In this world, affection and indifference often lay only a single thought apart.
Once the thought arose, he acted on it.
Moreover, as a broker, she was surely well informed. The matter of spending top-grade Spirit Stones could be left to Ning Caiyun.
But Ning Caiyun alone was ultimately limited. Mu Xiaobai could also serve as an alternative.
Su Shi'er's expression remained calm, though a lively gleam flashed through his eyes.
Looking at Su Shi'er, Mu Xiaobai was greatly surprised. In her impression, Su Shi'er was not a generous cultivator.
He was even somewhat "stingy"!
Yet the token and palm-sized gourd before her were tangible and real.
After a brief hesitation, Mu Xiaobai hurriedly accepted the items and thanked Su Shi'er.
"Th-this... then this junior thanks you, Senior!"
"Now that the matter is settled, this junior will not disturb you further."
With that, she did not linger and hurriedly took her leave.
Quickly exiting the cave mansion, Mu Xiaobai summoned her flying sword and immediately flew it toward the foot of the mountain.
Once she had left the cave mansion and was flying through the air,

Three thousand Spirit Stones! Many cultivators might not earn that much even after toiling for an entire year. And yet... it was just gone like that. Mu Xiaobai, Mu Xiaobai, you truly are a spendthrift woman.
Mm... but that senior had not haggled with me in the end. That was a good thing. Otherwise, even if the commission had been reduced a little, it would have been more than this.
Fortunately, fortunately! This outcome was not entirely unacceptable.
