Chapter 206: Education
"Repay the money?"
"Yes, I still owe you money. When I was in the Lion Camel Kingdom, I had 200,000 silver claws, and that piece of land..." As he said, the monkey reached out and patted his head, and said seriously: "Oh no, I forgot to ask Yanxi how much the land cost. But it doesn't matter, I have 600,000 silver claws now, so why should it be enough?"
The tears on his face had not dried yet. Hearing this, Ao Tingxin couldn't help but cover her lips and smiled.
"You came to me just to pay back the money?"
"Yes, otherwise what?"
In the dungeon, in the courtyard of the Dragon Mansion, under the dim lights, the two people looked at each other silently.
The last time I spoke was two years ago. That time, I was just a meeting in Yaodu, and I said a few words casually, but there was nothing.
The last time was in Wanshou Mountain.
The monkey blinked blankly and stretched his neck.
Ao Tingxin stared at the monkey quietly.
After a while, the atmosphere became a little awkward, and the monkey suddenly burped.
"You've drunk?"
"Uh, I drank a little, just a little."
"I remember you didn't have a good alcohol tolerance."
"Hey." The monkey grinned and patted his chest and said, "That was the past. My cultivation level has improved now. This little wine is no problem."
"Yes, I almost forgot that you are now a Taiyi Sanxian Cultivator."
Walking to Ao Tingxin's side, the monkey slowly sat on the stone chair with his knees, his eyes wide open, and he unconsciously looked around.
"What's the matter?"
The monkey smiled awkwardly and said, "I came in secret, a little afraid that people would find out."
Upon hearing this, Ao Tingxin couldn't help but smile and said, "You are now a popular person in front of Prime Minister Duomi, and all the demons are worthy of the new nobles. When you come to my Dragon Clan's mansion, why are you still afraid of people discovering it?"
"That's right...but." The monkey said with a frown and said, "Is this a thief? It's normal to be a little guilty."
"After you owe someone money, do you have such a low attitude?"
"That's not the case. I owe a lot of money. Usually after owing money, I will become more domineering. And I have no intention of paying it back at all. With my ability, why should I pay it back, right? Hahahaha."
"Then... why did you remember to pay me back?"
This question immediately made the monkey confused. After thinking for a long time, he could only say hesitantly: "Well... you don't have to pay back the money you owe with your ability. The monkey king gave me money, that's because he had some intentions. Prime Minister Duomei gave me money, that's because he had some hope. You... you still have to pay back your money."
Ao Tingxin said lightly, her eyes drooped, and she fell silent for a moment. She seemed to be thinking about something.
Vaguely, the monkey began to wonder if he had said the wrong thing just now.
It took another long time before Ao Tingxin continued, "Actually, you don't have to pay back my money."
"You... have some intentions about me, too?"
Is there any?
No?
Is there any?
No?
I'm afraid even Ao Tingxin himself can't explain this problem clearly.
After thinking about it, she could only say, "I just think I don't need this money. I heard that your military expenditure is quite tight, so... you don't have to pay it back."
"Is this true? I think the dragon clan is quite concerned."
"Who did you hear that the dragon clan is calculating?"
"I didn't hear anyone say that I have a business with you. I'm personally experiencing it. It's so meticulous. No one can escape. It's clear."
Ao Tingxin was stunned for a moment and said, "Why didn't I know you were doing business with us?"
"I didn't do it directly. Many of the ores in my Huaguo Mountain are sold to your dragon clan through other people."
"Why don't you just look for me?"
"Because..." the monkey scratched his face and said, "Because I owe you money, I'm sorry to see you."
After saying that, the monkey lowered his head. After a while, he quietly raised his head and peeked at Ao Tingxin.
Seeing this, Ao Tingxin could only smile bitterly.
Originally, she wanted to say she didn't have to pay it back, but after all, she didn't dare to say it if she had too much. She could get hundreds of thousands of silver claws, even her private warehouse. In fact, all of this money was paid by herself, and it had nothing to do with the dragon clan's business.
However, looking at the monkey's attitude, the three words "no need to return" are of no use if they say it.
Time passes by bit by bit.
As the monkey expected at the beginning, the atmosphere of the meeting between the two was indeed awkward. Even if he had the ability to pay back the money and could be more reasonable, it would still be the case.
After a while, it seemed that in order to break the embarrassing situation, the monkey had to change the topic and said, "You seemed to have cried just now. Did something happen?"
"No, it's okay, you've read it wrong."
"I've read it wrong?"
"Yes, you read it wrong." Ao Tingxin replied firmly.
"Oh." After a moment of silence, the monkey frowned, his eyes rolled, and then said, "I seem to be reading it right. I am Taiyi Sanxian, how could I even read this thing wrong?"
"Then...that's because I was accidentally..." He hesitated and for a long time, Ao Tingxin didn't know how to say it.
The monkey's brows were frowning even tighter.
At this moment, the crab hurriedly walked from a distance, muttering: "Fourth Princess, these three princes are really..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the monkey sitting next to Ao Tingxin and swallowed all the words to his mouth.
"Hi." The monkey waved at Chi Zheng with a smile and said, "Long time no see."
Chi Zheng was stunned for a moment and had to nod in a daze: "Oh, long time no see."
Maybe he suddenly remembered that the monkey is no longer the little demon in Wanshou Mountain back then. Chi Zheng was shocked and quickly turned his face straight, bowed and said, "Last general, see the general!"
The monkey grinned again: "No... don't be so polite."
Retracting his neck, Chi Zheng walked carefully to Ao Tingxin's side, but his attention was still on the monkey and whispered: "Fourth Princess, the Third Prince is not looking at the account book, it is checking the account."
"I know." Ao Tingxin replied expressionlessly: "We didn't do anything shameful. He wanted to investigate and let him check it."
"Check the account?" The monkey, who was trying to find a topic, suddenly refreshed.
"But, the Fourth Princess, business is full of things. If you insist on finding trouble, you can always find it."
"It doesn't matter." Ao Tingxin closed his eyes and sighed softly: "We just need to have a clear conscience."
"Someone is causing trouble for you?" the monkey suddenly interrupted.
After saying this, Ao Tingxin and Chi Zheng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Is it a third prince?" Before Ao Tingxin could react, the monkey continued to ask, "Do you want me to solve it for you? Just think that I owe you money for so long and give you some interest?"
"What do you want to do?" Ao Tingxin looked at the monkey in surprise.
Slowly clenched his fists, the monkey grinned and said, "Just, help you educate him?"
