Her suggestion only got a few puzzled looks in return.
"What?"
"Why do you want to visit that place and register ourselves as rcenaries? We can just kill the beast without the missions and it's not like we need to be a rcenary to train."
Xin Yan beca flustered hearing Noah's reasoning and started thinking of excuses which both Noah and Elysia seed to have noticed. As if they imdiately knew what she wanted, their face gained a smirk that gave Xin Yan a bad feeling.
"It looks like Xin Yan wants to play rcenary and act like a strong cultivator~" Elysia covered her face and teased the mature woman. Xin Yan's gentle face gained a sharp blush on it causing her to lower her head.
'Cute!' Theft thought in unison as they looked at her face. Xin Yan finally noticed their teasing smile and could not help but feel a little annoyed.
"Well we can go there to take a look, but if you want to be registered as a rcenary it would be troubleso. You will directly gain A Rank and if the word gets out it might alert our enemies. They might take the opportunity to escape. Honestly I think you can take your revenge by yourself now."
Noah could always use the seals to seal away her qi cultivation and make her look weak but he did not know much about body cultivation's seal and needed ti to research those parts.
Xin Yan's enthusiasm seed to have diminished as she realized this point, she did not want her enemies to escape hearing her true strength.
Seeing the deflated expression on her usual gentle face, Noah thought of sothing and added.
"How about this, once the Long family is eliminated you can get your rcenary rank." Xin Yan's eyes lit up hearing that and hugged Noah in the mont of happiness, stuffing his face inside her twin peaks.
"Ara~ Thank you Noah!" Noah did not seem to mind the 'comfortable' position he was in, he was a cultivator so he could not be suffocated but soone else seed to mind their closeness.
"Cough!" hearing Elysia's dry cough Xin Yan realized what she had done and backed away.
"I am sorry, it looks like my emotions got the better of . I just want to know what it feels like to be free. Ever since I was a kid, the clan decided what my life would be like and after I got married and had Long Tian, I did not have the ti or luxury to think for myself."
Xin Yan smiled at Noah with her eyes closed making her look even more enchanting. Elysia clicked her tongue hearing those words. She felt bad for teasing her like that now.
Noah also smiled hearing Xin Yan's words and patted her head.
"It's fine."
A lone tear escaped Xin Yan's eyes, although it was noticed by both of them they chose to remain silent. Even though Xin Yan wanted a little bit of ti for herself, she didn't want it like this, with the death of her son.
After spending a mont in the silent and peaceful atmosphere of the room, Xin Yan went back to her room.

*knock* *knock*
"Enter~"
Entering the room, Ma Ning was surprised to see the woman watering a small pot of spiritual plants by herself. He did not think soone with her background and nature would be willing to do this kind of work.
Even the minute movents of her body were filled with elegance and charm.
"Where are the keys to the property you were talking about?"
Seeing Ma Ning holding a stack of papers in his hands, the woman asked with a plain tone but her eyes seed to have narrowed.
*Gulp*
Ma Ning gulped down his saliva nervously and opened his mouth to speak.
".. That.. Property -"
"What happened to that property?"
Seeing the unusual emotions of the old man the young woman could not help but frown. She thought that soone had attacked the property.
'Soone dares to go against Eternal Jade Guild, do they have a death wish?'
The Old man trembled seeing the woman's frown.
'It's over, she will get angry hearing that I was not able to acquire the property.'
Clearly they were not on the sa page.
*Thud*
"I was unable to get the property because soone already bought it."
The old man resigned himself to his fate and fell to his knees. He started crying as he apologized.
"~~...~~"
The woman couldn't keep her elegant pose after hearing Ma Ning's words. Her lips twitched as she looked at the old man's actions.
"This is the only best property I could find after that property."
Ma Ning presented the stack of papers and so stones regarding the best properties they had in their possession.
She realized that Ma Ning seed to have misunderstood her but she did not do anything to correct him and just used her qi to bring the papers and projection stones towards her.
She frowned again seeing the properties on the papers and their projections. They were quite expensive and luxurious but they lacked elegance and a good atmosphere.
Most of them were around crowded streets or the area where the air quality was not good.
She wanted a quiet environnt with a beautiful view to enjoy but none of the places had those things.
"What about the place that was sold?"
She was curious about what kind of place made the old man Ma act like this. Not skipping a beat the Ma Ning brought out all the papers that had information on the building that Noah purchased and he also took out a copy of Projection stone that held the images of the buildings.
When the woman read the information she was impressed by the place, even though she has seen better places this was one of the best places in this city just based on its vibe and looks.
Since her expression did not change on the surface, ma Ning started to sweat profusely.
"Old Ning, how were you able to keep a place like this? Why did it only sell now?"
*~Silence~*
