#434 - Distant relative?

At the hour of Xu (7-9 PM), Wei Changtian left the General Commander's mansion.

On the way back, his face remained troubled, as if he was worried about something.

Now, Liang Qin's knot in her heart had been untied, but...

He had previously promised Li Wutong that he would marry her the next time they met.

He had also promised Qingxian that he would marry Yang Liushi as soon as possible.

Now, with the addition of Liang Qin.

Good heavens, the burden on his shoulders was heavy!

Forget it, he'd deal with it after the war was over.

Right now, the imperial army was about to arrive, and he had a few things to take care of before going to Guanghan.

Among these, the most important was undoubtedly Shen Ran.

Hmm? That's right.

Speaking of which, it's been two days already, why haven't he and Gui Peian come to find him yet?

That's not right.

The next day.

As rustling sounds echoed in his ears, when Wei Changtian opened his eyes in the morning sunlight, Xu Qingwan was already dressed and sitting at the dressing table, combing her hair.

"You're awake?"

Turning her head to look at Wei Changtian, Little Xu temporarily abandoned her half-combed hair and got up to place his clothes on the bedside.

"Hurry up and get up, Young Master Chu came over early in the morning."

Hmm? Chu Xianping is here?

"Okay."

"Heh~ Isn't there still Wei Yan Yu?"

Wei Changtian yawned: "She originally knew more about doing business, just let her worry more about it."

"You can't rely entirely on Madam Wei."

The moment Wei Yanyu was mentioned, Xu Qingwan instantly perked up: "Changtian, let me tell you, Madam Wei is really amazing!"

"."

For the next half an hour, Little Xu rambled on and on about Wei Yanyu's good qualities, constantly saying that she had learned a lot of business skills from the latter.

It was normal for a little money-grubber to develop admiration for a rich woman, so Wei Changtian let her talk, at most muttering in his heart—

Great, now Xu Qingwan is going further and further down the road of 'abandoning martial arts for business'.

"In short, just don't tire yourself out."

Putting on his boots, Wei Changtian smiled and patted Little Xu's head: "Do you know what the most painful thing in life is?"

"It's that when a person dies, they haven't finished spending their money."

"Therefore, health is the most important thing!"

"Revolution?"

Xu Qingwan obviously didn't quite understand the last sentence, but it didn't prevent her from understanding Wei Changtian's meaning.

"Pah, pah, pah! How can you curse people like that!"

She smiled and hit Wei Changtian, reaching out to smooth out his robe: "It's you who must remember to take care of your health."

"The war is about to start, although I don't know what you're planning, you must be well, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

Wei Changtian asked with a smile: "Otherwise, you'll remarry?"

"What are you saying!"

Xu Qingwan said with a laugh: "You're not allowed to say such things again!"

"Hahaha, I won't say it again, then you should quickly say, otherwise what?"

"I won't tell you, guess for yourself!"

"Wan'er, I've noticed that you've become more and more improper lately."

"Who, who's being improper!"

"."

After flirting and teasing with Xu Qingwan all the way to the dining hall, Wei Changtian quickly saw Chu Xianping, who was already waiting here.

Judging from the latter's expression, there shouldn't be anything major, which also made Wei Changtian secretly relieved.

"Brother Chu, haven't you eaten breakfast yet?"

"Come, let's eat and talk."

"Yes."

Chu Xianping, who ran here all the time, didn't stand on ceremony. Hearing this, he sat next to Wei Changtian and reported in a low voice:

"Young Master, I have already arranged the things you told me to do."

"Hmm? Which thing?"

"It's..."

Leaning close to Wei Changtian's ear, Chu Xianping said a few words in a low voice.

The former nodded calmly, his expression unchanged.

Actually, it wasn't a big deal. To put it bluntly, it was a "reshaping of racial views" aimed at the people of Shu Province.

You need to know that since Wei Changtian has now reached a cooperation with the demon race, and has also promised a Datong city of "human and demon equality", then one day the demon race will appear in large numbers in the lives of the people of Shu Province.

Therefore, he needs to change the people's attitude towards the demon race as soon as possible.

This matter is not simple to say it is simple, and not difficult to say it is difficult.

Although for most people in this world, the racial view of "demons are unforgivable" is deeply rooted.

However, the lack of information also makes it easy to change the views of the vast majority of ordinary people.

You only need to arrange a little more positive events such as "monsters saving people" and "beautiful demon spirits repaying farmers", and then vigorously spread and promote them in secret. It is expected that over time, the people of Shu will gradually change their views on the demon race.

Of course, this is a systematic project, far from being so simple.

But anyway, Chu Xianping is going to handle it, so Wei Changtian didn't pay too much attention to it.

Taking a step back, even if the people don't accept the demon race, he can't cancel his cooperation with Qingxian.

After all, this is the only way to save Shu Province.

"."

"Okay, I know."

Nodding, Wei Changtian took a bite of the sesame seed cake: "Is there anything else?"

"Yes, there is one more thing."

Chu Xianping turned his head to look at Xu Qingwan and Lu Jingyao, who were also eating, and then said in a low voice:

"Young Master, in the past few days, there has been a woman in the city who has been inquiring about you everywhere."

"Inquiring about me?"

Wei Changtian was stunned, not knowing why Chu Xianping would say this.

You need to know that although the control of Shuzhou City is very strict, it is inevitable that many spies from various families will sneak in.

It's normal for these people to inquire about their own situation, and if they ask about them one by one, they won't have to do anything else every day.

Therefore, Chu Xianping had never reported similar information before, and dealt with it secretly.

But why did he specifically mention it this time?

Is it just because the other party is a woman?

"Brother Chu..."

Gently putting down his chopsticks, Wei Changtian frowned slightly and asked: "Is there anything special about this woman?"

"Yes."

Chu Xianping's voice was even lower, his expression seemed a little puzzled: "Young Master, this person's words and deeds are quite strange, not like a Da Ning person, should have come to Shuzhou from elsewhere specifically to find you."

"And she tells everyone she meets that she is your relative, so our people have not acted rashly for the time being."

"My relative?"

Wei Changtian was slightly stunned, and for a while, he didn't know what the woman's background was.

Although he didn't inherit too much of the memory of the previous owner, if it was really a relative coming to Shuzhou to seek refuge, Wei Xianzhe would definitely send a letter in advance to inform him.

At the very least, he would tell the other party his address, right?

Could it be the kind of distant relative that is eight poles away?

"If she shows up again, bring her to see me."

Shaking his head, Wei Changtian was too lazy to think about it, and after giving an order, he prepared to continue eating.

But at this time, Zhang San suddenly walked in from outside the house, leaned close to his ear and said in a low voice:

"Young Master, there is a girl outside clamoring to see you."
