Chapter 920: Chapter 920: Weighing the Options

"Oh?" Mu Jianling dragged out her tone, without lifting her eyes, said, "10 billion 3 million 250 credit points?"

Ji You nodded, "That’s right, that’s right."

Upon hearing this, Mu Jianling’s expression beca even calr. She raised her hand and pulled out a thick stack of contracts from the Space Button, casually drawing one from it, and said indifferently, "In that case, start by using 5 million to redeem one."

Ji You: "..."

Ji You craned her neck to take a look, and imdiately, her smile vanished!

sheet.

sheets.

sheets.

...

She couldn’t keep counting.

At a preliminary glance, this stack of contracts has at least more than 200 sheets, and one piece requires 5 million; isn’t 100 sheets...

Ji You stared wide-eyed, couldn’t help but say:

"What the hell!"

"Teacher, did you get it wrong? When did I sign so many contracts?"

"That can’t be right?"

"I don’t recall having this many!"

"Hmm?" Mu Jianling lifted her eyelids, "Are you questioning

of forging them?"

"Cough..." Ji You forced a smile and said, "Of course not, how could I suspect the teacher of forgery?"

Mu Jianling was about to lower her eyelids when the botherso brat next to her said, "Even if the teacher did forge them, I wouldn’t dare say anything."

Mu Jianling’s face darkened, without thinking, she lifted her foot and kicked towards Ji You’s buttocks.

Ji You deftly dodged aside, just barely avoiding it and not having had a chance to breathe out in relief, when suddenly a rciless smack descended down!

Ji You had actually been on guard, but unfortunately, Teacher Mu Jianling’s iron palm was too swift, swinging countless tis in the blink of an eye, practically airtight, leaving no defense!

Smack!

Ji You rubbed the sore back of her head, looking a bit resentful at Mu Jianling, said, "Teacher, your hand is too quick?"

"Hmm." Mu Jianling said blandly, "After hitting brats too many tis, it beca trained."

Ji You: "..."

Ji You showed no signs of being self-aware as a brat, she eagerly leaned forward, continuously winking at Mu Jianling, "Teacher, let’s discuss sothing, 1 billion, to get those contracts in your hand, what do you say?"

Mu Jianling gave her a sidelong glance, "Looking ugly, wanting to gain beauty."

Ji You raised a hand to touch her face, grinning, "No, I don’t think I look ugly. Jiaojiao keeps saying I look good, I think I am beautiful, wanting sothing even more beautiful, hehe..."

Eyes constantly on the sluggish ’Golden Dragon’, Mu Jianling was already a bit impatient, spoke in a cold voice, "Speak if you have sothing to say, otherwise get lost."

Ji You quickly said, "Teacher, I’m serious, I’m here to redeem my contracts."

Looking at her cheeky grinning face, it didn’t seem at all like she was here to redeem contracts, more like she’s here to promote sothing. Mu Jianling frowned, said, "I know you’re a poor ghost, you can return your debts whenever you have the money."

"But don’t recomnd

any nonsense." Mu Jianling waved her hand, said, "Don’t interrupt my work."

After speaking, Mu Jianling picked up a pair of pliers, walked beside the ’Golden Dragon’ cha, took a look up and down, and realized why it seed odd — a material part was installed wrong on this miniature version, so she crouched down to reconfigure it...

At this mont—

Ji You suddenly stood in front of Mu Jianling, blocking her, "Teacher, I really ca to pay back the debt."

Mu Jianling casually said, "Without 10 billion, don’t co hanging around ."

billion?

This poor ghost, scraping by might not even be able to save up in a hundred years.

Thinking this, Mu Jianling was about to start dismantling the cha, but suddenly—a light screen appeared in front of her, flashing with a string of digits...

Mu Jianling: "..."

Ji You flaunted the account balance in front of Teacher Mu, her eyes had a hint of smugness, said, "Teacher, take a good look?"

Mu Jianling frowned without speaking.

Ji You made the light screen co closer, giggled, "Didn’t see clearly, take another look, I’m not in a hurry."

Mu Jianling’s slightly curved lips flattened, her indifferent eyes suddenly beca very sharp, she looked down and asked: "Where did the money co from?"

Ji You lifted her face and said, "I sold."

Mu Jianling’s brows furrowed deeply, "Just you?"

Saying—

She glanced up and down at Ji You, in a cold voice said, "Just your material, counting even the dandruff, isn’t worth much." Saying this, Mu Jianling crossed her arms, her tone extrely harsh: "Spill, how did it co?"

"Cough cough..."

"Teacher, I must correct sothing, dandruff generally has no value, and no one would buy it, cough cough..." Ji You initially wanted to be playful but seeing Mu Jianling’s face grow darker and darker...

So, Ji You slowly, her voice vanished.

Mu Jianling lifted her eyelid, coolly said, "Speak."

Two words, not as intimidating as before, but still imparted a strong sense of pressure.

Ji You had considered many tis on the way here, whether or not to repay Mu Teacher, Dr. Luo, and Principal Hong’s debts, and how to repay them. Yet... if not repaying, holding such a large sum of money, still refusing to clear the debts owed to three ntors, she felt uncomfortable, uneasy.

But if repaying, once displaying this much money, she’d surely need to explain where it ca from, otherwise, given the three ntors’ vigilance and character, they absolutely wouldn’t accept dubious money.

...

So, how exactly should it be repaid?

This—

Is truly a headache.

Thinking this and that, after discussing with Xiao You, both felt it was better to simply be honest. Of course, not everything should be revealed, but selectively honest.

Like the Iron Plate in the Spirit Space, like Ji You being a person who traveled through worlds, like Xiao You’s existence. These three things, by no ans, would be disclosed to anyone, even soone as revered as Teacher Mu, she’d never tell her.

However, being honest about the money being earned through creating Soul Devices was doable.

100% Spiritual Silk Cleaning Rate, and 6 strands of Spiritual Silk with independent consciousnesses... this kind of anomaly, claiming an autodidactic skill in crafting Soul Devices, this point, Teacher Mu, Dr. Luo, and they wouldn’t be able to fully understand, nor appraise thoroughly.

Moreover, given the ntors’ character, even knowing Ji You can create Soul Devices, they wouldn’t resort to dissecting and studying her.

Cough cough...

Perhaps, maybe, Teacher Mu and they might specifically conduct so examinations and studies on her, but it’d definitely be after seeking her consent, ensuring first and foremost her life’s safety and maintenance of her abilities before doing any research.

...

After discussing it thoroughly in her mind with Xiao You, Ji You suddenly raised her head, looking at Teacher Mu Jianling, her expression very serious, said, "Teacher, here’s the thing—"
