Chapter 10: I really didn't mean that.
After an incense stick has burned.
Wei Wuxian made sure that the "Martial Luck Technique" and "Sword Forging Technique" in his hands were obtained by the original body. Without saying a word, he stood up and took them to the candles used for lighting in the corridor and burned them out.
Just then, Wei Zhixi returned.
"alright?"
"Um."
"Let's go."
Just as he turned around, intending to leave with Wei Zhixi, Wei Wuxian suddenly stopped and said one more thing.
"If Senior Sui trusts me, you can go out and see for yourself. The Great Wei is different from other places, and the people of the Great Wei are also different from other places."
Wei Zhixi paused for a moment, and only continued walking after Wei Wuxian finished speaking.
After walking several steps, a muffled voice came from behind: "Okay."
I stood in the courtyard again.
Wei Wuxian coughed lightly and explained, "If Sister Wei trusts me, why not arrange something for him to do right away, like guarding the house?"
Wei Zhixi shifted her gaze from the starry sky and looked deeply at Wei Wuxian.
"If only my younger brother had your skills, he could find me a peak seventh-rank martial artist as a helper with just a few words."
Wei Wuxian awkwardly touched his nose.
Wei Zhixi patted Wei Wuxian's shoulder heavily and laughed, "Of course we'll use him. A peak seventh-rank martial artist is rare. We might as well use him. Besides, Sui Juanke didn't do anything wrong. Rather than saying we captured him, it's more accurate to say he surrendered on his own."
"Mm." Wei Wuxian nodded with a smile.
Wei Zhixi withdrew her hand, thought for a moment, and then said, "I like your upright character. Apart from the usual report to the elders in the family, no one else will know about what happened tonight. I'm very happy that Wuxian has a friend like you, but I still have to ask one more question, Wuxian and you..."
Wei Wuxian raised his hand to interrupt, and said seriously, "Sister Wei, just know that your brother and I are so close that we don't even distinguish between you and me."
Upon hearing this, Wei Zhixi's eyes flashed with deep surprise.
It seemed that no one expected that Wei Wuxian would be valued so highly by this rather mysterious and handsome man in front of him.
After all, he knows his own brother.
To put it bluntly, it's because they have their father, Wei Jidao, as a powerful backer.
But the man in front of me just opened his mouth and started talking about the secrets of Wu Dingbang, the number one martial artist in Haozhou, the Central Plains, and it was something that couldn't be told and involved a great deal of trouble.
Based on this alone, can we underestimate the background of the man in front of us?
"Mr. Li," Wei Zhixi said solemnly.
"Sir" is a term used to address scholars.
"If Sister Wei doesn't mind, you can just call me your younger brother."
"Jingming, my younger brother," Wei Zhixi addressed him without any hesitation, her tone extremely affectionate, "Is one of your elders a sage from the Central Plains of Haozhou?"
Wei Zhixi didn't directly mention the Confucian Temple, but she knew Li Jingming would understand.
After all, apart from the Confucian Temple, Wei Zhixi couldn't think of anyone else who could discover the secret of the number one martial artist in Haozhou, the Central Plains.
Wei Wuxian shook his head decisively: "No."
Wei Zhixi raised an eyebrow slightly.
"However..." Wei Wuxian said mysteriously, "There is an elder in my family who is indeed a saint."
Wei Wuxian had a very good impression of this older sister.
But that doesn't stop him from being malicious.
He wasn't lying. Li Jingming was the incarnation of Wei Wuxian. Since Wei Wuxian's father was a saint, Li Jingming must be one too!
Wei Zhixi nodded, with an expression that said, "I knew it."
However, an even bigger question immediately arose in her mind.
If it's not because of their family background, then what does Wei Wuxian have that Li Jingming would value so much...?
The next moment, Wei Zhixi heard Wei Wuxian speak, looking very embarrassed.
"Sister Wei, I've been so honest with you, can I ask you for a favor...?"
For the sake of his family and his younger brother, Wei Zhixi instinctively wanted to generously offer to help such a "master," saying that he would accept anything, not just one, but ten.
Suddenly, she thought of something...
Staring at Wei Wuxian's expression, he suddenly looked strange and subconsciously took a half step back.
Wei Wuxian was taken aback when he saw Wei Zhixi's actions.
Were you serious about taking half a step back?
The next second, he realized something and panicked instantly.
"No! Sister Wei, don't overthink it!"
Unexpectedly, this hasty explanation only made Wei Zhixi's gaze even stranger.
"I just want to borrow some money from you, Sister Wei. Really, I even borrowed these clothes!" Wei Wuxian was genuinely panicked, gritting his teeth, "And besides, I'm married!"
"real?"
"Absolutely true, it couldn't be more true!"
Seeing Wei Wuxian's anxious explanation, Wei Zhixi chuckled instead.
"I believe you, sister."
"You absolutely have to believe it," Wei Wuxian said dejectedly.
"Tell me, how much do you want to borrow?"
"One hundred taels?"
Wei Wuxian had no concept of the game's currency system. He didn't cheat when playing games, but when it came to money, he would cheat by directly getting a row of "9"s.
Otherwise, that would be too much of a torment.
As a result, Wei Zhixi's expression turned strange again.
Wei Wuxian wasn't sure whether he had borrowed too much or too little.
"Ten taels?" he asked tentatively.
Fearing that Wei Zhixi might misunderstand, Wei Wuxian quickly said, "Sister Wei, please forgive me. I won't lend it anymore, okay? I really didn't mean it that way."
What do you mean?
Wei Wuxian immediately covered his mouth and waved his hand to indicate that he would not speak.
"Haha." Wei Zhixi laughed heartily. "Just kidding. I'm just curious, how come you, the son of a sage, don't even have a hundred taels of silver, the money of an ordinary person?"
"I don't really have a concept of money," Wei Wuxian said, scratching his head.
Wei Zhixi nodded, for this statement was indeed befitting of the identity of "son of a sage".
The next moment, Wei Zhixi casually took out a silver note, and Wei Wuxian took it and saw that it was worth 100,000 taels.
"It's just for normal living and traveling, it'll last you a long time."
"Thank you, Sister Wei."
"Want some 'god money'?"
Immortal Coins are also a type of currency in this game, used in the cultivation world. They are similar in shape to paper money from the previous life, except that they have inscriptions written with Qi on them.
Each coin of the Immortal Coin is unique, and cultivators who can create coin of the Immortal Coin have the ability to do so. The cost of creating one coin is roughly the same as the value of a single coin of the Immortal Coin. You can make money, but not much.
Therefore, this "divine money" is a form of hard currency.
"Yes, I want it." Wei Wuxian wouldn't stand on ceremony.
Wei Zhixi slowly removed a sachet from her waist.
"You don't even have a storage artifact, do you?"
Wei Wuxian said embarrassedly, "I really don't..."
Helpless, Wei Zhixi slapped the sachet into Wei Wuxian's hand: "Take it. There are about a few hundred coins inside, enough to exchange for a spirit weapon."
Thank you!
Although Wei Wuxian's clone cannot use storage artifacts for the time being, he wants to cultivate, which should be just a matter of a few thoughts after he obtains the cultivation technique.
After seeing Wei Wuxian off, Wei Zhixi returned to her room and immediately recorded everything Li Jingming had done that day, down to the smallest detail. She also wrote down her own evaluation of the events and then sent the record to Guang'an City via flying sword.
Standing at the doorway, Wei Zhixi looked up at the sky, pondering once again why Wei Wuxian had been chosen by the rather mysterious Li Jingming.
Although it was half-joking, Li Jingming's subsequent reaction convinced her that he really didn't have those feelings for her.
So, she misjudged her younger brother?
Unexpected.
Wei Zhixi recalled a passage from Li Jingming's speech.
—If you believe him, you might as well arrange something for that Sui Juanke to do right away, such as guarding the house.
She immediately understood the implication in those words.
Phoenix may be in trouble soon.
If we look at it from a different perspective...
Is the Imperial Preceptor's residence poorly defended?
It seems that since Wei Wuxian became a playboy, the two Imperial Preceptor mansions have seen far fewer eyes secretly watching him...
