The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 93 Letter
"Arrogant at first and respectful later, it makes me laugh when I think about it." Jiang Xiaobai finally raised his head with a smug smile on his face.

Lin Bai pretended not to understand the sarcasm and put on the most gentle and kind smile on his face.

"This time, half of the reason is to ask you to keep the secret, and half of the reason is to respect your character..." Jiang Xiaobai kept talking, "Although you are stingy, at least you have some manners as a human being."

Lin Bai was in a very good mood at the moment, and asked with a smile: "May I ask how long have you rented it, Brother Jiang?"

"Five years." Jiang Xiaobai put his hands behind his back, looked up and chest out, and looked like a wealthy man. "Is it enough for you?"

Lin Bai was shocked. The Earth Fire Cave Mansion was not cheap. A short-term rental cost one month, 180 Spirit Stones. If it was rented for five years, it would cost almost 10,000 low-grade Spirit Stones. Of course, a long-term rental might be much cheaper, but it should still cost 6,000 to 7,000 low-grade Spirit Stones.

You should know that the Earth Fire Cave Mansion is rented out to people in the late stage of Qi training and foundation building. If you don't have some skills, you really can't afford to rent it.

Isn't this too generous? This girl is so fat? The foundation of the Jindan family?

As a poor guy, Lin Bai doesn’t know what to say.

"Why? Are you worried about my spiritual stones?" Jiang Xiaobai smiled confidently, "I just sprinkled some water."

"It's still too expensive." Lin Bai felt that the bronze medal was too hot to hold. "And if this matter gets out, won't I be torn up? I won't dare to leave Xinyifang anymore."

"What do you think of my Jiang family? My family has been in business for so many years and has never leaked anyone's secrets! Just say it's a short-term rental, and others won't be able to find out." Jiang Xiaobai glanced at the bronze medal in Lin Bai's hand, smacked his lips, but still had a faint smile on his face.

The two were staring at each other when two people walked in from outside the cave.

There was a man and a woman. The man was a Qi training disciple of the Jiang family, and he was leading a female cultivator.

The female cultivator was in her twenties, pretty and smiling.

Lin Bai felt that this female cultivator had a familiar face. After a brief thought, he recalled that it was this female cultivator who led Pei Ning into the Tianchi Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Yao, the person has been found. I will not stay here for long. If you need anything, you can come find me again." The Jiang family practitioner bowed to the female practitioner, glanced at Jiang Xiaobai, and turned and left.

"Sister Yao, why are you here?" Jiang Xiaobai smiled as soon as he saw the person coming. "Are you here to play with me?"

"That's not the case." The female cultivator also smiled and said, "I was entrusted by someone to come and find Fellow Daoist Yun Zhonghe." After saying that, she looked at Lin Bai.

This is to help Pei Ning pass on a message!
Lin Bai immediately bowed and said, "Yun Zhonghe greets fellow Taoist."

The female cultivator just nodded and said, "My name is Yao Qianyuan, and I'm Pei Ning's senior sister. She asked me to bring you something." After that, she took out a small purse and threw it to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai took it, bowed again, and said with a smile: "Thank you, fellow Taoist."

Then he asked, "May I ask, Brother Daoist Yao, is Pei Ning doing well in Tianchi Sect now?"

"Everything is fine." Yao Qianyuan held Jiang Xiaobai's hand, glanced at Lin Bai, and said, "The new disciples are all detained. They practice every day and have many homework. They can't go down the mountain for the time being. But wait a few days, there will be an assessment, and after passing it, they can go down the mountain."

"Thank you for letting me know." Lin Bai said as he quickly took out a bottle of Qi Condensation Pills and presented it to him with both hands.

Yao Qianyuan was not reserved and took it casually. Jiang Xiaobai tutted twice and muttered, "You never gave me the Qi Condensation Pill."

Lin Bai pretended not to hear and just smiled and said, "Could you please bring something for her?"

Yao Qianyuan looked somewhat embarrassed.

Lin Bai understood immediately and offered another bottle of Qi Condensation Pills, "Fellow Daoist Yao, please take good care of Pei Ning."

"It's just bringing some things for my fellow junior sister. It's nothing." Yao Qianyuan accepted the gift and smiled. "Junior sister Pei is the most thoughtful. She is also a bit withdrawn and doesn't interact with others much. You don't have to worry about her."

This person misunderstood, thinking that Lin Bai was afraid that his Taoist partner would run away! In fact, Lin Bai knew Pei Ning very well and knew that she would never change her mind. Lin Bai was just worried that she had been wronged in Tianchi Sect.

"Please wait a moment, fellow Taoist." Lin Bai bowed, then hurried back to the cave and wrote a letter quickly.

He then packed up a wooden box and put the letter and five bottles of Qi Condensing Pills in it.

Lin Bai was not worried about their suspicions, after all, Qi Condensation Pills were commonly used by Qi-training cultivators. Moreover, Yao Qianyuan was a disciple of the Jindan Sect, so she would not care about a few bottles of Qi Condensation Pills; not to mention the bastard from the Jiang family, she was not innocent to begin with, and she was being held responsible.

"I will deliver it to you." Yao Qianyuan took the wooden box with a smile, opened it and took a look, then put it in the storage ring and said with a smile: "Why don't you open the purse she gave you?"

Lin Bai opened it as he was told. There was a letter and a bottle of medicine inside, which was a Qi Condensing Pill.

"You two seem to be in sync with each other. She gave you a Qi Condensation Pill, and you gave her a Qi Condensation Pill in return." Yao Qianyuan smiled.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, fellow Taoist." Lin Bai also laughed.

"Although Junior Sister Pei only gave you one bottle, new disciples were only given two bottles, which she squeezed out from her frugal life." Yao Qianyuan earnestly reminded, "A girl's kindness is the most precious, you must not let her down."

"Thank you for your advice, I will keep it in mind." Lin Bai bowed again.

Jiang Xiaobai curled his lips and whispered, "It's the same as everyone else, they were squeezed out."

Yao Qianyuan said nothing more, just nodded, and pulled Jiang Xiaobai away.

When the two of them walked out of the Jiang family's property and came to the street, Yao Qianyuan stared at Jiang Xiaobai and asked, "I always feel that you are different from before, as if you just had a love affair."

Jiang Xiaobai was ashamed at first, then angry and said angrily: "You just had a love affair! You do it every day! Every night!"

"Yes, I'm going to go sleep with my old lover now." Yao Qianyuan said seriously.

"..." Jiang Xiaobai didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Oh, by the way," Yao Qianyuan seemed to remember something, "My junior sister Pei Ning asked me to say hello to you. She said her man lives in your house, and asked if you know if he has hooked up with anyone else?"

Jiang Xiaobai quickly shook his head, "He is very honest!"

"That's good." Yao Qianyuan nodded slightly and patted Jiang Xiaobai on the shoulder. "No matter whether he is honest or not, only an ignorant person like Junior Sister Pei would do that... what's the word?"

"You treasure your own things?" Jiang Xiaobai said with his head tilted. "Yes, yes, yes!" Yao Qianyuan was very happy, "Have you sold out the Tiger and Wolf Pills I gave you last time?"

"All sold out!" Jiang Xiaobai was very proud, "I even tried to refine a few furnaces myself!"

"You're refining that thing? You don't know if you can make pills or not?" Yao Qianyuan looked Jiang Xiaobai up and down, and then asked, "You didn't make it? Are you playing by yourself?"

"How is that possible? Although I don't have any talent for alchemy, I can make a small Tiger and Wolf Pill by bringing a dog over." Jiang Xiaobai waved his hands casually, with a disdainful smile on his face, confident and calm like a master alchemist.

After dealing with Yao Qianyuan, Jiang Xiaobai wiped the sweat from his forehead.

After returning to his own cave property, Jiang Xiaobai looked for Cave No. C again. When he came to Lin Bai's cave, he gently released spiritual power.

Soon, the cave opened.

She saw Lin Bai sitting cross-legged on a cushion with a letter in his hand, so she walked in.

"Have you seen off Brother Yao?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.

"Let's go." Jiang Xiaobai walked up to Lin Bai, seemingly casually, and then suddenly reached out to grab the letter.

However, I didn't get it.

"Little Daoist Brother Jiang, what do you mean?" Lin Bai smiled.

"It's boring." Jiang Xiaobai curled his lips and said, "I was fooled by you before. I thought you were really a poor guy. I didn't expect you had a lot of Qi Condensation Pills hidden in your hands. Tsk tsk tsk, you are good at pretending to be poor!"

"I have been practicing for a long time to get it. It took me a lot of effort." Lin Bai said sincerely, and then clasped his fists, "I hope Brother Jiang Xiaodao will keep the secret for me."

"You have to give me something to shut my mouth, right?" Jiang Xiaobai smiled proudly.

Lin Bai had no choice but to take out a bottle of Qi Condensation Pills and throw it over.

Jiang Xiaobai took it, sniffed it, then put it away with satisfaction, and looked at the letter in Lin Bai's hand.

Lin Bai also handed it to her to read. It was not a confidential matter. Besides, Pei Ning would never say anything important in the letter.

However, the two had been in cahoots for a long time, and Lin Bai could feel Pei Ning's intention from the letter.

"Who wants to read your broken letter?" Jiang Xiaobai took it casually, glanced at it, and read: "Everything is fine, I will be leaving the mountain soon, don't worry. Tsk tsk tsk, don't worry!"

She casually threw the letter to Lin Bai and said, "Let's go! I'll take you to the new place. You should talk less and don't let anyone know that I paid for the spirit stones!" Her tone was much lower, and it was unclear whether she was feeling sorry for the spirit stones or for some other reason.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao Jiang, a five-year lease is really too expensive." Lin Bai pretended to be ignorant.

"Haha, a few thousand low-grade spirit stones are just dozens of medium-grade spirit stones. It's a piece of cake for me." Jiang Xiaobai smiled faintly.

Lin Bai stopped pretending and immediately packed up his things and followed her out of the cave.

The two of them first went to talk to the manager of the C-unit, and then went south together to meet Chun Ge.

"Fellow Daoist Yun." The Jiang family's Qigong manager named Chun Ge bowed to Lin Bai and was quite polite.

Lin Bai returned the greeting without saying anything.

"Okay," Jiang Xiaobai said weakly in a muffled voice, "Don't be polite, Brother Yun, please move in." Then she pulled Brother Chun to the side to talk.

"What's the matter, little sister?" Chun Ge asked with a smile.

"Brother Chun, he's rented it for five years. I've brought you a huge business. Can't you give me a share?" Jiang Xiaobai said pitifully.

"Little sister, you helped him to lower the price to the lowest level. Our family doesn't make much money." Chun Ge sighed.

"Why not?" Jiang Xiaobai was immediately dissatisfied, "The underground fire will not go out, there is profit as long as there are people living here!" She pulled Chun Ge's sleeve and acted like a rogue, "Give me some, give me some, I'm almost penniless!"

"This is a family business, and the spirit stones won't fall into my hands... OK," Chun Ge was extremely helpless, took out a few spirit stones, and sighed, "If you hadn't helped him bargain before, wouldn't we have made more money?"

Am I bargaining for him? I'm bargaining for myself! Jiang Xiaobai bit his lower lip and said stubbornly, "He came to me with tears and snot, calling me auntie countless times. I felt sorry for him, so I agreed. If the price is too high, how can I show my ability?"

"Okay, okay, you have the ability." Chun Ge smiled helplessly, stuffed a few spiritual stones into her hands, and warned her: "Don't be soft-hearted in the future. If you are soft-hearted once, there will be a second and third time. We are here to do business, not to open a charity."

"I know, I know!" Jiang Xiaobai took the spirit stone, "It's not enough to buy a bottle of Qi Condensation Pill." She said with disgust, but flipped her hand, put it in the storage ring, and hurried to find Lin Bai.

When she came to Lin Bai's Underground Fire Cave, she revisited the old place and seemed to have thought of something, with an unnatural look on her face.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao Jiang, thank you so much for this. If it weren't for you, I would never be able to afford to rent such an expensive place." Lin Bai expressed his sincere gratitude.

"Haha, it's just a few spirit stones, nothing more." Jiang Xiaobai put his hands behind his back, his hands were white from clenching, and he said with an indifferent look on his face: "This matter is over, no one is allowed to mention it again, we are even. From now on, I am still the owner and you are the tenant, do you understand?"

"That's right." Lin Bai agreed immediately.

"You..." Seeing that Lin Bai was relieved, the girl glared back and strode away.

"Why do you say you're going to turn your back on me?"

Lin Bai asked himself if he had said anything wrong.

But never mind, even though that girl is a bit of a troublemaker, she is not a bad person and she won’t cause any trouble.

If it was Pei Ning, she would definitely need to be coaxed, after all, she would fall asleep if coaxed. But the girl wouldn't fall asleep, and she didn't dare to fall asleep, so Lin Bai was naturally too lazy to move.

Lin Bai closed the cave door, took out the spiritual materials, and started to make the elixir.
