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

Chapter 388 Zhanxin Hall

How could there be such heartless parents in the world!
Ren Ruojiu is also a mother, but she just can't understand all of this.

If it were her, and her child was born with a disability, she would spend all her family's savings to treat her.

Even if it's truly incurable, and the child can't walk or cultivate in the future, so what?
As long as she grows up safely and dies of old age, I can simply take care of her for the rest of my life.

It's truly incomprehensible that Mo Jiuwei's parents would abandon her just because of this.

Hu Xiu was also moved. He reached out and patted Mo Jiuwei's shoulder, "Good sister, from now on you are my own sister. If you need anything, just ask your brother!"

He's the darling of the Immortal Sect, doted on by so many senior brothers and sisters. How could you, the "brother," possibly be in his shoes?
Ren Ruojiu gave him a push, both amused and exasperated. "Who are you to fawn over? But Jiuwei, if you ever need anything in the future, you don't need to be polite with me or your brother Hu Xiu. Our family welcomes you to come and visit anytime."

Mo Jiuwei smiled and nodded, then thanked her.

She knew that the reason the two men said that was partly because they liked her, but the most important reason was because of the Immortal Sect behind her.

Who doesn't know that the rise of the Immortal Sect is unstoppable? Being able to establish a connection with the Immortal Sect, even if it's not useful, is better than nothing.

However, Mo Jiuwei did not think there was anything wrong with this kind of "scheming". It is true that sincerity is necessary for interpersonal relationships, but if there are interests in addition to sincerity, then such feelings will be more lasting.

Even if I initially befriended Hu Xiu, wasn't it because he had the Hu family backing him?

“By the way, when we meet Manager Zhu later, we’ll probably have to give him some benefits. But although he loves money, he only likes rare things. Jiuwei, do you have anything here that can impress him?” Ren Ruojiu suddenly remembered something and asked her, “If you don’t have anything, I can find something to put on my back first.”

"Mother, you're already preparing a bribe before even meeting him?" Hu Xiu clicked his tongue. "What if he takes the bribe but doesn't do anything?"

"No, he wouldn't accept it if he couldn't do it."

If he were that greedy, only taking money and not doing anything, he would have been driven away by public outcry long ago.

"Does he have any hobbies?" Mo Jiuwei asked.

“He’s not picky about any rare items. If I had to name his personal preferences, I know he likes drinking tea,” Ren Ruojiu said after thinking for a moment.

"Tea? That's perfect. I have a kind of spiritual tea here. He certainly won't refuse it."

Mo Jiuwei then spoke.

This tea was obtained by Chen Lan in the secret realm. She picked the tender buds there and made them into tea after returning.

This tea is rare, full of spiritual energy and pure in flavor. What makes it even rarer is that it seems to exist only in that secret realm and not on the mainland.

After Chen Lan finished making it, she gave a lot to Mo Jiuwei, but since she drank little, there was still some left. It wouldn't hurt to give away a small portion of it.

No matter how knowledgeable Manager Zhu is, he couldn't possibly ignore such a rare item.

"That's good. Keep it for now, and give it to me when the time is right."

They chatted along the way, and soon they arrived at Zhanxintang.

Located in a bustling downtown area with wide streets and large shops, Zhanxintang is clearly more impressive than the surrounding shops.

"We've arrived, Jiuwei. I'll go talk to Manager Zhu later. You can just add your comments from the side."

"it is good."

As luck would have it, just as they entered, a middle-aged man was coming down the stairs from the second floor. Ren Ruojiu's eyes lit up when she saw him, and she stepped forward first, calling out, "Manager Zhu!" To make it easier to talk business, she didn't carry Mo Jiuwei; instead, Hu Xiu carried her.

Mo Jiuwei thought to herself that this male cultivator was just not comfortable to hold. He didn't have the softness that only women have, and it was uncomfortable for him to hold her.

But considering the materials, I guess I'll just have to make do.

Manager Zhu raised an eyebrow. "So it's Fairy Ruojiu? What brings you to my Zhanxin Hall? What business do you have here?"

Manager Zhu liked beautiful women, but only young and charming ones. Mature beauties like Ren Ruojiu were not his type, so Mo Jiuwei didn't notice anything unusual on his face when she was observing him.

"It's not about business. A friend of mine asked me to find two kinds of materials. They're rare, so I thought of Manager Zhu." Ren Ruojiu smiled politely, her words warm yet courteous.

Manager Zhu glanced at Hu Xiu, then lingered on Mo Jiuwei for a moment before quickly looking away.

Obviously, no one would take such a small child seriously, and Manager Zhu would never have guessed that the person who entrusted Ren Ruojiu was this little baby.

"I wonder what kind of material it is, that it's so hard to find?" Manager Zhu asked curiously.

Something that even Ren Ruojiu couldn't find, it's no ordinary item.

"It's the pot-neck stone and the night-blooming jasmine."

"Oh? That is indeed an uncommon item, rarely used by anyone. I imagine my shop doesn't have it either." Manager Zhu's expression shifted slightly.

Ren Ruojiu smiled apologetically, "Manager Zhu is too kind. Even if Zhanxintang doesn't have it, I think it wouldn't be difficult for you to find it with your status and connections. I hope you can help me with this matter."

As he spoke, he winked at Mo Jiuwei.

Mo Jiuwei understood, took out a small jar of tea, and handed it to Hu Xiu.

Hu Xiu handed it to Manager Zhu, saying, "Manager Zhu, this is just a small token of our appreciation. We'll have to trouble you with the materials."

Manager Zhu's gaze shifted to his hands, and a hint of curiosity appeared on his smiling face, but he quickly frowned.

Because that jar was really ordinary, just a plain white jade jar, it looked like it had no decorations at all.

Everyone knows that good things are always carefully packaged, such as in exquisite boxes or jars made of precious materials.

But what is this thing in front of me? It looks like something casually handed over as a gift!
Manager Zhu had always loved grand gestures and luxury, so this simple jar immediately gave him a bad impression, and his expression darkened slightly.

Ren Ruojiu's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, I forgot to remind Jiuwei that we should have used a better box!

Ren Ruojiu secretly regretted her oversight. She only felt that Mo Jiuwei acted like a little adult and spoke very tactfully, so she subconsciously treated her as an adult and did not consider things thoroughly.

Otherwise, this point would definitely have been mentioned beforehand, so Manager Zhu wouldn't have been upset.

"Manager Zhu, this tea is quite special, please take a look..."

She helped to find the missing pieces.

"Really? I'm quite curious, what kind of tea could be praised so highly by Fairy Ruojiu?" Manager Zhu glanced at her, then took the jar with a half-smile.

He claimed to be curious, but his demeanor and actions seemed casual and even showed a hint of disdain, which clearly didn't seem like he valued it.
