Situ Yi was sitting on the velvet-cushioned bench and talking to Liu Yexin, who had finally calmed down.
After getting caught off guard by the little fellow’s crisp voice, he quickly looked up and involuntarily laughed at their sudden appearance. “You’ve returned.”
“Senior Brother Situ, for you.” Qiao Mu threw him a storage talisman and also gave one to Liang Qingqing.
When she saw Shang Kun staring at her eagerly, she felt a bit ill at ease and reluctantly gave him one too.
“Hehe, thank you Little Junior Sister.” Shang Kun was so ecstatic that he nearly took flight.
After getting to know Little Junior Sister, you would learn that she was actually quite a nice person. It was only that her expression was a bit cold.
“Wow, so many pills.” Senior Sister Liang squealed as she fondled the storage talisman admiringly. “Little Junior Sister, these are storage talismans that you drew yourself, right.”
“Mhm.”
Meanwhile, Situ Yi put away that storage talisman in both amusement and exasperation as he asked Qiao Mu teasingly, “Junior Sister, this couldn’t be hush money, right?”
“Mhm.” Qiao Mu nodded very earnestly.
It was hush money!
Later, when the people from the House of Treasures discovered that someone had plundered all the goods in their storeroom, they were sure to kick up a fuss.
So she was giving them hush money to plug up their mouths!
Upon realizing this, Situ Yi couldn’t resist cracking up, and Liang Qingqing also laughed heartily as she pounced over to hug Qiao Mu, simultaneously rubbing her head. “Little Junior Sister, you’re too cute.”
Mo Lian hastily pulled our dear Qiao Mu back to his side. Not letting you touch her!
Liu Yexin sat quietly on the side, her eyes shifting as she looked at Qiao Mu. Afterwards, she lowered her gaze again.
“Hey,” Qiao Mu called out to Liu Yexin.
Liu Yexin looked up and nodded at Qiao Mu calmly. “Little Junior Sister.”
After this, Qiao Mu suddenly just… didn’t want to scold her, and she pulled her up instead. “Go change your clothes.”
There was a small side room, and Qiao Mu closed the doors after pushing her inside. Qiao Mu then took out a set of clothes from her inner world, tossing them to Liu Yexin. “Change into these.”
Liu Yexin silently followed her order, turning around and swiftly changing her clothes.
“Why did things end up like this?”
“I was careless and fell into an ambush during practical training.” Liu Yexin lowered her head and explained softly.
After rolling her eyes toward the ceiling, Qiao Mu stepped up to her with two strides in place of three and flicked her forehead. “How come you also trained away your temper after seven to eight years of practical training? Where is the courage you had when you fought with me back then? How about the perverseness with which you ordered your hyena to eat me? Where did it go.”
Liu Yexin gave her a bitter smile. “I was immature in the past, I…”
“I have never seen someone as dumb as you, training yourself up onto the auction platform!” With a brandish of her hand, Qiao Mu tossed her a round Core Ravaging Thunder.
“Here, don’t blame me for not reminding you. There will definitely be a big commotion later, so the boss of this auction will probably come out. At that time, you know what to do. Whether you take your revenge, it’s up to you to decide.” After finishing her piece, Qiao Mu felt a bit tired, so she turned to patter away.
Yet Liu Yexin gripped the Core Ravaging Thunder and bit her lips with a lowered head. Afterwards, she pushed open the doors and walked out, as well.
The two people returned to the private room, and the other people watched curiously as they came in one after the other.
“Junior Sister Liu, don’t think too much. It is quite dangerous to be undergoing practical training on your own as a young lady, so you should return to your own sect from now on,” Liang Qingqing persuaded.
Liu Yexin merely hung her head without uttering a sound.
There wasn’t a day that she didn’t want to return to the sect or that she didn’t miss her dad, but she was too ashamed to return.
