"Lord Buddha, there's still something you need to handle personally tonight," Jin Zhimei said with a smile.
"Oh? What needs my personal attention?" Su Chen asked teasingly.
"Because a woman just interviewed for a job at the manor, and tonight, you have to interview her..."
When Jin Zhimei spoke, Su Chen widened his eyes.
There's such an operation?
Turns out, most of the women in this manor, aside from those personally chosen by Lord Buddha, are recruited through online applications.
Su Chen was curious, wondering why women from almost every corner of the country were in Lord Buddha's manor.
Turns out it's through this method.
Yet, Jin Zhimei spoke with such eagerness.
About how they must undergo strict selection; figure and appearance must be top-notch.
And they must possess talent.
Anyway, they must be impeccable in all aspects to have a chance at being candidates.
After becoming a candidate, Su Chen still must personally inspect them before they can enter the manor.
"How about it, Lord Buddha, are you tempted?" Jin Zhimei chuckled, covering her mouth.
"Very tempted," Su Chen grinned mischievously, looking at Jin Zhimei.
"Lord Buddha, you should go for the interview first. You might not have the energy later..." Jin Zhimei understood Su Chen's gaze.
Despite those words, Su Chen only left Jin Zhimei's room an hour later.
Intending to meet the new woman at the manor.
If she's good, let her stay in the manor.
Su Chen arrived at the residential area next to the manor villa.
This is where they have living quarters.
The newly arrived woman hasn't gained Su Chen's approval, thus isn't qualified to live in the villa yet.
Only with Su Chen's approval could they occupy a room.
It feels just like the Huaxia emperor selecting concubines.
If not for bearing a deep-seated hatred.
Su Chen would just become this place's petty emperor.
Su Chen came to the front of the door.
He was about to knock but found the door ajar, so he simply pushed it open.
Then he saw a captivating figure.
Draped over that figure was a thin silk.
The woman was facing away from Su Chen, so her appearance wasn't visible.
But Su Chen wasn't worried.
Since she was selected through layers, she couldn't lack anywhere.
Damn, being the manor's lord is just too good.
Even immortals wouldn't trade places.
Originally, Su Chen became the manor's lord just to rescue the instructor. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩
But now, he really wants to be the manor's lord.
He slowly approached the woman.
Upon hearing footsteps, the woman's body seemed to tremble slightly.
Any woman would feel nervous about this situation.
Especially if she applied online.
The basic requirement is no past relationships.
Of course, since she's here, she must have prepared herself mentally.
Su Chen looked down at the woman like an art piece.
And ripped the silk away.
Suddenly, a sharp dagger was thrust toward Su Chen's chest.
Who could have thought there'd be a dagger hidden under the silk?
But Su Chen reacted swiftly, pinching the dagger with his fingers.
The opponent was obviously shocked by Su Chen's quick response and use of his fingers to catch the dagger.
Su Chen held the dagger and locked eyes with the female assassin.
And the female assassin looked at Su Chen with equal astonishment.
"Little soldier girl, I think you've definitely fallen in love with me. Was this your way to attract my attention?" Su Chen said, with a twitch in his cheek.
Indeed, this woman who interviewed to be his, waiting for his final inspection, is none other than Sui Feng, whom he met just hours earlier!
Was the task she mentioned an assassination attempt?
Moreover, to kill him, she went to such lengths.
But, even if the original Lord Buddha were here, with Sui Feng's skills, a sneak attack was unlikely to succeed.
Sui Feng was utterly speechless.
This was her third attempt to kill Su Chen.
The first time, at the farm.
The second time in the Horses' Fortune's villa.
This third time, in Lord Buddha's manor.
Yes, Sui Feng's task was an assassination attempt on Su Chen.
She learned that Lord Buddha was laden with immense crimes.
Because of him, a substantial amount of contraband enters Huaxia Country every year.
Thus, Sui Feng wanted to assassinate Lord Buddha before leaving.
She knew Lord Buddha must be heavily guarded, and his own skills might not be inferior.
Therefore, this was her only method.
Act when Lord Buddha's guard is lowest, only then could success be possible.
She was lucky, passing through layers of selection.
Finally, she secured a chance to meet Lord Buddha.
If she could kill Lord Buddha, it would be a huge benefit to Huaxia Country.
No, it would be good for the entire world.
Of course, Sui Feng also considered she might fail.
Then, death was inevitable for her.
So, she entrusted Su Chen with keeping the Jade Buddha.
Just, she never expected.
It wasn't Lord Buddha who came, but... Su Chen!
Even Sui Feng herself felt speechless.
Why is it every time I intend to kill, you just appear before me?
Is this the fabled destiny?
Both fell into confusion.
