Upon hearing the question from her master, Little Beggar Luo Yi quickly replied, "Master, they haven't seen the latest chapter from me."
After listening to him, Luo Bingbing slightly nodded and said, "I called you here because I have some matters to instruct you."
"Master, please give your orders. I will do my utmost to fulfill them," Luo Yi responded promptly after hearing the Little One's words.
"Well, I will be leaving the royal residence for a while tomorrow, and it may take some time. You will have full authority to handle matters related to the beggars. However, if you encounter any major issues that you cannot resolve, you can call for me in your heart. I will come to see you when I hear you."
After saying this, she pointed to the stack of documents on her desk that outlined her plans and strategies for development and continued, "These are the materials I've prepared regarding the future of the beggars. Take them back and read them carefully. It would be best to invite a teacher; if there are any parts you don't understand, you can consult him. You can also have him teach those in the Beggar Clan to read and write, improving their skills."
Upon hearing that she would be leaving the royal residence for a while, Luo Yi couldn't help but feel surprised, but he did not show it and continued to listen expressionlessly to his Young Mistress.
Luo Bingbing looked at him and continued, "Now, come with me to the largest Money Exchange in Silver City to deposit some money. When you need funds, go there to withdraw; this is your activity budget."
After hearing the Little One's words, he quickly replied, "Yes, Master."
Then, Luo Bingbing took out the Golden Leaves and Pearl Agate from the cabinet and instructed Luo Yi to wrap them in a cloth and carry them on his back.
She herself stuffed the silver notes into her chest and sleeves. After securing their finances, Luo Bingbing activated her Inner Strength and Ability, teleporting with Luo Yi to a small alley in Silver City.
The alley was usually quiet with few passersby; thus, no one noticed the sudden appearance of Luo Bingbing and Little Beggar Luo Yi.
When Luo Yi brought Luo Bingbing to the entrance of the largest Money Exchange in Silver City, she asked, "Is this really the largest Money Exchange in Silver City? It doesn't look like much."
"Master, this First Bank is owned by World's Richest Su Qingcheng; it has branches all over the world! Therefore, its reputation is unmatched," Luo Yi quickly explained to his Young Mistress.
Hearing his words made Luo Bingbing's lips curve slightly upward as she calmly said, "World's Richest, huh? Then they should be able to take our business."
With that said, she stepped inside first. Seeing that his Young Mistress had already entered, Luo Yi hurriedly followed her inside.
Upon entering, Luo Bingbing looked around and, through her careful observation, came to a definite conclusion: this Money Exchange could indeed be considered the most reputable one.
The walls were adorned not only with calligraphy from scholars but also displayed a series of management regulations that were interconnected and appeared quite strict.
Although these regulations were still far from modern standards, Luo Bingbing knew that achieving this in such a backward ancient society was already impressive.
When the Keeper of the Money Exchange saw Luo Bingbing enter, he was momentarily taken aback. After observing her as she surveyed the surroundings, a look of approval appeared on his face, and he realized that this Little Doll was someone extraordinary.
From the very first glance, he was struck by the hidden aura she exuded. Additionally, noticing that she wore rare high-quality silk fabric, the Keeper immediately recognized that this Little Doll was not an ordinary person.
With a cheerful demeanor, the Keeper approached Luo Bingbing and said, "Miss, are you here to deposit or withdraw money?"
After hearing his words, Luo Bingbing scrutinized him carefully and confidently replied, "You are the Keeper here?"
The Keeper was quite surprised by her keen insight and secretly admired her perceptiveness. However, despite his astonishment, he did not show any sign of it and continued to smile as he said to Luo Bingbing, "Yes, I am indeed the Keeper of this Money Exchange. May I ask what you require, Miss?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Bingbing stated, "Please call your owner over; I doubt you can handle my business."
Upon hearing this from the Little One, the Keeper quickly responded, "Miss, please have a seat inside. I will go fetch our Young Master right away."
He understood that this Little One was not an ordinary person, which is why he was so eager to summon his Young Master.
If it had been someone else, he likely wouldn't have paid them any mind, let alone fetch their owner.
Thus, Luo Bingbing and Little Beggar Luo Yi were invited into the inner reception room for tea.
Before long, a young man dressed in a Purple Brocade Robe, around sixteen or seventeen years old, walked in, followed by the Keeper.
When the young man appeared at the door, Luo Bingbing lazily glanced at him before turning her gaze back to her Biluochun tea, sipping it leisurely.
However, even though she only took a casual look, she knew that this young man was not ordinary; he carried an alluring aura that was imperceptible to most.
The young man in the Purple Brocade Robe was the Young Master of this Money Exchange—Su Yi—and also the only son of the World's Richest.
From the moment Su Yi entered, his gaze automatically ignored Luo Yi beside him and fell directly on the Little One, not leaving for a moment.
Before coming here, he had heard from the Keeper that the Little Doll was not an ordinary person, so he paid special attention to her.
But the more he observed, the more confused he became, and his astonishment grew deeper.
He felt that the Little Doll was like a vortex, possessing an irresistible allure that drew one in deeper and deeper until they could not escape.
After slowly sitting down across from the Little Doll, he spoke up: “You wanted to see me?”
Upon hearing his words, Luo Bingbing slightly nodded and said, “I want to deposit some money in your Money Exchange; the amount is relatively large.”
Su Yi responded directly to her statement: “Sure, how much are we talking about?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Bingbing turned to Luo Yi beside her and said, “Bring it to the table.”
Upon hearing his master's words, Luo Yi quickly took down the package from his back and placed it on the tea table.
Seeing that Luo Yi had placed it on the table, Luo Bingbing said to Su Yi across from her: “Go ahead and open it.”
Su Yi nodded at her request and gestured for the Keeper to open the package. The Keeper quickly approached and opened the package on the table as instructed by his Young Master.
As soon as the package was opened, the shiny Golden Leaves and Pearl Agates were revealed.
Both Keeper and Su Yi were knowledgeable individuals. The moment they laid eyes on the Golden Leaves and Pearl Agates, they recognized that everything on the table was genuine and of the highest quality.
These top-tier items were quite rare in the market, so both of them couldn't help but feel a sense of astonishment. At the same time, they became even more certain that this Little One was no ordinary person.
Before they could calm the turmoil in their hearts, Luo Bingbing reached into her bosom and pulled out a large stack of Ten Thousand Taels Banknotes. Then, she also retrieved two more large stacks of Ten Thousand Taels Banknotes from her sleeves.
Looking at the thick bundles of banknotes on the table, Keeper and Su Yi knew that there were at least several tens of millions of taels of silver there.
Although this amount was negligible compared to the wealth in their own homes, it was still the first time he had handled such a large transaction.
Luo Bingbing glanced at the two men across from her and said lightly, "Count it."
After hearing her words, Su Yi instructed Keeper to do the counting. The Pearl Agates would be exchanged for gold, and if Luo Bingbing did not mention those gold pieces, then the Pearl Agates would still belong to them.
After Keeper finished counting, he confirmed that the value was eighty-nine million taels of silver. Once the paperwork was completed, Su Yi handed Luo Bingbing an Amethyst as a token for collecting the money.
After receiving the Amethyst, Luo Bingbing and Luo Yi left the Money Exchange.
As soon as they stepped out of the Money Exchange, Luo Bingbing sensed that someone was tailing them. She knew that those followers must have been sent by Su Yi, the son of the World's Richest.
Indeed, those people were sent by Su Yi. He noticed how young Luo Bingbing was yet possessed such wealth, making her an enigma.
Thus, he wanted to find out who this Little One really was and what background she had.
Luo Bingbing's lips curled into a sly smile as she thought to herself, "You think you can investigate me? You’re not qualified."
She quickly turned into a sparsely populated alleyway, with Luo Yi following closely behind her into that narrow path.
After a few turns, the two arrived at a secluded area. At that moment, Luo Bingbing immediately used her ability to teleport Luo Yi back to the study of Piaoyun Pavilion.
The shadows that had been following them reached that spot only to find that the alley was empty, with no sign of them.
They walked a bit further, only to discover they had come to a dead end with no way forward.
At this point, they realized they had been shaken off and lost track of their targets. With no one to pursue, they had no choice but to return and report to their master.
Upon hearing the report from his subordinates, Su Yi's curiosity deepened. He waved his hand to dismiss them and called forth his Dark Guard, ordering them to investigate the background of the Little Doll.
Meanwhile, after returning to the study, Luo Bingbing asked Luo Yi about the recent developments concerning the Beggar Clan. Luo Yi informed her that they had already purchased a residence.
After their conversation, Luo Bingbing took out some Martial Arts Manuals she had brought back from the Underworld from her cabinet and handed them to Luo Yi, instructing him to practice with the beggars.
She then directed Luo Yi to wait in the backyard of Piaoyun Pavilion for the Snow Spirit Elder and her father, assuring him that she would send them over shortly.
Following her instructions, Luo Yi took his leave and climbed out through the window.
Once he had left, Luo Bingbing instructed the Nursemaid waiting outside to open the door. She then went with the Nursemaid to find the Snow Spirit Elder and the others in the courtyard of Piaoyun Pavilion.
From a distance, she spotted the Snow Spirit Elder and his companions still seated around a stone table. However, what had originally been five people had now increased to seven.
It was clear that the two newcomers were His Majesty Dongfang Hao and his Personal Bodyguard Mo Xuan.
Luo Bingbing walked slowly towards the stone table and noticed there was no seat for her. She couldn't help but frown slightly. As soon as Poet Sage Li Jingshan saw her arrive, he quickly stood up to greet her and offered her a seat.
However, Luo Bingbing did not take his offered place. Instead, she walked directly to Snow Spirit Elder's side and said, "Old man, you and my father should go practice in the backyard and teach them your unique skills."
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned to Lord Lo An and urged, "Father, hurry up! Make good use of your time practicing." Both men were momentarily taken aback by the Little One's words. Snow Spirit Elder weakly replied, "Child, there are still matters outside that need handling. Can they really focus on practicing?"
Luo Bingbing immediately replied after hearing his words, "You all can rest assured; I have already thought of a solution."
Upon hearing her words, the others felt a weight lift from their hearts. The Snow Spirit Elder had nothing more to say and simply stood up to head towards the backyard.
However, Lo An Lord did not get up. Luo Bingbing knew it was because Dongfang Hao was present, so she turned to Dongfang Hao and said, "I will have him practice; do you have any objections?"
Dongfang Hao raised an eyebrow at her question and replied, "None." After saying that, he turned to Lo An Lord and added, "Go ahead!"
With the command from Your Majesty, Lo An Lord quickly went to the backyard to practice.
Once they left, Luo Bingbing sat down on a stone bench. Strategist Gongsun Ming saw that she had settled down and wanted to ask her what clever plan she had to deal with those people outside.
But before he could speak, he heard the Little One's outrageous words nearby.
The Little One casually declared, "Dongfang, you must pay back my money today; I need it!"
