Chapter 45 Xun Chou Seeks Revenge

Once all the dishes at Muweixuan were served, Zhao Bin reluctantly went over, his face cold and his heart filled with displeasure.

Just now, the head gardener called him to serve the dishes, and the implication in her words was that the female cultivator from Muweixuan had taken a liking to him, and he seemed to think how honored he should be.

The way he was being summoned didn't look like he was being asked to serve the dishes; it looked more like he was being asked to sell himself!

Zhao Bin knocked on the door casually, and even the sound of his knocking suggested that the visitor was rude.

Hearing a "Come in" from inside the door, Zhao Bin pushed the door open with a blank face, then stood to the side with his eyes down.

Seeing his expression, Shen Yao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Zhao Bin looked up and saw... 'This customer repairman looks a bit like...'

She resembled his beloved second senior sister, whom he had been longing for day and night.

Shen Yao looked at him and raised an eyebrow.

'Could it be an illusion…' Zhao Bin asked excitedly, 'Are you…?'

Shen Yao coughed sharply to interrupt him, made a shushing gesture, and said, "Serve the food."

The food at Xiangyuan was delicious, and Shen Yao and Xianyu savored it slowly.

Zhao Bin felt as if a hundred claws were scratching at his heart, but he could only suppress it and quietly set out the dishes.

The head cook remembered the new kitchen helper and asked him to set the dishes. The helper looked unhappy and was worried that the ignorant kitchen helper might offend the guest cultivator. He took a few moments to peek through the small window of Muweixuan.

Seeing the kitchen helper named Xun Chou diligently serving the dishes, he secretly praised him, saying "He's got it right," and returned to the counter satisfied.

After finally finishing her meal, Shen Yao wiped her mouth and asked Zhao Bin loudly, "What's your name?"

Zhao Bin said, "Xun is the Xun of Xuncao, and Chou is the Chou of Chousuan."

'Xun Chou.' Shen Yao silently murmured to herself, 'Seeking revenge.'

Shen Yao shook her head: "He chose such an obvious name, as if he's afraid the other party won't know he's here for revenge."

Shen Yao asked Xiao Wei, who was guarding the room outside, to go and call Zhang Yuan over.

The garden manager arrived with a smile: "Are you two fairies satisfied?"

When he asked this question, his eyes were only on Shen Yao, but he glanced at Zhao Bin, which showed that he meant something.

Shen Yao smiled and replied, "Satisfied, whether it's the food or..."

Shen Yao drawled out her words, glanced shyly at Zhao Bin, and continued, "I'm satisfied with everything."

Zhao Bin's face flushed red instantly.

The garden manager smiled and said, "It's good that the fairies are satisfied. Would you like to return to your rooms now?"

Shen Yao leaned back in her chair: "Headmaster, how much does Immortal Xun earn a month as his cook here?"

Manager: "Hehe, fairy, Xun Chou is our kitchen helper, with a monthly salary of seven hundred and ten coins."

Shen Yao: "How long has Immortal Xun been here? How long has the contract with you last been?"

Manager: "Reporting to the fairy, he has been here for half a month and signed a one-year contract."

Shen Yao: "In that case, I'll give you 1,000 coins, how about you give him to me?"

The gardener hesitated, then said carefully, "This... Fairy, although he hasn't been here long, I..."

"Three thousand," Shen Yao said. "That's enough for you to find another good kitchen helper."

The head cook was calculating whether he could find another decent kitchen helper in the next day. Before he could reply, the fairy said, "Five thousand."

Shen Yao's expression had already turned sour, and she said coldly, "Any more and it wouldn't be worth the price."

The gardener hurriedly replied, "Oh dear, fairy, that's enough, that's enough, fairy is so generous..."

Shen Yao smiled and said, "You know what's good for you."

Shen Yao took out two large bags of coins, placed them on the table, accepted the work contract handed over by Manager Qi, and was about to leave when she heard a voice from the doorway: "Is Manager Qi no longer managing the garden? Has he switched to selling apprenticeships?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yao's gaze turned cold, and she gave the male cultivator blocking the door a sharp look.

Just as Qi Zhangyuan was about to turn around and start cursing, he saw that the person in question was Wang Xu and hurriedly greeted him, "Wang Xianfan has arrived! Xiaoyuan has been waiting for you for a long time."

He then smiled apologetically at Shen Yao and bowed, saying, "Little fairy, Wang Xianfan just loves to joke. This Wang Xianfan is a great immortal from the Wind God Hall of the True God Sect, and he often visits my little garden."

When Zhao Bin saw Wang Xu, he was filled with hatred. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth to restrain himself.

Shen Yao wanted to retort, but seeing that Zhao Bin was not in a good mood, she wanted to get away as soon as possible. So she said calmly, "If Master Qi had a few more male immortals with such good looks, it would be great if I could sell them all to him."

Wang Xu was always quick to speak his mind, and after hearing Shen Yao's reply, he couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.

Shen Yao asked, "Immortal Xun, do you know where the viewing room is?"

Zhao Bin shook his head, and Qi Zhangyuan quickly chimed in, "Fairy, he spends all his time in the back garden and hasn't been to the guest rooms yet. Xiao Wei, quickly take the two fairies to the guest rooms."

Xiao Wei obediently replied, "Please follow me, fairies."

After Shen Yao left, Wang Xu said to Qi Zhangyuan, "A room with a view, and this table full of delicacies, spending five thousand to buy a kitchen helper, ha, two female cultivators with seventh-grade four spiritual roots, that's quite generous."

Qi Zhangyuan chimed in, "Perhaps she is the beloved daughter of a sect leader or elder from some major sect, visiting Immortal Wood City."

Wang Xu shook his head disdainfully: "They're all spoiled brats."

Qi Zhangyuan said, "Xianfan is right."

Wang Xu said no more and went straight to the Lingrui Pavilion that he had arranged.

When Shen Yao walked to the center of the courtyard, she encountered a noble male immortal dressed in a dark cloud robe with a handsome and aloof face. He came from the front hall and felt a sense of familiarity, so she stopped and took a closer look.

"It's that face." Shen Yao's anger blazed within her: "It's that face that crippled my master and destroyed the Spirit Herb Sect."

Shen Yao gripped Xianyu's hand tightly, trying her best to remain calm.

The salted fish sensed something was wrong and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Hearing the salted fish's voice, Shen Yao came back to her senses: "It's nothing, I just feel like I ate a little too much."

Salted Fish: "Eat less next time."

"Okay." Shen Yao pulled Xianyu along and urged Zhao Bin to hurry up and follow Xiao Wei.

Seeing Zhao Bin also standing still, his eyes brimming with hatred, Shen Yao tugged at him: "Immortal Xun, why aren't you leaving? You've been sold to me for half a year, and the contract is still with me."

Zhao Bin also came to his senses, glanced at Shen Yao with a complicated look, and walked past Xiao Wei in a huff, quickly moving forward.

Jiang Ming, with his spiritual sense extended, naturally noticed the gaze coming from the courtyard. He quickly walked to the courtyard and only saw Shen Yao's profile.

"Stop." Jiang Ming's tone was cold and brooked no refusal.

Shen Yao turned around calmly, her expression aloof: "What is it?"

Jiang Ming: "Why were you looking at me just now?"

Shen Yao: "Your clothes are beautiful, I couldn't help but take a few more glances."

Jiang Ming's gaze turned slightly cold as he took a few steps forward: "You were clearly staring at my face just now."

Shen Yao retorted confidently, "So what if I look at you? Can't I look at you? Are you going to hit me here in this inn?"

Jiang Ming choked, feeling a tightness in his chest. He flicked his long sleeves, turned around and left, muttering coldly as he went, "frivolous and dissolute."

Shen Yao rolled her eyes at Jiang Ming's retreating figure and quickly followed Xiao Wei, pulling Xianyu along with her.

As Jiang Ming walked to Xiangyuan, he suddenly felt that the female cultivator's face seemed somewhat familiar. He stood at the entrance of Xiangyuan and thought for a long time, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.

After settling Wang Xu in, Qi Zhangyuan hadn't even reached the counter when he saw Jiang Ming standing at the door. He quickly greeted him with a big smile, "Oh, Master Jiang, you've arrived! Lingruixuan is all ready, please come in."

After being interrupted by Qi Zhangyuan, Jiang Ming gave up and stepped into Xiangyuan without even glancing at Qi Zhangyuan.
