"Just out of curiosity, you'd be willing to pay such a high price to fight me to the death? I don't believe it."
Anle shrugged with a forced smile, "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do." Then he shrugged and walked away.
"You're leaving already? Aren't you afraid I'll expose your trip to the Red City Auction House?"
Anle turned around and said, "I just don't want them to find out and ask me all sorts of questions. If you insist on telling anyone, then there's nothing I can do. Do as you please."
Anle's face showed obvious displeasure, and she was somewhat disgusted by the boy's threat.
Is this an attempt to threaten her into revealing the stone? How could she possibly tell? That concerns her system, Tianyuan, a secret she absolutely cannot disclose.
"Are you angry?" Helsin chuckled. The little girl certainly had a temper.
Anle turned and left without looking back, not wanting to pay any more attention to Helsin.
She was disgusted by this guy back then, and he made her spend so much money.
Now they're trying to threaten her again, what a piece of trash.
Helsin followed closely behind Anle, returning with her with a somewhat shameless air, and went with her to Yan Qingxue's side.
Anle, unable to contain herself any longer, turned and glared at Helsin. "What are you doing following me?"
"Of course I'll go with you and expose your trip to the Red City Auction House," Helsin said with a hint of teasing, then added with a smile to justify himself.
"Just kidding, how could I possibly say that? You were invited here as a guest by this Miss Yan, weren't you?"
What a coincidence! We were also invited by Lord Yan to be guests, and we just happened to run into each other.
What a coincidence! Let's get to know each other and become friends. Of course, you're so young, you can be my little sister too.
Anle sneered, "I never said I wanted to be friends with you, and I don't need another brother."
Not wanting to play along with Helsin any longer, Anle left no room for negotiation.
Helsin seemed completely unconcerned, simply smiling as he spoke.
"If you still care about the money from before, I'll give it all back to you. I don't lack money, I just lack a friend like you."
Anle paused, raised an eyebrow, and looked up at Helsin.
Wow, those words are really pleasing to the ear.
Anle simply spread his hands in front of Helsin, looking self-righteous and entitled, and spoke without any politeness.
"Okay, give it to me. If you give it to me, I'll be your friend."
Helsin paused for a moment, then genuinely laughed out loud. "You little girl, are you really after that little bit of money? Look at your petty nature, yet you were so generous in taking that stone." As he spoke, he truly took out a silver note from his purse and stuffed it into Anle's hand.
"This is all the silver notes I have on me for now. Take them first, and I'll send the rest to your residence when we get back. Tell me your address, and I'll have someone deliver them to you without missing a single one."
Now it was Anle's turn to be stunned. She looked at the silver note in her hand and blinked.
Haha, this kid actually gave it to her! She thought it was just a polite remark, something nice to say.
Are you calm now?
Anle paused for a moment, then casually stuffed the silver note into her waist pouch.
"Okay, since you're so generous, I'll be your friend."
Helsing made a sarcastic remark.
"You're really not hiding your mercenary nature at all; you're quite the character."
"Are you praising me or insulting me?" Anle rolled her eyes and continued walking inside.
"Didn't you receive an invitation from the city lord? Why aren't you going? What are you doing following me?"
"You haven't told me your address yet. How am I supposed to deliver the money to your door when I get back?"
Anle waved her hand, "No need, this is enough."
"Now that we've become friends, how am I supposed to find you if you don't tell me your address?"
Anle paused, tilted her head, stared at Helsin for two seconds, and then suddenly smiled, a smile with a deeper meaning.
"Hey, isn't your family a very wealthy business family? How about we become business partners instead of just friends?"
Helsing was momentarily stunned. A business partner?
This is the first time I've heard such a novel term.
However, this sentence successfully piqued his interest.
"What do you mean?"
Anle smiled and said, "It means that our cooperation will be mutually beneficial and win-win. In terms of business, I also happen to be someone who does some small business."
We also need some partners, and I'd be happy to become your business partner.
Helsing then began to seriously examine Anle.
"Hehe, little girl, you're already running a business at such a young age? We're really the same kind of people. What kind of business do you run?"
"Doing everything, then—"
Helsin followed Anle all the way, and the two had not gone far when they met Yan Qingxue who came out to greet them. The conversation stopped there, Anle stopped talking, waved to Yan Qingxue, and ran a few steps with a smile.
"Beautiful sister, I'm here."
Yan Qingxue was still staring blankly at Helsin's face, even though Xiaoya had told her that the young master of the He family was with her little cousin.
But seeing the two of them chatting so amiably and getting along so well, I was a little stunned. I didn't expect my little cousin to know the young master of the He family. It seemed like the two of them had a pretty good relationship.
"Little cousin, you know Young Master He?" Yan Qingxue tilted her head and asked in surprise.
"We know each other, but we're not close."
Helsing smiled. "I presume it's Miss Yan?" Helsing nodded politely to Yan Qingxue; of course, he knew who she was.
There was a portrait of him before, and I ran into him again later in the Jincheng Commercial Building, but he deliberately avoided me.
This time, they came to us on their own initiative.
His parents meant that the Yan family intended to form a marriage alliance with the He family, which is why he was brought to the Yan family's door as a guest.
The purpose was simply to get to know this Miss Yan.
Of course, the Yan family has two young ladies who are of marriageable age, but he really doesn't know which one it is.
“Oh, yes, since Young Master He is here, why don’t you come in and sit down with us? It seems you two still have things to talk about.” Yan Qingxue turned her head and glanced at An Le.
Her appearance just now seemed to have interrupted their conversation.
She vaguely heard two sentences, which seemed to be about some business.
Helsen did not refuse upon hearing this, and followed Yan Qingxue into the small hall in the courtyard with a warm smile, his eyes fixed on Anle, "I didn't expect you to have such a wide circle of acquaintances, even knowing Miss Yan."
Anle nodded with a smile, "It was an unexpected fate that I met you, beautiful sister. It's all about destiny."
Helsing laughed.
"So, as you said, our relationship is one of fate, a connection that allows us to work together?"
