Qiu Shuang could tell from the tone of Shopkeeper He that Shopkeeper He didn't want her to leave. In fact, if it wasn't for Qiu Yan, before she was fired by Zhi Ling Xuan, Qiu Shuang never thought about resigning. After all, the treatment in Zhi Ling Xuan was still very good compared to ordinary jobs. So after listening to Shopkeeper He's words, Qiu Shuang explained to Shopkeeper He, "Shopkeeper, I wasn't bullied by anyone, but I promised to be the servant of the young man who came yesterday, so I can't stay and continue to work."

Qiu Shuang briefly explained the reason why she wanted to resign. After hearing what Qiu Shuang said, Shopkeeper He's face became serious. He looked at Qiu Shuang and said, "Qiu Shuang, if you really find a good way to leave here, I won't stop you. But you said you want to be that young master's servant, and I can't agree to such a thing."

At this point, Shopkeeper He sighed, and then continued, "Qiu Shuang, although I can probably guess that the young master must have offered you a high salary, but you are a good girl, you can't give up on yourself just because of a single act of anger, you are still very young, and you still have a long way to go! You can completely forget everything and start over! You have always longed to practice and become a strong person, but if you become someone else's servant, maybe you will earn more than you do now, but your heart will change because of this, and all your desires and efforts will come to nothing, and your life will be ruined because of this, do you understand?"

The reason why Shopkeeper He said this was because he didn't know what happened between Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yan. He only knew that in the Holy Sword Kingdom, servants were just toys of their masters, with no status or dignity. In addition, the agreement between Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yan yesterday made Shopkeeper He associate the words servant and plaything together. That's why Shopkeeper He didn't agree to Qiu Shuang leaving, because he really didn't want a good girl like Qiu Shuang to become someone else's plaything.

Qiu Shuang naturally understood what Manager He meant, because Qiu Shuang herself knew what a servant meant. However, although she was Qiu Yan's servant, she was only taking care of Qiu Yan's life, and nothing happened between her and Qiu Yan.

So, after hearing what Shopkeeper He said, Qiu Shuang smiled and explained to Shopkeeper He, "Shopkeeper, I know what you said just now is for my own good, but you think too much. I didn't give up on myself because of what happened yesterday. After all, nothing happened between me and that young master yesterday. We just had a meal together, and then he asked me some knowledge about spiritual tools. I want to be his servant because I want to get more cultivation resources from him, but don't worry, I didn't sell my body and soul. I just simply take care of him, or his sister."

Qiu Shuang's tone was very relaxed when she said this, and her eyes were very sincere. Based on Manager He's ability to judge people over the years, he knew that Qiu Shuang did not lie to him, which meant that Qiu Shuang was telling the truth. But how could such a thing happen?

You know, if you are just an ordinary servant or maid, the salary you can get every month is probably only a few gold coins, which is much less than the salary in Zhilingxuan. So why would Qiu Shuang give up her job in Zhilingxuan and choose to be a servant for someone else? Thinking of this, Shopkeeper He asked Qiu Shuang, "Qiu Shuang, I can see that what you said just now is true, but if you are just an ordinary servant, the salary you can get every month is only a few gold coins, right? Why would you choose to give up your job here for a few gold coins?"

Hearing Manager He's question, Qiu Shuang smiled mysteriously, and then said, "Manager He, as my master's servant, I am not paid monthly but daily. And my daily salary is not paid in gold coins, but in spiritual peaches! I help my master take care of him and his sister, and I can get a spiritual peach every day." Qiu Shuang said, stretching out a finger.

"One spiritual peach a day!" Hearing Qiu Shuang's last words, Shopkeeper He was stunned, because he had never heard that a servant could be paid with a spiritual peach a day. If that was true, he would want to do it. After all, a spiritual peach is worth a thousand gold coins, and generally speaking, it is not easy to buy a spiritual peach. You may not be able to buy it even if you have money without some strength! Therefore, Shopkeeper He did not believe what Qiu Shuang said at this time. After a moment of hesitation, Shopkeeper He asked Qiu Shuang, "Qiu Shuang, there is no such good thing in this world. You were not deceived by that kid!"

Hearing Shopkeeper He calling Qiu Yan that kid, Qiu Shuang couldn't help laughing, then she shook her head and said to Shopkeeper He, "Shopkeeper He, you worry too much. The master is really reliable. He won't lie to me, and I won't be lied to by him. Now he has paid me more than three months' worth of peaches in advance. They are all genuine peaches, so don't worry!"

Hearing Qiu Shuang say this, Shopkeeper He was surprised and didn't know what to say, but he could see that Qiu Shuang's words were true, so although this matter was a little unbelievable, Shopkeeper He didn't doubt it anymore. After thinking about it, Shopkeeper He smiled bitterly and sighed, "I didn't expect that such an incredible thing in the world would happen to you. Maybe this is your chance!"

After saying that, Shopkeeper He let out a long sigh of relief, and then continued, "Since you have met your chance, I will naturally not stop you." As he said that, Shopkeeper He took out a bag of gold coins from a brocade bag on his body and handed it to Qiu Shuang, and then continued, "Take these gold coins, part of them will be your salary, and part of them will be my little token of appreciation!"

Qiu Shuang looked at the bag of gold coins handed over by the shopkeeper, shook her head and said, "Shopkeeper, you have taken good care of me over the past few years. Now I feel embarrassed to suddenly say I want to leave, so I can't take this money."

Hearing Qiu Shuang say this, Shopkeeper He was also relieved. He looked at Qiu Shuang and said, "You are a member of our Zhi Ling Xuan now that you have joined. As the shopkeeper, it is my duty to take care of you. Most of this money is what you deserve. Now that you are leaving, of course I will give it to you." After saying that, Shopkeeper He stuffed the gold coins in his hand into Qiu Shuang's hand, and then continued, "Okay! Since you have a new job now, I won't keep you any longer. You can go back. Just come back often when you have time!"

After listening to what Manager He said, Qiu Shuang looked at the gold coins in her hand again. She did not return the gold coins, but nodded and said, "Thank you, Manager He. I'll leave first. I will come back to see you if I have time!" After Qiu Shuang finished speaking, Manager He smiled and nodded. Seeing this, Qiu Shuang did not say anything more. She bowed deeply to Manager He to show her gratitude and turned and left.

After leaving, Qiu Shuang did not go anywhere else, but went directly to the auction house, ready to do her second thing. It was not very close from Zhilingxuan to the auction house, and she had to cross several streets to get there. When Qiu Shuang walked to a street corner, she suddenly saw two armored guards posting notices on the wall. At first, Qiu Shuang did not think anything of the guards posting notices, because guards often post notices in the city, and it was not a rare thing, so Qiu Shuang did not pay attention to it, but just walked towards the auction house.

At this time, a loud voice rang out beside Qiu Shuang. "Gui Ming Mansion is offering a bounty! A bounty for the great spiritual master Qiu Yan. Anyone who provides clues about him will receive a bounty of 200,000 once confirmed! Anyone who takes his head will receive a bounty of 2 million!"

These words were shouted to the street by one of the guards who posted the notice. As soon as these words were spoken, everyone on the street was attracted by the high reward and gathered around to read it. Only Qiu Shuang stood there in a daze after hearing the content of the notice, and her expression became very nervous.

Qiu Shuang knew that Qiu Yan had beaten the mansion lord's son, and the mansion lord would definitely not let him go. However, what Qiu Shuang did not expect was that the mansion lord actually issued such a high bounty to find Qiu Yan. With such a high bounty, someone would definitely form a hunting team to find Qiu Yan's whereabouts, and then Qiu Yan's situation would become very bad. Thinking of this, Qiu Shuang also turned around and walked towards the bounty order, wanting to confirm the content of the bounty order with her own eyes. When she approached the bounty order and saw the content of the bounty order, Qiu Shuang's heart suddenly brightened, because the bounty order not only had a high bounty of gold coins written on it, but also had a portrait of Qiu Yan, and the portrait was very similar, and anyone who knew Qiu Yan could tell at a glance.

With a high bounty amount and a realistic portrait, basically no one can escape such a bounty. Unless he hides in one place for his entire life, he will definitely be discovered.

Just when Qiu Shuang was worried about Qiu Yan's future situation, a man next to her asked the guard, "Brother! I wonder how Qiu Yan offended Gui Ming Mansion to make Gui Ming Mansion issue such a high bounty?" The man had not heard about what happened in the training ground yesterday, so he asked this question out of curiosity.

Hearing the man's question, one of the guards did not hide anything and directly said to the man, "Yesterday afternoon at the training ground, this man named Qiu Yan severely injured the son of the Guiming Mansion's Hu Mansion Master. If the training ground had not dealt with it in time, he would have died. Although his life was saved, Mr. Hu's beard has forever turned into a monster's face. That's why the Hu Mansion Master was so angry that he issued such a high reward order to avenge his son!"
