Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower-Chapter 606: Minister of Rites Thanks for the Gifts

The small courtyard was crammed with jasmine, suddenly redolent with an unmatched fragrance.

Originally, the yard was ruled by weeds, but now that newcomers had arrived, their living space had been greatly reduced.

At this moment, the ancient weeds could only survive in the crevices.

The little bees were different, though. After spending most of the day in this desolate spot, without water or pollen and unable to fly beyond it no matter how hard they tried, they were nearly shutting down.

Just when the bees were despondently wondering what to do, suddenly a clear spring and many jasmines appeared.

These were all things they were familiar with, only they didn’t know why they had appeared here.

However, with their limited brain capacity, once they determined there was no threat, they began busily moving bricks.

Yet, what they didn’t know was that Space didn’t distinguish between day and night, so they began an endless work schedule from sunrise to sunset.

Although it was year-round without a break, the bees soon were astonished to discover that the water here was especially sweet, and the pollen was exceptional. Moreover, the flowers never wilted all year round, and gathering the nectar didn’t require flying too far—a mere turn was enough.

This greatly reduced the bees’ working hours, and without realizing it, their waists thickened!

But that’s a story for another time.

Meanwhile, after ransacking the place, two of the Sky-Thieves were preparing to leave.

This was, after all, Famous Scholar Mountain, and thinking of a base below, Bai Junjun considered the possibility of going down to snoop around.

However, Li Wenli shook her head and stopped Miss.

"We’re new here, unfamiliar with everything. It’s better to gather more information before revisiting. Besides, it’s almost dawn, and the Minister of Rites may bring a letter tomorrow. Returning late wouldn’t be good," she said.

Thinking of the letter from Li Changfeng in the Minister of Rites’ possession, Bai Junjun suddenly became alert.

If this were a TV drama, typically the next day, a villain would suddenly appear, killing the Minister of Rites, and once again, the protagonist would lose a clue, leaving the situation without progress.

Bai Junjun initially worried whether they would also encounter such a cliché plot, but clearly, she was overthinking it.

Early the next morning, someone was knocking at their door.

The Minister of Rites arrived even earlier than the craftsman, already waiting at the door with big and small packages for them to open the door.

Upon seeing this, everyone hurriedly welcomed the Minister of Rites in.

Before Bai Junjun and the others could get excited, the ordinary folks outside again grew exhilarated.

Who exactly was the new owner of Bai Residence? Just the day before yesterday, Prince Hanying had sent gifts, and today the Minister of Rites was bringing gifts.

Clearly, it was someone of wealth or nobility!

Although everyone was curious, still no one dared to come over and take a look.

Once Li Wenli ushered the Minister of Rites inside, he immediately presented them with two hundred taels of silver, along with many brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.

Bai Junjun, seeing the amount increased by one hundred taels from yesterday’s agreement, was naturally surprised.

The Minister of Rites gave a sheepish smile, "I wasn’t clear yesterday. It’s one hundred taels per person. Since you both helped me with the matter, of course, it’s two hundred taels."

In fact, if they were ordinary people, he would have sent them off with just one hundred taels, but the other parties were Bai Junjun and Li Wenli!

One was the World’s Number One Talent Girl, and the other a descendant of the same lineage. If he didn’t offer an appropriate amount, he could easily be ridiculed.

The dignified Minister of Rites, how could he tolerate others laughing at him?

Therefore, when it was time to be generous, he couldn’t be stingy.

Unaware of the Minister of Rites’ little schemes, the two readily accepted the thank you gift.
