Leng Qiuyue was so excited that she expressed her true thoughts.
But such a temperament made Qi Yan feel at a loss.
"Mother..."
Ju You, who was playing at the door, heard Leng Qiuyue's words and thought it was his mother who was angry again, so she called out, which eased the embarrassing situation a little.
Seeing this, Qi Yan quickly picked up the tea cup and took a big sip of tea to relieve his inner uneasiness.
After finishing the drink, he said righteously: "Sister-in-law, who do you think I am? Why do you treat me so badly?"
"..."
Leng Qiuyue also knew that what she just said was a bit reckless, but based on the facts, she seemed to feel that she was not wrong.
"Did you come to Qingxia Mountain to find a suitable Taoist companion?"
"yes."
"Since the purpose is to find a Taoist companion, is it also to 'spread the branches'?"
"Yes." Although Qi Yan didn't want to admit this, it must be a smooth process.
"Then it's appropriate for me to be your Taoist companion, right?"
"..."
Qi Yan was stunned, knowing that what the other party said was all nonsense, but he couldn't find any specific fault, as if he was really a perfect wife and son.
After a long silence, he finally let out a long breath of relief and said in compromise: "That's all..."
"Just now, my sister-in-law said that if I help take care of Tachibana, all the spiritual stones you earn when you go out, except for the monthly rent, will be handed over to me?"
"good..."
"I want to know how my sister-in-law plans to earn spiritual stones?"
Qi Yan looked at Leng Qiuyue with a scrutinizing gaze. Since he agreed to help, he naturally knew the basic risk estimates. If the other party was engaged in a high-risk and high-return industry, if anything unexpected happened in the future, wouldn't he have been raised by others in vain? child?
Although the other party is related to me, the human relationship is not enough to allow me to take such a big risk.
"this..."
Facing Qi Yan's questions, Leng Qiuyue hesitated for a moment.
According to her idea, she originally planned to rely on her beauty to go to the market to make "furnaces" for those high-level monks, and the so-called "furnaces" were a positive relationship between men and women in bed. .
"What? If my sister-in-law can't even tell her this, how can she talk about what happened just now?"
"No no no..."
Leng Qiuyue was afraid that Qi Yan would regret it, so she quickly explained.
Then, he informed Qi Yan of his thoughts through voice transmission.
However, after Qi Yan heard this, a complicated look appeared on his face.
"Oh, ridiculous~"
Qi Yan shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law, no matter how bad you are, you don't have to do this to yourself, right?"
"Then what can I do?"
Leng Qiuyue suddenly felt aggrieved and said pitifully: "Tangerine is still young, and the monthly rent is so high. Do you think I, a female cultivator on the sixth level of Qi training, can afford it?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Yan saw tears streaming down his face when the other party mentioned the house rent. He seemed to understand the big hole he had just dug, and was speechless for a moment.
And Xiaoju saw her mother crying again at this time. She was still young and indiscriminate, mistakenly thinking that Qi Yan had bullied her mother, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Bad uncle...Bad uncle..."
When he was crying, he was about to run over and beat Qi Yan for revenge.
However, Leng Qiuyue hugged her and comforted her: "Don't cry, Uncle Qi didn't bully my mother~"
When Qi Yan saw this, he was stunned for a moment, and his disgust turned into sympathy. To be precise, he was moved by Leng Qiuyue's motherly spirit.
Then he made up his mind and comforted Leng Qiuyue: "What I just said was indeed inappropriate. Please forgive me, sister-in-law."
"Since this house is currently rented in the name of my sister-in-law, I will rent it jointly with my sister-in-law in the name of a tenant and bear half of the rent every month."
"Is this true?" Leng Qiuyue seemed to see hope when she heard this.
"really."
Qi Yan nodded solemnly.
Then he gave up and Qi Yan excused himself to go out on important matters and stepped out of the back room.
When passing by the courtyard, Qi Yan saw other new leaves emerging from the pond on the fallen lotus leaves, and buds were slowly growing on the peach tree at the door.
And Leng Qiuyue stared blankly at Qi Yan's leaving figure, murmuring with reddish eyes: "Albizia Julibrissin Peach Core will eventually be hated, and there is no one else here like Xu Yuanlai."
Then he smiled, like a bud that Qi Yan saw...
...
In Fangshi,
Qi Yan walked alone on the busy road.
There is no shortage of ordinary people driving cars and selling pulp around, and there is also no shortage of shop hawkers who are having fun, such as "Qiting Restaurant", "Wanhua Building", "Jubao Pavilion" and "Crispy Fish Restaurant".
But more of them are practitioners who come and go frequently, either walking together or setting up street stalls to buy and sell things.
"Fellow Taoist, Blood Ganoderma and Silver Snow Grass, come and take a look?"
"Body control talisman, air control talisman, take a look, take a look..."
"Blue light sword, soft paint armor, don't miss it if you pass by..."
...
Every time Qi Yan took a few steps, someone would come up to chat with him and yell at him.
When he first arrived here, he was naturally curious when he saw new things, but he only took a cursory look and didn't really want to buy them.
What's more, even if he wanted to buy it, there were only a few spirit stones in the storage bag.
Although he picked up the storage bags of the three monks on the trail of Qingxia Mountain, Qi Yan had to share them equally with the Gu family, and finally got eight middle-grade spiritual stones, plus With Shopkeeper Zhong's share of money and some of the spiritual stones he earned from his part-time job as a storyteller, he considered himself to be somewhat wealthy.
But it turned out that when he first came to Fangshi, he threw away twenty middle-grade spiritual stones because he was happy to help others.
So far, apart from Old Man Zhong's money, there are only more than a hundred low-grade spiritual stones left...
If this amount of wealth were placed in Wengcheng, it would not be difficult to support himself, but now he also has Leng Qiuyue, mother and daughter, and according to local income standards, he can be said to be very poor.
And based on the discussion I had with the old man from Qingxia Mountain at that time, if I couldn't pay the rent next month, the deposit would automatically be balance by then, so the time left for me to make money now would be no more than two months at most.
And then there will be ten middle-grade spiritual stones!
'well...'
'When I first arrived in Qingxia Shanfang City, I took on a mortgage for no reason. The developer sincerely did not deceive me~'
Qi Yan then sighed, and the lines on his eyebrows couldn't help but become deeper and deeper.
Then his eyes moved slightly, and he walked towards the most crowded area in the city.
'Since the drawn talismans are very popular in Wengcheng, they should also be sold in the market. ', Qi Yan thought as he walked.
After a while, I noticed a shop called "Jianbao Building".
Qi Yan subconsciously looked around, and after careful consideration, he walked into the door of "Jinbao Pavilion".
