The mermaid shook her head with her lips tightly closed.
"Unwilling?" Jiang Yuetong slowly stood up, looking down at him with cold indifference: "That's not up to you."
The mermaid hugged herself tightly in fear, her hoarse voice trembling slightly: "No, no, I just can't cry..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yuetong held a sharp sword in her hand, examined it carefully, and said, "This new sword is quite sharp. It's very quick to strike, and it won't cause you much pain."
Seeing her wielding a sharp sword and thrusting it towards her, the mermaid closed her eyes in despair.
A soft chuckle came from behind.
The mermaid opened her beautiful blue eyes.
Looking at his slightly frightened eyes, Jiang Yuetong smiled and continued, "Can you cry now?"
The mermaid swallowed hard and said, "Yes."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuetong's expression changed instantly. Pointing her sword at the two small porcelain bottles on the ground, she said indifferently, "Hurry up, we're waiting to use them."
"Yes." The mermaid lowered her head slightly.
Jiang Yuetong had just turned around and sat down when there was a knock on the door.
Just as she was about to get up to open the door, Lu Jingliang, who was sitting next to her, had already strode over with his long legs.
When the manager saw that the person who opened the door was Lü Jingliang, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes. After realizing what was happening, he stepped inside.
He approached Jiang Yuetong, bowing respectfully, and said, "Master, the people who inquired about you have been dealt with."
Jiang Yuetong gave a faint "hmm": "Don't leave any traces. You should be even more careful while you're in the Central Plains."
The steward nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Master, the people from the Medicine Sect won't be able to find out about me so easily."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuetong pondered for a moment.
He then took out ten Flash Spirit Talismans from his spatial storage and placed them on the table, saying calmly, "These are for your safety. If things don't go well, return to Huanhai Prefecture immediately."
Upon hearing this, the butler's eyes lit up.
He quickly and carefully took the Flash Talisman from the table, grinning as he said, "Yes, my brothers and I thank you, Master!"
After the steward left, the mermaid who had been hiding in the corner got up and walked over barefoot, carrying two small porcelain bottles filled with tears.
Seeing this, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Jiang Yuetong's dark eyes, and she smiled slightly with her red lips curving upwards.
She raised her hand, gathered her spiritual energy, and sealed the opening of the small porcelain bottle. Then she picked up a bottle and placed it in front of Li Qingrong, saying calmly, "Keep it."
Li Qingrong didn't expect her to give it to her first.
Seeing this, Yao Lao Ouyang De, who was inside the space, slowly said, "Mermaid tears are a good thing. Keep them since she gave them to you. They will be useful in the future."
Just as Li Qingrong was about to refuse, she reached for the small porcelain bottle, pursed her lips, and said, "Thank you!"
Jiang Yuetong looked up at her and said the same thing: "If you really want to thank me, then hurry up and improve your cultivation so you can become a ninth-grade alchemist as soon as possible."
Li Qingrong: "..."
"Yes, I will." Li Qingrong said this with a little more confidence.
I don't know if it's because I became an apprentice.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Li Qingrong left the room and went to rest next door.
Lu Jingliang quickly closed the door, then walked over with a sullen face and a stern expression.
Jiang Yuetong quickly looked away, picked up her teacup and took a small sip, her voice much gentler than before: "What, are you jealous?"
Lu Jingliang's face instantly darkened.
His well-defined hand stroked her delicate chin, making Jiang Yuetong look at him. His deep voice, slightly clenched, said, "I don't get jealous, I just drink vinegar."
