Si Qing felt truly wronged by being hit.
He hadn't said a word the entire time. No, he had said a few things, but only to quiet others down.
Qi Yu was attacking indiscriminately.
In fact, Qi Yu was already in a semi-sleep state. After being startled, it was just a subconscious reaction. She had no idea what she was saying, who she was talking to, or even who she had just whipped with her dragon tail.
Therefore, Si Qing, being the only one injured among them, truly felt a bit wronged.
Qi Yu slept for a long time, waking up after a full two days and two nights.
During this time, Yan Hua and the others stayed in the Assassination Pavilion, occasionally visiting the small treasure trove Qi Yu had left there.
Of course, this was all with Qi Yu's prior permission.
Without Qi Yu's consent, they wouldn't even be able to open the door to the treasure vault beneath the Assassination Pavilion.
Initially, Si Qing, Yan Hua, and the others thought that Qi Yu only had a few gold bars hidden in the Assassination Pavilion.
But they never expected that the entire underground palace of the Assassination Pavilion was filled with gold. The gold storage alone would fill eight to ten rooms.
And this was just ordinary gold, not counting the gold artifacts or high-quality spiritual artifacts.
Most crucially, what they saw was only the storage capacity of one Assassination Pavilion.
As everyone knew, Qi Yu had many more places where she hid gold.
Si Qing couldn't help but touch his forehead when he thought of Qi Yu's hoarding behavior, like a squirrel.
He had always known his sister was very rich.
But he never imagined Qi Yu was *that* rich!
No wonder, no wonder the mirror she gave him had a gold casing, and even the way she maintained her mirrors and spiritual artifacts was with gold powder.
Yan Hua, who already considered himself quite wealthy, couldn't help but be amazed when he saw this scene.
Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder the ground of the Assassination Pavilion doesn't collapse no matter how much you step on it. With such a pile of gold as a foundation, of course, it won't collapse no matter how you step on it. It wouldn't matter even if a few demonic beasts came."
"My heavens," Wang Lanqing couldn't believe her eyes. "Qi Yu isn't a poor nobody, but a little rich woman."
Goodness, what a treasure of a friend.
Wang Lanqing's eyes sparkled.
"Calm down, my dear, calm down," Chi Shangming quickly hugged Wang Lanqing, whose eyes were practically gleaming with gold. "All this gold belongs to Qi Yu. She's very fierce, and we can't afford to offend her."
"Nonsense, of course, I know it's hers. Do you think I'm the kind of person who is greedy for money?" Wang Lanqing put her hands on her hips, then secretly rubbed her hands together. "I was just thinking, if I join Qi Yu, can I be her best friend in the South Sea..."
"That way, the next time Qi Yu makes money, she can take me with her!"
Chi Shangming was speechless.
Wang Lanqing didn't care what he thought. She had already prepared to latch onto Qi Yu and follow her around to make money.
Qi Yu didn't know that her small gesture of letting them visit the treasure vault had shocked them so much.
When Qi Yu woke up and saw the complex expressions on everyone's faces as they surrounded her, she felt confused. "Did I sleep for a long time?"
Si Qing, Yan Hua, Chen Xi, Chi Shangming, and Wang Lanqing looked at Qi Yu and nodded.
Qi Yu was puzzled. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
It seemed a little like admiration, but also shock and disbelief.
The more she looked at their expressions, the stranger they became.
"Sister," Si Qing looked at Qi Yu. "How many treasure vaults do you... have in total?"
Qi Yu calculated. "More than a dozen, why?"
