A Twist of Fate

The moment Lin Xiao took out the three Thunder Talismans, a glint of light flashed in Qin Yanan's eyes, who had been hesitant.

She noticed this person because she found one of these runes in the yard.

She has already submitted the rune to the higher-ups for research.

Although there are still no results, a talisman that even those above cannot decipher for the time being must be extremely valuable.

Therefore, when Lin Xiao took out three more Thunder Talismans, Qin Yanan subconsciously reached out to take them.

However, she suddenly stopped halfway through reaching out her hand.

That jade pendant alone is worth millions.

Now, this person has produced three more mysterious runes, so his request must be quite substantial.

Could it be that I guessed wrong?

This person actually wants to borrow 1 billion from me?

……

Lin Xiao, of course, had no idea what Qin Yanan was thinking.

The only valuable things he has left, besides the intact tiger skin, are these three runes.

Tiger skins are prohibited items; the consequences of taking them out are unpredictable!

In this way, only these three Thunder Talismans remain.

Moreover, although these three Thunder Talismans were quite powerful, Lin Xiao was unable to use them.

Since that's the case, it's better to mortgage it.

As for the Thunder Talisman, I'll have plenty of opportunities to get my hands on it later!

For now, it's best to resolve the immediate crisis first.

At worst, I can just lower my standards.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao looked at Qin Yanan, who was hesitant, and said, "How about this, I'll use these three Thunder Qi Talismans as collateral, and I won't ask for ten thousand anymore. Miss Qin, just lend me five thousand first..."

"What?! Five, five thousand?"

Qin Yanan, who was still hesitating, couldn't help but slightly open her red lips upon hearing Lin Xiao's words.

Seeing Qin Yanan's astonished gaze, Lin Xiao looked somewhat troubled: "If it really doesn't work, four thousand will do. I can pay you back tomorrow."

Seeing that her behavior seemed to have caused a misunderstanding, Qin Yanan couldn't help but shake her head repeatedly and say:

"No, no... Brother Lin, you've misunderstood. It's not that I'm reluctant to part with it, it's just... oh well, never mind..."

After stammering for a long time and still not knowing how to explain, Qin Yanan finally took out her phone and opened her private Tianxin account.

The next moment, Lin Xiao's phone rang.

Lin Xiao took out his phone and was immediately shocked by the message notification on Tianxin!

[A deposit of 100000.00 yuan has been made into your bank card ending in XXXX, leaving a balance of 105225.00 yuan.]

Looking at the notification on his phone that the money had arrived, Lin Xiao's heart pounded wildly.

Looking up at Qin Yanan with a surprised expression, he stammered, "Miss Qin, isn't this too much? I only wanted ten thousand yuan."

It wasn't that Lin Xiao disliked having too much money; after all, he had only spent 198 yuan to buy the Thunder Talisman.

After using a few in the game, I now have three left.

Moreover, this Thunder Talisman seems unable to be used in the real world.

The other party had already given me a lot of face by spending 10,000 yuan to buy my broken jade pendant last time.

Now, these three Thunder Talismans, which are even more powerful than before, have actually been lent to him for 100,000 yuan.

How could Lin Xiao accept the 100,000 yuan with peace of mind?

Qin Yanan suppressed her excitement, wondering what this person was thinking.

Why do you keep giving yourself away with this kind of treasure in this way?

Could it be that the other person has taken a liking to me?

Besides that, Qin Yanan really couldn't understand why the other party would send her treasures in this way time and time again.

These treasures are top-grade even in some families of cultivators.

Of course, she also secretly wondered whether the other party was unaware of its value.

But she quickly nipped the thought in the bud.

These are things that ordinary people simply cannot access.

Those who have access to it are not unaware of cultivation practices.

But according to the investigation, this person seems to be just an ordinary person.

The fact that this person can suddenly produce so many things suggests that he must have had some other extraordinary encounter.

It is said that some ordinary people occasionally stumble into ancient secret realms and obtain immortal inheritances.

It seems that Lin Xiao has also obtained a secret realm inheritance.

That's why they were able to bring out so many treasures.

As for why it would be given away to me for free in this way, I guess it's just because it has taken a liking to me.

This wasn't because Qin Yanan was arrogant.

However, over the years, she has long been used to it because of her appearance.

Those scions of powerful families would offer me any kind of trash just to curry favor with me.

The reason she came from the power center of Kyoto to this magical city to become a person in charge was not only to gain experience, but also to get rid of those annoying scions of aristocratic families.

Thinking of this, Qin Yanan couldn't help but take another look at the person in front of her.

Lin Xiao, standing before me, was dressed in simple casual clothes, his hair was a little messy, and his face still carried a hint of youthful innocence.

His eyes were clear, without the greasiness and arrogance of those scions of wealthy families, but instead possessed a purity and sincerity.

Compared to those wealthy young men who spend lavishly just to win her a smile.

Lin Xiao's "clumsiness" gave her a strange feeling.

He clearly had a priceless treasure, which he wanted to give to himself.

They even came up with the excuse of borrowing money, as if they were afraid of making things difficult for themselves.

This sight brought a touch of warmth to Qin Yanan's heart.

After thinking it through, Qin Yanan couldn't help but smile faintly.

Even his tone softened considerably, concealing his slightly agitated feelings, as he said, "Brother Lin, it's not much, not at all. You don't need to repay this 100,000; consider this a favor I owe you."

"But……"

Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, scratched his head, and wondered what the situation was.

Seeing that Lin Xiao was still talking, Qin Yanan waved her hand slightly and said, "There are no 'buts'. In short, I understand Brother Lin's feelings. But..."

At this point, Qin Yanan hesitated slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she continued, "As for your feelings, please forgive me for not being able to agree to them right now. Let's spend some more time together in the future and then we can talk about it."

Lin Xiao, who was already somewhat confused, became even more confused after hearing Qin Yanan's words.

However, seeing the other party's serious expression, Lin Xiao didn't say anything more.

Anyway, the 100,000 yuan has now arrived in the account.

At worst, I can just retrieve the items and sell them myself, then return them to the other party later.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao glanced at the three Thunder Talismans that Qin Yanan was holding tightly in her hand, then stood up and said, "In that case, we'll do as Miss Qin says."

Unaware that they had misunderstood each other, the two chatted about everyday matters for a while longer.

Feeling anxious, Lin Xiao took the initiative to say goodbye and returned to her room downstairs.

Lin Xiao immediately turned on his phone, ready to retrieve the items and sell them.
