Xiao Yi listened and spat again, "Second Senior Brother, you must be talking nonsense."
"I don't believe it."
Of course, a normal person wouldn't believe it.
Lu Shaoqing said, "This is the truth, why don't you believe it?"
"My senior brother wouldn't deceive me, but I still don't believe it."
"I don't believe it."
Xiao Yi made a face at Lu Shaoqing.
After a while of gossiping, Xiao Yi's spirits improved a lot, and she regained her appetite.
She saw that the dishes on the table were not much worse than last time.
Xiao Yi asked curiously, "Second Senior Brother, how much does this table cost?"
"It should be about three to four thousand spirit stones."
"Don't worry, the boss said he would give me a fifty percent discount, so it's only one to two thousand. You should be able to afford it, right?"
Xiao Yi cried and suddenly lost her appetite, "Second Senior Brother, I don't have that many spirit stones."
Are you trying to rob the rich here?
Although I come from the Xiao family, I don't have many spirit stones.
Lu Shaoqing said, "It's fine, let's eat first."
Xiao Yi said, "Second Senior Brother, the boss said he would give you a free meal, why don't you take it?"
"That's not like you."
"You said it yourself, a fool is someone who doesn't take a free offer."
Lu Shaoqing sneered, "I have no relation to her, and she suddenly offers me such a big favor, it must be a trick."
"I don't want to get into trouble."
Hmm, that's quite in character for Second Senior Brother.
Afraid of trouble.
Xiao Yi still worried, "Second Senior Brother, but what if we don't have enough spirit stones later?"
"I only have about five hundred spirit stones on me."
Lu Shaoqing said, "Don't worry, I have a plan."
Alright, since Second Senior Brother said so, let's just go with it.
He can't sell me, can he?

Yi put her mind at ease, her appetite returned, and she continued to enjoy the food.
After eating, Lu Shaoqing asked Wang Yao to settle the bill.
After the discount, it came to one thousand nine hundred and thirty low-grade spirit stones.
Lu Shaoqing was surprised, "So much? Are you running a black market?"
Wang Yao was on the verge of tears, "Senior Brother Lu, this is the best price we can offer."
"The boss said he would give you a free meal, but you refused."
You want to act tough and still accuse us of running a black market. How can you be such a person?
Lu Shaoqing glared at him, "Do I look like someone who likes to take free offers?"
"Where is the boss? Let her come over."
Fang Xiao came over.
"Boss, are you running a black market? It's so expensive."
Xiao Yi covered her face, too embarrassed to show it.
Eating and drinking, and then accusing someone of running a black market when you don't have enough money.
Such a senior brother is too embarrassing.
Knowing that Lu Shaoqing didn't have enough money, Fang Xiao waved her hand, "Young Master Lu, you don't need to pay. This meal is on me."
Lu Shaoqing shook his head, "No, absolutely not. How can I let you pay?"
"Junior Sister, how many spirit stones do you have? Give them all to the boss."
Xiao Yi took out five hundred spirit stones and gave them to Wang Yao.
"Second Senior Brother, I don't have any spirit stones left."
Lu Shaoqing said to Fang Xiao, "Boss, as you can see, I don't have any spirit stones either. How about this, let my junior sister work here to pay off the debt?"
"Second Senior Brother"
Xiao Yi was about to cry again.
Second Senior Brother really wants to sell her.
Fang Xiao was taken aback, "Young Master Lu, this"
Let a direct disciple of Lingxiao Sect work for her?
And it's Ji Yan's direct junior sister?
Lu Shaoqing said, "What? Is that not possible?"
Fang Xiao smiled bitterly, "Young Master Lu, there's no need to go to such lengths."
"I said I would pay for this meal."
Lu Shaoqing said righteously, "How can I take your free offer?"
"A disciple of Tianyufeng, if I can't pay, I will work to pay it off."
"Being a decent person, I'm not afraid of losing face."
The three people present fell silent.
You dare to say such things?
Xiao Yi tugged at Lu Shaoqing's clothes, "Second Senior Brother, why don't you work to pay off the debt?"
"You ate the most."
"You ordered the dishes."
Lu Shaoqing showed no mercy, pulling away Xiao Yi's hand, "I am your senior brother. If I work here, Tianyufeng's reputation will be ruined."
Xiao Yi, Fang Xiao, and Wang Yao fell silent again.
Your reputation seems to have already been ruined.
Xiao Yi shouted in her heart, the master should see your current state. The master would definitely expel you from the sect.
Fang Xiao didn't know what to say for a moment. Lu Shaoqing refused to let her pay and insisted that Xiao Yi work here.
What does this guy want?
If she hadn't experienced that night, she would have thought Lu Shaoqing was just being stubborn, preferring to let his junior sister suffer rather than accept her kindness.
She might even have suspected that Lu Shaoqing was lusting after her beauty, trying to attract her attention.
After all, some people have done such things.
But after that night, she knew Lu Shaoqing was not what he seemed.
On Xiao Yi's side, she said, "Second Senior Brother, if you make me work here, I won't be able to practice."
"How will I explain it to Senior Brother Ji?"
Lu Shaoqing said, "Senior Brother Ji entrusted you to me."
Xiao Yi realized, "Senior Brother Ji also gave you one thousand low-grade spirit stones."
Lu Shaoqing said, "That's the teaching fee."
Xiao Yi wrinkled her nose, "Hmph, in two months, if you don't let me practice, how will I understand the sword intent and break through to the Qi Condensation stage?"
Fang Xiao was moved.
She asked Lu Shaoqing, "Young Master Lu, are you really going to make Miss Xiao work here?"
Lu Shaoqing said, "Of course, to teach her a lesson, so she won't be swayed by a pretty face and a free meal in the future."
Xiao Yi didn't know what to say.
How can you say such things so confidently?
Fang Xiao agreed, "Alright, no problem, as long as Miss Xiao is willing, she can work here."
Xiao Yi said, "I, I don't want to."
She is, after all, a proper Xiao family lady. If she works here to pay off the debt, wouldn't she be laughed at?
Lu Shaoqing said, "You don't have a choice, you have to listen to me now."
"I'm going to find the master, find Senior Brother Ji."
Lu Shaoqing said, "Finding the master won't help, and finding Senior Brother Ji, are you sure you can handle his training methods now?"
Xiao Yi fell silent.
Lu Shaoqing said to her, "Work here for a while, it will be a good way to relax and unwind."
"Although you will work here, I have one requirement, you must follow it."
"What requirement?"
Lu Shaoqing said, "You can only work here as an ordinary person."
"Unless you are in mortal danger, you cannot reveal your identity or strength."
"If someone bullies you, write it down and deal with them after you finish working. If you can't handle it, call Senior Brother Ji."
