"What do you mean?" When he saw Yu Qianxue, Zhu Yifeng's expression changed.
"Long Chen isn't your sparring partner, he's mine." Yu Qianxue said coldly.
"You want to compete with me for the big brother?" Hmph, it's useless. I've already signed the paperwork and got ahead of it. Zhu Yifeng snorted coldly, speaking while waving his documents, looking as if victory was in his grasp.
"Take a closer look at that document—who exactly is writing it?" Yu Qianxue said.
Zhu Yifeng was stunned and hurriedly looked at the document. Long Chen also looked at the document, where Yu Qianxue's name was clearly written, not Zhu Yifeng's.
"What are you doing?" Long Chen was dumbfounded, looking at Zhu Yifeng. How could you really get this wrong?
"I ...," Zhu Yifeng was both shocked and angry. He didn't believe the document, but it did indeed state Yu Qianxue.
"Long Chen, from today on, you're my sparring partner. I'll train with you well." Yu Qianxue walked up to Long Chen, looked into his eyes, and said meaningfully.
Long Chen couldn't help but glance at the elderly host. When Long Chen looked at him, he instinctively turned his face away. With that gesture, Long Chen understood.
The old man had been bribed by Yu Qianxue, and Zhu Yifeng's documents were swapped by him. Since Long Chen was there and thought he could handle everything, he didn't even look at the documents and signed them directly.
Damn, Long Chen was speechless. He hadn't expected that after being shrewd all his life, he would accidentally sign a servitude contract—and for three years.
Long Chen took the document from Zhu Yifeng's hand and finally noticed the densely packed small characters on it—binding both sides. Yu Qianxue's name was prominently displayed in the most prominent spot, and he hadn't seen it.
"Of course, you can also tear up the documents directly, but tearing them up means you have no spirit of the contract. I believe you wouldn't do that, right?" Yu Qianxue looked at Long Chen, a faint smile playing at the corner of her mouth.
Long Chen looked at Yu Qianxue, a smile on his face: "Of course I, Long Chen, wouldn't stoop to doing that. Don't worry." After
Long Chen finished speaking, he handed the document to Yu Qianxue. Yu Qianxue extended her jade-like hand, put it away, and looked at Long Chen without saying a word.
"Big brother, I'm sorry!"
Zhu Yifeng was outmaneuvered, so ashamed he wished he could slap himself twice.
"Alright, this is my fault too. Since things have come to this, there's no need to complain." Long Chen said calmly, realizing that this matter couldn't be blamed solely on Zhu Yifeng.
"Snap!" Suddenly,
a streak of light shot toward Long Chen. Long Chen reached out his large hand and caught the streak—it was a nameplate. At the same time, Yu Qianxue's voice came from afar:
"From today onward, you belong to me. My princess's residence is your home. Come report to my residence within three days."
After Yu Qianxue finished speaking, she left with all the guards. She handled her work efficiently and decisively, exuding the aura of a woman who rivals men.
Long Chen knew that what Yu Qianxue wanted wasn't him as a sparring partner, but rather to gradually recruit him into her ranks.
This woman knew perfectly well that he was after Qingxuan, yet she still dared to do this. No one knew what she meant—could it be that she was deliberately trying to humiliate Yu Qingxuan?
"Big brother..."
Zhu Yifeng said with deep embarrassment.
Long Chen patted Zhu Yifeng on the shoulder to comfort him, "It's a small matter. Even if we sign the paperwork, it doesn't mean I'm selling myself to her. She's just a woman, what's there to be afraid of?" "
Long Chen"
Suddenly, a friendly call rang out. Long Chen saw Yu Qingxuan, dressed in a white dress and dress, walking over with a sweet smile on his face.
"Qingxuan, you actually came out." Long Chen was both surprised and delighted when he saw Yu Qingxuan.
"Yifeng greets Sister Qingxuan." Seeing Yu Qingxuan arrive, Zhu Yifeng hurriedly saluted.
"Yifeng, you're here too!" Seeing Zhu Yifeng, Yu Qingxuan was a bit surprised.
"Well, it's a long story. I have something to do, so I'll take my leave now." Zhu Yifeng was still a bit tactful, knowing he should avoid it now.
He had messed up everything today and didn't have the face to stay here. Since Yu Qingxuan had just arrived, he could find an excuse to slip away.
"Qingxuan, why are you out? Still alone. Long Chen said excitedly, feeling that those annoying eunuchs were gone.
"Hehe, there are many rules and a lot of homework in the palace, but they also give us some free time. Today, I can play all day." Yu Qingxuan laughed, feeling as happy as a child at this moment.
"Haha, then let's get together. This is Vermilion Bird City, and Your Highness the Princess is the host. Show me the customs and culture of the Vermilion Bird Imperial Capital!" Long Chen said with a smile.
"Mm-hmm, I'll take you to try the most famous snacks in the Vermilion Bird Empire, the most beautiful scenery, and explore the liveliest bookish street." Yu Qingxuan giggled and pulled Long Chen toward a teleportation array.
At this time, Yu Qingxuan was dressed as a commoner and wore no royal tokens. She could not enjoy any royal privileges, and of course, royal rules could not restrain her.
She pulled Long Chen aside and acted as a tour guide, introducing him to the customs and cultural relics of the ancient city, and letting him taste all kinds of delicacies. It must be said, the Vermilion Bird Empire has a profound heritage; many places have historical stories and special origins, leaving Long Chen in awe.
"Long Chen, you're great at bargaining. I want to buy a hairpin—can you help me bargain?" As she passed by a jewelry store, Yu Qingxuan secretly pointed to the pearl flowers inside and said to Long Chen.
Long Chen knew that Yu Qingxuan wasn't worried about money, nor was she afraid of being ripped off. She probably just recalled the scene of Long Chen haggling when he set up his stall in Ziyan Tiandu, and found it amusing.
"Boss, how much do you sell these pearl flowers?" Long Chen got straight to the point.
"Wow, young master, you really have a good eye. This is our shop's treasure..." The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw Long Chen, his face full of admiration.
"Alright, alright, just say how much less you want to sell, okay?"
"You seem to be a straightforward person. Are you here to give this to my wife?" That way, I won't play the virtual game. This is at least 3,000, and I can't take it without a single coin. The shopkeeper said seriously.
"Eighty."
"What?" You're joking, this is absolutely not going to be taken. The old man's expression turned somewhat grim.
Seeing this, Long Chen said nothing, grabbed Yu Qingxuan, and turned to leave. The boss hurriedly said, "
Alright, alright, I'm afraid of you. Please take one!"
Yu Qingxuan almost burst out laughing. Long Chen's bargain was really shocking, but this shopkeeper really dared to take it.
"Here, give me some money!" After Yu Qingxuan picked out a hairpin from more than a dozen identical styles, Long Chen paid the shopkeeper a silver coin engraved with the number one hundred.
The shopkeeper took it and glanced at it, his eyes darting as he said, "This is too much money. I don't have change for you. Please pick another hairpin and take it away." "
Pfft"
Long Chen nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.
