"Why do kids need so much money? Just go and finish your business and come back to learn sword skills!"
Nie Qinglong's serious and angry voice came from the courtyard.
I didn’t expect this kid to actually dare to speak!
That’s five hundred taels of gold!
Even for him, Nie Qinglong, it is not a small fortune!
What's more, I have no money now!
"If you don't give it, you won't give it. How come you can fall out faster than flipping through a book? You stinky old man..."
Lu Jiu stood up, patted the dust on his clothes depressedly, and complained softly.
"But it seems that it is impossible to borrow money from the master. If you want to repay the debt, you have to find a way on your own!"
Lu Jiu thought depressedly.
He didn't know that Nie Qinglong was at his poorest now, otherwise he would still be able to lend some money to his apprentice.
Lu Jiu shook his head helplessly and walked towards Dadong City.
He doesn't plan to look for Zhao Dadong just yet. He doesn't have a penny on him right now, so he will probably have to be treated by someone else!
On the street, Lu Jiu thought silently in her heart.
"The first purpose is to become stronger and find Archie's whereabouts. The second is to make money and pay off debts. I'm going to get familiar with Qinglong Pavilion later and see if I can make some money to spend..."
"This master doesn't even know how to take me to see him. He is so incompetent!"
Lu Jiu shook his head, a little helpless.
Dadong City is actually quite big, with several streets. If Lu Jiu was looking for Zhao Dadong, he would probably have to work hard.
But the Black and White Escort Agency would be easy to handle!
Lu Jiu found out by asking for directions from a random person.
Hmm... This guy was quite unhappy at first and looked like he was going to fight.
The frightened honest man Lu Jiu quickly pulled out his Duanchen sword and put it on his neck.
After some hard talking, he reluctantly told Lu Jiu the address.
Lu Jiu was very grateful.
The people of Xuanwu Kingdom are so friendly!
It is indeed a land of etiquette!
Just when Lu Jiu was about to enter the new headquarters of the Black and White Escort Agency, he bumped into Qingzhu who was eating candied haws.
"Lu Jiu? You guys still know how to come back!"
Qingzhu glanced at the Qinglong Pavilion standard clothes he was wearing in surprise, and then understood.
"Oh... I understand, are you planning to pay back Miao Xiaowen's money?"
Qingzhu's little face showed gloating.
She was still aware of the fact that Lu Jiu was so stupid that he smashed Miao Xiaowen's treasured copper tripod with a sword.
Naturally, I enjoyed watching the show.
It’s a good thing she didn’t say anything about it!
As soon as Lu Jiu mentioned this, she thought of being kicked away by her master.
Where did you get the money now to give it back to Miao Xiaowen?
Going to sell kidneys?
Lu Jiu's face darkened and he decided not to argue with this little girl.
Then he walked into the black and white escort agency.
Seeing his shriveled appearance, Qingzhu couldn't help but chuckle and felt happy.
…
"So, from now on, I will have to practice swordsmanship with my master in Qinglong Pavilion, and I may not have time to help the escort agency."
Lu Jiu said apologetically.
Miao Xiaowen sat opposite him, touched her beard and nodded.
Then she suddenly said: "Well...so when are you going to pay back the money?"
Lu Jiu's face stiffened when he heard this.
Seeing this, Miao Xiaowen narrowed her eyes and said: "Don't tell me that Qinglong Pavilion has no money! I have inquired, Qinglong Pavilion is in the intelligence business, and it is not an exaggeration to make a fortune every day. As a young master, you
Can the Lord have no money?"
Miao Xiaowen looked at Lu Jiu with suspicion.
Is this guy trying to avoid paying back the money he owes?
Lu Jiu looked bitter when he heard this.
I don’t want to either!
Then he just wanted to explain, but was stopped by Miao Xiaowen.
"Become an assassin and you'll get money quickly!" Miao Xiaowen said expressionlessly.
Lu Jiu looked strange when he heard this.
Have you heard this sentence somewhere?
Go and do it! Money comes quickly!
"Hahaha, I'm kidding you!" Miao Xiaowen couldn't help laughing, and then said seriously: "Okay, let's talk about repaying the money later. Practice your martial arts first, and then we can do something about it in the Black and White Escort Agency.
face!"
With a smile on her face, Miao Xiaowen stood up and took out a small money bag from her pink bag and handed it to Lu Jiu.
To be honest, Miao Xiaowen really didn’t want Lu Jiu to lose her money.
Instead, he was happy for Lu Jiu.
When Lu Jiu heard this, he felt a warm current flowing through his heart.
"Thank you, Sister Xiaowen! I will definitely pay you back in the future!"
Lu Jiu said in a solemn tone.
Whether Miao Xiaowen pursues the case or not is her business. For Lu Jiu, the money owed must be paid back!
Miao Xiaowen was a little surprised when she heard this.
"you've changed."
Miao Xiaowen narrowed her eyes slightly.
"ah?"
Lu Jiu's heart skipped a beat and he said blankly.
"You were so thick-skinned before!"
"..."
"Okay, okay, leave quickly before I regret it, and come back when you have time!"
Miao Xiaowen waved her hands in disgust.
Lu Jiu nodded, then said hello to Qingzhu Wang Dapao, and left the Black and White Escort Agency.
Stepping out of the door, Lu Jiu couldn't help but look up and glance at the words "Black and White Escort Agency" above her head.
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his figure gradually faded away...
…
"Yellow Level - Investigate the Epiphyllum Alley incident, report the cause, five taels of gold."
"Xuan Level—Follow Huang Ang, the leader of the Sanlun Gang, and report his recent movements. Fifty taels of gold."
"Prefecture level (please choose carefully!) - Kill the yellow sand crocodile in the desert of the Earth Dragon area and bring back its crocodile skin. You can arrange the rest of the materials yourself. One thousand taels of gold and half a green dragon talisman."
"Heaven level (needs to obtain the consent of the Pavilion Master!) - None yet."
"Young Pavilion Master, these are the most rewarding tasks in the pavilion."
A middle-aged man wearing a Qinglong Pavilion robe said with some respect.
Lu Jiu looked at the task list in his hand thoughtfully.
This is the internal task of Qinglong Pavilion.
Probably because of Bagua Tower, many of the tasks on this task list are tracking tasks - in fact, they are just being paparazzi.
It doesn't take much effort to obtain the information trends of some sects and celebrities.
The Huang level has the most tasks, followed by the Xuan level, the Earth level has only a dozen or so, and the Heaven level has none.
"What does this Green Dragon Talisman mean?"
Lu Jiu said curiously.
Just one, and only half of a task. How stingy!
The middle-aged man heard this and explained: "The Qinglong Talisman is a rule set by the pavilion master. It is a special qualification."
"I have a treasure treasury in the Qinglong Pavilion. There are countless treasures in it, as well as magical weapons and weapons. Only by possessing a certain number of Qinglong Talisman can I redeem the precious items in it."
Speaking of this, the middle-aged man had a hint of pride in his tone.
He knew that the young man in front of him was Pavilion Master Nie's new disciple.
However, Qinglong Pavilion has always valued strength, at least until Lu Jiu showed enough strength, he would not be taken seriously by everyone in Qinglong Pavilion.
Therefore, he did not behave very respectfully.
Just out of respect for the pavilion master, I wanted to clarify his doubts.
Then, he continued: "To be honest, Young Pavilion Master, the pavilion stipulates that only people above Xiang Master are qualified to accept tasks."
"According to common sense, even you don't have the right to accept the task."
"But the Pavilion Master has said hello before, so you can choose the mission."
