Chapter 1636

~7 min read 1,246 words

Lailey follows Su Xuan to the island, and afterward, Su Xuan arranges for him to join his company.

Su Xuan's company has a rather domineering name, called "Heavenly Dao Group." After all, he himself became the Supreme Dao Ancestor by chance, so having an extra Heavenly Dao Group is not a strange thing.

And regarding Su Xuan's arrangement, Lailey has no intention of refusing.

Over these years, although he has also set up some businesses, his main purpose has been to hunt down Xu Fu and settle his karma with him.

Now, since Su Xuan said Xu Fu will appear soon and brought him to Hong Kong, this means Xu Fu might come to Hong Kong before long.

At this time, following Su Xuan's arrangement is actually a more correct thing to do.

As for becoming a wage earner? Is it awkward? Can he accept it?

For the current Lailey, there is no sense of awkwardness at all.

After all, the Qin Dynasty has been destroyed for over two thousand years, and he is no longer the Qin Shi Huang of those days.

Now, he is just a third-generation zombie.

And Su Xuan? As the Supreme Dao Ancestor, who knows how many years he has lived.

In legends, he is even the one who preached the Dao.

Even if he were still the First Emperor, he wouldn't amount to much in front of Su Xuan.

After arranging for Lailey, Su Xuan pays him no more mind.

After all, he is just a third-generation zombie; if it weren't for the fact that the other party also holds the identity of the First Emperor Ying Zheng, Su Xuan wouldn't even glance at him.

But the other party happens to be the Ying Zheng of this world.

For the sake of the Ying Zheng in his own world, Su Xuan decides to take good care of Lailey.

On the other side, he arrives near Jiajia Building.

Jiajia Building has been around for some years and is a relatively old building; it is not very tall, and the tenants inside mostly live in family groups. It is worth mentioning that the owner of this building is Wang Zhenzhen's mother, Ouyang Jiajia, so Wang Zhenzhen can actually be considered a rich second generation.

Even if this building is very old, and even if Ouyang Jiajia bought it a long time ago, it is almost the year 2000 now, and the value of this building has reached an astronomical price.

Su Xuan just arrived near Jiajia Building.

A girl wearing glasses holding a pile of flyers comes to his side. "Sir, would you like to take a look? Our shop is having a promotion recently, meals are only 68% off..."

Su Xuan does not refuse, but picks up a flyer and really starts reading it.

Afterward, he looks the girl over and asks her: "Little girl, may I ask how to get to Jiajia Building?"

Hearing Su Xuan's words, the girl wearing glasses lights up. "Sir, you want to go to Jiajia Building? I live there."

As she speaks, she says somewhat embarrassedly: "If I weren't busy, I could take you there, but my flyers aren't finished yet..."

"It's okay, you just need to tell me the specific route." Su Xuan has an approachable demeanor.

The girl immediately tells Su Xuan the specific location of Jiajia Building.

After listening to the girl, Su Xuan says: "I can tell you are a good person. I am proficient in some Feng Shui and physiognomy; from your face, I can see you are about to face a calamity. In return for showing me the way, keep this amulet safe; perhaps it can help you avoid the calamity."

As he speaks, without waiting for the girl to say anything, he takes out an exquisitely crafted jade talisman and hands it to her.

Upon hearing Su Xuan's mystical words, the girl is stunned.

But fortunately, Ma Xiaoling's Lingling Hall is located in Jiajia Building, and she also has a disciple, Jin Zhengzhong; the girl is very familiar with them, so she can barely accept these kinds of things.

She takes the amulet Su Xuan hands her, somewhat surprised.

Aren't ordinary people's amulets paper talismans? The amulet from this mysterious gentleman seems to be jade, and it looks priceless at first glance.

Could it be stolen goods?

The girl cannot help but think.

Su Xuan does not explain anything; he takes a flyer he previously got from the girl and leaves, heading toward Jiajia Building.

With Su Xuan's strength, it is impossible that he didn't know where Jiajia Building was.

But he still chose to ask the girl for directions; of course, there is a reason for it.

The girl's name is Ruan Mengmeng, a character with a rather tragic fate in the original work.

Her life was full of hardships; her father died when she was very young.

Her mother suffers from severe Alzheimer's; she lives a poor life, relying on working multiple jobs to earn money for her mother's medical treatment. Later, she saw the Miss Asia beauty pageant on TV and signed up, but not to become famous, but so her mother could see her on TV, hoping that might allow her to say a few more words to her.

But on the very day she signed up, she saw a female corpse kneeling on the ground in a prayer-like posture in the underground garage, and afterward, she was targeted by a pervert behind the scenes and cruelly murdered.

In his previous life, when Su Xuan read the original work, he felt great sympathy for Ruan Mengmeng's encounter.

Now, he has arrived in this world.

Although he hasn't tried to change many things, such as sitting by and watching the real Kuang Tianyou die and watching Kuang Guohua take his place.

But there are some things he doesn't mind changing.

Such as Ruan Mengmeng's death.

After all, the other party is just an insignificant minor character, and her life or death will not affect fate.

And Su Xuan didn't take action himself; he just delivered the item into Ruan Mengmeng's hands.

Whether she can grasp the opportunity to change her fate depends on the other party herself.

Soon, Su Xuan arrives at Jiajia Building.

He goes straight to a certain floor and rings the doorbell in front of a certain room.

Ding-dong!

The doorbell rings, and a rather fashionable middle-aged woman appears before Su Xuan.

"Who are you?"

Seeing Su Xuan, the woman is somewhat surprised, then assumes she has guessed the answer. "You're here to rent a room, right!"

Su Xuan does not answer this question directly, but says to the woman: "Ms. Ouyang, I am from the Heavenly Dao Group. I wonder if you have considered the matter of selling Jiajia Building?"

Hearing Su Xuan's words, the woman immediately remembers that some time ago, the famous Heavenly Dao Group in the Asia-Pacific region suddenly took the initiative to contact her, proposing to buy Jiajia Building, which she ultimately refused.

She did not expect that people from the Heavenly Dao Group would actually come to her door.

However, Ouyang Jiajia still gently explains the reason. "Sorry, sir, Jiajia Building was purchased by my husband before he passed away; it is the most important gift he gave me. Perhaps this building looks a bit old by today's standards, but it has extraordinary significance to me. I have no intention of selling it at the moment."
