425 I Feel Like I’ve Been Scammed
Moreover, she could not stay in the capital forever. She had to return to the southern border—that was her home.
She could open a shop here to obtain information whenever she wanted in the future. She would not have to spend so much effort sending information back and forth.
Wei Na thought it was a good idea, but An Jiuyue shook her head when she heard its suggestion.
“No.”
She had obtained her first Point Shop Jade and would definitely earn several more. Since she would be rewarded with one if she had a certain number of points, she might have a second Point Shop Jade before she returned to the southern border.
Hence, she was not in a hurry to open a shop in the capital. She needed to thoroughly consider where she would open this shop.
“Let me think about where I should open the shop. The capital… Maybe next time.”
With that, she returned the Point Shop Jade to the Points Mall. She left the Points Mall and continued looking at Qian Jiyun.
“Pay more attention to the old witch. Also, shouldn’t you straighten Yan Qin out?”
When she compared Ding Nuo Academy’s Secret Network with Yan Qin’s, she wondered if Yan Qin had been lax in commanding his. She would not have thought so if she had not gone to Ding Nuo Academy.
It was indeed time to rectify this seriously. Otherwise, this source of news might become inaccurate.
“Mhm.” Qian Jiyun nodded in understanding.
He would be in the capital during this time. He would not directly take over the Secret Network, but he had to correct Yan Qin’s methods.
An Jiuyue asked, “Do you want me to find someone to coach Yan Qin? Because he is still young, he will not consider certain things. Elders can teach him more.”
Of course, she would not force him if he said no. After all, outsiders should not interfere with the Secret Network.
However, she did not expect Qian Jiyun to nod without hesitation.
“Then I’ll have to trouble you for this.”
An Jiuyue remained silent.
I only mentioned it casually. I don’t actually want to help. I feel like I’ve been scammed, right?
“I’ll ask the fifth elder of the Shang’er Clan to come. He and Elder Ding Nuo established the Shang Secret Network together, so he’s more knowledgeable.”
Since she had already offered, she could not take it back.
“Okay.” Qian Jiyun nodded. “Jiuyue, I’ll teach you how to make lotus lanterns. How about that?”
“Hm?”
An Jiuyue was a little confused. Why did he suddenly mention lotus lanterns?
She turned around and looked at the two little ones, still working hard with their lotus lanterns. Then she turned back to look at Qian Jiyun and raised her eyebrows.
“Sure, teach me.”
How could she possibly not know how to make a lotus lantern?
However, she could not reject him since he wanted to teach her. She had nothing to do anyway, so she decided to play with the two children.
…
The sky was not yet completely dark in the evening.
People had already gathered around the Bi River embankment, also known as the Moonlight Lotus embankment. It always had the largest crowd in the suburbs, and this was especially true today.
Various small stalls had been set up near it, mostly selling lotus lanterns. Only a few people like Qian Jiyun made lotus lanterns themselves.
