Chapter 388 Untitled Draft
Elder Mingqiu blinked at Qin Che's threat and opened his mouth to shout, but Qin Che quickly covered his mouth.
Qin Che wiped the invisible cold sweat from his forehead. He had heard his master say that Elder Mingqiu was dishonest, but he never expected that he could actually turn on him.
Elder Mingqiu looked at the young man in front of him provocatively. What?
Are you afraid to let him speak?
Elder Mingqiu was also somewhat frustrated when he talked about this. Of course, he wasn't on duty at the Nine-Tailed Temple today.
The Nine-Tailed Temple has many visitors, and they are all very wealthy.
The disciples on duty are not allowed to charge visitors, because all visitors are honored guests, regardless of their wealth or social status.
However, it's acceptable to start a side business to earn some extra money; the Heavenly Mystery Sect doesn't prohibit that.
They are usually menial workers in the Tianji Sect, not disciples. As long as they hand over some profits to the Tianji Sect, they can do some small side jobs in the Nine-Tailed Divine Palace.
Formal disciples look down on these things. As a sect that owns an entire city, with few members and possessing exceptional money-making skills, the disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Sect are quite wealthy!
However, those who engage in the business of predicting and revealing heavenly secrets inevitably acquire some flaws from their disciples of the Heavenly Secrets Sect.
Elder Mingqiu unfortunately fell into a affliction of financial loss; any spirit stones or resources that came into his possession would disappear in all sorts of strange ways.
Having too much can even be life-threatening!
Elder Mingqiu was extremely poor, with hardly any spirit stones in his possession. He even had to donate the spirit stones he earned from fortune telling, otherwise, if he kept them for more than a day, he would be in for a world of trouble!
The worst time was when Elder Mingqiu was bedridden for a full half month!
What if you don't have any spirit stones? You can't exactly ask the sect for them!
Elder Mingqiu, being a powerful figure, couldn't bring himself to ask for the job directly, so the Nine-Tailed Divine Palace became a very good option for him.
Like the seven-colored silkworm silk, some people want it, but they can't close many deals and earn that little bit of spirit stones, which is just within Elder Mingqiu's budget!
Unexpectedly, on the very first day of this month, I ran into someone I knew.
Elder Mingqiu was somewhat depressed and fell into thought, wondering if he had earned a little too many spirit stones last month.
Qin Che, like a bully, pulled Elder Mingqiu aside into the shadows and tossed the box containing the seven-colored silk threads in his hand: "I want them all!"
The generous tone and the lavish gesture left Elder Mingqiu momentarily stunned by the large sum of spirit stones entering his tent: "Really?"
Qin Che took out a handful of top-grade spirit stones: "Elder, do you think this is enough?"
"Enough, enough!" Elder Mingqiu's hand involuntarily reached for the top-grade spirit stone, but suddenly, he shuddered! The expression on his face changed from excitement to indignation: "This is trying to kill me!"
Seeing Elder Mingqiu lost in indescribable emotions, Qin Che was somewhat at a loss. "Ah, what's wrong?"
Cheng Jiu withdrew his trump card—the secret inquiry with Nan Xingze—and leaned close to Senior Brother Qin Che, whispering a reminder: "Elder Mingqiu is short of money!"
"Huh?" Qin Che was confused, so he suddenly came to his senses and his sympathetic gaze fell on Elder Mingqiu.
Is there anything more painful than having a large sum of spirit stones slip through your fingers and being unable to take them?
That is, a large amount of spirit stones passed by, and I could only broaden my horizons!
Qin Che didn't want to make things difficult for Elder Mingqiu.
"Elder! Do you want to see how many orders you can handle? I'll buy them all!" Qin Che suggested.
"Really! Then it's settled, I'm not going to do the calculations for you! And I'm not on duty today!"
Elder Mingqiu's eyes lit up. Although it was nothing compared to before, even a mosquito-sized piece of meat was still a piece of meat to him!
