Chapter 126: Etiquette

Translator: NinetalesEditor: Fish_Creek

When Qin Mu had woke up, it was already in the evening. The youth was desiring to get some water from the courtyard to wash him. When he walked out of his room, he saw over ten sword cases in the courtyard. Other than sword cases, there was also a pile of items like jade pendants, hairpins, jewelry and et cetera.

Qin Mu was bewildered and heard a sound coming from outside the door, ”Is it Sister Fox Immortal? I'm here to redeem the items of my house's young lady, have a look…”

Hu Ling'er's voice sounded out, ”The money is not enough. The sword case, hairpin, bracelet of your young lady are all no ordinary items. This amount of Great Abundance Coins isn't enough.”

”What's Ling'er doing?”

Qin Mu was bewildered. He was sleepy-eyed and had yet washed up so it wasn't good for him to go out now, thus he got some water to wash his face. Meanwhile, the voice outside carefully smiled apologetically, ”My young lady had only given me this bag of money and there's simply no more, may Sister Fox Immortal please make things easy for me. This sword case is from Imperial College and the hairpin and bracelet are given by the elders in young lady's family…”

”Fine, wait here for a moment.”

The door opened and Qin Mu saw Hu Ling'er running in like a wisp of smoke with a bag of coins behind her. This white fox used her spells to raise a whirlwind, sweeping up a sword case and a few pieces of jewelry as she rushed back in excitement and handed it over to the person outside.

The person was deeply grateful and said thanks then left.

Qin Mu washed his face and brushed his teeth with a wooden toothbrush. The little white fox running back in, she only noticed him now and was surprised, ”Young master is awake? Young master, we have money now!” When she said that, she opened the door to the room and Qin Mu saw over twenty bags piled on the floor.

Hu Ling'er opened a bag of coins and Great Abundance Coins flew out to the ground.

Qin Mu was flabbergasted and didn't know what to say.

Hu Ling'er was proud of herself, ”Young master had beaten those scholars so they were embarrassed to come to redeem their items by themselves. They could only send their servants over to redeem their stuff, thus we had made a big profit!”

Qin Mu washed his mouth and let out a murky breath while shaking his head, ”Ling'er, this isn't kind. I had already given them two beatings. Now you had pillaged them and wanted their ransoms, it's slightly too much. Now that they had given the ransoms, how will I have the cheek to beat them again?”

Hu Ling'er stuck out her tongue and was slightly upset, ”You had already beaten them once already? Young master didn't pillage them the previous time you beat them? Isn't that a huge loss? Young master knows our Great Ruins' rule more than anyone else! You had said before that snatching things with our own ability couldn't be called stealing.”

Qin Mu shook his head, ”You snatched their stuff and took their money. I'm afraid that my hands would get weak from collecting money. Fine, we have almost run out of money anyway, so this money could sustain us for a while more. You cannot snatch their stuff next time. We'll snatch again when we run out of money. In that way can the thin streams flow forever.”

Hu Ling'er nodded her head repeatedly and said, ”Young master is awake so I shall prepare some food.”

”Why do you need to prepare food? Now that we have money, we can go eat any delicacies in the city. You can choose any dish soever you like.”

They went out excitedly with the fox carrying the coin pouch. The numerous scholars staying in Scholar's Residence all closed their windows and doors when they saw Qin Mu and the fox walking by, not daring to face him.

Qin Mu was bewildered. These scholars had said that the entire Imperial College had known that he had beaten them but he definitely didn't leak out what happened. Who was the one that had leaked it out then?

Beside Scholar's Residence was Royalty Park and the people living inside were all princes, princesses as well as lords from aristocrat families. Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor had implemented a rule that children of royalties had no need to take the examination and could enter Imperial College at fifteen years old. However, the royalties had respectable identities, therefore, they couldn't stay together with ordinary scholars, thus another park was opened up.

Wei Yong was currently laughing with a few royalties, ”You didn't know that our Scholar's Residence was bustling with activities. That Qin Mu has beaten up the scholars again and they are extremely miserable. Don't say I'm the one who said it out…”

A royalty asked puzzledly, ”This person from Great Ruins is actually that strong?”

”He's still okay.”

Wei Yong bragged, ”His ability is about the same as mine, just that his moves are peculiar. I feel that those fellows from Scholar's Residence are too useless.”

Another royalty laughed, ”The fellows from Scholar's Residence are always conceited and contemptuous. They felt that they had fought their way in with their ability and always looked down us royalties. Now they had met their nemesis.”
