Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1723: Ideas in 1723

Qi Wen had no choice; she was actually getting a bit anxious herself. Qi Hao and Qi Xuan probably haven’t reached Mahayana yet; it’d be great if she could catch up.

Looking at this person, it really seems like getting lost in delight.

"I’ll definitely leave within two years. I estimate after my two brothers reach Mahayana, my mom will start repairing the Ascension Channel. This kind of thing absolutely cannot be missed."

"Relax, your mom will definitely wait for you, or notify us to return."

It’s been eight years here. Somehow, it’s been almost ten years, although the original plan was twenty.

"Aren’t you worried about your work?"

"Your big brother is such a meticulous person, there will definitely be no problems," Meng Po said with a chuckle.

"You’re not planning to play enough, are you?" Qi Wen asked in surprise.

"Of course, in the future when they ascend, there won’t be anyone to take over for me."

Otherwise, King Yan wouldn’t agree. This is giving someone face, and there’s no choice; this is her opportunity. If she doesn’t seize it, there really won’t be a chance to leave for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Meng Po knew the sisters wanted to leave, but primarily, it was that Golden Immortal who wanted to leave. He couldn’t appear in this realm, so of course he was anxious.

In the following days, Meng Po became even more carefree, following adults to the brothel.

Gu Ersheng was extremely angry. Everyone said not to let Qi Wen come over, yet he insisted on coming along.

Qi Wen was really curious about brothels. She had seen many love stories that took place in brothels.

After coming, she regretted it greatly; mundane and vulgar, she didn’t see any of those outstanding talented women with great temperament.

So did Meng Po, feeling deceived.

Both handsome, and the Champion Scholar and Runner-up, most importantly very favored by the Emperor. Now they’ve become third-rank officials, and haven’t been assigned elsewhere, always staying by the Emperor’s side. Although with no real power, as long as the Emperor favors them, there will surely be opportunities in the future.

"Are the two gentlemen unsatisfied?"

"Just these? Aren’t there those who are outstanding in temperament and talent?"

"Others wouldn’t do, but since two gentlemen of such high elegance have appeared, of course, I’m willing to call out my most excellent daughter to accompany the two gentlemen."

The madam said with a chuckle, she’d seen many people, but they were the first with such upright gazes.

Qi Wen looked at the girl in white clothes who entered, looking just thirteen or fourteen years old, indeed adorable.

"Gentlemen, this is the girl I’ve trained since childhood. She’s been very diligent; she can play music, chess, painting, and calligraphy. I planned to have her receive guests when she turns sixteen.

But with two gentlemen here today, I’m making an exception. Although I hold this identity, I have a heart too. This child is too endearing; if the two of you can give her a position, just take her with you and return the Silver I paid for her back to me."

People coming here supposedly enjoy this. Seeing the girl’s temperament, certainly many like her.

Listening to the madam’s words made them even more eager. Qi Wen gazed at the girl intensively, already chatting with Gu Ersheng.

"Is this Chen Xiaorui’s reincarnation?"

"Yes."

"Didn’t she fail the Heavenly Tribulation and utterly vanish?"

"This is heaven’s compensation; otherwise, since when do cultivators have reincarnation?"

"Does it have anything to do with me?"

"You can redeem her."

"Wouldn’t that mean there’s a karmic connection? I don’t want that. Besides, given the circumstances, it seems many people would want to redeem her.

Being nurtured like this since childhood, she’ll just end up reliant on men; she simply can’t survive outside on her own.

While we’re around, it might be fine; but what happens after we leave? Her fate might be even more secure following these people."

Living here for many years, she knew the situation around here. A woman without a foundation simply can’t survive.

Even placing her with an ordinary family, her future days wouldn’t be peaceful.

"Why don’t you ask her what she thinks? Fate brought you two together."

Qi Wen had no choice, "Alright then, I’ll ask."

Really had no choice, although somehow there’s a bit of connection with father. If she could settle things, it’d be good; let Dad be completely relieved, it’s already reincarnation.

Meng Po was listening to the beautiful melody on the side, watching her sister’s situation.

"What’s up?"

"Talk later when we’re back."

They’ve still got some skills. They’re quite alright.

Men when together have no limits, anything they say becomes wild.

Qi Wen looked at the girl playing the zither with her head slightly lowered, without any disturbance, wondering what was going on.

"Lord Ye, what’s your plan?"

Qi Wen nodded, "Everyone, excuse me, I’d like to chat privately with this young lady."

"Haha, has Lord Ye taken a shine to her? Naturally, we should help Lord Ye."

Everyone left, while Qi Wen watched her still with her head slightly tilted down.

"What’s on your mind?" Trying to avoid small talk.

"Sir, this humble girl wishes to leave here. Mom cares for me deeply, but I don’t want to settle."

Qi Wen nodded, "What do you plan in the future? We brothers won’t have anything to do with you.

I can redeem you, but won’t care for you afterward."

Lu Shui was terribly disappointed. These two young Lords Ye seemed so promising; even being their maid would suffice.

But the Human Realm clearly stated, redemption is possible, but they don’t want her—was it due to dislike?

"Sir, I can’t survive properly if I leave."

Qi Wen nodded, still a sensible person.

"Then only if others redeem you. Who caught your eye? I’ll talk for you."

"Sir, I’m willing to be a regular maidservant, even a maid."

Qi Wen shook his head, "No need. All I can do to help you is find someone decent."

"Sir, I have no ideas."

"Then I’m afraid I have no solution."

Lu Shui knew it wouldn’t be possible with these two gentlemen; she knew that having him involved would mean a better life ahead, even as a concubine, the master would favor her.

Despite being here, the news reached her and quite a lot of it too.

"Sir, could it be Lord Sun from the Ministry of Industry?"

Qi Wen nodded, still not a fool; Lord Sun among the group was still a decent one.

"I’ll ask for you."

"Sir, why are you being so kind to me? Can’t I follow you?" A last attempt to plea.

"Hmm, just a sudden sense of compassion," Qi Wen said, stepping out. They were in the next room, and Qi Wen directly cupped his fist at Lord Sun.

"Lord Sun, looking at this girl, I suddenly felt sympathy and deemed her auspicious. I just asked her about this, would Lord Sun consider?"

"Haha, is Lord Ye matchmaking?" Several others burst into laughter.

Qi Wen smiled.

"Since Lord Ye favors this young lady, let her come back with me," Lord Sun did not refuse.
