Dugu Bo slowly sat up from his rattan chair, his gaze fixed on the doorway of the small courtyard.
Ling Yuan's figure appeared outside the small courtyard. Since the main gate was open, Ling Yuan walked straight in.
"Your Excellency, is there something you need, coming to my residence?"
Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes as he looked at Ling Yuan.
"I've come to deliver a formal invitation on behalf of my Young Miss."
Ling Yuan placed the formal invitation in front of Dugu Bo, and a fluctuation of spirit power emanated from her body.
The purpose of releasing the spirit power fluctuation was to inform Dugu Bo, who was sitting in front of her, that she, Ling Yuan, was also a Titled Douluo.
Dugu Bo looked at Ling Yuan in front of him, said nothing, but picked up the formal invitation and carefully examined it.
The content of the formal invitation was not extensive, even somewhat brief, so Dugu Bo quickly finished reading it.
"I will be here tomorrow, awaiting the arrival of your Young Miss."
Dugu Bo put down the formal invitation and lay back on the rattan chair.
Although he didn't know why the sender of the invitation wanted to see him, the sender was very courteous, and even had a Titled Douluo personally deliver the invitation. Therefore, Dugu Bo didn't mind meeting the sender of this formal invitation.
After a slight nod, Ling Yuan turned and left Dugu Bo's small courtyard, without further conversation with Dugu Bo.
After Ling Yuan left, Dugu Bo leisurely picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and savored it.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Ye Xi, who was reviewing intelligence, suddenly heard a knock at the door.
Putting down the intelligence in her hand, Ye Xi went to the door, opened it, and saw a sleepy Tian Yue standing at the entrance.
"Second Miss, where are Elder Ling Yuan and Yang Wushuang?"
"It's so early in the morning, and I haven't seen them."
Tian Yue rubbed her eyes and asked.
"My Elder sister needs Yang Wushuang's help, so I sent him to help her."
"As for Elder Ling Yuan, she went to deliver a formal invitation for me."
Ye Xi moved aside, motioning for Tian Yue to enter.
Tian Yue entered the room and sat down on a chair.
"Second Miss, is the Elder sister you mentioned the Young Lord?"
Tian Yue looked at Ye Xi and asked curiously.
"Yes."
Ye Xi picked up the intelligence again and started reading, while briefly explaining what happened last night.
"The Young Lord actually came last night!"
"Too bad I was sleeping too soundly and didn't get to see the Young Lord."
Tian Yue sighed, speaking with some regret.
"There will be opportunities in the future."
Ye Xi smiled indifferently.
Grumble, grumble~
A strange sound echoed in the room.
"Second Miss, when are we going to have breakfast?"
"I'm feeling a bit hungry."
Tian Yue rubbed her rumbling stomach, her face slightly flushed.
"The hotel provides pastries."
"You can have some pastries to tide you over for now. Once Elder Ling Yuan returns, we'll go for breakfast, and also go see the mansion that's for sale."
Ye Xi thought for a moment and said softly.
"Okay, then I'll go get some pastries."
"Second Miss, do you want some?"
Tian Yue walked to the room door and asked Ye Xi.
"Help me get some, but not too much."
Ye Xi replied.
After receiving Ye Xi's reply, Tian Yue left the room to get pastries.
Soon, Ye Xi put down the intelligence and stretched her body.
She had finished reading all the intelligence, and now she had a certain understanding of all the forces in Heaven Dou City.
Just then, Tian Yue returned with two plates of pastries. After placing one plate in front of Ye Xi, she began to eat from the other plate herself.
"Second Miss, why hasn't Elder Ling Yuan returned yet?"
Tian Yue asked while eating her pastry.
"She should be back soon."
Ye Xi picked up a pastry and checked the current time.
She realized that Elder Ling Yuan had already been gone for over an hour.
"Perhaps something delayed her on the way."
"With Elder Ling Yuan's strength, nothing will happen to her in Heaven Dou City."
Ye Xi spoke casually, without much worry.
After all, there were only a few Titled Douluo in Heaven Dou City, and with Ling Yuan's strength, it was impossible for anything to happen to her.
Tian Yue nodded, seemingly understanding, and then quietly lowered her head to eat her pastry.
Every single word, every single sentence, every single piece of content, is being carefully reviewed!
About ten minutes later, there was a knock on the room door.
Tian Yue went to open the door. As soon as she opened it, she saw Ling Yuan standing at the entrance, holding packaged breakfast.
"Second Miss."
"Young Miss Tian Yue."
"On my way back, I bought you breakfast, which is why I returned a bit late."
Ling Yuan entered the room and neatly placed the breakfast she was holding on the table.
"Thank you, Elder Ling Yuan."
"Elder Ling Yuan, please come and eat with us. After we finish, we'll go inspect the mansion that's for sale."
Ye Xi and Tian Yue sat down at the table and motioned for Ling Yuan to join them for breakfast.
"Alright."
Ling Yuan agreed and sat down to eat breakfast with Ye Xi and Tian Yue.
Breakfast was quickly finished, and the three left the hotel, heading towards the mansion that was for sale.
Upon arriving at the mansion, Ye Xi nodded in satisfaction, looking at the grand gate and the bustling street.
"The location of this mansion is quite good."
As Ye Xi's words fell, Ling Yuan reached out and knocked on the main gate.
A moment later, the mansion's gate opened, and a middle-aged man walked out.
"And you are?"
The middle-aged man looked at Ye Xi, Tian Yue, and Ling Yuan, a hint of confusion 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 a welcoming gesture, inviting Ye Xi and the others to enter the mansion.
After Ye Xi and the others entered the mansion, the middle-aged man led the way, explaining the various features of the estate.
During their conversation, Ye Xi learned that the middle-aged man's name was Yun Jin, an ordinary wealthy merchant in Heaven Dou City.
"How about it? This mansion of mine, whether it's the location or the environment, is excellent."
"If you're interested in buying, I can offer you a better price."
"However…"
As Yun Jin spoke, his eyes flickered, as if he had something difficult to say.
"However what?"
Ye Xi surveyed the mansion's surroundings, asking indifferently.
She was very satisfied with this mansion; if there weren't any major issues, she planned to buy it.
"However, if you buy this mansion, you might encounter some trouble."
"To be honest, I offended someone in Heaven Dou City whom I couldn't afford to offend, which is why I'm planning to sell this mansion and leave Heaven Dou City."
Yun Jin sighed, his tone filled with helplessness.
Upon hearing Yun Jin's words, Ye Xi couldn't help but frown slightly and look towards Yun Jin.
