Shi Ling couldn't help but laugh at himself when she asked that question. He then shrugged and said, "Can't you tell?"

After that, she took out a storage card from her Storage Ring and handed it to Shi Ling. Shi Ling looked at it and found that the storage card had 5000 gold coins, which was a huge sum of money for Shi Ling, who was still a servant. However, Shi Ling's tone became colder as he said: "Is this charity?"

It was a huge blow to you to be demoted from an official disciple to a servant in the sect. In this aspect, I am unable to help you, but you and I were once schoolmates after all. I don't want to see you in such a miserable state.

The corner of Shi Ling's mouth slightly rose as he said: "If I hadn't recovered, I wouldn't have been here."

When Yun Zhiqian heard up to here, her moving eyes met Shi Ling's gaze. It was not wrong, just as Shi Ling said, in his eyes, not only was there not a single trace of decadence or depression, on the contrary, it gave people a feeling of confidence and spirit that Shi Ling did not have. The current Shi Ling was like a different person, his temperament was completely different from before.

That gentle smile was really mesmerizing, as if even the most beautiful scenery in the world had become overshadowed. Yun Zhiqian continued to speak, "Looks like I've overthought things, thinking that falling from the clouds into the valley would cause you to fall and not be able to recover. Who would have thought that this would actually allow you to grow up."

At this time, Shi Ling also relaxed. He smiled and said, "It's alright. Actually, I was depressed for a period of time before, but now I have walked out from the shadows."

Yun Zhiqian took a step forward and waved the card in her hand towards Shi Ling. "How long do you want me to hold this card for?"

Shi Ling shook his head and said, "No need, even if I don't take the money, we're still best friends, right?"

However, Yun Zhiqian just rolled her eyes at him. She immediately took Shi Ling's hand and stuffed the card into it, saying, "We are best friends after you take it."

Feeling the touch of her hand on his, Shi Ling couldn't help but swallow his saliva, but seeing that she didn't give him the chance to refuse, he took it back and said, "Take this as a loan and I will return it to you."

Yun Zhiqian glanced at him and said, "Let's talk about the future later."

He pulled Shi Ling in front and said, "I don't have anything to do today, so why don't you accompany me for a walk?"

Then, under the envious and resentful gazes of the people around them, Shi Ling and Yun Zhiqian walked together. In the past, when Shi Ling and Yun Zhiqian were classmates, they often walked in the market, and Yun Zhiqian liked to hold Shi Ling's hand as if they were together. At that time, the two of them were often mistaken for a pair of companions when they were together, and after Shi Ling confessed to Yun Zhiqian, their relationship gradually drifted apart.

At this moment, Shi Ling glanced at the guard with a sabre behind him. He was still the same as before, expressionless. Shi Ling immediately asked, "It seems like you've developed quite well these few years. You even have a sabre guard following you."

Yun Zhiqian nodded and replied, "It's still alright. The main reason I have my current status is because I received the favor of the Sect's Great Elder, Grandma Xuan Mei."

Shi Ling was stunned for a moment and asked, "Grandma Xuan Mei's favor, does this mean that you have also become Grandma Xuan Mei's last disciple?"

Yun Zhiqian shook her head and said, "I have Grandma Xuan Mei's last disciple, but it's a pity that it's not me. I can only be considered a close disciple to her."

Shi Ling nodded when he heard this. He then heard Yun Zhiqian continue, "Grandma Xuan Mei's last disciple, do you know who she is?"

Shi Ling asked subconsciously, "Who is it?"

Yun Zhiqian let go of Shi Ling's hand and walked to the side of a row of flowers and plants, saying, "It's your sweetheart, Chen Lu. Chen Lu is currently a big favorite next to my master, so calling her a precious daughter isn't too much of a big deal. Not only did she receive Grandma Xuan Mei's teachings, she even gave her elder's sword to her.

Shi Ling heard this and coughed dryly. Why did he feel that Yun Zhiqian's words were sharp, but from her words, he could tell that she didn't know that they had made up. If he let her know, he didn't know what she would think.

Of course, Shi Ling wouldn't say such things out loud. At least, he wouldn't say it out loud before his own strength has reached that level, so he heard Shi Ling say: "I already know about Chen Lu's situation. If possible, I hope you can take care of her in your sect for a while."

Pouting her thin lips, she said, "Shi Ling, you are really considerate. You are still thinking about her even now, and when you were together, she had always been a burden to you. After you fell, she kicked you away, and now you still want me to take care of her!" I say, are you alright? "

Yun Zhiqian stared straight at Shi Ling as if she was looking at a weirdo. Shi Ling coughed and said, "Actually, it's not what you think …"

Before Shi Ling could finish, Yun Zhiqian interrupted him, "Alright, alright, that's between you and it has nothing to do with me. You don't have to explain so much to me."

Immediately, he turned around and left. Shi Ling was stunned on the spot. He didn't know what was going on with this girl. Why did his emotions suddenly become so agitated? When Shi Ling still wanted to follow him, a guard with a sabre behind Shi Ling stood in front of Shi Ling and said, "Young Master, our Miss is not in a good mood. Please accompany us here today. You can go back now."

When Shi Ling heard this, the corner of his eye twitched. He glanced at Yun Zhiqian's girls and found them sneering at him. Immediately, Shi Ling felt embarrassed and said, "Got it."

Before he left, he couldn't help but look back at Yun Zhiqian's back and sigh helplessly. After all, she was a girl he had pursued before, and although she had been rejected later on, the friendship between them was still there. From the fact that she was willing to give him five thousand gold coins to help him, he could tell that she still wanted to keep this relationship.

At this time, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly shouted, "Hey, Shi Ling!"

Shi Ling turned around to look at Bai Xiaosheng and asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Xiaosheng had been following him quietly from the beginning. Now, he seemed to be angry, so Bai Xiaosheng asked: "Who's that naughty girl? I actually will give you five thousand gold coins at once! "

At this moment, Shi Ling started to walk around. He glanced at those dazzling products and said, "He used to be my classmate and my best friend. What about it?"

Bai Xiaosheng suddenly laughed strangely and said, "Then are you going to return the 5000 gold?"

Shi Ling said, "Nonsense, of course we have to return it. What's more, I've already said it just now. It can't be that I don't even have this much credit, right?"

Bai Xiaosheng still laughed strangely and said, "Then do you want me to give you a way without paying her back?"

Shi Ling tilted his head and looked at him. "What?"

Bai Xiaosheng smiled evilly, "Take her as well!"

Shi Ling's face immediately darkened.

"..."

In the next moment, outside of Myriad Treasures Pavilion, everyone saw a thick book being thrown out. Dong dong dong dong. After flipping through several tumbles on the ground, people around couldn't help but turn their heads to look and see that it was actually a book with human faces carved into it.

At this time, someone walked over and wanted to pick up the book, but the human face suddenly moved and disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, Bai Xiaosheng appeared beside Shi Ling, and cursed at him, "I say, you are too heartless, aren't you? I am giving you advice with good intentions, and you actually want to repay me with kindness, causing my original form to appear in the eyes of those people. Luckily, I reacted quickly and escaped in time."

He then looked at the goods rack in front of him and bought some bedding, pillows, and some new clothes. Then, he said, "I already have a pair of cultivator companions, you want me to chase after her, how can my dao companion endure that."

After Bai Xiaosheng heard this, he immediately burst out into laughter. He looked at Shi Ling and said, "With your character and cultivation companions, how can I be handsome, elegant and unrestrained? Even people with good looks don't have a dao companion, you would have one, ah hahaha."

Shi Ling looked at Bai Xiaosheng, who was laughing like a dead dog, and ignored him immediately. After buying the items, he kept them into the Heart Ring, intending to leave immediately.

However, Bai Xiaosheng, who was still laughing, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at a stall not far away. He said, "Hey, Shi Ling."

Shi Ling said snappily: "What are you doing?"

Shi Ling frowned as he followed, and at the same time, Bai Xiaosheng jumped onto a piece of pig iron on the stall. He looked at it, and from time to time, Bai Xiaosheng would use his tongue to lick the iron, and then smack his lips. Finally, he opened his eyes and revealed a look of surprise as he said: "Hey, Shi Ling, buying this thing is a good treasure!"

Shi Ling picked up the brick and looked at it. "Nothing special?"

At this time, the attendant on the stall said, "Sir, you are right. There is nothing special about this!"

Shi Ling frowned and said, "Then why did you sell it here?"

The servant bitterly smiled and said, "Young master, you don't know. Although it doesn't seem to be anything extraordinary, but it was passed down from my ancestors. It is said that there is a dense dragon aura surrounding this place, and with him around, it will be able to cure the disaster and protect us."

Shi Ling listened to his exaggerated words and knew that it was just a recommendation. If it was really that magical, he wouldn't sell it, nor would he sell it at such a low price.

He immediately said, "I want this."

The servant was grinning from ear to ear, praising Shi Ling Hui for his eyesight while secretly laughing in his heart. Finally, he had met an idiot who was willing to buy this piece of scrap iron.

However, at this moment, another hand reached over and grabbed the iron brick in Shi Ling's hand. "Release your hand. I saw this thing first."

Shi Ling turned around and saw a teenager in blue, who was glaring at him with his eyes wide open. Shi Ling's face darkened and he said: "Who are you!"

The green-gowned youth snorted and laughed, "Who cares? Didn't you hear me when I told you to let go? "

As he said this, the green-clothed youth also pushed Shi Ling on his shoulder, pushing Shi Ling back a step. With a push of his hand, he snatched away the item.

However, at this moment, the green-gowned youth heard Shi Ling suddenly say: "You dropped it!"

When the green-robed youth heard this, he subconsciously touched his own body. At the same time, he looked back, only to see a fist flying towards his head.

Dong! The green-robed young man was sent flying by Shi Ling's punch. His entire body landed heavily on the ground and the metal brick in his hand fell back into Shi Ling's hand.

Shi Ling could already tell that this guy didn't want to buy the brick from him at all. He was just here to cause trouble for him. Why did he come to cause trouble for him?

Shi Ling looked to the side. A fat figure walked towards him, and there were a lot of people around him.

That fat figure was immediately recognized by Shi Ling. Who else could it be other than Fatty Xu, who had bullied him before.

On his face, there was a clear imprint of a fist with a few teeth falling out of his mouth. He quickly walked to the side of Fatty Xu, who glared at him and said, "Useless trash, you can't even do this kind of thing well!"

The teenager in the green tunic lowered his head without saying a word. Fatty Xu walked towards Shi Ling and said with a smile, "Shi Ling, how have you been?"

Shi Ling frowned as he looked at Fatty Xu's clothes. They were no longer the clothes of a servant, but the clothes of a visiting disciple. This caused Shi Ling to be slightly surprised. He thought to himself, "This guy became a visiting disciple so quickly?"
