Yuan Ziyi’s eyes widened immediately, and he cried out involuntarily, “What!?”
Ye Huaguo repeated, “Medicine! I, I, I, I have a lot!”
“This, this… Human life is at stake, young lady, please don’t joke around!” The scholar was so excited that he waved his hands repeatedly and stuttered, “The wounds caused by the erosion of yin qi cannot be healed easily! The Academy has been searching for more than ten years…”
“—Okay, don’t be so noisy!”
A cold and deep voice suddenly rang out, and actually frightened Yuan Ziyi into shutting up.
Fang Zhiyuan sat down next to Lin Fuqing with dark eyes and his arms crossed. With a thought, the illusion that concealed his appearance was silently broken, revealing his sharp and deep handsome features.
“You are!” Yuan Ziyi was even more shocked, “You…you guys are…”
The Xuyun Sect was a reclusive sect, and the few inner disciples rarely showed up in public… But there were still a few people who recognized Second Fang Shixiong, the “star of calamity” cursed by most of the immortal world.
Fang Zhiyuan’s eyes froze into ice. “Master Yuan, don’t you know where Xuyun Sect is? Have you never heard of the Star of Calamity? I used to take the medicine you asked for every day.”
“……..”
Yuan Ziyi was stunned, looking like a wooden chicken.
“Alas, you have been searching for something but to no avail…” Lin Fuqing sipped his tea helplessly and raised his eyes. “Why didn’t you tell us earlier? Huaguo, give him the medicine.”
Ye Huaguo suddenly panicked again. “Ah… but it seems that most of them have been distributed to Second Fang Shixiong and the outer sect disciples! I, I, I, I’ll look for it again!”
She fumbled around in her bag for a long time before finally pulling out a dirty little white porcelain medicine bottle.
She shook it, and there was a clinking sound, indicating at least a dozen pills inside.
“Here.” Ye Huaguo stuffed the porcelain bottle into his hand and smiled gently: “For, for you.”
Because we both stutter.
Before Yuan Ziyi could turn from a wooden chicken back into a human, he was dizzy again by the words “For you” from the girl in green.
He was horrified. “I can’t take this! I absolutely cannot take this! No reward without merit. This medicine is so precious, I must…”
“Keep it, Master Yuan.” Lin Fuqing leaned back in his seat. “If you really want to calculate the price, you can’t afford it.”
After saying that, he heaved a sigh of relief, worrying about what to do now that Fang Zhiyuan had given away 20,000 taels of spirit stones.
Yuan Ziyi hesitated for a moment, then bowed deeply. “I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. Shisong Academy owes Xuyun a favor.”
As he finished his greeting, the auctioneer on the scene announced that the auction was over.
The guests left one after another.
The Xuyun’s group first saw Yuan Ziyi off, counted the things they had bought, and finally came out of the box and followed the instructions of the Golden Toad House waiter to the front desk to pay the bill.
Yes, it was time to pay the bill.
The various items purchased earlier were worth about 30,000 taels of spirit stones, which was actually the limit for several people.
But a certain immortal asked for 20,000 taels right away…
Lin Fuqing gathered his sleeves and said calmly, “Second Fang Shixiong, pay.”
Xun Mingsi and Ye Huaguo were both sweating, quietly watching from behind.
…Of course Fang Zhiyuan didn’t have the money.
When they were on Taiqing Island, Xun Mingsi was the one who managed the accounts. Every time they left the island, they would leave most of the money and belongings with Third Xun.
As for how much the others carried with them, at most they had a few thousand taels of spirit stones.
And Second Fang Shixiong was definitely not the type of person who would secretly hide some of his own money…
Fang Zhiyuan was not in a hurry and narrowed his eyes. “You wait.”
Then he strode to the front desk and glanced at the waiter who was presenting the bill.
In the next moment, the handsome young man in black leaned forward, pressed his well defined hands on the list, and the corners of his lips curved in a smile.
“All expenses for the jiamao box tonight will be charged to the account of the Golden Osmanthus Palace.”
“……”
“…………”
What a shocking statement.
Not only was the waiter at the Golden Toad House stunned, even Xuyun’s three fellow disciples who were waiting to see the show were stunned.
The waiter trembled and said, “Sir, this… this is not something to joke about…”
Fang Zhiyuan said, “I’m not kidding. Right now, you can send a letter to Immortal Sovereign Lin in the Golden Osmanthus Palace and ask him, and you will know.”
The waiter was stunned. “No, no, guest! This is really not something you can joke about…!!”
Ask for money from Immortal Lu, the leader of Golden Osmanthus Palace?!
What a concept!
If this was in the mortal world, it would probably be like an ordinary commoner with a lot of debt suddenly waving his hands proudly and saying – go to the imperial palace to ask for money, and put my debt on the head of the current emperor!
Lin Fuqing’s expression changed several times, and he stepped forward and gently pulled Fang Zhiyuan’s sleeve. “What are you doing?”
He didn’t suspect that Fang Zhiyuan would make a scene.
How could he not know what kind of temper this star, whom he’d raised since childhood, had? When he was young, Fang Zhiyuan was wild and unruly – but he had dignity and backbone. He would never do such a thing as owing debts outside and bringing shame to his fellow apprentices, even if it meant death.
Not to mention that after so much time had passed, the current Immortal Sovereign Fang was no longer the half-crazy young man who would do anything as long as he had a sword in his hand.
But… look now, this character of being able to scare people to death without any compensation and being so bold that he wasn’t afraid of even the God of Heaven, seemed to be unwilling to change at all.
Fang Zhiyuan turned his head, revealing dark, blazing eyes. He put his lips close to Lin Fuqing’s ear.
“…Shige, don’t you want to take this opportunity to test why Golden Osmanthus Palace was so attentive to us this morning? How much of it was sincere and how much was false?”
Lin Fuqing understood immediately and was both angry and amused. “So you’re messing with others?”
Fang Zhiyuan’s slightly warm breath brushed against his snow-white earlobe, tickling it. The voice close at hand was low and magnetic, with a hint of evil teasing.
“They said it themselves. No matter how big or small the problem is, we can go to Golden Osmanthus Palace to solve it. Then we will… not be polite.”
“……..”
Very inappropriately, Lin Fuqing was distracted by something else instead.
…His little troublemaker has a really nice voice.
Especially when the voice was deliberately lowered to a low and hoarse tone. It was simply outright seductive and alluring.
With his mind distracted, he didn’t have the heart to blame Fang Zhiyuan for playing such a risky trick. The latter was quite happy that he didn’t get scolded by his senior brother for being crazy, so he pulled Lin Fuqing to sit aside and wait for the result.
Third Xun and Fourth Ye were stunned. They looked at each other and came to the conclusion: Da shixiong is indulging second shixiong’s misbehavior again!
After a while, the waiter came back.
His face was pale, and he bowed sharply. “I am beyond horrified for neglecting the distinguished guests of Golden Osmanthus Palace!!”
Fang Zhiyuan: “…Heh.”
Lin Fuqing was silent.
“Golden Osmanthus Palace has paid all your bills…Also, this is something that Immortal Sovereign Lu specially asked the Golden Toad House to pass on to you. Please accept it.”
What was handed over was a Qiankun bag. Lin Fuqing took it in his hand and probed into it with his mind, wanting to see what was inside.
It would have been fine if he hadn’t checked, but as soon as he did, his expression suddenly became strange.
The hand holding the bag was shaking slightly.
Fang Zhiyuan: “?”
Lin Fuqing closed his eyes and said softly, “One…”
“A hundred?” Fang Zhiyuan frowned. “Did the Golden Osmanthus Palace give you an extra hundred taels of spirit stones? With just this little, how can Lu Kuifu afford to give it to you?”
Lin Fuqing shook his head with difficulty, “With many zeros…”
“Ten thousand taels?”
Lin Fuqing threw it to him. “Look at it yourself.”
Fang Zhiyuan looked at him doubtfully and sent his mind into the bag.
…Then he stopped talking too.
Ye Huaguo was curious. “What is it?”
Fang Zhiyuan had no expression on his face: “…Spirit stones. One million taels.”
Xun Mingsi: “…”
Ye Huaguo: “…”
“——??!!!”
Lin Fuqing sighed. “It’s true…”
—Who would have thought that the small Qiankun bag was actually filled with a small mountain of spirit stones! Shining brightly!!!
When Lin Fuqing and Fang Zhiyuan put their spiritual thoughts in, they were almost blinded by the light one after the other… No, their souls were almost blinded by the light.
Lin Fuqing took a deep breath and rubbed his brows, “…Zhiyuan, don’t go back to the inn later. Walk around with me…I have something to tell you.”
He waved at Third Xun and Fourth Ye who hadn’t reacted yet, and his snow-white sleeves fluttered like flowing clouds. “As for the two of you, go back and sleep quickly.”
“……”
Ye Huaguo was stunned for a long time, then cried out in confusion. “Da, Da Shixiong… do you think I can… can sleep like this?!”
