What kind of girl would travel to another world?

Chapter 151: You Jiahui's daily life. - Dangerous and exciting!

The previous chapter mentioned that in the early morning, You Jiahui walked alone to the construction site where houses were being built.

After seeing that Overseer Oakley was alone, You Jiahui finally asked the question she had raised yesterday. She wanted to know how the Merchant Guild had managed to find so many construction workers, all of whom were half-elves.

You Jiahui felt a little uncomfortable asking such a question yesterday in front of so many half-elf construction workers. If it were the other three girls, they would have asked it without thinking, which shows that You Jiahui is slightly more cautious than the other three girls.

Today, only You Jiahui and the supervisor Oakley were left to talk alone, so she no longer had any reservations and asked directly.

After hearing You Jiahui's question, Okri, the supervisor, shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't understand. He told You Jiahui, "Sir Knight, I don't know what's going on either. There's just suddenly been so many half-elves, and I've never heard that the guild leader has any connections with them before..."

There are very few half-elf builders in Stylas Odin. Apart from the tall humans, the majority of builders are dwarfs, followed by half-demon builders.

Afterwards, You Jiahui walked and talked with the supervisor, Okri. After all, they were working on their own territory, so she had to inspect it.

After a while, the previous designer also came here, and the supervisor Oakley conveyed You Jiahui's questions to the designer.

The designer explained to You Jiahui, "Sir Knight, I heard from the Guild Master that these people also want to rent a piece of land in your territory for farming, so they came here to work as construction workers. Don't underestimate them because they may not be as good as the dwarves in construction. They are actually quite good at building wooden structures. I heard that they are all very skilled."

Okri, the supervisor, had a look of sudden enlightenment on his face. He muttered, "No wonder the president said we could complete the construction in seven days. I thought it was impossible at the time. Since they are all experienced builders, there shouldn't be any big problems."

You Jiahui's face lit up with joy as she said to the designer, "Let alone building houses for the residents, even if they just settle down in this newly built village, that would be a good thing."

The designer said to You Jiahui, "Well, the president also said that they are not like other high-level people who always settle and farm in one place. They may move to a new place every few years."

Okri, the supervisor, looked skeptical and said to the designer, "Is there such a thing? I've never heard of it."

The designer looked disgusted and said to the supervisor Oakley: "You don't farm."

Okri, the supervisor, was also unconvinced and said to the designer, "You're still blaming me, but you don't farm either."

Just like that, the two of them started bickering over a disagreement.

Seeing the two of them about to bicker, You Jiahui watched from the side, observing them from the corner of her eye. Since arriving in this other world, she had rarely seen people bickering so closely.

After the bickering between the two members of the Merchants Guild came to a halt, You Jiahui asked the designer, "Where are they from?"

Overseer Oakley quickly answered, telling You Jiahui, "Just on the western border, there's an area full of half-elven tribes. The roads there are rugged and mountainous, and our Chamber of Commerce never goes there, and we don't have much of a connection there."

The designer continued to explain to You Jiahui, "Most of the half-elf tribes are highly skilled in martial arts, especially archery. Many serve in the military. To win over the half-elf tribes, the king allowed the half-elves to move freely throughout the country. They can farm wherever they want."

Overseer Oakley said to the designer, "I see. That makes sense. The king has spoken, so the other nobles wouldn't dare to restrict their departure in any way."

The designer said to the supervisor, Oakley: "You don't farm, but you know so much! What do you know about everything in this world? Explain it all!"

And so, the two began bickering again.

The speaker had no intention, but the listener took it to heart. You Jiahui had no intention of restricting the free movement of half-elves, but there were more things to consider later. As for the bickering between Overseer Oakley and the designer's acquaintance, as an outsider, she didn't intend to pay any attention.

Having said that, these half-elf construction workers are actually from the "Hidden Mountain Sect". Later, there will be other half-elves who have received letters from the chief of the "Hidden Mountain Sect" through carrier pigeons and will arrive. Their purpose is to find arable land everywhere in this country.

It was such a coincidence that the Hidden Mountain Sect happened to be the tribe where Qi Xinyang was currently learning martial arts. It was unbelievable that the two girls were indirectly connected in this way. If Qi Xinyang hadn't brought "Xiao Ye" to the Hidden Mountain Sect, the chieftain of the Hidden Mountain Sect wouldn't have instructed his people to come here to find farmland.

Afterwards, the three of them were talking as they walked, but it could basically be seen as the supervisor Oakley and the designer bickering.

Just when You Jiahui was letting the two of them bicker fiercely, a key figure was getting closer and closer to the three of them. That person was Ding Lei from the "Yinshan Sect"!

You Jiahui noticed that all the houses were drawn far apart, so she asked the designer, "Why are the houses so far apart?"

The designer told You Jiahui, "They can't be too close. You have to leave a yard for people to grow vegetables. Some people also want to raise livestock, plant trees, or build a pond to raise fish. If they're too close, it will cause a lot of trouble and neighbors will easily get into disputes."

You Jiahui muttered to herself, "Oh. So that's it." Then she thought about it again and felt that what the designer did made sense.

When the designer saw Ding Lei not far away, he said to You Jiahui, "By the way! Let me introduce someone to you." After that, she waved and called towards Ding Lei, motioning him to come over.

The designer said to Ding Lei, "This is the Knight! This territory belongs to her." Then, she said to You Jiahui, "This is Ding Lei! He's the leader of these construction workers."

Ding Lei saluted You Jiahui directly, but You Jiahui quickly stopped him and said, "You don't need to salute when you are working!" Then, she saw that Ding Lei looked like a young man, so she said to Ding Lei, "You are so young, but you can do so much!" When she said this, she forgot that she was only sixteen years old.

Ding Lei humbly said to You Jiahui, "No, no, I can't say I've done anything. Sir Knight, I spoke to the president for too long yesterday, so I didn't come to visit you."

Wanting to attract the half-elves to settle permanently in her territory, You Jiahui was extremely enthusiastic about Ding Lei, the leader. She quickly said to Ding Lei, "Don't worry, you can come anytime. I welcome you here. If you have time, please stop by my mansion. I have a few people there who I'd like to introduce you to."

Ding Lei said to You Jiahui, "Thank you for your hospitality, Sir Knight. I'm afraid I can't stay here for long. Now that everything has been settled, I should be leaving for the tribe tomorrow."

The designer looked incredulous and quickly asked Ding Lei, "Is it so hasty?"

Ding Lei told the designer, "I've been very busy these days. I went to other places before. I really can't stop for a moment."

Several thoughts flashed through You Jiahui's mind at this moment, and she thought, "Other places?" She began to wonder whether other lords had also received so much help.

Supervisor Okri said to Ding Lei, "If you are really busy, it's no problem to leave this to me alone. You can go without worry."

Ding Lei nodded, then continued to talk to You Jiahui and the other three, "There are nearly a hundred of us coming down the mountain with me this time, and those still on the mountain will follow soon. Add to that the tribesmen already outside, and there will be even more. So, this time the arrangements were really a bit hectic and too hasty."

The designer said to Ding Lei, "You've put a lot of effort into this."

Ding Lei said to the designer, "Thanks to finding your president, we were able to arrange this smoothly. Please thank your president for me when you go back. Thank you very much!"

You Jiahui roughly counted the number of half-elf construction workers and found that there were not a hundred, only about fifty. She asked Ding Lei, "You just mentioned 'other places'. Did you arrange for many people to go to those 'other places' this time?"

Ding Lei replied to You Jiahui, "Yes. Although some of the tribesmen have gone elsewhere, with those who will come here later and those who are currently building houses, there will be at least thirty families by then."

You Jiahui originally wanted to try to find out which lord also received help from the half-elves, but Ding Lei's answer did not reveal it.

Even so, upon hearing that other half-elves would be arriving later, You Jiahui happily said to Ding Lei, "That's a huge help! My territory is in need of new settlers."

Ding Lei suddenly looked troubled. He said to You Jiahui, "Well...don't have too high expectations, because these tribesmen may not stay here forever. If anyone wants to stay long-term, they will take in the elderly and children who remain in the tribe as well."

You Jiahui nodded and thought, "I just heard about this from the designer." Then she asked Ding Lei, "Is your tribe far from here?"

Ding Lei told You Jiahui, "It's not bad. If you're not familiar with the mountain roads here, it might seem a bit far, and it's normal to walk for more than a month. We sped up our pace this time, so we arrived in just ten days."

Let me interject here. Actually, Ding Lei wasn't telling the truth. If they took the secret path, it would only take them five days to reach Stylas Odin.

The tribes of the Half-Elven Tribal Alliance were all quite thoughtful. They always had their own secrets, to prevent outsiders from invading them easily.

Then let me talk about why Qi Xinyang took so long. It was because they were originally walking slowly along the way and were not familiar with the mountain roads there, so they wandered around aimlessly for more than a month.

After listening to Ding Lei's story, You Jiahui asked, "Oh, so that's it. Since you live in the mountains, there shouldn't be any outsiders coming to your tribe, right?"

Ding Lei told You Jiahui, "If you're interested, Sir Knight, you can come visit us. We'll definitely welcome you. Just be careful on the road and avoid the half-demon tribes, otherwise you might be robbed."

After hearing this, You Jiahui became curious and said to Ding Lei, "That's quite dangerous."

Ding Lei said to You Jiahui, "That's really dangerous. By the way, a little girl from your country brought two boys to our tribe a while ago. I don't know if they are still in our tribe..."

You Jiahui's sharp intuition told her the answer without Ding Lei even saying Qi Xinyang's name. But she still tentatively asked Ding Lei, "How dare a few kids run around? Are they adventurers?"

Ding Lei told You Jiahui, "Yes! I heard they are adventurers."

You Jiahui immediately confirmed the answer in her mind and thought to herself, "Qi Xinyang, you're such a good person! Instead of staying in the city, you actually ran off to the mountains. What evil plan are you planning this time..."

After hearing this, Overseer Oakley became curious. He asked Ding Lei, "Did they come to your tribe because of a mission from the Adventurer's Guild?"

After a brief pause, Ding Lei told the overseer, Okri, "No. They were just wandering around and happened to walk into our place."

Ding Lei couldn't tell anyone that his tribe was teaching martial arts to outsiders without the chief's permission, so he had to keep it secret.

You Jiahui simply didn't believe it. She crossed her arms again, thinking, "Really? I have a feeling that this 'traitor' isn't just out for fun; there's definitely more to come. The designer just mentioned half-elves' exceptional martial arts skills. Could this be related?"

You Jiahui's intuition is incredibly sharp. I wonder if anyone knows someone like her. Not only was she suspicious, but she also seemed to be able to "tell fortunes," directly guessing that Qi Xinyang was going in the direction of martial arts.

At this moment, a half-elf builder was standing on the roof laying thatch. He accidentally lost his balance and was about to fall off the roof.

Amid the exclamations of the crowd, Ding Lei reacted immediately. He picked up a long stick from the ground and hurried forward.

Just as the construction worker fell from the roof, Ding Lei arrived not far away with a long stick.

It happened so quickly! Just as the builder was about to fall to the ground, Ding Lei reached out with his long stick and used the far end of the stick to catch the builder falling from the roof.

The construction worker stood safely on the ground, still in shock. When he saw that he was not injured, he immediately thanked Ding Lei.

Ding Lei not only demonstrated his reaction, speed and strength, but also his control of the landing point and balance point was perfect.

With this display of hard work, Ding Lei directly attracted warm cheers from the audience!

You Jiahui, who saw this scene, became even more certain of her previous guess. She didn't believe Qi Xinyang was just going up the mountain to play; he must be going to learn martial arts from the half-elves.

You Jiahui folded her arms, staring at Ding Lei's back, lost in thought. She thought, "It seems that Ding Lei, for some reason, doesn't want to reveal the truth. Is it because he can't let outsiders know that the traitor is learning martial arts? But why..."

Although You Jiahui wanted to know the reason, she didn't intend to expose Ding Lei's concealment in person. Unlike the other three girls, she still understood a little about the ways of the world.

After the cheers died down, You Jiahui went up to Ding Lei and praised him. After a few more words with him, she and the designer continued to inspect the construction site.

Then, very quickly, You Jiahui had basically finished her inspection.

The designer who was about to leave said to You Jiahui, "The president asked me to tell you that we may have more large domesticated beasts to place on your territory in the future, so the rent can be deducted."

After hearing this, You Jiahui was so happy that she almost jumped up, but fortunately, she still had her usual self-control, so she held it in. She smiled and said to the designer, "That's great! I have a lot of space here, it's perfect for storing all of this!"

Afterwards, the designer went on to say to You Jiahui, "The guild has already sent people to build sheds and fences on the grassy slope that you and our president mentioned before, and has also assigned special personnel to guard it. If you are free, you can go and take a look." After that, she said goodbye to You Jiahui.

Although You Jiahui wanted to go to the grassy slope to see the white-haired musk deer, she had to take a carriage instead of a horse for this move. Furthermore, she would have to ask Yang Mingyi or Torsi to help drive the carriage back to the mansion, so she simply gave up.

Well, there was nothing much for You Jiahui to say that day. You Yang and the other two members of the adventure team were all waiting for news from Uribian...
