The Good-for-Nothing Seventh Miss

Chapter 690: Ouyang Huanyu (2)

One trouble followed another. She had just taken care of the special envoy when this hard-wired man suddenly came to her doorsteps. She just did not know what was the purpose of Ouyang Huanyu’s sudden visit.

“Never mind. Let me go and meet him. I don’t think he is of any threat to me now.” Avoiding problems was never her style.

“Should we go with you?” Qi Xia asked.

Shen Yanxiao shook her head.

“For now, I don’t want too many people from the Longxuan Empire to find out that you are here.” Five potential inheritors of the great aristocrat families gathered in one location would catch too much attention. Revealing too much of her hidden cards was not a wise choice.

“Then you must be careful. If anything goes wrong, send out Vermilion Bird. As far as I know, the magic beast that Ouyang Huanyu has is only a high-ranked magic beast. With Vermilion Bird by your side, he cannot harm you.” Tang Nazhi could not help but give more advice to Shen Yanxiao, as he was still worried for her.

“I know what I am doing.” Shen Yanxiao smiled. Whenever she wanted to solve something herself, the five beasts would immediately turn into her nannies. They were as thoughtful as Yin Jiuchen.

“Evil Wolf, take me to him.” Shen Yanxiao took a deep breath. She was most curious about Ouyang Huanyu’s reason for coming here.

They walked past the neat and clean street. From the distance, Shen Yanxiao saw an old man in a white robe. Given the temperament he was born with, Ouyang Huanyu was not the kind of person that people would be averse to. Those of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group next to him were chatting with him. The expressions of those mercenaries indicated that they admired Ouyang Huanyu quite a bit.

However, no matter how gentle and cultivated Ouyang Huanyu appeared to be on the surface, in Shen Yanxiao’s heart, he was a sly fox.

“Principal Ouyang, it has been a long time. How are you?” Shen Yanxiao suppressed her aversion for him and greeted him calmly.

Ouyang Huanyu turned around and looked at Shen Yanxiao with a smile. The mild expression on his face made him look like a kind elder.

“I am doing fine.”

“Principal Ouyang, what is your purpose for coming such a long way here? The Forsaken Land is a dangerous place. If you wanted a spot for a trip, this is definitely not the spot,” Shen Yanxiao asked with a smile. No trace of contempt could be detected in her words. Her words were full of admiration for her teacher, as if she was a straight-A student paying respect to her teacher.

Ouyang Huanyu replied with a smile, “This is not a proper place for a talk. I wonder if I can have a private conversation with you, the City Lord of Sun Never Sets. Truth be told, I am here on behalf of someone.”

Shen Yanxiao was surprised. She digested Ouyang Huanyu’s words in her mind quickly. On behalf of someone? Could it be Yun Qi?

A moment of thought later, Shen Yanxiao nodded. “Then let us go to the mansion.”

“Sure.”

At the city lord’s mansion, Shen Yanxiao told everyone to leave while she stayed in the main hall with Ouyang Huanyu alone.

Ouyang Huanyu was sitting on a brand-new chair. He glanced through the few items in the room. He noticed that this mansion was still a work-in-progress. On the outside, it looked impressive and magnificent, but the interior left much to be desired.

Only a small desk and several chairs were in the main hall. Even those were created by Yang Xi using some woods from the Forsaken Land.

Compared to the grandness of the exterior, the interior appeared miserable and shabby.

It took Ouyang Huanyu a while to look around before he moved his gentle gaze back to Shen Yanxiao. “The Longxuan Empire has been through too many setbacks in the Forsaken Land. It is admirable that you have successfully built Sun Never Sets to this extent. You poor kid. You have to shoulder so much responsibility when you are still so young. I believe your days in Sun Never Sets must be difficult.”
