Half-Tried Deity-Chapter 137: Recruiting Apprentice
Although Qi Huan now wanted to look for Qing Se to ask about her sect’s people, Qiao Qiao, whose identity was a little troublesome, was with her. Although she was not afraid of those people, this was the mortal world after all, if there was too much movement, it was hard to guarantee that no one in the heavens wouldn’t notice.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Qi Huan finally decided to follow Mo Ye’s intentions, stay hidden in the mortal world for a while first, wait for Qiao Qiao’s affairs to cool down a bit, then only look for Qing Se. Besides, Ling Feng Zi and the others were fine, Qi Huan knew their strength. If they were easily harmed, Ling Feng Zi would not be the head of the Qing Yun Sect.
When Qi Huan came to this world, apart from staying at that old Master Song’s house for a while, and being mistaken for a ghost, she really never lived in the mortal world again.
Therefore, she was yearning for the prosperous inland areas. But Mo Ye seemed to prefer a quieter place. He meant to find a small valley with beautiful scenery to live in for a while, and live a peaceful life.
However, if Mo Ye hadn’t smiled so scary when he said it, his words would be more convincing.
In the end, they settled the problem by bet. Qi Huan prepared twenty paper balls for Mo Ye to catch. And they would go wherever stated on the paper ball he caught. Of course, the premise was that Mo Ye couldn’t cheat.
Mo Ye didn’t cheat. He chose very carefully for more than a minute, and even compared the size of the paper balls. Perhaps he felt that he could analyze Qi Huan’s psychological activities at the time from the folds on the paper balls…
It was a pity that his luck was not with him. He picked a paper ball with a big cross on the white paper which indicated that they had to follow Qi Huan’s plan.
Mo Ye looked at the paper in his hand, and then at Qi Huan with a smug look, “You really didn’t do anything?”
“Of course, I swear.” Qi Huan swore it.
Mo Ye raised his eyebrows, reached out his hand to grab the paper ball, this woman’s oath couldn’t be believed simply, just look at the treacherous smile of her! After the paper balls were opened one by one, Mo Ye was stunned. Qi Huan did not cheat, because at the time Qi Huan only told him that there would be two patterns on the paper: a cross and a tick. A tick meant that they would follow Mo Ye’s plan. However, only one out of the twenty paper balls had a tick mark…
Was this a fraud?! Did he look like someone who was easily cheated? Mo Ye began to reflect on himself.
Finally, Mo Ye was dragged by Qi Huan reluctantly, and found a place called Jinxiu City to live in.
Jinxiu City was not a big place, but it was very famous because it produced silk and supplied silk to the royal family, especially the Fang Family in the city. Although the city owner was not named Fang, their family was the most powerful people there because the royal family would always send people to give “beg” cloth to the Fang Family.
Before they entered the city, they heard about the eldest lady named Fang Zhijin from the Fang Family. Zhijin weaved exquisitely, her products could be considered the best in the world. Even the imperial concubine couldn’t wear her brocade, only the emperor and empress had this opportunity.
Qi Huan just listened to this as a story. She could only look up to these kinds of womanly things. One shouldn’t expect from Qi Huan to be a woman who could hold a needle!
Mo Ye used the money given by Grandpa Liu to buy a mansion in the remote southwest corner of Jinxiu City. He also bought a restaurant on the most crowded street in Jinxiu City.
He had no choice, Qi Huan said she must open a restaurant, saying that she wanted to experience life on earth. In fact, Mo Ye felt that her behavior was just to hide her greed.
They heard that the family who bought the house before was also a big family. The master recently moved to Beijing to become an official so his entire family moved there. The furnishings in the house were sold to Mo Ye at the original price. Mo Ye was too lazy to clean up by himself, so he just paid the bill and received the house.
Except the bedroom he and Qi Huan lived in was refurbished by Qi Huan, nothing else was changed at all.
In the end, the happiest person was not Qi Huan, but Qiao Qiao. She had never lived in such a large and luxurious house alone, and had no one to look at her with coveting or fearful eyes.
Qiao Qiao told Qi Huan that her family was actually very wealthy and her father was a landlord. But when she lived with her family until she was seven years old, her eyes began to change and no one couldn’t heal it. She was hated by her father, especially later when her father’s concubine gave birth to another son, and she was even more unwelcome. In the end, she was forced to live in a place that was not even as good as a wood shed, and she ate whatever the livestock ate.
