Chapter 137 The clever Qingzhu Zhu saw through everything!
"Sorry for making you laugh."
After Qingzhu Zhu and Zhu Ma let go, she wiped the tears from her eyes and said to Zhou Qing, "So, can you please take us around Nottingham City?"
“Yes, I can, but my fees are quite high.”
"How about one thousand gold soul coins?" Qingzhu Zhu seemed to have no idea about money and directly reported the number "one thousand", using gold soul coins as the unit.
"make a deal!"
Zhou Qing was blinded by the money and agreed without hesitation.
"One thousand gold soul coins!" Xiao Wu opened her mouth wide, "I'll come along too, since the mission I've taken on isn't over yet!"
"There's no share for you." Zhou Qing glanced at her and made his words clear first.
"You've got five hundred thousand dollars on the road, and you still care about that one thousand?" Xiao Wu said angrily.
"Why not? That's one thousand gold soul coins! If it's put in my hometown, a family of three can live without working for ten years!" Zhou Qing made an analogy.
"miser!"
"Don't praise me."
"Is that a compliment?"
"I'll just take it as a compliment. I can't control what goes on in your head anyway."
"You still want to control me? Pervert!"
"Have you been infected by that Romantina guy?"
While bickering with Xiao Wu, Zhou Qing said goodbye to Tang San and prepared to take Qingzhu Zhu and her maid Zhu Ma to have a good look around the Notting City.
"Speaking of which, should I call you Zhu Zhuqing or Qingzhu Zhu?" Zhou Qing asked as he walked.
"Let's call it Qingzhu Zhu. If other soul masters from the Xingluo Empire hear it, there might be trouble." Qingzhu Zhu thought for a while and finally decided to use the name Qingzhu Zhu.
"Okay, Miss Qingzhu Zhu." Zhou Qing respected his employer's wishes.
"Can we not be so formal?" Qing Zhuzhu asked softly, "The age difference between us doesn't seem that big, so be more casual and just call each other by our full names."
"The employer comes first. Whatever you say goes." Zhou Qing had no objection.
"How much do you know about the royal family of the Xingluo Empire?" Mother Zhu wanted to find out more about Zhou Qing, a six-year-old child, so she asked tentatively.
"The teachers at Notting Academy will tell students about the basic situation of the major sects and forces on the continent. This seems to be a well-known thing. For example, in the Xingluo Empire, there seem to be many families with the surname Zhu, but the most famous one is the Zhu family, whose martial spirit is the Nether Spirit Cat. It is said that in the past generations, if there were suitable family members, they would marry the descendants of the White Tiger family, because both parties have a martial spirit fusion skill: Nether White Tiger."
Zhou Qing was talking about something that any student who had attended the Junior Soul Master Academy and listened carefully to the lectures would know.
This naturally did not satisfy Zhu Ma, so she asked, "So, you think the young lady is from the Netherworld Spirit Cat family?"
"If you say yes, it is; if you say no, it is no."
Zhou Qing glanced at Zhu Ma, chuckled, and said casually, "I was just exploring the origin of the name before, not analyzing where you came from. After all, who are you? What does it have to do with me? Up to now, the only employment relationship between us is 'One Thousand Gold Soul Coins'."
Mother Zhu's breath was held, but she also realized that she had underestimated Zhou Qing, a six-year-old child who actually knew what he should know and what he shouldn't know.
Qing Zhuzhu was a little disappointed that she was being guarded against, but she also thought Zhou Qing was quite interesting, so she asked, "Would you like to come to my house? My house... is quite big."
Zhou Qing: “······” Why does this sound so familiar?
"Zhou Qing, someone has taken a fancy to you and wants you to be his servant." Xiao Wu touched Zhou Qing's shoulder with a smile and a mocking look in her eyes.
"Please remove the second half of the sentence, thank you."
Zhou Qing glared at Xiao Wu who was playing tricks on him, and thought it would be better to cut off Qing Zhu Zhu's thoughts, so as to avoid further confusion in the future. He said to Qing Zhu Zhu, "Although I really want to go to your house, I'm sorry, there is a thick, sad barrier between us, so I can't go."
"Thick barrier?"
However, Zhou Qing overlooked one point, that is, Qingzhu Zhu was just a six-year-old kid at this time. Even though he was precocious, he definitely could not understand too many "metaphors".
Therefore, in Qingzhu Zhu's understanding, this sentence meant that Zhou Qing had already confirmed that she was from the Netherworld Spirit Cat family, but because of the identity issue between the two, he could not go to her house.
She is not free after all!
What can he, a commoner, change?
Therefore, he could only advise her to do what she wanted in the limited time. After all, she would regret it in the future, so she should just choose the easiest way to live.
really-
A gentle big brother.
Mother Zhu did hear something, but she felt that Zhou Qing had no ambition: "What's your soul power level?"
"I am not talented. I am only level 15."
"Are you really six years old?" When Zhu Ma heard that Zhou Qing's soul power had reached level 15, she was shocked - six years old? Level 15! What kind of monster is this?
But then, Mother Zhu was a little disappointed and asked, "You have such a talent, you should have the ambition to rise to the top. Why don't you come to the Xingluo Empire? With your talent, whether it is practicing as a soul master or being an official, I think you can rise to the top. Why do you have to learn from the common people? You should be the swan!"
Zhou Qing was surprised, but the point of surprise was that there actually was an allusion in this world like "How can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan?"
But then I didn’t think much about it.
After all, when I was in the Holy Soul Village, among the books I read, there was a book called "Pulling Up the Seedlings to Help Them Grow", and the Douluo Continent seemed to have many time and space channels with other planes. The Evil Eye Tyrant in Douluo II seemed to come from another plane - the Throne of Seal of God - Holy Demon Continent.
Therefore, it doesn't seem strange that this world has been visited by travelers from other parallel universes?
"A plain shirt and farmer's fruit wine, a swan may not fly high!"
"The house is clear of dust and the room is full of leisure, why should the sparrows be depressed?"
"Aspirations to reach the sky? Just laugh it off. I advise you not to think about it any more!"
These words were both a response to Zhu Ma and an advice to Qingzhu Zhu not to think too much and to just enjoy life besides practicing.
There are many things in the world that are not as we wish.
Just like the residents walking in Nottingham, most of them rush for three meals a day, rushing and drifting with the flow, without a single day of free time, but when they are with their families, don’t they also have happy smiles?
Moreover, this is also Zhou Qing's statement of his attitude: he will never join any faction! Tiandou, Xingluo, or Wuhun Hall, they are all the same! Don't persuade me! Annoying!
Mother Zhu understood.
But Zhu Zhuqing thought she saw through everything——
Although she is young, she has also been exposed to some ways of being an official. The first sentence is that those who have lofty ambitions should not be too ambitious and should start from a young age; the second sentence is that even if you do not have such lofty ambitions, you do not need to belittle yourself; the third sentence is that if you cannot do the above two points, then you should stop dreaming about the so-called lofty ambitions, because you will definitely fail!
Zhou Qing certainly had lofty ambitions. Although he was in a small environment and had no corresponding resources, he did not belittle himself, but started from a small beginning.
【It’s amazing! 】
