Chapter 23: One Hundred and Twenty Thousand Spirit Stones! (Part 1)

“Who… who is this?” Jiu Yaoqin looked at Jiang Ningxuan’s face, frowning slightly as he stared at his own Xuan’er, momentarily stunned.

She was too beautiful! How could there be such a lovely young girl?!

Jiu Yaoqin was a disciple of the Hehuan Sect. Before coming to the Yinsi Valley, he had cultivated within the sect, where there were no shortage of beautiful and charming senior sisters and junior sisters. In the martial world, he had seen countless women.

But at the sight of Xuan’er, he couldn’t help but be mesmerized. This little girl was truly too beautiful.

The perfect combination of temperament, features, and figure, not to mention she looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, with a hint of innocence still lingering.

If given time, what kind of fairy would she grow into in the future?!

Ning Wuxie put his arm around Xuan’er’s shoulder, telling her not to be impulsive. “This is my sister, named Jiang Ningxuan.”

Jiu Yaoqin snapped out of his daze, looking at Ning Wuxie. Thinking about his own embarrassing behavior just now, he couldn’t help but feel ashamed, coughing twice to cover up his awkwardness.

He looked at Ning Wuxie, then at Xuan’er. Why did he feel that something was off about the way this little girl was being held by Ning Wuxie?

Xuan’er’s body was half pressed against Ning Wuxie, like a little cat snuggled in Ning Wuxie’s arms.

Shouldn’t a sister of this age treat her brother with disdain and punches and kicks?

He smiled slightly, tentatively asking, “Sister… is she blood-related, or… adopted?”

Ning Wuxie was taken aback, understanding Jiu Yaoqin’s implication.

After all, he and Xuan’er didn’t look much different in age now, so Jiu Yaoqin was doubting Ning Wuxie’s true intentions in bringing Xuan’er along.

“She is blood-related!” He glared, pretending, “We came to this world together!”

“Understood, understood,” Jiu Yaoqin saw Ning Wuxie’s slight annoyance and quickly explained, “Brother Ning, you have to understand, I come from the Hehuan Sect and have seen too many improper relationships between men and women in the martial world.”

Ning Wuxie was speechless: Was there anyone more chaotic than you guys?

“But I believe Brother Ning, you are definitely not that kind of person. They are framing you, not me. Little sister, those who speak ill of your brother are the people outside, not me.” He said to Xuan’er.

Ning Wuxie also spoke up to comfort her, “Xuan’er, don’t be afraid, Brother Qin is a good person.”

The anger on Xuan’er’s face subsided, but she still looked warily at Jiu Yaoqin, nodding slightly.

Jiu Yaoqin now understood. In this little girl’s world, besides her brother, everyone else didn’t matter whether they were good or bad. If she blamed them wrongly, she didn’t feel guilty, and even if they were good people, she didn’t feel the need to get close to them. She only wanted to believe in Ning Wuxie.

Just like now, she was still curled up in Ning Wuxie’s arms, looking indifferent.

I really don’t know where Ning Wuxie found such a beautiful treasure of a girl…

“Xuan’er, you go back first. Brother has something to discuss with Brother Qin.” Ning Wuxie said to Xuan’er, who lightly agreed and turned back to the room.

With Xuan’er gone, the two men could finally talk about real topics.

“Ning, you really hit the jackpot! Over forty thousand copies sold, do you know how much I sold one for, 50 spirit stones!”

Jiu Yaoqin instantly returned to a state of excitement.

“Twenty million!” Ning Wuxie was also surprised. This was really not a small amount.

In the previous sect, the entire year’s activity budget was only a small million, and Jiu Yaoqin, staying in this Yinsi Valley, had earned twenty million in just a few days!

Was the sickle too fast, or were the newbies too powerful?

“We agreed on four to one, rest assured, Ning.” Jiu Yaoqin took out a spirit note, different from the usual green spirit notes, this note was entirely purple, with intricate patterns, and the words “One Hundred and Twenty Thousand” written on it, looking very luxurious.

Jiu Yaoqin handed the spirit note to Ning Wuxie, showing no reluctance.

“Ning, as I said before, I plan to focus solely on this business in the future.”

“Your idea of a sneak peek is simply amazing. Can you tell me more about it, do you have any other good ideas?” Jiu Yaoqin pleaded.

Ning Wuxie was speechless, “This… let’s talk about it later, there’s plenty of time.”
