[Ding!]
[Show-stopping maneuver. The Holy Son's heartfelt words of concern have filled his Dao Companion's heart with sweetness!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones]
"Saying... saying things like that right here... you really are..."
Shen Buyao pouted, her heart bursting with joy at Lin Yu's words.
Acting completely out of character, she clasped her hands behind her back and coyly bumped against Lin Yu's arm.
If someone else did something similar, it might indeed look cute.
But Lin Yu knew exactly what kind of girl Antique Sister was.
Suddenly pulling a stunt like this made Lin Yu feel very awkward.
He gently poked Shen Buyao's shoulder and said, "Alright, that's enough, Yaoyao. Snap out of it."
"The little girl style doesn't suit you."
Hearing this, Shen Buyao's coy demeanor vanished instantly.
She reverted to being the imposing big sister, grumbling, "What do you mean 'little girl'? Isn't your sister always like this!"
"It's all your fault for saying such mushy things..."
Lin Yu's eyes darted around as he deliberately said, "I was just scared. I was afraid you'd fall off. If you accidentally fell to your death on your birthday, how unlucky would that be!"
Shen Buyao froze immediately. "???"
"How dare you, Lin Yu! You won't let me say that word, but you can say it whenever you want?"
"Hurry up, spit it out! Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"
Shen Buyao stared dead at Lin Yu with a serious expression.
Lin Yu: "..."
She certainly learned fast; Antique Sister had really mastered this game.
"Okay, okay, okay. Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"
"Yaoyao, look at the gift I just received."
"This is a precious item from Little Jiu. What are you planning to give me?"
Lin Yu showed off the jade thumb ring Shen Jiuyi had given him, deliberately provoking Shen Buyao.
Time was tight.
He couldn't stay on the third floor much longer.
When Shen Buyao saw the jade thumb ring, she was stunned for a few seconds before murmuring, "That big cow... I've been asking for this thing for years and never got it."
"She actually gave it to you as a gift?!"
"Talk about her elbow turning outward! This is the 'protective talisman' our Ancestral Grandma gave her!"
Lin Yu: "???"
So there really was a story behind it!
Because Shen Jiuyi had downplayed it so much, Lin Yu thought it was just an ordinary valuable object.
He never expected it to be... a protective talisman?
This truly caught Lin Yu off guard.
For a moment, he didn't quite know how to respond.
But on second thought...
Since Shen Jiuyi dared to give it as a gift, she surely wasn't worried about Shen Buyao seeing it, right?
Today was a public occasion; it would be hard for it not to be seen.
So...
She must have thought about how to explain it to Shen Buyao herself.
At this moment, choosing to feign ignorance and not respond was the best course of action.
Just as Lin Yu guessed, Shen Buyao didn't keep pestering Lin Yu about the jade thumb ring.
Instead, she took out a smaller, transparent cubic box from her pocket.
You didn't need to open it to see what was inside...
"A seal?"
"Is this a 'Seal of Lin Yu' carved specifically for me?"
"I thought you'd give me an antique. This gift is actually quite novel!"
"It looks like jade? Yaoyao, is this jade expensive?"
Lin Yu took the seal, examining it while teasing her with questions.
Since the item Shen Jiuyi gave him had such a significant background, the gift from Antique Sister naturally wouldn't be inferior.
However, the usually generous and open Shen Buyao didn't reply immediately.
She stood there, arms crossed over her chest, looking at Lin Yu with a charming, pitiful expression.
Lin Yu asked suspiciously:
Do we really have to make the atmosphere so ecstatic? What exactly is this thing?
Shen Buyao: Lin Yu...
Lin Yu: What?
Shen Buyao: This is the seal of Wubao Pavilion.
Lin Yu: !!!
Hiss!
Lin Yu had picked up a thing or two about the rules of the antique trade recently.
If he understood correctly...
This tiny seal inside was the credential for Wubao Pavilion's transactions with all parties.
Which meant...
It was the very foundation of Wubao Pavilion!
Lin Yu stood in a daze for a moment before asking in astonishment:
Yaoyao, w... what does this mean?
You gave Wubao Pavilion to me?
For some reason, Shen Buyao’s eyes suddenly reddened.
Dazzling, crystal-clear tears swirled around her eyes.
But before they could fall, she wiped them away nonchalantly.
Her emotions came fast, but they left even faster.
Shen Buyao said carelessly:
Well, you can't say it exactly like that. The shop is definitely still mine.
It just means that holding this seal, you can represent Wubao Pavilion in Pingchuan City and the entire Jizhou region to make any decision.
Buying, selling, auctions, or investments—whatever you want to do.
You helped me so much, allowing me and the Big Cow to regain our status as heads of the Shen family.
A single Wubao Pavilion is nothing...
Happy Birthday!
Holding the heavy seal in his hand, Lin Yu felt a mountain of pressure.
Helping them regain the Shen family leadership was completely just icing on the cake.
At the time, Lin Yu just wanted to make money; he didn't have that many fancy motives.
Now that he thought about it...
Perhaps to Shen Buyao and Shen Jiuyi, the significance of his actions was completely different.
He felt guilty accepting this gift, but returning it would look even worse.
So, he just went with it.
Lin Yu stuffed it into his pocket and said to Shen Buyao:
Yaoyao, if you ever regret this and come to ask for it back...
Shen Buyao: I definitely won't...
Lin Yu: I definitely won't give it back to you.
Shen Buyao: ???
Lin Yu's feint almost caught Shen Buyao off guard.
Right.
When has this kid ever been polite?
He was always the type who, if given a ray of sunshine, would try to claim the whole sun.
Shen Buyao laughed: You hurry up and go to hell!
Lin Yu raised a finger: Eh?
Shen Buyao slapped her mouth hard: Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey.
Afterward.
Lin Yu wagged his finger and said:
Time is tight. Turn around, lend me your back for a second.
Shen Buyao pointed at herself, eyes wide:
Me? Now?
Lin Yu spread his hands:
Otherwise? Should I turn around?
Shen Buyao looked around, looking like she was steeling her heart.
She immediately turned and walked to the wall, placing her hands against it.
She stepped her feet back from the wall, creating a space to ensure a sufficient curve.
Shen Buyao whispered: Lin Yu, you... be quick this time.
Lin Yu: ???
What insane things is this insane woman thinking?
Even if Lin Yu was horny, he wouldn't do it here!
She sure was cooperative, though!
Smack~
Lin Yu gave her a heavy slap.
Shen Buyao shuddered all over and quickly freed a hand to cover her mouth.
Immediately following that...
Lin Yu took out a greeting card and, using Shen Buyao's back as a table, began writing a message for her.
If I'd known, I wouldn't have needed you to turn around to lend me your back.
If you just stood straight, the effect on the front would be the same, Bro!
Feeling the movement of Lin Yu writing...
Shen Buyao felt a shock run through her mind. "!!!"
So that was it—he wanted to write!

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years.
