This is quite an interesting idea.
"And also..."
Tantai Mingjing continued, her tone carrying a hint of coaxing.
"If you're really short on Spirit Stones, you might as well go find that girl Xuefei. Her father… that is, my younger brother who's completely clueless about mundane affairs, has no idea how much private money his precious daughter has made by scalping information and acting as a middlewoman in secret. It should be more than enough for her to bid on a Token."
She was clearly happy to cause a bit of "trouble" for her own niece, and at the same time probe the relationship between Gu Sheng and Xuefei.
A trace of understanding flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes, but he did not pick up the thread. He only cupped his fists and said,
"Many thanks for the reminder, Uncle."
Yet in his heart, he already had his own plans. Relying on others was never a long-term solution, especially when it came to money.
