Chapter 143 Eastern Regions 6 "Why is Brother Xingjin speaking so bluntly..."
"Brother Xingjin, why are you being so blunt? I just don't want you to be labeled as someone who abandoned his fiancée, which would lead others to misunderstand you and look down on you. Why do you think of me like that? Think about how many spirit stones I've spent on you, how many resources I've given you, and even the entire Xie Clan has spent countless sums on you. Otherwise, how would you have had the opportunity to enter the Golden Spirit City Clan Academy, and how would you have the opportunity to stand here today?"
Chu Xingjin retorted without hesitation: "How much did the Xie family give me? And what you did for me before, wasn't it all voluntary? I didn't force you."
Xie Jiaoyue spoke with heartfelt sincerity: "Of course I believe in Brother Xingjin, but people are shallow and may not believe me. How can I let Brother Xingjin risk being scorned by others? So, Brother Xingjin, as long as you complete the annulment process, I will definitely grant your request."
Chu Xingjin was suspicious of Xie Jiaoyue's words. Before coming to Buzhou Immortal Realm, Chu Xingjin was quite certain that Xie Jiaoyue was extremely hypocritical. Everything she did was an act, just to put him down and make a fool of him! Even her refusal to annul the engagement was to keep him from having his freedom.
But now, he hesitated again.
Yes, such an outstanding person as him, if he has something that others can criticize, then it is indeed a pearl being tarnished, which is heartbreaking. Isn't it perfectly normal for Xie Jiaoyue to have this thought?
Alas, he only has one body and one heart, and he can't satisfy all the female cultivators' budding desires at the same time. It's truly despicable.
Chu Xingjin is no longer as poor as before. Although he has a lot of spirit stones to use for annuling the engagement, he can grit his teeth and come up with it. It's just spirit stones, and it's worth it to exchange them for his freedom!
Chu Xingjin took out a small bag of spirit stones. Instead of using a storage magic tool, he used a tattered cloth bag, which contained various spirit stones ranging from low-grade to high-grade.
Before handing it to Xie Jiaoyue, he carefully counted the items, taking out several low-grade spirit stones to make sure the number was exactly right, without any discrepancy, before handing it to Xie Jiaoyue.
"Here you go. You have received my annulment notice and I have given you the spirit stones you were due. From now on, our engagement is null and void, and we will have no further connection in our marriages."
Xie Jiaoyue took the spirit stones and weighed them in her hand. They were worth about ten high-grade spirit stones, which was enough for the thirty of them to stay at the inn for six nights, barely solving their immediate problem.
good.
Xie Jiaoyue smiled, but this smile was different from her previous ones; it was a genuine smile from the heart, and her eyes and brows were even brighter than usual.
"Brother Xingjin, you really are just as easy to fool as ever."
Chu Xingjin seemed not to have heard clearly: "What did you say?"
"I say, Xingjin is truly the most innocent, kind, and guileless person in the world."
Chu Xingjin realized what was going on and raised his voice an octave: "Xie Jiaoyue, you're insulting me!"
Xie Jiaoyue threw the spirit stones into her storage ring and actually admitted it.
The system hasn't given her any tasks for so long, and Chu Xingjin clearly sees her as an enemy, now even refusing to retain her status as his fiancée.
It seems that she will never have the chance to earn spirit stones through Chu Xingjin again. In that case, what's the point of her trying to maintain her persona?
Getting her to act comes at a price; she won't bother acting if there's no price to pay.
"Isn't Xingjin brother naive? You didn't even ask for the engagement letter back before giving me the spirit stones. Aren't you afraid that I'll go back on my word and use the engagement letter to blackmail you again?"
"Xie Jiaoyue, you're taking advantage of my lack of understanding of the intricacies between aristocratic families to play me for fools!"
Xie Jiaoyue didn't care at all. She took a step back, allowing Chu Xingjin to clearly see Gongshi Moyu's presence. Then, she turned around and swaggered away with Gongshi Moyu.
What's there to be afraid of? Both she and Gongshi Moyu carried magical artifacts that concealed their auras. Without knowing their backgrounds, how could Chu Xingjin dare to attack them directly?
Chu Xingjin's courage, to put it nicely, is cautious; to put it bluntly, it's cowardly. Even if he had twice the courage, he would never have attacked the two of them at the inn.
Moreover, Chu Xingjin dared not reveal that he had been engaged, otherwise how could he have climbed up to another noble lady?
As Xie Jiaoyue had predicted, the two of them walked back to the first floor without any hindrance from anyone, and the door to Chu Xingjin's room remained unopened.
Before leaving the second floor, Xie Jiaoyue glanced back one last time, scoffed, and called her a coward.
Xie Jiaoyue walked up to the waiter, took out a small bag of spirit stones she had just acquired, and placed it on his hand: "Waiter, I want to book fifteen double rooms for six days. Don't tell me we don't have any. I checked with Director Baili Tao. He has already spoken to you, but he hasn't paid for the spirit stones yet."
The waiter's attitude did a complete 180-degree turn this time: "Oh, isn't this our VIP guest? Of course we have rooms available, how could we not? What type of room would you like to book?"
Before Xie Jiaoyue could answer, the waiter had already poured out all the spirit stones. After counting the tiny pieces, the smile on his face disappeared.
"Oh, fifteen yellow-class rooms, right? There aren't enough rooms right now, and yellow-class rooms are the most scarce. If you don't have enough spirit stones to stay there later, remember to vacate them as soon as possible."
Do we have enough spirit stones right now?
For the sake of the spirit stones, the waiter's tone was still relatively polite: "We have enough for now. Let me give you some advice. I've seen plenty of people from remote cities like yours. You won't achieve anything in the All-Region Competition anyway, so you might as well just watch the excitement for a few days and then go back. You can save some spirit stones and buy more cultivation resources."
As the waiter spoke, he couldn't help but sigh: "I've seen too many people who get lost in the Buzhou Immortal Realm and refuse to leave, only to end up destitute on the streets. The fact that you two are here shows that you have good talent and are also good-looking. Please don't end up in that situation."
Xie Jiaoyue smiled and thanked him. This waiter was quite interesting; while he was focused on making money, he also retained a subtle sense of compassion.
Xie Jiaoyue used her last bit of spirit stones to tip the waiter: "Don't worry, I'm not sure about the others, but Mo Yu and I will definitely get a top ranking! Listen to me, bet on me when the market opens, and I guarantee you'll make a fortune."
The waiter's gaze followed the two men as they left. "Hey," he thought, "this guy is really arrogant."
