Several days have passed since the trip to the Soul Hunting Forest.
During this time, Jian Douluo and Ning Rongrong accompanied Ye Zhiqiu to Notting City for a few days. Ye Zhiqiu also served as a good guide, taking them to eat all over the streets and alleys of Notting City. Emmm, they were all on credit, waiting for Xiao Chenyu to pay.
You ask why Ye Zhiqiu, who obviously collected so much protection money and was quite rich, was the one who had to pay the bill?
Ahem, to use Ye Zhiqiu's words, there are no problems that can be solved with money, and I can't solve any of them.
The second martial soul is the miser.
Under Ye Zhiqiu's bed, he hid half a basket of gold soul coins. Except for Xiao Wu, who would occasionally sneak out six or seven to play around, none of the other brothers dared to touch them.
Ning Rongrong spent three days with Ye Zhiqiu in Notting City. On their way back, she begged Ye Zhiqiu for a shadow clone with a second soul ring. She called it her new toy. (PS: Don't ask, the word "new" is not a typo.)
Jian Douluo didn't say anything this time. After all, Ye Zhiqiu's second soul ring could be divided into 10 clones. In his opinion, it didn't matter if there was one more or one less, and it would not have much impact on Ye Zhiqiu.
Ye Zhiqiu was naturally very happy about Ning Rongrong's request. He just gave the clone an order to go to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and listen to Ning Rongrong's words, and to find some high-level soul masters to reduce the negative emotion value. Then he didn't care about it anymore. Ye Zhiqiu's attitude towards this clone was completely free.
After everything was settled, Ye Zhiqiu naturally returned to Notting Junior Soul Master Academy. After applying for graduation at the end of the year at the Academic Affairs Office, Ye Zhiqiu found Xiao Chenyu and calculated the bill for him. It wasn't much, just a few dozen gold soul coins.
Afterwards, Ye Zhiqiu returned to Dormitory 7, leaving Xiao Chenyu, who was in tears but unable to cry. It seemed that his wallet was going to shrink again.
Pushing open the door of Dormitory 7 which he had not visited for a long time, Ye Zhiqiu walked in slowly. All the students in Dormitory 7 were present. They looked at Ye Zhiqiu who came in with some surprise.
"Brother Qiu."
"Brother Qiu~"
"Hey, Aqiu, you're back?" Tang San was a little surprised.
Xiao Wu turned her head slightly with a guilty conscience, her eyes darting around, hoping that the fact that she secretly took Brother Qiu's money would not be exposed.
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and nodded at them before replying, "When I first walked in, I saw you all had sad faces. What's wrong?"
Wang Sheng exchanged a glance with the other students, then gave a wry smile and said, "Brother Qiu, it's almost the end of the year. I guess you should have already hunted down your first spirit ring, right? In that case, four of us in Dormitory 7 will graduate this year. We brothers are a little reluctant to part ways."
"Well, I thought it was a big deal. Notting Intermediate Soul Master Academy is just to the east of Notting City. If you want to see it, you will naturally have a chance. But those who haven't graduated yet should practice hard and stop playing around all day. Look at Xiao San, he practices so hard. If you work half as hard as he does, your level won't be so low." Ye Zhiqiu acted like a big brother, pointing fingers and teaching those students who couldn't graduate.
They all lowered their heads in shame. Ever since Ye Zhiqiu came, their life as part-time students had gotten much better. They had indeed neglected their cultivation this year.
Tang San was helpless. He was being used as an example by Aqiu again. His practice was a habit accumulated from his previous life. Practice had become an instinct of his. If he stopped practicing one day, Tang San felt that he might feel uncomfortable all over.
Xiao Wu laughed out loud as she watched Ye Zhiqiu scolding people. She found this scene quite amusing. Ye Zhiqiu was clearly a child himself, yet he could act so serious and mature while scolding these children who were older than him. The scene felt a bit awkward.
After hearing Xiao Wu's clear laughter, Ye Zhiqiu glanced at her and said nonchalantly, "Xiao Wu, I've been away these days. I guess you've secretly taken a lot of my gold soul coins again, right?"
"No, absolutely not." Xiao Wu immediately denied it with her neck stiffened.
"Really? It seems like you've made a lot of progress." Ye Zhiqiu nodded calmly, turned around slightly, as if to put the matter behind him.
Seeing that the matter seemed to be over, Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Hehe, as long as I refuse to admit it, you can't do anything to me. After all, you have so many gold soul coins under your bed, and you don't even know how many there are, right?
"Wang Sheng just told me secretly that you took them every day during the five days I was away, and you took more than ten each time." Ye Zhiqiu's voice suddenly came faintly.
Xiao Wu, still feeling smug, hadn't reacted yet. After hearing Ye Zhiqiu's words, she retorted without hesitation: "Nonsense, I only took it four times, and each time I only took 6 gold soul coins from you."
"Pa!" Tang San covered his face.
"Pa!" Wang Sheng covered his face.
Xiao Wu reacted and quickly covered her mouth, but the words had already been spoken and it was obviously too late.
Ye Zhiqiu was looking at her with a half-smile. "Okay. Six coins a day, for four days, that's 24 coins. Adding the money from before, the total is 381 coins. Calculating the interest and rounding it up, that's 1,000 Gold Soul Coins. How are you going to pay me back?"
Xiao Wu:???
Five days later, Notting Junior Soul Master Academy officially went on vacation.
Many students returned home happily together, and the main road of Notting College was filled with people returning home.
In Dormitory 7, most of the students had already left, leaving only Ye Zhiqiu, Tang San, and Xiao Wu.
It's not that they are slow, but Ye Zhiqiu has been sleeping until now, and Tang San and Xiao Wu are waiting for him to pack up.
Since Xiao Wu was homeless, she decided to follow Ye Zhiqiu and Tang San to visit the Holy Soul Village after discussion last night, and then wait until Notting Intermediate College starts, and then enroll with the two of them.
Ye Zhiqiu and Tang San naturally would not object to such a thing, so we have the current scene.
Watching Ye Zhiqiu adding gold soul coins one by one to the black jade bracelet, Tang San's mouth twitched. He was shocked. How much money did you rob those kids in the academy this year? And where did you get your storage soul guide? Did you trick some idiot into giving it to him?
Xiao Wu looked at the gold soul coins with sparkling eyes. It would be great if all this money was mine.
"Ah, there are still 1,136 coins left. I am really an expert at making money." Ye Zhiqiu stood up and stretched his muscles, indulging himself for a while.
"Let's go to Notting City and buy some things to bring back. I'll treat you." Ye Zhiqiu looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu, waved his little hand, and said generously.
"Then I won't be polite. It's a good opportunity to bring some wine back to Dad." Tang San said with a smile.
Xiao Wu raised her hand excitedly: "I, I, I want to eat carrot feast!"
"Hmm? You still want to eat? Pay me back the money you owe me first."
"No, Brother Qiu, please treat me to a meal, please treat me to a meal." Xiao Wu started to act coquettishly, shaking Ye Zhiqiu's arm with a bitter face.
Ye Zhiqiu rubbed his head and said with a headache: "I really can't do anything about you. You only yell like that when you need me to pay, right?"
"I promise to call you that from now on as long as you treat me to a carrot dinner."
