Chapter 139 Pay back the money
Xu Yuan fainted, and Xu Yan naturally had no intention of walking on the street, so he carried Xu Yuan back home.
It was past four in the afternoon when Xu Yuan woke up.
"Uh, it's that feeling again." Xu Yuan sat up from the bed, rubbed his head and said.
Xu Yan was reading a comic book nearby. When he saw Xu Yuan wake up, he said, "Another me, you're awake."
"Yeah." Xu Yuan nodded and said, "What time is it now?"
"Don't you have a watch?" Xu Yan first complained, then looked at the clock on the wall and said, "Four thirteen."
"We still have some time, shall we go out and play some more?" Xu Yuan looked at Xu Yan and said.
"Okay." Xu Yan put away the comic in his hand and said.
Xu Yuan and Xu Yan walked out of the bedroom and saw Minian and Lan Siyuan cleaning the living room.
Xu Yuan and Xu Yan said goodbye to them and left home.
The two walked aimlessly on the street. After thinking for a while, Xu Yuan decided to go find Hu Tao to play.
Xu Yuan knew that there was a Homa Staff in Hu Tao's bedroom, and she wanted to try to get Hu Tao to take it out and let her play with it.
When Xu Yuan and Xu Yan walked to the gate of Wangsheng Hall, Xu Yan sensed that there were two people in the hall. Then he used his clairvoyance to see Hu Tao who was being trained by Xue Li and said, "Another me, there are two people in the hall, besides Hu Tao, there is Xue Li."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan asked in confusion: "Xue Li? Why is he here?"
Xu Yan retracted his gaze, shrugged and said, "I don't know either. Let's just go in. They may not be able to hear us knocking on the door from such a distance."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan nodded and said, "Okay."
The two of them jumped up, jumped over the gate and wall of the Hall of Rebirth, and came to the bluestone path.
As they walked along the bluestone path, they saw Hu Tao practicing fireball magic on the rock platform, and Xue Li sitting in the pavilion drinking tea.
Hu Tao was a little confused when she saw Xu Yuan and Xu Yan. She remembered that the gate was closed, but when she thought about the magic in this world and Xue Li's direct teleportation, it was not difficult for her to climb over her five-meter-high wall.
Xue Li was also stunned when he saw Xu Yuan and Xu Yan. He never thought that Hu Tao would know them. After all, if he hadn't happened to meet them, with their identities, it would be basically impossible for them to meet each other.
When Xu Yuan saw that Hu Tao could use the fireball technique, and since Xue Li was here, he immediately understood who the old friend Xue Li had mentioned before was.
Xu Yuan waved to the two of them and said with a smile, "Hu Tao, Teacher Xue, I didn't expect you two knew each other."
Hu Tao looked back and forth between Xu Yuan, Xu Yan, and Xue Li, and said in surprise, "You all know each other!"
Xue Li put down the teacup in his hand, used the power of the earth to come to Hu Tao, nodded and said: "Yes, Master Hu, the friend who gave me the candy is this Miss 'Witch'."
Hearing Xue Li addressing Xu Yuan, Hu Tao looked at Xu Yuan and said in surprise: "'Witch'? Annika, are you the youngest magic researcher?"
Xu Yuan nodded and said, "It's me."
After seeing Xu Yuan's confirmation, Hu Tao was very shocked that the first friend she made in this world turned out to be a high-ranking official in the kingdom.
The four of them moved to the pavilion. Xu Yuan and Xu Yan took out cakes and juice and placed them on the stone table. They ate together and started chatting.
"Annika, where do you buy that kind of candy? I really like the taste and want to buy some." Hu Tao has now recovered and regained his energy. He looked at Xu Yuan and said.
"I bought the candy at the dessert shop opposite the Magic Association. I have some left, so I'll give it to you. I think it's convenient for me to buy more." After Xu Yuan finished speaking, he took out five candies and threw them to Hu Tao.
Walnut was now stronger and had a much faster reaction time. He caught the five candies easily and said with a smile, "Thank you, Annika. How much is this candy?"
"The price is not expensive, ten for one silver coin." Xu Yuan picked up a piece of butter bread and took a bite, then said.
Upon hearing this, Hu Tao's hand, which was unpacking the candy, trembled and almost dropped the candy on the ground. She looked at Xu Yuan and said in shock, "How much?"
Ten pieces cost one silver coin, and one piece costs ten copper coins. Hu Tao's daily meal cost thirty copper coins before, so on average a meal cost ten copper coins. This piece of candy is equivalent to a meal for Hu Tao.
Seeing Hu Tao's shocked expression, Xu Yuan was a little confused and asked, "Hu Tao, is there something wrong with this price?"
Hu Tao came to her senses and remembered that Xu Yuan was a magic researcher, while she was a person who had to budget even for meals, so their consumption levels were definitely not on the same level.
Walnut shook his head and said, "No problem."
At this time, Xue Li suddenly remembered that he still owed Xu Yuan money, and said, "Ms. 'Witch', I said before that I would return the money to you, but to my shame, I always forget it. Now that I remember it, I will return the money to you right away."
Xu Yuan looked at Xue Li suspiciously and asked, "Teacher Xue, do you have any money?"
Xue Li said calmly, "Of course I didn't bring any, but I left all my money with Master Hu."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan and Xu Yan smiled in a gossipy manner and looked between Xue Li and Hu Tao.
Xu Yan looked at Xue Li and said, "I didn't expect you to hide it so well, Xue Li. If the teachers and students in the academy knew about this, I don't know what would happen."
"Hu Tao, when did you get together with Teacher Xue?" Xu Yuan looked at Hu Tao and said.
Hu Tao was a little confused by the gossiping smiles of the two people and didn't react, but she still answered Xu Yuan's question: "I just met Xue Keqing yesterday. Since his house is small, I asked him to move to Wangsheng Hall."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan's smile widened and he continued to ask, "Are you still living together?"
Hu Tao shook her head and said, "Not yet. Mr. Xue will wait until the rent there is due before moving in."
Xue Li understood what Xu Yuan and Xu Yan meant, and also realized that what he said before was not rigorous.
Seeing that Xu Yuan wanted to ask more, Xue Li coughed lightly and said, "Ms. 'Witch', Miss Annie, Hall Master Hu and I are not in that kind of relationship. You know that I don't usually carry money, so I signed a contract with Hall Master Hu. I will leave the money with Hall Master Hu, and Hall Master Hu will help me deal with the bills."
When Xu Yuan and Xu Yan heard Xue Li's words, the smiles on their faces gradually disappeared.
When Hu Tao heard Xue Li's words and combined them with Xue Li's previous sentence, she finally realized what Xu Yuan and Xu Yan's smiles just now meant, and her face flushed slightly.
When Xue Li mentioned that incident before, she didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, she didn't have any choice at the time and didn't think much about it. If she didn't agree, she really didn't know what to do next.
Now seeing the smiles of Xu Yuan and Xu Yan, she realized that this matter was indeed easy to make people think wrongly. If there were more people in the Hall of Rebirth, it might be okay. But now she was alone, and it was strange no matter how she thought about it.
