Chapter 92 Xie Lingliu: Hello, Sister Jiaoyue! Hello, Sister Jiaoyue!
Xie Jiaoyue wrote a letter home, telling her mother that she had bought an auction house in Yicheng, and she coaxed her mother, saying that she didn't know how to run it and wanted her mother's help.
Her father, who died young, left behind a lot of spirit stones, but not much property. After so many years of losses, very little remained. Her mother also devoted most of her energy to her, neglecting the family business.
She wanted to find something for her mother to do, and she felt that her mother was capable of doing so.
Gong Shirao scolded her while agreeing; what else could she do but agree to her daughter's request?
After dealing with the auction house, Xie Jiaoyue took stock of her assets.
There is a restaurant in Jinling City, which is now managed by Hua Yi.
The restaurant in Yicheng has not yet been handed over, and Jin Wan will be the head chef and manager in the future.
She didn't need to worry too much about securing a 50% stake in an auction house in Yicheng; Tu Shanxi was already quite reliable. The only problem was that she was too naive, so it would be perfect to have Gong Shi Rao, who was experienced in the "battlefield," help her.
Of these three physical assets, the first one was purchased because of Chu Xingjin, so the profits are not at her discretion. The remaining two were purchased with her own savings, and the future profits will be directly at her disposal.
The physical assets are finished; what remains are the mobile assets.
Clear!
Aside from what I'm wearing and using, my wallet is completely empty!
Oh wait, there are still a few dozen high-grade spirit stones left in the spirit stone bag, but that's all. If it's just for regular food and drink, it can last until entering the secret realm, but it's not really possible to do anything else.
Sigh, making money is so hard, but spending money is so easy.
Fortunately, although she doesn't have any spirit stones right now, she has a lot of spiritual items and treasures, as well as plenty of writing brushes, ink, paper, inkstones, food, clothing, and other necessities. She certainly won't have to worry about lacking things for a while, and she can even use them all herself. She can share them with her fellow students at the clan school.
She neatly arranged the items in the yard, dividing them into portions, and placed them at each of her friends' doors, ensuring that each friend would see them as soon as they woke up the next day.
The thought of hearing several exclamations and a dozen or so "Thank you, Sister Jiaoyue" in the morning made her extremely happy.
Perfect, time for bed!
The next morning, Xie Lingliu was the first to get up.
Strictly speaking, she hadn't slept a wink all night. She spent a long time in the Lanshan Lane auction house, and then wandered around the Gongshi clan's territory for a while, only to find that even knowing Chu Xingjin was there, she couldn't find him. Her resentment kept her from returning to the inn until morning.
Before even entering the room, I saw the things placed at the door.
She might be hallucinating because she wasn't getting enough sleep.
None of the people from Jinling City were close to her, so how could anyone have given her so many things?
She closed her eyes and opened them again—good heavens, they were still there!
She could recognize it at a glance; it was a gift from Xie Jiaoyue.
Shocked! Even she was shocked? In her memory, Xie Jiaoyue already knew that she had impure feelings for Chu Xingjin, yet she was still willing to give her a gift under these circumstances!
What a spirit! Even someone as ruthless and selfish as her couldn't help but want to call her "Sister Jiaoyue".
Because of her affection for Xie Jiaoyue, Xie Jiaoyue felt even more compelled to snatch Chu Xingjin away. She thought that a woman like Chu Xingjin, a heartless philanderer, was a perfect match for her. If he were to be paired with Xie Jiaoyue, it would be an insult to our Sister Jiaoyue.
She secretly placed a note with a large "Thank you" on each gift in front of the room door, making sure everyone knew it was from Xie Jiaoyue as soon as they came out, before quietly returning to her room.
He didn't sleep either, and started eavesdropping by the door.
Those who came to Yicheng were all elites from Jinling City, and many of them were hardworking. Before long, people began to get up one after another.
Exclamations of surprise rose and fell in succession.
Xie Lingliu thought that Xie Jiaoyue was also tired yesterday and probably wouldn't be able to get up in time today, so she secretly took out a recording bead, not for recording photos but for recording audio, so that Sister Jiaoyue wouldn't miss other people's praise of her later.
She was adept at understanding human nature and had long ago discerned that Xie Jiaoyue loved being praised.
Sure enough, thanks to the note written by Xie Lingliu, everyone who went out immediately realized that the gift at the door was from Xie Jiaoyue.
"My goodness, Sister Jiaoyue already took us on a big shopping trip yesterday, and she's given us so much stuff again today."
"The items on the stall were indeed not very complete. I was thinking that I didn't have enough spirit stones to buy other things, but now, Sister Jiaoyue has actually provided everything for me. Oh my god, I love her so much."
"Look at Sister Jiaoyue's efficiency. She took us to eat at a big restaurant, and she also went out to buy so many things herself. Jin Wan said that she even took the time to acquire a restaurant. Look at her, she can do so much in just one day."
"No wonder they're number one; their vision, their action, their analytical skills are all top-notch."
"What can we do to repay Sister Jiaoyue? It feels like Sister Jiaoyue lacks nothing."
Jin Wan had a sudden inspiration: "We can do something too. Sister Jiaoyue loves to eat delicious food and rare delicacies. Although Sister Jiaoyue has eaten all the common delicacies, there must be some rare ingredients in the secret realm. After we go to the Qingyuan Secret Realm, we can collect ingredients for Sister Jiaoyue and then give them to me. I will give her more to eat!"
This suggestion was met with enthusiastic responses from everyone. They were full of ambition and decided to take advantage of the few days before the Qingyuan Secret Realm opened to thoroughly study the ancient texts and inquire in Yicheng to learn more about the delicious spiritual items and materials in the Qingyuan Secret Realm. Then, once they entered the Qingyuan Secret Realm, they would bring them back to give to Sister Jiaoyue!
As things gradually quieted down outside, Xie Lingliu looked at the memory bead in her hand and felt a great sense of regret.
Unfortunately, in order to prevent the children's surprise from being revealed too early, she couldn't give the photo pearl to Little Moon right away.
By the time Xie Jiaoyue got up, the sun was already high in the sky, and the midday sun made her feel lazy and even want to go back to sleep.
She lazily washed up, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw a small table in front of her, piled with a variety of drinks and snacks. The colors were bright and pleasing to the eye, making her feel happy at first glance.
Standing next to the table was Gong Shi Moyu.
Gong Shi Moyu's tone sounded a little sour: "Jiaoyue has grown up, she's really adorable, receiving so many gifts in just one night."
I grabbed a cup that looked like plum juice and started drinking it. It tasted pretty good, but it wasn't very cold.
She likes ice.
Gong Shi Moyu took another cup from the table, made a hand seal, and stuck a talisman on the bottom of the cup, which began to emit a cool sensation.
"Here, drink this. It's not even hot yet, I don't know why you like drinking iced drinks so much."
Xie Jiaoyue took the cup and found that the temperature was just right, cool but not too cool, and a sip made her feel refreshed.
As expected of Brother Moyu, he knows her preferences perfectly. She carried her cup down the stairs, and as she walked, her stomach began to rumble. But she hadn't brought any snacks with her, so she had nothing to eat.
Gongshi Moyu watched Xie Jiaoyue drink half a cup, then handed her a pastry, indicating that she should have something to eat.
Xie Jiaoyue showed an appreciative expression; Mo Yu was so considerate.
Because of Xie Jiaoyue's expression, Gongshi Moyu's lips couldn't help but curl up slightly.
As she raised her hand, Gongshi Moyu's expression turned serious again: "You got up so late today, where were you fooling around yesterday?"
The two had already walked out of the inn and entered the restaurant next door. Gong Shi Moyu pulled Xie Jiaoyue to the private room that had been reserved in advance, ordered the dishes from the restaurant, and then continued to ask Xie Jiaoyue questions.
“I already know that you clashed with Gongshi Yu with the other disciples. I was not far away at the time. The reason I didn’t stop you was because you have a long-standing grudge against the Gongshi clan, and it would be good for you to vent your anger. However, your actions this time were still too risky.”
Xie Jiaoyue was starting to get impatient. Why did she have to lecture her? Was her next sentence going to be that she shouldn't do anything in the future and should just stay there and be a pretty vase or a furnace?
How different is this from Chu Xingjin's statement? Aren't they both full of fatherly airs? It's just a matter of who is more subtle about it.
Seeing that Xie Jiaoyue wasn't listening properly, Gongshi Moyu turned her head towards him and said, "You should have brought everything before you went to provoke Gongshi Yu. Didn't I tell you before that Xin Xiuying and I improved the Sword Qi Pill? The improved version is more powerful than before. If you bring everything, just throw it at Gongshi Yu. He'll be crippled if he doesn't die."

It's not exactly a father figure, but it's far too violent. Is an explosion art?
Although she also really liked this exciting plan, just thinking about it made her adrenaline surge.
“Brother Moyu, we’re on someone else’s turf. If we’re this violent, we’ll get into serious trouble.”
"What are you afraid of? Gong Shiyu threatened you first. You were just acting in self-defense. Even if you go to the Heaven and Earth Bureau, you will be in the right."
At this moment, the dishes were served one after another. Xie Jiaoyue took a bite, but before she could swallow, she was shocked by Gongshi Moyu's words.
"Cough cough cough." She choked.
She brushed away Gongshi Moyu's hand that was patting her back, raised her head and leaned closer to him, looking intently at him: "Self-defense?"
That word is way too modern!
Could it be that she ran into someone from her hometown?
Gongshi Moyu was taken aback by Xie Jiaoyue's sudden closeness.
He had always known that Xie Jiaoyue was very beautiful. Although he changed his appearance when he changed worlds, Xie Jiaoyue's appearance remained the same. Her fox-like eyes still shone with a cunning light, and her fluttering eyelashes amplified the light, making it impossible to look away and willingly being deceived and captured by the fox.
But Gongshi Moyu rarely got this close to Xie Jiaoyue, and the magnified beauty of her made Xie Jiaoyue hold her breath for a moment.
Gong Shi Moyu blushed.
He despised himself in his heart.
In his previous life, although he and Xie Jiaoyue were neighbors, their elders always thought that he was the older brother and Xie Jiaoyue was the younger sister.
In this life, he is Xie Jiaoyue's adoptive brother.
Although they were never related by blood, they grew up together, and he always considered himself the elder brother.
How could he have such feelings towards his own sister?
