Yun Jiu ran back to Yun Residence, her face beaming with an uncontainable smile. In high spirits, she casually tossed a piece of silver to the two guards at the gate. "You've worked hard, take this and buy some tea!"
The two guards exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion and surprise. What was going on with Miss Jiu? She had been so generous with her rewards for two consecutive days; it was as if the sun had risen in the west! One of the guards, Liu Dong, waited until Yun Jiu was out of earshot before whispering to his companion, Luo Fan, "Luo Fan, don't you think Miss Jiu has been acting a bit strange since she came back yesterday?"
"Definitely, I've noticed it too," Luo Fan nodded in agreement. "Yesterday, she actually beat up the Second Young Master! It's hard to believe! Isn't she supposed to be unable to cultivate?"
"It's absolutely true! Zhang Yuan saw it with his own eyes, and many people in the manor know about it. But Miss Jiu specifically instructed us not to speak of it and to say that the Second Young Master fell by himself," Liu Dong said, lowering his voice even further.
Luo Fan's eyes widened in disbelief as he shook his head. "Could it be that Miss Jiu has been hiding her abilities? How did we not notice before?"
"Who knows! Anyway, let's just do our jobs and avoid provoking Miss Jiu," Liu Dong said, recalling the Second Young Master's cries that sounded like a pig being slaughtered, causing him to shiver.
While they were whispering, Yun Jiu had already bounced her way to Yun Baichen's courtyard. "Grandfather! Grandfather! Xiao Jiu is here to see you!" Her voice preceded her arrival.
Hearing her voice from inside the house, Yun Baichen couldn't help but twitch his mouth. This Xiao Jiu had changed so much! She used to be so quiet and reserved; now she was lively and cheerful, like a little rabbit that would never grow up.
"Come in!" Yun Baichen shook his head helplessly and smiled.
Yun Jiu pushed open the door and hopped into the room. Her face was lit up with a proud smile, clearly eager to share some good news. "Grandfather, I accomplished something impressive today!"
"Oh? What could possibly make you so happy?" Yun Baichen set down his teacup and asked casually. He didn't expect Yun Jiu to have done anything particularly remarkable.
However, what Yun Jiu said next took him by surprise: "I exposed that scoundrel Bai Moyu's true colors! I even poured a bowl of hot soup on Bai Morou's face! Hehe, you should have seen how flustered she looked!" She finished with a triumphant shake of her head.
"What?!" Yun Baichen slammed the table and stood up abruptly. "This is ridiculous! Bai Moyu is a master at the Fourth Level of Refining Spirit, and Bai Morou is at the Third Level! What if they really get angry and take action? Are you hurt?" He looked at Yun Jiu with deep concern.
Yun Jiu was startled by Yun Baichen's reaction, but a warm feeling surged in her heart. She knew her grandfather genuinely cared for her safety. "Grandfather, don't worry! I know what I'm doing! I've sealed Bai Morou's acupoint; she can't move at all right now!" As she spoke, she demonstrated the hand gesture for sealing acupoints.
Hearing this, Yun Baichen felt somewhat relieved. "Isn't your acupoint seal supposed to wear off after two hours? You need to be careful; don't let her unseal it early and come after you."
"Hehe, Grandfather, you can rest assured! This time I controlled my strength and technique perfectly. The acupoint I sealed on Bai Morou won't unseal for at least three days!" Yun Jiu said proudly. "By then, if the Bai Family comes looking for us, we'll make a hefty profit from them! We'll split the money fifty-fifty, and no one else will get a share!" She cozied up to Yun Baichen as she spoke.
Yun Baichen looked at her lively little face and her flattering demeanor, feeling a mix of emotions. This Xiao Jiu has really changed too much! She wouldn't have had such cunning thoughts before; now she... Ah, never mind, as long as she's happy. He feigned a stern expression and said, "Hmph! You little rascal! As if I love money that much! How about this: I'll take eighty percent, and you can have twenty! You don't need that much money anyway!"
Yun Jiu was taken aback. Eighty-twenty split? Grandfather, that's too harsh! I came up with this brilliant idea after so much effort! How can you exploit me like this? Wuwuwu... my money... Her heart was bleeding at the thought. But seeing Yun Baichen's expression that seemed to say "If you don't agree, I'll cry," she reluctantly conceded, "Alright, alright, Grandfather knows best..." Yet in her heart, she was secretly pondering how to make up for that eighty percent loss from other sources.
