Chapter 717: Spendthrift Spending Easily
Fu Huayi stood there sadly, and the guardians also stayed until Ling Chuxi’s carriage was quite far away.
“It’s rare that this brat is so kind. This Jade Heart Pill is truly comparable to the price of a city. Even in sects, they are not common. I wonder where she found all those herbs.” Looking at the carriage that was disappearing into the distance, Mo Kongyuan stroked his beard, both touched and gratified as he held the porcelain bottle.
“Yes, the little brat is truly not bad. Her personality is good, her innate talent is good, and she is also very generous.” Xie Wuji and the rest praised her continuously. They were all in a good mood after receiving Ling Chuxi’s pills, so they were full of compliments for her.
Hearing their praises, Mo Kongyuan’s heart felt sated and content. Even praising himself would not necessarily be so gratifying.
When they returned to his house, Mo Kongyuan’s housekeeper Uncle Chai approached him timidly, looking like he was about to cry. “Mister, the… the herbs in your pill refinement room have been emptied…”
“What? The herbs that she used were all mine?!” Mo Kongyuan’s jaw dropped, and he finally realized how she had refined those valuable pills. That little brat had used up all his precious babies! Mo Kongyuan’s expression was even uglier than a crying person’s.
“Yes, everything is gone. There is nothing there anymore.” Uncle Chai nodded solemnly.
“That wicked brat! She used so many herbs but only refined so few pills? All those herbs I collected over the past decades while traveling are gone just like that!” Mo Kongyuan stomped his foot, looking very upset. Suddenly, he stopped and turned to Xie Wuji and the others abruptly. “Those pills were made from my herbs, there’s no way I can let you all have them for free! Give them back!”
“You’re dreaming! These were given to us by little Chuxi, what does it have to do with you?!” Xie Wuji immediately held the porcelain bottle tightly.
“Are you retuning it or not?” Mo Kongyuan huffed angrily and glared at them jealously. Those pills were refined using his herbs! His!
“No way. What are you glaring at me for? Do you dare hit me? If you think you can, then come at me!” Xie Wuji glared back at him defiantly.
“I will, and there’s nothing you can do about it!” Mo Kongyuan roared and immediately charged at Xie Wuji.
“You old geezer, you really dare!” Xie Wuji rolled up his sleeves and aimed a punch at Mo Kongyuan.
“Brother Mo, Brother Xie, don’t fight, let’s discuss this properly.” Lin Cangbo anxiously went forward to mediate.
“That’s right, you have a bottle too! Return it to me immediately!” Mo Kongyuan turned to Lin Cangbo furiously, finding a new target.
“What? We have been brothers for decades but you still want to take mine…” Lin Cangbo instantly regretted his decision. If he had known earlier, he would have taken the opportunity to sneak away while the two were exchanging blows.
“Nonsense! Do you have any idea how much time and effort I spent to gather all those herbs? That wicked brat actually used them all in one go! Return them to me now, or don’t blame me for what happens next!” Mo Kongyuan exclaimed indignantly.
“Brother Mo, Brother Lin, don’t fight!” Seeing that the two people were about to start fighting, Mister Cao and Mister Wu immediately rushed over. In the end, they were pulled into the fight too.
Very quickly, the five guardians became like children fighting over toys, all bundled into one chaotic battle.
“Achoo!” In the carriage, Ling Chuxi sneezed.
“What’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable? Did you catch a cold last night?” Ling Yichen asked in concern.
“No, I guess someone must be praising me,” Ling Chuxi said nonchalantly, rubbing her nose as she glanced behind her.

Meanwhile, Qing Lingyan had also arrived somewhere.
