Chapter 1528: Chapter 1527: The Treasure Basin_1

Bei Yun casually shrugged his shoulders. “I wasn’t taught by anyone and lack upbringing anyway.”

Seeing that Lingsu was about to speak again, he quickly changed the subject, “Speaking of which, on our way here, I saw someone selling portraits of Miss Qiao, calling her a living wealth god. Should we also buy one on our way back and worship it daily?

“Worship my big head ghost!” Lingsu replied irritably.

“Eh? Cousin, are you jealous? Are you envious of Miss Qiao’s fame? If you’re envious, just say it, and I can draw a portrait of you too, claiming you’re a divine doctor in the flesh, and after buying it people can…”

“Shut your mouth!” Lingsu couldn’t take it any longer, slammed the table violently, and said fiercely, “Do you believe I can make you mute?”

“I believe, I believe,” Bei Yun quickly nodded.

He switched topics, no longer provoking Lingsu, “I heard a rumor while treating people recently.”

“You can shut up now, there’s no one here who wants to hear you speak,” Lingsu ground her teeth.

“The rumor is that Miss Qiao has a treasure basin that belonged to the celestial wealth god who accidentally dropped it while wandering the human world, and whoever obtains it can attract all the wealth in the world to themselves.”

Bei Yun didn’t care about the fuming Lingsu and continued speaking.

His words weren’t nonsense after all, as the three people present suddenly looked serious upon hearing them. Tong Sanlang frowned, “Who did you hear this from?”

“I’ve forgotten, there’s often a queue in front of my stall, and people chat while they wait. I overheard it unintentionally,” Bei Yun said while sipping his soup, “I was busy treating the sick at the time, heard it, and then forgot it. But today, on the way here, I saw people selling portraits of Miss Qiao, calling her a living wealth god.”

“Living wealth god and treasure basin, what’s the meaning of this?”

What’s the meaning of this?

Xiaomai’s elegant brows also knitted. She didn’t have any treasure basin; everything she earned today came from her and Tong Sanlang’s intelligence and cleverness, okay.

“Malicious intentions,” Lingsu spoke up. “They are completely setting you on fire.”

“I think so too,” Bei Yun nodded, “If everyone believes you have the treasure basin, what if someone covetous tries to rob it, or the Royal household wants you to hand it over?”

Upon hearing this, Xiaomai snorted dismissively, “Let them try to rob it if they dare.”

“So you’re saying you really have the treasure basin?” Bei Yun immediately shifted his gaze from his bowl of soup to Xiaomai, his face showing surprise.

“I wish I did have that thing,” Xiaomai rolled her eyes.

If she really had such a thing, she wouldn’t be worrying about the enormous debt for road repairs.

Lingsu was aware of the debt burden on Xiaomai and understood what she meant by her words. She frowned, “We should investigate and find out who is spreading this rumor; the person behind it is too vicious.”

The so-called there’s always a higher sky, she never believed that her medical skills and martial arts were unparalleled in the world; perhaps one day, from some obscure corner, a greater deity might pop up.

Money moves the heart, and if it doesn’t, it’s simply not enough money.

Now, someone with ulterior motives had created a rumor of a treasure basin, and just those three words were enough to drive people mad.

If someone more powerful than her actually came to steal it because of the rumor, then Xiaomai would truly die wronged.
