Chapter 649 - 0375 Opportunity to Get Rich (2-in-1)_2

Looking at it this way, Senior Wen indeed has a protective nature, so... I can convey the message myself, but I must ensure I’ve got enough benefits?

Blink.

Isn’t this... taking money under orders?

At this moment, he somewhat feels a justified, rightful ability to bully Miss Yun because of cultivation.

The same meaning.

Zhu Pingniang: "..."

She glanced at Xu Chang’an, who was slowly realizing things, and clicked her tongue.

Actually, Zhu Pingniang still doesn’t believe Wen Li truly likes Xu Chang’an, and she still harbors some disbelief in this matter.

That is Wen Li we’re talking about.

Let’s not talk about her personality.

Just thinking about entering the heart of a half-demon who knew nothing but killing before coming up the mountain is not an easy task.

To win her affection and admiration.

Can this be achieved just by a few words and daily interactions?

Impossible.

Anyone might be a cheap girl, but not Wen Li.

That girl knows better than anyone else what she wants, which is why her Sword Heart can forge ahead unwaveringly.

Perhaps, Young Wen just hasn’t thought things through.

This girl is quite different from Liu Qingluo.

However, Zhu Pingniang suddenly froze for a moment.

Speaking of which, Wen’Er desires long-lasting peace, while the young boy in front of her is also Chang’an.

Why only Chang’an?

And not peace?

Bow your head.

Oh, that would be me.

Zhu Pingniang shook her head in a daze, giggling: "It’s a pity, even if you succeed, you can’t settle everything down, wasting your name."

"..."

Used to the teasing, Xu Chang’an pretends he hears nothing and rather asks: "Ms. Zhu, what do you think... I should ask for to satisfy Senior Wen without offending anyone?"

"Useless, do you need me to teach you how to squeeze the wealthy step by step?" Zhu Pingniang is somewhat annoyed.

As a girl from Muyu Peak, how would you not know how to extort Spirit Stones from men? If Ah Zi knew, she might say Muyu Peak has fallen now.

Oh.

I almost forgot, he’s a man, not a girl.

Xu Chang’an only smiled.

For him, it’s better to ask clearly in these matters. After all, what can you be embarrassed about asking your elders?

Being cautious helps catch cicadas for thousands of years; carefulness makes the ship sail forever.

Even though he knows his current backing might be extraordinarily strong, it’s best to not offend people if he can, so he must measure things appropriately.

Xu Chang’an never considered rejecting this Spirit Stone, as Miss Yun needs too many things at the moment, so where it comes from... it’s not important.

First, have it, then think about how to get it.

"Still, asking you to get things is a bit difficult. Then I’ll teach you," Zhu Pingniang said, "Chang’an, Sikong Jing once wanted to scatter money in Beisang City."

"What do you mean?" Xu Chang’an instinctively felt that Zhu Pingniang had a deeper meaning.

"It means, he’s a spendthrift without much concept of silver or Spirit Stones," Zhu Pingniang said. "After all, he is the Young Sect Leader of the Profound Sword Bureau."

Xu Chang’an seemed thoughtful.

"And what you can get from such a person, perhaps... hinges on how much you want," Zhu Pingniang smiled, "Do you understand what I’m saying?"

It all depends... on how much one wants?

"Oh, you don’t have much ambition, so you won’t ask for much," Zhu Pingniang shrugged, though to make her words more convincing, she reminded Xu Chang’an:

"Think, what Sikong Jing might be willing to offer for guidance from Wen Li on Sword Dao... then you’ll know what you can obtain."

Actually, Zhu Pingniang didn’t say one thing.

If Xu Chang’an promises Sikong Jing that Wen Li will guide him... maybe he could strip Sikong Jing clean.

And as long as he speaks, Wen Li is unlikely to refuse pointing out some things to a junior.

But knowing that Xu Chang’an would never do such a thing, hence saying that delivering a message is his limit.

Ultimately... does Xu Chang’an really need to do such a thing?

Zhu Pingniang tilted her head.

Lacking Spirit Stones?

Am I and Ah Bai just decorations?

Only if they can give, will Xu Chang’an accept, that’s the real question.

Therefore, Zhu Pingniang put away these thoughts, looked at Xu Chang’an, and asked: "Have you got any ideas? Let me say... you’re Ah Bai’s student, so really you can ask for however much you want."

Even if this matter escalates, and Sikong Lixu finds out, he’ll only despise Xu Chang’an for asking for too little.

This is Li Zhibai’s student, and being able to speak in her presence is enough.

Thus, this opportunity for "pauper" Xu Chang’an... is all benefit, no harm.

He just needs to speak up and ask.

Zhu Pingniang thinks of this and sees Xu Chang’an’s expression, pouting: "But I know you have no ambition, won’t ask for much."

"Does Chang’an... seem like a greedy person?" Xu Chang’an was helpless.

What kind of person am I in Zhu Pingniang’s mind?

One moment causing trouble, the next asking for everything?

"Without greed, how could you cultivate?" Zhu Pingniang retorted.

Indeed.

Miss Yun also wants him to be a greedy person.

"Perhaps... I lack the abilities of a teacher and you?" Xu Chang’an thought for a moment and calmly said: "Relying on connections always disgust people in the end."

"Wen Li will only think you ask too little," Zhu Pingniang spat: "Including those girls who admire Wen Li; given her reputation, if you ask too little, they’re the first who won’t agree."

"Ms. Zhu." Xu Chang’an at this moment finally realized the gap between himself and this Senior Zhu.

Like when she mentioned Senior Sikong, she only thinks about the Sect Leader of the Profound Sword Bureau.

The things he thinks about are irrelevant to Zhu Pingniang.

"Hmm?" Zhu Pingniang looked at him.

"My thought is... to be appropriate, consider it as a good relationship with Senior Sikong." Xu Chang’an said.

This is a brother with unlimited potential.

Regardless of whether he wants him to accept gifts.

Xu Chang’an believes leaving a greedy impression of him is ultimately not a good thing.

"Oh, so that’s what you were thinking, then it’s fine." Zhu Pingniang understood Xu Chang’an’s point, feeling a bit helpless but had no choice.

Connections?

For Xu Chang’an nowadays, does that has any use?

But if he thinks it’s useful, then let it be useful.

After all, Ah Bai is reluctant to be exposed, and in Xu Chang’an’s future, he’ll have to rely on himself for quite a long way.

"If you think this way, then I have nothing more to say. In short, don’t let Wen’Er seem cheap, then..." Zhu Pingniang whispers a number in Xu Chang’an’s ear.

"Hiss." Xu Chang’an gasped.

"..."

Seeing Xu Chang’an’s dazed expression, Zhu Pingniang clenched her fists: "Look at you with little spirit, this is the bottom line, or wait to be attacked by Su’Er."

"...Understood." Xu Chang’an nodded.

The young man looked serious.

But waves had already arisen in his heart.

He completely didn’t expect that casually chatting with Senior Zhu would lead to such unexpected gains.

"Senior Zhu, why did Senior Sikong... specially look for me?" Xu Chang’an couldn’t understand.

"Who’s calling who ’Senior’?" Zhu Pingniang twitched her lips.

She thoroughly understands how poor this young one is. Merely being able to use Spirit Stones as he pleases in the Open Source Realm could still shake him?

"Why find you? Naturally, because finding anyone else wouldn’t work." Zhu Pingniang waved her hand, unwilling to explain much, just saying: "It’s high time for the Profound Sword Bureau and Muyu Peak to reconcile, so even if you don’t handle message delivery, it’s time to find someone else."

Since that’s the case, why can’t this person be Xu Chang’an?

Everyone wouldn’t have objections, after all.

If there were objections?

Did you see the Sword Intent on Xu Chang’an when he went out?

Thus, this is the silver he rightly deserves.

Zhu Pingniang even thinks Xu Chang’an is asking too little, after all... compared to what Wen Li gets from him, it’s still too cheap.

The favored one always is.

"Oh." Xu Chang’an nodded, indicating he understood.

Senior Sikong?

No.

It’s the Wealth-Bringing Boy.

This ought to be a win-win situation, right?

"By the way, put aside Sikong Jing’s case first; I was thinking about something earlier."

Zhu Pingniang blinked: "Tell me, why would a young man like you suddenly inquire about a woman’s matters... what’s the reason?"

She just thought of it.

When Sikong Jing came to see her, he mentioned Qingluo and asked for her name.
