When Xia Xiang arrived at the Jingzhou Building, she ran into them going to school. She originally wanted to send a telepathic message to Xiu, asking him to come and get the copy of the Azure Rainbow Purple Lightning, but she saw A Meng blocking the group and making them call him "senior".

Hiding in the corner, Xia Xiang rolled her eyes, completely baffled as to how they had ended up in this state.

Xia Xiang followed them all day and saw that because they didn't have money to pay their teacher's salary, the teacher only had ten minutes between classes to teach them. Because they lived too far from the restaurant, they didn't have lunch and no money for dinner, so Gan Zhaolie had to steal vegetables.

These poor children! But Xia Xiang just watched them all day without offering any help.

--the next day--

Xia Xiang knew that Sun Quan was going to invite them to dinner, and she immediately felt something was wrong. According to Xiao Ci's nanny, Ye Si Ti's attitude towards Xiu was very firm; she was determined to kill him.

It was indeed a trap, but Zhuge Liang, who was pretending to be weak while actually being strong, managed to avert several dangerous situations for them.

But on their way back, they were attacked—

"I can't make a move. They can handle this little thing," Xia Xiang muttered to herself, rubbing her hands together.

"They're just about two hundred well-equipped soldiers. Three out of those four are highly skilled. I wonder if that idiot is hiding his strength."

Seeing that the enemy's attacks were becoming increasingly fierce, Xiu had no choice but to use his supernatural abilities.

Seeing that they still had the strength to resist, Sun Quan, who was in the distance, ordered his men to switch to more powerful weapons.

For everyone's safety, Xiu had to overuse his powers, which caused him to vomit blood.

Xia Xiang endured it in the shadows for a moment, and just as she was about to go out, Da Qiao arrived and rescued the group.

Seeing that the group had been rescued, Xia Xiang escorted them back to the Cao family's courtyard. As she left, she saw the Happy Farm next door and a thought suddenly popped into her mind.

——

"Is the farm for sale?" Xia Xiang asked.

The old man on the farm flatly refused, giving her a disapproving look.

"Wait a minute," Xia Xiang said with a worried expression, "Uncle, have any strange things happened at your farm recently?"

"Well," the old man on the farm thought for a moment, then his expression changed.

"Did you lose some vegetables? And why was the vegetable garden inexplicably watered, weeded, and treated for pests, but you have no recollection of it?" Xia Xiang asked with a slightly anxious tone.

"How did you know!" the old man on the farm said, his face showing some fear.

"Actually, you've been targeted by something evil, you know?" Xia Xiang lowered her voice, her eyes scanning her surroundings warily.

The old man on the farm suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and the surrounding environment became extremely cold and damp.

"So you have to leave here and go to your other place in Jiangdong. You can only come back after I contact you." Xia Xiang secretly used mind control, then took out a bag of money and stuffed it into his hand.

The old farmer threw down his hoe, took the money, and strode away without the slightest hesitation.

A moment later, Xia Xiang, dressed in a floral country style outfit, went to Cao's Restaurant carrying a hoe.

Bang bang bang—

The loud knocking on the door broke the gloomy atmosphere inside. When everyone came to the door, they saw Xia Xiang with a fierce look on her face.

"Who! Stole my vegetables!" Xia Xiang slammed her hoe on the ground, making a harsh sound.

The expressions on their faces were complicated, and Gan Zhaolie immediately bowed and apologized.

"If apologies were enough, what would we need an army for?" Xia Xiang maintained her fierce demeanor to the end. "If you don't compensate me for my vegetables, I'm going to report you to the authorities!"

"I'm sorry, miss, we didn't mean it. How about this? We'll write an IOU first, and you can pay me back tenfold when you have the money later," Cao Cao said awkwardly.

"No way!" Xia Xiang refused outright. "You people are perfectly capable; how could you steal?"

"We are students from Dong Han Academy, and we have only recently arrived in Jiangdong. Please forgive us if we have offended you in any way." Xiu recognized Xia Xiang's face at a glance, but because their personalities were so different, he thought it was Xia Xiang's clone.

"We will definitely compensate you for the vegetables, please give us a few more days."

"Okay," Xia Xiang said.

But before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, they heard Xia Xiang say something else.

"However, I have one condition."
