Startled, Jin Pingyue and the Drunk Monk gazed at each other for a while.
Seeing their facial expression, Lin Qingfeng could not squash his laughter. So did Fang Xian'er. Oppressed previously, her laughter finally burst out. Lin Qingfeng and Fang Xian'er's wild laugh filled up the office.
"Xian'er, come on, give the golden fire wine to me! I've been longing for it for days. But the stingy monk did not want to share it. Now I can drink as much as I want! Ha…ha…ha…"
The monk figured out what happened, lunging towards Lin Qingfeng, "You liar, return the wine to me!"
Holding the wine gourd in chest, Lin Qingfeng dodged easily like a shadow and giggled, "It's in my hand. You want to get it back? Dreaming!"
"Old Lin, Lin Qingfeng, you…" Annoyed, the monk did not drink Lin's apricot blossom wine, but lost his golden fire wine. He wanted to beat Lin Qingfeng, however, Lin's cultivation base was higher than his. The monk could do nothing.
Jin Pingyue drew a long sigh helplessly, "How stupid I was! You two cheated me so many times, but I still believe you!"
"Martial uncle Yue, I know you wanted to give the icy crystal dagger to me earlier, right?" Fang Xian'er smiled and waved Jin Pingyue's arm.
Jin glimpsed at Fang Xian'er, "That's how you stand by me?"
Fang Xian chuckled and presented the blood essence herb to her, "Martial uncle Yue, the herb is real. Your dagger is worth it."
Fang Xian'er was right. Jin Pingyue intended to give the icy crystal dagger to her a long time ago. Even though Fang Xian'er 'cheated' her, she would not be angry. Moreover, what's the point of rage? Foolish, she was the one to be blamed.
Jin Pingyue gave up the idea of the dagger and focused on the blood essence herb. To be more precisely, the herb was much more valuable than her dagger.
After a careful check, Jin Pingyue confirmed that the blood essence herb was real. She was astounded, "Xian'er the herb should not exist in the mortal realm. Where did you get it?"
Fang Xian'er frowned, "One of my students discovered it by chance when he climbed mountains."
Jin Pingyue was dubious of Fang Xian'er's words, but she could not find other reasonable explanation except that, nodding slowly and whispering, "How lucky your student is…"
Jin Pingyue's answer reminded Fang Xian'er, who looked serious and said, "Martial uncle, would you please do me a favor?"
Jin Pingyue glanced at her, "You've already gotten my icy crystal dagger. What else do you want?"
Fang Xian'er laughed, "You always want a disciple. I've selected one for you. And I'm sure you'll be satisfied with him."
"Oh? What's his name? Who is he?"
Fang Xian'er answered, "His name is Qin Dong. I'm not clear about where he comes from. But he seems to share an intimate relationship with Li Yunteng from the Flying Dragon School. "
"Flying Dragon School? Li Yunteng? Albeit a little bit tyrannical, Li Yunteng is forthright. I prefer him to the Ghost Party. How's Qin Dong's quality? I want a disciple as talented as you are! Otherwise I'll lose out to your master all my life."
Fang Xian'er giggled, "Although without any martial skills, he can equal me in terms of quality. You'll be pleased with him."
Jin Pingyue nodded and smiled, "Alright. He's your recommendation. I'll consider him carefully! Tomorrow, you bring him to me. I'll have a look myself."
Fang Xian'er nodded, "Okay! I'll bring him here tomorrow. My master and martial uncle monk can also give you some suggestions."
The blood essence herb Fang Xian'er got from Qin Dong not only could detoxify the soul-devouring poison in her body but also helped her obtain the icy crystal dagger yearning for from Jin Pingyue.
Fang Xian'er benefited a lot from Qin Dong, whom she was grateful to and wanted to repay. Qin Dong was incapable of any martial arts, but loved to stir up troubles in nature. If she could introduce him as Jin Pingyue's inner disciple, he could protect himself in the future. In such a case, she would not be in his debt. Fang Xian'er insisted her idea and would try her best to make Qin Dong Jin Pingyue's disciple.
Qin Dong, a cultivator at the fifth level in the heavens, was stronger than Fang Xian'er's master by two ranks. How could Jin Pingyue, a cultivatior at the second level teach him?
