After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 28 Painting

"We've taken everything from the storage bags, but there's still some left in the house," Jiang Lin'er reminded them.

She held Meng Zhu's storage bag in her hand, taking it up and down, but refusing to return it to Meng Zhu. This caused Meng Zhu's gaze to shift with her movements, filled with anxiety.

"I won't..." Du Yue was about to say that it was alright.

All of these things in the house have been used by Meng Zhu and the others, and most importantly, by Chu Xin. Even if she wanted them back, she didn't want to see them again.

At least I didn't see those things in the storage bag with my own eyes, so I can at least have some peace and quiet.

No way! If it's good stuff, of course you have to take it!

Mo Jiuwei, who was still on the roof, suddenly became anxious.

These words successfully interrupted Du Yue, stopping her from saying anything more.

That painting hanging on the wall, that's something good, it's a treasure!

Take it away quickly!

Mo Jiuwei was looking at a painting hanging on the wall of the room. It was a vast landscape painting with delicate brushstrokes and a profound artistic conception.

Du Yue's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly looked over, but couldn't see anything special; it seemed no different from an ordinary painting.

But this is what Jiuwei said, so it can't be wrong!

"Alright then." Du Yue changed her mind at the last minute, and then packed away her belongings from the room.

As she collected the items, she checked them one by one. Finally, when she received a mirror, she frowned. "This one is dirty."

“I can use the Cleanse spell…” Meng Zhu said with a mournful face, her heart bleeding.

"Forget it, it's really disgusting." Du Yue snorted. "Let's find something else to replace it."

"Change it if you want. You can choose whatever you want from this room. I doubt he would dare say anything," Jiang Lin'er said with a smile.

Meng Zhu dared not speak out in anger, clenching her fists and remaining silent.

"That's it."

Du Yue looked dejected and casually pointed to the painting.

As soon as she said this, everyone, including Jiang Lin'er, looked at the painting, wanting to see why she had chosen it.

However, just as Du Yue couldn't see its special qualities, neither could anyone else, so Du Yue successfully took it away.

[Hehe, Senior Sister Du Yue has such good taste! She thinks exactly the same thing I do!]

This trip was definitely worthwhile!

Mo Jiuwei was satisfied. Seeing that there was nothing else going on, she relaxed and fell asleep again.

Du Yue's face flushed red with embarrassment.

She has no discernment at all; isn't it all because she can hear her junior sister's thoughts?
"Finished picking?" Jiang Lin'er asked.

"Well, it's over."

The junior sister didn't say anything more, so that meant it was over.

"Okay, you go first, I'll leave later." Jiang Lin'er raised her chin slightly, gesturing for Du Yue to leave quickly.

"Alright, you... be careful." Du Yue nodded, then looked at Meng Zhu, her face cold and resolute. "Meng Zhu, this is the end between us. From now on, we'll be strangers, and have nothing to do with each other!"

After saying that, he turned around and left his house amidst Meng Zhu's gritted teeth, and then met up with Chen Lan and the others.

Just as I was about to speak, I heard several panicked shouts from behind, followed by a burst of flame that quickly ignited!
Jiang Lin'er actually burned the house down!

Meng Zhu's pleas for mercy, Hu Yu's cries, and Chu Xin's angry voice mingled together, but none of these could stop the fire from spreading so quickly that even the wind carried a scorching, burnt smell. Du Yue and the other two watched in stunned silence.

"How could she..." Du Yue asked, puzzled.

"Well done! She deliberately let you go so she could take all the blame herself." Chen Lan's eyes showed admiration. "This Miss Jiang is truly remarkable, daring to love and hate."

It was obvious that Jiang Lin'er had no intention of letting Meng Zhu off the hook. First, she threatened to set fire to Meng Zhu and make him beg for forgiveness. Then she demanded that he pay compensation. Meng Zhu thought that once he paid the compensation, the matter would be over, so he reluctantly agreed.

In reality, Jiang Lin'er had no intention of stopping. First, she took the storage bag to make their family heartbroken, then she burned down their house to make them completely despair. Only in this way could she relieve the hatred in her heart.

No matter how much the Meng family hated her, she wasn't afraid because her father, the city lord, was there to protect her.

But Du Yue was different; she didn't have the confidence to do so. So Jiang Lin'er took the blame for burning the house herself and deliberately chased Du Yue away in front of Meng Zhu, so that Du Yue could clear herself of the matter.

"Senior Sister Du, that Meng Zhu is blind and has a despicable character. You should be glad you didn't end up with him. Don't be sad for someone like that," Ji Qingqing said, trying to comfort her so as not to upset her.

Du Yue shook her head. "No, don't worry."

Everyone was a bit tired after all that, so we went to a restaurant and ordered a few dishes.

I want some too!

Mo Jiuwei was awakened by the aroma of the food, which then whetted her appetite.

"Is Jiuwei hungry? There's still deer milk here, would you like some?" Ji Qingqing asked.

[I don't want deer milk anymore! I want to eat something delicious! I want to eat that soup!]

Mo Jiuwei stared intently at a certain spot, and Du Yue and the others followed her gaze, then called over the waiter.

"Waiter, bring us a serving of that soup too," Chen Lan said, pointing to it.

This was ordered by guests at another table. There were three women and two men at that table, but they only ordered this one bowl of soup, which was being eaten by the most elegantly dressed woman.

I don't know what kind of soup it is, but it has a light green color and looks like tender tofu, but it's even smoother.

But the waiter's expression turned strange upon hearing this. "That is the Seven Treasures Wine Soup, made from seven kinds of spiritual fruits and seven kinds of spiritual herbs. It has a warming and nourishing effect, which can not only enhance spiritual power, but also benefit a woman's skin."

"Such good stuff? Then we definitely need to get one!" Ji Qingqing's eyes lit up.

Junior Sister Jiuwei is quite sensible. She has never been picky about food, clothing, or daily necessities over the years, and has even made many contributions to their Immortal Sect.

The fact that the whole family has enough to eat and drink and can cultivate is all thanks to her!

Since she rarely has anything she likes, of course we'll give it to her.

In fact, Chen Lan and her friends were very frugal. Although they came to this restaurant to dine, the dishes they ordered were relatively inexpensive, and the portions were just enough to eat. They were not extravagant at all.

They all came from impoverished backgrounds, so they're used to being frugal.

Even knowing that this Seven Treasures Wine Soup was a good thing, they only planned to order one for Mo Jiuwei, and they themselves did not intend to touch it.

"Of course, that's no problem, but... one serving costs 1,200 crystals." After saying that, the waiter looked at their expressions.

Sure enough, I was not surprised to see their shocked expressions.

"1200 yuan for a bowl?" Du Yue and the others were indeed shocked.

"Indeed, this Seven Treasures Wine Soup is extremely precious and complicated to make. We limit it to one hundred servings per day, and it's sold out quickly. You all arrived relatively early, so there are still a few left. If you had come any later, even if you had the money, you wouldn't have been able to eat any."

The waiter smiled and said, "So, shall we continue with this soup?"

I'll be updating twice a day today. There will be one more update tonight.
