After Situ Yao had been taken away and settled in, Guan Fangyi immediately erupted. Just like that, two passenger birds had been given away. Of course she had to catch Niu Youdao and make a scene.
She counted on her fingers as she settled the accounts with Niu Youdao, telling him that they truly had very little money left. Last time, in order to save Shang Shuqing and the Young Prince, they had used up so many Heaven Sword Talismans in one stroke that they had genuinely emptied their reserves. Even the savings she had accumulated at Fragrant Blossom Garden had been poured in.
Right now, never mind the people around them who needed supporting—the expenses of so many people at Five-Beam Mountain alone were no small sum. Those people all regarded Guan Fangyi as their housekeeper, stretching out their hands to her for funds.
Yet Niu Youdao spent without restraint, giving away passenger birds whenever he pleased. How could she not be furious?
Niu Youdao said he would think of something later, but Guan Fangyi kept nagging. So Niu Youdao claimed he had business to handle and called Wen Mo'er out for a stroll.
Xu Laoliu stopped Guan Fangyi, who was stomping her feet in anger, and advised her, "Big Sister, Daoist Master is a man who does great things. Since he did this, he naturally has his reasons."
"Do I need you to teach me?" Guan Fangyi shot back disdainfully. After glaring with raised brows and blazing eyes for a while, she let out a soft sigh. She had to admit that, having witnessed Niu Youdao's successive schemes unfold one after another, none of them could possibly play such a game.
Actually, she knew that some things could not be measured with money. But she was still angry.
