Fighting Break Sphere: My Days as a Tutor at Canaan College

Chapter 116 Are You Here?
About a quarter of an hour later.

In the treasure appraisal room, Liu Xi took the two-pattern purple gold card handed back by Ya Fei and scanned the amount on it, which was more than 270,000 gold coins.

"Mr. Liu Xi, can we also use this card to pay for the herbs on the herbs list?"

Ya Fei pointed at the medicinal herbs packed in boxes on the long table and asked.

After delivering the herbs, "Lao Xigu" exchanged a few words with Liu Xi. He also found out that Liu Xi was not very fond of him. So he tactfully found an excuse and left again. The follow-up of the transaction was handed over to Yafei.

In fact, Ya Fei could handle these matters by herself with ease, but the priceless Qi Gathering Powder at the beginning needed Gu Ni, a genuine second-grade alchemist, to take a look.

"No need, I have a green card here, which is used to pay for the medicine."

Waving his hand, Liu Xi smiled faintly and took out the green card that Xiao Yan gave him from his storage ring.

In front of her, Ya Fei's beautiful eyes saw the green card handed over by Liu Xi, and her lips opened and closed slightly.

At this moment, she really wanted to turn around and leave!

As for why?

The green card in Liu Xi's hand was the one she personally issued to the "old gentleman" when he first came to the Mitel Auction House to auction the "Foundation Building Spirit Liquid" after the auction!

Not to mention the special logo engraved by the auction house, there is also a string of numbers printed by the auction house's magnet.

If it was any other card, Yafei might not have any impression of it when it was brought out again, after all, this card does not record personal information.

But out of curiosity about the mysterious identity of the "old man" at the time, she paid special attention to the card number.

Moreover, the "old gentleman" came to the auction house several more times to trade, and he used this card every time. After so many times, she had a deep impression of the number of this green card.

Therefore, when Liu Xi took it out, she recognized it immediately!

I used my own card to pay for the sword, but used this card to pay for the herbs?
Is he really treating her, Yafei, as a fool?
Didn't you, a scumbag, solemnly and verbally say that the sword and medicinal herbs were given to you by that old gentleman?
What is the difference in payment???
Even if you are acting, you have to do it fully!

This way everyone can save face, okay?

Did he really not understand, or did he want to embarrass her on purpose?

"Ms. Yafei, what's wrong with you? Are you not in good spirits?"

On the other side, Liu Xi saw that Ya Fei took a long time to take the green card, and saw that her expression was a little dazed, so he couldn't help but speak.

"call……"

Exhaling silently, Ya Fei took the green card with a forced smile, her sexy body trembling slightly under her cheongsam, and said:
"It's nothing, I just haven't been resting well recently, it will be fine after a while..."

Hearing this, Liu Xi raised his eyebrows slightly and said nothing more.

He wanted to ask in a rude way, "Are you having your period?" and at the same time, he wanted to say something that a scumbag in his previous life said, "Drink more hot water."

But after thinking about it, he decided not to do it. He was afraid that once he said it, Yafei would tear his handsome face with both hands, and that would not be a pretty sight...

A moment of effort.

After paying for the herbs and completing the transaction, he put all the herbs that had been prepared by the auction house into his ring and prepared to go back.

But before leaving, he walked up to Zhen'er, the maid beside Ya Fei, and said:

“Since you have already reached the ninth stage of Dou Qi, then you should work harder and further condense the Dou Qi vortex. In less than a month, Canaan College will start recruiting students.

At that time, the academy's instructors will test everyone's realm level, and rate their talents based on age and cultivation. Those with good levels will receive some resource support after entering the academy and be assigned to a good class."

After saying this, Liu Xi left slowly under the gaze of Ya Fei and others.

……

After Liu Xi disappeared from the auction hall, Ya Fei looked at Zhen Er strangely, who was thinking about something, and asked:
"How did he know you wanted to study at Canaan College?"

"I... I don't know either. I'm probably just guessing..."

Zhen'er said in an uncertain tone.

Seeing this, Ya Fei nodded slightly, asked no more questions, took light steps, and led Zhen'er to the back hall of the auction house.

Following behind Yafei, Zhen'er lowered her head, wondering how much did her grandfather talk to that scumbag about her yesterday?
-

The sun was shining brightly in the afternoon.

After Xiao Yue left Liu Xi's yard, she went straight back to where she and her mother lived.

The mother and daughter live at the back edge of the Xiao family's building complex, close to the back mountain.

This area is mostly inhabited by servants of the Xiao family and some of the Xiao family's side branches who have not done well.

At first glance, the houses are all low and the ditches between the houses are dirty and messy, emitting a foul stench in the summer. Although this place does not look dilapidated, it is hard to imagine that the Xiao family, which is now the leader of the three major families in Wutan City, has such an area inside.

click...

The door opened.

"Cough cough! Cough cough cough... Is Yue'er back?" Hearing the sound of the door opening, Xiao Yue's mother's violent coughing voice came from the innermost room of the house.

"Mom, it's me."

Xiao Yue responded, closed the door, then walked to the kitchen, filled a bowl with the still warm medicine in the casserole, and then walked towards her mother's room.

"Ahem... ahem..., today... ahem... why did you come back so early today?"

The middle-aged woman with a sallow complexion struggled to get up from the couch, coughing continuously.

"The alchemist went out for something and told me that I didn't need to stay there and could come back early." Xiao Yue whispered.

After she finished speaking, she held the medicine in one hand and the spoon in the other, intending to feed her mother.

“Cough… cough cough…, no need, you take a rest, I’ll do it myself, cough cough… cough…, I’ve been sick for so many years, but I’ve never been unable to move… cough cough…”

The middle-aged woman took the bowl of soup with trembling hands. Not long after she stood up from the couch, cold sweat broke out on her forehead and her body was shaking. It was obvious that she was very weak.

I saw her holding the bowl of soup to her mouth, opening her mouth with difficulty, and pouring the soup in the bowl into her mouth.

Yes, it means "pour", not drink.

This allows her to save some movement and energy and be more direct.

Gulu...Gulu...

Wow…wow…

However, due to shaking hands, a lot of medicine spilled from the edge of the bowl and mouth.

Xiao Yue, who was standing aside, felt uncomfortable when she saw this situation, but she did not snatch the bowl from her mother's hand. This scene would be repeated almost every three or two days.

Every time she wanted to feed her mother medicine, she was rejected by her. She knew in her heart that it was her mother's stubborn psychology that was causing trouble. She didn't want to become a burden and drag on her completely...

"Hey~ Did you see that just now? Xiao Yue came back so early today!"

"Yes, if you hadn't told me I hadn't noticed it just now, wasn't she assigned to serve the alchemist? Why did she come back before dark?"

"I guess there's nothing I can do. My mother has been ill for many years. Maybe I can come back to take care of her."

"Haha, I don't think it's that simple. I heard that the alchemist is a sex-hungry ghost. Could it be that Xiao Yue slept with him? Otherwise, how could he ask to come back so early?"
