Chapter 70: Not Thick-skinned Enough, Not Enough Spirit Stones

Mo Lan slightly furrowed her brows and said, "Jiujiu, did you not notice something was amiss?"

"Last time, the girl got a lampstand in the Fangshi, and within moments, someone exchanged it for a top-notch Water-Repelling Pearl." Xie Shen then recalled an interesting story mentioned by Xie Jiuniang a few months ago.

At the time, Xie Shen truly thought it was a marvel.

Only now did he realize it was not simple.

Someone behind the scenes had targeted his daughter's opportunity!

Fortunately, with the girl's interference, those people had all dispersed.

Xie Shen gave his daughter a thumbs-up, then immediately asked, "Did the girl make any friends?"

"Yes, I made friends..."

Xie Jiuniang mentioned Zhou Ning, Bai Mudan, and others with insufficient confidence.

Mo Lan and Xie Shen saw through it at a glance but did not expose her.

It greatly relieved Xie Jiuniang.
