The female lead thought she had a "proud and arrogant" character script.

"Don't worry, Miss. I am loyal to you. Even if Young Master Li gives me more spirit stones, I will never abandon you!"

Hongdou glanced disdainfully at Li Zhiming, walked away from him, and stood behind Luo Qingcheng to show her attitude.

Li Zhiming and Er Kang shook their heads, "I am not..."

Luo Qingcheng snorted coldly, interrupting him. Seeing him reach out, she subconsciously used the unsheathed sword at her waist to block Li Zhiming's hand. "Young Master Li, I know that Hongdou is talented and has a simple personality, but she is not qualified as a maid. Please find another suitable servant!"

Li Zhiming was on the verge of tears, "I didn't mean to..."

He was halfway through his sentence when Hongdou poked her head out and interrupted him, "Miss, didn't you just say that I'm not qualified to be a maid?"

Luo Qingcheng turned around, looking completely bewildered. "What's wrong with what you said?"

Hongdou, with a serious face and hands on her hips, said, "Miss, what is wrong with me? It is you, Miss, who is completely unqualified as my mistress!"

Li Zhiming: "You..."

"Shut up" x2.

Li Zhiming: QAQ

"Oh? I'd like to hear what I'm lacking as a young lady?"

"Miss! Putting aside the time when we were in the Luo residence, ever since you took me out, you've always let me go hungry. Do you admit that, Miss?"

Red Bean counted on her fingers unhappily.

"Okay, so you agree with that?"

Luo Qingcheng was furious. "I gave you all the spiritual fruits and fasting pills, and didn't eat anything myself. I even tried my best to find secret manuals for you, but you don't remember anything. All you remember is that you were hungry?"

“Miss, the spirit fruit was picked by your servant. I offered it to you, but you refused and even yelled at me. You clearly wanted the Bigu Pill back, but I ate it beforehand and failed to get it.”

Hongdou said matter-of-factly, "As for the secret manual, Miss abandoned me and left when I wasn't paying attention. How dare you bring that up?"

Luo Qingcheng laughed, "So you're saying it's all my fault?"

"Of course! If I weren't so open-minded, why would I be willing to be Miss's maid? Miss can't say that I'm an unqualified maid!"

Hongdou adopted an expression that said, "Miss should thank this servant for her great kindness; how dare I repay kindness with enmity?"

Luo Qingcheng pointed at her, his finger trembling, "Since you think I treat you badly, go be Li Zhiming's maid! I don't care!"

She turned around, grabbed Wanwan who was watching the show and eating snacks, and ran out.

Li Zhiming finally found a chance to speak, "Red Bean Girl, aren't we going to go after her?"

With tears in her eyes, Hongdou said angrily, "This servant will not go!"

She grabbed Li Zhiming's hand and said defiantly, "Since Miss doesn't care, from today onwards, this servant belongs to Young Master Li!"

Li Zhiming blushed as he felt the slightly rough yet soft little hand in his palm.

Feeling a little dizzy, he promised, "Okay, I will definitely treat Miss Hongdou well!"

The three people in the store who watched the whole thing: ...

how to say?

The absurdity and humor of this elementary school squabble is no less than the "Complete Collection of Jokes" published by the bookstore a few days ago.

the other side.

Wanwan worriedly grabbed Luo Qingcheng's hand and shook it.

Luo Qingcheng tilted his head. "Oh dear, did I scare Wanwan?"

She glanced behind her discreetly; Hongdou and Li Zhiming hadn't followed.

He whispered, "Don't worry, I did it on purpose."

Wanwan: ? ? ?

A big question in a small head.

Luo Qingcheng explained, "Wanwan, you're still young and don't understand why men are willing to spend money on women they have no blood relation with. I think Li Zhiming is probably interested in my Hongdou, so he deliberately found an opportunity for them to be alone together."

Wanwan nodded.

Luo Qingcheng was suspicious. Did she really understand?

But it doesn’t matter.

As long as Wanwan believes it, that's fine.

Actually, what she said to Wanwan earlier was just a lie. The real reason was that, given how clingy Hongdou was, if she didn't come up with a solution, she probably wouldn't be able to buy the cultivation manual and practice her sword as planned today.

Luo Qingcheng's ultimate goal was to find an excuse to argue with Hongdou, so that she could focus on her cultivation after returning to the inner sect and stop bothering him.

Sure enough, Hongdou, being so straightforward, started arguing with her just as planned; she's so easy to understand.

whee.

Let that gullible Li Zhiming take her place and get stuck with the red beans!

But what's causing this stuffy feeling?

do not care.

Luo Qingcheng pulled Wanwan back, who was still walking straight ahead.

"Wanwan, there's a bookstore here. They should have the mental cultivation techniques we're looking for."

She pointed to the classical and elegant plaque of the bookstore next to her.

Wanwan stopped, nodded blankly, and walked inside.

"Welcome! What kind of books would you like to buy? Our latest release, 'The Overbearing Immortal Falls in Love with Me,' is selling very well. Would you like a copy?"

Behind the cabinet was a young girl who looked quite young. She smiled at everyone she met, and her two dimples were very cute.

However, Luo Qingcheng's attention was not on this.

She glanced at the sword at Xiaojiuwo's ​​waist and hesitated, "Could it be that you are also—"

Oh, you mean this?

Noticing Luo Qingcheng's gaze, Little Dimple touched the hilt of the sword at her waist. "Hehe, doing a part-time job."

Luo Qingcheng: ...

"Um, we'd like two copies of 'Elementary Mind Techniques.' Could you please tell us where they are?"

Newly joined outer disciples don't have disciple robes, so Little Dimple didn't recognize her. But when Luo Qingcheng said that, she suddenly realized, "Two 'Elementary Heart Sutras,' right? I have them here."

She pulled out two jade slips from the drawer of the cabinet.

He handed it to Luo Qingcheng with a smile and said, "Thank you for your patronage of two hundred spirit stones."

Luo Qingcheng accidentally saw that the drawer was full of identical jade slips.

She was somewhat speechless. "Senior sister, I have a question. Could you help me answer it?"

With a professional smile, Xiao Jiuwo said, "Sure, I can answer any questions you have if I know the answer."

"Won't the sect's casual sale of the 'Elementary Mind Technique' be exploited by those with ulterior motives?"

For example, deliberately buying them to find vulnerabilities and exploit them.

"No, the 'Elementary Cultivation Method' is what outer disciples learn when they first enter the sect. Its content is an introductory cultivation method that everyone in the cultivation world knows. Because it is so basic, it has no loopholes."

Luo Qingcheng understood.

Now she can finally rest assured.

System whisper: [Dark.]

Luo Qingcheng was used to the gloom, so she took out two hundred spirit stones and handed them over.

Stop suddenly.

Her dimples froze on her lips.

Could it be that she discovered the deluxe jade slip version was ninety spirit stones more expensive than the regular paper version?

The next second, her dimples parted and her mouth opened into a smile again.

Luo Qingcheng looked left and right, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she leaned closer to Xiao Jiuwo and whispered, "Senior sister, could you give me another copy of the book you mentioned earlier, 'The Overbearing Immortal Lord Falls in Love with Me'?"

"Alright, thank you for your patronage, a total of three hundred spirit stones!"

My commission is guaranteed!
