Chapter 141 Eastern Region 4 The System Has Actually Become Smarter. ...
The system has become smarter.
Xie Jiaoyue felt a deep pain in her heart, a pain so intense it felt like she had lost the most important thing in her life, such as the spirit stone.
There was nothing she could do; Chu Xingjin had now completely come to regard her as an enemy, and was even seriously announcing everywhere that his engagement with Xie Jiaoyue was null and void, making Xie Jiaoyue's current status illegitimate.
Fortunately, in the cultivation world, breaking off an engagement cannot be done merely by saying it; it requires a formal announcement and a visit to the other party's home. The party who initiates the breakup must also pay spirit stones. Chu Xingjin was unwilling to pay spirit stones, so although their engagement was in jeopardy, they remained steadfast in their resolve.
Xie Jiaoyue couldn't get any benefits from the system, nor did she want to continue enduring Gong Shichuo's mocking gaze. She took the initiative to leave the eleventh branch of Buzhou Inn, looked at the twenty-nine pairs of eyes staring expectantly at her, and said, "Because there are quite a few of us, the innkeeper needs to tidy up for a while. How about we all go for a walk around the city now? At least three people per group, and each group can choose a leader to be responsible for the safety of the people in the group, how about that?"
A chorus of voices rose from the crowd: "It's Sister Jiaoyue!", "Good Sister Jiaoyue!", "Sister Jiaoyue, we definitely won't lose you!" Hearing this, Xie Jiaoyue felt truly like a mature older sister.
After most people had been lured out, even Feng Qianqian and Xin Xiuying teamed up with Xie Xinghui to go out for a stroll. Xie Lingliu also started playing with Pianxian and Jin Wan. Qingyuan Sword Master also went to visit his old friends alone, hoping to get some things for himself and his apprentice.
Only Xie Jiaoyue and Gongshi Moyu remained in the same spot.
Xie Jiaoyue glanced at Gongshi Moyu: "Aren't you going? I remember that this is also your first time in Buzhou Immortal Realm, Brother Moyu. Aren't you curious? The local customs and culture here seem quite different from those in the Southwest Region. In the Southwest Region, the temperature difference is not large throughout the year, and people like to wear long-sleeved dresses with floral patterns all year round. Even in summer, they are willing to wear shawls. But here, we are by the sea, and people dress very freely."
There were even female cultivators wearing strapless tops on the street! They looked so cool and comfortable!
Gong Shi Moyu said, "If you like them, I'll buy you a few sets."
Do you have money?
"..." He sighed, "It's really not enough to pay for the inn, but it's enough to buy you a few clothes."
"Forget it, let's not waste spirit stones."
"Then I'll make it for you."
That would be great, Xie Jiaoyue had complete faith in Gong Shi Moyu's handicrafts.
"How come you can make clothes so well?"
"When you're feeling upset, it can help calm your mind."
"You do remind me of someone I used to know. Like you, he was a man who liked making clothes, which is a niche hobby among men. When I asked him why he liked it, he said the same thing. But he was different from you; the clothes he made were really ugly."
Gong Shi Moyu fell silent. He used to be bad at making clothes, and it took him many years to gradually improve. However, at that time, his relationship with Xie Jiaoyue was becoming increasingly distant, which meant that he could no longer give away the things she had.
He could tell that Xie Jiaoyue really didn't intend for him to sell clothes, and she wasn't saving the spirit stones either. Instead, she took the spirit stones and planned to go out to buy some food. No matter how Xie Jiaoyue wanted to solve today's problem, she still needed to eat something.
Besides enjoying dressing up, Xie Jiaoyue also loves to eat. Apart from her cultivation time, she spends most of her time on these two things.
Gongshi Moyu knew Xie Jiaoyue's preferences like the back of his hand. He sold her savory baked cakes and sweet and sour fresh juice. After paying the last spirit stones, he turned around and saw Chu Xingjin on the street corner.
Gongshi Moyu immediately quickened his pace and returned to Buzhou Inn. He walked up to Xie Jiaoyue and whispered in her ear, "Chu Xingjin is here."
He wasn't jealous or sad; instead, he saw through Xie Jiaoyue's thoughts and proactively offered her a stage. However, he didn't want to leave Xie Jiaoyue's side, lest Chu Xingjin take advantage of him when he wasn't paying attention.
Xie Jiaoyue's eyes lit up. It was just what she wanted; this person had arrived at the perfect time.
She looked around and, taking advantage of the waiter's inattention, hid in a secluded spot.
The waiter looked up and said, "Hey, there was someone here just now, how come they're gone in the blink of an eye?"
Chu Xingjin stepped inside, his tone teasing with a smile: "What? You don't want to entertain me, but want to entertain someone else?"
The waiter turned around and said, "Oh, isn't this Young Master Chu? Fairy Gongshi has already instructed me to reserve a top-tier room for you. I'll take you there right away."
Xie Jiaoyue secretly followed, and Gong Shi Moyu secretly trailed behind Xie Jiaoyue. The string of people looked like a candied hawthorn skewer on the stairs of the inn.
