How could Xie Qiao agree to that?
What if her five Junior Brothers found out that she was only 16? How could she live her life by then?
She had already figured it all out. When her Master passed away, she would spread the news that she died too, as she was devastated by the filial piety she had for her Master. Mo Chusheng’s identity would disappear without a trace by then. She would not have to worry about her Junior Brothers going against her.
Years would pass by. Nobody knew how long Xie Qiao could live. She would live the rest of her life with her own identity at peace.
Regarding Yun Wei’s title…
She could not announce that, as she wanted to paint more masterpieces.
The price of a painting would be different based on whether the master was a man or woman, young or old.
“Thank you for your kindness, Junior Brother. However, it’s best that I live at the Fortune Pavilion. There are many things that I need to do on a daily basis. The two places that you suggested have too many rules,” Xie Qiao said while smiling.
Zhao Xuanjing just wanted to see how far she could pretend.
“Master isn’t around, and I’m worried about Senior Sister being here alone. Since you’re unwilling to go with me, then I’ll visit frequently. It doesn’t make a difference to me,” said Zhao Xuanjing.
Xie Qiao’s eyelids twitched. “I don’t think that’s a good idea? You’re busy…”
“Not exactly. I merely monitor how others handle some cases. Moreover, Senior Sister is well-versed in both worlds. I’m at peace whenever I see you.” Zhao Xuanjing’s narrow eyes revealed a peaceful expression. He looked sincere.
Xie Qiao’s eyelids could not stop twitching.
As expected, Junior Brothers were the most troublesome beings in the world.
And she had five of them!
She had only met two.
Xie Qiao got people to place the food on the table while holding back her annoyance. She buried her head and ate, while Zhao Xuanjing sat next to her, refusing to leave. He said nothing much either. She had no idea what he was trying to do.
Two hours later, the Wei couple came. They carried something in their embrace.
One could tell that it should be a small box. It was wrapped in a soil-covered cloth.
“Immortal, we… can’t open this thing, so we brought it to you directly,” the couple said immediately.
They did that to show their sincerity as well.
The outsiders were unclear of what happened at the wax shop, but they were well aware of the facts. If the immortal had not given them the talismans, they would definitely have passed out on the ground.
Although the neighbors had woken up now, they were feeling ill from the smoke. They had returned home to rest now.
Moreover, if not for the immortal who had expelled the evil spirit, they might have died!
Xie Qiao took the box immediately.
She opened it before the couple, and her eyes lit up.
There was a pair of jade bracelets and a couple of gold hair accessories. There were two silver certificates and many silver ingots.
The items added up to at least 200 taels of silver.
“Although it’s a bit too much, I’ve discussed this with your daughter. A portion of them will be used to prepare incense to offer to the god. There’s no backing out now,” Xie Qiao explained.
“It makes sense, it does. We were worried that the items in our daughter’s box would be insufficient. Here…” They took out a certificate of 100 taels of silver and shoved it to her.
“I’ve already received payment. About this… If you guys are willing, donate food and do good deeds for your daughter outside the city with this money. It’ll help with her reincarnation.” Xie Qiao was not greedy.
“Thank you, immortal. We wonder… if we can… take a look when you send our daughter for reincarnation,” the couple asked nervously.
Xie Qiao was surprised. “Sure you can, but you guys won’t be able to see anything. We’re two worlds apart. If you guys could see her with your eyes, then the world would be in chaos.”
