“Does this concern you?” Ye Lengan furrowed her brow, turned, and looked at the woman. She suddenly asked, “Do you live by the seaside?”
“Huh?” Hearing such a question from Ye Lengan, the woman was momentarily taken aback. However, she quickly recovered, and a thin trace of anger appeared on her face. “What are you implying? Are you mocking me?”
On the side, Nangong Xuyao frowned upon seeing the woman’s reaction. It seemed he wasn’t keen on staying here any longer. However, as if realizing something, he ultimately stayed. Yet, he remained silent.
“So, you do understand human speech!” Ye Lengan glanced at her and continued, “Whether I can settle the bill is between me and the shop owner. What does it have to do with you? Why meddle? Don’t be overly nosy.”
“You…” Hearing Ye Leng’an’s words, the woman was infuriated to the point of almost losing her words. She turned her head, looked at Zhong Lingwan, and said, “Manager Zhong, I’ll take this spiritual plant. Deliver it to the Zhongyu family, and someone will pay the bill.”
Evidently, this woman and the manager seemed to know each other. Or rather, this store manager Zhong Lingwan should be acquainted with her.
However, upon hearing the woman mention the Zhongyu family, Ye Lengan couldn’t help but give her an extra look. In her mind, she wondered whether Huangfu Ruiling had any connection with the Zhongyu family here.
“What are you staring at!” The woman naturally caught Ye Leng’an’s gaze. She assumed she was shocked upon hearing about the Zhongyu family. With an air of arrogance, she said, “Let me tell you, I am Zhongyu Jiarui, the third daughter of the Zhongyu family’s direct line. I’m different from a country bumpkin like you who just arrived in the Hidden World. Also, this isn’t a place for people like you to tread.”
After finishing her words, she no longer paid attention to Ye Lengan but turned to Zhong Lingwan, urging, “Give me this spiritual plant now. It’s perfect; Wanwan hasn’t been in a good mood lately. I’ll gift it to her, and she’ll surely be pleased.”
Then, she turned her head, looked at Nangong Xuyao beside her, and asked, “Xuyao, do you think Wanwan will like this gift?”
That tender appearance, in contrast to when facing Ye Lengan, was like two entirely different people.
Nangong Xuyao glanced at the spiritual plant and casually said, “As long as you like it.”
He didn’t particularly like Zhongyu Jiarui. She was arrogant, her cultivation wasn’t high, and she had a temper. Although she could restrain herself in his presence, she still wasn’t likable.
However, she was the third daughter of the Zhongyu family’s direct line, and he couldn’t afford to offend her. This was the Hidden World. In the mortal world, he could act as he pleased, but here he wasn’t even considered a branch of the Nangong family. Despite sharing the surname Nangong, his status in the Nangong family was not high.
Moreover, he could tell that Zhongyu Jiarui had a liking for him. Regardless of her numerous flaws, her identity as the third daughter of the Zhongyu family was enough to overshadow them.
So, he was conflicted. Despite not liking Zhongyu Jiarui, she was his best choice at the moment. He could only appease Zhongyu Jiarui while contemplating his next steps.
Upon hearing Nangong Xuyao’s words, Zhongyu Jiarui had a sweet expression on her face. She couldn’t tell that he was being perfunctory and was sure that he was accommodating her, hoping to make her happy.
On the side, Zhong Lingwan wore an awkward expression. She forced a smile and then said, “Miss Zhongyu, the price of this spiritual plant is not ordinary.
You…”
“Do you think I can’t afford it, is that it?” Zhongyu Jiarui directly interrupted Zhong Lingwan’s words. “Are you looking down on me? I want to know what kind of price is so high that even my Zhongyu family can’t afford it.”
“Miss Zhongyu, you’ve misunderstood.” Zhong Lingwan inwardly sighed and quickly explained, “It’s just that this spiritual plant is extraordinary. Our boss doesn’t just want Spirit Coins. He desires a high-grade Nine-Cycle
Soul-Returning Pill and one million Spirit Coins. Are you sure you want it?”
She believed that the Zhongyu family could afford one million Spirit Coins. After all, the price wasn’t high. The challenging part was the high-grade Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill..
