Ling Chenxi used the communicator given by Li Jinyi to contact Xu Songming and found out the whereabouts of Xiaoye and others.

Everyone checked out of the inn and went directly to where Xiaoye and the others lived, a villa in the suburbs of Lingxi City.

When everyone arrived outside the courtyard, Ling Chenxi signaled everyone to hide their presence and quietly approach the courtyard. However, when they approached the courtyard, they found that there was no one in the courtyard.

"Could the news be wrong?" Ling Chenxi muttered to himself.

At this moment, a powerful aura came from behind them. Everyone turned around and saw a man in black slowly walking towards them.

"Hello, City Lord. Are you looking for Xiaoye and the others?" The man in black raised his hands to salute and spoke.

Ling Chenxi looked at him warily, "Who are you? How do you know who I am and who we are looking for?"

"I am a secret guard sent by Protector Xu Songming." The man in black said, "I am responsible for secretly protecting Xiaoye and the others' safety."

Ling Chenxi breathed a sigh of relief, "I see, thank you very much, sir. But where did Xiao Ye and the others go?"

The man in black said, "Xiao Ye and Xiao Liu went to negotiate the contract and sign the shop. The five children are receiving training on store management at the auction house. They will come back here to rest in the evening.

"Besides you, who else is here in the mansion now?" Sun Yiqian asked.

"Xiao Ye and the others should be back soon. I was notified when the city lord contacted Protector Xu."

Ling Chenxi was touched. Li Jinyi sometimes did things without informing her in advance, but he always arranged things based on her. "In that case, let's stay here and rest until Xiaoye and the others come back."

When they entered the courtyard, they found that the arrangement and layout of the courtyard were the same as those of the General's Mansion, except for the different decorations. Ling Chenxi's courtyard was arranged according to her preferences.

"Xi'er, Xiaoye and Xiaoliu are really loyal to you. The layout of your courtyard is almost the same as the general's mansion, and it is all based on your preferences." Ling Chenhong said with a smile.

"Of course, second brother, don't you see who is leading the soldiers? Humph~~" Ling Chenxi said proudly.

The brother and sister were bickering when two voices were heard at the door of the living room, "Master/sister, Young Master Ling." It was Xiao Ye and Xiao Liu who had just returned from outside.

"Master/sister, when did you arrive? The secret guard didn't even send anyone to notify us," Xiao Liu said.

"Yes, yes, sister, I miss you so much!" said the Red Flame Tiger Chicheng

"We just arrived too. Second brother, this is the sacred beast Chicheng, the red flame tiger that I secretly contracted in the Warcraft Forest. How are you guys doing?" Ling Chenxi asked while introducing Chicheng to Ling Chenhong.

"We are all fine. Ling Xiaofeng and four others are receiving training at Canglan Auction House. Xiao Liu, Xiao Ye and I are looking for a suitable store according to our master's instructions." Xiao Ye reported.

"Hello, Young Master Ling, sister, can I go back to the space to find Bai Ran and the others?" Chi Cheng asked while greeting Ling Chenhong.

"Oh, hello!" Ling Chenhong replied.

"Okay." After hearing what Chicheng said, Ling Chenxi waved his hand and put it into the space. Then he continued to talk to everyone.

"Master, Young Master Ling, you guys must be tired. I'll have someone take you to the yard to rest. When Xiaofeng and the others come back, we'll have a good chat with the master." Xiao Liu said.

Everyone took a short break in the courtyard, waiting for Ling Xiaofeng and the others to return. Not long after, there was a commotion in the courtyard. It turned out that Ling Xiaofeng and the others had returned.

"Xiaofeng, you're back!" Ling Chenxi greeted them happily.

"Young Master, you are here! Today, Protector Xu told us that you had contacted him. We thought we would see you tomorrow. Young Master, Young Master Ling Bai, how are you all?" Ling Xiaofeng asked.

We are all fine. Come, let me introduce you to Ling Chenhong, the young master of the General's Mansion. He is also my second brother. From now on, you can just call him Young Master Ling." Ling Chenxi said.

"Second brother, these are a group of orphans that my brother Ling Bai and I rescued in the Warcraft Forest. They didn't have names, so I used Ling and Xiao as their surnames, and Fengxue, Yuyue and Yang as their given names." Ling Chenxi said.

"Hello, Young Master Ling." Everyone bowed and greeted Ling Chenhong.

"Hello, welcome to Xier's big family. Xier, you're great. You organized a small team so quickly. Although they are young, their cultivation and qualities are good." Ling Chenhong said with a smile.

"That is..." Ling Chenxi said proudly.

"Look at how proud you are. By the way, Xiaofeng, how are you doing in the auction house?" Ling Bai asked.

"Master Ling Bai, we are doing well. Protector Xu and the others have taught us a lot and we have learned a lot of practical things!" Ling Xiaofeng said excitedly.

"As long as you are willing to learn and can learn, that's good. Remember, this will be your home from now on, and it depends on the seven of you to maintain it together." Ling Chenxi said.

"Yes, Master, we must protect our homeland well. Xiaoye and the others said in unison.

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking for now. Are you all hungry? Dinner is ready. Let's talk while we eat." Xiao Liu greeted with a smile.

After dinner, everyone sat together and shared their experiences and gains. Everyone had a great time talking and the atmosphere was harmonious.

"By the way, Xiaoye, have you found a suitable store?" Ling Chenxi asked.

"Well, we found a few good shops. We'll go take a closer look and negotiate tomorrow. Master, do you want to go with us?" Xiao Ye asked.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. You all have worked hard, please sit down and eat.

Go find some servants and maids tomorrow, and you don’t have to be so polite when you eat here, just eat together.” Ling Chenxi ordered.

Afterwards, everyone sat in the dining room and ate happily together. Afterwards, Xiao Ye took out the deed of the other courtyard and gave it to Ling Chenxi, saying, "Master, this is the deed of the other courtyard. Protector Xu asked me to give it to you when you arrive. The name on this deed has been changed to yours." Xiao Ye handed over the deed and said.

"It seems that the man is sincere to Xier and has made such thoughtful preparations." Ling Zhengning said jokingly.

"Brother Zhengning, you are making fun of me!" Ling Chenxi teased embarrassedly, "Instead of talking about me who has no photo, you might as well talk about you two. How about I put you in the same room?"

"Xier...Brother Ning, it's all your fault." Sun Yiqian stomped her feet shyly.

Hahaha! There was a burst of laughter in the lounge.

At this time, Xu Songming's secret guard, who had received Ling Chenxi and others in the afternoon, came in, saluted and said, "Princess, Protector Xu is here."

"Princess, I haven't seen you for a while. How are you? I'm sorry to bother you so late." Xu Songming walked into the conference room and said with a smile.

"Protector Xu, how are you? You are always welcome here. Why are you disturbing us? We should be thanking you." Ling Chenxi said.

"There's no need to thank me. I was just following orders. If you really want to thank me, just agree to someone's request. Then I won't have to be so tired of being a middleman in the future." Xu Songming suggested with a smile.

When everyone heard Xu Songming's words, they immediately understood. They also understood why Xu Songming had protected and helped the General's Mansion in the past. It turned out that he was acting on Li Jinyi's orders.

Everyone smiled at Ling Chenxi, which made her feel shy.

"Protector Xu, I thank you on behalf of Xier. Let them handle their own affairs. No matter what Xier decides, we brothers and sisters support her." Ling Chenhong said with a smile.

“Princess, if you want to recruit servants and maids, you can go to a slave market in the south of the city.

As for me, the secret guard, I will give him to you from now on. This is his indenture, and you have the final say on how to arrange his affairs.

Okay, I won't disturb you guys to rest. If you need help in the future, feel free to ask the people from Qinglan Palace, Lord City Lord." After Xu Songming finished speaking with a smile, he left the villa.

Afterwards, Ling Chenxi saw that it was getting late, so he asked everyone to go back to their rooms and rest.

Tomorrow, they have many important things to arrange...
