Chapter 4 My name is Lin Yujin
Jiang Xianwan's lips twitched slightly as she looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.
His body betrayed him, and he quickly put the spirit stones away.
You won't feel itchy if you have too many lice, and who would complain about not having enough money?
The boy's robes, in particular, were embroidered with gold thread that was so dazzling it almost blinded people!
rich!
Still stupid!
Jiang Xianwan immediately put on a warm smile, pulled up a chair for him, and casually picked up a book and opened it.
"Handsome, please have a seat. You have excellent taste!"
"Look at these lifelike illustrations and the dramatic emotional storylines. They are my masterpieces, the result of my hard work, day and night!"
"Trust me! You won't lose out by buying this; you won't be cheated. Investing in this stock will definitely guarantee a profit!"
Lin Yujin was flattered by being called "handsome guy" and immediately sat down.
Looking closely at the spot she was pointing to, it was truly stunning.
"Brother, I must say, your drawing skills are truly superb. I thought you were a talisman cultivator!"
"No, no, let's look at this one!" Jiang Xianwan raised his eyebrows proudly. "This one is the result of three months of hard work. It's based on the prototype of the Grand Elder of the Eternal Sect. I poured my heart and soul into creating it, and it's already sold 1,800 copies!"
Lin Yujin stared in astonishment, her lips trembling as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
After a long silence, the dog lowered its voice and asked furtively, "Aren't you afraid that if word gets out, the people of the Eternal Sect will..."
He raised his hand, placed it on his neck, and gestured.
Jiang Xianwan chuckled, "To be honest, the ones who bought the most were disciples of the Eternal Sect."
Don't be fooled by the fact that those disciples of the Eternal Sect are shouting at her to kill and even trying to overturn her business.
After overturning the stall, he put on a righteous and indignant look and confiscated her books.
I knew these people could be so shameless!
They really want both!
They actually came up with such a shameless way to freeload off her hard work!
That's way too spicy!
Therefore, she often got into group fights with them.
Of course, there are still more good people than bad in the world.
Most of them would secretly throw away the spirit stones, pocket the books, and leave.
Among them are some direct disciples and inner disciples.
Dressed in ordinary people's robes, he looked left and right, seemingly unintentionally.
The next moment, seizing the opportunity, he sneaked up to her stall like a thief.
Jiang Xianwan simply pretended to be blind to that upright and ethereal aura.
Lin Yujin was silent for a few seconds, then slowly raised his thumb, "Brother, you're the one!"
He'd love to raise lice on a tiger's backside!
"Not only him, but also the Sect Leader of the Misty Mist Sect."
Jiang Xianwan picked up another book and enthusiastically introduced it, "Look, I spent three whole days and three nights just painting this picture!"
She wasn't lying.
Wu Miao was so good-looking that she sold incredibly well, and they even had a thousand copies printed overnight.
Lin Yujin examined them carefully, her face flushed, becoming more and more engrossed. "Um, I want all of these. Can you give me a discount?"
"A discount?" Jiang Xianwan raised her voice slightly, seemingly surprised.
Seeing her reaction, Lin Yujin awkwardly touched her nose.
The author risked their life to write this book, and it's accompanied by so many unparalleled, captivating illustrations.
Isn't it a bit much for him to offer someone a bargain so readily? It shows a lack of respect for other people's hard work.
I was just about to say no, thank you.
Jiang Xianwan suddenly patted his shoulder and said magnanimously, "We hit it off immediately. What's a discount? It has to be a full discount! Consider it making friends!"
After saying that, the dog furtively pulled two books out of its pouch and said in a low voice, "Here! These two books haven't been published yet, they're for you!"
Seeing her reaction, Lin Yujin knew it must be some extraordinary masterpiece and eagerly took it.
His brow twitched instantly, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "You included my Emperor and Phoenix Sword Master in the list too!"
And it's written so captivatingly?!
He excitedly flipped through a few pages, his expression growing increasingly excited and distorted.
Finally, he slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Well written!"
I wonder if, once it's published and reaches the ears of the Southern Emperor and the Sword Master, they'll personally come out of seclusion and kill the author.
This kid is a fucking genius!
They're single-minded, sparing no effort, jumping around, and repeatedly courting disaster!
It's one thing to write about the North, but why not even spare the South?
Should we also take advantage of the other three domains in the future?
I'm not afraid of one day being unable to make a living and being wanted by two realms and three domains.
Lin Yujin didn't want to miss out on such a rare talent, so she excitedly slammed her hand on the table and decisively said, "Make me two copies of everything you wrote. I'm going to study it carefully when I get back!"
He'll keep it safe when he gets back!
If this young man were ever wanted by two realms and three domains, I'm afraid no one would dare to write such a daring book again.
Jiang Xianwan gave him a knowing look.
"That's sixty yuan in total. If you release another new book, I'll give you a 20% discount."
"Done!" Lin Yujin was very satisfied. She took out a mustard seed pouch and generously shoveled out a small pile of spirit stones. "Eighty stones! Keep the change!"
One copy is kept as a keepsake, the other is viewed repeatedly.
But thinking about her reckless suicidal behavior, Lin Yujin was puzzled. "Why are you working so hard? Aren't you afraid they'll hunt you down one day?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xianwan sighed helplessly, looked up at the white clouds in the sky, and struck a sad pose at a 45-degree angle.
"I have a terminal illness and need a lot of money for treatment."
At this point, she forced a pale smile and said, "Brother, I just want to live."
"Terminal illness?"
Lin Yujin was slightly taken aback, and her expression gradually became complicated.
He looked as if he had just realized how it was and was deeply saddened.
He frowned and pondered for a while, then pointed to himself seriously and solemnly.
"I am a member of the Lin family. What terminal illness have you contracted? Why don't you come back to the Southern Territory with me? Perhaps there's a way to help you?"
Jiang Xianwan was undeniably surprised.
The Lin family, ranked first among the eight great families of the Southern Territory?
This boy is so kind-hearted!
His face was filled with unwavering determination: "I will do everything in my power to cure you."
He never considered that she might be lying to him, just trying to take advantage of him.
Jiang Xianwan's eyes flickered for a moment at the sudden concern shown by a stranger.
After a moment of silence, he shook his head. "No need. I went to the Eternal Sect and their elders said that I can only take good care of myself."
That was obviously a lie!
She suspected that if she didn't lie to him, he would grab her wrist and take her pulse in the next second.
Even though the Lin family is a family of alchemists, and the boy is adorably naive, it's better to hold back a little.
Hearing that even the elders of the Eternal Sect said that she could only be well cared for, Lin Yujin's eyes showed even more pity.
After thinking for a moment, he took out a jade slip from his sleeve, his tone very serious.
"Let's exchange spiritual energy. If you ever need help in the future, I can refine pills for you! No money required!"
Jiang Xianwan was even more surprised, pointing to the tip of her nose, "You're going to help me refine pills? And you won't charge me?"
This child isn't just stupid, he's practically brain-dead!
She was just making things up.
Under his urging and regretful gaze, Jiang Xianwan still took out a jade slip and exchanged contact information.
Lin Yujin breathed a sigh of relief, then, remembering something, scratched her head sheepishly. "By the way, my name is Lin Yujin. I don't know your name yet?"
"My name is..."
Jiang Xianwan suddenly lifted her eyelashes, her gaze falling upon a dozen or so disciples of the Eternal Sect, their expressions solemn, riding longswords and charging towards her.
Holy crap!
