Dugu Bo Receives a Visit Card

Dugu Bo gradually sat up from the rattan chair, his gaze quietly fixed on the door outside the small courtyard.

Ling Yuan appeared outside the courtyard. Since its gate was left open, she walked straight in.

"Sir, is there something you need from me by coming to my residence?"

Dugu Bo looked at Ling Yuan before him, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"I am here on behalf of my Young Lady to deliver a Visit Card."

Ling Yuan placed the Visit Card in front of Dugu Bo, and a ripple of Soul Power emerged from her body.

The purpose of releasing that aura of Soul Power was to tell the seated Dugu Bo that she, Ling Yuan, was also a Titled Douluo.

Dugu Bo looked at Ling Yuan before him but said nothing. Instead, he picked up the Visit Card and examined it carefully.

There was not much written on the Visit Card; it was even rather brief. Dugu Bo finished reading it very quickly.

"I will wait here tomorrow for your Young Lady's arrival."

Dugu Bo set down the Visit Card and reclined in the rattan chair once more.

Although he did not know why the owner of the Visit Card wished to meet him, her etiquette was thorough, and she had even sent a Titled Douluo personally to deliver it. Thus, Dugu Bo did not mind meeting its owner.

Ling Yuan nodded lightly, then turned and left Dugu Bo's small courtyard without further conversation.

After Ling Yuan left, Dugu Bo picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and savored it.

Elsewhere.

Ye Xi, who was reading through Intelligence, suddenly heard a knock at the door.

Setting down the Intelligence in her hands, Ye Xi walked to the door and opened it. Tian Yao stood outside, her eyes still bleary with sleep.

"Second Young Lady, where are Ling Yuan Elder and Yang Wushuang?"

"It's so early in the morning. How come I haven't seen either of them?"

Tian Yao rubbed her eyes as she asked.

"My sister needed Yang Wushuang's help, so I sent him over."

"Ling Yuan Elder went to deliver a Visit Card for me."

Ye Xi stepped aside and gestured for Tian Yao to enter.

Tian Yao entered the room and sat down in one of its chairs.

"Second Young Lady, is the sister you mentioned the Young Master?"

Tian Yao looked at Ye Xi and asked curiously.

"Yes."

Ye Xi picked up the Intelligence again and continued reading, briefly explaining what had happened the night before.

"The Young Master actually came last night!"

"Too bad I was sleeping so soundly that I didn't get to see the Young Master."

Tian Yao sighed, speaking with some regret.

"There will be opportunities in the future."

Ye Xi smiled indifferently.

Grrrr~

A strange sound rang out in the room.

"Second Young Lady, when are we going to have breakfast?"

"I'm starting to feel hungry."

Tian Yao rubbed her rumbling stomach, her face reddening slightly.

"The Hotel provides Pastries."

"Have some Pastries to tide yourself over first. Once Ling Yuan Elder returns, we'll go have breakfast and take a look at the Mansion that's up for sale."

Ye Xi thought for a moment before speaking softly.

"Alright, I'll go get some Pastries."

"Second Young Lady, do you want any?"

Tian Yao walked to the room's door and asked Ye Xi.

"Bring me some too, but not too much."

Ye Xi replied.

After receiving Ye Xi's answer, Tian Yao left the room to get the Pastries.

Before long, Ye Xi set down the Intelligence and stretched her waist.

She had finished reading all the Intelligence. She now had a certain understanding of every force within Heaven Dou City.

Just then, Tian Yao returned carrying two plates of Pastries. After placing one in front of Ye Xi, she began eating from the other.

"Second Young Lady, why hasn't Ling Yuan Elder returned yet?"

Tian Yao asked while eating Pastries.

"She should be back soon."

Ye Xi picked up a piece of pastry and checked the time.

She discovered that Ling Yuan Elder had been gone for more than an hour.

"Perhaps something delayed her on the way."

"With Ling Yuan Elder's strength, nothing could happen to her in Heaven Dou City."

Ye Xi spoke casually, without much concern.

After all, there were only a few Titled Douluo in Heaven Dou City. With Ling Yuan's strength, nothing could possibly happen to her.

Tian Yao nodded as though she understood, then silently lowered her head and continued eating Pastries.

About ten minutes later, someone knocked on the room's door.

Tian Yao went to answer it. The moment she opened the door, she saw Ling Yuan standing outside with packed breakfast in hand.

"Second Young Lady."

"Miss Tian Yao."

"On my way back, I bought breakfast for you two, so I returned a little late."

Ling Yuan entered the room and neatly arranged the breakfast she carried on the table.

"Sorry for troubling you, Ling Yuan Elder."

"Ling Yuan Elder, come eat with us too. After we finish, we'll head to the Mansion for sale and take a look."

Ye Xi and Tian Yao sat down at the table and invited Ling Yuan to join them.

"Alright."

Ling Yuan agreed and sat down to eat breakfast with Ye Xi and Tian Yao.

They quickly finished breakfast, then the three left the Hotel and headed toward the Mansion for sale.

Arriving before the Mansion, Ye Xi looked at its gate and the bustling street outside, then nodded in satisfaction.

"This Mansion is in a good location."

As soon as Ye Xi finished speaking, Ling Yuan reached out and knocked on the gate.

Not long afterward, the Mansion's gate opened, and a middle-aged man walked out.

"You are?"

The middle-aged man looked at Ye Xi, Tian Yao, and Ling Yuan, confusion appearing in his eyes.

"Hello, are you selling this Mansion?"

Ye Xi looked at the middle-aged man and asked softly.

"Yes. Please come in. I'll show you around."

The middle-aged man made an inviting gesture, signaling for Ye Xi and the others to enter the Mansion.

After Ye Xi and the others entered, the middle-aged man led the way and explained the various details of the Mansion.

Through their conversation, Ye Xi learned that the middle-aged man was named Yun Jin, an ordinary wealthy merchant in Heaven Dou City.

"How is it? My Mansion is excellent, whether in terms of location or surroundings."

"If you wish to buy it, I can lower the price somewhat."

"Only..."

As Yun Jin spoke, his gaze began to shift evasively, as though he had something difficult to say.

"Only what?"

Ye Xi surveyed the Mansion's surroundings and asked somewhat casually.

She was very satisfied with the Mansion. If there were no major issues, she intended to buy it.

"Only, after you buy this Mansion, you may run into some trouble."

"To be honest, I offended someone in Heaven Dou City whom I cannot afford to offend. That is why I intend to sell the Mansion and leave Heaven Dou City."

Yun Jin sighed, his tone filled with helplessness.

Upon hearing Yun Jin's words, Ye Xi could not help frowning slightly as she turned her gaze toward him.
