Chapter 199: Butterfly Jade Pendant (3)
Mu Chengye's dormitory is very large, consisting of two floors, each with more than a dozen rooms. Probably because his strength is so strong, except for the guards outside the hall, there are only a few maids running around.
The maids hurried by, and no one noticed her. She stood in the center of the hall and looked around the room, wondering why Mu Chengye lived in so many rooms alone.
While thinking about it, Mu Mingyuan came out of a room on the second floor. His face was very similar to Mu Chengye when he was a teenager, and with the expression that others owed him money, Xie Qian felt very cordial.
He walked to the main hall and was slightly stunned when he saw Xie Qian, as if he was hesitating whether to greet her.
Xie Qian finally saw an acquaintance, so he naturally stepped forward enthusiastically to give a salute: "Second son, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Just one sentence made Mu Mingyuan stunned again. He looked Xie Qian up and down, and then said tentatively: "Do you still remember me now?" ”
"yes!" Xie Qian narrowed his eyes and smiled.
She had a good impression of Mu Mingyuan, after all, she was so protective of her younger brother in her previous life.
Mu Mingyuan pondered it carefully, but still didn't figure it out, so he had to ask lightly: "Are you reborn?" ”
"I've been reincarnated as a mortal, but by chance I remembered the events of my previous life." Xie Qian has always been afraid of trouble, so he summed it up so simply.
His brow furrowed slightly, as if he had suddenly realized.
Recently, it has been rumored in the Demon Realm that Demon Venerable has a heart for a girl Xie from the Immortal Realm. On weekdays, his younger brother was reluctant to reveal more of this, and he didn't ask.
Now that the truth has been revealed when he sees Xie Qian, Mu Chengye has really waited for a person for a hundred years.
Mu Mingyuan's eyes inadvertently glanced at the broom in her hand, looking puzzled. Xie Qian pulled the broom into his arms and explained solemnly: "In order for Lord Demon Venerable to agree to let me leave the Demon Realm for a while, I must clean his dormitory. ”
This brother is losing his temper again.
Thinking of this, Mu Mingyuan hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and said lightly: "Then you can do it well, I'll go out to do something." After speaking, he strode to the door of the main hall.
He suddenly remembered something, turned his head and told Xie Qian to clean his room as well, and then finally left.
The corners of Xie Qian's mouth twitched, thinking that the black belly turned out to be hereditary.
She held a broom and cleaned the house one by one. Many rooms were destroyed by the Demon Venerable as vents a few days ago, so they are brand new and don't need to be cleaned at all.
And because the room here is cleaned every month, so when it was almost evening, Xie Qian symbolically swept the entire dormitory.
She was very satisfied with the results of her work, and looked forward to Mu Chengye agreeing to let her go out of the demon world after seeing it.
I don't know when Mu Chengye will come back, she put her legs cross-legged on the railing, holding the broom while swinging her legs, while staring at the door in a daze.
The work of the maids also ended at this time, and when they looked up and saw Xie Qian's leisurely appearance, they always felt that this new maid was a little too dazzling.
Min Min, who was in charge of managing the maids, also heard that this newcomer was being troubled by the Demon Venerable, and decided to personally rectify her and frustrate her spirit.
She walked straight to the railing on the second floor and said quietly, "How can newcomers be lazy here?" ”
Xie Qian glanced at Min Min and clearly felt that her strength was the highest among the maids. She didn't get down from the railing, she continued to hold the broom and said expressionlessly: "Lord Demon Venerable asked me to clean the house, I have already done it, and I am not lazy." ”
The maids who watched the excitement downstairs were a little shocked, after all, they had never seen that maid dare to talk back to the steward Min Min.
At this moment, Min Min's face was also gloomy, and an idea came to his mind. She coughed lightly and continued, "Your Excellency Fang Cai said that you should personally send a pot of tea to him in the council hall. ”
"What is the council hall?" Xie Qian asked with a frown.
It's unbelievable that a maid doesn't know the structure of Runshan.
Min Min tried her best to be patient and explained, "The Council Hall is a place where the Lord and the other seven princes discuss matters on weekdays. If you walk out of this dormitory, turn left and you will see the corner tower with the golden roof. The Honorable Plain will sort out the information on the second floor, and need to supply tea. ”
There must be maids in such a formal place.
Xie Qian had a moment of suspicion, but decided that he didn't know this maid, and he would definitely not be rectified. She reluctantly leaned over to the first floor and walked straight towards the tea room, completely ignoring the eyes of the group of maids around her who looked at her twitching the corners of their mouths.
After today's cleaning, she has a general understanding of the entire dormitory. The place where the tea leaves are placed is in the tea room, and the wall facing the door is full of tea leaves.
She saw that several of the cans were worn, and speculated that it was a tea he drank regularly. Pinch the trick to take down these cans of tea, and weigh which one is better in your hand.
After thinking about it, she decided to take out some of each and mix it together.
There was a kettle on the tea table in the room, and it was filled with water. She boiled water in a fire talisman, made tea and protected it with an enchantment, and headed straight for the council hall.
The council hall is very close to the dormitory, and after a few steps, you will see a corner tower located at the foot of the mountain. At this moment, the sun is setting in the west, just shining on the golden roof.
Several guards stood guard at the gate, their faces serious.
When Xie Qian approached with the teapot, the guards showed expressions of looking at the diorama at the same time. When he heard Xie Qian say that he asked to see Mu Chengye, he was even more surprised.
Their superiors were moody, and no one dared to rush in to spread the word, for fear that they would get into trouble.
Xie Qian was angry that he was rejected again, after all, he had been rejected twice in just one day when he came to the Demon Realm. She simply crossed her waist with one hand, held the teapot with the other, and said with a cold face: "This is what Lord Demon Venerable personally asked me to send, what should you be guilty of if you delay?" ”
Several people looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.
She understood that everyone was also afraid of responsibility, so she simply said: "If something happens, I will be responsible, and I will definitely not involve you, how about it?" ”
Since she said so, thinking that a woman could not make too many waves, the guards dodged and let her in.
When you enter the corner tower, you will see that the stairs are winding and spiraling up. There are three floors, each with only one room. She climbed the stairs, stopped in front of the second-floor door, and knocked tentatively.
There was no movement inside, and only her heartbeat could be heard quietly.
She coughed lightly and said cautiously, "Lord Demon Venerable, I'm here to bring you tea." ”
Before the words fell, the door was opened suddenly, and Mu Chengye stood at the door wearing an azure robe. The half-draped black hair lazily scattered on his shoulders, setting off his evil charm.
He looked at her with a pair of fox eyes, and asked coldly, "Who asked you to come?" ”
