Online: I Can See Health Bars

Fang Yu frowned.

"Don't admit it... then you may leave."

Jin Yexue, who was in a certain state, suddenly looked up in confusion: "Master?"

"Go to the accounting office tomorrow to settle your wages, and don't come here anymore."

Jin Yexue's expression suddenly changed.

Fang Yu was looking for reliable people, so he offered a high salary, much above the market rate.

Jobs like this, which are easy, simple, with few responsibilities, are not easy to find.

Most importantly, the wages with Fang Yu could be settled daily. He had specifically mentioned this to his elder sister in order to attract high-quality servants.

Such an easy-to-find job, now lost, would be hard to find again.

Moreover...

Jin Yexue seemed to realize, bit her lip, her face flushed, and said in a low voice.

"If the master wants to see... then go ahead and look..."

With a rustle,

Jin Yexue's outer garment smoothly fell to the ground.

She even seemed quite skilled at it!

While Fang Yu was stunned,

she had already started to undo her inner garments, and the wrapped white cloth over her chest was already visible.

Still denying she's disguising as a man!

"Stop!"

Jin Yexue looked up in confusion, stopping: "Master?"

"I know your situation now, you just need to tell me, why did you disguise yourself as a man?"

"...Master, I can't explain in detail, what I can say is, I have some enemies outside, I can only evade assassination by disguising as a man..."

You should have said so earlier, just this small matter.

"You are dismissed."

Jin Yexue: ???

This is not following the script!!

"Master???"

Fang Yu couldn't be bothered to clean up after a servant who had just joined for a day.

"Someone, take Jin Yexue back to her room to rest."

Creak.

The door opened, a maid came in, but saw Jin Yexue with red eyes, glared at Fang Yu, pushed the maid away, and ran out with tears in her eyes.

The second sister by the door saw Jin Yexue coming out disheveled and was suddenly dumbfounded.

She hurried into the room.

"Diao Deyi, what, what did you do to Jin Yexue??"

Fang Yu waved his hand to dismiss the maid, then spread his hands.

"I did nothing, she carries some trouble that might affect us, I plan to replace her."

The second sister was initially doubtful, then remembered she shouldn't mistrust Fang Yu and relaxed.

"Jin Yexue is quite good, skilled in martial arts, and also a woman, it's safer for me when she patrols inside the house."

Fang Yu puzzled.

"You knew she was a woman?"

"Of course. Isn't it easy to tell?"

Well, turns out she's the only one who felt good about herself.

Forget it, it's better to get rid of a trouble than to keep one, he has got plenty of issues to deal with.

"Jin Yexue is quite pitiful, her parents were killed by enemies, she abandoned her identity, fled all the way here, has no skills, and isn't a local of Tianyuan Town, everything is inconvenient for her. Shall we help her?"

Fang Yu: ???

"How did you know about this? Did she tell you?"

"Yes. When we were recruiting, she told me clearly... oh dear! I forgot, she told me to keep it a secret! You mustn't tell anyone, otherwise it might bring her enemies here."

Second sister, you really can't keep your mouth shut...

"It's not appropriate, there are many ways to help others, helping blindly without knowing her enemy's strength could lead to one's own ruin. If you feel bad, just give her a few more days' wages tomorrow."

The second sister sighed, now that Fang Yu was the head of the household, once he made a decision, she couldn't say much.

She just got up, wanting to find Jin Yexue and comfort her.

But she left the study, went to the shed where Jin Yexue lived, only to see that Jin Yexue was already asleep, with tear stains at the corners of her eyes, seeming to have cried herself to sleep.

This made the second sister feel even more guilty, a sense of compassion arose.

Tomorrow, I'll settle a month's wages for her...

...

In reality.

Jin Yexue opened her eyes.

As soon as she took off her gaming headset, she rushed to the bathroom.

Half an hour later, she came out of the bathroom weakly and collapsed on the bed with a flushed face and a satisfied expression.

"Cross-dressing in the game is really thrilling!"

"But it just lacked that final step! Why did that damn old man have to stop me, why did he pity and cherish me! I don't deserve it!!"

"Don't pity me just because I'm a delicate flower!"

Panting, she pondered.

Her friends had only two words to describe the way she played the game—defying the heavens.

But she herself felt pretty indifferent.

"Maybe the persona of coyness doesn't fit that old man's taste, but it definitely suits my taste! I've dreamed of cross-dressing as a man, being coy, and then being..."

This game had truly opened a new world for Jin Yexue.

When her first character died, she thought it was such a trash game with severe death penalties and difficult leveling.

But when her second character started as an elder sister-involved romantic domestic affairs, she realized, she had been approaching the game all wrong before. This was the real fun of the game!

She immediately immersed herself in her game character, and then, by some fluke, it seemed like she had found the true way to play the game.

While other players were frequently exposed and executed as demons, she naturally blended in.

Later, it led to the downfall of her family, and her second character was poisoned to death.

Now, she was on her third character.

After briefly exploring and understanding this character's background, she planned to play in a unique way.

Dressing up as a man, infiltrating the large household.

Working with the male servants, bathing, living day-by-day, she had to guard against the head of the household discovering her true identity as a woman, yet also live alongside her fellow workers—it was simply...dreamlike.

Sadly, it was all ruined by that old man.

"If that's the case, then I'll just take that wooden sword, cross-dress, and infiltrate those Major Sects."

"Sect life..."

Jin Yexue daydreamed excitedly.

...

In the game.

"My lord, then I shall take my leave."

"Okay."

Watching his stout figure, Fang Yu thoughtfully considered.

Unexpectedly, this gardener who came from a brothel and specialized in gardening was actually the most normal one, responding to any question with answers completely matching the information on file.

The only issue was her contract still held by the brothel, she was like a dispatched worker pushed out by the brothel.

The brothel had no tasks for her, yet held onto her contract, pushing her toward the market, deducting a portion of her wages each month for the brothel.

Indeed, this gardener was stable in temperament and sophisticated in speech, no doubt trained by the brothel, yet suffering from unappealing physique and appearance, according to her own words, was brought in by the brothel for clients with special tastes.

Unfortunately, before her training was complete, that client ran into financial troubles and abruptly couldn't afford her services, naturally putting an end to that business.

Otherwise, this gardener might now be some rich man's kept mistress.

Fang Yu looked at the sheet of paper on the table with three names written on it.

Then he crossed out [Jin Yexue] from the list of three.

He then circled the name [Zhang Ziheng] and added a question mark.

Lastly, he checked off the name [Hui Hui].

As for the other miscellaneous workers, there were basically no issues.

Even if there were minor issues, they were trivial, unlike these three who were very obvious and stood out.

Standing up, Fang Yu walked outside.

He planned to find Che Linfang to investigate these three people in more detail.

In addition if there was enough time, he also wanted to visit [Black and White Rice Shop].

Fang Yu was quite interested in the method used by Xiu Xiu to delay death.

At that time, Xiu Xiu's health points were a total of less than 10.

Completely the health points of a mortal.

Since she could learn such a technique, it meant his second sister might be able to learn it too.

Although it only delays death for a few seconds, which might seem to have little use,

if it's timed right, those few seconds are enough to save a life.

With a genius like Ding Hui helping, stopping the injury and then bringing someone back from the brink of death is entirely possible.

"My lord."

At the doorway, only Dun Zhiwen remained guarding.

Fang Yu nodded slightly, letting him continue to guard the door, then left the house, heading straight for Lingyun Inn.
