Who’s being Petty?

"Buying silver needles? To poke people? You don't have to buy, I have lots of them at home!" Xue Meining commented, after having a good laugh.

"What? You have lots of them at home?" Ling Yun was surprised and couldn't believe his luck. Just as he had been planning to purchase some, someone offered to give him some.

Xue Meining didn't smile this time. She nodded her head seriously. "Yup, I have plenty at home. Not only silver, we have plenty of gold needles too. You can take your pick!"

"Gold needles? How much do they cost?"

"You don't need to pay me, I'll ask my grandfather to pass you some!" Xue Meining replied proudly, shaking her head as her beautiful braided hair swung in the air.

"Who are you even? Are you purposely trying to toy with me?" Ling Yun questioned cautiously. As the saying goes 'There is no free lunch in this world'.

If Xue Meining was simply toying with him, Ling Yun would not hesitate to become hostile.
