Chapter 72 Which pot should not be opened?

Han Xier pursed her lips, her rosy lips were like roses in the morning, full of temptation. She chuckled and said, "Brother, you are not afraid of meeting the entangled girl yesterday, are you?"

Xu Luo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This sister really kept bringing up things that were not relevant to the topic.

"Rest at home, get some peace and quiet, and avoid getting yourself into trouble." Xu Luo muttered to himself while stroking his chin.

Han Xier stood aside, pouting her rosy lips in dissatisfaction: "Brother, you should stay at home. I have to go to Mr. Duan's house to help, and I probably won't be back until the afternoon. If you are hungry at noon, find a way to get something to eat."

Hearing her say this, Xu Luo couldn't help but frown. His family was well-off now, and he didn't understand why his sister had to go out to suffer. But he had a habit of getting a fortune for him and his sister every morning before going out, and only letting her leave after confirming that everything was fine.

"Don't overwork yourself. Do what you can." Xu Luo acted like an elder brother. "I have enough money now. I'll take you to the city in a couple of days and pick out some cloth to make you some new clothes."

Han Xier smiled, a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes, "Brother, you should keep that money for yourself to start a family in the future. You can't always spend it on me."

"Nonsense, I'm not in a hurry to get married. You are the most important thing now." Xu Luo deliberately frowned and pretended to be angry. "In this world, we are the closest siblings. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"

Han Xier just smiled gently after hearing this. Her smile was as bright and charming as peach blossoms in spring. She nodded, picked up the bamboo basket, swayed her waist, and walked out of the yard step by step. The slender figure walked farther and farther in the sun until it disappeared from sight.

Xu Luo stepped over the threshold and was about to stroll into the house, but in the blink of an eye, a series of mechanical prompt sounds suddenly rang in his ears, nailing his steps to the spot.

[Congratulations to the host, the mission is accomplished! ] [Say goodbye to your fortune-telling identity! ] [Scores collected, 385 points] [Reward: Eight Gods Calling the Wind and Rain, please accept it] [The door to a new career is open for you, please choose at will! ]

This sudden change made Xu Luo stunned like a stone statue. He couldn't help but think of when he first came to the Tang Dynasty, he was just a little-known character. But in the blink of an eye, he became a famous fortune teller. Two months in the Tang Dynasty passed in a flash, faster than turning the pages of a book.

He felt mixed emotions in his heart, but he put on a bitter smile, muttering to himself: "Alas, in this world, a fine horse can be bought for a hundred gold coins, a beautiful woman can be bought for a thousand gold coins, and a high rank can be exchanged for ten thousand gold coins, but how can you bargain for the price of youth?"

Xu Luo sighed softly and asked into the void: "System, tell me, what new identities can we choose from this time?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the system sounded the reminder sound again diligently.

At this time, the female character next to him, with her eyes rolling and a smile on her lips, gently touched a strand of hair by her ear, and looked at Xu Luo in a charming way, as if saying: "Pick a job that can always be with me, okay?" Her jade-like skin, with an alluring luster in the sun, made people unable to help but be distracted. Xu Luo's eyes lit up, and four new identity options popped up on the system interface. He couldn't help but imagine what he would look like after the transformation. Suddenly, he remembered the joke that made people laugh: There was a scholar who was determined to be "learned and knowledgeable", but he ended up studying so much that he became hunchbacked. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he laughed in his heart. This Confucian identity didn't seem so unattainable.

He glanced at the word "official" and thought to himself that to get promoted and make money, one must be smooth and worldly-wise. And a "general" must be majestic and have the courage of ten thousand men. As for a "businessman", hey, isn't it just buying low and selling high and calculating carefully?
Xu Luo's mind was turning over. At this moment, the woman beside him, with curved eyebrows and smiling eyes, seemed to see through his hesitation. She opened her red lips and spoke softly, "Xu Luo, if you become a scholar, you will be full of knowledge and fascinate all the women; if you become an official, you will be able to hold great power and be admired by all; if you become a general, you will be so heroic that I don't know how many girls will fight for you; if you become a businessman, you will be prosperous and your house will be full of gold and silver."

As she spoke, she gently stroked her slender neck with her slender fingertips, and the action gave off an inexplicable temptation. Xu Luo was a little dazed, but he knew in his heart that each of these four identities had its own unique charm and challenges.

"However, in this chaotic world, where can we find a place to settle down?" Xu Luo muttered to himself, his eyes firm. He knew very well that no matter the knowledge of a Confucian scholar, the power of an official, the bravery of a general, or the wealth of a businessman, if you want to gain a foothold in this world, you must do something.

He pondered for a moment, finally made up his mind, and had the answer in his mind.

Xu Luo was in a daze when suddenly there was a commotion in the yard and several figures hurried towards him. When they stepped into the yard, Xu Luo was still standing there, with a confused look in his eyes.

One of the people who came had a mischievous smile on his face and joked, "Mr. Han, how are you?" Xu Luo was startled and turned his head. When he saw the leader, Old Sun, his face changed.

"Old Sun, how did you get here?" he asked calmly.

Old Sun was not in a hurry, but waved his hand with a smug look on his face. Several servants filed in, holding trays covered with bright red cloth. Although Xu Luo said "Why spend so much money", he couldn't help but glance at the trays.

When he lifted a corner of the red cloth, his eyes almost popped out - all of them were priceless pearls, agates, and jadeite. At this time, the female character Liu'er beside Xu Luo inadvertently brushed the hair beside her ear, and her eyes seemed to reflect the luster of those treasures. Her lips curled up slightly, and she smiled softly, "Master Han, these treasures are really exciting."

Xu Luo responded politely on the surface, but his eyes could not help but wander over Liu'er's exposed neck and looming chest, revealing his true thoughts. The body is more honest than the mouth, and he has long been attracted by the temptation of these treasures.

Changsun Yuanji saw Lan Dongwu leading a few servants rushing into the house, and couldn't help but smile knowingly. He hadn't intended to let these servants in, but Lan Dongwu looked so overwhelmed that it was obvious that he was here to ask Xu Luo for help. He waved his hand, signaling the servants to leave. Lan Dongwu straightened his clothes and said in a somewhat joking tone: "Old Sun, I didn't expect that you are so particular about the ostentation here."

After hearing this, Xu Luo's eyes rolled, a humorous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he responded: "No, no, it's just bluffing." The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became a lot more relaxed.
