She knew it was stolen; her father hadn't lied to her.
What Ning Qiluo didn't expect was that she was only fifteen years old, yet she acted so arrogantly.
They actually snatched something directly from Jiang Yingchi, and it was such an expensive one!
She couldn't bear to do it, and she also felt deeply guilty.
Ning Qiluo returned the dog-beating stick to Jiang Yingchi: "Back then, I was young and ignorant and took your things. Now... I'm returning it to its rightful owner. It's not too late for me to compensate you for your emotional distress, is it?"
"Too late."
"..."
Jiang Yingchi raised her chin slightly and said in a cold voice, "What you're trying to steal isn't this jade bamboo joint, it's me."
"..."
Ning Qiluo looked regretful.
Look at her back then, she wouldn't do anything that involved people!
Oh right, what did Jiang Yingchi say this dog-beating stick was called again?
Jade bamboo joint?
What a beautiful name, what a waste of her.
She was still thinking of returning it, but now, it's definitely going to be very difficult to do so.
But out of guilt, Ning Qiluo handed the ancient book in her hand to Jiang Yingchi: "My father said that when I gave you this ancient book, you didn't want it. It must be very valuable to be kept in the treasure room. Consider it my compensation to you. It would definitely fetch a sky-high price if it were auctioned."
Jiang Yingchi picked up the scissors and continued pruning the flower branches.
Ning Qiluo said sincerely, "I was ignorant before, but I am more sensible now. After hearing what my father told me, I felt really guilty. Don't worry, I won't ask you for a single penny of the sky-high price that the ancient book fetched at auction."
That's all I've said.
Jiang Yingchi still ignored her.
Ning Qiluo said, "Then we won't auction it off. You can take it and practice your divine skill yourself!"
Jiang Yingchi: "There's absolutely no need for that."
He finally paid attention to her.
Ning Qiluo's face lit up with joy, and then she heard him say, "Throw it away."
Ning Qiluo: "..."
Throw it away?
This is a very valuable item, and you're just going to throw it away like that?
She couldn't bear to part with it!
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Jiang Yingchi say again, "Or, it would be good to sell it as waste paper."
Ning Qiluo didn't like hearing this, and was even a little angry. Looking at his harsh profile, she asked, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Jiang Yingchi glanced at her, his expression truly indescribable.
In the end, he simply said, "Turn the ancient book over and look at the bottom right corner."
What's in the bottom right corner?
Although she was puzzled, she did as instructed.
So they turned the ancient book over and looked at the bottom right corner to see what it might contain.
The result is:
Barcode + Item Number + Price: 9.9 yuan
Ning Qiluo: "..."
Wow!
What about her exorbitant price?
9.9 yuan? ??
'Snap-'
Ning Qiluo slapped the book on her forehead.
She actually forgot that she's also stingy...
She said that she couldn't believe she was so generous as to reciprocate with an ancient book of unparalleled martial arts techniques...
Jiang Yingchi took the 9.9-rated ancient book off her forehead.
He gently rubbed her forehead, his voice softening considerably: "A'Luo, I've always been thinking about our future happiness. As for things we shouldn't think about, don't even utter a word of them. Be good."
Ning Qilu blinked in confusion.
What does what he said have to do with this peerless martial arts manual?
Confused, Ning Qiluo opened the book of unparalleled martial arts techniques in front of Jiang Yingchi.
What comes into view are the eight large characters on the homepage:
[To master this divine skill, one must first castrate oneself]
Ning Qiluo: "..."
She looked up.
He forced an awkward but polite smile at Jiang Yingchi: "You've thought things through much better."
