Others are still struggling, but I am just slacking off.

[Damn curiosity will only hurt you. Sometimes the less you know, the longer you live!]

After saying that, Xiao 8 turned around and left, walked to the crack in the ground, and jumped down.

It’s not quite right to call it a crack in the ground. There’s a stone chamber underneath, three meters high and about fifty square meters.

There was just a bed and nothing else.

But it is understandable. If you don’t put the good things in the ring, will they be stolen?

She found nothing special and was about to go up when she noticed a purple bulge at the head of the bed. However, she did not act rashly and decided to wait for Ah Shui and the others to come down.

I looked up at the top of the stone chamber and saw a stone slab about one meter long and one meter wide with a crack between the other stone slabs.

After another careful look, I found nothing unusual, so I returned the same way.

By the time she reached the ground, the merchant and his son had already picked the other half of the medicinal plants.

[Ah Shui, there is a stone chamber below, let’s go down and rest for a while!]

After saying this, Xiao 8 jumped down again.

Qian Yushui nodded and followed Xiao 8.

Qian Yuting and the other two followed closely behind.

Qian Yushui took out a coffee table, seven cushions, some dried fruits and wine, and handed one portion to Xiao 8.

"Xiao 8, come here! Try these and see which flavors you like. Then ask your second brother to get you some more."

"Okay!"

Xiao 8 savors every flavor of the fruit with peace of mind.

Qian Yushui got straight to the point.

"Shang Huan, I'm going to ask you one last time. Will you follow me and protect me for the next 1900 years? No matter life or death, you will never betray me?"

"Between me and the merchant, will you choose me unwaveringly?"

Although Shang Huan didn't know what Qian Yushui meant, he really thought so in his heart.

"Yes! From the moment I signed the contract, I never thought of betraying you, even if it meant going against the merchant."

"And don't worry, my family members all support me, and they won't make things difficult for me."

"Dad, you're right!"

Shang Huan turned his head and looked at his father.

Shang Xingzhou nodded and decided to confess.

"Yes, there were three reasons for making this decision."

"First, Xiao Huan feels very comfortable when he is with you. As a father, I can't help him much. His mother..., so I hope he is happy."

"Second, I believe in my daughter. You also know Meng'er's ability. Sensing a person's good and evil is part of her ability. I asked my daughter what kind of person you are in advance."

"She said, 'You have principles and bottom lines. This is the second reason why I agree. Please forgive me as a father for worrying about my son.'"

"Third, the higher our cultivation level, the more we understand that luck is a very uncertain thing. Your luck is very high, but the principle we have always adhered to is never to go against people with high luck."

"Even if we can't be friends, we will never become enemies with you, not to mention that we have never had any conflict of interest."

"It would be better if we can be friends, because we can benefit from it. But if we can't be friends, we won't lose anything either."

"The most important thing is that I want to try my best. You know, my father-in-law and wife...they need things that we can't find on our own."

"I can't just watch them suffer and die, but you showed up at this time. Even if you are not the son of luck, your luck can still be ranked among the top five in the Sky Continent."

"Just because I can't find something doesn't mean you can't find it. I know this is mean, but I have no other choice but to take a gamble."

"I just want to save my family, even if it means sacrificing my son and using him. I have some calculations in my mind, but my silly son is sincere. If you want to blame someone, blame me!"

Shang Huan stood up and bowed deeply.

Qian Yushui moved aside and did not accept this gift.

She hadn't thought the reason would be this, but she could understand it.

If anything happened to her parents or brother, she would seize every opportunity to save them.

What's more, at least so far, the merchant has not done anything to force her or to disadvantage her, but has saved her life instead.

Her principle is simple: repay kindness with kindness and repay hatred with hatred.

Just look at the results, sometimes the process is not that important.

Of course, the premise of everything is that she is the master.

If she is the executor, sorry, both the process and the results are important.

For example, in those domineering CEO novels, I love you!

The dominant one, just enjoy it. For example, if you want roses, the admirer will do everything he can to give you roses.

But if it was the executor who was tortured physically and mentally only to get a reply like "I've always loved you", then she would definitely make that person get as far away from her as possible.

Who dares to say that he is not a double standard dog?

So for her, as long as the merchant does not harm her, it doesn’t matter. The most fundamental thing between people is the exchange of interests.

But she would not be so foolish as to say it out loud. She just looked at Shang Xingzhou quietly, preventing Shang Xingzhou from seeing through her and making random guesses.

About a minute later, she did not respond to Shang Xingzhou's words.

"Okay, Shang Huan, then you come sit next to me."

Shang Huan didn't hesitate, picked up the futon and walked to the left behind Qian Yushui and sat down.

"Chief Shang, this meeting is to make a deal with you."

"Please sit down!"

"I need you to help me find out all the information about the Lord's Mansion in Donglin Territory. Of course, the reward will definitely satisfy you."

Qian Yushui took out a box, placed it on the coffee table, and pushed it in front of Shang Xingzhou.

Shang Xingzhou did not agree directly. The Hua family was too dangerous and he was not sure whether it was worth it.

He picked up the box in front of him, opened it, and inside was a silver, transparent fruit.

He thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what kind of fruit it was.

"Star Fruit!"

"What kind of fruit is Star Fruit?"

Anyway, I have never heard of Shang Huan. Although he is not super smart, he has a good quality.

If you don’t understand, just ask. You can figure out whether you can remember it or not later.

[Star Fruit, it takes 100,000 years to bloom, 100,000 years to bear fruit, and 100,000 years to mature. A mortal who eats one can directly achieve Daluo Jinxian without any side effects.]

Xiao 8 said calmly.

Being a human being is really tiring.

She is a little sleepy!

Shang Huan shouted out directly: "What!?"

Shang Xingzhou's hands were shaking as he held the box tightly in his hands, but the harder he held, the more the box shook.

Shang Huan grabbed Qian Yushui's clothes and said, "Why are you giving it to him? It's such a valuable thing, you should keep it for yourself! It would be a waste to give it to him."

Qian Yushui thought he had heard wrongly. Wasn’t the person opposite his father?

The corners of Shang Xingzhou's mouth twitched, and he cursed the unfilial son in his heart.

Although he was reluctant, he still closed the box and pushed it back in front of Qian Yushui.

"This is too expensive. Don't worry, I will help you with that matter. You can exchange it for other rewards. You can use this for yourself. Your own strength is the most important thing."

[You old bastard, just take it. You don’t think this thing is that rare, do you? Do you think we can use it? At most, we can eat it as fruit. You don’t think everyone is as poor as you!]

Xiao 8 can't stand this kind of situation where you push it forward and I push it back. Can't you be more straightforward?

Wouldn't it be better to resolve the matter sooner?

I clearly want it, but I still refuse.

I really feel sorry for it. Couldn't you just pay more attention when doing things? It's so hypocritical!
