Chapter 164: A Person of the Jianghu (2)

  Full-time homemaker

  In summary, Xiaoyao thinks it's more cost-effective to stay in the city, earning more money and completing more tasks, which naturally leads to more evaluations!

  Although some primary tasks are less useful than advanced tasks, the effect is much worse, but a little bit can be accumulated, and at the same time, the number of tasks is also an important indicator for Jianghu people to upgrade.

  For example, a Jianghu player completes a task beyond their level, and the evaluation should have allowed them to level up, but if they don't have enough tasks completed, they will still be stuck at that level.

  "Relax, I'm giving you an assignment today!"

  Xiaoyao was originally looking for a task today, but suddenly someone called out. It was a little girl. Xiaoyao had been in contact with her recently because she was the task manager here. Usually, after completing tasks, they would hand them over to her, but it's not common for her to publish tasks herself. Today was a bit strange, why did she come to publish a task on her own initiative?

  "Ma Niang, is there anything you'd like to instruct me specifically?" asked Xiao Yao.

  The little girl's surname is Ma. Xiao Yao knows that much, but he doesn't know her first name. Probably the little girl wouldn't tell him anyway.

  "I've read the evaluations of your tasks, they all say you're very meticulous and do a great job. So today, I'm going to give you a special task. If you do it well, you'll definitely be able to rise to prominence." said Ma Niang.

  "Please speak, Horse Girl!" Xiao Yao said with some anticipation.

  "Yi Hongyuan wants one..." Ma Niang's words had just started when she was immediately interrupted by Xiao Yao.

  "I won't go, I refuse!!" Xiao Yao immediately vetoed. Upon hearing the three words "Yi Hong Yuan", Xiao Yao thought of the task that had been posted on the task announcement board, which no one had taken and had always existed.

  Therefore, it is reasonable for Xiao Yao to believe that the task Ma Niang wants to say is the aforementioned unresolved task.

  "That's not it, don't get me wrong, I'm sending you to the Yihong Courtyard for a different task. The original task has been cancelled by Yihong Courtyard, and now they have a new one - to help a music genius accompany the top songstress!" Ma Niang said with a smile.

  He was silent for a moment before speaking: "Is this different from what we had before?"

  "Ah, yes! Previously, it was just a handsome young man who knew music, but didn't know what to do. Now I clearly know that he only needs to accompany the top singer, and doesn't need to be handsome, otherwise I would have considered calling you!" Ma Niang said with a familiar tone.

  "Hey, I'm a handsome young man, just that my handsomeness isn't quite obvious," Xiao Yao argued, affirming that he was indeed a handsome guy.

  "Hmph..." Ma Niang couldn't help but laugh. Not handsome at all, yet you can say it out loud.

  "Seriously, I'm being serious!!" said Xiao Yao with a straight face.

  "All right, all right, you're a handsome young man! I'm asking you, are you going or not? They only ask for accompaniment once, and they'll give thirty taels of silver, it's a good way to make money." Ma Niang said.

  "How did you know I have a good sense of rhythm?" Xiao Yao asked curiously, as it seemed that he hadn't come into contact with music in his mission.

  "You know music? That's even better!!" Ma Niang said excitedly, and her words clearly told Xiao Yao something. That is, she originally didn't know that Xiao Yao knew music.

  She just wanted to casually send someone over, to deal with the Yihong Courtyard, because this task has been published for so long, if it remains unresolved, it would have a very bad influence on the Jianghu People Alliance.

  In the Jianghu, there are many people who know music, but generally speaking, those who know music are of a higher social class, they have status and position, so how can they take on such work, therefore, she can only casually find someone to deal with it.

  They didn't specify what kind of person they wanted in the first place. If they're not satisfied, just return the deposit and give them some compensation!

  The Jianghu people's alliance is already doing a good job, not perfunctorily, because some tasks are inherently unreasonable. For example, this task, the top singer of Yihongyuan, requires accompaniment from Jianghu people, isn't that ridiculous?

  Who doesn't know that the top songstress of Yihong Courtyard is who, with her status, ordinary musicians aren't qualified to accompany her, they must be master-level, and such people, do you think the Jianghu People Alliance, this martial arts organization, would have?

  So this task is either a desperate attempt or purely messing around!!

  And if it's a case of desperately seeking medical attention, you can directly entrust the alliance to find someone, so in this task, the latter situation occupies more, from the reward and level point of view, it should be a boring little joke.

  It's precisely because of this that the alliance can just send anyone to deal with it and still save face!!

  So, Xiao Yao was sent over, just as Ma Niang said, and all he had to do was accompany her for a little while, and he could get thirty taels of silver, which was quite a good income.

  And if the other party is intentionally making things difficult, Xiao Yao can simply leave and let the Alliance deal with the subsequent problems. A small Jade House like this wouldn't dare to confront the Alliance head-on.

  Don't mention the Red Mansion anymore, even those sects and kingdoms, not many can resist the Alliance. The Jianghu People's Alliance is really too vast, and there may be people among them who are also part of the Jianghu.

  For the sake of the alliance, I will enter a brothel, no, ascend to the green building!!

  "Hey young master, come on in, is this your first time? You look so unfamiliar, want me to introduce you to a girl?"

  After arriving at the Yihong Courtyard, he stood at the door for a short while before being pulled by a beautiful young girl. If she hadn't revealed her identity through her words, it would have been really hard to tell that she was a courtesan from the Yihong Courtyard.

  Even the ones who pull customers at the door have such quality, what kind of girls will be inside, this makes people imagine endlessly, very attractive!!

  This is also the highlight of Yihong Courtyard, where all the women are full of charm, even the ones serving tea and water are lively little girls, this is simply a paradise for men!!

  "Sorry, I'm not here to... uh, sorry, I misspoke, I'm not a customer..." Xiao Yao hastily said with his hands up.

  “……”

  Do these two sentences have different meanings?

  "Don't be shy, it's your first time here, right?" The girl said.

  "Yes! However, I'm not a pleasure-seeker, I really am...not a pleasure-seeker, I'm a Jianghu person, here on a mission!" Xiao Yao changed his address once again and stated the purpose of his visit.

  "What's a Jianghu person? What task?" The girl's enthusiasm cooled down, but she didn't give Xiao Yao a dirty look either, she just became normal.

  "It's you who is the ace singer's desired accompanist, the handsome young man." Xiao Yao raised his head, looking at me with an expression that said I was the standard for a handsome young man.

  "You... I don't know if you can accompany me or not, but whether or not you're a handsome young man, that's something I just can't see," the girl said.

  "That's because you have no taste! This is my token, and the mission letter, please hand it over to your master or that top singer." Xiao Yao didn't have a good impression of that girl anymore, she couldn't even tell how handsome I am!!

  "Little Turtle, take him in to find Red Sister!" The girl didn't take Xiao Yao inside herself, but instead called a small servant beside her to take Xiao Yao to find someone in charge.

  Xiao Ao followed the young servant called Little Turtle and asked curiously, "Is Little Turtle your name or your codename here?"

  "Young master, you want to say that I'm a slave of Xiaogui, right? Actually, I am. But Xiaogui is also my name. I've been living here since I was little and don't have any other name!" Xiaogui replied with a smile, seemingly not getting angry about it, perhaps because he had already gotten used to it.

  "You're an orphan too, I was also picked up by someone when I was young and have been helping others with their work all along. We're similar in this way, as long as we work hard, there will definitely be a day when we can stand out." Xiang began to encourage the other person.

  "Are you also a ghost slave?" The little turtle asked directly.

  "That's not it," said Xiao Yao, "I'm a servant."

  "It's all the same, it's all about being a subordinate, I think mine is relatively good, I can see beautiful women every day, the girls here are all stunning!" Xiaogui said with a smile, as if he was enjoying his job.

  "That's also true!" Xiangyang smiled, everyone has their own life, maybe some people think it's very lowly, but from another perspective, they all have their own freedom.

  Xiaoyao's home is working, some people are not saying that it is inferior? But he is happy in it!!

  "Red Sister, there's a Jianghu person here on a mission!" Little Turtle led Xiao Yao to a room outside and shouted.

  "Oh, the Jianghu People's Alliance has finally sent someone over, let him in!" Red Sister's voice came from inside, and judging from her tone, she was aware of this matter.

  "Yes, Red Sister! Young Master, you may enter!" Little Turtle pushed open the door and invited Xiao Yao to enter, then he excused himself and left.

  She walked in with a carefree air, the room had a quiet and elegant flavor, whether it was olfactory or visual, and the person inside was the same, a quietly beautiful noble lady.

  "Hello Hong Jie, I'm Xiao Yao, from the Jianghu People's Alliance. Where is the top songstress? Can we begin?" Xiao Yao got straight to the point, he wasn't interested in staying here to admire beautiful women.

  "Top songstress... haven't you heard of her name?" The casual way he said it left Hong Jie somewhat surprised.

  "Ah, let me check, it should be on the task list... Hmm, how come it's not here..." Xiao Yao started searching for information, but he found that it wasn't written down as it should have been.

  “…, no one is above, because everyone knows who the top songstress of our Yihong Courtyard is! It seems you really haven't heard, okay, I won't care if you're pretending or not, let me tell you, the top songstress is called Hei Xue.” Hong Jie was afraid that Xiao Yao would be rude to Hei Xue in front of everyone during the voting for the top songstress, so she naturally wanted to take preventive measures.
