Chapter 13: The Fourth Miss

  "What?"

  "Don't you like it?"

  When Lv Yang replied, the manager of Yao Yuan, as well as the many miscellaneous servants and attendants, were all startled.

  No one had expected Lv Yang to respond in such a way.

  "What's happened to Lü Yang's usual cleverness? He actually answered like that!"

  "This is terrible, now we're in for a disaster. Not liking the life of being with the spiritual medicine, isn't that saying he's dissatisfied with the arrangement made by the master? Being dissatisfied with the arrangement made by the master, isn't that treason? That's right, it's treason, this is treason!"

  "It's as if he can't bear to live, this kid. Does he think the punishment of the Ten Great Whips is too light?"

  "You really don't know how to live or die."

  The crowd is a bit **.

  It was clear that Lü Yang's response shocked them, whether they were people who cared about Lü Yang or those who didn't care and just hung around. They couldn't help but feel surprised in their hearts.

  Moreover, many people secretly wiped sweat for Lü Yang, as if they could already foresee his tragic ending.

  Especially the people who knew the identity of the white-clothed woman, such as the head of the medicine garden and the guards, all had a greenish tint to their faces. They glared at Lv Yang with hatred, hinting viciously that he should take back his words and say something more pleasant.

  However, the white-clothed woman's reaction was unexpectedly calm. She only flickered her eyes and asked: "Oh? Why?"

  "This, I don't know how to say." Lü Yang told a small lie here. In fact, he vaguely felt that replacing the Lü family's medicine cultivation didn't have a bright future, far from being as carefree as practicing martial arts and becoming a warrior.

  But these words, no matter what, cannot be spoken in front of people, and can only be buried deep in one's heart, which is different from just now.

  "Hmph, I'm not that foolish! What to say and what not to say, after being a servant for so long, reading people's faces to make a living, how could I not understand? Important people all like to smooth things over, they're used to hearing false words, empty words, big words, but occasionally they also want to change their tune, hear some true words. I'll speak my mind and say the truth, what's wrong with that? Maybe I can even give the impression of being a simple and honest person without any schemes, but if I say too much truth it becomes foolish talk. How could I possibly tell her that I don't like working for the Lü family, that I like to be carefree?"

  Lü Yang put on a humble and reserved appearance, looking like a small person who had never seen the world, so nervous that he couldn't even speak properly. But in fact, his mind was racing quickly, guessing the other's intentions, and various responses flashed through his mind.

  "You don't like farming herbs, then what's your wish?" The woman in white smiled and continued to ask, "What kind of life do you like?"

  "This little person can't say it yet." Lü Yang slightly raised his head, revealing a bewildered expression.

  "The mind is not yet open, the original heart is covered with dust, but it's a good material worth carving." The woman in white saw that he was dull and clumsy, but instead nodded slightly, showing a satisfied expression, becoming even more gentle and kind. Her words also began to take on a tone of gentle persuasion, "Lü Yang, have you ever thought that one day you could be glorious and wealthy, stand out from the crowd?"

  "Little people have never thought so much." Lü Yang hastily replied.

  "Is that so?" The woman in white smiled slightly, looking somewhat profound and mysterious. "I can see that this isn't what's really on your mind, your true thoughts aren't like this, but that doesn't matter. I don't need you to tell the truth, nor will I punish you for not telling the truth. On the contrary, I want to make use of you, let you leap to great heights and rise above the rest."

  "Let me leap over the dragon gate and become a person of great achievement? What does she mean by saying this?" Lü Yang listened with a confused expression, and just as he was about to ask for clarification, he suddenly saw her turn around and call out to the head of the Medicine Garden.

  "Golden General Manager."

  "The young master is here, does Fourth Miss have any instructions?" The manager of the Medicine Garden hastily replied with humility.

  "Is he under your control?" the woman in white asked.

  "That's right, Lü Yang, as the person in charge of the medicine garden, is indeed under Xiao Ren's management." The head of the medicine garden said.

  "That's perfect, I want to ask you for Lü Yang, don't know if you're willing to let him go?" The white-clothed woman's words were astonishing.

  "Fourth Miss has spoken, transferring this servant is just a matter of one word, of course there's no problem. Being able to catch Fourth Miss's eye is this servant's good fortune, I'm happy for him too." The head manager of the Medicine Garden looked surprised and hastily said, "Lyu Yang, you foolish kid, don't you quickly thank Fourth Miss for her appreciation? From now on, you don't need to work in the Medicine Garden anymore, just follow Fourth Miss and be a personal attendant."

  "Thank you, Director Jin, thank you, Fourth Miss." Lü Yang's heart skipped a beat as he hastily said.

  "Alright then, you go back and pack up properly, I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow."

  The woman in white smiled and left after saying a sentence.

  The white-clad woman left, and the crowd in the medicine garden ignored the majesty of the punishment hall, bursting forth with a loud noise and surrounding her.

  "Lyu Yang, you young man are going to make a name for yourself! Do you know who that person was just now? Fourth Miss, that's the fourth miss of the mansion!"

  "You've actually caught the eye of Fourth Miss, it's truly unbelievable."

  "When you become rich and prosperous in the future, don't forget about your brothers."

  Everyone was talking at once, discussing it heatedly.

  "What are you all doing, aren't you idle enough? Hurry up and get back to work!" The head of the medicine garden shouted loudly at the chaotic scene in front of him, startling everyone.

  But just as everyone was silent and waiting for his thunderous anger, they suddenly saw him turn around to face Lü Yang.

  "Come on, come on, Lü Yang, you come over here." The manager of the Medicine Garden said with a smile.

  "Director." Lü Yang walked over with some confusion.

  "You little brat, you're truly blessed with good fortune! Do you know that the one just now was the fourth miss who had killed the barbarian king's son among 600,000 troops? The fourth miss is no ordinary person, even the master of the house has openly praised her in front of people. She is the most outstanding genius among the younger generation in the entire Zhongzhou region." The manager of the medicine garden said with a mixture of admiration and jealousy, his earlier seriousness gone, replaced by a warm smile on his face.

  "What? The one just now was Fourth Miss?" Lü Yang heard the head of the Medicine Garden's words, his brain buzzing loudly, and he suddenly woke up with a start.

  He was still a bit confused just now, only knowing that he had to meet a noble person, but didn't know who this noble person was. Now he finally understood.

  He had heard years ago that the fourth young lady of the Tian Nan Lu family, whose name was Lü Yu Yao, was intelligent and studious since childhood. She started practicing martial arts at the age of five and trained hard for eight years, breaking through the Huayuan boundary to become the most outstanding talent in the entire Dahuan Dynasty, and even in the ancient land of Zhongzhou.

  Ten years ago, the master of the Lü family, Yuè Guó Gōng, led his army south to attack the Southern Wilderness. The Fourth Miss was only thirteen years old at that time and had already joined her father and brother on the battlefield, killing enemies in the front line. At fifteen, she had beheaded dozens of enemy leaders, all of whom were renowned martial arts masters, earning the respect of all the soldiers in the army. By sixteen, she had created a legendary feat by single-handedly launching a night raid on the barbarian king's son, killing him in an army of 1.6 million. She had also participated in at least hundreds of other battles, beheading and capturing countless Southern Wilderness masters, making indelible contributions to the great victory of Tiān Nán.

  At the age of twenty, Fourth Miss returned home and settled down, consolidating her martial arts experience gained from the battlefield. She digested and absorbed it, causing her martial arts skills to advance rapidly, quickly reaching the acquired tenth level.

  Such an achievement, looking at the world, few people can match her, and there are even rumors that a senior in the Xuantian Gate has exceptionally accepted her as a disciple, promising her a future of immortal cultivation and carefree longevity.
