Hua Yufeng and his companions added a few more talismans and artifacts before leaving. Recently, the mercenary group had been financially strained, so the items they purchased were of low grade. When it came time to settle the bill, the receptionist’s demeanor was cold and indifferent, leaving Hua Yufeng red-faced and embarrassed, as he was usually concerned about his image.
“Selling for twelve thousand, huh?”
“Where does Young Master Xiao come up with so much money? Even his parents would feel the pinch. If his father is reluctant to pay off his debts, Xiao will be in trouble.”
“He’s just relying on his father’s wealth. If he doesn’t pay, he can always ask his dad for help.”
“That tower is indeed impressive. Originally intended for Foundation Building cultivators, but due to some issues during its refinement, its grade was lowered. Nonetheless, the materials used are quite valuable.”
“But it’s still a failed artifact!”
“It’s been sitting here for days. Many elders from families at the Seventh Qi Layer have been tempted by it but hesitated to buy. They didn’t expect Xiao to snatch it up.”
…
Xiao Jingting’s lavish spending stirred up discussions among the staff at the trading house.
Sun Qi and Zheng Liming walked into the trading house, hearing the praise for Xiao Jingting’s lavish spending.
“Xiao Jingting, this guy, is actually so wealthy,” Sun Qi exclaimed in amazement. Although Xiao Jingting used to be richer than them, he had never been this wealthy before. Occasionally, he would buy gifts worth seven or eight hundred taels of silver to please Miss Sun, but that was the extent of it.
To spend tens of thousands of taels like this, he had really become extravagant.
Zheng Liming said jealously, “What luck this guy has!”
“He wouldn’t have stumbled upon a gold mine, would he?” Sun Qi wondered. Although it was only a down payment of thirty thousand, it was still a considerable sum of money.
“He probably didn’t stumble upon a gold mine, but rather, some extraordinary treasures. This guy must have discovered more than one extraordinary treasure,” Zheng Liming said enviously.
Sun Qi nodded in agreement, saying, “Makes sense.”
Sun Qi secretly regretted that Xiao Jingting’s attitude towards them had become much colder this time. If it had been before, he would have been able to benefit a lot from following Xiao Jingting. Now that Xiao Jingting was so wealthy, even a small favor from him would be more than enough for Sun Qi. Sun Qi regretted that if he had known earlier, he would have given Xiao Jingting a few dozen taels of silver to appease him. Perhaps there would still be room for reconciliation now.
“This guy only paid a down payment of thirty thousand, but there’s still a large sum of money to be repaid later. He shouldn’t be counting on your parents to help him repay it. Although Xiao Jingting is favored, the one his parents cherish the most is Xiao Qingyan. Xiao Qingyan doesn’t even have ten thousand taels of pocket money a month,” Zheng Liming muttered.
“Now that he’s bought it, he can’t back out. His parents will definitely help him repay it. Are they going to watch him get beaten to death by debt collectors?” Sun Qi said.
Zheng Liming nodded and said, “That makes sense.”
…
“Miss Sun, do you need anything else?” The receptionist looked at Sun Miaoyin, who seemed lost in thought.
Sun Miaoyin replied indifferently, “No, that’s all.”
Previously, when Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng came to the shop, Sun Miaoyin was also there, but they were too focused on looking at the merchandise and didn’t notice her. Sun Miaoyin didn’t approach them either.
Sun Miaoyin remembered Xiao Jinfeng’s demeanor and thought that this fiancé she had been engaged to since childhood was also a remarkable figure, far from what she had imagined.
Shaking her head inwardly, Sun Miaoyin thought that even though Xiao Jinfeng was not bad, he couldn’t compare to Zhou Kanghe.
Xiao Jingting had just been very generous, buying a tower worth tens of thousands of taels without hesitation.
Sun Miaoyin remembered her sister’s words. Her sister had said that Xiao Jingting, this guy, not only wanted to eat swan meat but also hesitated to spend money. He always tried to please her with some items worth only a few hundred taels, but Sun Miaomiao was not so easily pleased. If Xiao Jingting were to give this tower to her sister, she might just be moved.
Xiao Jingting played with the spiritual tower in his hand, reluctant to put it down. He had set his eyes on this spiritual tower at first glance and finally bought it.
??In his joy, there was also a tinge of pain. For this spiritual tower, he had become a debtor again.
??Putting away the spiritual tower, Xiao Jingting strolled the streets with Xiao Jinong and Xu Mu’an. Suddenly, a guard hurriedly approached them.
??”Two young masters, please hurry back. Little Fan has gotten into a fight again.”
??Xiao Jingting: “…Fighting again? I’ve only been back home for a few days!”
??Xiao Jingting and the others hurried back home. In the hall, Xiao Xiaofan was hiding behind Mu Shuyu, glaring angrily at the other children.
??”Third Brother, you’re back. Your son is getting more and more outrageous. He actually commanded the beasts to attack his cousin. He’s truly insane,” Mu Shuyu said to Xiao Jingting.
??Xiao Jingting looked at Xiao Xiaofan and listened to his explanation. “Dad, that’s not true. I asked Xiao Yun to take me flying, and they shot arrows at us from below. Xiao Yun got angry and scratched them.”
??”They were just playing around, but you resorted to violence. And now you dare to complain first,” Zheng Peier said angrily.
??”They weren’t just playing. They wanted to kill me. Xiao Yun got injured by them too,” Xiao Xiaofan said.
??Xiao Jingting was furious. “Sister-in-law, my son was flying on a beast in the sky. How could your son randomly shoot arrows? If he had injured my son, what would you have done? He’s the one committing murder! You’re being shameless and distorting the truth, acting disgracefully.”
??Zheng Peier was trembling with anger. “Third Brother, how could you say that? Your son is unscathed, while mine suffered.”
??”He deserves it for his evil intentions and his actions. Sister-in-law, your son still has injuries on his head. Why didn’t you watch him properly? You let him run wild. You’ve taught him to be so malicious at such a young age, always bullying the weak,” Xiao Jingting said resentfully.
??”You…” Zheng Peier was so angry that she was fuming.
??”Enough, it’s just a squabble between children, nothing serious. Let’s just forget about it,” Xiao Qingyan said.
??Upon hearing Xiao Qingyan’s words, Zheng Peier was so angry that she shot Xiao Qingyan a glare but reluctantly remained silent.
??Xiao Jingting looked at Xiao Qingyan with surprise. He couldn’t understand when his elder brother had become so tolerant. This matter was just brushed aside so easily.
??”Third Brother, I heard you spent over ten thousand taels to buy a useless artifact,” Xiao Qingyan asked.
??Xiao Jingting: “…Oh.” He wondered why Xiao Qingyan hadn’t mentioned the previous incident. So it was waiting for him to bring it up.
??”It costs over ten thousand taels, but I don’t have that much money. I only paid a deposit of three thousand taels, and the rest will be paid slowly,” Xiao Jingting said.
??Xiao Qingyan narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself: Xiao Jingting seems to have intensified his habit of spending recklessly. Spending over ten thousand taels on an artifact just like that. The artifact he uses is only a ten thousand tael Qingyun Sword, which many envy.
??”Third Brother, you are indeed extravagant,” Xiao Qingyan said.
??Xiao Linfeng and Wang Lu both looked a little uncomfortable. While they could afford to spend over ten thousand taels, it was still a considerable amount of money for them.
