Lingling curved her lips and giggled, "Alright, alright."
"No?" Mo Fan's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, and he exclaimed, "How can your 37-degree mouths say such cold and heartless words!!!"
A bounty of several hundred thousand was already a huge sum for Mo Fan at the moment.
Or rather, this amount was a huge sum for most students.
However, for Jiang Yuan, three hundred thousand was just a trivial amount of money.
After the Scaled-Skin Demon Mother died, she produced a Warrior-level Spirit Essence, which could be sold for tens of millions to any buyer.
It was a pity that the Spirit Essence Mo Fan obtained could only be used by himself and could not be sold for money.
"Forget it," Jiang Yuan waved his hand, looking generous. "You and Lingling can split this bounty; I won't get involved."
As soon as Mo Fan heard that Jiang Yuan wasn't going to take any money, he immediately changed his expression and said enthusiastically, "You're truly a good brother! Let's go eat together later; it's my treat!"
"Alright, I'll go back and change my clothes first," Jiang Yuan replied.
Although his clothes weren't dirty, the venue was covered in slime, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.
He had to go back, take a shower, and change into clean clothes.
Mo Fan nodded, "Then Lingling and I will go submit the mission first. We'll meet at Dingtai Restaurant outside the academy later."
With that, the three parted ways.
...
...
As soon as Jiang Yuan returned to his single apartment, he saw a cute girl in a floral dress standing at the door.
She was petite and delicate, with a sweet and charming appearance, standing gracefully like a blooming flower, drawing frequent glances from many passing boys, who secretly found her charming.
"Xiao Mian, why are you here?" Jiang Yuan was full of surprise.
This girl was Xiao Mian, whom he had met during his awakening at the Magic Association that day.
"Brother Yuan, Guo Xiansheng (Mr. Guo) asked me to come over and bring you some things," Xiao Mian said, a faint blush quietly appearing on her fair ears.
"Then don't stand outside. Come in first."
Jiang Yuan opened the door, led Xiao Mian to the living room, poured a glass of water, and handed it to her, saying gently, "Sit down, drink some water first."
"Oh, oh."
Xiao Mian took the tea and took a small sip.
Then, she pulled out a stack of black-and-white documents from her bag.
"Brother Yuan, please look at this document."
Jiang Yuan took the document and examined it carefully.
It was a gift agreement, and the recipient was himself.
The gifted items in the agreement included magic resources worth ten million, several properties around Mingzhu Academy, and five million in cash at the end.
These things combined were worth tens of millions.
Although Guo Liyu was a renowned collector of Guiding Stones in the country, controlling a small Guiding Stone mine, and had ties to the Mu Family, his assets were worth several hundred million.
But to give away tens of millions at once was truly an astonishing gesture.
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but frown.
He took out the business card Guo Liyu had given him that day and dialed the number on it.
A few minutes later, Jiang Yuan hung up the phone.
"Take this document back," Jiang Yuan said.
"Ah?" Xiao Mian immediately became flustered.
What should I do? The items weren't successfully delivered.
Will Guo Xiansheng (Mr. Guo) blame me? Will he deduct my salary?
The girl's emotions were clearly written on her face.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan quickly explained, "Take this document back first. I will go to the Magic Association in a while, and then I will discuss the matter of this document with Guo Xiansheng (Mr. Guo)."
Xiao Mian then relaxed, "Mm-hm! Then I'll head back first!"
Xiao Mian stood up and slowly walked towards the door, step by step.
She secretly observed behind her with her peripheral vision and saw Jiang Yuan sending her off right behind her, her ears redder than before.
Upon reaching the door.
"Well, bye-bye. I have something else to do later, so I'll see you off here," Jiang Yuan said.
"Mm, okay... Can you give me your phone number?" Xiao Mian said hesitantly, the blush on her ears spreading all the way to her neck.
Jiang Yuan recited his phone number.
Xiao Mian, having gotten her wish, left excitedly, her steps exceptionally light.
Once Xiao Mian was out of his sight, Jiang Yuan also set off for the meeting point.
...
...
The next day.
Jiang Yuan was woken up by his phone ringing.
"Hello, Teacher, are we leaving now? Okay, I'll be right there."
Jiang Yuan instantly sobered up.
Qin Yun told him to set off for the Ancient Capital with him right away.
According to what was just said on the phone, there was originally going to be an awards ceremony for Jiang Yuan for defeating the Scaled-Skin Demon Mother, but Dean Xiao agreed to postpone it until he returned from the Ancient Capital.
Jiang Yuan quickly washed up, got dressed, and came to the living room.
Two people were lying on the sofa, and one was lying on the floor.
On the sofa were Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan.
On the floor was Xu Zhaoting.
Mo Fan's sleeping posture was extremely captivating, with his round butt sticking up.
Jiang Yuan suddenly kicked him, "Still sleeping? Get up!"
"Mm-hm?" Mo Fan groggily got up, "Why does my butt hurt a bit? What happened last night?"
"I warn you, don't say such ambiguous things. Last night, you drank a bit too much and started yelling that you were the future Archmage, and even wanted to jump on the table and do a striptease," Jiang Yuan recounted what happened last night expressionlessly.
Last night, Mo Fan treated everyone to a meal, inviting many people, including Jiang Yuan, Zhao Manyan, Xu Zhaoting, and Lingling.
Including him, there were five people in total.
Mo Fan got completely drunk yesterday.
Mages' physiques are much stronger than ordinary people's; normally, they would need to drink high-proof alcohol, and at least one or two bottles, to feel drunk.
Mo Fan was the type with poor alcohol tolerance; a few bottles of liquor would put him out, and he'd start acting wild, not at all like a Mage.
The others, despite drinking so much, were fine, just a little tipsy.
Lingling was underage and drank beverages.
Actually, Mo Fan didn't manage to do a striptease; he just took off his jacket and ran to the bathroom to throw up.
"Damn, I was going to do a striptease???"
Mo Fan instantly sobered up; his memory vaguely seemed to recall something like that!
At this moment, the other two also woke up.
Zhao Manyan heard Mo Fan's words and subconsciously said, "Yeah, yesterday you kept insisting on doing a striptease, and we couldn't stop you. You even scared Lingling."
Mo Fan was on the verge of a breakdown.
"My reputation, ruined in one night!!"
After wailing, Mo Fan pleaded with a mournful face, hands clasped together, "I beg you, can you keep this a secret? If girls find out about this, how will I ever pick up girls again!"
"Uh..." Xu Zhaoting originally wanted to say that he didn't actually do it last night, but seeing Mo Fan's expression, he chose to go along with Jiang Yuan and the others.
This was a rare opportunity to get a hold of Mo Fan.
It couldn't be wasted!
Let this misunderstanding continue!
The three of them were in complete agreement at this moment.
Poor Mo Fan was still gratefully thanking Jiang Yuan and the others for keeping his secret.
He kept revising but was still not satisfied, staying up all night.
