Chapter 29 Girl
Soon, one dish after another was served.
Wu Qinghuan ate with great elegance, chewing each bite slowly.
Xu Nian, on the other hand, didn't care about her image at all.
They devoured everything in no time, and the meal was almost finished in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Settle the bill with the restaurant staff in advance.
The recovered gold and silver were placed in the cloth bag at his waist.
"By the way, don't you need to break your spirit stone?" Xu Nian suddenly remembered that Wu Qinghuan's spirit stone was still there.
The junior brother shook his head.
He said calmly, "No need, my senior brother Hua's will do."
Xu Nian was bewildered.
Just call him your senior brother Hua.
What's mine is mine.
What's yours is yours.
You spend my money, but whose money do I spend?
Although I don't actually have that many things I need to buy.
Xu Nian gave him a strange look.
That brat Wu Qinghuan, isn't he treating me like family?
Oh well, oh well…
Who told me to be the senior student?
As a senior, I should take care of and cherish my junior.
Is there anything wrong with that?
"alright."
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, they left the restaurant.
There were far fewer people on the streets at noon.
The sun was high in the sky, and the sunlight was scorching.
The street vendors all retreated to the eaves.
Try to stay in the shadows as much as possible.
Xu Nian and Wu Qinghuan, both fellow disciples, were at the fifth level of Body Tempering, so they were not afraid of high temperatures.
The two of them had already bought the jade pendant.
Although it doesn't contain any spiritual power, the craftsmanship is exquisite.
I originally only wanted to buy one for my junior brother as a gift.
But Wu Qinghuan was very stubborn and insisted that each of them take one piece.
He seemed to like it very much.
After buying it, I've kept it hanging on my waist, rubbing it from time to time.
But when Xu Nian asked him what he thought of the jade pendant...
The junior brother shook his head expressionlessly, indicating that it was just so-so.
Then continue to hold it in your palm.
Ha, arrogant.
As she was walking, Wu Qinghuan suddenly stopped.
Look in one direction.
Xu Nian found it strange and stopped, following his gaze.
"Didn't you hear me tell you to get out? Is this a place for begging? Go beg outside the city! This corpse is stinking! So many people are out on the streets in this sweltering heat! Do you expect everyone to come and smell this stench?"
"sorry Sorry…"
A petite girl dressed in simple clothes knelt on the street.
An apology delivered in a hoarse voice.
An adult woman was lying on the straw mat in front of her.
The woman's skin had turned pale.
It emits a faint odor.
On the other side were several burly men, who, judging by their clothes, appeared to be waiters from a nearby restaurant.
“That person is already dead,” Xu Nian said.
It's probably something like selling oneself into servitude to bury one's mother.
What a poor man.
Wu Qinghuan slowly turned her head and looked at the cloth bag at Xu Nian's waist.
He glanced at his wallet, then at Xu Nian.
not talking.
Xu Nian remained silent.
If you want to give money, just say so. Why put on such a cold and heartless act?
However, to be fair, the junior disciples at this stage are indeed kind-hearted.
Seeing something like this, how could they still offer help?
Sure enough, he wasn't that bad at heart.
It's just that back then, in the Blissful Sect, I was influenced by what I saw and heard, and was corrupted.
Everything is fine now.
He's just a cute, arrogant junior brother who doesn't have much of a mind.
Xu Nian nodded in satisfaction.
We commend our junior brother for his righteous act.
Even though he used his own money to help out.
"Here you go." Xu Nian pulled off the cloth bag from her waist and handed it to Wu Qinghuan.
He did not accept it.
They even took a step back.
What do you mean? You don't want to be a good person?
You want me to go over and help?
Okay, okay.
Xu Nian shook her head helplessly and could only take the money bag and walk up herself.
Coming closer.
They stopped the guy who was about to kick someone.
The other person's eyes widened in surprise.
Just as he was about to lash out, he saw Xu Nian's face.
He forced himself to suppress his temper.
It wasn't because Xu Nian was handsome, but because he was too young.
He was just a teenager.
Yet its power was so great.
He clearly has martial arts training.
I reckon the scions raised by powerful families are people I can't afford to offend.
For the ordinary people in this small town, and the waiters in the restaurant...
Those outer disciples who were able to enter the Sword Sect to participate in the selection were already considered to be from prominent families.
Moreover, it's someone like Xu Nian who is a direct disciple.
Of course, he didn't know what personal instruction meant.
Xu Nian didn't waste any words, nor did she get angry because of the other party's rude behavior.
To be honest, you're selling yourself outside a restaurant to bury your mother, leaving her body there.
If you disrupt someone's business, isn't it normal to get beaten up?
There's nothing wrong with the staff trying to drive people away.
But this child probably had no other choice but to come here.
So, all I can say is that it's not easy for anyone.
Xu Nian didn't waste any words and handed over a silver ingot.
After thinking for a moment, he slipped another ingot to the person.
That should be enough.
"Brother, could you please find some people to bury this child's mother? This amount of silver should be enough. You can keep the rest for yourself, is that alright?"
The guy was initially a little impatient, but he held back from lashing out.
But upon hearing the rest, his eyes lit up.
Two ingots of silver!
This isn't just some loose silver! It's two solid ingots of silver!
He glanced at Xu Nian's clothes, then put it in his mouth and bit it.
Even more surprising.
"Okay, okay! No problem!" The man patted his chest and readily agreed.
Even if I worked for a year, I couldn't earn that much money!
Just by helping this little one bury her mother, she can get so much money!
Only a fool wouldn't agree to that!
Just as he was about to accept the gift, Xu Nian said again, "Please bury the body today, brother. My junior brother and I will be sightseeing in the city and will come to the restaurant later."
The waiter immediately understood what Xu Nian meant.
Don't take the money and do nothing, trying to fool people.
My brother and I have been in the city all day, and we'll come over for a check-up tonight.
The guy nodded.
Then a chill ran through me.
Fellow disciples?
Judging from their tone of voice, these two are not members of a family, but disciples of a sect.
That makes the background even more frightening.
He quickly clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, saying, "Don't worry! It won't be until tonight! It'll be done in the afternoon!"
Burying a corpse is not a big deal.
At this point, the girl kneeling on the ground finally realized what had happened.
Crying bitterly.
He kowtowed several times forcefully to Xu Nian.
"Thank you so much, benefactor! Thank you so much, benefactor!"
The girl's voice was hoarse.
She has been kneeling here for days, just to beg a kind person to buy her so that she can use the money from selling herself to bury her mother.
But I'm too thin and too small.
He is physically weak and clearly incapable of doing any heavy work.
Bringing it home would only mean one more mouth to feed.
It only adds to the burden.
She had already made up her mind to kneel for another day.
If they still can't be sold.
He then sold himself into a brothel.
He was also able to get some money to bury his mother.
This is the only option we have left, a last resort.
"I can never repay my benefactor's immense kindness in my lifetime! I am willing to serve my benefactor like a slave! I will serve my benefactor for the rest of my life!"
The girl knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
His voice was full of sincerity and gratitude.
Xu Nian was stunned.
He subconsciously turned around and found that Wu Qinghuan's face was terribly dark.
That wretched junior brother, he's getting jealous again.
You're a boy! Why are you so possessive?!
and!
Weren't you supposed to help her?
