Maybe My Soulmate! (GL)

Chapter 181: Confrontation!

"Four hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones," Mo Yuxin repeated icily. "Are you planning to return them? Or shall I start collecting interest?"

Bai Xuzhen visibly shuddered. "I-I was going to pay you back! Truly! You know I would never deceive you, Second Senior Sister—"

Mo Yuxin's cold stare intensified.

Bai Xuzhen yelped. "B-But surely... you wouldn't be so cruel to your poor, helpless junior sister? We are practically family, are we not?" She batted her lashes in a dramatic show of innocence.

Mo Yuxin remained unmoved. "Family doesn't swindle each other out of four hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones, Bai Xuzhen."

Bai Xuzhen whimpered.

Seeing her beloved so distressed, Xu Xian finally spoke. Her tone was calm but firm.

"Second Sister, you know Bai Xuzhen's nature," she said smoothly. "She is hopelessly greedy, yes. But she's not malicious. Surely there is some... flexibility to be had here?"

Mo Yuxin exhaled slowly. "Senior sister, if you had lent out four hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones, would you be so flexible?"

Xu Xian paused. Then, reluctantly, "...No."

Bai Xuzhen turned to Xu Xian, eyes wide with betrayal.

"Xianxian! Whose side are you on?"

Xu Xian coughed, looking mildly apologetic. "Yours, of course, love. But Mo Yuxin is... not unreasonable."

Bai Xuzhen groaned dramatically, leaning her full weight against Xu Xian. "This is a conspiracy against me!"

Mo Yuxin finally, finally allowed the faintest ghost of a smirk to appear.

She had no real intention of demanding the full sum. She had just wanted to watch Bai Xuzhen squirm a little.

"You're lucky I have a soft spot for you," she murmured, her tone still cool but with the slightest hint of amusement. "Otherwise, I'd be taking my payment right now."

Bai Xuzhen shuddered. "Second Senior Sister, you are too kind. Truly, an angel in human form."

Mo Yuxin chuckled lightly, stepping back. "You have one month."

Bai Xuzhen immediately straightened. "Ah, yes! One month! That is... plenty of time!" She laughed nervously.

Mo Yuxin gave her a final, knowing glance. "Don't disappoint me, little fox."

With that, she turned and left, her figure vanishing down the path like an elegant shadow.

"Please, Yuxin Yuanjun, give our Yuanjun justice."

"If Yujing doesn't welcome our Yuanjun, there is no need for our Yuanjun to stay here."

"May I ask if this is what the Master meant?"

...

Su Yubing looked at Mo Yuxin's increasingly gloomy expression, and with a "tsk," she stood up and said, "What's the point of you yelling at her? Don't you know that I have the final say in Shangyue Peak now? For example, right now, I can make the formation spirit throw you out with just a flick of my finger."

"How dare you!" A servant was so angry at Su Yubing's attitude that he felt dizzy.

Mo Yuxin looked at Su Yubing's expression which suddenly turned cold and said secretly, "Not good." Sure enough, the next moment, all the visitors from Bailing Peak were thrown out of Shanglong Peak, without a single one left.

Mo Yuxin sighed and said, "Doing this will be a slap in the face of Yuxue Yuanjun. After all, she was brought back by my master."

Su Yubing didn't care about that. She smiled and said, "Then why not just make her lose face? She is the elder, after all. Is she going to embarrass someone like me who is terminally ill? From now on, I will take over Shanglong Peak. This is to repay you in advance on behalf of Ying'er."

Mo Yuxin felt that Su Yubing was wrong, but she didn't know how to refute her. She frowned and stroked the beads on her wrist, and said, "This matter needs Master's approval."

Su Yubing knocked on the table and said with a smile: "If your master didn't nod, how could the Shanglong Peak formation spirit fall into my hands?"

The servants from Bailing Peak were thrown to the sword training ground, causing an uproar.

"If I hadn't dodged quickly, I would have been hit." A disciple said with lingering fear.

"Why were they thrown out?"

"I know about this! The evil slave is bullying her master!" The disciple who answered gritted his teeth and handed the "Hongmeng Order" to his fellow disciple. "Look, the monthly allowance received by Yuanjun of Bailing Peak is on par with that of the headmaster, but it has been squandered in less than a month. Why do you think it is? Yuanjun never leaves the house. I'm afraid that the people at the top of the peak deceived their superiors and secretly spent all of Yuanjun's monthly allowance. That's not enough, but they even rely on Yuanjun's name to go to Shanglong Peak to ask for spirit stones!"

"It's true! If it weren't for Senior Brother Bai Lingfeng who couldn't stand it and exposed it on Hongmeng, we would have been kept in the dark!"
