Jiang Yuan's words made Liu Zhaodi look embarrassed; they were undoubtedly very hurtful.
Seeing Liu Zhaodi at a loss, Jiang Yuan softened his heart after being angry. He said without any other emotion, "Forget it, don't meddle in my affairs. You'll only get yourself into trouble!"
Liu Zhaodi lowered her head and took out a book from behind her. It was the Four Seasons Spear Technique that Jiang Yuan had seen before.
"This is a gift for you. Thank you for helping me with the auction last time!"
After saying this in disappointment, Liu Zhaodi gently placed the book on the bed and then pushed open the door to leave.
Jiang Yuan watched as Liu Zhaodi put down the item worth over a thousand ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones. He felt a pang of reluctance, but after a moment's hesitation, he called out, "Are you just leaving like this?"
"I'm sorry!" Liu Zhaodi bowed deeply, her eyes red.
"I didn't ask you to apologize!" Jiang Yuan sighed, then continued, "You probably haven't eaten yet since you came so early, why don't you stay and have breakfast with us!"
"Is it okay?" Liu Zhaodi's worry turned to joy.
"It's fine if you don't eat it, I won't feel guilty anyway!" Jiang Yuan turned around and put away the Four Seasons Spear Technique.
Seeing that Jiang Yuan had put away his cultivation technique, Liu Zhaodi's expression softened a little. She quickly agreed, "I'm hungry too, so I'll stay and eat with you!"
"Also, don't tell anyone about this! I don't want to cause trouble during this time!" Jiang Yuan reminded him again.
Neither the identity of a sworn apostle nor Jiang Yuan's identity is very useful in Nancheng, since both identities are more or less connected with the Nancheng warlords.
"Hehe, I promise I'll keep it a secret!" Liu Zhaodi smiled to reassure Jiang Yuan.
"Let's go eat!"
...
"Oh, right, Jiang Yuan! I have something else to discuss with you this time!" Liu Zhaodi, who was eating millet porridge with roasted meat from a ninth-tier spirit beast, suddenly looked up.
"Miss, you shouldn't talk while eating or sleeping. You just spat out your food!" Jiang Yuan was exasperated by Liu Zhaodi.
"No, do you remember the Chen family father and son who auctioned off the sacred coffin last time?" Liu Zhaodi put down her chopsticks and asked seriously.
Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow and said, "Isn't your auction house supposed to keep client information confidential? How would I know who it is!"
“You’ve been away from Nancheng for several days, so you probably don’t know yet. Actually, the Chen family father and son were exposed the next day when they received the Holy Spirit Stones from the auction of the Holy Coffin. However, you and the other three people took Chen Song away and divided 250,000 ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones among them! As for the remaining half of the Holy Spirit Stones, they are in Chen Xinghuai’s hands.” Liu Zhaodi paused here.
"What about Chen Xinghuai?" Jiang Yuan was not satisfied with this result. They had saved the lives of the Chen family father and son. Even if they were not fortunate enough to enjoy the powerful opportunity of the Holy Coffin, they were still bound by oath to receive their wealth.
"They're in the hands of the Shen and Ji families!"
Liu Zhaodi continued solemnly, "The warlord had already displeased the three families by seizing the auction house's items, so they didn't get involved in Chen Xinghuai's matter! And as the organizer of this trade fair, my Liu family can't openly deal with the customers, so we haven't intervened for the time being!"
"However, Chen Xinghuai still has more than 240,000 ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones in his hands. Who can resist such temptation?"
Liu Zhaodi gave Jiang Yuan a wink, the meaning of which was clear: cooperation.
If you can't deal with it openly, then deal with it covertly. If you can't intervene for the time being, then wait for the right opportunity to intervene. Families are all about interests, and Liu Zhaodi is quite aware of this.
"Miss, you should find someone else!" Jiang Yuan politely declined. His current goals were the mine behind the bronze gate and the ancient ruins that Ning Yanlan and the others had visited.
"But I've heard that the Ji family has a good relationship with you. Now that the Ji family is undergoing changes, don't you plan to go and take a look?" Liu Zhaodi asked casually.
"The Ji family has undergone changes! What does that mean?" Jiang Yuan frowned and stopped eating.
"Do you remember who the Ji family invited to the last auction?" Liu Zhaodi asked, keeping everyone in suspense.
“Holy Spirit!” Jiang Yuan’s chopsticks twitched.
"right!"
Liu Zhaodi nodded, and said mysteriously, "I heard that in order to infiltrate the Ji family, the Holy Spirit secretly supported a branch of the Ji family, which means that the main Ji family is already dead in name only! The recent violation of the auction house's rules to forcibly detain Chen Xinghuai was also the idea of the Ji family branch, and the Shen family just happened to find an excuse to go along with it!"
"Is that so?" Jiang Yuan moved his chopsticks rhythmically, as if he was considering something.
"Think it over carefully!"
Liu Zhaodi nodded, then looked at the others. Upon seeing Shi Xuyao and Lin Man, she asked curiously, "Are you two also friends of my Jiang Yuan?"
"Please don't be so polite, young lady. We are master and disciple, not friends!" Although Shi Xuyao was a little confused, he could tell from his master's attitude that the woman's relationship with his master was not particularly close.
"Greetings, Master's wife!" the clever and mischievous Lin Man blurted out.
Jiang Yuan's hand holding the chopsticks trembled. He coughed and deliberately asked, "Lin Man, do you have any other chefs?"
"No!" Lin Man shook her head innocently.
"Then where did your teacher's wife come from?" Jiang Yuan asked meaningfully.
Lin Man: "..."
"Alright, alright, I'll give you a gift!" Although Liu Zhaodi came unprepared, she was already at the ninth level of strength, and given her high position in the family, she couldn't possibly be short of valuable items.
Liu Zhaodi got up in just a few minutes, and then brought out six exquisite little gifts, including one for each of the two little ones.
"This is yours!"
"And yours too!"
...
"Of course, everyone gets a share!"
Six gifts were given out, and Shi Xuyao and the other three people, along with the two pigs, all received one. Jiang Yuan, however, seemed to have been forgotten, sitting there quietly drinking his porridge.
After all the gifts had been given, Jiang Yuan slowly said, "The words have been spoken and the gifts have been given, so it's time to see the guests off!"
"Well, actually I'm free today, I can stay here all day!" Liu Zhaodi wasn't disappointed by the rejection, but instead became excited and wanted to stay.
In her opinion, relentless pursuit is the best way to start a relationship.
"I have something to do, I don't have time to play with you!" Jiang Yuan put down his chopsticks, got up and walked outside.
“I’m not playing with you, I can play with these older brothers and sisters!” Liu Zhaodi turned her gaze to Shi Xuyao and Lin Man.
"They're not available either!"
Lin Man was about to speak, but Jiang Yuan answered for them directly.
The two could only smile wryly and say, "We really don't have time!"
"Jiang Yuan, can't I even stay for a little while?" Liu Zhaodi gritted her teeth in anger.
"No way!" Jiang Yuan refused without hesitation.
"Then you wait, I'll go back and buy the campsite, and then I can stay here as long as I want!" Liu Zhaodi said angrily.
"What did you say, buy a campsite?" Jiang Yuan turned around and flicked his half-length black hair, which he hadn't cut in over half a month.
“Yes, the camp is dilapidated. The original camp organization planned to sell it, and it’s already listed on the trading center!” Liu Zhaodi said proudly.
