Just as Qin Gong's group was about to pay the tuition fees, Zhou Danai found him. Seeing Xiaoni following beside Qin Gong, he pulled Qin Gong aside and whispered to him.
”Old Fourth, the three of us sneaked out of the village and spent almost all of our money on the journey. I'm afraid that we don't have enough to pay for the school fees, so … ”So …”
When Zhou Danai said till here, his face had already turned red like a pig's liver, and he was unable to say anything for the moment.
”Big Brother, take this for me and the three of you. Inside is the Profound Stone that the valley has given me as a reward. I still have it here after I finish using it.”
Qin Gong immediately took off the spatial ring he obtained from sweeping across the three valleys and placed it in Zhou Danai's hand.
”Old Fourth, there's no need for that. You just need to borrow the tuition fees from us. We'll think of a way to return it to you in the future!” Zhou Danai said with a red face.
”Brother, do you still think I'm your brother? Last night, when we became sworn brothers, we said that we shared good fortune and suffering together, didn't we? In the future, we don't even need to distinguish between each other.
Qin Gong's face immediately fell, he truly treated these three youths as his own brothers.
After hearing Qin Gong's words, Zhou Danai's eyes immediately turned red: ”Alright, Old Fourth, it's Big Brother's fault, I'll take the money!”
After Zhou Danai finished speaking, he turned and left. And at this moment, the society member in charge of Qin Gong's group saw that Qin Gong actually gave out a thousand Profound Stone, and his pupils contracted a little. Then, he looked at Qin Gong with eyes filled with greed.
After all, a Profound Stone was equivalent to a hundred profound coins, and a thousand Profound Stone was equivalent to a hundred thousand profound coins.
Following that, when Qin Gong was paying the tuition fees, a problem occurred.
When Qin Gong tried to summon out the Profound Stone from his own Life Space Ring, the result was that all the Profound Stone powder that appeared in his hands were just waves of Profound Stone powder.
Profound Stone were extremely hard things and could be used for cultivation. There was only one possibility for Profound Stone to turn into Profound Stone powder, and that was if the pure energy within the Profound Stone was absorbed, the Profound Stone would automatically shatter and turn into Profound Stone powder.
Xiaoni understood Qin Gong's personality, so she did not take the initiative to pay the tuition fees for Qin Gong. After a few more tries, Qin Gong finally managed to pick out eight Profound Stone s from the spatial ring.
Very soon, the admission procedures for the new students had been completed. The society gathered the youths in a group at a quiet and secluded square in the office area.
One of the old members of the society said:
”According to the rules of the society, to help the new disciples enter the valley, the two societies need to charge a labour fee of one hundred profound coins each for each student, for a total of two hundred profound coins.
Actually, to us two societies, this little bit of money is nothing, but rules are rules, we can't let it go bad. Alright, pay up, quickly! ”
After hearing what the society members said, Zhou Danai was immediately angered. He took a step forward and said:
”If you don't want to pay, why should I give you service fees? It's not like we can't handle matters of entry into the valley ourselves? We cannot pay this money! ”
The moment Zhou Danai's words fell, Qin Gong pulled him back: ”Big bro, this money can be paid. After all, they helped us, so it's only right for us to pay them some labor fees!”
”Should it? Ah? ”Yes, yes, yes. To be helped is to be repaid. It is to be handed over!”
As Zhou Danai spoke, he summoned out twelve Profound Stone from his spatial ring and handed them over to the members of the society: ”These belong to the five of us.”
