Liu Ling smiled and said: "Good things can't be counted on, but the things sold inside are definitely much better than those in the streets."

  Lin Qingyao knew that Liu Ling came from a large sect, so ordinary things were definitely not worth looking at. Although Liu Ling didn't think the black market goods were particularly good, Lin Qingyao was still very expectant.

  Lin Qingyao thought to herself, the streets are so hard to get into, I suppose that's why this black market is called a black market, it's definitely not somewhere ordinary people can just enter.

  Lin Qingyao looked at the somewhat distracted girl in front of her and asked: "Sister, have you ever been to the black market?"

  Liu Ling said casually, "I've been there!" Her tone was calm, as if the place she went to was just an ordinary vegetable market.

  Liu Ling felt Lin Qingyao's overly eager gaze, turned around and curiously asked: "Junior sister, are you thinking of going to the black market to buy something?"

  Lin Qingyao nodded and then said with difficulty: "However, the black market is not a place where anyone can enter."

  Liu Ling heard this and patted her chest, saying: "If Master wants to go, I'll take care of this matter."

  Lin Qingyao looked at Liu Ling with emotion, having such a senior sister to cover for her made everything so much more convenient.

  At noon, Lin Qingyao took Liu Ling and Wu Mei with her. As for Wu Mei, she really needed to buy a few more clothes.

  Wu Mei had been cautious and timid since she came to Liu Hutong, afraid of offending the family and being driven out.

  For someone like Wu Mei, Lin Qingyao decided to enlighten her as much as possible and then lead her into the Cultivation Realm. After all, Wu Mei was a genuine talent with a Heavenly Spirit Root, and having her join this small Cloud Gate would be a waste of her talent.

  Thinking so, Lin Qingyao put a few more thoughts on Wu Mei.

  In a large shopping mall in Chengdu, as it was approaching the end of the year, there were more and more people.

  Liu Ling was forced by Lin Qingyao to wear normal human clothes... Well, in Liu Ling's opinion, those thick-skinned humans were the abnormal ones.

  However, in order not to draw attention, Lin Qingyao still let Liu Ling wear her own clothes. Wu Mei was a bit taller and bigger than Lin Qingyao, so wearing Lin Qingyao's clothes wasn't very suitable, so she continued to wear her own tattered old clothes.

  Lin Qingyao, Liu Ling, and Wu Mei are all standard beauties, even if they dress very low-key. Such a beautiful group of women will always have a high rate of turning heads wherever they go.

  Liu Ling looked at this and that, interested in everything. She grew up in Danxia Sect and rarely went down the mountain. Even when she did go down the mountain, most of the people she met were cultivators, so it was rare for her to see such a lively place.

  There was a very discerning waiter who saw that the clothes Lin Qingyao and Liu Ling were wearing were not cheap, so he eagerly followed them.

  If she can persuade these two beauties to buy more things, she can also get a higher commission and have a good New Year.

  As for Wu Mei, she had long been neglected and was treated as a servant in both families.

  "Two ladies, I don't know what kind of clothes you want to choose?" The waiter asked eagerly.

  Wu Mei felt somewhat constrained, and her face suddenly flushed red.

  Lin Qingyao realized this and pulled Wu Mei over, saying clearly to the salesperson: "Help her pick out a few years' worth of suitable clothes."

  The waitress was stunned, looking at Wu Mei with a hint of confusion on her face, but soon she saw Lin Qingyao's clear and genuine eyes, so she quickly gestured to a white coat next to her and introduced: "This beautiful lady's temperament is very suitable for wearing this coat."

  She doesn't care about the woman in front of her, whether she's wearing tattered clothes or not, whether she can afford such clothes or not. With a wealthy patron like that by her side, she won't have to think so much anymore.

  Wu Mei was also stunned, nervously glanced at Lin Qingyao and nervously called out: "Sister..."

  Lin Qingyao pinched Wu Me's hand, conveying a reassuring thought to her, and said: "Like what you say, the master sister will buy it back for you." It was just a little material thing, she could still afford it.

  Wu Mei took the clothes from the waiter's hand, still turning her head to glance at Lin Qingyao.

  Under Lin Qingyao's encouraging gaze, she put on her clothes. Since they were originally very thin, there was no need to take off the inside clothes, and she could just wear them directly.

  When Wu Mei was putting on the clothes, she suddenly saw the four-digit price tag and her hand shook, then she wanted to take off the clothes.

  "Sister, this dress is too expensive!" Wu Mei said with a wave of her hand.

  Before Lin Qingyao could speak, Liu Ling smiled: "Wu Shijie, you're too polite, today Lin Shijie brought us out to stroll around the streets, so don't try to save her money."

  Saying that, Liu Ling looked at Lin Qingyao with a smile and said: "Junior sister, you can't be thick-skinned in this matter. The things I bought today will also have to be paid by you!"

  Lin Qingyao looked at Liu Ling with gratitude, this little girl looks innocent and simple, but she's actually very cunning.

  This isn't right, seeing Wu Mei's unease in her heart, so she hurriedly pulled Wu Mei into her own camp, saying that the two of them would together sponge off Lin Qingyao's money to spend.

  Lin Qingyao smiled and helped Wu Mei put on her clothes, saying in a very pleasant voice: "Good, good, good, you see what you want, I'll buy it all for you today."

  Saying so, Lin Qingyao turned to Wu Mei and said: "I am your senior sister, taking care of you is what I should do."

  The waitress listened to the sisters calling each other, feeling quite strange, but the clever her chose not to ask anything. She deeply knew that her duty was just selling clothes, and there was no need to care about other things.

  Wu Mei finally buttoned up her clothes, and a pair of eyes had already welled up with tears. In this lifetime, she never thought that she would wear such beautiful and expensive clothes.

  At first, in the village, she also looked forward to marrying a good family and living a good life. However, she only hoped that she could marry into a family where she would not have to worry about food and clothing, and would not be mistreated. She never thought of marrying into a wealthy or noble family.

  Later, her stepmother and biological father wanted to marry her off to an old cripple in order to pay for her brother's tuition fees and buy a computer, she thought that her life was ruined.

  What happened later on was even more miserable than when I was in the village.

  At this moment, Qing Yao Shijie not only saved her from the brink of disaster but also treated her so well, how could she not be moved in her heart?

  Lin Qingyao didn't know that her small action would move Wu Mei to this extent.

  After all, this amount of money is really nothing for a cultivator, buying a bunch of things doesn't even add up to one spirit stone!

  A person relies on their clothes, a horse relies on its saddle. Wu Mei was originally slender and elegant, even when wearing the simplest of clothes, people would think she's quite good-looking. Now that she's dressed up in nice clothes, it's as if she's been reborn.

  "Wu Shimei looks great in this outfit!" Liu Ling said at the right moment.

  Wu Mei's face suddenly flushed with two red clouds, and her whole person seemed like a peach blossom that had just opened.

  Lin Qingyao nodded, apparently very satisfied with the clothes, and said: "Wrap it up, let's choose a few more."

  "No need, no need!" Wu Mei hastily waved her hand and said. The clothes here are so expensive, she can wear one, it's already very grateful to the teacher sister, where can she continue to buy?

  Lin Qingyao raised her head and saw a dark blue coat hanging high up, thinking it should fit Wu Mei, so she pointed at the clothes and said: "Take this one down too."

  The salesperson hesitated for a moment, then took that piece of clothing. This piece of clothing isn't cheap at all... nor does she know what kind of relationship this poor girl has with the rich young lady, to be so generous... The salesperson couldn't help but mutter to herself.

  "Bring me that piece of clothing!" a shrill voice rang out.

  The waiter was stunned and then pointed at Lin Qingyao and others, saying: "This dress, these few ladies have taken a liking to it..."

  A woman wearing luxurious brand-name clothes and a precious jade stone around her neck, with a big belly, looked in the direction of Lin Qingyao.

  When she saw Lin Qingyao's delicate face, her expression turned dark in an instant. She exchanged a glance with a woman who looked to be in her thirties standing beside her.

  He then said firmly: "This dress, I bought it, some poor people can't even afford it after trying it on!"

  This sentence has a very strong implication.

  Lin Qingyao gazed coldly at the two women in front of her, who were none other than Dai Li and Zhao Mu, the woman who had driven her away back then.

  "This... these three ladies, I don't know if you can... this dress is a limited edition, there's only one piece." The waitress said with difficulty, both sides looked like big spenders and she couldn't afford to offend either of them, so she had no choice but to negotiate with Lin Qingyao and the others who seemed more approachable.

  Before Lin Qingyao could speak, Liu Ling suddenly exploded: "This dress, we must buy it!"

  What made her speak with such anger? Liu Ling also saw that the two women were targeting Lin Qingyao, but in Liu Ling's eyes, Lin Qingyao being bullied was just like she herself being bullied, how could she tolerate it?

  Lin Qingyao also spoke up: "This piece of clothing, we really have to buy it now."

  "Auntie..." Dali still got used to calling Zhao Mu "Auntie", this way she would feel that she and Zhao Mu were closer, and Zhao Mu wouldn't treat her with the standards of a daughter-in-law, but instead as a niece to dote on.

  Zhao's mother looked at Dali with loving eyes, then walked forward and said to Lin Qingyao: "I'm also considered a senior, so today you should give me some face and let this dress be given to Dali."

  Face? Elder? Lin Qingyao sneered and said to Zhao Mu, "When you asked me to leave the Zhao family back then, you yourself said that we would have nothing to do with each other from now on. How can you still consider yourself my elder now?"
