Stealing The Yuri Protagonist Harem (Xianxia) - Chapter 64: Hmm, We Don't Know Anything

Inside the room of the residence, Luo Wusheng sat on the edge of the bed, stroking his chin, his face filled with contemplation.

“I can’t help but feel that Little Yuli’s defense against verbal attacks has increased recently– Is it because I’ve been using this skill too frequently? Did it result in her mental resistance improving?”

While feeling regretful that he couldn’t achieve outstanding results, Luo Wusheng retrieved the wooden sword back to his waist.

Looking at this girl’s performance, there won’t be a pleasant chat and banter session with Lu Yuliu today.

As a result, a segment of my planned schedule has freed up.

‘And I already have enough quantities of the handmade firearms as gifts…’

Originally, according to my original plan, this rare free time could be used to secretly go to the Red Blossom Pavilion and listen to music. But unfortunately, I have already been to the Red Blossom Pavilion today.

Thinking about the matter of crafting, with the Artifact Refiners at the Demon Artifact Pavilion working tirelessly, and four officers in charge of the related publicity, Luo Wusheng suddenly felt that he had completely relaxed.

“No, I still need to think about what preparations need to be made for the reopening the day after tomorrow… There are already many people paying attention to the Demon Artifact Pavilion, so I need to make a big scene…”

With this thought, the issue of manpower at the Demon Artifact Pavilion became obviously serious.

With the current few people at the Demon Artifact Pavilion, it would be somewhat stretched to entertain so many guests in the Royal City.

Even if I became an unscrupulous capitalist and made them work intensively, the few officers only have Qi Refining cultivation base, and this state cannot be sustained for long.

Should I recruit some temporary workers?

Luo Wusheng hesitated.

‘If only I had a group of reliable Foundation Establishment cultivators…’

Unfortunately, the Demon Sect is too far away, otherwise I could ask Bai Xiaoyao if she could bring over some personnel from the [Little Demon Domain].

Now I definitely can’t wait for the ten-day journey of the Sea-Crossing Boat.

Forget it, if there’s no other way, I can only spend some money tomorrow to find some temporary workers and get through the days with the highest flow of customers.

“I still need to hold an opening ceremony— I can arrange the fireworks myself. If possible, I would like to invite the courtesan Yao Ji to play the Guqin, I’m sure the effect of playing it live in front of a crowd would be explosive…”

This way, I can also completely justify my first visit to the Red Blossom Pavilion and kill two birds with one stone.

Wonderful, I will send an invitation to Miss Yao Ji tomorrow.

While he was thinking about it, Luo Wusheng suddenly looked up.

‘This aura… Is Bai Xiaoyao back?’

Feeling the return of his Junior Sister’s presence, Luo Wusheng’s heartbeat quickened.

Using his spiritual awareness to detect that Bai Xiaoyao’s aura wasn’t coming towards him but returning to Bai Xiaoyao’s own room, he sighed inwardly.

It seemed that he didn’t have enough luck to see Bai Xiaoyao clad in black stockings.

Just as he felt a little regretful, the aura of Bai Xiaoyao in his spiritual awareness started to move again.

This time, it was clearly getting closer and closer to him!

‘Could it be— the thing I imagined previously is going to be reality?’

Thump, thump

“Senior Brother?”

Upon hearing his Junior Sister’s voice coming from outside the door, Luo Wusheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and then firmly suppressed his expression.

After confirming that he was exuding an aura of a righteous gentleman both inside and out, he stood up and walked to the door, pulling the latch.

This feeling, akin to unveiling a secret, made his heart inevitably flutter.

Unfortunately, after opening the door, he still saw the familiar young girl.

She was still wearing that pure white dress, exuding a touch of sacred beauty.

Not letting the slight disappointment in his heart show on his face, Luo Wusheng revealed his usual smile.

“I was just looking for Junior Sister when you came back— judging by your current appearance, there shouldn’t be any problems, right?”

Bai Xiaoyao, standing outside the door, nodded lightly in response to her Senior Brother’s question.

“I’m fine now.” She softly said, “I wanted to talk to Senior Brother about last night’s matter. Is Senior Brother available for a discussion?”

Upon hearing that Bai Xiaoyao came to discuss important matters, and seeing the somewhat serious expression on her face, Luo Wusheng put away his other thoughts.

‘It seems that this girl is also concerned about last night’s incident…’

He inwardly sighed.

Although he had relaxed quite a bit after listening to a song at the Red Blossom Pavilion, in reality, he wasn’t as carefree as he had claimed to be to Lu Yuliu.

If he had some clue about the person behind the scenes, it would be fine, but now he had no information at all, and he was clearly in a passive situation.

He couldn’t even figure out what the opponent wanted to achieve.

The most likely suspect at the moment was the Buddhist Sect, and that bald coachman seemed to be affiliated with the Buddhist Sect, making him the prime suspect.

But all of this was just baseless speculation based on the maliciousness of the Buddhist Sect in the original work.

If he let himself be blinded by this speculation, he might miss other clues.

In this situation, listening to the opinions of his Junior Sister, who didn’t have preconceived impressions, might bring unexpected gains.

With that in mind, Luo Wusheng nodded.

“I was just planning the opening ceremony for the day after tomorrow— but this matter doesn’t need to be rushed. We can decide after we sort out last night’s events.”

He said, gesturing for his Junior Sister to come in.

What he didn’t see was the imperceptible smile that appeared on Bai Xiaoyao’s face as she brushed past him.

…………

Outside the Red Blossom Pavilion, at this moment.

Hu Dingtian, Li Xing, and Xu Yuchun, the three officers of the Demon Artifact Pavilion, looked at each other in confusion.

“—Holy Maiden?”

Xiao Hu blurted out without any context.

But Li Xing and Xu Yuchun silently nodded in agreement.

“So it seems that the Holy Maiden has given all of us an additional reward,” Hu Dingtian said with a slightly strange expression. “But why are you both here at the Red Blossom Pavilion as well?”

“Don’t you know the reason when you yourself came here?” Li Xing looked a little embarrassed.

Next to him, Xu Yuchun also seemed somewhat uncomfortable.

This afternoon, their Holy Maiden had visited each of the Trial Martial Arena platforms they were responsible for and given them an extra reward.

It was a reward for their hard work these past few days.

The amount of the reward happened to be slightly more than what they had spent during their previous visit to the Red Blossom Pavilion in a single night.

So the three disciples of the [Joyful Lotus Domain] immediately thought of their main duties.

At that time, they thought it was just a coincidence. But now, looking at the other two besides themselves…

It seemed that things were not so simple?

It was clear that the Holy Maiden had intentionally done so after gathering relevant information.

“What about Old Wang? Why is it only the three of us?” Xu Yuchun suddenly asked.

“Isn’t it obvious? He must have been taken away by that Miss Su from the Su family,” Li Xing replied with a hint of annoyance. “The Holy Maiden obviously wants us to stay out overnight, how could she let Old Wang go back?”

“…”

After Li Xing finished speaking, the three grown men fell into silence for a moment.

They all realized something.

“Do you think the Holy Saint knows about this?” Hu Dingtian looked at his two companions.

“I think the Holy Saint either truly doesn’t know… or he knows but pretends not to know,” Li Xing analyzed rationally.

Xu Yuchun felt that his analysis made sense and silently nodded. “So what do we do now?”

Faced with this question, the three men exchanged glances.

Soon, they reached a consensus through their eye contact.

Well, from now on, they also knew nothing.

How could they, as small fry, dare to meddle in the affairs of their Sect Holy Saint and Holy Maiden?
