Xu Lin was born and raised in Luoyang City. Her father was a famous businessman in Luoyang City. Therefore, she lived a wealthy life since childhood and was a "good friend" of Sun Siyun.

From the beginning to the end, she firmly believed that the title of Oiran must belong to Sun Siyun, and she would definitely be the second place. In the end, not only did Su Qiaoqiao and Yao Siyan intervene, but the first place was snatched away by Luo Yiyi who appeared out of nowhere. She was naturally indignant and at the same time felt sorry for her friend.

When Luo Yiyi was holding the donation box for donations, she already had an idea in her mind. When Luo Yiyi stood in front of her, she curled up the corners of her mouth and revealed a faint sarcastic smile.

"I'm sorry, I usually only bring servants with me when I go out, and never bring money, so I'm penniless now, but I pray from the bottom of my heart for those affected by the disaster, and hope they can get through the difficulties as soon as possible."

No one spoke around. Some were waiting to see what Luo Yiyi would do, while others were waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

Luo Yiyi was silent for a moment, then curiously leaned closer to the other party and asked softly.

"Miss Xu, is your family very poor?"

Although the voice was soft, everyone knew that half of the people present were practitioners, and they could hear it clearly with their sharp ears and eyes.

Noticing the strange looks coming from all directions, Xu Lin suddenly felt ashamed. He glared at Luo Yiyi in anger and deliberately spoke loudly to hide his embarrassment.

"Nonsense! My Xu family is a business family. Most of the trade in Luoyang City is done by my Xu family. Why do you want to deliberately belittle us?"

Sun Siyun, who was sitting next to her, interrupted and said, "Miss Luo, you don't know that the Xu family is very wealthy. Not only has it supported the construction of Luoyang City, but Master Xu has also often helped people in all directions from natural disasters and man-made disasters, and provided porridge and food. He is the greatest philanthropist in our Luoyang City."

"So, Miss Xu's family is very rich, so Miss Xu should be rich too?"

Luo Yiyi nodded and handed the merit box in her hand forward. The meaning was self-evident.

Xu Lin leaned back and looked at the donation box with a flash of disgust in her eyes.

"Miss Luo, didn't you hear what I just said? Although my Xu family is rich, I don't have a penny at this moment. If you insist, why don't you come to my house another day to ask for it, and then I will give you the silver?"

These words were already very impolite, and everyone could hear that they implicitly demoted Luo Yiyi to a beggar, containing deep sarcasm and insult.

Sun Siyun frowned and gently reprimanded: "Linlin, you must not be rude to guests! Miss Luo just doesn't know the rules. She is born into a noble family and it is inevitable that she will ignore the etiquette of us mortals. You should not ridicule her for this."

Xu Lin glanced at Sun Siyun with tacit understanding, and deliberately made an apologetic expression and nodded slightly to Luo Yiyi.

"I'm so sorry, Miss Luo. I didn't mean to ridicule you, but my words were a little harsh because I was being realistic. I'm sure Miss Luo is very generous and won't argue with me, right?"

Luo Yiyi tilted her head and asked in confusion: "So you are mocking me? Then why shouldn't I argue with you? What is a generous man? Can I eat it?"

Xu Lin's expression froze. In anger, he wondered if she was pretending to be stupid or was really stupid. Considering that she was a sect disciple, he couldn't help but suspect that she might really be out of touch with the world?

Sun Siyun on the side reacted very quickly, and asked in a soft voice.

"It's only natural that Miss Luo is unhappy about being ridiculed. So how is Miss Luo going to deal with Linlin?"

"Boom!"

Luo Yiyi threw the merit box in her arms on the table, lowered her head, rummaged through the storage bag for a while, took out a feather pen with bright blue-green feathers, and then took out a piece of blank rice paper that had been cut completely.

Putting the blank rice paper on the merit box, Luo Yiyi bent her head and picked up the pen to write on the rice paper. After writing for a while, she stopped and looked up at Xu Lin, who was staring at her series of actions in a daze.

"Miss Xu, how much silver do you plan to raise?"

Xu Lin subconsciously retorted: "I said I didn't bring any silver!"

Luo Yiyi waved her feathers and said, "Not now, but when I go to your house later, how much silver are you going to donate?"

Xu Lin was stunned for a moment and then turned to look at Sun Siyun, but the other party didn't know what Luo Yiyi was up to, so he gave her a puzzled look.

Turning around and meeting Luo Yiyi's sparkling eyes, she opened her mouth for a long while and had to spit out an amount of money.

"Five, five thousand taels..."

Luo Yiyi's eyes suddenly lit up as if they were glowing. She quickly lowered her head and continued writing a few strokes. Then she turned the rice paper 180 degrees, facing the content on it towards Xu Lin, and then handed the feather pen to her, motioning her to take it.

Xu Lin took the feather pen inexplicably, and due to his height, he had to stand up to see the contents on the rice paper clearly.

"I am indebted to Xu Lin, the daughter of the Xu family in Luoyang City. I did not bring any silver with me and could not make a donation. Therefore, I owe Luo Yiyi, a disciple of Tianyan Sect, 5,000 taels of silver. If I am unable to repay, her family will repay the entire amount. This IOU is hereby written as a proof. Debtor: Luo Yiyi."

After listening to her finish reading, Luo Yiyi considerately stretched out her finger and tapped the empty column after the debtor.

"You need to sign here, so that I can use this IOU to collect the debt from you later!"

Xu Lin's hand holding the feather pen trembled slightly, and she looked up at Luo Yiyi in disbelief.

"Why should I sign this IOU?"

"Did you just say that you wanted to donate 5,000 taels?"

"I……"

Xu Lin was indeed speaking casually, thinking that after tonight, she would have nothing to do with the other party anymore. At most, when the other party came to the Xu residence to find her, she could just lie and say she was not there and avoid meeting him.

She originally wanted to humiliate Luo Yiyi by doing this, mocking her for being no different from a beggar. But she never expected that the other party would actually take out an IOU, which instantly transformed her from a beggar into a creditor, and she had all the initiative in her hands.

Seeing that she was uneasy and hesitant, Luo Yiyi stretched out two fingers and pressed on the top of the rice paper, as if to pull the IOU back.

"Well, since you are just talking nonsense, I won't take it seriously. But Miss Xu, you must be careful in the future. Your father's good reputation is earned by doing good deeds, not just talking nonsense. If you make fun of the victims like this, I'm afraid your father's reputation will be ruined!"

Xu Lin quickly controlled the slowly twitching rice paper, with obvious panic on his face.

"No! I didn't just say that I donated 5,000 taels!"

"Then sign and seal it!"

Luo Yiyi pushed hard and pushed the signature place to Xu Lin's sight.

Xu Lin clenched the feather pen, took a deep breath, and resolutely signed his name behind "debtor".

When she stopped writing, a small box of vermilion ink appeared next to her. When she looked up, Luo Yiyi's smile was imprinted in her eyes, which looked awkward no matter how she looked at it.

Throwing away the feather pen, Xu Lin reluctantly stretched out his right thumb, pressed it into the ink pad, and then pressed it hard on his own name.

Then, before she could complain, a thin stream of water brushed over her dirty thumb, sweeping away the remaining ink, and in the blink of an eye her thumb was as clean as new.

Twisting her wet fingertips, Xu Lin looked up and saw Luo Yiyi contentedly putting the IOU back into her storage bag.

Her smug look made Xu Lin regret it for a moment.
