Chapter 9 Humiliation?

"Don't, don't, don't"

Butler Zhao didn't expect this man to be such a scoundrel. He originally planned to play a trick on him and give him the money after he bowed his head and begged for mercy. He didn't intend to default on the debt.

After all, families that live among the casual cultivators all attach great importance to reputation. Otherwise, who would dare to trade with you?

"Here you go, all yours, get out of here now." Butler Zhao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said hurriedly.

"So this old bastard wanted to take my hard-earned money." Jiang He ignored him and continued to yell loudly.

"Shut up! How can this be? A cultivator has no dignity at all, and has no dignity at all just to ask for a few dozen spirit stones."

The girl's cold voice came from inside the Zhao residence, with a hint of irritability.

Zhao Qiujun was feeling depressed. She had always been resistant to the marriage arranged by her family and practiced hard just to control her own destiny.

At the age of eighteen, he entered the eighth level of Qi training and became an inner disciple of the Wuya Sect.

The Lin family happened to be in decline, and Lin Chi's cultivation had not improved at all.

Under her firm opposition, the Zhao family finally canceled the engagement.

As a result, Lin Chi somehow attached himself to Elder Liu, physically slapped the Zhao family in the face in public, and even threatened to break off the engagement himself.

How could she, who already thought highly of herself, endure such a great humiliation?
In her eyes, Jiang He was a cultivator in his forties whose cultivation level was not as high as hers. He just ate and waited for death all day long and was like a waste. Just looking at him made her look dirty.

If it were usual, she would not bother to pay attention, but today she was in a bad mood.

"Miss, these so-called few dozen spirit stones were earned with my life. Is face more important than life?"

What he said was true. After being slapped, my predecessor was no different from a dead person.

The girl in front of him was wearing a yellow skirt. Her figure was still tender, but her face was fair and flawless, showing her grace and a hint of pride between her brows.

My previous life had seen her from afar a few times. This was the young lady of the Zhao family who had broken off the engagement.

This appearance is worthy of being the female supporting role that can help the male lead break up the engagement, but it's a pity that the ending is rather tragic.
Jiang He recalled the ending of the Zhao family: that night, Lin Chi broke through the late stage of Qi training, broke into the Zhao family, and killed Zhao Qiujun's father, the head of the Zhao family, while Liu Wan secretly protected and assisted Lin Chi in killing the Zhao family's foundation-building ancestor.

All the Manchus were annihilated and piled up into a Jingguan.

Zhao Qiujun’s head was piled on the top of the Jingguan. It has to be said that this male protagonist was really decisive and ruthless.

I don’t know how many innocent people died.

I didn’t think much of this novel when I first read it, but after coming to this world, every person I come into contact with is a living being rather than just cold words.

Even the sarcastic housekeeper Zhao, or this arrogant eldest lady.

Is there really a way to die?
Hearing this, Zhao Qiujun's expression became even more contemptuous. In her opinion, who didn't know Lin Chi's spiritual skills, Jiang He was just slapped in the face, but he shamelessly said that he paid for it with his life.

I want to see how shameless this middle-aged monk is.

Thinking of this, she grabbed a handful of spirit stones from her purse and threw them on the ground casually.

In the sunlight, the round and crystal-clear spiritual stone emitted a faint light, rolling around her small embroidered shoes: "This spiritual stone, do you want to take it or not?"

Hearing this, Jiang He got angry:

"Miss, why are you humiliating me like this? This spirit stone is what I deserve."

"How could my Zhao family do such a thing?" Zhao Qiujun crossed his arms, looking arrogant, "This spiritual stone is an extra reward for you. In consideration of your hard work and great contributions."

She deliberately emphasized the hard work and great contribution at the end.

Is there such a good thing?
It seems that this young lady has become stupid from practicing all day long, and has no idea of ​​the difficult living conditions of independent practitioners in the outside world.

My previous life was considered well-off, after all, I was a middle-aged man at the sixth level of Qi training, and I could earn ten spirit stones a month as a guard at the Zhao family. However, those cultivators at the early stage of Qi training, who worked hard to draw talismans, might not even earn ten spirit stones a month.

Dignity? Is it important to have a life?

At least he doesn't have the foundation yet. Living alone is fine, but there are three little girls behind him.
Jiang He pounced on his food like a hungry tiger, and hurriedly picked up the spirit stone that had rolled to the ground.

Until I saw a pair of embroidered shoes in front of me, and then looking up I could see white stockings wrapped around tight calves.

I don't know if the young lady's legs are white, but they are definitely very long.
"Well, Miss, please move your feet."

Several spirit stones were scattered between her feet. Zhao Qiujun looked at Jiang He, who was already busy picking up spirit stones at her feet. She quickly covered her mouth and nose and took two steps back in disgust.

Jiang He was speechless for a while.

Damn girl, I will remember this grudge.

When you are beheaded by Lin Chi, you will have to pee a few times.

Jiang He left the Zhao family with a huge amount of spirit stones in his pocket, feeling satisfied.

There were often cultivators passing by on the road, and Jiang He always felt that their eyes were vaguely cast towards the spirit stone in his arms, making him unable to help but tighten his grip on the long sword at his waist.

But when I looked up, the feeling of being watched disappeared.

But on the way back, I didn't encounter any scenes of murder and robbery.

"I am just too nervous. It is nothing for a sixth-level cultivator to have hundreds of spirit stones. It is just that my previous life was too poor."

Jiang He laughed at himself in his heart.

I have offended the Zhao family this time, but they will not come again in the future.

The ten spirit stones for this month, the twenty spirit stones as compensation, plus the fifteen spirit stones lost by Zhao Qiujun, and the nineteen spirit stones left by himself, totaling sixty-four spirit stones.

With this money, many plans can be implemented.

Jiang He was thinking about future changes.

Lin Chi’s broken engagement is the beginning of the novel, and various events follow from there.

The first to be hit was the destruction of Wuya Sect. Liu Wan had been lurking in Wuya Sect for more than ten years, from the Qi training stage to the foundation building stage, and finally became a guest elder, but she never forgot her original intention.

After figuring out the Wuya Sect's formation and strengths and weaknesses, he finally found a perfect opportunity, contacted the Xuanming Sect to launch a surprise attack, and captured Qingmu City in one fell swoop.

Lin Chi was originally hunted by Wuya Sect for slaughtering the Zhao family, and fled from Qingmu City in a panic. Therefore, he returned as an inner sect disciple of Xuanming Sect.

These wars have nothing to do with them, the lower-level cultivators. As long as they do not take the initiative to participate, the Xuanming Sect will not make things difficult for them.

However, it is possible to make some money from the war. Although Qingmu Castle suffered from exploitation under the rule of Wuyamen, it has enjoyed peace for a long time.

Combat talismans are not selling well, but once a war breaks out, the price of this thing will skyrocket.

The market in Dongfang City is obviously more prosperous than that in Xifang City. Jiang He thought of the look Bai Minxin had given to Tanghulu before, and simply bought a rack of Tanghulu.

Then he carried the shelf to the dairy shop and ordered a month's supply of spiritual milk for three people. Since the word "spiritual" was mentioned in this milk, the price more than doubled, and it cost him nine spiritual stones.

The three children were in very poor health, so Jiang He thought of buying some milk to nourish them. He immediately went to place an order.

After placing the order, I started to regret it. Now I don't have a stable source of spiritual stones. Every spiritual stone should be used wisely.

Jiang He sighed.
