"No no no, you’ve got it wrong, please accept these two items."
With a flip of the palm.
A delicately crafted Jade Bottle was taken out from the Qiankun Bag by the young girl, then handed over.
"What’s this?"
"For cultivation purposes, after taking it, it can refine Spiritual Energy and promote cultivation, ward off all poisons. It was refined by the Cen Family Village dicine Hall Master, perfectly suitable for you. You’ll be participating in the sect’s entrance assessnt next month, right? Take it, consider this as a reward for this ti."
He didn’t take it imdiately.
Although he could be shaless, he definitely wouldn’t recklessly accept other people’s kindness.
He could ask Liu Tangxi for things, act spoilt, and try to squeeze so benefits from Liu Tangxi, because Liu Tangxi was his senior sister, his master, family, and kin.
Even though Miss Cen Yueyue was straightforward and a friend worth making, their relationship wasn’t so close yet; how could he possibly take her things?
"Miss Cen, please forget about the reward. It was only right for to co out to Shuangfeng City upon receiving the news to hunt down the Evil Cultivator. It’s within our duty as Cultivators, now that Hou Zhongxiao has been brought to justice, if I were to take your..."
"You’re right, indeed it’s our duty as Cultivators, but after all, Hou Zhongxiao had connections with our family, and since you delivered both the Qiankun Bag and the Gu Book to , naturally I can’t let you be at a loss."
"No, it’s unnecessary."
"Take it, take it."
Both started to insist back and forth, while Cen Zhuangzhuang just sat at the base of the tree yawning, feeling sleepy, this scene seed like... like going ho for the New Year.
Grandma and Grandpa always wanted to give him so gifts, but his parents taught him not to take things casually to avoid rumors, it should be a matter of give and take, until eventually, out of helpless resignation, he would be forced to accept a red envelope.
Exactly, so similar!
After refusing for a while, finally, Cen Yueyue’s smiling face revealed a hint of impatience, then she stared straight at Jiang Feng, still smiling as she squeezed out a sentence through her teeth.
"Hand it over!"
His body shuddered, the surging Spiritual Energy instantly burst out from within him, and even Cen Zhuangzhuang jumped up from under the tree, fearing that a fight might break out.
"Don’t force to pour it through your nostrils."
At a glance, that look was like how one would treat so sort of bug, it was the first ti she had t soone who refused her gift.
What does it an?
Does he look down on or think I’m not worthy?
Swallowing nervously, he reluctantly stretched out his hand, and the palm sank imdiately as the exquisite red Jade Bottle was placed into the young man’s palm, feeling its significant weight, this thing probably couldn’t be bought even if he sold all his possessions.
Sotis people are just like that.
No point until cursed at or beaten up then they would listen.
"Carry it, or I’ll pour it through your nostrils and bring it with you, choose."
Didn’t dare to speak.
Beneath the dignified appearance of this malicious lady was a wild and bold heart.
The cousin beside was lowering his head, afraid to laugh out loud, but Cen Yueyue quickly moved her hand toward the few hairpins at the back of her head and emotionlessly added two more words.
"Left hand."
Obediently stretched out.
With a gentle pull.
A hairpin that had originally been secured in the hair bun was taken down by her on the spot; the hairpin was brilliantly golden, about half a foot long, with grooves etched in it. Jiang Feng rembered it was one of her Magic Treasures, the one that had incapacitated Hou Zhongxiao and the demon ape, leaving them unable to fight back.
Even torn to pieces on the spot.
"No way, I absolutely cannot take this! I cannot take Magic Treasures!"
The left hand quickly retracted, shaking his head like a rattle; the Elixir alone was already way beyond his gains this ti, without rit he should not accept a reward, Magic Treasures are his bottom line, there’s no way he could...
"Either I stab it into your head, or you take it yourself, choose."
The left hand sank, feeling the tal texture, with a bitter smile.
Just holding this hairpin, it might be more apt to describe it as a golden hairpin. One could feel the unique touch, almost like ripples on water, wonderfully smooth and harmonious as if the golden hairpin had life, breathing and inhaling spiritual energy in the palm. This thing could actually cultivate like a person.
"Ah, after cleaning this little ancestor, don’t do sothing like a rich woman’s pleasure ball, unable to enjoy the blessings."
He sighed.
It’s not that he was acting spoiled after gaining favor, but rather because his relationship with her was indeed not deep, and one side was from the Central Plains and the other from the Southern Border, to put it a bit rudely.
In the future, there will inevitably be conflicts in sect interests and national interests, bound to co to blows eventually, what then if he had accepted her things now, and sothing happened later, or if they really t in conflict?
But Cen Yueyue’s expression remained unchanged, ignoring her dumbfounded cousin behind her. Because her cousin knew that this golden hairpin carried a slightly special aning to their cousin, almost popping his eyes out.
Yet, the girl only lifted her chin high proudly.
"The Cen Family never lets friends suffer a loss, this ti to be able to find Hou Zhongxiao and have him executed, you contributed the most, if it wasn’t for your Paper Spirit, I might still be wandering around Yi Village."
"After killing him, whether it was the Qiankun Bag or his collection, or even his soul, I took them all. I know you don’t like to take advantage of others, but I, Cen Yueyue, don’t either. As the Young Mistress of the Cen Family, it’s natural that I can’t shalessly accept everything."
"Now, I’m just exchanging these Magic Treasures and Elixirs with you, so both of us won’t suffer a loss, it’s fair and square, is there still any problem?"
His head continued to shake like a rattle.
"I dare not."
"Hmph." She flicked her silky long hair, and sohow, a bit of smugness appeared on the young girl’s face.
"Very well then, Zhuang Zhuang, let’s go!"
