Chapter 243 It's so good to have found you
Yunyi was so angry she laughed: "Old man, do you think I'm a treasure trove? You can just casually ask for tens of thousands of taels?"
Mo Li frowned: "You don't even have tens of thousands of taels of silver? How are you going to hire people to build the house? Let me tell you, I know a master from the Mo family. They can set up traps and mechanisms in the houses they build here, and then..."
"A master of the Mohist school was brought over for just tens of thousands of taels of silver?"
"I saved Mo Xun's life, so a few tens of thousands of taels is just a token gesture," Mo Li waved his hand.
"I won't be staying here long, so wouldn't it be a waste of money for me to build a mountain resort?"
"Where are you going? The capital? What's so great about staying there? Besides, once this place is built, you can come here to retire in the future."
Yunyi: ...
You've really thought ahead.
However, Mo Li's words did tempt her. Wasn't she here to retire? But she was forced to work. After a few more years, after she had avenged herself, it was indeed time to find a place to spend her old age in peace. As for this place... it wasn't a bad option.
"Hey bro, how old are you and you're already thinking about living out your retirement?" Sixteen suddenly popped up.
Yunyi ignored her completely. After all, she hadn't come out when she was called earlier, so why should she have to respond as soon as she arrived?
"Girl, look at this place, it has mountains and water, it's a feng shui treasure land, you can keep a few gigolos there..."
Hong Yi was immediately displeased. The young lady belonged to her master. Keeping a gigolo? Wouldn't that mean her master was...? She quickly coughed and said, "Senior, you can't say such things."
Yunyi glanced at Hongyi, wondering why this girl was in such a hurry.
"How did I say anything out of line?" Mo Li glared at her. "The man who bought the maid is dead, so why can't she keep a gigolo?"
"But……"
"Don't give me any buts." Mo Li waved his hand domineeringly, "Either beat me, or I'll call the shots." He then took a fighting stance, "Come on, beat me and I won't let her keep a gigolo."
"Fine, let's fight." Hong Yi wasn't afraid at all and immediately started fighting.
Yunyi: ...
Since when did her affairs become something for these two to decide?
[Boss, boss, calling the boss.] Sixteen waited for a long time but didn't get a reply, so he started calling again.
Yunyi blocked her directly and then went into the stone house.
Ling Xiao still spends a lot of time in a coma these days, but his body is slowly recovering. The spiritual spring water has helped him expel a lot of toxins from his body. His teeth are not as black anymore, his face is not as pale, and his body is more flexible. In short, he looks more like a human now, instead of the zombie-like appearance he had at the beginning.
However, since it has been soaked in the medicine for too long, it will take time for it to fully recover.
Just then, he woke up and saw Yunyi. He paused for a moment, as if wondering who she was.
Yunyi walked over and looked down at him. The black death aura that had been surrounding him had faded, and his eyes, which were almost entirely white, had returned to normal. Although his eyes were a little lighter in color, they were no longer frightening.
“Miss.” Old Quan walked in. “Outside…” He had just come down from the mountain and saw Mo Li and Hong Yi fighting. He didn’t have the guts to stop them.
"It's nothing, the old man and the child are just bored."
Old Quan's lips twitched.
"Miss Miao'er?" Ling Xiao's lips moved, and he finally spoke, then grinned, "Old Mo found you."
“I am Miss Miao’er’s daughter.” Yun Yi also curled her lips. “Senior Ling, my name is Yun Yi.”
"Oh, you had a baby." Ling Xiao closed his eyes again, but his smile deepened. "That's wonderful, Lao Mo is so lucky."
Old Quan couldn't help but glance at Yun Yi, his expression somewhat complicated.
Yunyi didn't take it seriously. Although the man had survived, the poison had damaged his brain, causing some confusion. It would take time for him to recover. So, she first took his pulse and then inserted silver needles.
"Miss Miao'er?" Ling Xiao suddenly stammered.
Yun Yi didn't find it strange. Mo Li and Qi Miao'er had a past relationship, so it was normal for Ling Xiao to know Qi Miao'er.
"Old Mo found you? That's great." Ling Xiao suddenly smiled, then closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Yunyi raised her hand to touch her face, becoming even more curious about the original owner's mother.
After a quarter of an hour, he took out the silver needles and then looked at Lao Quan: "Uncle Lao Quan, please take extra care. That guy outside is unreliable. If there is anything unusual, please let me know immediately."
"Don't worry, we're all taking turns watching over you, senior."
"Actually, you're all about the same age. You always call him 'senior,' which makes me feel like he's an old man."
Old Quan was taken aback, then laughed. The girl was right; these two were only three to five years older than them. But in the end, he waved his hand and said, "This is a sign of respect. Their kung fu is amazing. We've been learning martial arts from Senior Mo these past few days."
"Whatever." Yunyi said, turning and leaving the stone house, only to find the old man and the girl still fighting. Hongyi was no match for her; it was obvious that Mo Li was just toying with her. But the girl was fighting harder and harder. Yunyi couldn't help but facepalm. "You two, isn't that enough? Do you want to keep fighting?"
"I'm not fighting anymore." Hong Yi hurriedly feigned a move and ran back to Yun Yi's side. "That old geezer is really wicked."
"Huh?" Yun Yi was surprised. This was a common saying in modern society. Did this girl know it too?
"Seriously, he could have defeated me in ten moves, but he deliberately didn't. He went at it for over a hundred moves, just on purpose," Hong accused angrily. "You know, he's so old, isn't he really that wicked?"
“Yes, it is indeed very bad.” Yunyi nodded.
“Girl, this little girl has a talent for martial arts. I want to take her as my disciple and train her to become the next leader of the martial arts alliance.”
Yunyi looked at Hongyi.
“No.” Hong Yi shook her head directly.
"Why don't you? The current leader of the martial arts alliance is my disciple. He later conspired with Bai Jianming to harm me. I have to take back that position."
“Go ahead.” Hong Yi rolled her eyes. “Don’t even think about me. I’m going to stick with my young lady for the rest of my life. Being the leader of the martial arts alliance is just like being the emperor. It’s a thankless job. I can’t do it even if I don’t want to.”
"you……"
"With so many children in your family, there must be some martial arts prodigies among them. You can just go and recognize one of them. Why bother with me? I'm too old to teach them properly. Besides, I already have a master. If I were to become your disciple, that would be betraying my master and ancestors. I won't do that."
"Alright." Mo Li frowned and pondered for a moment, then nodded. "I'll find someone else." He was about to leave when Yun Yi called him back.
