Chapter 009 The Joy of Emptying the Shopping Cart
Your modifiers occupy more than half of the text, which does not align with the premise of simplicity in communication
Wang Jiuhua spent some time and finally confirmed that Li Qingming truly had no intention of moving, even if it meant stubbornly resisting the family's orders and sacrificing all her allowance. When he kindly handed the property section of the "Qingyun Daily" to the young girl by her pillow, the newspaper was directly reduced to powder by her profound inner strength. And when he persuaded Li Qingming to move back to the Li family courtyard, he was met with a roar that aggravated his back injury.
After a moment, one could see the whiteboard divine sword from beyond the sky leisurely dragging a large pile of packages as it flew into the room
Li Qingming on the bed glared at him and said: "It's takeout!"
... ...
Li Qingming said: "My mother... due to some complex reasons, although she was the daughter of a wealthy family in Shen City, she married my father as a concubine. Initially, their relationship was very good, but she left too early. My father, being a heartless man, soon after my mother's death, officially married the eldest daughter of the Lu family from Qingyun City, who is Lu Xin. Later, he even had a son with her, and from then on, he completely forgot about my mother. Yet, Lu Xin remembers clearly that she only entered the Li family after my mother had passed away... Alright, is this sufficient?"
What! My mother left me money? I had no idea! By the way, how did you... No, wait, why have you never told me!
Li Qingming concluded decisively, saying: "Now Lu Xin is instructing those servants to force me to leave this small courtyard, which is nothing more than wanting me to return to the Li family mansion to be bullied by her. She has always harbored resentment towards my mother, but unfortunately, it was only after my mother passed away that she had the opportunity to enter the Li family. Unable to take revenge on my mother, she can only seek revenge on me."
This stubbornness and obstinacy in severing ties with the organization is difficult for him to comprehend
Not only that! In terms of cultivation, they are a hundred times harsher on me than on other members of the Li family! During my time in the inner sect, I was almost always the top performer among my peers—at least for the last two years. Yet, I could never earn their approval, and for any task, even something as trivial as needlework, I would be met with ridicule at the slightest mistake. However, at that time, I was the top disciple of the inner sect, so even if they nitpicked, they couldn't find too many faults. But I still could not gain their approval, and for any task, even something as trivial as needlework, I would be met with ridicule at the slightest mistake. However, at that time, I was the top disciple of the inner sect, so even if they nitpicked, they couldn't find too many faults. But later, when my internal energy reached perfection and I was preparing to break through the wind barrier, I found myself stuck at this bottleneck... for a full four years. During these four years, I faced many harsh words and unbearable situations.
Ignoring the stunned and dazed expression of the delivery boy who witnessed the flying sword retrieving the meal, Wang Jiu leisurely floated back with the buns for Li Qingming
Li Qingming was immediately astonished: "You have money?"
Li Qingming said irritably: "All my belongings are in this courtyard, feel free to use whatever you can."
May 17, 2017, it was still raining
Wang Jiuxing, full of enthusiasm, asked: "What have you experienced?"
Your mother left you some inheritance in a secret room beneath the kitchen. You said that I could use anything in this yard as I please, so I will not be polite about it
Wang Jiu said: "You have it."
Li Qingming, express delivery
Moreover, given my current situation, how can I go back? At 14 years old, I have yet to break through the wind barrier. Not to mention comparing myself to my peers in the inner sect, even among the outer sect... In short, I will never return to that cold and unfeeling courtyard again
Do you really want to listen or not
Takeout
However, a solution to this difficult problem was found at noon
You have always asked me to speak to you less
In that case, if you also have a daughter soon, it could help alleviate some of your pressure
Do not touch the tree, Grandpa
Due to Li Qingming's complete unwillingness to cooperate, Wang Jiu was unable to set up any decent traps or mechanisms in a timely manner. The young girl herself was impoverished, and what her mother, Shen Yue'e, left behind were mostly hard currencies such as gold, silver, jewelry, and spirit stones, with no rare materials or treasures.
Indeed, this shopping manual is quite convenient. Although there are not many high-quality items, the assortment is quite comprehensive. I have already ordered all the materials for the mechanical traps, and I can start working on them tonight
Have you also read their love letters
... ...
Wang Jiu attempted to weigh the comparison of his strength with that of the cultivators at the early stage of the wind's rise. As a once-mighty celestial sword that ruled over all, he found it somewhat difficult to engage in a game of comparing such minuscule values as 0.00001 and 0.0000099. However, generally speaking, with just a formation and a gentle breeze at his disposal, he truly lacked any combat capability, and with his mount, Li Qingming, gravely ill and bedridden, it was indeed troublesome
Hello, you are so annoying! You keep nagging endlessly! You have no idea what I have been through in the past!
Where did you get the money? Li Qingming's expression was already one of panic, "You, you didn't use any wicked things like a credit line or a loan, did you? My goodness, those things can be terrifying when it comes to collecting debts!
You..." Li Qingming felt that the blood in her body, which had finally calmed down with great difficulty, began to boil again. "In any case, I have finished telling my story. Are you satisfied now?"
Wang Jiuling was taken aback for a moment: "That is true, so what materials do you have?"
Ah ah ah ah ah
It seems you have finally realized that, compared to my profound essence, the perfect exterior of the sword is utterly insignificant
For example
After a while, Li Qingming said: "My family's situation is quite complicated, so I will explain it to you briefly. My father is Li Fengyun, the current head of the Li family, a heartless and ungrateful scoundrel of the highest order, and his wife, Lu Xin, is a jealous and malicious woman, perfectly matched to him in their wickedness.
In the Nine Immortals, Feng You is a master of traps and mechanisms, proficient in everything from mouse traps and flypaper to the Collapse Heaven Seal and Earth Binding Book. Although I have not studied systematically with him, I have observed his cultivation and practice, and it is more than sufficient to deal with a mere weakling like Feng Qi. First, prepare the Five Directions Celestial Edict Spirit Seal and a bottle of concentrated purple mist
I always pay in cash, rest assured that my shopping plan is very perfect, just enough to spend all the money without any credit.
By evening, she was deeply engulfed in regret
Li Qingming explained while eating: "Ordering food is quite common in Qingyun City. Many restaurants distribute order slips to wealthy families, and once the requirements are written on them, someone will deliver the meals. When I first moved here, I was focused on my cultivation, relying on takeout for my three meals a day, until later when my allowance was cut, which forced me to start cooking for myself"
Indeed, they seriously discussed 'literary love' in their love letters, which has greatly benefited me
Get out of my head!
Do you still want me to give examples? Li Qingming was practically furious, "For instance, my example of money! For instance, my plain rice and soup! Do you think I am content with living in poverty by choice?"
Have you not studied things like magical formations, barriers, and the art of concealment?
Well, that could work. If we cut down the tree at the entrance of the courtyard, we should be able to make a wooden spirit...
In that case, set the trap
Li Qingming was eating a bun while contemplating how to send that annoying fool of a swordsman off to read, as having a quiet afternoon in exchange would be a good thing
I do not wish to speak
What the hell? What's going on? Wang Jiu, come here!
Please speak
Do you have no understanding at all? I have explained it to this extent, surely you can figure it out on your own. Lu Xin cannot stand me and makes things difficult for me at every turn, while Li Fengyun not only does not stop him but actually cooperates with him at every turn. I simply cannot stay in the Li family courtyard
Li Qingming felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, as if the perfect face that had once made her blush was shattered in her mind. The young girl clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and suppressed the surging blood and energy that threatened to burst from the veins near her temples.
The three individuals are not the real issue; the trouble lies with their elder brother, Li Ping. He broke through the wind barrier several years ago and is a practitioner of the Wind Rising Realm. Although he has only just begun, he has nonetheless surpassed the limits of the human body. Coupled with his mastery of simple techniques and exceptional martial arts skills, he possesses an overwhelming advantage over ordinary people. Fortunately, he did not come along during the last two encounters; otherwise, with just the two of us, we would likely be unable to withstand him.
It's alright, I can look at it myself
Wang Jiu inexplicably brought dozens of copper coins thrown by a young girl to the courtyard gate and exchanged them with a young man who looked like a servant for a large paper bag, which contained steaming buns
Oh, is it really this convenient?! Wang Jiu couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of the new world. During the era of the battle between immortals and demons, although the civilization of the immortals was prosperous and developed, there was never such considerate service—of course, perhaps there was, but back then he was solely focused on practicing his swordsmanship and had no time for external matters
You
Is Li Qingming there
What ... ...
In addition to food delivery, there are many other delivery services. You can take a look at that Duobao Pavilion shopping manual that was inexplicably delivered to my doorstep some time ago. However, just take a look; do not write anything in the order section. I am currently feeling quite pained even just buying these few buns.
In the era of Wang Jiu's chronicles, due to the brutal and protracted war between immortals and demons, the entire Jiuzhou continent was strictly mobilized and managed. The will of the organization superseded all else, and individual desires were utterly insignificant in the face of the larger picture. Even prominent figures at the level of the Nine Immortals had no qualification for caprice. The only exception was the Nameless Sword God, who later reincarnated as the Celestial Sword. However, Wang Jiu himself was very principled; he was granted the ability to transcend human form and obtain supreme divine power through the grace of Jiuzhou. Therefore, he naturally had to first fulfill his own mission—winning the war between immortals and demons—before considering personal desires. Thus, throughout the entire course of the war...
Ah? Li Qingming was surprised, "A trap?"
I have never even heard of it! If I really had that much material, I could directly restore the full power of the Celestial Sword, blowing the Li family courtyard into the Underworld Sea with a single strike, wouldn't that be better!
Alright, alright, I have told you, is that enough? You are really quite annoying! It's simply, simply a waste of such a face!
But if you do not wish to speak, I can only look for myself
Li Qingming wished she could jump directly out of bed, but considering the repeated aggravation of her back injury, she endured it instead
Wang Jiu said: "I have understood your reasons for not returning to the Li family courtyard. Although I have some personal reservations, I fundamentally agree with your judgment. It is indeed better to stay here for the time being. I can help you deal with those three servants."
Was it you who did this
Oh
I ordered food this morning, and I haven't been able to cook for the past two days. I'm starving... Alright, I'll explain it to you later. Please help me pick up the food and pay for it as well.
Hearing shouts coming from outside the courtyard, Wang Jiu's spirits lifted: "Have they arrived so soon?"
Even if I starve to death, die outside, or jump down from here, I will not go to the Li family courtyard
Oh, I see
I ... ...
I have ? How could I possibly have money
Oh, by the way, speaking of which, I remembered something. There are love letters from your parents in the storage room. After I read them, I gained a lot from it
It is nothing, I have studied profound knowledge
Li Qingming said: "I have studied, but only at a beginner's level, and I cannot contend with the masters of the Wind Rising Realm"
Miss Li Qingming, your package has arrived
I ... ...
Miss Li Qingming, your package
Wang Jiu listened in confusion: "I remember you said before that you would tell me about your experiences in the Li family courtyard. What do these ancestral stories have to do with our topic?"
