Faced with the system's incessant chatter, Qiao Linxi automatically blocked it.

Looking at the elegantly-spoken Shi Yiqian, Qiao Linxi really found it hard to associate him with someone from the gray industry.

Yes, those who were abducted should be young women. Only such a refined gentleman could deceive those young people.

Only his harmless appearance can make people let down their guard.

As for herself, if there had not been a systematic reminder, she would not have thought that such a modest gentleman would be someone engaged in the gray industry.

"Have you forgotten about Yuelai Inn?"

Qiao Linxi: I'm fine.

"If it weren't for Little Jiujiu's reminder, would the host have been able to recognize that the water was problematic? If it weren't for Little Jiujiu, would the host still be able to stroll around here safely?"

The system said so much that Qiao Linxi's ears were callused from talking so much.

Finally, Qiao Linxi felt that she really shouldn't be so cold-blooded. Those trafficked women were in dire straits. Since she had the system to protect her and the system wanted her to participate in this matter, she could only agree.

Shi Yiqian stayed with Qiao Linxi the whole day, and he knew the boundaries, so his words and actions did not make Qiao Linxi feel annoyed.

Qiao Linxi rolled his eyes and randomly found an inn to stay in. The two maids didn't dare to say anything when they saw him.

After all, Qiao Linxi's words asking them to pack up and return to Changfeng were quite intimidating.

"Miss Lin Xi, take a short rest. I'll pick you up for dinner later. I know a restaurant with delicious food."

After Shi Yiqian sent Qiao Linxi to the inn to stay, he left.

Qiao Linxi thought about the instructions given by Old Lady Qiao when she went out in the morning. Seeing Shi Yiqian leave, she started walking towards the Qiao Mansion.

She couldn't stand up Old Mrs. Qiao and Miss Li, whom she had never met.

It was already evening, but the streets were still crowded with people.

"Miss, we should go back."

A woman who was dressed very decently and gracefully was walking on the street accompanied by her maids and old women.

"Miss, isn't it just a country girl who was given the title of princess? Why do you care so much? I have been looking for this gift for a whole day and still can't find a suitable one."

Li Luoyun turned his head to look at the complaining maid and said coldly: "You are a native of Beijing, earn me a princess."

Li Luoyun never thought that Qiao Linxi was a country bumpkin. On the contrary, she even thought that Qiao Linxi was amazing.

Among the young ladies from the aristocratic families in the capital, which one can show herself in front of the emperor and have him grant her a title? Aren't they all living off their fathers?

Since Qiao Linxi was able to get the emperor to confer the title of princess on her, she must have some tricks up her sleeve.

She wanted to make friends, but she didn't know what gift to give.

She was worried that if she gave him something too expensive, he would think she was from Beijing and that giving her something so expensive would be like giving her alms. If she gave him something cheap, she was worried that he would think she looked down on her.

She was troubled by this for a whole day, and the maids and servants who accompanied her carried a lot of things, but she was not satisfied with any of them.

But the things in the capital are nothing more than those: food, clothing, daily necessities, silks, satins, rouge and powder.

Li Luoyun frowned. Her legs were sore after a whole day, but she still hadn't found a satisfactory gift.

Li Luoyun had originally planned to pick the most expensive one if he couldn't find one that satisfied him, but when he was about to get on the carriage, his eyes suddenly lit up.

She quickened her pace and walked forward. The maid thought she had seen something satisfactory, but she stopped in front of a beautiful woman with bright white teeth.

If the maid didn't know her mistress's personality, she would have thought that her mistress fell in love with that woman.

Qiao Linxi looked at the little girl with blushing cheeks who stopped her, feeling a little surprised.

"Sister, please stay..."

Li Luoyun walked a little faster, a little out of breath, and her cheeks were red. This made Qiao Linxi a little wary. Could this girl be a lesbian?

Seeing the alertness in Qiao Linxi's eyes, Li Luoyun knew that he had lost his composure. He coughed lightly and looked at Qiao Linxi with a little apology: "I am abrupt, please don't blame me, sister."

"Are you alright?"

As soon as Qiao Linxi finished asking the question, the system reported the other party's information.

Li Luoyun, fifteen years old, unmarried, his father is the Jingzhao Yin of the capital.

Qiao Linxi raised her eyebrows. Fifteen-year-old Li Luoyun was still unmarried. As far as she knew, girls in this era were married at the age of fifteen. Sixteen or seventeen were considered old maids.

"Don't be afraid, sister. I just prefer beautiful women. I get excited when I see you."

Oh my god, what kind of vicious words are these?

The maid who arrived shortly afterwards just happened to hear these words and was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped.

"Uh..." Li Luoyun felt something was wrong after she finished speaking. Wouldn't it be easy for people to misunderstand her? She explained a few more words. Finally, she explained her purpose.

"Giving gifts is just a formality. It's enough as long as the intention is there."

Qiao Linxi found it a little funny that the girl stopped him just to ask this question.

"But I'm always worried that she won't be satisfied with the gift I give her. This is our first meeting, and the first impression is very important."

Qiao Linxi said: "You don't need to care about what the other person thinks, just be yourself. If you are sincere, the other person will be happy even if it is a cheap thing. If you are not sincere, the other person will not like it even if it is priceless."

"Really?" Li Luoyun looked at Qiao Linxi with sparkling eyes.

"Really, if you give something sincerely, the other person will like it."

The two of them talked a little more, which made Li Luoyun feel that he liked Qiao Linxi even more.

Just as they were about to ask Qiao Linxi's name, someone suddenly bumped into them, then quickly apologized and walked away.

"Ah, ma'am, my purse..."

Li Luoyun's maid accidentally touched her waist and found that her purse was missing.

Qiao Linxi also touched her waist, and found that her jade pendant was gone.

Li Luoyun's face turned pale. She actually encountered a thief. Isn't this just provoking others?

"Go report to the police and give them half an hour to find my purse."

After Li Luoyun gave the maid a cold order, he looked at Qiao Linxi and asked, "Sister, can you check to see if you have lost your purse as well? Don't worry, as long as I am here, those thieves will have to return the stolen items with both hands."

Qiao Linxi smiled and said, "It's okay, they will return my things soon."

After looking at the sky, Qiao Linxi suggested going to the restaurant for dinner. Since Li Luoyun was here, they could be considered to have met before. There was not much difference between meeting here and meeting at Qiao's house.

Seeing Qiao Linxi's calmness, Li Luoyun couldn't help but feel suspicious. Who is this beautiful sister in front of him? Why doesn't she care about losing her wallet?
