Chapter 24 It depends on the person



Jiang Zhige was in the outer gate and Nangong Rou was in the inner gate. Although they lived in different mountains, they were not far apart and they were heading home the same way.

However, Lu Tianjiao is a true disciple and lives on a mountain all by himself, which is a completely different path from that of his brother and sister.

Walking on the road, Nangong Rou lost her previous playfulness. She had a gloomy face and didn't say a word the whole time. It was obvious that she was still sulking.

"Rou'er, don't be angry, come and see what this is."

Jiang Zhige was quite helpless. Nangong Rou was too dependent on him and would become jealous once he had contact with other women.

Over the past seven years, this dependence not only resulted in Nangong Rou having no friends, but also made Jiang Zhige have little social connections in the sect.

Nangong Rou snorted lightly and turned her head to glance at what Jiang Zhige was holding.

It was a plum blossom hairpin with crimson stamens and pink petals. Not only was it elegant in style, it also had a faint floral fragrance lingering around it.

Seeing the hairpin, Nangong Rou suddenly turned from anger to joy and asked, "Wow! Brother, how did you know I like this?"

This item is called the March Spirit Hairpin, and she had set her eyes on it several months ago. Unfortunately, the bald elder said that the hairpin has the effect of clearing the mind and nourishing the spirit, and can also slightly increase the speed of cultivation, so the price is as high as thirty-five spirit stones.

Nangong Rou had hardly ever done any missions for the sect, and her daily expenses were all covered by her monthly salary and the spirit stones given by Jiang Zhige. The hair accessories that cost thirty-five spirit stones were too expensive for her, so she gave up on it at that time.

Today, I happened to pass by Wanbao Shop and saw the March Spirit Hairpin again. I was moved. I didn't expect that Jiang Zhige would secretly buy it.

"Keep it. It will look beautiful on you."

Jiang Zhige chuckled. To him, Nangong Rou's thoughts were very easy to understand.

"Brother, the March Spiritual Hairpin is so expensive, where did you get the Spiritual Stones?"

Nangong Rou didn't think much about it and immediately took the hairpin and tried it on her hair.

"You forgot that my brother can earn five more spirit stones every month by taking care of the spirit herbs. If I can save some by completing the sect's tasks, it will be no problem to buy a hairpin."

Jiang Zhige didn't want Nangong Rou to use the spirit stones just because she had them, so he had been saving them for emergencies.

Nangong Rou nodded. She put on the hairpin and showed it to Jiang Zhige. She smiled and asked, "Brother, does it look good?"

"It looks good, of course it looks good."

Jiang Zhige smiled and nodded. He always thought that his sister was very cute and the hairpin was just the icing on the cake.

"Brother is the best to me after all."

Nangong Rou giggled and moved closer to hug Jiang Zhige's arm.

At that time, she did not ask Jiang Zhige to buy it directly because she thought it was too expensive and did not want her brother to spend money. Now that Jiang Zhige secretly gave her this surprise, she was much happier than if he had bought it directly.

On the other side, Lu Tianjiao, who was walking on his way home, suddenly stopped.

He took out the Moon Breath Blade from his storage ring, and after much thought, he decided to give it to Nangong Rou, otherwise the more than one hundred spirit stones would be wasted.

"Since Junior Sister Nangong doesn't want to accept it, can I ask Brother Jiang to pass it on for me?"

Lu Tianjiao patted his head. Why did he think of it only now?

In his opinion, Nangong Rou actually liked Yuexi Blade very much. She only concealed her desire because the gift was expensive. Otherwise, she would not have shown such an expression in front of Wanbao Shop.

Nangong Rou would definitely not be reserved in front of her brother if she asked Jiang Zhige to pass it on.

When she receives her favorite spiritual weapon, won’t Nangong Rou’s affection for herself increase even more?

Thinking of this, Lu Tianjiao became excited and immediately used his martial arts to run in the opposite direction.

After a moment, Nangong Rou seemed to remember something. She touched the March Spiritual Hairpin on her head and asked in confusion, "By the way, didn't that Lu Tianjiao think that I liked that green sword and bought it for me?"

"Well, from what you said, it should be."

Jiang Zhige was stunned. The sword was completely opposite to Nangong Rou's preference. He didn't react at that time.

Now that I think about it, if it wasn't because Nangong Rou liked the Moon Breathing Blade, why would Lu Tianjiao inexplicably go to the Wanbao Shop to buy a valuable spiritual weapon for her? "If I had known this would happen, I should have let you accept it. It's a waste of other people's kindness."

Jiang Zhige felt a little ashamed. At that time, he thought that Lu Tianjiao wanted to show off his financial strength to Nangong Rou, and he even ridiculed Lu Tianjiao for it.

Nangong Rou looked disapproving, curled her lips and said: "What good intentions, that broken sword is so annoying, I don't want it."

“It’s not a question of like or dislike.”

Jiang Zhige gave a wry smile. He naturally understood Nangong Rou.

He was not the type to wield swords and guns, and had a natural aversion to weapons. Moreover, because Jiang Zhige stayed in the spiritual medicine garden all day, he hated the color green.

Lu Tianjiao's Moon-Breathing Blade combined the two characteristics that Nangong Rou hated the most now. The reason why she was able to politely reject Lu Tianjiao so kindly at that time was simply because they were not familiar with each other.

Otherwise, even if it was Jiang Zhige who sent the Yuexi Blade, he would definitely be scolded by Nangong Rou.

"I don't care, I don't care. Whoever wants that broken sword can have it. I just want my spiritual hairpin."

Nangong Rou shook her head like a rattle and touched the March Spirit Hairpin on her head with fondness as she spoke.

Jiang Zhige showed helplessness, touched Nangong Rou's head lovingly, and sighed softly: "Okay, okay, whatever Rou'er likes."

At this rate, he estimated that Lu Tianjiao would have to put in a lot of effort to pursue Nangong Rou.

Jiang Zhige didn't think much about it. It was normal that it was difficult to pursue his sister. If Lu Tianjiao didn't even have this much perseverance, he should just think that he had chosen the wrong person.

Not far away, Lu Tianjiao was standing there with the Moon Breath Blade in his hand.

Although he only heard the last sentence, he could guess that the broken sword that Nangong Rou mentioned must be the Moon Breath Blade that he had placed great hope in just a second ago.

As for the spiritual hairpin that Nangong Rou loved very much, Lu Tianjiao happened to have seen it before when he was in Wanbaopu.

A spiritual weapon worth hundreds of spiritual stones is not as good as a useless hairpin?

No one would believe it if you told them, and Lu Tianjiao was no exception.

Spiritual weapons can be used to increase strength or even save lives, while hairpins can only be used as decorations. The status of the two cannot be compared at all.

Thinking about how Nangong Rou cared about Jiang Zhige in Tingyu Pavilion, Lu Tianjiao subconsciously thought that it depends on the person.

Lu Tianjiao looked at the Moon Breath Blade with an unwilling look on his face, and murmured: "If it was Brother Jiang who gave away the Moon Breath Blade, I'm afraid Junior Sister Nangong would be happier."

It doesn't matter what gift you give, what matters is who gives the gift.

Obviously, in Nangong Rou's heart, he is probably not even as important as a hair of Jiang Zhige.

Lu Tianjiao felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife and he tightly gripped the Moon Breath Blade.
