Jiang Zhige and Lu Tianjiao followed her gaze and immediately guessed what she was interested in.

It was a treasure shop established by the sect and managed by the elders, which had everything from spiritual herbs, elixirs, spiritual weapons, and forging materials.

Right in the center of the shop entrance, there was a short dagger suitable for women. It was emerald green in color and had a beautiful shape, but because it was a mid-level yellow-grade spiritual weapon, it was so expensive that most disciples could not afford it.

Lu Tianjiao retracted his gaze and asked tentatively: "Junior Sister Nangong, since you like it, do you want to buy it?"

"No, it's too expensive."

Nangong Rou shook her head decisively. Her monthly salary was only fifteen spirit stones. If she wanted to buy that thing, she had to ask her master for spirit stones.

Jiang Zhige nodded. He was pleased that Nangong Rou was fourteen years old but had no vanity at all.

Seeing Jiang Zhige's actions, Lu Tianjiao couldn't help but frown slightly.

The girl he likes has taken a fancy to a certain commodity, how can he back down because of the price? "Junior Sister Nangong, wait for me for a moment."

After making sure that he had enough money on him, Lu Tianjiao walked straight towards the shop.

Nangong Rou and Jiang Zhige were slightly stunned, and for a moment they didn't react to what Lu Tianjiao wanted to do.

Lu Tianjiao walked into the shop, bowed to the bald elder who was napping beside the counter and said, "Elder, I want to buy this dagger."

For a long while after he finished speaking, the bald elder did not move.

“Elder.”

"Who is it?"

As soon as Lu Tianjiao's voice became a little louder, the bald elder suddenly stretched.

He looked sleepy, sizing up Lu Tianjiao, and asked with a yawn, "Lu Tianjiao? What are you buying this for? Although this dagger is much cheaper than other mid-level spiritual weapons, it still costs 120 spiritual stones, and it is specially made for women."

According to the bald elder, Lu Tianjiao should have a yellow-grade upper-level spiritual weapon bestowed by his master, so he doesn't need to waste spirit stones to buy spiritual weapons.

"Elder, money is not a problem. I completed the task of hunting down ghost monsters some time ago, and my savings are enough to buy this dagger."

The corner of Lu Tianjiao's mouth twitched. In fact, he really wanted to say that it was none of his business what he bought, but he didn't dare to say more due to the pressure from the elders.

The bald elder wanted to persuade him, but suddenly he noticed Nangong Rou not far from the door, and he immediately understood.

"You're buying it for your sweetheart, right? Let me tell you, this Moon Breath Blade is good-looking but useless, otherwise it wouldn't be sold for only 120 Spirit Stones."

The bald elder chuckled. He had a good relationship with Lu Tianjiao's master and knew that Lu Tianjiao liked Nangong Rou.

"It doesn't matter. It's enough for me to protect her."

Lu Tianjiao looked indifferent. As long as Nangong Rou liked it, who cares if it was useful or not? "Bah, you are also a half-baked person. Break through the Dao Seed Realm first. Otherwise, let alone that old man Yao Qianji, you won't be able to get past her brother."

The bald elder curled his lips. He knew Jiang Zhige quite well. Although he lacked talent in cultivation, he was diligent, had solid cultivation, and mastered many low-level martial arts. When he used all his strength, he was no less than an ordinary spiritual martial artist.

"Thank you for your concern, Elder."

Lu Tianjiao became more and more annoyed. The bald elder just talked too much, which was why he annoyed the disciples of Tianyun Pavilion.

Nangong Rou was still waiting outside, and he didn't have that much time to chat with the bald elder.

Besides, Nangong Rou was known as the goddess in Tianyun Pavilion. If he couldn't even beat Jiang Zhige, how could he dare to pursue Nangong Rou? During the time when they first met, Lu Tianjiao often challenged Jiang Zhige, but even if he deliberately let him win, Jiang Zhige was no match for him.

A moment later, Lu Tianjiao ran out quickly with the brocade box containing the Moon Breath Blade.

He walked up to Nangong Rou and said with a smile, "Junior Sister Nangong, this spiritual weapon is called Moon Breath Blade, and I think it suits you very well."

As Lu Tianjiao spoke, he opened the brocade box, revealing the Moon Breath Blade which was obviously very expensive.

Nangong Rou was stunned for a moment and cast a questioning look at Jiang Zhige, but Jiang Zhige also looked stunned.

Seeing this, she frowned slightly and refused, "Brother, this thing is too valuable. I can't accept it."

Nangong Rou was very confused at this moment. Wasn't Lu Tianjiao a friend of Jiang Zhige? Why did he give her such a precious spiritual weapon for no apparent reason?

Jiang Zhige felt quite helpless. He really didn't expect that Lu Tianjiao would be a bit thick-skinned.

Even if you like Nangong Rou, you have to take it step by step. In Nangong Rou's impression, they have only known each other for a short time. How could she accept an expensive spiritual weapon?

Lu Tianjiao's mind went blank. Judging from Nangong Rou's attitude, she had no attachment to this spiritual weapon at all.

If she really liked this spiritual weapon, she would not have rejected it without hesitation even though she was concerned about her brother Jiang Zhige being around and even though she was concerned about how expensive the spiritual weapon was.

“But, but.”

Lu Tianjiao was at a loss and wanted to try again.

He spent more than a hundred spirit stones to buy the Moon Breath Blade in order to make Nangong Rou happy. Now that Nangong Rou has rejected him, wouldn't the more than a hundred spirit stones be wasted?

Nangong Rou sighed silently, trying to look more tactful, bowed and thanked him, "Thank you for your kindness, but I can't accept gifts without merit. We haven't known each other for long. If I accept this spiritual weapon, I will feel guilty."

She had no other thoughts, she just felt that she was not familiar with Lu Tianjiao and should not accept this expensive gift.

Jiang Zhige sighed inwardly. Nangong Rou usually acted mischievous in front of him and his master Yao Qianji, but was humble and polite in front of other people. This must be the so-called bully at home.

Lu Tianjiao slowly took back the brocade box, lowered his head and fell silent.

Nangong Rou has said so much, if he continues to insist, wouldn’t that be unreasonable?

Nangong Rou didn't notice the tense atmosphere at all. She heard someone playing the piano not far away and immediately smiled, "Senior Sister Qiushui is playing the piano in Tingyu Pavilion again. Brother, let's go over and take a look!"

Nangong Rou didn’t know what Lu Tianjiao was feeling, so she didn’t know how miserable Lu Tianjiao was at the moment.

Jiang Zhige glanced at Lu Tianjiao, shook his head and said, "Rou'er, you go first, we'll be there soon."

"Then come quickly!"

Nangong Rou didn't think much about it and ran towards Tingyu Pavilion impatiently.

After Nangong Rou left, Jiang Zhige stepped forward and patted Lu Tianjiao on the shoulder, sighed and said: "Brother Lu, don't rush into anything. Rou'er is not familiar with you yet. What you need to do is to cultivate an impression, not try to impress her with precious gifts."

If Nangong Rou is a materialistic girl, how could she not have a friend of the opposite sex? "Brother Jiang, you misunderstood"
