However, this thousand and five hundred spiritual stones should’ve been everything Gu Bei had. After all, spiritual stones were still extremely rare, not to mention the fact that Gu Bei also required a large amount for his own cultivation.
Nie Li took out five hundred spiritual stones from the interspatial ring and returned the ring and its remaining contents to Gu Bei. “On your job posting, you said that the reward was only one thousand spiritual stones. I still haven’t completely cured your sister’s illness either, so I’ll just start by taking five hundred. Let’s wait until I’ve cured your sister’s illness, then you guys can give me the rest!”
Gu Bei received the interspatial ring and looked at Nie Li with grateful eyes. There was no way he could ever repay Nie Li’s favor!
“Nie Li, Lu Piao, from now on, you’re my brothers!” Gu Bei looked at Nie Li and Lu Piao as he said in a serious tone.
“Damn, so that means that up until now, you never saw us as brothers!” Lu Piao couldn’t help sounding out in indignation as he stood to the side.
“I didn’t mean it that way!” Gu Bei immediately waved his hand as he explained.
As she watched the three straightforward youths, Gu Lan couldn’t help showing a trace of a smile on her face. It’d been a long time since she’d been this happy. She’d always thought that her illness was incurable, so she’d gradually sealed away her heart. That is, until today. At last, she could see a trace of light in her life.
“Gu Bei, take care of your sister. We’ll go ahead and take our leave. In the future, be aware of your meals.” Nie Li said with an undertone to his words.
A chill suddenly ran through Gu Bei’s heart as he nodded, “I understand!”
Someone had been able to poison Gu Lan’s food without being caught; there was a high chance that the culprit was someone close to them.
Nie Li and Lu Piao bid their farewells to Gu Bei and Gu Lan before walking out.
