Chapter 71 - The Overpriced Tea Stand

nSince they were going to Cloud Mirror Academy tomorrow, Gu Bailu didn’t work that night.

nIn the morning on the next day, she brought Ah Luo to Cloud Mirror Academy’s office in Pale Emperor City.

nCloud Mirror Academy was too far away from Pale Emperor City. Horses weren’t an option.

nThankfully, it was possible to be teleported from their offices to Cloud Mirror Academy.

nIt wasn’t until Gu Bailu saw their portal that she realized that her teleportation runes had been in effect here for hundreds of years.

nNo wonder Shao Di had been able to change her trajectory so easily.

nIt seemed that there was still plenty to learn.

nGu Bailu was even more certain of her decision to go to Cloud Mirror Academy.

nAfter she gave the receptionist the invitation card, the person didn’t ask anything, and merely drew a green circle.

nGu Bailu was about to walk into it, when somebody shouted from behind her, “Sister, wait for me!”

nThe gentle daughter of the Gu family was out of breath.

n“I thought you weren’t coming. Let’s go.” Not caring whether or not Gu Wanqin was exhausted, Gu Bailu dragged her into the portal.

nAh Luo followed them.

nIn the blink of an eye, they found themselves in front of a monument made of jade. There was a mountain covered in mist in the distance.

nThe words “Cloud Mirror Academy” glittered on the surface of the monument, and emanated immense power.

nIn front of the monument was a stand, where an old man was selling tea.

nA few disciples in white clothes were chatting casually.

nThe old man hurried to greet them when he saw them. “New disciples, please wait for your masters here.”

nGu Bailu looked at the wooden sign next to the stand. All kinds of teas were offered here.

nHowever, she almost peed her pants when she saw the prices.

nFive hundred bucks for a cup of green tea?

nWhy not just go out and rob someone?

nEven the most extravagant tea she had ever drank hadn’t been more than fifty bucks a cup.

nAs for the desserts, they were even more expensive.

nGu Bailu was quite angry at the few disciples who were enjoying themselves.

nShe forgot that food and accommodation at Cloud Mirror Academy weren’t free.

nMost of the money she won in Ronghua Tower had been spent on artifacts. Now, she only had several thousand bucks left.

nSeveral thousand bucks was enough to last ordinary people a lifetime.

nHowever, she didn’t know that Cloud Mirror Academy would be so overpriced!

nHad she known, she would have solicited more money from the general’s house.

n“Sister, let’s take a break inside.” Gu Wanqin was still catching her breath.

nThe sun was high, and there were bushes all around. There wasn’t any other place to rest at all.

n“Of course. As the servant, remember to pay the bill.” Gu Bailu hadn’t brought her out of kindness.

nShe wouldn’t spend any money on Gu Wanqin.

nShe walked in and asked for three cups of green tea.

n“I would like a cup of Longjing,” Gu Wanqin hurried to say.

nShe certainly wouldn’t have the cheap green tea. She had much more money than the loser.

n“Then, Longjing it is.” Gu Bailu followed along. Gu Wanqin’s money was from her family. Why would she and Ah Luo have more inferior tea?

nAfter all, she was certain that Gu Wanqin’s mother had given her enough money before she left.

nGu Wanqin was more than furious, but she had to pretend to be generous.

nI’ll just let things go your way for now.
