“You kid, you’re not going to cry, are you?” Noticing the change in Xiao Yan’s expression, Chu Xiao looked at him with a teasing gaze.
“I won’t!” Xiao Yan felt his face grow hot and immediately shook his head in protest.
With a turn of his eyes, he suddenly rubbed his hands together and said somewhat embarrassedly, “Then, my good brother, can you lend me some money?” Yao Chen: “…” Chu Xiao: ?
Asking for money right away, could it be he’s preparing to buy medicinal herbs to refine the Foundation Building Elixir?
“Money isn’t a woman; saying ‘borrow’ makes you sound like a stranger to your brother.
How much do you want?” Chu Xiao smiled generously and flipped his wrist to take out a hundred gold coins from his storage ring.
“Is this enough?” “It’s a bit insufficient.” Stretching out two fingers to gesture, Xiao Yan asked somewhat awkwardly, “Can you give me five hundred gold coins?” According to what Yao Lao said, five hundred gold coins would be enough to buy the herbs to refine one portion of the Foundation Building Elixir.
He planned to test the effects first.
If it felt good, he would find a way to borrow more money from his parents or Chu Xiao.
By then, he could refine more portions to sell at high prices, achieving a financial cycle.
Alternatively, he could directly find a reason to cooperate with the clan.
The words Chu Xiao used to reprimand Nalan Yanran in the hall today had also been taken to heart by him.
The clan spent resources to nurture him; if he had the ability, he should always repay them.
Otherwise, what would be the difference between him and an ungrateful wolf?
“Five hundred gold coins?” Chu Xiao snapped his fingers, and two purple cards appeared between his fingers.
These were cards that only Da Dou Shi or a force of the Xiao Clan’s level could apply for in most merchant firms of the Jia Ma Empire; one card could draw three thousand gold coins.
Seeing the way Xiao Yan’s eyes lit up, Chu Xiao asked knowingly, “If you truly need it, I can even give you five thousand gold coins.
But you’re not even a Dou Zhe yet; what do you need so much money for?” The native Xiao Yan had been strictly managed by Fang Yi since childhood.
Although he was a bit arrogant during his genius period, he didn’t have the bad habits of those hedonistic young masters and didn’t have much spare cash on him.
Given his current awkward status in the Xiao Clan, there were only three people he could ask for money.
Xun Er was not included; in fact, if Xiao Yan had to choose, she might be ranked last in the entire Xiao Clan.
Simply because from childhood to adulthood, the two of them had a very cold relationship and were somewhat at odds over claiming ownership of their cousin.
If it weren’t for the fear of making it difficult for Chu Xiao to be in the middle, combined with Xiao Yan’s very low mood over these three years, the relationship might have become even worse, and they might have even come to blows.
By then, it would have turned into Xun Er unilaterally beating up Xiao Yan.
“Cousin, I’ll tell you, but you can’t say it out for the time being.” Xiao Yan leaned close to Chu Xiao with a mysterious look, but his clenched hands betrayed his true feelings; he was actually very nervous.
Chu Xiao pretended not to see it and nodded slightly.
“Rest assured, you know me.
For things that don’t violate principles, my lips are sealed.
Sometimes I’ll even provide cover for you.” This so-called principle was very flexible, and the final right of interpretation belonged to him.
However, Xiao Yan clearly trusted him very much.
Ignoring Yao Lao’s dissuasion in his ear, he said, “I met a mysterious person suspected to be an Alchemist who said he can solve my problem of being unable to cultivate.
The requirement is that I take him as my teacher.” “I don’t want to turn this into a transaction.
I want to use my own money to buy herbs.
If he can really refine a pill to help me recover, I will take him as my teacher.” Speaking to this point, Xiao Yan paused before continuing, “That person’s strength is stronger than my mother’s; he definitely won’t be lying to me.
There’s no need for that.” In these words, not a single sentence was false; it was just a matter of holding back certain details.
Chu Xiao knew everything.
Asking Xiao Yan wasn’t to get an answer, but just to follow the process; otherwise, it would be too strange.
“There’s such a good thing?” Chu Xiao’s eyes lit up, and he immediately placed the two purple cards in Xiao Yan’s hand.
“Use this money boldly and confidently.
If that Alchemist can really help you recover your talent, then he is a benefactor to my entire Xiao Clan.” “If he really is an Alchemist, being able to take him as a teacher is the luck of you and the entire Xiao Clan.” This unconditional trust made Xiao Yan deeply moved once again.
His Adam’s apple moved.
“Cousin, don’t you suspect I’m lying to you for money?” “Would you lie to me for money?” Chu Xiao asked back.
“Of course not,” Xiao Yan answered decisively.
“Not for anything.” “Then that’s fine.” Chu Xiao naturally hooked his arm around Xiao Yan’s neck and walked with him toward Xiao Zhan’s courtyard.
“Today is your brother’s eighteenth birthday.
If your cultivation can recover, that’s a double blessing.
You’ll have to eat more later.” “No, it’s a triple blessing.” Xiao Yan’s ears turned red.
In the ring, Yao Lao nodded with satisfaction.
There’s also the joy of taking me as a teacher.
“Triple blessing?” Chu Xiao raised an eyebrow.
“Also the marriage annulment with Nalan Yanran.” Xiao Yan said with a serious expression, “To have nothing to do with that kind of woman, isn’t that a joyful matter?” Yao Lao’s smile froze inside the ring: ?
I thought it was me!
“You’re right!” Chu Xiao gave a thumbs up.
“Three years from today, you’ll have to go to the Yun Lan Sect and win against her.
That’ll be even more joyful.” “I definitely will!” Xiao Yan’s tone was firm.
The two walked forward, talking and laughing.
Chu Xiao was in no hurry to use the copy binding opportunity because Xiao Yan didn’t look like he had a copy.
But it couldn’t be ruled out that he was good at pretending, and there was also a Yao Chen who needed testing.
Thinking of this, with a thought, he began writing in the journal.
[Looking at it now, there’s a high probability that I have been reincarnated!] The women who were busy with their own affairs: !
As soon as Chu Xiao updated the content, the journal reminded them in their seas of consciousness.
However, they could freely choose to turn this reminder on or off.
Furthermore, when they encountered danger, the update reminder would not appear.
“Is the testing of people over?” The women all stopped the minor things they were doing and stared at the diary copy.
In the next instant, their guess was confirmed.
[Xiao Yan is really short on money and even came to ask me for a loan.
Next should be buying medicinal herbs to refine the Foundation Building Elixir.] [Cultivation during the Dou Zhi Qi stage, because the human body’s meridians are very fragile, cannot rely on external forces like pills to accelerate.
Otherwise, when the Dou Qi in the body gradually becomes stronger in the future, one will suffer from broken meridians and death because the meridians cannot withstand the increasingly strong impact of the Dou Qi.] [But this saying is only for small forces and remote places like the Jia Ma Empire.
In the eyes of large forces, such restrictions do not exist.
The Dou Qi Continent still has quite a few external items that can relatively mildly accelerate the cultivation speed of the Dou Zhi Qi realm.
A Tier 2 medicine like the Foundation Building Elixir is one such example.
I have to verify it.] [If this matter truly happens, then the other matters are also highly likely to be true, indicating that I have truly been reincarnated.] The women: ?
That’s it?
It’s over?
A mere guess is worth you writing about?
Why don’t you elaborate on other things?
However, many people still found the information they wanted from it.
“As expected, he is in the Jia Ma Empire.” Xiao Yi Xian, Medusa, and Yun Yun, women who were also in the Jia Ma Empire, were not surprised.
Because they were also here, they naturally felt that Chu Xiao was here as well.
Unfortunately, the location and identity information were still not specific enough.
“Why didn’t he write more?” (END CHAPTER) CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Blue_Silver1 Thank you for the support, friends.
