What I Deem Worth It Is Worth It

"I remember the house next door is uninhabited. Once I buy it, you and your mother can move in."

Qing Lin nodded vigorously, her big eyes filled with anticipation for the future.

Of course she knew that Qin Yu wouldn't take them away from Stone Desert City and help them find a place to stay for no reason.

Qin Yu already knew about Qing Lin Yu's conditions from her mother.

It's just about taking care of the yard; for this mother and daughter, that's practically all they need.

It was just a convenient thing to do.

The house next door was purchased smoothly.

The seller was a middle-aged man in his fifties. Over the past few months, he had personally witnessed the Xiao Household sending people to clean Qin Yu's small house every few days, and he had long since made up his mind.

So when Qin Yu came to him wanting to buy the house, the price he quoted was ridiculously low, almost like giving it away for free.

Qin Yu wasn't the type to take advantage of others, so he gave an extra 20%, making both parties happy.

After obtaining the property deed, Qin Yu returned to the small house and handed the key to Qing Lin's mother.

"The house next door has been bought, and you can move in today. If you find it inconvenient to go back and forth between the gates, the wall between the two yards can be torn down."

The neighbor's yard was a bit bigger than Qin Yu's, and the house inside was also spacious, but it had been uninhabited for a long time and was covered with a thick layer of dust.

Qing Lin's mother came over and took a look. Without saying a word, she started tidying up, and Xiao Yi Xian also rolled up her sleeves to help.

Qin Yu wanted to lend a hand, but the three women unanimously pushed him out:

"What are you doing getting involved in this mess? Go do what you're supposed to be doing."

So Qin Yu really did go about his business.

He returned to his room, changed into the Alchemist's robe, and pinned the Four-Grade Alchemist's badge to his chest.

Wearing this outfit will make things much easier for him when he needs to get things done.

Xiao Yi Xian peeked out from the neighboring courtyard and her eyes lit up when she saw Qin Yu had changed his clothes.

Are you going out?

"Yes, let's go to the Mittel Auction House."

"I want to go too!"

Xiao Yi Xian dropped the rag in her hand and was about to run out when Qin Yu stopped her.

"I'm going to take care of some important business, why are you following me?"

"I... I'll help you save face!"

"If you come with me, who will be the one to make a scene?"

Xiao Yi Xian snorted in dissatisfaction, but did not insist any further.

"Then come back soon."

Xiao Yi Xian straightened his collar, then suddenly kissed Qin Yu on the lips before turning and running back to the neighboring courtyard.

Qin Yu watched her retreating figure, shook his head with a smile, and Mittel Auction House.

The Mittel Auction House on the most bustling main street in Wutan City, and its building has an impressive exterior.

As Qin Yu walked through the gate, the eyes of the two welcoming attendants immediately fell on him.

To be precise, it was the robe he wore that symbolized his identity Alchemist.

As for the badge on the chest...

They didn't even notice, since in Wutan City, the chances of seeing a wild Alchemist were already extremely low.

Who cares about rank? Just make sure the pay is good!

"Sir, how can I help you?"

A maidservant hurried forward, bowing lower than the threshold.

"I want to see Ya Fei."

"Yes, sir, please follow me. I will arrange a VIP room for you first, and then I will inform Miss Ya Fei."

Without any hesitation, the maid gave her companion a wink and then led Qin Yu upstairs to a private room.

Qin Yu had barely sat down when footsteps sounded outside the door.

The door was pushed open, and a woman dressed in a red robe walked in gracefully.

This was Qin Yu's first time meeting Ya Fei, and all that could be said was...

Words can hardly do justice to the presence of real people.

This woman exudes a unique charm that belongs to mature women from head to toe.

Following Ya Fei was an elderly man.

The old man was wearing a gray robe and had a badge of a Two-Grade Alchemist pinned to his chest; he was clearly Gu Ni.

The moment Ya Fei entered the room, her gaze fell on the badge on Qin Yu's chest.

She paused, a flicker of horror crossing her eyes, but the smile on her face remained perfectly maintained.

Four-Grade Alchemist.

Ya Fei didn't believe anyone would dare to forge the Alchemist Association's grade certificate, since Alchemy couldn't be faked.

"Miss Ya Fei."

Qin Yu spoke first, offering a greeting.

"Sir, may I ask your name?"

Ya Fei gracefully sat down in the chair next to Qin Yu, and Gu Ni followed closely behind, sitting opposite the two.

"Qin Yu."

"Well... I wonder what treasure Master Qin has come to my Mittel Auction House today to bid on, or is there something else he needs?"

Ya Fei's voice seemed to have an inherent allure, making one's heart itch, as if a cat's paw was gently scratching.

Qin Yu did not rush to answer, but instead took out ten small jade bottles from his Storage Ring and lined them up on the table.

Ya Fei naturally understood what Qin Yu meant. Gu Ni also stepped forward, picked up one of the jade bottles, uncorked it, and brought it to her nose to smell it.

The smell caused his expression to change drastically.

After some assessment, Gu Ni stepped behind Ya Fei and whispered in her ear:

"Miss, if my judgment is correct, these should all be fourth-grade pills."

Gu Ni did not make a direct assertion, because his own rank was only second grade.

He only noticed that there were three Qi-Gathering Powder among them, and based on the fact that the fragrance of all ten pills was roughly at the same level, he made a guess.

This time, Ya Fei was completely unable to remain calm.

Is this man showing off his wealth? Is he treating a fourth-grade elixir like candy?

"Master Qin, what's wrong...?"

"I'd like to ask Mittel Auction House for a favor; this is the payment."

Qin Yu pushed the jade bottle forward. These ten grade-four pills were all refined by him on his return journey.

Ya Fei took a deep breath, trying her best to appear less flustered.

"Master Qin, please speak."

"I need your help to protect two people."

Qin Yu gave Qing Lin and her daughter their address, and then added:

"Don't worry about their living difficulties; they have to rely on themselves. But their personal safety cannot be compromised in the slightest."

After hearing this, Ya Fei fell silent.

Protecting a mother and daughter is a simple matter for Mittel Auction House.

Although the guard force of the Wutan City branch was not strong, there were no powerful people in the area.

The reward Qin Yu offered was ten fourth-grade pills.

This deal is a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

It could even be said that Qin Yu essentially gave away these ten Rank 4 pills for free.

"Master Qin, would you mind if I asked one more question?"

"It's okay, go ahead and ask."

Ya Fei raised her head, her long, narrow peach blossom eyes filled with doubt as she stared intently at Qin Yu's expression.

"Ten grade four pills... are they really worth it?"

"If I think she's worth it, then she is."

This is why Qin Yu can only offer fourth-grade pills at the moment, and the most powerful auction house in Wutan City is the Mittel Auction House.

Otherwise, Qin Yu wouldn't mind offering a higher reward to hire someone stronger to take charge of the safety of Qing Lin and her daughter.

He adores Qing Lin so much that he'd pay any price for her!
