"No, no, no, no!" Hu Nuan stamped his feet angrily: "I don't want to study anymore! I want to go home! I want to go home to find my mother!"
Qiao Yu stopped laughing: "Hu Nuan! Cultivation is inherently difficult, how can you give up just because of the slightest difficulty in front of you?"
Hu Nuan screamed: "You lied to me, the master is a liar!"
Qiao Yu was angry: "Master didn't lie to you. Just calm down and listen to what Master tells you."
Hu Nuan didn't listen. She was very, very angry now: "Master lied to me, you lied to me, I trusted you so much, and you lied to me!"
The key point of Hu Nuan is one word from beginning to end: lie.
Qiao Yu was about to defend himself, but Hu Nuan had already turned around, picked up the paper crane, and shouted inwardly: "Mom, my master is a liar. He deceived my feelings."
The angry Qiao Yu tilted his head, how could he deceive his feelings? What kind of weird thing was he saying?
Hu Nuan clenched his fists and stamped his feet, and made an angry accusation against Zhihe: "We are going to climb the mountain, and we have already - blah blah blah - we have all won - blah blah blah - the master said - blah blah blah
Come on—now— come on—mom, you’re so angry with me, you’re so angry with me! Ah—”
The paper crane flew away in a hurry, as if it was on fire. Hu Nuan waved his little fist at the sky from behind: "Let mom pick me up quickly."
Humph, ignore the liar master.
Qiao Yu ignored her.
After a long time, the paper crane flew back in a dangling manner.
The two of them didn't look at each other, they both stared at the paper crane.
The paper crane landed in front of Hu Nuan, and Hu Qing's calm voice came from inside.
First, there was a chuckle.
"Haha, that's it. As for your master, I don't think I'm lying to you, this is called hiding."
Hu Nuan glared at Qiao Yu, it was wrong to hide it.
Hu Qing's voice was cool: "It's also called fooling children."
Qiao Yu's face darkened.
"To put it bluntly, you are a young person who lacks social experience and is not as discerning as adults. In this way, when you come back, your mother will negotiate the contract with you. In the future, when you grow up and go outside, you will find that there are many traps in words.
Yes, don’t take it too seriously.”
"However, mother has to warn you: Never make promises to outsiders, and never lie to those you love."
Qiao Yu was stunned. Is this a slap in the face?
"You are still young and are gradually understanding the principles of life. Don't be angry and talk to your master."
Qiao Yu: Why doesn’t it sound right to you?
"But, I'm more concerned about another thing." Hu Qing changed the subject with a hint of sadness: "You are so small, already shorter than your peers. You exercise too much every day, and you tie so many sandbags to pull you down——
My dear, you won’t grow taller and become a dwarf, right?”
Not tall.
Dwarf.
The last divine twist successfully pulled the master and apprentice's attention from the higher spiritual level of credibility back to the basic survival level of growing the body.
Hu Nuan looked at Qiao Yu in horror, and Qiao Yu also looked at her in horror.
Oh my god, his apprentice—is he going to grow taller?
"Wow--"
This time, Qiao Yu knew how his apprentice cried when he was really sad.
Busyly coaxing the children.
The local Hu Qing stretched himself out of boredom. Hey, if you dare to offend my daughter, you will have to send her back to me. Otherwise, you can coax her away.
Her life here is not going well. Yesterday she went to the Jiehe River and went to a shop that sold weapons to ask about the price of the weapon refining furnace. The cheapest one cost a thousand low-grade spiritual stones. She changed it to a medium-grade spiritual stone.
There was only one piece, which didn't sound like much, but it wasn't something she could get.
But there is still hope if you work hard and save.
It's not that Hu Qing doesn't have other ideas, such as going to second-hand stores to buy things that others don't want, but his boss also made it clear that they would sell the worst kind of refining furnace for 500 spirit stones, but they didn't guarantee the quality.
If you are lucky, it will last for thirty to fifty years, but if you are unlucky, the furnace will explode the first time.
Hu Qing didn't dare to bet, she didn't think she had big golden fingers and just picked up a broken stove that no one wanted and it would be a magical treasure.
It’s better to make money and buy one with guaranteed quality.
It's this problem with making money.
Her only source of income is collecting herbs, but now Baicao Pavilion no longer collects them.
This is not only true of Baicao Pavilion, but also of all the medicine shops and alchemy shops in Baopingfang. Even in the market by the river, no one puts the medicinal herbs on display, and no one buys them.
Hu Qing was not the only one who benefited from the previous crazy price increase. In fact, the old people who collected herbs had this experience for a long time. The most active people outside the city these days are the herb collectors. There are many people collecting herbs, and the purchases are large.
The reserves are naturally large. With the departure of the two major sects, the floating population in the village has also decreased, and the demand for elixirs has been greatly reduced. Each family can slowly turn the accumulated herbs into elixirs, but they cannot purchase any more.
Saturated.
No one is buying it, and it can't be sold at a high price. I don't know how long it will take for it to return to normal.
Hu was in pain but happy. On the one hand, the medicinal herbs were not valuable and she lost her income. On the other hand, as the number of people decreased and the rent dropped, the usage fee of the refining room also dropped.
When I was rich, I couldn't afford it. When I could afford it, I had no money.
It's this situation of ice and fire.
Therefore, she wanted to find another way to make a fortune.
Although Manager Jiang told her that as long as the herbs she sent him, he would still charge them at the normal market price, Hu Qing didn't have the nerve to do so.
That's all, just changing jobs, it's not the first time.
Hu Qing walked around the shop and found several good places.
Mission Hall.
Chaohua Zong opened an official organization in Baopingfang, and anyone can go and receive tasks. These include buying and selling resources, searching for people and objects, forming a team for adventure, placing bounties on lives, etc.
The best part is – no tickets required!
Hu Qing was lucky enough to go in and visit, and was amazed to see the large task announcement screen that was no less modern than modern methods.
Then I discovered that there were some tasks above that I could take on myself, such as purchasing certain herbs or animal body parts.
She specifically asked if she could accept the task and then complete it, or if she completed it and then picked up the task and turned it in on the spot, she would be rewarded on the spot.
Those who have been waiting to buy something for a long time are suitable for her.
It's just that those things - they are all things she hasn't seen so far, and she needs to work hard to find them. After all, who would fail the mission if they were found easily.
Hu Qing has also seen the kind of team expedition mission, and has no idea of teaming up with others. People's hearts are unpredictable, and with her ability, it is better to stay away.
In addition to the mission hall, she also discovered the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
There is no powerful organization where people from the sect can sign up to keep warm. It is said to be suitable for her, but she is in a special situation. She is already able to practice but no one can see it. If she says that she is a monk, she is afraid that she will be beaten out.
Compared with Chaohua Sect's mission hall, the casual cultivator alliance is a bit unfriendly. Their mission hall requires members to use it. In other words, if you want to make money through the casual cultivator alliance, you must first become one of their own.
Mandatory membership.
Based on this alone, Hu Qing lost his favor. This kind of behavior made him afraid that he would have compulsory tasks after becoming a member, and that he would be unable to withdraw from the membership at that time.
This is similar to the methods of some modern gangsters, which shows that people in different worlds still have commonalities.
