After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 599 Mutual Trust

"Are you feeling very resentful?" At this moment, a man in white robes came to Yan Mingyu's side.

Yan Mingyu stood up and said, "Father, I don't understand why. I've prepared for so long to become the Ming Pavilion of Dan Ding City, but in the eyes of the Deputy Pavilion Master, I'm no better than a greenhorn."

Not all efforts will be recognized, and fate will not favor you just because you are prepared. Personal gains and losses must always be subordinate to the interests of the family.

That child's talent far surpasses Qian Zengming's, and he has already established himself in Danding City. As long as he follows Qian Zengming's path, he will not make any major mistakes.

Therefore, the family has accepted this matter, and the family's focus now is on helping Zihuai become the Chief Mirror Envoy of Dancheng.

The child's opinion is very important in this matter.

You may go to serve in the Ming Pavilion outside the clan, or you may continue to improve your cultivation within the clan, but you must no longer interfere in the affairs of Dan City at will.

I have summoned Zihuai back to the clan from 'Juanyuntai', and she will soon be heading to Dancheng.

As her father, I think she probably wanted to see you one last time before she left.

Hearing the man's words, Yan Mingyu was filled with resentment and unwillingness.

The building cannot allow the Ming Pavilion of Dan City and the Mirror Master to be from the same clan. In other words, if Zi Huai becomes the Mirror Master, he will never be able to become the Ming Pavilion of Dan City.

"Greetings, Father!" In the magnificent hall, a woman in purple with a cool and aloof demeanor bowed to the side, her movements flawless.

Looking at his somewhat unfamiliar daughter, Yan Mingyu couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Because he had been working away from home for a long time, he had spent very little time with his daughter and had almost never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father.

"Zihuai, there's no need to be so polite at home," Yan Mingyu said with a smile.

“My father taught me from a young age that I should also observe proper etiquette at home,” Yan Zihuai said calmly.

Yan Mingyu's smile froze instantly. "Then at least you should sit down and talk to me!"

"Thank you, Father!" Yan Zihuai bowed again.

"Are you expressing your dissatisfaction with me?" Yan Mingyu slammed his hand on the table angrily; he was already in a bad mood.

"My daughter doesn't dare."

You wouldn't dare!

I think you've grown too big for your britches. You're not even the Chief Mirror of Dan City yet, and you dare to treat me like this.

I can't even imagine what you'd dare do to me after you become the Mirror Master!

"My daughter will not become the Mirror Master of Dan City."

"You're going to drive me crazy! The family worked so hard to get this opportunity for you."

"What kind of attitude is this! Are you abandoning the interests of the family?" Yan Mingyu said coldly.

"I will not become the Chief Mirror of Dan City, because I will help my father become the Bright Pavilion Master of Dan City," Yan Zihuai said calmly.

……

Dan Ding City, Feng Family Pharmacy.

When Shen Xu woke up in the study, it was already the early hours of the next day.

The drowsy feeling was very uncomfortable, and he was extremely thirsty. After taking a few big gulps of tea from the teapot on the table, he finally felt that his body belonged to him again.

Feeling the weakness in his soul, Shen Xu regretted not asking the goddess for some elixirs to accelerate his recovery.

That's a bit of a loss!

At this moment, Shen Xu suddenly realized that the place he was in seemed to be a pharmacy.

So he wrote a note and put it in the drawer. To his surprise, Chi Xiaorou quickly gave him an answer.

"Is this girl still awake? Or did she wake up early?" Shen Xu asked, somewhat puzzled.

Upon seeing the contents of the note, Shen Xu couldn't help but sigh that his brain had truly rusted.

He is currently in Dan City, where finding elixirs to nourish the soul is far more effective than finding medicinal herbs.

Looking at the various pills listed on the note, Shen Xu decided to buy a few and try them out after dawn.

Just then, a soft knock came from the door.

"Please come in!" At this hour, the only person who would come to see him is Chi Xiaorou.

When Shen Xu finally saw Chi Xiaorou again after so many days, he suddenly felt that the girl seemed even more haggard.

Her dark circles were even more pronounced, and her beautiful face had a subtle sense of fragility.

"Xiaorou, is there something you need from me?"

"I...I want to apologize to you." Chi Xiaorou clenched her hands, clearly finding the decision difficult.

Shen Xu smiled and said, "It's all in the past, and besides, you don't know anything about it."

I know this opportunity is very important to you. I'm just a worthless person; if I lose the gamble, I can always go back to Green Bamboo City to retire.

But you are not just yourself; you have your family behind you, and the expectations of countless people. In that situation, staying out of trouble was the best option for you.

“No…” There seemed to be tears welling up in Chi Xiaorou’s eyes.

"I made a mistake before, and I hope you can give me another chance. I will never let you down again." Chi Xiaorou looked at him with a determined gaze.

"I don't think I said I wouldn't cooperate with you. The dossier I wrote went through your hands, and besides, whether I can stay in Dan Ding City is still uncertain."

Shen Xu felt somewhat helpless, as if girls' hearts were naturally more sensitive.

"You said you don't trust me!"

Chi Xiaorou seemed to care a lot about what he said.

"Well... we've only known each other for a few days, saying I trust you would be deceiving you!"

I'm not talking about personal trust.

"I have to report work-related matters to headquarters, so I can't hide anything from you, can I?" Shen Xu said thoughtfully.

"You did not hide anything from me, but you also hid everything from me."

I hope that you can discuss things with me before making any major decisions in the future, instead of just presenting the results to me all at once.

That would not only make me feel useless, but it would also violate the rules of Fengyulou.

The Ming Pavilion and the Chief Mirror must trust each other, and both must agree on major decisions. You cannot make decisions alone without my consent.

The position of the Mirror Keeper in Fengyu Tower is not just a mouthpiece. I am your closest partner in your work. I can help you with many things and find a lot of information and cases for your reference.

Finally... I promise that from now on I will never let you face the difficulties of the outside world alone again.

But please don't abandon me, okay?

Chi Xiaorou's bloodshot eyes were filled with seriousness.

Seeing Chi Xiaorou's resolute gaze, Shen Xu smiled helplessly, "Since you insist so much, and the organization has its rules, how could I refuse?"

And I remember Old Qian saying something similar to me.

At this point, Shen Xu left his seat and came to Chi Xiaorou's side. "You need to rest well. Since you trust me, believe that I am capable of handling today's affairs."

Also, thank you so much, Miss, for handling the pharmacy matter yesterday. Go get some sleep; leave the rest to me.

After saying that, he pushed open the door and went out.
