Working was out of the question. What had happened in Chizhou last time was still fresh in Qinghe's memory.
Last time, it had clearly been Chu Xingchen who let the fortune escape.
Yet Granny Bai had punished only her without distinguishing right from wrong, saying, "You couldn't even hold on to meat that was already at your lips. Are you even a flood dragon? Even a chicken might have pecked it back with a couple of jabs."
What a thing for Granny Bai to say! The one who was worse than a chicken wasn't Qinghe-it should have been that black-hearted brat, Chu Xingchen.
The most infuriating part was that Granny Bai had taken her anger out only on her!
And when they went to Yuzhou City last time, Granny Bai hadn't even questioned Chu Xingchen about it!
This was blatant favoritism, not fair in the slightest.
Even if Qinghe had slacked off a little at the start, she had genuinely stepped up when things happened afterward.
She had been stabbed clean through, fair and square-and it had really hurt!
Surely that counted as a workplace injury, yet Granny Bai hadn't offered so much as a word of concern!
Besides, working for Granny Bai basically meant working for free. On that point alone, Granny Bai was even worse than Li Xingtian.
At least Li Xingtian knew to treat her to a meal. Granny Bai ordered her around with nothing but her mouth.
Who knew which unlucky sucker was about to be ordered around by Granny Bai?

Though called a reception hall, it did not actually count as being inside the Heavenly Derivation Sect yet. It was still outside the sect's Mountain-Guarding Grand Array.
Chu Xingchen surveyed his surroundings with envy-just what he would expect
