Let Me Explain, Fairy

Chapter 875: Chapter 550: Uproar

When thinking becomes rigid, it’s easy to get stuck, and Xiao Bai’s reminder shattered such a mental mold.

Originally, the matter of being rejected for marriage, due to the inertia brought by memories of his past life, Xu Yuan subconsciously felt that rejecting a marriage proposal was a normal affair.

Because of his disdain for the prodigal sons, he would rather die than marry out, isn’t that normal?

From the perspective of a modern person, it’s of course normal, not to mention that he nearly violated someone before.

But the question is, is it normal to threaten death to cancel a marriage engagement in Dayan?

It’s not normal, very abnormal.

The freedom to choose one’s marriage partner in the Prime Minister’s Mansion was actually an exception; arranged marriages among the noble clans were the norm.

Even someone with a character like Li Qingyan saw this as a matter of course, let alone the fragile and timid Mu Zhiyun.

After Bai Muxi’s reminder broke Xu Yuan’s mental mold, linking these two events together, many originally uncertain suspicions could now be confirmed.

Thus, to praise Xiao Bai, Xu Yuan added some accessories for her at those century-old shops in Huaijiu Alley.

For instance, a veil that could block Will-spirit probes, and hairpins that could keep hair in place even when moving at high speeds.

These were items used by cultivators, so they were very expensive.

He casually spent over ten thousand taels, which caused Bai Muxi to complain softly beside him.

Complaining that Xu Yuan was spending money recklessly.

When Xu Yuan saw this, he directly laughed and said she had quite the spirit of the owner, not evening waiting for nightfall before treating his silver as her own.

And after hearing this joke, Bai Muxi immediately fell silent.

She felt this was the young master’s way of admonishing her, acknowledging that she had indeed overstepped.

Xu Yuan noticed her unease and realized she had misunderstood his intentions, but he did not bother to explain much.

If Xiao Bai wanted to manage the money, he actually did not oppose it.

Because in the future, he truly needed such a trusted person to manage his finances.

The position of Chairman of the Tian’an Association in the Prime Minister’s Mansion, if compared to official posts within The Imperial Court, was essentially the same as individually holding the responsibilities of the Minister of Revenue, Minister of War, and Chief of Staff, where professional knowledge and capability in various measures were indispensable.

Although Elder Hua was still hale and hearty, he was already over a hundred years old, and would ultimately have to step down; and so far, aside from Li Junqing, Bai Muxi was the most suitable for this position.

Not to mention that Li Junqing, being from the Imperial Family, would not possibly work for him, even if the other party was willing, he would not dare to employ him.

So currently, there was only Xiao Bai.

The Underground City might be small, but it was complete in every aspect, and as the Si Ming who oversaw everything within, Bai Muxi had some understanding of production, logistics, construction, and so on, and indeed could be trained in this direction.

However, if that was the case... then she must sever her ties with the Earth Palace Remnants!

For now, putting these matters aside, Xu Yuan then led Bai Muxi into a dim shop named Ya Qi Xuan.

When they emerged, Bai Muxi had two more silk pouches in her hands, each containing a sealed jade box. Although her expression remained tranquil, her bright eyes occasionally flashed with surprise and uncertainty.

The items the young master bought for her in this shop were somewhat strange.

That hair accessory which resembled beast ears was indeed cute, but what about that short-handled whisk that looked like a beast’s tail?

Infused with spiritual energy, both could move gently, lifelike.

Watching the calm figure with purposeful strides ahead, Bai Muxi suppressed the doubts in her mind and quickly followed.

On their way back to the stable, Xu Yuan and her attracted some attention.

Not for their appearances, nor for Xiao Bai’s figure, but because of richness.

As all items were gifts for Xiao Bai, Xu Yuan did not put the purchased items back into his Sumeru Ring; the shop patterns on the dozen silk pouches told of their richness.

But that was all; on this street, they were not the only rich ones.

See, just as they arrived at the entrance of the stableyard where their vehicles were parked, they saw a black Single-Scale horse pulling a vividly painted vehicle emerge from the middle.

Xu Yuan recognized the thing as seemingly a Nine Returns vehicle.

Except for slightly weaker defense capabilities, it was on the same level as the Black Dragon vehicles he used to ride frequently.

"It couldn’t possibly be the Mu siblings who had left earlier, could it?"

Thinking thus, Xu Yuan knitted his brows and glanced through the carriage window.

The window was not shut, and through the flimsy soundproof curtain, the silhouette of someone inside the carriage was faintly visible.

As the curtain swayed with the wind, a low hum of a chant drifted out.

Hearing this, Xu Yuan smiled lightly and withdrew his gaze.

Some unrecognized dandy, yet behaving so indiscreetly in his carriage on the public street, possessed a bit of the flair he himself had once upon a time.

Brushing past this luxurious carriage, Xu Yuan quickly entered the horse shed square.

After showing the token he had just exchanged to the person in charge, not long after, a stable boy swiftly led out a carriage for two.

And just as Xu Yuan got on and was about to speak, he saw Bai Muxi take off her veil and demurely sit beside him, causing the soft couch to dip slightly; her beautiful eyes glistened with moisture.

Clearly, she had also heard the moan that had just barely seeped out.

Their eyes met for an instant, and with the jolt of the carriage setting off, Bai Muxi directly collapsed into Xu Yuan’s embrace.

Everything around them was silent, just perfectly so.

Bai Muxi was dressed in plain clothes today, the style quite loose; the relaxed fabric draped over her curved figure, the double-layered collar not revealing the slightest bit of skin, but it facilitated exploration.

The fragrance from her hair mixed with the rising scent within the carriage tickled at his nose,

And amid the rustling, a tantalizing evil was already within grasp.

More substantial than she appeared.

Bai Muxi pursed her red lips, not making a sound, yet a slight blush rose on her snow-white earlobes.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan felt like he probably wouldn’t make it until evening.

All thanks to that unrecognized dandy earlier.

With that thought in mind, Xu Yuan’s other hand encircled around Xiao Bai’s waist, deftly grabbing a tie.

Bai Muxi’s bright eyes were already misty enough to drip droplets.

She felt that now she should do something to go along with it, just as she had thought before.

But while some things are clear in theory, when the moment comes to experience them, the heartbeat can’t help but begin to race uncontrollably.

Xu Yuan thought, if anyone dares disturb him at this moment...

"Come out!" a delicate shout suddenly rang out sharply.

What the hell was that?

Xu Yuan paused in his actions, his eyes instantly flashing with bloodlust, as his Spiritual Vision immediately extended and locked onto the person who had spoken amid the bustling street.

And upon seeing her face, Xu Yuan’s eyes unconsciously narrowed.

Damn it, how did this woman not die at the Northern Frontier?

Xu Mengxi.

That female constable from the Secret Investigation Department who had been eager to capture him.

Instinctively wanting to step out and give this woman a lesson, but he had just stood up when he suddenly realized that he had already died, and with his current identity, he hadn’t really committed any crimes, had he?

His little brain was controlled by his big brain, a bit out of reason.

Rubbing his temples, Xu Yuan calmed his mind for a moment, only to then notice that Xu Mengxi was not coming for him but for that luxurious carriage from before.

The warm sunlight reflected off the snow on both sides, and a valiant woman in a purple and red uniform of the Secret Investigation stood with her sword across her saddle, blocking the path of that unicorn Black Scale carriage.

Her spirited eyes filled with killing intent and disgust, Xu Mengxi looked at the halted carriage, her voice carrying:

"Qin Weishu, you dare to enter Di’an City after plotting against a Commander of the Imperial Court? Come with me."

Qin Weishu...

At the sound of her voice, Xu Yuan immediately realized that this must be the legitimate son of the Jiangnan Qin Family, the brother of Qin Weijiu.

What was he doing in Di’an City?
