The villain, Xiao Nanliang, caused the female lead excruciating pain.

As dawn breaks, the eastern sky gradually turns a pale white, the soft white light spreading out like a light veil on a young girl's body.

Squeak...

The tightly closed door opened, and Mu Feier peeked out of the room furtively. She scanned every corner of Qifeng Courtyard with her divine sense, and only after confirming that no one was there did she blush slightly and come out carrying a quilt.

She had changed into a different dress.

How could I have such a dream, especially one involving...

Her face flushed red at the thought of the scene in her dream.

Luckily, no one was there.

Holding the quilt, she went to the yard, washed it with water more than ten times, then performed more than a dozen stain-removing techniques before drying it.

He brought his nose close to smell it, and only after confirming that there was no lingering odor did he breathe a sigh of relief, then sneakily took the blanket back.

She breathed a sigh of relief after everything was done.

Luckily, I wasn't discovered, otherwise how could I ever hold my head up in public again?

"Mother, why did she suddenly start washing the blankets?"

While having breakfast, Su Qi, having received a telescope from Du Yunyi, saw this and feigned innocence as he looked at his mother across from him.

Du Yunyi, who was constantly putting food into Su Qi's bowl, froze when she heard this question.

But she quickly realized what was happening and smacked Su Qi on the forehead with a chopstick.

"She became like this all because of your plan, you brat, what are you pretending to be naive for?"

"I'm still a child!" Su Qi said innocently.

……

About an hour later, Mu Feier went out and headed towards the Fengxing Hall.

The Yunmiao Immortal Sect's Execution Hall is in charge of distributing the sect's resources. If you need anything, you can exchange it with them using spirit stones or other equivalent resources.

Mufier's arrival attracted a lot of attention, after all, everyone likes to see beautiful women.

Some disciples who had just joined the sect and had never met Mu Feier were even more eager to try their luck.

But when he learned from others that she was an elder of the sect, he immediately became obedient.

Mufi ignored everyone else and went straight to the window where she collected her monthly salary.

"Elder Mu!"

The young girl inside the window was a little nervous. She had just been transferred to the Fengxing Hall and this was her first time receiving such an important figure as an elder.

Mu Feier nodded, took out a list, and handed it over.

"Please help me exchange part of my monthly salary for these medicinal herbs!"

This is the healing elixir she is going to refine.

The little girl took the list, glanced at it, and then her expression turned somewhat strange, as if she were puzzled.

"Elder Mu, these medicinal herbs of yours are not cheap."

Mu Fei'er was a little confused. Of course she knew these medicinal herbs were not cheap, but what did it have to do with you, someone who was handling things?

Are you going to stop me from exchanging it?

"I know, just change it for me."

Seeing that she didn't understand, the little girl directly pointed it out.

“Elder Mu, your monthly salary is one hundred mid-grade spirit stones, which is not enough to exchange for these medicinal herbs.”

"My monthly salary is only one hundred mid-grade spirit stones?" Mu Fei'er was somewhat astonished.

Three years ago, after she married Su Qi, the previous sect leader, Su Yun, promoted her to the level of elder.

From that time on, she received a huge amount of cultivation resources every month.

The value of those cultivation resources far exceeds one hundred mid-grade spirit stones.

Otherwise, without resources, she wouldn't have been able to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm in just three years.

Mu Feier originally thought that the huge amount of cultivation materials she could receive every month was a normal treatment for elders of the Yunmiao Immortal Sect.

But now this little girl is telling her that the elder can only receive one hundred mid-grade spirit stones per month...

How is this going?

At this moment, a steward from the Fengxing Hall rushed over, looking somewhat anxious... and guilty.

"Elder Mu, why did you come in person?"

Mufier recognized this butler; he personally delivered her monthly salary every month.

Seeing the guilty look on his face, Mu Feier narrowed her eyes slightly.

Her intuition told her that something was amiss.

“I just happened to be passing by, so I stopped by to pick it up, saving Steward Li the trouble of making a trip for me.”

Deacon Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly said.

"This disciple has just arrived at the Fengxing Hall and is unfamiliar with some of the rules. Elder Mu, please don't take her words to heart. We haven't prepared your monthly salary yet. How about I send it to you in a couple of days?"

These words made Mu Feier even more confused.

It's just a little bit of cultivation resources, isn't it?

Doesn't the Fengxing Hall have one? Do we have to prepare one separately?

"But I need it urgently."

Sensing that things were getting increasingly amiss, Mu Feier became even more determined to find out what the Fengxing Palace was really up to.

Deacon Li looked particularly troubled, and gritted his teeth as he asked.

"Elder Mu, would you mind waiting a bit? I'll go and make some preparations."

"Fine, go ahead!"

Mu Fei'er agreed, seemingly unconcerned.

"Okay, please wait a moment!"

Deacon Li has left.

Mu Feier made an excuse to go to the restroom and secretly followed them.

"What is the Fengxing Hall doing?"

Su Qi and Du Yunyi were also puzzled by what they saw.

It's just a monthly salary, can't we just pay it normally?

Suddenly, a memory belonging to the original owner gradually became clear in Su Qi's mind, and his expression gradually froze.

He seems... as if... knows the reason.

If he's not mistaken, the reason that Deacon Li is leaving now is to contact him, right?

beep...

The vibration of the communication jade pendant confirmed Su Qi's guess.

He hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should accept the call.

However, when he saw through the telescope that Mu Feier was secretly eavesdropping behind Deacon Li, a thought immediately crossed his mind.

"what happened?"

Seeing that Su Qi did not react for a long time, Du Yunyi asked in confusion.

"Shh!"

Su Qi made a gesture to be quiet, then picked up the communication jade token and connected the call.

"Su..."

"Cough cough cough..."

The moment the other person uttered a single word, Su Qi let out a series of heart-wrenching coughs.

"Young Master Su, what's wrong?"

Deacon Li was startled.

"N-nothing...it's nothing!" Despite saying this, Su Qi sounded like he was about to collapse: "Cough cough cough...Deacon Li, is there something you need?"

“Um…” Deacon Li hesitated for a moment, but still said, “Elder Mu has come to collect his monthly salary. Without your support, Young Master Su, I, as a deacon, could not have come up with such a large amount of resources.”

Hearing this from the shadows, Mu Fei'er was stunned.

Of course she knew who the young master Su that Deacon Li was talking about was.

So... all the cultivation resources I receive every month are thanks to Su Qi's support behind the scenes?

In response, Su Qi said he also wanted to drag the original owner out and beat him up.

Haven't you heard the saying?

Money is for women to look at, not to spend.

The inheritance left by Su Yun was actually used by the original owner of this body as a sycophant.

If you manage to get it, then so be it.

As a result, not only did you not even touch her hand, but you also had the cultivation level that you helped improve used to help the male lead kill your own mother.

Damn it, just thinking about Su Qi makes me angry.

Such a large amount of cultivation resources would make even a dog wag its tail more if fed to it.
