Zhao Shuning was just such a person.
She never claimed to be a great good - hearted person because deep down, she would never do things like a soft - hearted fool.
However, she had her own bottom line.
That was, if Zhao Shuning wanted something, she would surely strive for it herself. If her own interests endangered others' rights, she would definitely change her direction.
She would never do things that hurt others for her own sake.
But if someone hurt her interests, she wouldn't be magnanimous either. She would return all the harm done to her.
However, this time, things took a bit of an unexpected turn for Zhao Shuning. After she did all these things, her name gradually became well - known in Qingning.
With just a few words, she managed to sway most of the merchants in Qingning. She even managed to get something out of Nan Tianyuan, a tough nut to crack. She helped the poor commoners and built houses and roads in Qingning. For the people of Qingning, what Zhao Shuning did was exactly what the master of Qingning should do.
So after this matter was completed, Zhao Shuning's reputation soared while Nan Tianyuan's became increasingly notorious.
Zhao Shuning came to Qingning initially for Sese and her younger brother's matter. Helping the people of Qingning was just a by - the - way thing.
But this by - the - way act earned her countless good feelings.
"Mo Bai, do you think I've made a profit? Hahaha, I didn't spend a single gold coin but earned 500 gold coins and also won such a good reputation. Why was I so stupid when I was alive before? I just didn't figure out earlier this kind of thing that could win the hearts of the people, punish the evil and promote the good without spending my own money." Zhao Shuning propped her chin.
Lying on the table, she continued, "The matter is done, and it's time for me to go back. But why can't I find Xing Chen? The so - called clue from the Nan family is just a puzzle box, and I can't open it. And look at Xiaoyunyun. He looks like he's going to fight me for this puzzle box.
"Never mind. It'll be safer to leave this puzzle box with the Chu family.
"After all, at present, my ability is far inferior to that of the siblings Chu Wen and Chu Nuan. I know them well. They will surely spare no effort to investigate Xing Chen's matter.
"It's a pity that this time, except for the 500 gold coins, I got nothing, and these 500 gold coins didn't end up in my pocket in the end."
Right! She had to send these 500 gold coins to Viper.
Acting on her thought immediately, Zhao Shuning quickly found a messenger goose. She put the 500 gold coins into a small Qiankun bag. In this way, its weight was greatly reduced.
Then, Zhao Shuning also put a letter she had written into it.
After thinking for a while, she realized that if she sent the 500 gold coins to Viper in her own tone as Zhao Shuning, with Viper's proud and coquettish personality, he would surely not accept it. Instead, she might as well write the letter in the tone of the senior from outside the maze cave.
Xiao An admired that young girl so much. Whatever she said would be taken as an order, and he would surely not reject this sum of gold.
Zhao Shuning quickly tore the previous letter into pieces. Sitting upright, she seriously wrote a new letter. Her handwriting was quite elegant and beautiful.
Speaking of her handwriting, Zhao Shuning especially had to thank her master. If it weren't for his constant urging, she might not even know how to hold a pen by now.
After drying the ink on the letter, Zhao Shuning infused her spiritual power into it and then put it into the Qiankun bag.
At this time, Viper was still south of the Huai River.
Because he still had to deal with the aftermath of the Disciples' Joint Competition, and besides, Shuiyunsheng had just entered the martial world and was facing many problems due to the shortage of spiritual stones.
Now, Viper was raising funds everywhere, hoping to lay a foundation for the development of Shuiyunsheng.
Viper refused Xie Yuan's help. He wanted to make Shuiyunsheng powerful by his own strength.
Today, when he was making a plan in the inner hall, someone came in from outside.
"Master, haven't we solved the problem of the location of the Shuiyunsheng Gang yet?"
Viper sighed, "It's a bit difficult."
He wanted to make Shuiyunsheng the number - one gang in the world, but at present, the gang didn't even have a headquarters. Moreover, as time passed, the number of people in the Shuiyunsheng Gang was increasing.
If there was still no main base, there would be no place for the important members of Shuiyunsheng to gather.
"Master, how much more funds do we need?"
"At least 100 gold coins."
This was already the minimum budget. If the main base of Shuiyunsheng was so shabby, it might not attract many people to join.
After a while, another person rushed in.
"Master, there's a messenger goose outside. It should be a spiritual - power - transmitted one, and your name is on it."
"Just leave it there. It should be a gang member of Shuiyunsheng asking about the completion of the main base."
"But master, this messenger goose is a bit different. It's not the red - feathered goose we usually use for sending messages in the gang."
Viper stood up and walked out impatiently.
He stretched out his hand, and the goose flew into his hand.
He took off the small bag.
Taking a closer look, he found it was a Qiankun bag. He quickly opened it and found that there were 500 gold coins and a letter inside.
There was a familiar spiritual power on the letter.
The spiritual power planted in Viper's mind resonated with the one on this letter.
His hand trembled, and he almost dropped the letter. The muscles on his face also began to twitch.
"It's the senior! It's her!"
Xie An quickly took the letter and walked into the inner hall. After sitting down nervously, he slowly opened the envelope. Someone noticed that Xie An's hand was already soaked with fine sweat.
The handwriting on the letter was very beautiful and elegant.
As soon as Xie An saw it, he automatically associated it with the senior girl in the Dark Swamp.
Her voice was so nice, and even her handwriting was so beautiful. She must be a well - educated, sensible, and gentle young lady from a noble family.
Did the senior always pay attention to him?
Otherwise, how did she know that he was in great need of funds now?
The senior was really generous. With just one move, she gave 500 gold coins. Presumably, her family should be a top - level family comparable to the four great families.
The senior was so outstanding. How many years and how much effort would it take for him to reach the same level as her?
Looking at the 500 gold coins, Xie An was deeply affected.
"Senior, I know you've always been paying attention to me. Don't worry. I once told you that I would make Shuiyunsheng the number - one gang in the world and then give it to you. I will surely fulfill my promise."
With the 500 gold coins, all the problems were solved.
Xie An's heart also became more at ease.
This was the first time he had received a letter from the senior in such a long time.
He carefully put away the letter, then specifically placed it in a small wooden box, and carefully put it into his Qiankun bag.
"I will surely live up to your trust."
