Chapter 82
Where would we find spare money to spend?
"Go away, go away my big head! In this situation, how can you still play games?" Dai Mubai glared at Ma Hongjun in annoyance.
Ma Hongjun's eyes darted around, and he muttered, "It's precisely because of this kind of thing that I need to go to the Hundred Flowers Courtyard to relax. If I hadn't experienced something so thrilling, I wouldn't even want to relax."
Dai Mubai glared at him again, "Go yourself if you want to!"
Ma Hongjun exclaimed and quickly grabbed Dai Mubai's arm. "No, no, Boss Dai, come with me! I can let you have Ru Hua today, I promise I won't order Ru Hua, okay?"
Dai Mubai pushed him away with disdain, "What do you mean, 'Ru Hua'? All you see is Ru Hua. My taste isn't that bad. Stay away from me, don't let your bad taste affect me!"
As he spoke, he immediately told Ma Hongjun to step back.
Ma Hongjun clicked his tongue a few times. "Brother Dai, what are you saying? Zhu Qing hasn't been here these past few days, and it's not like we've been there before. Why are you so disgusted? Don't forget, the top courtesan at Baihua Courtyard is still waiting for you. If I remember correctly, her first night auction is in a few days. Are you sure you don't want to go?"
The top courtesan at Baihuayuan?
Oscar, who had been listening nearby, suddenly jumped in and said, "I heard that the top courtesan at the Hundred Flowers Courtyard is incredibly beautiful, Fatty, have you seen her?"
"No." Ma Hongjun shook his head and shrugged. "I wish I had seen her. Just seeing her once would cost a lot of gold soul coins. Do I look like a rich person?"
Oscar nodded in agreement, then turned to Dai Mubai. After carefully analyzing the meaning behind Ma Hongjun's words, he asked Dai Mubai, "Boss Dai, have you met him before?"
Oscar chuckled lewdly, though he was really just curious to see what was going on.
When Dai Mubai was looked at and asked such a question, he was immediately speechless. He had indeed seen that so-called top courtesan, and he had spent a fortune to meet her. On that occasion, he could only look at her face and drink some wine; he couldn't do anything else. He even felt like he had lost out.
Clearing his throat, Dai Mubai said with a serious expression, "Fatty, what are you yelling about? What top courtesan? Don't talk nonsense!"
Xiao Wu is still here. He can't afford to be caught red-handed, or he'll lose everything he's got in his grasp!
Ma Hongjun looked at Dai Mubai with a knowing look, "Alright, since you're not going, Boss Dai, I'll go by myself!"
After saying that, he turned around, then suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Oscar, "Little Oscar, are you going or not?"
Oscar flatly refused, saying, "I don't have the money, I'm not going."
Who has that kind of spare money to spend? He's not a rich kid.
"What do you mean you don't have money? It's not expensive. It only costs a dozen or so copper soul coins for a night. You can just choose an unknown one!" Ma Hongjun winked at him with a lewd smile.
Oscar rolled his eyes at him and waved his hand. "I said I'm not going, and that's final. If you want to go, go yourself. I'm not interested!"
Although he sometimes makes lewd jokes, he's not really that bold when it comes to actually doing them, especially talking about going to a brothel in front of everyone. If Ning Rongrong found out, she'd probably kill him.
"Fine, fine, if neither of you are interested, then I'll go by myself!" Ma Hongjun snorted a few times, greeted Tang San and Xiao Wu, and flew away.
Tang San and Xiao Wu watched Ma Hongjun's departing figure, each lost in their own thoughts.
Xiao Wu looked down on Ma Hongjun. If Ma Hongjun weren't their partner, she would definitely give him an eight-part throw to teach him what it means to respect women.
But that's not the main point right now. The main point is whether she should choose not to stay in this academy.
"Little Three, Boss Dai, where are we going now? Back to the academy?"
Originally, the group of them left the academy to go to Qibao City to give Ning Rongrong and the others a surprise. Who knew that they would run into Ning Shu on the way, which directly disrupted their plans. Now, time is running out, and the New Year is just around the corner. The best option is to return to the academy. Regardless of what Tang San and Dai Mubai think, Oscar wants to go back to the academy.
Ning Rongrong, I didn't see her this time, and he didn't have anything else to do.
Dai Mubai nodded, agreeing with Oscar's words, and then turned his gaze to Tang San and Xiao Wu, "Xiao San, Xiao Wu, what are your plans?"
Tang San glanced at Xiao Wu, wanting to seek her opinion.
They were both homeless, so they could go anywhere, but he preferred to spend the New Year at the academy.
New year.
Xiao Wu pursed her lips.
Let's wait until after the New Year to decide whether or not to leave here.
She nodded. "Brother, I'll listen to you."
"Alright." Tang San smiled slightly. "Brother Dai, shall we go back to the academy?"
"Okay." Dai Mubai nodded. "Then let's rest well today and go back tomorrow. We'll also buy some New Year's goods for the Dean and the others."
"Um."
"."
A few days later, the Spirit Hall.
As the year drew to a close, Bibi Dong lifted her surveillance on Ning Shu, who remained in the Demon Subduing Hall and rarely ventured out. Xie Yue and Hu Liena had also stayed indoors since their last return. Bibi Dong kept Hu Liena by her side to chat, while Xie Yue spent time with Yan. The two would occasionally spar to distract themselves, but even so, Xie Yue's mind remained in turmoil, resulting in chaotic and disorganized attacks.
Seeing this, Yan stopped. He didn't want to continue. He withdrew his soul power and walked towards Xie Yue, frowning slightly. "Brother Xie Yue, what's wrong with you these past few days? Why have you been so distracted?"
"I'm sorry." Xie Yue sighed almost imperceptibly. He withdrew his soul power and sat down on the ground. "I've been thinking about something lately, but I can't figure it out, so I've been a bit distracted."
"What's wrong? What is it?" Yan looked at Xie Yue curiously. He sat down next to Xie Yue and asked, "Brother Xie Yue, is there something on your mind that's holding you back?"
Xie Yue smiled. "Of course, I'm not some heartless person. How could an ordinary person have nothing on their mind?"
Yan raised an eyebrow. "So, what's on your mind that's been holding you back for so long? Could it be Ning Shu?"
He looked at Xie Yue, who smiled and remained silent for a moment before finally nodding, "Yes, it's her."
"Hmm," Yan pursed his lips, "Brother Xieyue, you really like her, don't you?"
You like it very much?
Xie Yue was unaware.
But this is the first time he's liked someone, or perhaps it's a really big one?
Xie Yue remained silent.
Yan said, "If I can see it, there's no way A-Shu can't see it. Last time, Nana made it so clear, didn't A-Shu say anything to you?"
