Can have bad intentions

At the foot of the majestic sacred mountain, a spiritual beast vehicle shining with mysterious light stopped in front of the door. A trace of imperceptible surprise flashed across the dean's eyes.

"Excuse me, sir, what brings you here?" The dean looked away and asked with a smile on his face.

"Hello, Dean. My name is Cao Ze."

"I came here today because I have something to ask the dean. Can we talk while we walk?"

The dean readily agreed without hesitation and led Cao Ze forward, talking casually about this orphanage that was surrounded by spiritual veins and filled with spiritual energy.

Cao Ze became more and more interested, and followed the dean to appreciate the beauty of the mountains and rivers here.

"Mr. Cao, I have taken you to visit the orphanage. If you have any purpose, just tell me directly!" Finally, the dean led Cao Ze into the office.

Cao Ze looked calm and said calmly: "I want to provide assistance to the orphanage, but I have a small request."

“What’s the point of asking? Please explain clearly.” The dean asked curiously.

“If you want the children to cooperate with you in taking photos to highlight your charitable act, we cannot accept it.” The dean was firm in his attitude and would rather give up the aid than let the children become propaganda tools.

The dean's determination showed his selfless love. Cao Ze smiled when he heard this.

"Mr. Cao, do you think this is funny?" The dean's expression turned serious.

"I don't want them to be talked about at such a young age. They are children who have been blessed. You may be praised by most people for taking photos and donating, but have you ever thought about what kind of public opinion the children will face?"

Cao Ze did not respond immediately to the dean's questioning. After she finished speaking, he chuckled and said, "I don't know the full story, so I won't comment."

"Dean, I haven't even mentioned my request yet, how come you have already made a judgment on me?"

Cao Ze secretly found it funny that the dean was too sensitive. He casually picked up a chair and sat down calmly.

"I'm here to donate for free. There's nothing wrong with this small request, right? However, you seem to be wary of me, so I can't help but wonder if it's wise to help your hospital."

Hearing this, the dean's face darkened, his brows furrowed, and he remained silent for a long time.

"Dean, to be honest, my request is very simple. I just need to find one person and take a few photos. Please rest assured that these photos will not be circulated. I am just entrusted by someone to find her brother."

Seeing the dean's guilty expression, Cao Ze did not make things difficult and stated his request straightforwardly.

"That's feasible." Hearing the dean's reply, Cao Ze shrugged lightly.

"This spiritual stone check is my modest contribution to the orphanage. Although it is not much, it is enough to maintain its operation for a period of time."

Cao Ze said this calmly, but unexpectedly the dean suddenly bowed deeply to him.

"Thank you, Mr. Cao! I was too sceptical. On behalf of all the staff of the orphanage, thank you for your generosity!"

The dean looked solemn and spoke sincerely.

"You don't have to be so polite, Dean." Cao Ze smiled and waved, not minding the previous misunderstanding. "Can you take me to see Xiao Ming now?"

Smiling as usual, Cao Ze had already let go of his previous unhappiness.

"Are you looking for Xiao Ming?" Hearing the name, the dean stopped and looked at Cao Ze in confusion.

"Yes, is there any problem?" Cao Ze asked in confusion.

"Xiao Ming, he is a little special." The dean bit his lip and told the truth about Xiao Ming's condition.

Cao Ze nodded after hearing this. He knew that Xiao Ming's mental state was not normal. To be more precise, he had a spiritual disorder.

But it doesn't matter, he just promised Andy to help her find her brother.

"I'm here on behalf of my friend, Dean, please take me there. I will tell my friend the details truthfully." Seeing Cao Ze's insistence, the dean did not refuse.

She led Cao Ze to the foot of the mountain where Xiao Ming often stayed.

"He is the Xiao Ming you are looking for. This child is usually taciturn and always likes to be alone."

The dean introduced Xiao Ming's basic condition. Cao Ze took out a brainwave and took a few photos. After sorting out what the dean said, he sent it to Andy in the form of a mental message.

At this moment, Qiao Jingjing, who had decided to purchase the copyright of Zhong Xiaoqin's novel, was calling her agent Sister Ling.

“Sister Ling, I’ll leave this matter to you! Also, please come and visit my studio after it’s decorated!” Qiao Jingjing and Sister Ling have been partners for many years and have a perfect understanding with each other.

After receiving Xinghui's message, Yueling responded quickly.

She followed the spiritual message given by the mysterious network and conveyed her thoughts to Yueying.

Yueying, who was working at a psychic enterprise, couldn't help but feel excited when she heard that someone was willing to buy the copyright of her novel about another world at a high price.

The eyes of colleagues around her were all focused on her. Yueying stood up with a smile and walked quickly out of the office area.

"Miss Yueying, we are willing to pay the copyright fee with one million spirit stones."

"I want to buy all the rights to your novel. What do you think of it?"

Yueling is straightforward and sharp in her words.

"A million spirit stones?"

“Before or after tax?”

Yueying's question surprised Yueling, she didn't expect her to be so thoughtful.

"Of course it is calculated based on one million spirit stones before tax."

"As a new writer, it is a rare opportunity for your first work to be sold at such a high price..."

Yueling spoke eloquently and patiently.

"Then I need to think about it again."

Yueying was not overwhelmed by joy. To be cautious, she decided to consult Cao Ze's opinion later.

"Miss Yueying, when can you give me an answer?"

The sound coming from the spiritual weapon interrupted her thoughts.

"Well, tonight."

Yueying replied after thinking for a while.

"Okay, I look forward to hearing from Miss Yueying."

After hanging up the phone, Yueying spun around excitedly. Although a million spirit stones were just a drop in the ocean in the Divine Capital and couldn't even buy a spiritual residence, she felt it was of great significance!

After a while, Yueying calmed down, washed her face with crystal spirit liquid, and dialed Cao Ze's spiritual message.

"Hello, Cao Ze, I'm Yueying."

"Are you free now? I want your advice on something."

Cao Ze, who was driving the hearse on the road, heard Yueying's excitement and felt confused.

"Sister Yueying, I'm available anytime, just tell me!"

He activated the hearse's voice communications.

"I received a message today."

Yueying's tone was full of excitement.

"The other party wants to buy the copyright of my novel and offers a million spirit stones."

"You tell me, should I sell it?"

After saying this, Yueying looked forward to Cao Ze's response.

"Only one million spirit stones?"

Cao Ze raised his eyebrows. Based on his understanding of the market, the copyright value of Yueying's works far exceeded this figure.

"Yes, although it's not much, it is my first masterpiece after all."

“They also highlighted that I was a new author.”

“So I plan to sell the copyright if it’s not suitable.”

Yueying spoke carefully, paying attention to Cao Ze's reaction.

There was a brief silence on the other end of the communication.

"Sister Yueying, the copyright of your novel should be worth more than a million spirit stones."

"You can continue to negotiate. It will be no problem to at least increase it to more than three million spirit stones."

Cao Ze made the suggestion calmly.

Yueying on the other end of the phone was stunned, with a hint of disbelief in her eyes.

Is the copyright of a novel really so precious?

After hanging up the phone, Yueying was still trying to calm down.

If she could raise the price as Cao Ze said, wouldn't she be a small wealthy woman?

This made her heart, which had just calmed down, boil again.

Cao Ze arrived at the company, handled his business, and then drove the hearse to the spiritual restaurant where he had agreed to meet Xinghui.

"Sister Xinghui, good evening!"

"Your outfit today is as dazzling as always. I can hardly take my eyes off you!"

Cao Ze smiled brightly and pulled out the chair next to Xinghui.

"Xiao Ze, your mouth has become even sweeter!"

Xinghui blinked and moved closer to him deliberately.

"Tell me, what are you going to do at the Lingtongyuan?"

"Could it be that he has too much money and has nowhere to spend it, so he is using it to support the Lingtongyuan?"

Xinghui raised the corner of his mouth and teased jokingly.

"Sister Xinghui, did you place a soul-detecting device on me?"

Cao Ze frowned and asked seriously.

"Who said that? I'm not that boring!"

"Don't accuse me, or watch out for your fists!"

Xinghui immediately retorted that what he hated most was being misunderstood.

"Well, please ask Sister Xinghui."

"How do you know my whereabouts so well?"

"Either it's a spirit detector, or it's a spirit bug in my stomach!"

Cao Ze frowned and spoke in a serious tone.

Seeing his expression, Xinghui burst out laughing.

"Stop talking so much!"

She coughed a few times and regained her seriousness.

"I want to tell you something serious. I want to buy the novel."

"I originally agreed to sell it for a million spirit stones, but later I changed my mind..."

Before Xinghui finished speaking, Cao Ze was suddenly startled.

"Sister Xinghui, do you want to buy Sister Yueying's copyright?"

Listening to Qiao Jingjing's words, Cao Ze asked back unconsciously, his heart was filled with ups and downs.

You know, not long before he stepped into this place, he had just received a mysterious telepathic communication - a message from Zhong Xiaoqin.

At that time, she told him that someone was willing to buy the spiritual rights to her novel for millions of spirit stones.

He had also advised her to ask for a higher price.

"Who is Sister Xiaoqin?"

Qiao Jingjing frowned and asked with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"It's the novel author whose spiritual power you want to buy!"

Facing Qiao Jingjing's question, Cao Ze responded calmly.

"So you are acquainted with her?"

Qiao Jingjing caught the details in Cao Ze's words and continued to ask.

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Cao Ze nodded helplessly.

“She was a neighbor who lived downstairs.”

"Sister Jingjing, if you want to meet her, I can introduce her."

Cao Ze had a solemn expression and his tone was extremely calm.

Qiao Jingjing raised her eyebrows, having never expected such a coincidence.

"In this case, opportunities don't wait for anyone, so why not settle this matter today."

Qiao Jingjing asked Cao Ze tentatively, and was relieved when she saw that he looked normal.

"Then I'll contact Sister Xiaoqin and ask if she's free."

"If she has time, that would be great."

Cao Ze smiled indifferently, took out his brain, and dialed Zhong Xiaoqin's number.

After a moment, the call was connected.

Zhong Xiaoqin was also shocked when she learned that Cao Ze knew the person who bought her spiritual power.

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

After a long pause, Zhong Xiaoqin calmed down, replied to Cao Ze, and then hurried to the restaurant.

Qiao Jingjing also informed her agent Sister Ling. After all, the matter of purchasing spiritual power should be left to professionals.

Zhong Xiaoqin and Sister Ling arrived at the restaurant box one after another, and saw Cao Ze and Qiao Jingjing sitting next to each other, both of them had strange expressions.

Sister Ling looked at Cao Ze with admiration, appreciating his outstanding appearance and charm.

Zhong Xiaoqin's gaze rested on Qiao Jingjing. The big star in front of her, whom she usually only saw on the screen, was now sitting next to Cao Ze. The two of them were chatting and laughing, and it was obvious that they had a very good relationship.

This made Zhong Xiaoqin feel a little inferior. Cao Ze occupied a place in her heart. Now seeing his intimacy with Qiao Jingjing, she couldn't help feeling sad.

She couldn't help but compare herself with Qiao Jingjing, and only then did she realize that there was a world of difference between the two.

"Please sit down, we are all acquaintances, there is no need to be so formal."

Qiao Jingjing stood up and looked at Zhong Xiaoqin. She found that she had an ordinary appearance and was dressed in ordinary clothes. She immediately let down her guard and showed friendliness.

"Sister Ling, this Miss Zhong is Brother Wogan's neighbor downstairs."

"So you can pay more attention to the spiritual power fees."

Qiao Jingjing poured a glass of spirit wine for Zhong Xiaoqin and gave her instructions.

Sister Ling understood Qiao Jingjing's hint and nodded in agreement.

"Since Miss Zhong is also an acquaintance,"

"Then we'll offer the highest price we can afford."

"Three million spirit stones, how about that?"

When Zhong Xiaoqin heard the offer, she was slightly stunned and did not agree immediately. Instead, she looked at Cao Ze and sought his opinion.

"Ms. Zhong, three million is our greatest sincerity."

"This is also for the sake of Jingjing and your neighbor."

“I can assure you that no one can offer a higher price except our studio.”

Sister Ling spoke earnestly and with a sincere attitude.

"Sister Xiaoqin, this price is quite suitable."

"If you are interested in selling spiritual power, you can consider it."

Cao Ze, who had been silent all this time, spoke slowly.

“Okay, I accept the offer.”

Zhong Xiaoqin raised her eyes and smiled at this time, but the joy in her heart had been diluted by a slight sense of loss.

The reason was that Zhong Xiaoqin was too self-abased and didn't even have the courage to look Qiao Jingjing in the eye.

"In that case, I will prepare the contract immediately."

Sister Ling got a satisfactory answer and was all smiles.

Sister Ling is very efficient. In just a quarter of an hour, the spiritual power purchase agreement was printed.

“Ms. Zhong, just sign here and put your fingerprints on it.”

"The spiritual power fee after deducting the spiritual tax will be credited to your account within 48 hours."

Sister Ling explained carefully to Zhong Xiaoqin, and the two parties signed the agreement smoothly.

"Okay, the contract has been signed, let's eat first!"

"I'll ask the waiter to add a few more dishes, and everyone can enjoy!"

Cao Ze stood up with a smile and walked aside to continue ordering food.

The three women in the room looked at each other, and Sister Ling, who was curious, came up to Qiao Jingjing.

"This is your foster brother! He's so handsome!"

"Based on his looks, he will definitely be popular even if he is just a vase in the circle!"

"Send a message to him and find out if he has the intention to enter the cultivation world..."

Sister Ling's words revealed endless mystery. At this moment, Cao Ze happened to push open the carved spiritual wooden door and stepped inside.

Qiao Jingjing slightly opened her red lips and coughed twice, reminding Sister Ling with the slight movement of her spiritual waves.

Sister Ling immediately understood, dropped the previous topic, and gave Cao Ze a flattering smile.

"Miss Jingjing, your spirit messenger is really dedicated to his duties!"

Cao Ze smiled faintly, spiritual power flowing in his hands, picking up the delicious dishes for Qiao Jingjing.

"It's a pity. I intend to expand my territory in the field of cultivation."

"As for the idea of ​​entering the entertainment industry, it is not under consideration at the moment."
