Pu Erge stood there waiting for Ji Yuanchi. They had already walked a distance, and he wanted to come back with Ji Yuanchi, but Ji Yuanchi refused him firmly. Helpless, he could only stand there and wait.
When he noticed that Ji Yuanchi's expression was off, Pu Erge's mood changed. He walked over to Ji Yuanchi and asked, "What's wrong? Did someone pick up your things?"
Pu Erge thought Ji Yuanchi was depressed because of the missing items, and was thinking about how to comfort her. "I'll ask Fu Ziyi and the others for help tomorrow to see if we can find the items."
Pu Erge followed Ji Yuanchi, observing her expression. After he finished speaking, Ji Yuanchi's expression subtly changed. The next second, she said, "It's not anything important. It's okay if it's lost. Erge, you don't need to go to so much trouble. Going to find someone else will only make you indebted to them."
Pu Erge was stunned when he heard this, not because it was unreasonable, but because it made perfect sense. Since coming to the second floor, Pu Erge had deeply felt that his younger sister had been influenced by Xu Yuehuai and had become a vibrant young girl.
She should be having the thoughts that a girl her age should be thinking about, which should be quite enjoyable. But now, Ji Yuanchi seems to have reverted to her state from a year ago—composed and lifeless. She completely lacks the liveliness that a girl her age should have.
Pu Erge was a little worried. He opened his mouth, but didn't know where to start to comfort him. After all, it was Xu Yuehuai, not him, who changed Ji Yuanchi from beginning to end.
"Okay, then your second brother will buy you new ones from now on. Out with the old, in with the new." Pu Erge's cool voice rang out as he stroked Ji Yuanchi's hair with his large hand.
Ji Yuanchi lowered her head. She hadn't felt like crying just now. Even if she were alone, she wouldn't have cried. But why did she feel a pang of sadness upon hearing her second brother's words of comfort?
Pu Erge noticed his younger sister's unusual behavior, but instead of comforting her, he turned his head away, refusing to look at Ji Yuanchi.
She is a girl with a strong sense of self-respect and certainly doesn't want him to see her like this.
Ji Yuanchi noticed this and quickly composed herself, a gentle smile appearing on her lips. "Then thank you, Second Brother. I will definitely keep it safe this time."
When Ji Yuanchi said her last sentence, she looked up at Pu Erge with a strange emotion in her eyes, making Pu Erge unable to tell whether she was talking about the bracelet or using the bracelet to talk about a person.
...
After Xu Yuehuai finished refining the talismans, she handed a handful of the ordinary talisman papers she had initially made to Shangguan Xi. The thick stack felt almost unreal to Shangguan Xi; her eyes widened, and forgetting all seduction, she exclaimed, "Senior Sister! Are all of these for me?"
Shangguan Xi held the stack of talismans to his chest, his eyes filled with shock at the matter.
Xu Yuehua nodded slightly, then took out another stack from another place and handed it to Ji Yaocen and Ming Qing respectively.
Ji Yaocen smiled slightly and thanked Xu Yuehuai as she took the item from her hand, saying, "Thank you, Senior Sister."
But when it was Mingqing's turn, she just stared blankly at the things in front of her, neither accepting nor refusing them. She just looked at them with a strange expression. She thought Xu Yuehuai was a strange woman. Why would she give her things when she had already treated her this way?
Before Mingqing could figure this out, the stack of talismans had already fallen into her arms. At the same time, Xu Yuehuai said awkwardly, "Junior sister, why are you daydreaming? Are you thinking about something?"
Ming Qing was certain that her words were hinting at something to herself.
Ming Qing remained silent. There were many talismans, and even ordinary talismans were rare. There were few talisman masters, and most of them were unwilling to sell their talismans, since these things were very difficult to make and they wanted to keep them for their own survival.
Unexpectedly, Xu Yuehuai, a loophole-like figure, immediately produced a stack of talismans.
The group put their things away. Mingqing awkwardly observed Xu Yuehuai while they were talking, trying to discern something different about her.
However, he couldn't see anything. Mingqing frowned, his confusion lingering in his mind for a long time.
Fu Ziyi and Baili Xiuwen also received a stack of talisman paper. Xu Yuehuai refined a lot today. In the future, with the availability of spiritual power talismans, the use of ordinary talismans will naturally decrease.
So she only kept a small portion for herself.
Yuan Shui looked at the talismans in the space, picked one up and glanced at it, then disdainfully put it back. Bai Ze watched the whole time; she couldn't tell what the little boy's strength was, but it was definitely above her own.
Thinking about it this way, it's understandable that her child, Xu Yuehuai, wouldn't be interested in her. With such a formidable figure around, how could she possibly be interested in that greenhorn?
She is able to stay here now because initially Xu Yuehuai couldn't find a good opportunity to release her, and later he forgot about her in the space. She usually doesn't speak and has a very low presence.
Later, Xu Yuehuai probably really forgot about dealing with her, so she stayed there without any legitimate reason.
After being humiliated by Xu Yuehuai in person last time, Song Xin couldn't swallow her anger. After returning to the sect, many people came to curry favor with her, hoping to get some benefits from her.
One of the men had grown up with Song Xin since childhood, and the two had a deep bond. His reason for staying by Song Xin's side was simple: he simply liked her.
When Song Xin saw He Qi, an idea came to her mind. She sat on the stone bench, one hand on her forehead, looking rather unwell.
Upon seeing this, He Qi quickly walked over to Song Xin, his face full of anxiety and concern. "Senior Sister, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?"
He Qi was about the same age as Song Xin, but Song Xin held a higher position in the sect, so according to the rules, he had to call Song Xin "Senior Sister".
Song Xin hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's nothing serious, I've just run into some troublesome things lately, but I'll be fine once I calm down."
Song Xin's words sounded very nice, but they made He Qi very anxious. He immediately replied, "What is it? Tell me, Senior Sister, maybe I can help you."
Although the He family's status in Xuancheng was not as high as Song Xin's, it was not bad either. Song Xin just looked down on him, but she didn't want to give up such a good fish, so she kept He Qi hanging on.
But He Qi was perfectly happy about it, and he cut off all his friends who had objections to it.
