I want to go back to my original world and live an ordinary life.

Jin Ling'er naturally couldn't tell what Qiu Yan was thinking. Seeing Qiu Yan nodded in agreement, Jin Ling'er directly put her arm around Qiu Yan's, then smiled and said to Qiu Yan, "Then it's settled. From now on, we are good sisters!"

It was the first time that Qiu Yan had a girl holding his arm since he was a child. It felt a bit strange. He was not used to it, but Qiu Yan couldn't refuse. Although Jin Ling'er didn't have a good figure, she held his arm tightly, so Qiu Yan could still clearly feel the softness coming from his arm.

Although Qiu Yan always said that he was not interested in women, he was also a normal man. He could only keep himself out of trouble and not take the initiative to provoke women. But it was too much to expect him to remain calm when a woman offered her something. He couldn't do it. So, after feeling the softness coming from his arm, Qiu Yan was a little unsteady for a while, and his mind became a little blank. He didn't care what Jin Ling'er said just now, but just nodded his head with a silly smile, looking like he was enjoying it but didn't dare to enjoy it.

Jin Ling'er didn't know that Qiu Yan was a man. Now she only regarded Qiu Yan as her good sister and didn't care too much about Qiu Yan's performance.

So, ignoring this point, Jin Ling'er said to Qiu Yan again, "It's getting late, and I see you don't have anywhere good to go. Why don't you stay at my house for a night?" Jin Ling'er said as she shielded her eyes with her hands and looked at the setting sun.

After hearing what Jin Ling'er said, Qiu Yan felt as if he had been doused with cold water. His mind suddenly became clear, and he quickly shook his head and said to Jin Ling'er, "No, I have something else to do tonight. I'll just stay at the inn."

The reason why Qiu Yan rejected Jin Ling'er's invitation was entirely because Qiu Yan didn't want to get too close to others. Firstly, he was afraid that his identity as a man dressed as a woman would be exposed. Secondly, the only thing he wanted to do now was to practice. He didn't want to waste any time on socializing. He just wanted to practice quietly alone.

Hearing Qiu Yan reject her proposal, Jin Ling'er was a little puzzled. She looked at Qiu Yan curiously and asked, "What else can you do at night? You are not a thief?"

"I..." Qiu Yan started, and after thinking for a while, he replied to Jin Ling'er, "I have to practice at night, and I also need to ask someone about the difficulty of the tests in each mansion, so that I can choose some mansions that are easier to pass for the test."

Qiu Yan did not say his true thoughts, but what he said was not made up, and he really wanted to do this next.

After listening to Qiu Yan's reasons, Jin Ling'er smiled, and then said in a cheerful tone, "I thought it was something else, it turns out it's just these things!" After that, Jin Ling'er patted her chest, and then continued to say to Qiu Yan, "My house is very big, if you want to practice at night, no one will disturb you, and I know the situation of the tests in various houses better than anyone else, just come to me directly!"

After listening to Jin Ling'er's words, Qiu Yan looked at Jin Ling'er with some suspicion. Qiu Yan didn't care much about what Jin Ling'er said that no one would disturb him from practicing. Qiu Yan was concerned about whether Jin Ling'er really knew the test results of each palace, so he confirmed with Jin Ling'er, "Do you really know the test results of each palace?"

"Of course!" Seeing that Qiu Yan didn't quite believe it, Jin Ling'er replied in a positive tone, and then continued, "After all, I have traveled half of the Holy Sword Kingdom. I don't know everything about the conditions of the training grounds in various places, but I know most of them. No one knows better than me which training grounds have simpler and easier tests."

Hearing Jin Ling'er's certainty, Qiu Yan suddenly became interested. He quickly took out the map from the space jade, handed it to Jin Ling'er and said, "Can you help mark some training grounds with easier tests now? I want to set out for the qualification certification early tomorrow morning!"

Needless to say, every practitioner knows the reason why Qiu Yan wants to go for qualification certification, and Jin Ling'er is no exception.

However, although she knew what Qiu Yan was thinking, since this matter was not her business, and she could not participate in the Tiansai like Qiu Yan, she did not seem to care much about these things, and she did not have the same urgency as Qiu Yan. She just glanced at the map Qiu Yan took out and said, "Don't worry, you come back with me first, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some good food and wine, and then I'll help you mark it after we have eaten and drunk enough, what do you think?"

"But..." Qiu Yan really didn't want to go back with Jin Ling'er, but just as she opened her mouth to refuse, she was interrupted by Jin Ling'er and said, "Don't say buts, it's settled. We sisters just met today, so we must have a good drink together!"

After saying that, regardless of whether Qiu Yan was happy or not, she directly dragged Qiu Yan towards her home. Qiu Yan was extremely unwilling in his heart, but he couldn't say what he was thinking, so he could only be dragged away by Jin Ling'er helplessly, and finally he was forced to compromise!

After compromising, Qiu Yan was no longer held back by Jin Ling'er, but followed Jin Ling'er obediently, thinking about finishing these troubles quickly, then getting the mark to start practicing, and leaving here directly the next day.

Qiu Yan's idea was simple and beautiful, but as he followed Jin Ling'er, he found that things were not as simple as he thought, because he didn't know when Jin Ling'er took him to a bustling street, and Jin Ling'er didn't seem to want to go back after arriving at this street. Qiu Yan felt that this was not okay. If he let her go on like this, when would it end?

Thinking of this, Qiu Yan was about to remind Jin Ling'er to take him back quickly. But before Qiu Yan could say anything, he saw Jin Ling'er stop in front of a stall, picked up a silver hairpin on the stall and asked the stall owner, "How much is this?"

Qiuyan was about to urge Jin Ling'er to go back when Jin Ling'er asked about the price, which made Qiuyan silent instantly. Qiuyan's emotional intelligence was not high, but at this time he was very tactful and did not urge Jin Ling'er, because in the past, when his sister was buying things, as long as he urged her to go back, her sister would always first say something to him steadily, and then become unhappy on the grounds that her mood was affected, and finally ask him for some mood loss compensation. So after some painful lessons, Qiuyan has learned his lesson now, and never urge women to hurry up or go back when they are buying things. If he wants to urge them, he has to wait until they have finished shopping. So when he saw Jin Ling'er asking about the price, Qiuyan had to stand by and watch, quietly waiting for Jin Ling'er to finish shopping and then mention going back.

The owner of the stall was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his 50s or 60s. When he saw Jin Ling'er asking for the price, he smiled and held up five fingers to Jin Ling'er and said, "Five silver coins for this!"

"Five silver coins! This is too expensive! Three silver coins or what?" Jin Ling'er said, holding up three fingers to respond to the stall owner. When the stall owner heard that Jin Ling'er had cut the price to three silver coins, he looked a little embarrassed and said, "Girl, five silver coins is already the lowest price. Look at the workmanship and material, it must be more than three silver coins, right?"

"Just three, will you sell them?" Jin Ling'er obviously didn't listen to the stall owner, and didn't want to say anything more to him. After saying this in a firm tone, she looked at the stall owner, as if waiting for his answer. She looked as if she would turn around and leave as long as the stall owner said no.

When the stall owner heard Jin Ling'er's words, his embarrassment became even more serious. The stall owner still had money to earn from the three silver coins, but he just earned less, so he was hesitating whether to sell it. At this time, Jin Ling'er looked at the stall owner's hesitant expression and asked hurriedly, "What do you think? Sell it or not?"

After hearing Jin Ling'er's urging, the stall owner gritted his teeth and said, "Sell!" as if he had made up his mind.

When she heard the stall owner say "sell", Jin Ling'er showed a proud smile on her face. Then she took out three silver coins and handed them to the stall owner without any nonsense. After the stall owner took the silver coins, Jin Ling'er put the silver hairpin on her head, and then turned to Qiu Yan next to her and asked, "How is it? Does it look good?"

Qiu Yan was speechless for a moment when she heard this question, thinking how come all these women are the same. They chose something themselves but still have to ask others if it looks good. Don’t they know if it looks good or not? Besides, if you ask them like this, can they say it doesn’t look good?

Isn't this a clear way to get compliments on your beauty? Although Jin Ling'er is indeed pretty, it's normal to get compliments, but since you are so pretty, isn't it the same whether you wear a hairpin or not? Why do you have to spend that much money to buy a hairpin and wear it on your head? Isn't this just a waste of time?

Although Qiu Yan thought so in her heart, she didn't dare to show it on her face. She just smiled and nodded at Jin Ling'er and said, "It looks good!" But to be honest, Qiu Yan really didn't think it looked good in her heart, but objectively speaking, this hairpin was not ugly. It's just that Qiu Yan felt that whether a hairpin looks good depends on who wears it. People who are good-looking will look good with or without a hairpin, while people like Qiu Yan who are not so good-looking will still look bad even if they wear a gold hairpin.

Of course, this is just an analogy, and it does not mean that gold hairpins are more beautiful than silver hairpins. Therefore, for a beautiful person like Jin Ling'er, she will look equally beautiful with or without a hairpin, and it has nothing to do with the hairpin itself.
