Lord Xue Ying's

Chapter 51 – Ji Rong

That night in Snowrock Castle.

The table was full of various dishes. Xue Ying sat right at the head of the table, with Zong Ling and Tong San respectively to his left and right. Opposite him was his brother and his female friend, with You Yue next to him.

"Brother, this is Ji Rong, one of the teacher's students as well. He also lives in the Water Rite City. ”Qing Shi was slightly flushed on his face, although he still said it simply.

"Ji Rong's? Haha ... "Xue Ying laughed arrogantly," you can call me big brother like how Qing Shi did it! "

"Ji Rong met Xue Ying's older brother." Ji Rong said sharply, her voice calming the ears.

This Miss Ji Rong seems to be very young, as young as her brother. She was not that tall, and could be considered petite. Although, with her beautiful eyes, she could also be called beautiful. A couple who fit in well with his brother. Unknowingly ... her younger brother had grown from that grizzled little boy to having a girlfriend by her side.

Therefore, he himself had never dated a girl before in his life! Although she was quite close to You Yue, she was not in the mood to clarify her relationship with him as the matter of saving her parents still loomed overhead.

“Although we've only met for the first time, I've prepared a small gift for you. Accept it. ”Say Xue Ying, while taking out the white crystal box.

"Go get it!" Qing Shi pushed his girlfriend.

Ji Rong walked towards Xue Ying, receiving a reward from him. "Thank you, big brother Xue Ying."

"Haha ..." Xue Ying laughed happily. Although he was a little embarrassed by the fancy gifts he bought for his younger brother, You Yue, Uncle Zong, Uncle Tong, he did not think of getting them for his younger brother's girlfriend. After all, this was the first time he had met her, and thus, he momentarily forgot about her! Only after finding out that his brother brought his girlfriend for dinner, did he hastily prepare a suitable gift for her.

Fortunately, the mission he had followed this time was extremely rewarding. In the Demon Envoy's storage treasure was a Jewelry box that should have been obtained from somewhere in the envoy's journey. After calculating the net worth of all the jewelry in the box, the total value should amount to 10,000 gold. So, Xue Ying chose one of the beautiful jewels from the inside, and put it into a beautiful crystal box before giving it to Ji Rong. It should be worth a thousand gold.

Still, she was only her younger brother's girlfriend, and not her fiance. Thus, 1000 gold was considered the right value for him! After all, in some parts of the county, there were families who worked for a year just to earn a thousand gold.

"Brother, this time, you're back quite early."

"This time, I went to County Town to buy some presents for you and You Yue." Xue Ying smiled at her words. "You Yue, this is for you."

After saying, Xue Ying took out a purple mage scepter and robe for him.

"Sister Xue Ying, is this for me?" You Yue hesitated after seeing the reward. He could soon find out that his staff was extremely valuable and his robes were extraordinary. “This staff is made of Wind Yin Wood, and is very valuable. I'M…"

"Because I've decided to give you, just accept." Xue Ying nodded with a smile. That staff was only worth 2,000 gold, whereas that robe was worth 18,000 gold! Being the protective equipment of a heaven-level mage, it would definitely cost a lot.

'If I let this little brat know that the robe was for the Heaven Mage, I doubt he would accept it.' Xue Ying chuckled.

"En." You Yue finally received the reward.

Ji Rong, who was sitting next to You Yue, looked at the staff and the witch. His expression changed a little.

“Brother, how about me? Didn't you say you bought something for me too? "Qing Shi could no longer be patient after that.

"What's in a hurry?" Xue Ying glanced at him. "Look at you behaving like a monkey ... I'll give it to you after dinner."

"You did this on purpose!" Qing Shi felt helpless after hearing that.

"Exactly. I intentionally did this. Magicians usually have patience, so take this as an opportunity to discipline yourself. ”Xue Ying nodded lightly.

"Oh." Qing Shi could only obediently listen to her brother's words.

　　……

As for Qing Shi, he brought his girlfriend back to the Great Mage building.

"Ji Rong, what did you give me?" Qing Shi and Ji Rong walked side by side.

Only now did Ji Rong finally open the crystal box.

Inside was a necklace with aquamarine gems. In the darkness, there was a faint green light emitting from the aquamarine itself.

“High-end aquamarine tubes! I'm afraid this will cost at least a thousand gold ... "Ji Rong is stunned. Being a magician, she naturally knew about the many materials and gems in the world.

"Very valuable !?" Qing Shi was surprised. "My brother is generous, right?"

"Good-hearted, he is very generous!" Ji Rong kept her crystal box, thinking for a moment before asking gently, "Dong Bo Qing Shi, do you know how much staff your brother gave You Yue is worth?"

"That staff? Which is made of Wind Yin Wood? I guess it should be about 2000 gold! "Qing Shi replied casually," YouYue has been with us for a long time! So I guess the relationship with my sister should be very good. For a long period of time, he did not give her any staff at all. Naturally, it was expected for him to give such a good staff to him for the first time. ”

“Hmph!” Ji Rong snorted, “I'm not talking about the staff. I'm talking about the robe! The mage robes he gave her! ”

"Mage Equipment?" Qing Shi looked at him, "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

“Kong You Yue was sitting next to me, so for sure, I saw everything. The robe was actually a witch's kit! There was even a mark on it written by Master Refiner 'Yan Wen'. The equipment refined by the 'Yan Wen' Refiner Master was at least, Earth-class, with most of them being Heaven-class! '' Ji Rong snorted coldly.

"Are you sure you didn't mistake it for something else?" Qing Shi did not dare to believe it.

"I'm a witch, so how could I mistake that for anything else?" Ji Rong had an inexplicable expression on her face. “Great Distiller Yan Wen has at least repaired Earth-class equipment. Thus, the robe would be worth at least 5,000 gold or more. Adding to that staff value, the reward your brother gave Kong You Yue should be over 10,000 gold! Dong Bo Qing Shi, you told me, isn't your brother generous? ”

Qing Shi grinned, "My brother and You Yue have always been very close to each other."

"You're being very single-minded." Ji Rong continued softly, "You and your brother are blood related. You are also one of his successors! Can you stand watching your brother give you all these precious gifts? ”Qing Shi stared blankly after hearing that.

“You are 16 years old. I'm not thinking you're gonna want to depend on your brother for the rest of your life? "Say Ji Rong. "Even among the brothers, you must clearly settle the account!"

"Why are you saying this?" Qing Shi frowned somewhat angrily.

"I'm doing this for your own good." Ji Rong continued, "You should have seen a few years ago when my father worked day and night for this business, solely because he trusted my uncle too much! The money earned belongs to the whole family. After working hard for a full 20 years by my own father, the whole family should be his! Guess what? In the end, my uncle betrayed him by expelling my father from the family. My father ended up getting nothing, not even a small house for us to live in. We've had to stay by our mother's side ever since. "

"I said all this to tell you, even if you have no intention of hurting anyone, you should have your defense ready if someone harms you!"

“I've long heard from you before how hard your brother trained, and just because of the medicinal bath he took, your brother didn't fall apart! But do you know how much it costs for him to take a medicine bath every day for a year? 5000 gold! From 6 years to 16, your brother has spent a full 10 years! This is 50,000 gold! "Ji Rong exclaimed," Your parents bought the title of nobleman, a territory and a large number of Star Breaking Crossbows. Adding armor, castles and various expenditures, all this in total was close to the sum of 200,000 gold! This clearly shows that it was because of your parents' luck to get rich overnight. ”

"You've spent money in vain in the past, and for your brother, before he killed the Silver Moon Wolf King, he didn't even take the time to get back the money spent."

"For so long, whatever you've spent is a legacy your parents left behind!"

"Do you know how much your parents left behind? Did you?"

Qing Shi was silent.

"You don't know!" Ji Rong sneered, "With such a large amount of money, I believe that your parents must have some relic left behind by a Legendary warrior, or even a Trascendent. Anything is possible! However, now that everything is arranged by your brother, you don't even have the slightest bit of knowledge about what your parents left behind. ”

“Everything is controlled by your brother. Guess what? Now, he had actually spent over 10,000 gold on the reward for You Yue! More than 10,000 gold! That year, my brother spent over 20 years of hard work and effort before getting this amount, but he was ready to give it away. "Ji Rong looked at Qing Shi," Sternly saying, all the inheritances left behind by your parents do not belong to your own brother. You should have a part too! "
