Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All

Chapter 451 Waiting in the Room

When Dong Xi said this, Shangguan Patriarch's face immediately darkened.

"I'll be out tomorrow and won't be in the mansion," Shangguan Patriarch said through gritted teeth.

"Son-In-Law will come the day after tomorrow," said Dong Xi.

"I have something to do outside the day after tomorrow," said Shangguan Patriarch.

...

Seeing that Shangguan Patriarch was running out of patience, Dong Xi stopped provoking him and said, "Alright, Son-In-Law will wait in the room."

"You go back first." Shangguan Patriarch nodded.

When Shangguan Patriarch saw Dong Xi's smiling face, he felt very annoyed. Sometimes, he felt that this virtuous Son-In-Law was quite sensible, but sometimes, he did not have any judgment at all. It was really strange.

Xiao Han contacted Dong Xi five days later. At this time, there were only two days left before the opening of the Secret Realm.

Dong Xi took advantage of these few days to prepare some items that could be used in the Secret Realm. After receiving Xiao Han's message, Dong Xi was afraid that the Shangguan Patriarch, who was paying close attention to the Rainbow Store, would find out. So, Dong Xi simply asked Xiao Han out for a chat.

The two of them sat in the private room of the teahouse and closed the doors and windows. The restriction of the teahouse could isolate their voices and prevent outsiders from eavesdropping.

The waiter served tea to the two of them and walked out.

When Xiao Han saw that there were only two people in the room, she immediately took out a jade slip and handed it to Dong Xi. Xiao Han said, "Boss, look, all the people who can be hired are here. There are 132 people."

When Xiao Han said this, her heart ached.

If they were to hire all 130 of them, that would be 132,000 spirit stones, and they would be top-quality spirit stones.

Although they had earned some spirit stones this time, who would not feel heartache if they spent hundreds of thousands of spirit stones like this? What did the boss want?

Dong Xi, on the other hand, was much calmer. She was seriously looking at Xiao Han's jade slip.

Xiao Han was very clear about the cultivation level, weapons, and spirit roots of these people.

Of course, these people's cultivation levels were basically a little low. Even if they were willing to be hired, they felt that they would not be able to obtain anything in the Secret Realm. If they were hired, they would still be able to earn top-grade spirit stones.

Their calculations were not bad, but Dong Xi was naturally not someone who would be easily taken advantage of.

Dong Xi looked at the jade slip and returned it to Xiao Han. Dong Xi said, "Tell them that if they want to be guards, they must listen to orders and not act on their own. Also, everything they obtain in the Secret Realm must be handed over. When they come out, they will be distributed according to everyone's contribution."

Xiao Han agreed and then sent Dong Xi's instructions to the people in the Rainbow Store.

As expected, with this condition, only 62 people were willing to be hired.

"62 it is, it's enough," Dong Xi immediately said.

Xiao Han immediately prepared a contract and went back. Those who were willing to be hired signed the contract. The contract was protected by the Heavenly Dao and no one could violate it.

It was also because of this that Dong Xi felt very assured.

After solving the problem of the guards, Dong Xi put down the worries in her heart. Shangguan Yun'er would go to the Secret Realm with them. As long as they entered and exited the Secret Realm, Dong Xi's mission would be considered complete.

Dong Xi bade farewell to Xiao Han in satisfaction. After leaving the teahouse, Dong Xi returned to the Shangguan Residence.

Unexpectedly, Little Ya was actually at the door today, as if she was waiting for someone.

Dong Xi walked forward and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Little Ya, long time no see."

Little Ya looked at Dong Xi coldly. Little Ya said directly, "I saw you go to a teahouse with a female cultivator today. Is that true?"

"Yes, so what?" Dong Xi raised her eyebrows and said."

Little Ya's face immediately darkened. Little Ya warned, "You're now the Young Master of the Shangguan family. No matter what you did in the past, you can't do it now. You have to take into account the Shangguan family and the Young Miss's reputation. If I see it again next time, I'll report it to Old Master directly."

When Dong Xi heard this, she immediately laughed. Dong Xi circled around Little Ya and looked into her eyes. Dong Xi said lightly, "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Little Ya to help me hide it. Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Little Ya."

Little Ya looked at Dong Xi's cynical smile and knew that Dong Xi definitely did not take what she said just now seriously. Little Ya said, "Make a Heart Demon Oath now."

Dong Xi immediately became serious. Dong Xi said, "There's no need for that. Since you want to be a piece of trash who only knows how to complain, go tell Father-In-Law then."

After Dong Xi finished speaking, she walked around Little Ya and walked inside. The fan in her hand swayed slightly. She really looked like Second Senior Brother Song Qingfeng.

Little Ya was so angry that she gritted her teeth and snorted coldly. She turned around and complained to Shangguan Patriarch.
