Mu Shiyue didn't have much to say about this.
She wasn't born into a wealthy life.
In her first life, she was just an ordinary person without money.
—If she had had money, she wouldn't need to work everywhere.
In her second life, because of her outstanding talent, she had been cherished in the Mu Family's palm and lived a prosperous life.
However, the frugal life of her first life still left some imprint in her bones.
So no matter how much money she had, she didn't like wasting.
Her principle was to be diligent and thrifty when managing the household.
Now that her disciples were so frugal, she supported that.
Besides, Ke Chongbo's robe was neither torn nor old, it was still perfectly fine. Why should it be discarded?
She had previously heard Qin Yiwei and the others mention that Ke Chongbo's robes cost several mid-grade spirit stones.
If resold, they could exchange them for quite a bit of money.
Although the sect now had many more spirit stones and various treasures, everyone had come from hard days, so they would naturally cherish things.
Moreover, although they frequently obtained many items, with several disciples using them together, they would eventually be used up.
They couldn't simply sit and eat away their reserves.
The Ke brothers had no idea how poor Wanxuan Sect had once been.
Seeing Qin Yiwei so serious, Ke Chongbo actually took the robe out of his storage pouch and handed it to her.
"I'll sell the robe and then give you the money," Qin Yiwei said.
"No need!" Ke Chongbo immediately shook his head. "You keep the money. I was going to throw it away anyway. Consider it my expenses for staying here."
He had stayed here for several days already and had consumed quite a bit of food and drink.
If calculated properly, that robe wasn't even enough to cover what he had eaten and used here!
Sect Master Mu was too generous!
"Alright." Qin Yiwei also didn't argue with him.
After the matter of the robe was settled, Ke Chongbo finally paid attention to his elder brother.
"Big Brother, why did you suddenly come? Did something happen?"
"Nothing." Ke Chongzhen shook his head, though the expression on his face didn't agree.
"Are you sure?" Ke Chongbo frowned.
"In any case, I didn't come to see you." Ke Chongzhen directly pushed his younger brother aside.
Ke Chongbo: "…"
I don't want this elder brother anymore!
Mu Shiyue, however, noticed his expression and raised a brow, "You came to find me for something?"
Although Ke Chongzhen was over a hundred years old and had high cultivation, he had devoted himself to cultivation wholeheartedly, so his life experience was still insufficient, he was still rather simple.
His thoughts were almost written on his face. How could Mu Shiyue not see?
When she asked this, his face immediately flushed red.
"No, not… I, I…"
His face reddened completely, his gaze drifting, not daring to look at Mu Shiyue.
It wasn't because of romantic feelings, but because he felt embarrassed to bring up his request so quickly.
He had come this time for the matter of contracting a spirit beast. Originally, he had planned to stay a few days and then find an opportunity to bring it up.
After all, to arrive and immediately make such a request would be somewhat abrupt.
He had never asked anyone for help before. Being called out so directly made him blush instantly.
"Hm? What do you want?" Mu Shiyue raised a brow, looking at him with amusement.
Ke Chongzhen looked good. He had fixed his appearance at around twenty-seven or twenty-eight.
Moreover, there was still a faint flush on his face, making him look youthful and shy, drawing one to look twice.
Mu Shiyue had a high tolerance for good-looking people. Otherwise, Ke Chongzhen wouldn't have been able to freely eat and drink here.
Ke Chongzhen and Ke Chongbo were born of the same mother; their appearances were somewhat similar but had their own distinct charm. Mu Shiyue found them pleasing to the eye.
Besides petting the cubs, another one of her hobbies was looking at handsome men and beautiful women.
Very pleasing to the eyes!
Ke Chongzhen was so embarrassed by Mu Shiyue's gaze that he felt restless and ill at ease.
"Ying!"
It was Little Sesame, who had woken and come over, that broke his embarrassment.
His muddled mind finally cleared.
He quickly released his Dark Scarlet Bell Deer from the Beast Dwelling Ring.
"Yo-yo~"
The Dark Scarlet Bell Deer came out of the Beast Dwelling Ring and was immediately frightened by the people and beasts present.
Originally, it had been staying comfortably in the Beast Dwelling Ring, where it was alone.
But here there were so many two-legged beasts and large spirit beasts!
Especially the fierce pressure of the Soul-Devouring Tiger and the Iron-Eating Beast, it made its ears stand straight up in fear.
"Ta Xue…"
"Yo-yo—"
The little deer had no time to respond to him. It immediately cried out and rushed toward the person it felt safest with.
"Hey!"
Mu Shiyue caught the little Dark Scarlet Bell Deer, slightly stunned.
"Yo-yo~" The little deer burrowed into Mu Shiyue's arms, trembling with fear.
This place is so frightening!
The auras here are too ferocious!
Especially when it smelled the scent of the Soul-Devouring Tiger coming out of the room, it was so frightened that tears came to its eyes.
Seeing the little deer frightened to tears, Mu Shiyue's heart immediately softened.
"It's alright, it's alright. Don't be afraid."
Not only Mu Shiyue, even the others looked at the little deer with sympathy.
The little deer wasn't large, only reaching Mu Shiyue's waist. Its body was slender, covered with beautiful patterns.
Its eyes were large and black, its appearance timid, its cries soft, like a gentle young girl.
"Hu Niu, go back," Mu Shiyue called out to the snarling Hu Niu.
Only then did Ke Chongzhen notice that the Soul-Devouring Tiger had come out!
After driving those people away earlier, the Soul-Devouring Tiger had grumbled at Mu Shiyue for a while.
He didn't know what it had said, but Mu Shiyue had directly rejected its unreasonable request.
In the end, it had entered a room and even shut the door!
The sound of the door closing had been loud, and Mu Shiyue had scolded it again.
After being scolded, it had quieted down.
He didn't expect it to appear again now.
Looking at the Dark Scarlet Bell Deer trembling in fear, Ke Chongzhen couldn't help cursing himself for being careless.
There's a big tiger here!
Releasing the little deer just like this, wasn't he badly frightening it?
After being reprimanded by Mu Shiyue, Hu Niu let out a low growl, which made the little deer tremble even more.
"Three, two…"
Before "one" could be spoken, Hu Niu had already withdrawn its head with a whoosh.
Bang!
The door was slammed shut again.
Ke Chongzhen: "…"
Mu Shiyue ignored the sulking Hu Niu and patted the little deer, "It's alright now. Don't be afraid."
"Yo-yo~"
"Zhi zhi zhi!"
The Treasure-Seeking Mouse crawled out from Mu Shiyue's pocket and onto her shoulder, chattering at the Dark Scarlet Bell Deer.
"Treasure-Seeking Mouse?!"
Previously, Ke Chongzhen had only known there was a small mouse, but now he finally clearly saw it.
And he was shocked.
It's actually a Treasure-Seeking Mouse!
At that moment, he finally understood what spirit beast Dong Xunchang and the others had been looking for.
It had to be this Treasure-Seeking Mouse!
"Zhi zhi zhi~"
The Treasure-Seeking Mouse, however, had no time to give Ke Chongzhen a glance. It continued chirping at the little deer, occasionally jumping excitedly on Mu Shiyue's shoulder.
It looked extremely excited.
Ke Chongzhen stepped forward, wanting to take the little deer back.
But the little deer knocked his hand aside and nestled deeper into Mu Shiyue's arms.
Ke Chongzhen: "…"
