Yun Zheng thought for a moment after hearing this, then nodded seriously and said, "I am indeed from a remote area. The place is so remote that you may not have even heard of it."

"Then you are so rich?" Tu Ningning said in disbelief.

Yun Zheng smiled. She couldn't possibly explain to Tu Ningning right now that these crystal jades were obtained through counter-robbery, right?

She raised her eyes and calmly glanced at the people lying in ambush around her. Her heart moved slightly, and then she said to Tu Ningning gently: "Perhaps, I will answer this question for you soon."

"Okay." Tu Ningning nodded and kindly reminded, "Actually, you don't have to tell me. We haven't known each other for long. You should be more careful of others when you are out there."

Yun Zheng was a little surprised, so she chuckled, "What do you want to buy? I'll go with you."

Tu Ningning pointed to the right.

"Go over there, down that street. They have all the rune elixirs and other things you want. I'll also buy some food on the way."

"OK."

The two of them walked together, and Yun Zheng first bought rune books, runes, and some pill recipes, spending a full 30 million crystal jades.

When Tu Ningning saw Yun Zheng pay, even though the money wasn't hers, she couldn't help but feel a pang of envy and heartache. She couldn't help but feel a deep sense of doubt: Was Rong Zheng really from a remote area? Was Rong Zheng really not from a wealthy family? Did Rong Zheng feel heartbroken when she spent the crystal jade?

Is Rong Zheng really not a spendthrift girl?

Tu Ningning bit her handkerchief silently, staring at the storage ring that Yun Zheng had handed over to her boss with envy and heartache.

So rich!

After buying these runes, pills, and other things, Tu Ningning couldn't help but move closer to Yun Zheng, staring at her with sparkling eyes, and said, "Sister Rong Zheng, do you still need someone to manage your finances? I think I can do it. I'll help you bargain in the future! Can you give me a little bit of the change after the bargaining?"

Yun Zheng: “…”

Yun Zheng laughed and handed a seemingly unremarkable storage ring to Tu Ningning. "I don't lack money to manage the money, but I will definitely pay you a lot. Thank you for helping me bargain just now. You can keep these."

Tu Ningning was stunned. After she came to her senses, she said with a subtle expression: "That's not what I meant. I don't want to ask you for this money..."

As she spoke, she wanted to return the storage ring to Yun Zheng.

But Yun Zheng stopped him and said with a smile, "I wanted to give it to you just now. If you don't accept it, I will feel bad. After all, we haven't known each other for a long time, and you have helped me so much. I can't let you suffer the loss all the time."

Tu Ningning shook her head and still refused to accept it.

"No, I just said a few words to bargain. How can I take your crystal jade? Take it back now!"

Seeing Yun Zheng was unmoved, Tu Ningning deliberately put on a sullen face and said, "If you consider me a friend, take these crystals back. If you just consider me a passerby, I will accept them. Rong Zheng, you make your choice."

Yun Zheng was stunned for a moment, her eyes became dark and floating, and a smile gradually appeared in her eyes.

She lowered her eyes and smiled as she took back the storage ring. Then, she silently patted Tu Ningning's shoulder.

Seeing this, Tu Ningning was very happy. She already regarded Yun Zheng as an ordinary friend in her heart. As for whether they could become real friends in the future, no one could say.

"I'll call you Zheng Zheng from now on. It has a reduplicated character just like my name."

The woman was bathed in the golden afterglow. Her originally soft and long hair seemed to be stained with golden light. Her almond-shaped eyes were black and smiling, and her round face looked extremely cute and bright.

Somehow, this scene was deeply engraved in Yun Zheng's mind, so much so that she would remember the existence of such a woman for many, many years to come.

Yun Zheng raised the corners of her lips slightly and nodded.

"good."

Yun Zheng added, "Let me treat you to some spiritual fruit."

"Then I won't be polite." Tu Ningning raised an eyebrow. She put her arm around Yun Zheng's shoulders affectionately, and her whole person became much more 'generous'. "Let me tell you, the spiritual fruits in that spiritual fruit shop on Qinwen Street are expensive and not tasty. I'll take you to Guolinglou on Qinwu Street. I know the owner there, and we can bargain for a price."

"Have you lived in Qincheng since you were a child?" Yun Zheng couldn't help but ask when she heard her tone that was so familiar with the shops in Qincheng.

Tu Ningning's eyes dimmed slightly, but she quickly regained her smiling expression. "Yes, it's been more than twenty years."

"Where are your family members?"

"Dead."

Tu Ningning answered easily, with a hint of indifference in her tone.

Yun Zheng turned her head to look at Tu Ningning's profile. Just when she was about to express her apology for her slip of the tongue, she saw Tu Ningning's eyes light up and she looked at the luxurious restaurant in front of her with great interest.

Tu Ningning excitedly introduced: "Zheng Zheng, the Yushenglou in front is the best restaurant in our Qin City. There are so many delicious dishes in there, such as big pig's trotters, braised pork, and egg yolk soup..."

"Let me take you to try it."

After saying that, she grabbed Yun Zheng's wrist and pulled her to Yusheng Tower.

Yun Zheng looked at Tu Ningning and had a vague guess in her heart. Tu Ningning didn't want to mention her family, and she didn't want to continue the previous topic for fear of touching Ningning's sore spot.

Yun Zheng smiled and said, "I haven't eaten these foods for a long time."

Tu Ningning replied: "Then you will have a treat today."

Tu Ningning held Yun Zheng's hand, and just as they were about to step into the restaurant, someone deliberately rushed over and bumped Tu Ningning's shoulder hard.

"Ah!" Tu Ningning cried out in pain.

Yun Zheng raised her hand to steady Tu Ningning's body, and swept her cold eyes in the direction of the man. She saw that the person who deliberately bumped into Tu Ningning was a young man. He had an acceptable appearance, but his whole body was full of nonchalant and ruffian temperament, like a gangster who wandered the streets all day.

But his clothing and appearance showed that he was not an ordinary spiritual cultivator.

Behind him, there were two people, a man and a woman.

The woman in the pink floral dress fixed her gaze on the snowflake mark between Tu Ningning's eyebrows. A hint of sarcasm flashed through her eyes as she covered her face and sneered, "Ah, Tu Ningning, how did you get chosen to serve as a handyman in the Desolate State's Divine Sea? Well, we in Qin City won't tolerate someone as lowly as you."

Yun Zheng's eyes flashed, and before she could make a move, Tu Ningning domineeringly protected her behind her.

Tu Ningning chuckled and counterattacked:

"Lin Xianmei, I'm contributing to the temple. I can't compare to a scumbag like you who doesn't even have the chance to contribute to the temple."

As she spoke, Tu Ningning's gaze shifted to the young man who bumped into her shoulder, and she looked him up and down with disdain.

"Lin Ziping, you're already small, and now you're blind. You just bump into people like a mad dog. Don't blame me for knocking your head off later!"
