Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 154

Chapter 154: You Are Overthinking
After Xie Yanghui agreed, Xuan Ruiquan looked at the dark sky and said, “Biao Ge, I should go now. We don’t have much time. I will leave my secret guards to protect you. If there is any emergency, please tell Jian Yi. He will contact me.”

Emperor Yong’an and Xie Yanghui followed his line of sight and looked at the sky through the verandah door.

Seeing the dark thundercloud getting thicker and closer, Emperor Yong’an nodded and said, “A Quan, you must be careful. It doesn’t matter if you can’t find the source of the calamity, but you must protect yourself.”

Xuan Ruiquan glanced at Emperor Yong’an and said, “You are overthinking. I won’t die before marrying her.”

As soon as these words came out, Xuan Ruiquan activated his lightness skill and left the imperial study. Emperor Yong’an looked at the space where his younger cousin had just stood, touched his ears, and said doubtfully, “Shifu, I think there is something wrong with my ears. Can you help me take a look?”

Xie Yanghui looked at his silly disciple, rolled his eyes, and thought curiously, ‘I wonder who that young lady is? She can even make that iceberg want to get married.’

After leaving the imperial palace, Xuan Ruiquan returned to Dali Si. Seeing that his Master was back, Jian Er said, “Master, welcome back. This is the result of the investigation of the activities of Duan Qinwang and Rui Qinwang these days.”

Xuan Ruiquan took the report and read it for a while, then said, “Duan Qinwang does have the intention to rebel. However, Duan Qinwang is too reckless and dumb to be able to plan everything by himself. Someone must help him from behind.”

After a moment of silence, Xuan Ruiquan added, “Send more people to Rui Qinwang. Monitor his every move and notify me if he meets anyone.”

Jian Er nodded and said, “Yes, Master.”

When the two of them walked to Xuan Ruiquan’s office, Jian Er asked, “Master, are you alright? It seems that you are very anxious.”

Xuan Ruiquan was not surprised when he heard Jian Er’s question. Jian Er’s main task is to support and serve him, so it was normal for Jian Er to guess that he was anxious.

Arriving at his office, Xuan Ruiquan sorted out the messy documents on the table. He divided them into three piles and said, “The right one needs to be dealt with immediately. The middle one is given to Jian San and Jian Si, and the left one is given to Jian Yi.”

Jian Er looked at his Master’s tired face and asked, “Master, are you going somewhere?”

“I’m going to the north. His Majesty gave me an urgent task. I will set off today.” Xuan Ruiquan replied while changing clothes.

When he grabbed the sword and was about to leave, Jian Er asked again, “Master, who are you bringing with you this time?”

Hearing his question, Xuan Ruiquan paused and said, “I will go alone this time.”

As soon as these words came out, Jian Er was stunned and said hurriedly, “Master, you–”

Before Jian Er could finish his words, Xuan Ruiquan had already disappeared. Jian Er was dumbfounded when he saw how fast his Master could be when he was in a hurry. While Xuan Ruiquan was on his way to the north, Duan Yixin and the workers were still busy digging trenches on the farm.

After digging the last trench, Duan Yixin looked up at the sky and frowned. Looking at the dark thunderclouds above her head, Duan Yixin said, “It’s going to rain soon. Let’s go home before it rains.”

Ji Hongwei heard this and said, “Elder Sister Yixin, we still have to clean up the weeds today.”

Looking at the looming dark clouds and the lightning that occasionally covered the sky, Duan Yixin had a bad premonition. She shook her head and said, “No. Clear the trenches and return home. It’s not safe to work in the fields when it rains and thunders. If you stay, your life could be in danger.”

Seeing her frown, Ji Hongwei and others exchanged looks. Since the employer had said so, they could only follow her orders as employees. The five people quickly cleared away the soil from the ditch and piled it next to the shed.

When they were done, Duan Yixin took out the money pouch from her sleeve pocket and paid them their wages. She added twenty copper coins to everyone and said, “Thank you for your hard work today. Go home before it rains.”

After receiving their wages and saying goodbye, Ji Hongwei and others left the farmland. Just as Duan Yixin went to put the wooden bucket containing the nutrient solution into her warehouse, the first drop of rain fell from the sky.

Drip… Drip… Drip…

Seeing the rain getting heavier, Duan Yixin hurriedly left the farmland and returned home. Before she even got home, the rain started pouring like someone had unzipped the sky. When she arrived, Duan Yixin was soaked to the skin and shivering with cold.

As soon as she walked into the front yard, she saw Liushiliu walking out from the house holding an oil-paper umbrella. Seeing her soaked body, Liushiliu quickly looked away and used an umbrella to protect her from the rain.

“Miss Duan, I have boiled water for you. Hurry up and take a hot bath so you don’t catch a cold,” He said calmly, without looking at her.

Duan Yixin nodded and said while shivering, “Thank you, Liushiliu.”

After sending her home, Liushiliu held an umbrella and went to the kitchen to bring her hot water. Due to the heavy rain, Duan Yixin did not go to the bathroom but chose to take a shower in her bedroom.

Outside of the house, the wind was strong, and the rain was pouring. If she is unlucky, the wind might blow away the bathroom while she is taking a shower. If that happens, she would be too embarrassed to live.
