"What did you say? 1000?" Chu Xinxin pulled up the data panel in disbelief, and it really was true.
[Sister! Did you guys hit a home run last night?! Otherwise, how could the data skyrocket overnight?] The system finished speaking and excitedly let out a series of screams of "Ahhhhhh!"
"How is that possible? Xiao Linyi clearly hates me so much that he doesn't even want to see me and he wants to fire me."
[Sister, don't worry about it. Tear up your resignation letter, and Xiao Linyi definitely won't kick you out anymore. Focus on improving your favorability rating as soon as possible!]
...
On the other side, Xiao Linyi went to Tianji Tower and, without caring about anything else, beat up Tianji as soon as they met.
Tianji had been chatting with the system all night and was sleeping soundly in bed when he was suddenly bombarded. He covered his head and ran around frantically, but Xiao Linyi's arrows formed from spiritual energy struck him without missing a beat.
"Stop, stop, stop! Old Xiao, are you overjoyed? I helped you find a Daoist partner, and this is how you treat your benefactor?"
Unable to escape, Tianji lunged forward and clung tightly to Xiao Linyi's hand.
Xiao Linyi felt that the action seemed familiar, and after a moment of stunned silence, half of his anger dissipated.
Tianji waited for a while and when he didn't move, she straightened up and raised her head.
When Tianji doesn't speak, he is indeed very handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. But because of the smile on his lips and his gentle and refined temperament, he has a face that is especially good at winning over young girls.
Tianji straightened his disheveled clothes and asked Xiao Linyi, "Old Xiao, what's wrong with you? Why are you so irritable so early in the morning?"
Xiao Linyi replied in a gloomy tone, "Shouldn't I be angry? If you hadn't placed the Thousand Doors Shield at the Yuanlai Inn, would this have caused such a commotion today?"
Tianji: "I'm innocent! You were being watched when you were flying in the inner city last night. Also, when you went to Yuanlai Inn and entered the room together, did I tie you up and take you in? You also have some responsibility, how can you blame it all on me?"
"She got drunk and kept rushing towards the palace. I just wanted to find a place for her to rest and sober up, but when I came out, I was stopped by the Thousand Gates!"
Seeing that Xiao Linyi was gathering spiritual power at his fingertips again, Tianji quickly admitted his mistake: "Okay, okay, it's my fault."
"Of course it's your fault." Xiao Linyi's spiritual energy dissipated from his fingertips.
Seeing that the apology had worked, Tianji's eyes darted around, and his gossipy nature could no longer be suppressed as he asked, "So, what did you think of that fairy? Did you like her? Someone used a Primal Stone to record the scene when you two came out. She was truly a graceful lady, as beautiful as the Goddess of the Luo River. How could I have missed such a beautiful girl..."
Tianji spoke the last sentence in a low voice, but Xiao Linyi still heard it. He warned Tianji, "Don't try anything with them."
Tianji retorted, "Why can't we have each other when neither of us is married? Unless you say you like her, I won't take away a gentleman's love."
Xiao Linyi was speechless after being shut down by him. He and Chu Xinxin had only known each other for two days. If he said he liked her, it would seem frivolous and not dignified enough. But if he said he didn't like her, he had indeed kissed her last night.
Tianji could tell from his expression that there was a high probability that this matter would succeed.
"Hey Lao Xiao, whether you like her or not, the whole of Shengjing knows about you two last night... You have to take responsibility for her. She's an innocent young girl, sigh."
Tianji sighed dramatically, then took a half step back and raised his hand to cover his face, thinking that Xiao Linyi was going to hit him again. However, Xiao Linyi remained motionless, seemingly struggling with some difficult problem.
"Old Xiao, what's wrong with you? You haven't been possessed, have you? Let me check you out."
Xiao Linyi slapped Tianji's hand away and said with a serious expression, "I want to... take responsibility for her, but she..."
Xiao Linyi told Tianji what he had overheard, Chu Xinxin saying that he hated her, and then added that he had finished making people copy books and submit their resignations.
Tianji rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment, then a flash of inspiration struck him: "I've got it!"
Then a book appeared in his hand.
Tianji handed the book to Xiao Linyi: "This is my humble work, which should be of some help to Master Zichen."
Xiao Linyi looked down and exclaimed, "The Legend of the Sea King?"
Tianji, sweating profusely, snatched it back: "Sorry, I took the wrong one, this is the one."
Xiao Linyi's copy of "The Legend of the Sea King" has been transformed into "Thirty-Six Strategies for Making Your Beloved Fall in Love with You".
Xiao Linyi threw the book back at him, adding a single word: "Get lost."
Tianji stroked his non-existent beard: "Countless men in Shengjing idolize me, and I personally teach you, yet you still don't appreciate it."
Okay, let me teach you something simple first. Come closer.
......
Actually, a day passes very quickly, especially when there's no work to do.
Chu Xinxin is about to resign, and even if there is work to do, she will not do it. She will instead sit in meditation in her side hall.
Perhaps the hundreds of thousands of spirit stones she absorbed still retained spiritual power in her body, or perhaps she ate too much nourishing food last night. After meditating for half a day, Chu Xinxin advanced from the mid-Foundation Establishment stage to the late-Foundation Establishment stage.
This is the only good news we've had in recent days.
When it was time to wrap up work, Chu Xinxin placed her resignation letter and handwritten rules on Xiao Linyi's desk, then turned and walked out.
After a while, Chu Xinxin thought that most of the people in Siyinge had left, but it turned out that no one had left.
She was a little confused and was about to ask someone what was going on when she saw Xiao Linyi walking over with a bouquet of flowers.
Xiao Linyi walked up to her and handed her the flowers.
Chu Xinxin glanced back, saw no one behind her, and asked tremblingly, "Sect Master, do you want me to run errands and deliver this to someone?"
Xiao Linyi: "Here you go."
The onlookers at Siyinge couldn't help but start chanting, "Say yes! Say yes!"
Damn it, what kind of promise is that?! Chu Xinxin really wanted to sew their mouths shut.
Seeing that Chu Xinxin hesitated to take it, Xiao Lin recalled Tianji's words and, suppressing his unease, asked again, "Do you like it?"
hiss--
Help! This is good oil!
Chu Xinxin was so embarrassed that she almost scratched the ground with her toes. Had Xiao Linyi taken the wrong medicine?
[Sister, I told you he definitely wouldn't kick you out! He's even pursuing you, sister!] The system's voice was hoarse from shouting. [Quickly take it! Give your sect leader some face in front of your subordinates. Show three parts surprise, six parts shyness, and one part bewilderment as you take it, then gently smell the flower and smile, saying you like it very much!]
Chu Xinxin: ......
The jeers from those around them grew louder and louder, with some even suggesting that Xiao Linyi should kneel down. Whether Xiao Linyi would kneel or not was unknown, but Chu Xinxin dared not gamble. She quickly took the bouquet and politely thanked Xiao Linyi.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two walked out of Siyin Pavilion without exchanging a word, separated by a galaxy. Then, Xiao Linyi summoned the Xuanlong, and Chu Xinxin summoned the Fire Phoenix. One went south and the other north, each returning to their own home.
It was so embarrassing that Yawen couldn't bear to look at it.
