Jin Yijue reached out and gently pushed Xi Mengdie away, then took out the crystal card in her hand again.
However, just as he was about to hand it over, another pair of fair hands was one step ahead of him and threw a heavy brocade pouch to him.
Jin Yijue's hand froze in mid-air as she looked at Schilling's Shadow with a frown.
The staff member was caught off guard, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and didn't lose his composure. He opened the brocade pouch, and his dark eyes were instantly filled with the color of gold.
"Miss Nine, are you planning to pay in cash?" He lifted his head and looked at Schilling's Shadow in astonishment. How did she manage to gather so much cash in such a short time?
"Count it. If there's no problem, quickly take me to the blacksmith." Schilling's Shadow smiled faintly.
"O-Okay." The staff member nodded and immediately lowered his head to count the gold coins in front of Schilling's Shadow.
The higher the amount he calculated, the darker Xi Mengdie's expression became. Her eyes were as sharp as a venomous snake's.
"Ninth Sister, how did you get so much gold coins? From what I know, the allowance that Master has given you over the past few years doesn't even add up to a thousand gold coins. How did you manage to gather such a large amount of money in such a short time?"
Her voice was cold and harsh as she questioned. She seemed to be hinting to everyone that she must have used some underhanded means. Otherwise, with her status, there was no way she could come up with such a large amount of money.
Schilling's Shadow glanced at her indifferently, then sat down under the staff's arrangement. She picked up the teacup beside her and lifted the lid slightly to remove the green stains on the surface of the tea. She lowered her head and sipped the tea with a calm expression on her face, as if she was meditating.
She clearly didn't care about Xi Mengdie at all!
Gazes from all directions, some of them were surprised, some of them were surprised, some of them were mocking, and some of them were doubtful. All of them were focused on Xi Nuoying.
Under so many gazes, under Xi Mengdie's fiery glare, she was actually able to remain so calm and composed. She was even able to drink that cup of tea in such a manner … Her mental fortitude was simply outstanding!
Some of the more experienced people couldn't help but look at her with admiration.
How could the prideful Xi Mengdie swallow her anger after being completely ignored? She was so angry that her body trembled. If it weren't for the fact that they were in public, she would've been furious and even wanted to teach Schilling's Shadow a lesson!
She clenched her fists and bit down hard on her red lips behind the veil. Resentment and hatred fermented in her heart.
"Schilling's Shadow, where did you get these gold coins from? Did you borrow them from someone? Give them back. " When Jin Yijue saw that Xi Nuoying could actually remain so calm, a faint trace of surprise flashed through his eyes. However, his handsome face quickly tensed up again, and he once again handed over the chip in his hand as if it was a matter of course.
"Don't be so stubborn. If Xi Home leader finds out, he won't be happy about it."
The crystal card was right in front of Schilling's Shadow's eyes.
However, she pretended not to see it and continued drinking her tea. She truly didn't care about the two people in front of her at all.
Yes, she ignored their existence. It didn't matter if one of them was mocking her or the other was trying to curry favor with her. She didn't care about them at all.
In the end, she even closed her eyes in front of everyone, and a faint languid aura spread out from her.
