Chapter 222 Gold Jade 14

On the way to Wu Yixiu's house, Lin Qingyue asked how to continue completing the Dust-Breaking System mission.

The Dust-Breaking System was silent for a moment, and then with a ding-dong sound, Lin Qingyue saw a progress bar behind the Golden Silk Jade mission, showing 20%.

"There's nothing we can do. Old Man Ju is dead. So the only thing we can do is let the system test whether the golden jade you made is up to standard."

After examining Wen Lingyun's injuries, Lin Qingyue left Wu Yixiu's house and asked the neighbor to borrow a kitchen.

The aunt asked her, "Are you hungry? Let me cook you a bowl of noodles."

"No, just borrow it for a cup of tea."

Lin Qingyue handed over ten taels of silver, but the aunt refused to accept it.

"You can use it. It's not worth much. Do you want anything else? I'm afraid there's nothing on the stove."

"I brought it myself." Seeing that she refused to accept it, Lin Qingyue didn't say anything and put the money away. She looked at the aunt again and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. I won't bother you anymore."

The time it takes to drink a cup of tea is neither long nor short.

It wasn't long before Lin Qingyue returned to the Wu family and Wen Lingyun didn't wake up. It wasn't short before Lin Qingyue finished making the golden jade and had time to take out a piece of candy given by Old Man Ju and lick it carefully in his mouth.

"Passed." Dust-Breaking System said, "Why do I feel like you cheated?"

Lin Qingyue: "If it's Old Man Ju, this is definitely not up to standard, because the golden jade I made is just an empty shell, empty inside."

[Ding Dong! The progress bar of the mission "Golden Jade" has reached 100%. The mission is completed. The mission points have been sent to the host's email address. Please check it!]

Lin Qingyue yawned and stood up. "Another 12 points. Pochen, I've actually been wanting to ask you a question. Why does the quest "Beauty Isn't Beauty" also give 10 points? It's considered a medium-length quest, right?"

Dust-Breaking System: "It's very simple, because I took it away."

Lin Qingyue: "Give it back to me."

Dust-Breaking System: "This is the rule. I can deduct your points for the novice missions. After all, we still have to guide the newbies. Who would guide the newbies if we don't give them more points?"

Seeing that her request was fruitless, Lin Qingyue ate the exquisite gold jade on the table, put the ten taels of silver in the pot, and flashed back to Wu Yixiu's house.

After all this trouble, it took less than a cup of tea to get back to Wu Yixiu's house. Wu Yixiu was shocked by her.

"How did you get in through the window?"

Lin Qingyue pointed at the window and said, "I saw that your windows were not installed, so I thought it was convenient for entering and exiting, so I jumped in directly."

Wu Yixiu was speechless and muttered, "You can't come in through the window either. I left the door open for you..."

"How is Wen Lingyun?"

Lin Qingyue walked in front, and Wu Yixiu followed behind her.

"He's almost recovered, but the medicine is a bit strong. It will take at least three days for him to wake up."

Lin Qingyue: "Let's add a five-color mirror."

Doctor Wu was about to separate from Lin Qingyue at the corner to take care of other patients. Hearing this, he looked at Lin Qingyue in confusion: "I have been here for decades. You can come to me anytime."

Lin Qingyue: "I know you are here, but I still think it would be safer to add you. After all, Wen Lingyun still needs your care now."

After saying that, she took out a five-colored mirror and ten spirit stones and handed them over.

Wu Yixiu rubbed his fingers, his eyes hesitant. "I think it's necessary to add it, so that I can communicate with you about your brother's condition at any time."

"Thank you, I have something else to do so I'll leave first."

Lin Qingyue nodded, added the five-color mirror, and turned to leave.

Not long after Lin Qingyue left, Wu Yixiu's door was opened by an aunt nearby.

"Auntie, why are you here? Are you injured?"

The aunt held up ten taels of silver and said, "No, just now a girl came to use my kitchen and gave me ten taels of silver. I thought it might be a patient of yours, so I came to find that girl and return the money."

Doctor Wu thought of the time when Lin Qingyue had just disappeared. He pushed the silver into the aunt's arms and said, "This is given to you by someone. Just accept it. If you bother them again, it might make them unhappy."

"That girl is a sword cultivator. She left here a long time ago to exorcise demons. You won't see her if you wait here."

Wu Yixiu is so smart. Lin Qingyue must have wanted to give him the Five-Colored Mirror because she couldn't come back to see Wen Lingyun in time, so he made up this story based on his own guess.

Auntie: "No, she doesn't use anything from my house. Ten taels of silver is too much."

Wu Yixiu walked out: "I told you to keep it for yourself. I have to go take care of the patients. Auntie, you can go home."

The aunt failed to catch up with Wu Yixiu, so she had to give up and carefully hid the silver in her arms, as if holding a precious object.

"What can you do with ten taels of silver?"

The interstellar citizen in the barrage asked Lin Qingyue, and Lin Qingyue thought for a moment: "Probably the amount that people in the county chew in a year, and people in the village chew in a year."

[Why don't the anchors give more? I feel like they're all having a hard time.]

[If we go by Interstellar standards, we are all paupers.]

There's no point in comparing like that. As the saying goes, happiness is determined by comparison. Different standards of comparison lead to different happiness.

Where is the anchor going?

Lin Qingyue passed by an old tree, and the wind whistled.

"Go to the county government office."

……

In the cell, Jiao Ruoxing was lying in a pile of straw, like a dead man, with wounds all over his body and flies buzzing around him.

Footsteps sounded, and Jiao Ruoxing raised his head. Seeing that it was Lin Qingyue, he lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Do you want to see me in such embarrassment?"

"No." Lin Qingyue shook his head, and a faint spiritual power wrapped around Jiao Ruoxing.

It's very shallow, and people who are not at a higher level than her cannot detect it at all.

"I'm only here to make sure there's no substitution. After all, Lin Qiushi is going to watch your execution tomorrow, and I can't let anything go wrong."

Jiao Ruoxing: "I'm already like this, and you still won't let me go."

Lin Qingyue sat on the stool and said sharply, "Don't act like you're a victim. Do you believe I'll send you to hell right now?"

Jiao Ruoxing shut up. The crime he committed had already been decided. He would be torn into pieces by five horses tomorrow afternoon.

……

……

On the day of the festival, Lin Qingyue was called over by the servant of the county magistrate to discuss where to stand.

As soon as Lin Qingyue came back, Jiao Ruoxing was dragged to the execution ground, with ropes tied around his hands, feet, and head, and tied up by a fierce horse.

With a whistle, the object shattered into pieces, white, red and pink, and shot to the ground, already severely deformed.

Lin Qingyue and Lin Qiushi, who was held in his mother's arms, looked at each other, their eyes filled with biting cold wind.

Damn that fat guy! How dare he lie to her!
