Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1637: Chapter 1617: ’Original’ Mountain and River Qi

”Take it.” Luo Qianqian generously tossed a box, flinging it into Luo Shufan’s arms. ”If you ask me, you should do this yearly so we have an income. This thing doesn’t create business revenue as high as point farming! It’s just so precious because it’s nearly nonexistent in the market.”

”That’s true. I saw last month’s bill, and the revenue increased by three hundred percent...” Luo Xinyue couldn’t help but nod, her face full of doubt as she eyed the object. Is this what they call scarcity making things valuable?

She glanced at the large chunk of Green Elf casually placed on the table by Luo Shufan and shrugged. Is this what they mean by wasting valuable resources?

They had long switched to wearing Green Elf accessories, and their home even had other colored elves, but they chose not to wear them to avoid attracting attention.

But, they’re rich and they act on a whim.

”Go ahead, and then maybe reward the person with the highest annual activity points with a piece. Points reset at the end of the year, and you can exchange for gifts from the Points Mall. Plus, different cards offer varying reward points annually, and card fees can be profitable, hehehe.” Luo Qianqian enthusiastically suggested.

Luo Xinyue looked at Luo Qianqian suspiciously; was she lacking food or clothes? Or has she simply fallen into a pit of money?

Speaking of making money, why do her eyes light up so much? Such a bright glow that it’s impossible to ignore...

”Not enough money to spend?” Luo Shufan asked skeptically, even though they didn’t care about those things. It shouldn’t be to the point where Luo Qianqian can’t even buy what she likes and has to calculate costs.

After all, his goal with Dad was to let his sister (daughter) live a happy carefree life.

”Huh? ...No, I just feel having money is better than not having any.” Luo Qianqian blinked, gesturing to the three people standing by, ”Come on, have a seat. Oh, let me pour you some water.”

”No need to bother, we’ll help ourselves.” Bai Yizhu chuckled, greeting Luo Shufan before heading to the kitchen. Despite having water on them, it’s a matter of politeness.

He was neither too close nor too distant. To call him family would be overstating; to call him an outsider would be inaccurate...

”Brother, I gotta tell you, Brother Zhuzi is so handsome, he protected me and even fainted...” She excitedly recounted to Luo Xinyue and Luo Shufan, causing the veins on their foreheads to throb, but their gaze toward Bai Yizhu was so gentle it could practically drip water.

They could hardly imagine what would happen if Luo Qianqian got hurt...

”Zhuzi...” Luo Shufan choked up, looking towards Bai Yizhu.

Bai Yizhu hurriedly jumped back, holding the cup of water and pointing at Luo Shufan, faced with confusion, ”You swallow it back down! If you tell me everything is in the water, I’ll slap you, I’ve already had two cups.”

Luo Shufan was speechless at Bai Yizhu’s interruption. His anger was spoiled in an instant. Even if one were to drink, it wouldn’t be water, right?

Drinking alcohol, however... Considering the two patients, he’s not fully healed yet. Better not flaunt and upset the little girl.

Having sworn off earlier, provoking her further might lead to some reckless behavior.

”By the way, has anyone been looking for me recently?”

Luo Shufan knew Luo Qianqian’s external social media accounts. Even if he didn’t know the password, Luo Xinyue could figure it out with him in no time.

”...Yes.” Luo Shufan rolled his eyes. ”Two classmates meeting, which I declined for you, and some pointless conversations I ignored. But someone did confess to Xiao Yu, and as she didn’t reply, they found their way to you.”

”Brother! Not only do you read mine, but you also read Xiao Yu’s?!” Luo Qianqian instantly jumped up, hands on hips, glaring angrily at Luo Shufan.

Everyone expected a storm, only to see Luo Qianqian’s gossip face, winking at him: ”Who is it?”

”...Zhang Sheng.”

”I guessed it.” Luo Qianqian pouted and pulled out a Communication Jade Slip. After all, it concerns He Wenyu; it’s better to ask, though she might be busy now.

Without waiting for He Wenyu to reply, she stashed the slip away. Such matters are best addressed in person, whether confessing, accepting, or rejecting.

So, she only notified, not as a message courier.

Luo Shufan hesitated, then cautiously looked at Luo Qianqian: ”Actually, someone confessed to you too...”

”Ah, then don’t tell me, just act like it didn’t happen.” Knowing would be awkward; Luo Qianqian wouldn’t be foolish. Let Luo Shufan worry about it.

Luo Shufan was at a loss for words. He thought she would be curious, but her indifferent attitude disappointed him.

If it were him...

If it were him, he’d be poker-faced.

After all, establish a career before starting a family. Plus, no girl has yet made him want to marry her, hide her away, feeling like even a glance from others is stealing.

The female he most cares about now is Luo Qianqian.

Still, his own sister...

”Oh, Dad, got something fun for you.” Luo Qianqian chuckled, pulling a misty blue crystal from her bosom and coyly shoving it into Luo Xinyue’s arms: ”I only brought out this one piece as a souvenir.”

”Mountain and River Qi?” Mo was taken aback, incredulously staring at Luo Qianqian. After all, she had seen six pieces of Mountain and River Qi on the platform; seeing this here was unimaginable. How did it appear here?

”Yep, when we got there, one was already there, but without anyone around, so I just used it. This piece I condensed myself.” Luo Qianqian beamed proudly.

Mo’s expression turned sour: ”You say one was already there?”

”Yeah... right?” Seeing Mo’s grim face, Luo Qianqian panicked, looking at Bai Yizhu and Huangfu Yanyao for confirmation.

Both nodded continuously.

”No one succeeded before you came out, but this implies someone went before you and didn’t come out... but why?” Mo pondered deeply, becoming increasingly serious.

Luo Qianqian sheepishly rubbed the back of her head: ”I feel like I did something wrong...”

Obediently, she sat back beside Luo Shufan. The crowd awaited Mo’s answer in unison.

”Could it be... something done by Elder Yang’s senior Yang Feng?” After much deliberation, Luo Qianqian arrived at this conclusion.

Mo was startled: ”But why didn’t he come out?”

Yes, why didn’t he come out?

No one knew the answer, like an unsolvable puzzle hanging over them, leaving them baffled.

Unknown to them, the Sect Competition centered around this piece of ’Original’ Mountain and River Qi, becoming very strange...
