Chapter 64: Young Master Tingyu, the Golden Scale Shuttle

Could this be the Treasure Map?

Yan Xiao held his breath, waiting quietly for what Ma Cuihua would say next.

"Young Master, this is a page of a diagram I obtained by chance. I suspect it is an item of the immortals. I cannot understand it, so I might as well give it to you, Young Master."

Taking the paper from Ma Cuihua's hand, Yan Xiao's hands trembled. The system prompted that this was indeed the Treasure Map, a route map to a Spirit Stone Mineral Vein.

"I'm rich... I'm rich..."

Yan Xiao was ecstatic inside, but he still forcibly suppressed the urge to roar and said with a straight face, "This is a Magic Technique Manual; it is very useful to me, so I will not stand on ceremony."

"Ma Yi, if you have any requests or want to receive any rewards, just say so. Within my capabilities, I will certainly satisfy you."

Yan Xiao did not stand on ceremony at all, as if afraid Ma Cuihua would go back on her word, and directly placed the Treasure Map into the System Space.

"I am all alone, and now I am nearly forty years old. I am thinking of finding a companion to spend the rest of my life with. Please, Young Master, grant this wish."

Ma Cuihua spoke slowly; it was clear she was truly a bit tired and wanted to find someone to rely on.

"Does Ma Yi have someone in mind?" Yan Xiao asked.

Luosang had a strange look on his face, not expecting Yan Xiao to act as a matchmaker.

"I like the Village Chief's eldest son, Ma Congming. When I was young, I wanted to marry him. Later, he married and had children, so I gave up that thought. Later, his wife died in childbirth while having a baby; it was quite pitiful."

"I just want to be a companion to him so that we can look after each other in our future lives. The old Village Chief is quite pedantic and certainly won't agree to our affair, so I want to beg you, Young Master, to help put in a good word."

Ma Cuihua rarely showed a shy expression, and her face flushed red when she finished speaking.

Yan Xiao checked the task background; Ma Cuihua's task was still there, and he clicked the accept button.

"Young Master, if you feel it is difficult, then forget it. I am an old woman who knows no shame; you do not need to mind."

Seeing Yan Xiao not speaking, Ma Cuihua felt even more embarrassed. She was born in a brothel and had an unsavory background; now that she had said such things, it was truly shameful.

"Ma Yi, you have misunderstood. Everyone has the right to pursue happiness. Another day, I will personally go to the old Village Chief to propose marriage. You are now the Chief Steward of my Yan Mansion, so you are worthy of his son."

Yan Xiao actually admired Ma Cuihua quite a bit and also hoped she could find her own happiness.

"Then many thanks, Master."

Ma Cuihua was overjoyed; she stopped calling him Young Master and directly called Yan Xiao Master.

"Better call me Young Master; I don't want to get old so fast."

Yan Xiao gave a wry smile and put away the Gathering Spirit Pill he had prepared. Perhaps this was the path most suitable for Ma Cuihua.

If he had given the Gathering Spirit Pill to Ma Cuihua, perhaps she would have lost more things.

"Young Master is the most handsome person I have ever seen; how could you be old?" Ma Cuihua laughed heartily.

Yan Xiao loved hearing that.

He took out the one thousand taels of Silver given by Cang Bai and said to Ma Cuihua, "Take this money; it is given privately by me. If you feel it is inconvenient to live in the Yan Mansion in the future, then take it to build a new house."

Ma Cuihua did not refuse; she took the silver and left, smiling very happily.

From the bottom of her heart, she was grateful to Yan Xiao. Here, she had received the respect she had never dared to imagine before.

"Sect Master, I didn't expect you to be so open-minded."

Luosang shook his head; if it were him, he might not have agreed to help Ma Cuihua play matchmaker.

"There is an old saying in my hometown: 'It is better to destroy ten temples than to break up one marriage.' I am happy to see lovers finally get married."

Yan Xiao laughed heartily and turned to walk out the door.

"Isn't the Sect Master from Majia Town? When did Majia Town have such an old saying?"

Luosang asked in confusion.

"Haha... oh, we forgot Liu Yu. Why hasn't he arrived yet? Nothing went wrong, did it?"

Yan Xiao suddenly thought of his disciple who was prone to shyness, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Liu Yu is a cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm. Traveling from Luoxia Mountain, he will likely suffer a bit, but self-preservation should be no problem. Sect Master, rest assured."

Luosang explained.

"Qi... Refining Realm..." Yan Xiao held his forehead; this was a miscalculation on his part.

But this is also fine; consider it training for Liu Yu.

"Is the Sect Master going to propose marriage?" Luosang teased.

"I'm going to check on their daily lives and, by the way, bring a few talents back to Luoxia Mountain."

Yan Xiao laughed heartily and tossed a jar of wine to Luosang.

Luosang took the wine, looking astonished. Didn't Yan Xiao hate him drinking? Why was he proactively giving wine today?

"Later, you will go and propose marriage to the old Village Chief. It's easier to talk when drunk, haha..."

Yan Xiao laughed loudly and left on his sword, leaving Luosang behind in a daze.

The outskirts of Luoyue City.

The land that originally belonged to the Yuhua Sect was all incorporated under Yan Xiao's name. The parts with abundant Spirit Qi were taken by the Feng Family to cultivate Spirit Herb seeds, and half was given to the old Village Chief and other hardworking old farmers to manage.

He first went to the Feng Family Medicine Garden to visit the Spirit Herbs. The Spirit Herb seedlings had just sprouted, a vast expanse of green; it looked quite spectacular. For the sake of this medicine garden, the Feng Family had put in quite a lot of effort.

"The son-in-law has arrived; why don't you hurry and pay respects to the son-in-law."

An Elder of the Feng Family had the good fortune to have seen Yan Xiao a few times, and seeing him arrive in person, he immediately went to welcome him.

"Is the son-in-law here to see the Young Lady?" the Elder asked.

"Jingting is here too?" This time it was Yan Xiao's turn to be puzzled.

"The Young Lady said this is the first batch of medicinal materials for the cooperation between the Feng Family and Luoxia Mountain and that there must be no mistakes, so she moved to the medicine garden to live so she could manage it," the Elder said slowly.

Yan Xiao knew he was saying it on purpose for him to hear, but he was still moved by Feng Jingting.

"Where is she? I will go over to see her," Yan Xiao asked.

"The Young Lady should be resting. Last night, a Spirit Rat wanted to steal and eat the Spirit Herbs, and the Young Lady didn't sleep all night," the Elder replied.

Yan Xiao nodded and looked at Luosang behind him, "You go to the old Village Chief's place first and get things settled; I will come find you later."

Luosang nodded and stepped onto his sword, departing.

The buildings in the herb garden were not simple, and it was quite comfortable to live in.

Yan Xiao pushed open the door to Feng Jingting's boudoir; Fairy Feng, who had been meditating, woke up in a start, drew her long sword, and shouted, "Who let you in?"

"Ah... Jingting greets my husband."

After seeing clearly that the person who had arrived was Yan Xiao, she immediately became flustered, and her face turned red all at once.

Yan Xiao was first startled by her, then seeing her shy expression, he couldn't help but be amused.

"Is my wife trying to murder her own husband?" Yan Xiao teased.

"No... I thought a villain had broken in, so..." Feng Jingting lowered her head, her face looking as if it were about to drip water.

"My wife has such a cute side to her; come, let your husband give you a hug."

Yan Xiao laughed heartily and couldn't help but tease her.

"No... I haven't bathed in several days."

Feng Jingting first refused, but then feeling it was inappropriate to openly contradict her own husband, she hurriedly explained.

"You've worked hard. Once the Spirit Herb matures, I will definitely refine the best Spirit Pill; I won't let your hard work go to waste."

Yan Xiao pulled Feng Jingting to the side of the bed to sit down and said gently.

"This wife believes my husband can do it."

Feng Jingting was a bit shy, but she still raised her head to face Yan Xiao and encouraged him.

What a beautiful woman, both elegant and intelligent; she was about to melt Yan Xiao's heart.

Feng Jingting was exactly the kind of unique woman whom one would like more the deeper they interacted and the more they understood her.

Yan Xiao was truly moved.

"Be natural in front of me, don't be too reserved. Although our situation is a bit absurd, I feel it is more about fate; you are destined to be my, Yan Xiao's, woman."

Yan Xiao said domineeringly, and Fairy Feng lowered her head and chuckled softly.

PS:... Begging for all kinds of support.
