That’s wonderful!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Cancan brightened up immediately and quickly pulled the beautiful woman down to sit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu’s mind was still blank—such a busty girl, how could he possibly forget her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet she had called his name with perfect accuracy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?” Yan Xiaohu asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beautiful woman’s face instantly fell with disappointment, her expression sorrowful: “I thought the moment we met, you’d recognize me. But I guess great men have short memories—I was too confident.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu was utterly embarrassed and hurriedly said: “No, I have face blindness. By the way, what’s her name again? A hint might jog my memory.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu quickly turned to Xiao Cancan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Cancan, also curious about their relationship, replied: “Su Wanli.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Wanli?” Yan Xiaohu scratched his head—this name felt utterly foreign; he had zero recollection of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, Zhou Qing casually picked up some melon seeds from the tray and began cracking them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Su Wanli looked every bit a wronged woman—Third Brother’s really something, eat and run, no one remembers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You even brought your little brother along!” Su Wanli turned to Zhou Qing, her eyes flickering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu exclaimed in surprise: “You know my little brother too? Then what’s his name?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhou Qing!” Su Wanli said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Yan Xiaohu swallowed hard—wait, how does she know everything?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Third Brother, introduce us!” Zhou Qing grinned, clearly enjoying the spectacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu ignored Zhou Qing and stared intently at Su Wanli, stammering: “Uh, miss, I really don’t know you—could you give me another hint?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wanli sighed softly, lowered her head, and fell silent, looking heartbroken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Cancan gently patted her back, then said to the two: “I’ve known Sister Wanli for years. Recently, her husband and child were killed by demonic beasts—only she barely escaped.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My husband, my child—” As Xiao Cancan spoke these words, Su Wanli burst into tears, covering her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu racked his brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this, Su Wanli must be a native of Lingyun Prefecture—but he’d never been here before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then how did she know him? Even knew Fourth Brother’s name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell was going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing was equally curious—he’d met so few women in his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the [Daily Appraisal] could only appraise objects, not people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing carefully scrutinized Su Wanli again, searching for any familiar traces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second Sister?” Zhou Qing ventured softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wanli immediately turned to Zhou Qing, blinked, then glared angrily at Yan Xiaohu: “See? Even your little brother recognized me. How could you not? Did you think disguising yourself would fool me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu was stunned: “You’re really Second Sister? But no matter how you disguise yourself, you can’t change your head—and this chest—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SLAP!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Yan Xiaohu finished, Su Wanli stood up and delivered a loud smack to the back of his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s interest. Hand over some money—I need it urgently!” Su Wanli demanded fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu, embarrassed, quickly pulled out a thousand lower-grade spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second Sister, what cultivation technique is this? It’s like a full-body transformation!” Yan Xiaohu rubbed his stinging neck after handing over the money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wanli pocketed the stones and smiled: “Want to learn? I’ll teach you another day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really? Thank you so much, Second Sister!” Yan Xiaohu exclaimed excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Cancan beamed: “So we’re all family! I’m Xiao Cancan—pleased to meet you all. By the way, Sister Wanli, you tricked me so badly! You used to say you were a lone cultivator, but you actually have a sect and little brothers?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That was all in the past,” Su Wanli smiled, looking at Zhou Qing. “Little brother, you’re clever—you recognized me at a glance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhou Qing frowned, studying Su Wanli with suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second Sister’s name was Luo Lingling. She always called them “Three Tiger” and “Little Qing,” never the cold “little brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she adored them—every meeting, she’d pinch their cheeks, saying how “Little Qing” had grown taller or gotten paler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But none of that happened now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shit—I’ve misled Third Brother and lost a thousand lower-grade spirit stones for nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I only called out tentatively—after all, who else but a woman could possibly know me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And you? You just ran with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhou Qing’s cold gaze fixed on her, Su Wanli grew uneasy and quickly changed the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like Little Brother’s stunned! I just remembered something urgent I need to do—eat up, I’ll be back with Cancan soon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Su Wanli grabbed Xiao Cancan and hurried off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu jumped up: “Second Sister, where are you going? Is the money enough? If not, I’ve got more—Old Mo misses you so much…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss? Pfft—that’s not Second Sister!” Seeing them try to escape, Zhou Qing confirmed his suspicion and leapt straight out the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around him, the bustling crowd offered no trace of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That speed was too fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fourth Brother, what do you mean?” Yan Xiaohu quickly followed, asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing looked awkwardly at Third Brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu scanned the crowd, but too many cultivators here—too much vital energy, too much interference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you mean… you’ve been hunting eagles all your life, and today an eagle pecked out your eye?” Yan Xiaohu finally realized, exclaiming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t it obvious enough?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fucking hell!” Yan Xiaohu’s face flushed red with rage—he shot into the air, his immense spiritual sense sweeping endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an insult to his intelligence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that—she slapped him, and he’d happily handed over a thousand spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it—after all these years, no one but Old Mo had ever hit him, and now it’s a woman!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is unbearable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing immediately joined the search.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not a single trace remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shit shit shit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After landing, Yan Xiaohu stomped his feet in fury, trembling all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his decades of life, he’d never suffered such a humiliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing apologized immediately: “I’m sorry, Third Brother…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not your fault—I went through every woman I’ve ever met. I even wondered if Second Sister was playing a trick on us,” Yan Xiaohu spat, cursing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhou Qing suddenly felt something flicker through his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly signaled silence, then fell into deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, Su Wanli’s tone of voice felt strangely familiar—she knew Third Brother intimately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after slapping him, she called it “interest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What interest?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she knew him—but acted like a stranger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Zhou Qing realized—he turned to Third Brother and shouted: “It’s her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who?” Yan Xiaohu asked urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing said: “The ghost girl from Qingmu City.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Shitao?” Yan Xiaohu paused, then instantly recognized it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking back—yes, it was her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That gaze, that tone—no one else could be so familiar to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She succeeded in possession?” Zhou Qing exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu frowned: “It seems so.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time they met was in the Ghost City, when they were surrounded by Blood Tai Sui—she was the one who led them to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after Mo Xingjian exposed himself to fight Tai Sui and Cangyan Dao Palace alone, she fled immediately and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This bitch has a grudge longer than a river—how the hell did she get to Lingyun Prefecture? What happened along the way?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu kept rubbing his neck, muttering to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing shook his head—he had no way of knowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister Wanli, what happened?” As the two hid behind a corner, Xiao Cancan panted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shitao peeked around, confirmed Yan Xiaohu hadn’t followed, then exhaled deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t expected to meet them here after their parting in the Ghost City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking back, it felt like a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Yan Xiaohu had used some technique to sever the arm of a Nascent Soul-level yin spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That kind of creature was perfect nourishment for her—she’d risked everything to snatch it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What happened after that needn’t be said—after escaping the Ghost City, she’d wandered aimlessly, wherever the wind took her, living purely by whim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dazed and numb, she didn’t know how long had passed before she saw a married couple fighting a bear-like beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked furious; only upon closer inspection did she notice a teenage boy’s corpse lying on the ground, long dead, a massive bloodied hole gaped in his abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, she seemed to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the bear beast fled with its mangled body, the man was crushed to death on the spot, and the woman was on her deathbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She drifted forward, intending to examine closely; upon spotting her, the woman voluntarily offered herself for possession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In exchange, she begged that the three of them be buried together, not left exposed to the wilds to be devoured by beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She naturally welcomed this—after all, the woman was a Jin Dan cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, she became Su Wanli and regained her own body once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After erecting a memorial tomb, she returned to Lingyun Mansion and began her new life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Likewise, the absorbed memories allowed her to seamlessly integrate into this new environment, and she even made many new friends, such as the one before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Xiao Cancan’s inquiry, Li Shitao calmed her breath and said, “Nothing’s wrong—just fooling around. Today, I’ve got money; I’ll treat you to something delicious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wanli-jie, you’re worrying me. We’ve known each other for years. I know you’re heartbroken over what happened to your husband and Ke-di, but you pretend to be happy. I know this is the sign of unbearable grief.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why not find a quiet place and cry it all out? You’ll feel better after.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Cancan said, her face filled with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shitao felt both touched and amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m truly happy—you want me to cry, but how can I force tears?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On another level, assuming another’s appearance is to continue their life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had once been a flesh-and-blood person herself; after experiencing death, she understood this deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry—I’m truly fine. Right now, I just want to spend money. Are you coming with me?” Li Shitao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Cancan naturally agreed; she’d only just learned of the massive upheaval in Wanli-jie’s family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she’d specifically arranged to take Wanli-jie out for a walk, and had even gone to great lengths to sneak out of her home again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unluckily, her father’s household guards spotted her and chased her all the way into that tavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course I’ll come! Let’s go—I know a place. Today, little sister will bask in your glory!” Xiao Cancan grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shitao said, “That’s more like it—but it’s not my glory. It’s the glory of my old acquaintance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Won’t that be inappropriate?” Xiao Cancan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shitao waved her hand. “No problem—he’s rich. He chased me once; now he owes me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He chased you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I chased him too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, looks like you two were enemies before you became friends.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Something like that. By the way, Cancan, I want to say a final goodbye to the past. From now on, I won’t be Su Wanli anymore—I’m Li Shitao. You can call me Tao-jie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. As long as it makes you feel better, Tao-jie, let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My little husband, aren’t you going to hold my hand?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, my little wife, I’m coming!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, amid the envious glances of onlookers, the two stepped into the crowd and walked toward a certain direction…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yan Xiao’s sour expression, Qian Dafu asked in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing smiled and said it was nothing—probably because he hadn’t found the herbs for the Nascent Soul Pill today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like my luck’s better—I have an old friend who just happens to have a Lingpo Zhi. I asked him to save it for me; tomorrow I’ll take you to get it!” Qian Dafu chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two instantly grew excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Shopkeeper!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to thank me—have you eaten? Come have a drink with me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Absolutely!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes fate is truly mysterious. Earlier, they’d desperately hunted for Nascent Soul Pill ingredients—and couldn’t find a single one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, having let go and gone with the flow, they’d acquired several in quick succession—seven medicinal herbs in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the auction was drawing nearer, and the number of people arriving in Lingyun Mansion visibly swelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two strolled, several servants suddenly blocked their path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From behind them emerged a round-faced, rosy-cheeked, slightly overweight young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore luxurious brocade robes, vividly colored, golden threads gleaming in the sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His small eyes were squeezed into slits by his fat, yet darted constantly, as if calculating something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his hand, he idly turned a jade pendant, gazing at them with arrogance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you want?” Yan Xiao stepped forward, shielding Zhou Qing behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fat youth said nothing; instead, a Jin Dan servant unrolled a portrait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you seen her?” the servant asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two stared—and froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t this Xiao Cancan, the girl they’d met twice before?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You know her?” Yan Xiao asked quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yan Xiao’s eagerness, the fat youth sneered coldly, his face darkening. “She’s my fiancée. Someone saw you eating at the same table as her. I advise you—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your fiancée? Fuck you—give me back my money—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the youth finished, Yan Xiao lunged, grabbing his collar with a snarl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I lost a thousand spirit stones to her. Since you’re her fiancé, you might as well pay me back—no need for me to hunt her down!” Yan Xiao growled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other servants finally reacted, surrounding them at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let go of our Young Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth was startled by Yan Xiao’s sudden move—but then grinned, seemingly delighted. “So you two aren’t close? I knew it—our eyes look alike. If she doesn’t like me, how could she like you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao froze, his face darkening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you mean our eyes look alike? Mine are naturally small and single-lidded. Yours are just squashed by fat. Don’t try to buddy up—give me back my money!” Yan Xiao snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth smiled cheerfully. “Paying you back? No problem for me. But you must sign a receipt—I need to show it to her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao eyed him suspiciously, hesitated briefly, then slowly released his grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servants immediately surrounded the youth, glaring threateningly at the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Move aside, it’s fine!” The youth pushed past the guards and patted one servant’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servant bent low; the youth pulled out a sheet of paper and began writing on the servant’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing quietly tugged Yan Xiao’s sleeve and whispered, “This fat kid’s family is clearly wealthy—every servant is Jin Dan. Even the ones who chased Xiao Cancan before were Jin Dan. Shouldn’t we—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing trailed off; Yan Xiao understood his concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Relax. I’m only taking back what’s ours. No further dealings.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao gave Zhou Qing a reassuring glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the youth finished writing and grinned. “Don’t take offense—thousand mid-grade spirit stones are a lot, and since I’m paying on someone else’s behalf, I need a receipt for safety. Take a look—if it’s fine, sign and press your thumbprint.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth handed over the receipt and pulled out red ink with practiced ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two stared blankly, then read the paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy shit—I said a thousand spirit stones, not mid-grade! Are you this rich?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thousand mid-grade spirit stones, they could buy the Nascent Soul Pill at the auction blindfolded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And you’re so careless?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re cultivators, not mortals—do we really need signatures and thumbprints?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could just scribble a fake name—how would you find me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, both were tempted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then they exchanged glances—and knew their decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This windfall must not be taken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention Zhou Qing—Yan Xiao had never once embezzled a single spirit stone when claiming expenses from his Sect Master. He was always precise, honest. And once they returned to the sect, they’d be rich anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why sell their conscience for this money?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everything’s correct except the amount—it’s not a thousand mid-grade, it’s a thousand low-grade!” Yan Xiao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wanbao, who had just been imagining a legitimate excuse to approach Xiao Cancan, stared at them in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Low-grade? Not mid-grade?” Zhang Wanbao asked again, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both nodded firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Think carefully—there’s a huge difference. If you don’t say anything, I could still give you mid-grade,” Zhang Wanbao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao snorted. “What do you take us for? Just hand it over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look, look! In all these years, I’ve met countless people—but I’ve never seen anyone as virtuous as you two. You’re a breath of fresh air! I, Zhang Wanbao, accept you as brothers! May I ask your names?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wanbao stepped forward eagerly, bowing respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao said, “Names are just labels. Just pay me back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, since you two won’t reveal your names, I won’t press. I’m Zhang Wanbao. My father, Zhang Yifu, is the sole chairman of the Wanxiang Auction House in Lingyun Mansion. If you ever need help, just come to the auction house and name me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wanbao said with a look of pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu stared in disbelief at the fat man before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What, is this auction house yours? No wonder you’re so rich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here, this is a thousand low-grade spirit stones, but you still need to press your fingerprints,” Zhang Wanbao wrote out another receipt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving the money, Yan Xiaohu pressed his fingerprint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright then, let’s meet again if fate allows!” Zhang Wanbao took the receipt and grinned happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu looked at his pudgy figure, and recalling the words he’d spoken earlier—about Xiao Cancan looking down on him—suddenly sensed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint smile curled his lips. As the man turned to leave, Yan Xiaohu suddenly wrapped an arm around Zhou Qing and drawled, “The girl pretending to be a man—Xiao Cancan, right? Maybe she looks down on me, but she might not look down on someone else.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wanbao froze, then immediately turned to Zhou Qing’s pale, clean-faced visage, his pupils contracting sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy really does look better-looking than both of us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it’s you—seize them!” Zhang Wanbao shouted at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside a luxurious tavern, Zhang Wanbao sat to the side, his face filled with gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s how it was—a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding! You treat her to a meal, and I, Zhang Wanbao, will repay you a hundredfold, a thousandfold! This tavern, and the dozen or so buildings outside, all belong to my family—order whatever you like, eat your fill!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wanbao spoke with grand generosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two exchanged silent whistles—they’d truly stumbled upon a top-tier rich heir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wonder how much ransom we could get from your father if we kidnapped you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We might as well call it meeting under better terms—I won’t be polite then!” Yan Xiaohu chuckled and began ordering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3098,"2026-06-19T20:13:53.139Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","bc2960dec45ac1f0253df442fbfe282efd547d8a58adfc6b55bddaea85d01130","my-master-s-elder-brother-just-took-on-a-female--chapter-104","my-master-s-elder-brother-just-took-on-a-female--chapter-102",302,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-master-s-elder-brother-just-took-on-a-female--cover.jpg"]
