Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Immediately afterward, An Wang added: "For missions like this, normally the people below will write out the full circumstances and the character of both parties involved. If you think this person truly deserves to die, then there's no need to hesitate;

but if you feel there's some hidden story or that they shouldn't be killed, then you cannot act rashly. Our Anqi are all elites who have undergone strict training; each possesses extraordinary skills, their assassination arts are first-rate, and fighting ten against one is no problem. Even if they are unfortunately captured after failing, they will certainly keep the secret, willing to sacrifice themselves rather than betray the person who put out the bounty.

The Anqi who take on a mission, after successfully completing it, can receive a full eighty percent of the bounty! The remaining twenty percent is taken by us, used as the funds needed to operate and maintain this mysterious and powerful Dark Guard Camp. Hearing this, Qianqian blinked her lively big eyes, indicating she fully understood the rules.

At this time, An Wang continued: "Today I brought you here precisely so you could see with your own eyes how these bounty missions actually work. From now on, all related letters will be delivered directly to your room by the Anqi. Of course, if one night you still want to sleep with Shuang'er, then whenever you have free time during the day, you can go to your study in Qianji Yuan and properly handle these important letters." After saying this, he looked at Qianqian full of anticipation.

Qianqian nodded obediently in response, indicating she already knew how to act. Seeing this, An Wang smiled with satisfaction, then continued to instruct: "You, first focus on handling these letters for a while. Once you can handle the whole process skillfully, I will naturally teach you more advanced techniques and knowledge."

Hearing her father's teachings, Qianqian quickly replied: "Daughter remembers, Father, don't worry!" Seeing this, An Wang said nothing more, and the two returned together to An Wangfu. In the afternoon, sunlight filtered through the clouds, casting soft light, and a gentle breeze brushed the leaves, making rustling sounds. Yan Si and Shangguan Xingyan walked side by side, heading together toward An Wang's study.

Arriving before the study door, Yan Si stopped and raised his hand to knock lightly. "Dong dong dong," the knocking echoed in the quiet corridor. After a moment, An Wang's steady and slightly majestic voice came from inside: "Come in."

After receiving permission, Yan Si slowly pushed open the door, and Shangguan Xingyan followed closely behind him into the study. As soon as he stepped into the room, Yan Si eagerly shouted: "Father!" At the same time, Shangguan Xingyan bowed slightly and said softly: "An Wang."

An Wang was sitting at the desk carefully reading the book in his hands. Hearing their calls, he put down the book, raised his head, gazed at them with gentle eyes, a faint smile on his lips, then said: "Come, sit down quickly." Saying this, he gestured with his hand toward the neatly arranged chairs on both sides of the desk.

Yan Si and Shangguan Xingyan did as told, walking to the chairs and sitting down respectively. After they were seated, An Wang then asked: "Why did the two of you come together today? Did you run into some problem that needs my help?"

Yan Si quickly replied: "Father, it's not like that. Xingyan and I went out today to select a site, and we found a good place; we want you to give us your opinion."

An Wang nodded with interest and asked: "Oh? Where is it? Tell me."

Yan Si straightened slightly and replied: "It's on Changning Avenue. There was originally a shop called Zhanxian Restaurant there, now available for rent. Xingyan and I both feel that location is quite ideal, so we plan to buy it." He then added: "Moreover, the Zui Xian Lou I run is also on this street, and business has always been booming. I suppose precisely because of this, Zhanxian Restaurant's business has been affected, making it hard to continue, so they chose to transfer the shop."

After hearing Yan Si's explanation, An Wang pondered for a moment, then said: "Hmm, Changning Avenue is indeed a bustling place with heavy foot traffic and a strong commercial atmosphere. If a shop can be opened here, the prospects should be promising."

Yan Si said, then I'll take over the shop, An Wang said it's fine, you have some business talent, from now on you can decide these matters yourself, no need to ask my opinion anymore, unless you can't make up your mind, then come find me again. Yan Si said he understood, Father. Then the two left the study.

Time flew by like a white horse passing through a gap; in the blink of an eye, three days passed. During these short three days, Yan Si was busy without stopping. He not only successfully finalized the shop's location, but also carefully conceived and determined a unique renovation style. Then, he energetically found reliable workers and quickly arranged for them to start construction. According to the current progress, the entire project is expected to be completed in about ten days.

At the same time, after careful consideration, Yan Si and Shangguan Xingyan decided to return together to Dongying Guo. After all, before the shop officially opened, goods had to be prepared and delivered in place.

Therefore, before setting out, they had one important task to complete urgently: select goods from Dachang Kingdom and ensure they could be safely and promptly delivered to Dongying Guo.

Today, Yan Si and Shangguan Xingyan went together to the shops under Yan Si. It turned out Yan Si operated a full three jewelry shops under him! They carefully selected exquisite styles in these shops, specifically choosing expensive styles favored by noble families.

However, considering transporting these finished jewelry items over a long distance would consume a large amount of manpower and resources, Yan Si had a sudden inspiration and came up with a more clever method: directly bring the design drawings and skilled artisans to Dongying Guo together.

This way, transportation costs would be saved, and they could guarantee making jewelry to suit customers' tastes locally according to actual needs at any time.

Thus, after strict selection, Yan Si finally chose five artisans without family ties who were willing to work long-term in Dongying Guo. After all preparations were ready, Yan Si and Shangguan Xingyan led these five highly skilled artisans, full of anticipation, and set out on the journey to Dongying Guo.

As for Shangguan Xingyu, since the journey was quite far and all companions were men, it was truly inconvenient. Furthermore, Shangguan Xingyan still needed to return to Dachang Kingdom again, so after careful consideration, Shangguan Xingyu decided not to return for now, to wait peacefully for Shangguan Xingyan's return, and then the two would return to Dongying Guo together.

Thus, Shangguan Xingyu temporarily stayed in An Wangfu. Usually, she often went out with Yan Xiner, strolling around. Either weaving through the bustling streets and alleys, feeling the noise of people coming and going; or stopping before shops full of dazzling goods, choosing items she liked;

Or strolling in the picturesque gardens, admiring the beautiful scenery of red flowers and green willows, orioles singing and swallows dancing. This leisurely time also made her friendship with Yan Xiner grow deeper.
