Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!-Chapter 75: Deeply Shocked

If she could know the current situation outside, she could prepare in advance. This deal is very worthwhile for Yanlan, if you think about it carefully, she’s actually at a loss!

"What oversight?" Leng Qi didn’t understand.

Wait, what did the female Rakshasa just say?

Her master? She always talked about the Commander before, only mentioned master the first time. Now Leng Qi just realized that the master in Cheng Xiaoxiao’s words might not be Boss Han.

"Who is this Han Commander you mentioned? And who is the master?" Leng Qi asked uncertainly.

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked astonished. Did this foolish Qi have water in his brain, not recognizing his own master?

Could it be she’s always mistaken, Leng Qi isn’t Yanlan’s person?

How could that be?

Leng Qi’s doubts bewildered her too.

Helplessly, she said truthfully, "Isn’t your boss Han Er? The guard who looks very handsome, with a high nose ridge, thin lips, and two small dimples when smiling."

Leng Qi’s eyes widened, oh my!

It turns out the Commander in the female Rakshasa’s words is the Deputy Commander.

Then all along, he thought the female Rakshasa was Boss Han’s woman, was he mistaken?

But that’s not right, judging from every letter, Boss Han indeed takes good care of this girl!

What’s going on?

"Do you know Boss Han... No, do you know Han Yi?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao shook her head, "Han Yi, could it be Han Er’s older brother or sibling? Otherwise, why is he ranked before Han Er."

"As for the master, isn’t it Yanlan? I heard Han Er call him master." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

The female Rakshasa actually doesn’t know Boss Han, wait.... what did she just say, she said Han Er calls him master, only the Pavilion Master, only someone with Han in their name could be the Pavilion Master’s close assistant, have the right to call master, which means the female Rakshasa actually knows the Pavilion Master, and knows the Pavilion Master’s name, oh my! What has he heard!

This professional killer Leng Qi is losing his cool, and paced back and forth on the spot.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was baffled.

"Did you see what Han Er’s master looks like?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao nodded once more,

Leng Qi was even more unsettled, no one in the Dark Pavilion dared to see the Pavilion Master’s face, the Pavilion Master always wears a silk-gold peacock mask, mysterious and powerful, anyone who has seen the true face of the Pavilion Master, whether enemy or comrade, their graves are covered with grass.

Some speculated within the Pavilion that the Pavilion Master has a dual identity, only known by close assistants, and now only two leaders with Han names remain, anyone else seeing their true face would die.

Why?

Why is the female Rakshasa still alive and well?

Did she really see the Pavilion Master’s true face? And overlooked the Pavilion Master, heavens! This female Rakshasa is something else.

Now that he’s learned this big secret, won’t he be silenced?

Cheng Xiaoxiao had no interest in Leng Qi’s mumbling and tentatively asked, "Are you saying Han Er is not your boss, but Han Yi is?"

Leng Qi nodded.

"Then are their levels different?"

Leng Qi shook his head, then nodded.

"What does that mean?"

Leng Qi was so anxious, cold sweat broke out, fumbling to explain: "It’s not a matter of level, just different responsibilities, Boss Han has real power, no, the Deputy Commander also has power, and no, Boss Han’s position is different, the Deputy Commander’s side isn’t as dangerous."

The nervous Leng Qi spoke incoherently, but Cheng Xiaoxiao understood. Like being in the same company, both managers of the same rank, one is the general manager overseeing everything, another is more carefree, akin to a deputy manager, hmm, something like that.

The conclusion is, if it’s official business, look for Han Yi, for personal matters, Han Er would do.

But right now, she isn’t looking for either of them! She aims for the main figure.

"I don’t care what these two are responsible for, now it’s about a trade between your master, the Pavilion Master, and me," she said, "Relay a message."

"I, I..."

Leng Qi didn’t know how to report to Boss Han.

Earlier, he thought the female Rakshasa was Boss Han’s beloved, but they don’t even know each other, and the female Rakshasa is directly related to the Pavilion Master. Would Cheng Xiaoxiao complain to the Pavilion Master about his prior impoliteness?

"What do you mean I, I? I just want you to send a message. There’s nothing complicated about it. Tell him the prescription I gave before, I have an upgraded version now."

Leng Qi: "What do you mean by upgraded version?"

"It means better efficacy, faster hemostasis. Of course, the prescription is the same, I didn’t deceive him on that, but I have a method to enhance efficacy, got it now!"

Leng Qi had been in Qingshan Village for over two months, Cheng Xiaoxiao busied with herbs, never showing anything remarkable, so why did the Pavilion Master take note of her! Even specifically sent him to protect her, really don’t know how this thin person got this dumb luck.

Confused or not, Leng Qi calmed down, took a deep breath, and after all, he never saw the Pavilion Master’s true form, he just needed to do his part.

After some self-consolation, Leng Qi nodded, and even looked at Cheng Xiaoxiao much more kindly.

The conversation concluded amicably, the next morning, Cheng Xiaoxiao personally wrote the formulation and fusion sequence of the prescription and handed it to Leng Qi.

Delivering the prescription first symbolizes good faith!

At the end of the letter, she subtly mentioned if she could have Leng Qi help with an urgent matter.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xiaoxiao chuckled unkindly.

In a good mood, she practiced calligraphy with a brush, having worked diligently for days, improved a lot, and thought quite elegant and proper, even Second Brother praised her great progress.

...

Two days later, in the Heir Mansion, the bright and tidy study room, Han Yi presented a letter ring in both hands, "That fellow Leng Qi, he just sent a message a few days ago, what urgent business this time."

After the downpour, they communicated with Leng Qi, and under Miss Cheng’s lead, Qingshan Village remained intact, having also harvested large quantities of river fish, made into easy-to-store dried fish.

Honestly, just speaking about hoarding food, Han Yi admired Cheng Xiaoxiao’s foresight. Now, countless starving refugees outside have nothing to eat, not even bark or grass roots, resorting to cannibalism, while the food she stored was enough for two to three years.

The stern man raised his head, put down the book in his hand, and took Han Yi’s letter ring. Upon feeling it, he noticed it was two sizes larger than usual and laughed!

It was the second time Han Yi saw the master laugh, that girl Cheng Xiaoxiao really catered to the master’s taste, could even let her become a concubine in the mansion, indulging her wouldn’t be out of the question, although given Miss Cheng’s status, being just a concubine isn’t quite enough, however, if the master likes, exceptions can be made, Leng Qi thought secretly.

If Cheng Xiaoxiao knew Han Yi thought of her like that, she’d definitely send him flying with a frying pan, what concubine, not even qualified as concubine, even being the main wife isn’t desired.

As they say, overthinking is an illness, needs a cure!

Yanlan quickly finished browsing the contents of both letters, one was a report from Leng Qi, the other in Cheng Xiaoxiao’s handwriting. No wonder she was unwilling to write before, having practiced so long just reached a novice level, not easy indeed.

Imagining such childish script, a proud demeanor behind it, as if saying, see! Who said I can’t write, I can even jot down the prescription, also those clear lively laughing eyes, constantly lingered in his mind.

After a while, seeing that the master hadn’t moved, Han Yi voiced out: "Master, is there something urgent?"
