Since she was six years old, she learned from Mr. Qi in the Black Star Sect how to handle the sect\'s internal affairs, how to settle accounts, and how to allocate manpower. She was quite good at these things, but this was a little too much.

There was currently a manpower shortage in the Dragon House, and many of these petitions involved applications for the city troops and building repair funds.

She really feared what would come.

In just these four days, Xiao Yunluo found at least fifty memos that maliciously reported budgets and expenses.

If she hadn\'t been helping Li Longling now, most likely all the warehouses in the Dragon House would have been emptied by those miscreants.

Although Li Feng\'s cronies were loyal to Li Longling, Xiao Yunluo calculated that they only made up less than a tenth of the Dragon House\'s guards.

Of the remaining nine-tenths, seven-tenths were honest people who did what they should do and did their jobs conscientiously.

But the remaining two-tenths were all people who wanted to embezzle the after-disaster reconstruction money.

If Li Feng were here, he would have given the order to exile those two-tenths, but Li Longling couldn\'t do it.

Her words did not weigh as much as those of a Nascent Soul cultivator like her father, and besides, the Dragon House

was already short of manpower. If more people were disposed of, it would only cause trouble.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yunluo felt helpless.

Li Longling was the orphan of her mother\'s old friend. She really wanted to help her, but she was powerless in this situation.

Xiao Yunluo put down the ink brush in her hand, lowered her head, and exhaled. "Hoo--"

Hearing her sigh, Li Longling, who was working hard on the paperwork, stopped, turned to face her, and asked, "Sister Xiao, are you tired? Go and take a rest. I should be doing these things alone, anyway. I\'m very grateful for your help."

Xiao Yunluo pursed her lips, inexplicably thinking of Feng Yu Die. Although she had said she wanted to help, Xiao Yunluo felt that she might cause trouble to her and Li Longling, and did not allow her to enter the main hall.

Right now, she was most likely in the courtyard, basking in the sun.

"If only that second idiot could do these things."

"Sister Feng?" Li Longling chuckled and said, "I don\'t think Sister Feng is stupid at all. I don\'t know why you keep calling her an idiot, Sister Xiao..."

"Well..."

When Li Longling mentioned it, Xiao Yunluo was stunned.

Come to think of it, even though Feng Yu Die was usually quite out of tune and did some inexplicable things, she was still very reliable at critical times.

Not only did she help her prevent the assassination attempt of the Ghost cultivator, but she also had the blood of the Holy Emperor and cooperated with Ye Anping to intercept the demonic cultivators. Her swordsmanship was also superb. At the time, she also ranked second in the Black Star Sect\'s entry written examination...

In these matters, the second idiot was not stupid.

But...

When did the nickname "second idiot" become popular?

Xiao Yunluo thought with a frown but soon gave up.

Anyway, "Second Idiot" was more catchy than "Sister Feng", and "Second Idiot" was already used to being called "Second Idiot" by her and Pei Lianxue.

She looked at Li Longling, pursed her lips, and finally plucked up the courage to say, "Sister Li, you might not want to hear what I\'m about to say..."

"Sister Xiao, please tell me."

"Leave the Dragon House and come with me to the Black Star

Sect. Someone will take care of you there. You alone can\'t support the Dragon House. You can\'t see, and your cultivation level is not high. Now that Master Li ascended..."

Li Longling listened silently, but her expression did not change. She shook her head.

"Sister Xiao, thank you for your kindness, but Dragon House is a family business that has been run by my father for nearly a thousand years, and there are many people in the mansion who trust me. I cannot just abandon them. In the past few days, I have also thought about whether to let go of the Dragon House, but in the end, I still couldn\'t make up my mind..."

"Then, what will you do?"

Li Longling lowered her head slightly. "I am thinking of getting married."

Xiao Yunluo was slightly surprised. "Marry? Who are you going to marry?"

Silently, Li Longling clenched her fists, bit her lip gently, then raised her head, facing Xiao Yunluo. "Sister Xiao, do you know if... Master Ye is married?"

"Ye...Ye Yeye..." Xiao Yunluo\'s eyes suddenly widened, and she stuttered for a long time. "Ye Anping?! You want to marry Ye Anping?!"

Li Longling was a little surprised by Xiao Yunluo\'s reaction. Could it be that Sister Xiao was interested in Young Master Ye? Or could it be that they were engaged?

After hesitating for a long time, she nodded. "...Well."

"You, you, you... you like Ye Anping? Haven\'t you guys only met twice?"

"Yes, Master Ye and I are indeed just friends, but..." Li Longling was even more certain in her heart that Sister Xiao probably had some sort of relationship with Master Ye, but she still spoke what she felt in her heart. "Maybe it\'s too much to say that I like him, but Master Ye gives me the feeling that he is a very good person."

"..."

"He gave me back my father\'s sword, and he was the one who allowed my father to have a dignified death. Besides, I only know one suitable member of the opposite sex, Young Master Ye. I can\'t marry my father\'s cronies, right?"

Xiao Yunluo shook her head and retorted. "But if you don\'t like Ye Anping, won\'t you regret marrying him?"

"Feelings can be cultivated in time, and I think I will like him." Li Longling lowered her head, squeezed her hands, and continued, "I\'d like to be like you, Sister Xiao, who can freely choose a husband. Maybe I could have before, but now I can\'t. If Master Ye doesn\'t want to marry me, I must find another person..."

"..."

"I still want to marry Master Ye rather than some man I have never met before."

"Then, that, that..." Xiao Yunluo hesitated. "What if I told you that Brother Ye is already married?"

"Then, I\'ll try to get him to take me as his concubine. If that doesn\'t work, I\'ll give up and marry someone else."

"And what if you could cure your eyes?"

"Well, if my eyes could heal, I wouldn\'t need to get married in such a hurry, but..."

"Then... I can ask Dr. Zhou from the Black Star Sect to treat you."

"My father has taken me to see Dr. Zhou before, but he couldn\'t do anything."

"..."

As they were talking about this, suddenly, a maid knocked at the door.

Knock knock---

"Young Lady, Miss Xiao, Yun Xi, the Young Miss of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect, and her brother are asking for an audience."

"Moon Shadow Sword Sect?"

Xiao Yunluo frowned slightly as she heard this. Why would the Young Miss of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect come here?

Li Longling also seemed to feel something was wrong. After a short hesitation, she said, "Let them in, please."

"Yes, Miss..."

The maid nodded, walked down the steps of the main hall, and soon returned with two people covered in bandages.

In front was a blond girl, about the same height as Xiao Yunluo and Li Longling, but Xiao Yunluo remembered she was already twenty-two this year. Her abilities were not outstanding, so she was only in the middle stage of the Foundation Building.

Yun Xi walked into the main hall with a frown and looked around. When she saw that Xiao Yunluo was there, she raised her eyebrows. "Oh! Sister Xiao, are you here too?! And in the Foundation Building stage as well. Long time no see..."

Xiao Yunluo took a step back and cupped her hands in salute. "Sister Yun, I hope you are fine. I wonder why you are here today?"

"Oh, right!" Yun Xi froze for a moment before coming back to her senses. She turned to look at Li Longling and said, "Sister Li, I\'m here to ask you about two people."

"Ask about two people?" Puzzled, Li Longling asked, "Who are those people you\'re looking for?"

"My little brother and sister."

Xiao Yunluo raised her eyebrows: ???

Li Longling tilted her head: ???
