She immediately moved to the right.

"What did you buy?"

"No, it's nothing."

"Really nothing?"

Lin Li narrowed his eyes, and just one move made Bai Lanyu break out in a cold sweat.

"Really...really nothing...nothing, nothing, nothing..."

Whoosh.

Bai Lanyu felt suddenly a lot more relaxed.

The weight is gone, eh.

Eh? !

Lin Li held the scroll in his hand and weighed it for a long time, feeling the weight of five taels of silver.

But it's too light.

If this little girl knew that five taels of silver was enough for several big meals, she would probably cry to death, seeing how she was eating the pig's trotter noodles.

That’s not right. Where did this girl get so much money?

This is how it works when spending money, but making money requires a lot more consideration.

Especially the little girl Bai Lanyu, she has no way to make money.

"what is this?"

Lin Li held the letter and asked the question even though he knew the answer.

"The calligraphy... the painting... I thought it was beautiful, so I bought it... I originally wanted to give it to my senior brother..."

After Bai Lanyu finished speaking, she lowered her head silently, with her lower lip turned up and an innocent look on her face.

"A calligraphy or painting? For me?"

Lin Li never thought that Bai Lanyu would have such thoughts.

"How do you know I like these calligraphy and paintings?"

"Just last time, I saw my senior brother drawing. He also said that my handwriting was not good-looking. I thought he would like this kind of thing..."

The girl spoke more and more quietly.

The little face was getting redder and redder.

Ever since her black stockings turned silver-white, Bai Lanyu's emotions could no longer be hidden.

"You know each other."

In a trance.

Qingyue's voice sounded.

Bai Lanyu looked up suddenly, and saw a woman wearing a gauze hat beside Lin Li.

Can't see face clearly.

But the sound doesn't sound bad.

"My junior sister."

Look at Bai Lanyu's performance just now.

In the end, Lin Li still couldn't bear to expose the truth behind the calligraphy and painting.

The lightness of five taels of silver now finally seemed to have a little more weight.

"Since it's a thoughtful gesture, I'll accept it."

Lin Li put the calligraphy and painting into the pocket on his sleeve, and rubbed Bai Lanyu's head using his height:

“However, if you have some spare money later, why not buy some good food and treat yourself better. It will make you very happy to be my senior brother.”

"Um……"

The boy's tone was still so gentle.

It was as if that confrontation had never happened.

Such a good senior brother.

I seriously injured him at that time.

Thinking of this, Bai Lanyu felt a sudden lump in her throat and almost cried.

But I thought that my senior brother still had friends around him.

She couldn't afford to lose face for her senior brother and the sect, so she quickly held back her tears and nodded heavily:

"I got it."

Bai Lanyu looked at the girl wearing the bamboo hat, and then looked at her senior brother.

After thinking for a while, he boldly took Lin Li's right hand for the first time, took him aside and whispered:

"Um, Senior Brother, do you have something to discuss with your friend?"

"Yes, a little, but it's nothing serious. What's wrong?"

Bai Lanyu looked at Shangguan Jin carefully.

But he could not find any sign of spiritual energy surging or sword intent surging.

Just an ordinary person.

Compared to those who are on the same immortal path.

My senior brother seems to like making friends with ordinary people.

This guy is, and so is Xiao Yuner.

Ok……

Bai Lanyu's little head was spinning rapidly, but she couldn't figure out what was going on.

So she gave up decisively:

"No, nothing, I'm just a little curious, but since you want to discuss something, I'll go back first."

"Okay, but remember, even though you've been relaxing recently, don't be too indulgent. You're going to join the Changshengtian Clan."

Lin Li patted his junior sister on the shoulder, gave her earnest instructions under Shangguan Jin's gaze, and then let Bai Lanyu go back.

"Is she going to join Changshengtian too?"

The silver hair disappeared in the vast crowd.

Shangguan Jin then asked.

"Ah."

Lin Li nodded.

"He's competing with you?"

Shangguan Jin still knew some of the rules of Changshengtian, such as how many places a sect would have for participating in the competition.

"No, she beat me, so she participated on my behalf."

Lin Li chuckled and answered generously.

"But aren't you the eldest brother?"

In Shangguan Jin's opinion, the eldest senior brother is usually the sect's direct disciple and also the most powerful one.

Direct disciples are the same as direct descendants, and both possess absolute advantages that are envied by others.

In fact, in many things, as long as these kinds of people participate, others will basically have no chance to get a share of the profits.

"What's the matter, big brother?"

Lin Li gently supported his neck with one hand and replied with relief:

"Who says that the eldest brother can only win? Who says that the youngest brother will definitely lose? There is no such logic in this world."

These words made Shangguan Jinqiao suddenly stop his hands on his chest.

Under the veil, the pupils shrank slightly.

Yeah, it seems that this doesn’t make sense…

"That is nice."

"Huh? What?"

Shangguan Jin's murmur made Lin Li look over subconsciously.

Before he could react, a heavy bag was handed to him by Her Royal Highness the Princess.

The brocade bag still faintly exudes Shangguan Jin's unique fragrance.

"This is……"

"Ten taels of silver, as your junior sister's money to buy calligraphy, you can keep the rest for yourself."

The rich young lady said this and stepped forward.

Lin Li was stunned for a while, then hurriedly followed:

"Hey, why are you giving me money?"

"Don't let me feel heavy on you, I'll give it to you."

"Ah? Can this still happen?"

"Why not? I am a princess."

"Your Highness, you are so willful. Since you are giving money, why don't you bring more?"

"Don't be so ungrateful."

"I mean it."

"I'm serious too."

The two people walked away noisily.

And on the top of the tall building next to it.

...These two, seem to be getting along pretty well?

The woman sitting on the tiles of a high-rise building, holding a pot of wine in her hand, watched the two people sink into the vast crowd with a smile.

"Whether the future is eternal light or eternal darkness, it all depends on your choice, Xiao Li."

04. The Art of Words (You’ve done your senior a disservice)

The time spent out with Shangguan Jin soon came to an end.

In order to avoid being discovered, Her Royal Highness the Princess cannot roam outside for a long time.

After bidding farewell to His Highness.

Lin Li even took a special walk around Xuanyi City.

The silver given by Her Royal Highness the Princess was heavy.

Lin Li refused to go back no matter what.

So he finally chose a more compromise solution.

"Boss, how about giving me all the food for two taels of silver?"

"what?"

Looking at the immortal Taoist who appeared out of nowhere.

The boss even began to doubt his own ears.

"Is two ounces not enough?"
