Qin Luo, embarrassed, wiped her face again with her sleeve.
"Don't cry, don't cry. I was just a little worried."
The waiter specially poured her a cup of tea.
"Girl, I really didn't realize you were such a crybaby when we were chatting. You seem so strong, but you cry so much. Drink some water, you're all dried up from crying."
Qin Luo was amused by her humorous words, picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
"Oh, thank you, Sister Er. How are my two relatives? Can you wake them up?"
The waiter gestured with his chin toward the table next to him.
"He won't wake up; he's probably been terribly frightened. We should find a Taoist priest to take a look tomorrow. Sigh, what do you mean by that laughter..."
She paused for a moment as she spoke.
"Hey, where did that laughter go?"
Qin Luo and Wu Hua even pretended to prick up their ears and listen outside.
"It seems to be gone, baby, did you hear that?"
"No, I didn't hear a thing."
The waiter burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, it's finally stopped! Now everyone can get a good night's sleep, hahaha~"
Qin Luo and Wu Hua…
Seeing that she kept laughing, Qin Luo finally spoke up to stop her.
"Stop laughing. It's a good thing no one lives in this shop, or you would scare them to death."
Upon hearing this, the waiter immediately covered his mouth.
"Yes, yes, you're right. The shopkeeper is probably shivering under his blanket right now, hahaha~"
As she spoke, she covered her mouth and laughed again. Qin Luo quite liked her personality.
"What's your name? I can't keep calling you 'Second Sister,' it sounds too formal."
The waiter agreed and told her his name.
“My surname is Xiushan, and my given name is Wang. You can call me Sister Wang.”
“Okay, Sister Wang, my name is Gong Shanluo, and my younger sister is Gong Shanhua. I’m sorry to have troubled you tonight. Please don’t mind this small token of my appreciation.”
This time, Qin Luo didn't give her any money, but instead gave her a silver hairpin.
Xiushan gazed at the exquisite and elegant silver hairpin, momentarily unsure whether she should accept it.
She had never received such an expensive gift in her life, and she wanted to...
But her heart told her that Qin Luo considered her a friend, and she couldn't take advantage of him.
She pushed the hairpin back.
“You’ve already given me a reward, so I can’t accept this hairpin.”
Qin Luo seemed not to hear her words, stood up, and inserted the silver hairpin into her hair.
"Wang Jie is so beautiful. This hairpin is a perfect match for you. We will be staying in this city for a while longer, and we hope you will take good care of us in the future."
Xiushan Wang Taishu smoothed his hair.
"But this...this is too expensive."
"No matter how valuable an object is, it is not as valuable as friendship."
Upon hearing Qin Luo's words, Xiushan Wang no longer hesitated.
"Since you say so, I will accept this hairpin."
Then she took off the wooden bracelet from her wrist and put it into Qin Luo's hand.
"This wooden bracelet isn't worth much, but it's my most precious possession. I hope you won't find it too valuable."
Qin Luo naturally didn't mind and put the wooden bracelet on her wrist.
"I don't mind at all; how could I mind a gift from a friend?"
Both of them were laughing happily, but Wu Hua kept staring at the wooden bracelet.
"Sister Wang, your bracelet looks so shiny, where did you get it?"
Qin Luo hadn't paid much attention to it, but upon hearing what it said, he immediately took it down and examined it.
Only then did they realize that the material of the wooden bracelet was exactly the same as the wood shavings from Ti Yuan's original body.
However, perhaps due to prolonged wear, the sheen on the bracelet became too thick, completely obscuring it.
Dark wood has the power to calm the mind and ward off evil, so if Fanfan and Songsong hadn't been knocked unconscious by Wu Hua...
Wearing this wooden bracelet, she could actually wake people up by shouting. No wonder she said she could just shout and it would be enough.
Qin Luo was somewhat impatient, waiting for Xiushan Wang's reply.
When Xiushan Wang was asked a question by Wu Hua, his thoughts seemed to return to his childhood.
“This is an heirloom from my family. My mother gave it to me before she passed away. She said it was a gift from an ancestor who saved a seriously injured man and it would keep him safe.”
After she finished speaking, Qin Luo immediately asked...
"Can you tell the good from the bad in a person's heart at a glance? And can you even soothe a person's mind and calm their soul?"
After she asked the question, Xiushan Wang confirmed her statement.
“My mother told me that our ancestors were capable, but their descendants have become weaker and weaker, and I have become even weaker.”
As she spoke, she shifted her gaze to the two people slumped over the table.
Qin Luo and Wu Hua didn't want to tell her the truth, so they just made up an excuse.
“These two relatives of mine are different from others; they are not mature enough and may not understand what you are shouting.”
"Yes, yes, they're a bit silly."
Anyway, when the two of them wake up tomorrow, they'll be like a blank sheet of paper.
Having to learn everything from scratch is nothing short of foolish.
Xiushan looked at the two with some regret.
"What a waste of such a big guy. He looks older than me. How have you managed all these years?"
Seeing that she was kind-hearted, Qin Luo's eyes lit up and he came up with a good idea.
She used her supernatural powers to clean the wooden bracelet and put it back on Xiushan Wang's wrist.
Seeing this, Xiushan assumed she didn't like it anymore, and her eyes were filled with anxiety and sadness.
Qin Luo immediately explained upon seeing this.
"Sister Wang, it's not that I dislike this bracelet."
Upon hearing this, Xiushan Wang stopped what he was doing and looked at her questioningly.
Qin Luo pointed to the wooden bracelet on her wrist.
“This is an heirloom of your ancestors, a relic of your mother, and a rare treasure, so I cannot accept it.”
Xiushan Wang raised his arm and looked at it again and again, but no matter how he looked at it...
Everyone thought it was just an ordinary, dark, broken piece of wood.
Seeing her confusion, Qin Luo had no choice but to explain gently to her.
"This bracelet is made of ebony and can ward off evil spirits, bring peace and protect the home. It can also help you see through people's hearts. It is a rare treasure."
