Chapter 550: At least saved face

Seeing Young Master Ye, Zhang Wenfu was so excited inside.

At least his face was saved.

"Brother Ye!"

He hugged his good buddy excitedly. "Brother Ye is deeply affectionate and righteous; I will keep it in my heart."

Young Master Ye was a bit embarrassed and a bit unlucky.

Just released from prison, didn't cross a brazier, didn't wash with mugwort leaves, and came to hug him. Don't pass any bad luck to him. Annoying, he must wash with mugwort leaves a few times when he gets back. Later, he'll secretly ask someone if he should cross a brazier.

He looked around and didn't see a single Zhang family member; sure enough, he had been fooled.

He gave a dry laugh. "Congratulations to Brother Zhang on your release. Let's go, I'll send you home. You rest for two days first. When the time comes, I'll call everyone, charter a pleasure boat, and welcome you."

At this moment, he thought of his carriage, the custom-made carriage that was going to suffer. When he got back, the interior decoration of the carriage would have to be changed; bad luck.

Sure enough, he had been fooled!

Zhang Wenfu was moved to tears, grateful!

The good buddies left the Heavenly Prison together.

Chen Guanlou stood under the eaves and watched them off. "Go well, Young Master Zhang, don't enter the palace a second time."

Zhang Wenfu stumbled, didn't look back, pretended to be nonchalant, but his speed became faster and faster, unable to wait to board the carriage and start his journey home.

After they left, Mu Qingshan reminded him in a low voice, "Employer, that Young Master Ye seems to have realized he was deceived and is very unhappy."

"Unhappy? How come I didn't see it? I think he's crazy with joy. A good brother released from prison, this is such a good thing, how could he be unhappy? Don't measure a gentleman's belly with a petty person's heart."

Mu Qingshan was expressionless, listening to Chen Guanlou's serious nonsense, which didn't make his brows move at all. As a descendant of a medical family, he had seen a lot. Unless it was a big scene, he generally wouldn't show shock.

"Young Master Ye is a relative of the Marquis Prefecture's eldest branch. The student heard that since the Marquis Prefecture's Heir returned, this Young Master Ye has also benefited and been promoted."

"What exactly do you want to say?"

"Employer should be careful of pillow talk." Mu Qingshan reminded.

Chen Guanlou laughed. "You are worried that the Marquis Prefecture's eldest young mistress will blow pillow talk in the Heir's ear, and the Heir will come to find trouble with me."

"There is this possibility."

"Do you think Chen Guanfu is very idle? Do you think the Marquis Prefecture's eldest young mistress is a troublemaker? You, you don't understand the Marquis Prefecture. Put a hundred hearts at ease; even if Young Master Ye really complains, no one will pay attention to him."

Mu Qingshan didn't quite understand. As far as he knew, Young Master Ye had been living in the Marquis Prefecture for several years as a relative of the eldest young mistress's maternal family, which showed that his relationship with the Marquis Prefecture was quite good.

He was fooled by the prison guard today and got bad luck; the Marquis Prefecture's eldest branch wouldn't stand up for him?

Chen Guanlou patted Mu Qingshan's shoulder and laughed. "Remember, my surname is Chen!"

After saying that, he swayed away to patrol the prison cells.

Mu Qingshan:...

Didn't quite understand.

Could only go to ask Third Uncle Medical Official Mu.

Medical Official Mu pondered for a moment and told him, "If he were an ordinary Chen clan member, your thinking would be no problem. Young Master Ye is a noble guest of the Marquis Prefecture; the Marquis Prefecture should protect his face. However, this principle doesn't work on Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen. It doesn't matter if you can't figure it out; you just need to remember that he is a martial artist. Jumping out of the identity of a Jiang Jiang Yucheng, just based on the identity of a martial artist, who would make things difficult for him?"

"Very strong?"

"Very strong!"

"However, his rank is very vague; exactly what rank?"

"It doesn't matter what rank; being able to retreat unscathed under the blade of a ninth-rank martial artist, he has this qualification."

"I remember!" Mu Qingshan nodded heavily.

After finishing the serious business, Medical Official Mu asked him in a low voice, "How much money did you take?"

Big case bonus, Mu Qingshan caught up with it, and there was also a sum. It just happened to be the beginning of the month for salary distribution.

Mu Qingshan's face was rarely slightly flushed because he was too excited.

He swallowed subconsciously and whispered, "Fifty taels. Almost catching up to a year's salary."

"Hahaha... a mere fifty taels, look at how excited you are. Although you caught up with it, you just came after all, you are a newcomer, so you didn't take much. If you had been here for half a year or a year, for a big case like this, as a private secretary, you could take at least a hundred taels."

"So much?" Mu Qingshan clicked his tongue secretly.

"For a big case like the Zhu-surnamed prisoner, even in the Heavenly Prison, there aren't a few in a year. Most cases don't get this much money. It's just that you are lucky and caught up with it."

"I understand." Mu Qingshan vaguely felt that he had been unlucky for decades and was finally going to turn his luck around. With these fifty taels, he could rent two more bedrooms, buy a few sets of clothes, eat more meat, buy more books...

There were too many fragmented places to use money. Also need to remember to pay back the money.

Before coming to work in the Heavenly Prison, he thought it would take three or five years of savings to pay off the debt. Now it seems that within a year, he could pay off all the debts.

Master Du made money, was happy, and treated Chen Guanlou to a banquet.

Chen Guanlou happily went to the appointment, eating until the night was quiet before dispersing.

Returning home, washing and rinsing, putting the reclining chair in the courtyard, he lay on the reclining chair, closing his eyes to rest, but actually practicing the "Ascension Record".

The "Ascension Record" entered the fifth chapter, with many obscure contents that needed to be realized. Just relying on practicing blade techniques, the progress wasn't big.

Lying down and basking in the stars, meditating in silence, instead, there were gains.

He wasn't a person who could endure hardship; even if it was meditation, he had to lie down. Relaxing the whole body, meditating, realizing the creation of heaven and earth, entering a wonderful state.

After the third watch drum, it wasn't far from dawn.

There was movement outside the wall, and Chen Guanlou still closed his eyes.

After a while, sure enough, someone climbed over the wall.

Apart from Qi Wuxiu, there was no other number.

Behind him followed his apprentice Wang Wu, covered in blood, which could scare people to death in the middle of the night.

Chen Guanlou didn't open his eyes, but saw everything, saw clearly everything. Wang Wu's whole body had a surge of blood, which was the surging of the heart, the desire for bloodthirst.

Qi Wuxiu's whole body was dim, not only was his mood bad, but his cultivation had encountered a bottleneck, and it had been a long time since he had made any progress. His cultivation was stagnant, which led to great emotional fluctuations, and forcibly impacting the realm, fearing the danger of going into devilish deviation.

When the two arrived in front, Chen Guanlou opened his eyes suddenly.

Qi Wuxiu was startled. "How did you appear?"

"I have always been here."

"Nonsense. Just now there was clearly no one on the reclining chair."

Chen Guanlou:...

He didn't know what the situation was when others looked at him while practicing. He had no master to lead him into the door, no seniors to guide him, no practice guide, no problem-solving ideas, and the "Ascension Record" had no annotations or explanations. All along, he had been relying on his own exploration, relying on the longevity Dao fruit to repair his body, and surviving one life-and-death crisis after another.

If it were any ordinary person, they would have died long ago when they first came into contact with the "Ascension Record".

"You didn't see me just now?"

"You appeared suddenly, how could I see you?"

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows slightly; the fifth chapter of the "Ascension Record" is awesome. When practicing, it could actually deceive others' eyes and make people have illusions. Could it be that after practicing the fifth chapter, one could automatically acquire the stealth skill? ===== CHAPTER 551 =====
