But no one in this Hangyu Town dared to do anything to her, because her kung fu was really not covered, and few people could stand just a simple blow to the hall.

But she never seemed to grow up, always like a little girl.

Now following Bai Junlan and helping to carry things, she has not followed Bai Junlan honestly for a moment. always distanced herself from Bai Junlan, and then Bai Junlan reminded or found out by herself, and kept up at a trot.

Bai Junlan is also used to it - this child will not be lost anyway, even if it is suddenly gone, it will definitely appear suddenly.

In fact, she is also quite curious, Qiaoye has lived here since she was a child, how can she always find something that attracts her.

After shopping, they passed by a steamed bun shop, and the proprietress of this steamed bun shop was also an old acquaintance with them. Bai Junlan greeted each other with Qiaoye and the proprietress of the proprietress each other.

Now that the buns have just been steamed, Bai Junlan continues to walk forward, and Qiaoye is nailed to the front of the store.

Bai Junlan didn't even shout, she just shook her head helplessly, she walked back, and saw Qiao Ye take a steaming bun and bite it down.

"Qiaoye!" She said, "Did you pay?" ”

The bun seemed to be really hot, and the bite that Qiao Ye bit down never swallowed, but swirled in his mouth. After she finally swallowed it, she looked at her Aunt Junlan with an embarrassed expression.

"I ...... No money. ”

"If you don't have any money, you just buy buns?"

"Isn't Aunt Junlan rich?"

“……”

Bai Junlan didn't want to say anything, she took out some broken silver and handed it to the proprietress .

"Boss, buy steamed buns, count the steamed buns that you took a bite of in the night, you can buy as many buns as you can with these money, you can give me as many buns as you want."

The proprietress didn't say anything, nor did she take the silver, she directly and skillfully packed the buns, and then gave them to Bai Junlan.

"These buns don't cost money."

"Don't want money?" Bai Junlan was puzzled, "Why?" ”

"Because, ah, these are the rewards for Qiaoye."

"Remuneration? What remuneration? ”

"The day before yesterday, Qiao Ye fulfilled my commission and drove away the little hooligans who often caused trouble in my shop. Don't say it, that action is really chic! ”

was praised by the proprietress like this, Qiao Ye nodded happily again and again.

"Delegate?" Bai Junlan looked at Qiao Ye, "Qiao Ye, are you going to do the entrusted task again?" ”

"Hmm." Qiaoye nodded.

“…… You girl. ”

"It's nothing, is it? Anyway, I'm seventeen years old, and I'm capable of helping others! ”

“…… It's also true...... But have you ever gone on a dangerous mission? ”

"How can there be a dangerous mission in this town? Helping the proprietress drive away the little hooligans is already dangerous. ”

"Really?"

"Isn't it?"

"Okay." Bai Junlan said, "That Qiaoye, the day before yesterday, you completed the commission, why didn't you get paid, but now the boss lady pays you?" ”

Qiao Ye said: "The boss lady's salary is actually three taels of silver, but I don't want money, so I discussed with the boss lady whether I could change the three taels of silver to eat three buns here for free." Then the proprietress agreed. Today is the first time to eat steamed buns for free. ”

"Is that so? Madame? Bai Junlan asked.

"That's right." The proprietress said.

"In that case......," Bai Junlan said, "Boss lady, sorry, we don't buy these buns." As she spoke, she put away the broken silver, then took out a few copper coins and handed them to the proprietress, "This is the money for this bun in Qiaoye's hand, you can take it." ”

"What does that mean?" The proprietress was puzzled, "This is Qiaoye's reward." ”

Bai Junlan asked, "Boss, you should be the first time to send out a commissioned task, right?" ”

The proprietress said, "Yes." ”

"Then I don't blame you. Yes, the remuneration for delegated tasks cannot be changed, and neither the principal nor the delegated person can bargain. Your commission remuneration is three taels of silver, it must be three taels of silver, and it cannot be changed, which is against the rules! It is not allowed. ”

"I see...... If it's a rule, you have to follow it! ”

The proprietress took Bai Junlan's copper coin, and then found three taels of silver and handed them to Qiao Ye, but she didn't take the packed buns back.

"This bun is my thank you gift, okay?" She said, "Thank you for telling me such an important rule!" ”

Bai Junlan shook her head, "Don't," she said, "Take this bun back, it can be regarded as punishment for Qiao Ye for not following the rules." ”

"That's right......" The proprietress looked at Qiao Ye, "Okay! She put the bun away.

Bai Junlan said goodbye to him and walked home with Qiaoye.

Along the way, Qiaoye finished eating the buns, but he was sullen.

Of course, Bai Junlan looked at it in her eyes, and she said, "Angry? ”

Qiaoye nodded.

Bai Junlan said solemnly: "Qiaoye, you are also seventeen years old, there are some things and some rules that you must know." You're a practitioner, aren't you? ”

Qiaoye nodded.

"When a practitioner goes to accept a commission, he cannot bargain for anything he entrusts, this is a rule, a rule that must be followed!"

"I already knew, but I didn't know before! He who does not know is not guilty......"

Bai Junlan's tone aggravated, "Qiaoye, do you know that the rules are there." The innocence of those who do not know is itself only applicable to small matters or between close people. You don't know the law, but if you break the law, will no one come to arrest you? Will it forgive you? ”

"Is it so exaggerated......

"Absolutely!" Bai Junlan is rarely serious to this extent, "Cultivation is serious, cultivators should be serious people, and all the rules of the cultivation world cannot be violated!" ”

Qiao Ye stopped talking.

Bai Junlan sighed and didn't speak.

Walking to the end of the town, Qiao Ye spoke: "What about knowing the rules among cultivators? That's what you have to follow when you live in the big world. ”

"What do you mean, girl?" Bai Junlan asked.

"I mean...... I want to get out there. ”

“…… Influenced by your brother? ”

"Perhaps...... I can't tell. But...... It's weird again. ”

"Really...... What's weird? ”

"Let's talk about it when we get home."

"Okay."

Qiao Ye scratched her head, and then said, "Thank you, Aunt Junlan." ”

"Huh?"

"Thank you for being so bitter and trying to tell me to follow the rules like an old woman!"

After saying that, Qiao Ye ran away with a smile, so she didn't look back at Aunt Junlan's expression, she ran happily, as if she wanted to run back to her home on the mountain.

As for Bai Junlan, she just laughed, just laughed, and thought to herself - let's eat steamed buns tonight.
