The woman in the white dress came down to the first floor and frowned slightly when she saw Lianxin's disheveled appearance.
Even when beating a dog, one should consider its owner. This woman dared to beat her maid in public; wasn't that a slap in her face?
Besides, this is inside Qi Yeyue Tower, how dare she?
"Young lady, I don't know what Lianxin did to offend you, that you would beat my maid here?" The woman in the white dress looked at Lianxin with a pained expression.
Upon hearing this, Ji Jiuying thought to herself, "Hehe~ What a proud and aloof white lotus flower."
Is this a warning to her that this is Qi Yeyue Tower, and she should know when to stop?
"Sister? I don't have an older sister who can pretend like that. Do your parents know about your random attempts to claim kinship?" Ji Jiuying looked the woman up and down and sneered.
After the onlookers realized what was happening, they pointed and whispered, covering their mouths and chuckling.
All of this, of course, could not be hidden from the woman in the white dress.
The woman in the white dress was taken aback for a moment, her face instantly turning somewhat gloomy, but she quickly masked it. She hadn't expected that this woman would act so unpredictably, even though she had only made a polite remark.
She glanced around in confusion. With such a commotion, why did the people in charge seem oblivious? The woman in the white dress narrowed her phoenix eyes thoughtfully.
"You jest, young lady. If you don't like me addressing you that way, I won't. But why are you treating my maid like this?"
The woman in the white dress gradually developed a sob-like tone, her tearful expression stirring a sense of pity in even Ji Jiuying, let alone men.
What a pity~
"Your maid bumped into my Qingling and thought she could just leave without apologizing? What good upbringing!" Ji Jiuying said coldly.
Upon hearing this, the woman in the white dress smiled and looked at Lianxin, "Lianxin, is what she said true?"
Seeing her mistress's innocent smile, Lianxin was slightly taken aback. As her mistress's personal maid, how could she not know that her mistress was angry!
"Miss... I... I..."
A hint of panic and fear flashed across Lianxin's face, and she silently lowered her head.
The woman in the white dress understood everything now, and glared fiercely at Lianxin from where no one could see.
Thinking of something, he glanced around. Could it be...?
"Since it's your fault, hurry up and apologize to them." The woman in the white dress pretended to be very disappointed and heartbroken.
Ji Jiuying rolled her eyes. If she hadn't seen the ruthlessness in her eyes, she would have believed her. If this innocent-looking woman were in modern times, she could probably win an Oscar easily.
"Yes, Miss."
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have bumped into you. I apologize."
Lianxin spoke reluctantly, but from an angle where Ji Jiuying and Qingling couldn't see, she revealed a resentful look.
Qingling was caught off guard and looked to Ji Jiuying for help, "Miss... what?"
Ji Jiuying glanced at the woman in the white dress, a chill running down her spine, but she still nodded to Qingling.
If it weren't for the important matters at hand, given the malice in her eyes, she certainly wouldn't have let it go so easily.
This woman in the white dress is cunning and calculating. Having lost face in front of so many people, she will probably hold a grudge against her and Qingling.
However, if this venomous snake dares to bite her, she wouldn't mind sending her back to her hometown.
At this moment, Ji Jiuying noticed that there were more and more people at Qi Yeyue Tower. Could it be that she had stumbled upon an auction?
Ji Jiuying pulled Qingling toward the shopkeeper, when two malicious gazes shot toward them from behind. Ji Jiuying snorted coldly, knowing without a doubt who those gazes belonged to.
"Lianxin, let's go upstairs!" The woman in the white dress glanced at Ji Jiuying with disdain as she saw her go to the innkeeper's side, and then led Lianxin up to the second-floor private room.
······
"Manager, is there an auction today?" Ji Jiuying asked, looking at the packed hall.
"Yes, Miss Feng, don't you know?" the shopkeeper asked in confusion. That shouldn't be the case, the news of the auction today was announced several days ago.
"I've been in seclusion these past few days cultivating, so..." This wasn't Ji Jiuying's fault; she genuinely didn't know.
She came today to check out the tavern and deliver some pills; she hadn't forgotten her collaboration with Ye Qingchen.
The shopkeeper looked like he knew what was going on, and then asked another question.
"Did Miss Feng come to deliver some pills this time?"
"Um!"
"Old Master Sun has gone out on business, but there is still a manager backstage. Miss Feng, please wait a moment."
Soon, Old Master Sun summoned a servant and led Ji Jiuying to the backstage area.
"Manager, Miss Feng has arrived."
The door opened from the inside as soon as the servant finished speaking.
Approaching us was a woman dressed in gorgeous colorful clothes. She had a graceful figure and an exceptionally beautiful face that exuded charm.
Beneath her delicate eyebrows, her bright eyes were half-closed, her lips were naturally red without any makeup, and a hint of a smile played at the corners of her mouth, making her even more charming and alluring, a beauty that could topple kingdoms.
Ji Jiuying couldn't help but sigh. Having been in this world for so long, she had seen countless beauties, but the most stunning one was Lian Qingcheng, whom she had met in the Ghost Market before. Of course, there was also the one in front of her.
"This is so beautiful~ Qingchen has good taste!"
The woman was slightly taken aback; she had actually addressed her master by his name. However, she quickly recovered and smiled, "Miss Feng, you're quite amusing!"
"My name is Yingying. Miss Feng, please give me your card. I'll transfer the profits from the pills to you first," Yingying said with a smile.
"Miss Yingying, could you please open another crystal card for me?" Ji Jiuying asked.
"Of course!" Yingying said respectfully, took out a new crystal card, slid it in, and transferred the crystal into it, handing it to Ji Jiuying.
After receiving the crystal card, Ji Jiuying turned and handed it to Qingling, asking her to infuse it with her spiritual power for authentication.
Yingying stood there stunned. This was no small sum of money. She turned around and handed it to her maid.
Qingling was equally confused, but she still listened to her young mistress and confirmed it.
Ah~
A scream startled both Ji Jiuying and Yingying.
Qingling covered her mouth in disbelief, and the crystal card in her hand seemed to weigh a ton, trembling constantly!
"······"
"Miss..."
"Qingling~ You need to get used to it slowly. You'll be helping me count money in the future. You're already so scared of this little thing. How are you going to make big money with me?" Ji Jiuying chuckled.
Qingling blushed and looked embarrassed. What a lovely young lady!
Ji Jiuying placed all the pills she had refined on the table, piling them up into a small mountain.
Yingying was stunned for a moment, then picked up one of the bottles of Rejuvenating Pills and opened it. The moment the cap was opened, a rich fragrance of pills wafted out, and she immediately felt refreshed. She was also surprised and quickly closed the cap again.
Low-grade Heavenly-level pills.
Although a low-grade Heaven-level pill cannot compare to a mid-grade one, its purity and perfection are no less than those of a mid-grade pill.
