Chapter 404: I Just Don’t Know How to Take a Hint

Lou Mu Yan flew on her sword to the Sect’s Contribution Points Management Office and went to the place where contribution points were exchanged.

There were basically no pupils in the hall where one exchanged for contribution points, which was in great contrast to the lively scene of the nearby hall where the contribution points were being used to exchange for things.

“You want to exchange for contribution points?” A supervisor in the hall asked.

Lou Mu Yan nodded: “Is there a breakdown of the contribution points exchange here?”

The supervisor took out a jade slip and handed it to her with a nonchalant attitude, “Here’s a rough exchange price here. If your item isn’t on it, the value will be given by the Sect Appraiser after appraisal.”

Lou Mu Yan inserted her Mental Energy into the jade slip to check it out. A High-Quality Grade 4 pill could be used to exchange for two thousand contribution points, Grade 5 could be exchanged for five thousand, and Magic Tools were similar.

She furrowed her brows and thought about how to exchange one hundred thousand contribution points. If she used Grade 4 pills to exchange for it, it would take at least fifty pills. She did have them but taking out so many pills at once would definitely attract the attention of other people.

After thinking about it, she took out ten Grade 4 pills, and two Saint Treasures collected from Shen Mu Feng’s interspatial ring, and placed them on the table, “I will trouble supervisor to see how many contribution points these can be exchanged for.”

The supervisor didn’t expect Lou Mu Yan to take out so many things at once and immediately began to count them. Then, with a smile on his face, he said: “The things here can be exchanged for a total of sixty thousand contribution points. Do you want to exchange?”

“Yes.” Lou Mu Yan didn’t hesitate at all, thought about it, then took out a jar of Millennium-Old Royal Jelly and asked: “Supervisor, how many contribution points do you think this can be exchanged for?”

The supervisor opened the jar curiously, and a sweet fragrance emanated from it. His eyes widened, his expression changed, and he said: “This is Scarlet Bee Royal Jelly?”

“Mm.”

“I can’t judge the value of this. It needs to be appraised by the Appraiser of the Sect, please wait a moment.” The supervisor got up and walked towards the second floor of the main hall.

After a while, the supervisor accompanied an old man who appeared to be portly back downstairs.

“This is Old Ye1, the Appraiser of the Sect Contribution Points Management Office.” The supervisor introduced to Lou Mu Yan.

Lou Mu Yan smiled politely and said: “Hello, Old Ye.”

“I heard that you, little girl, took a jar of Scarlet Bee Royal Jelly in to exchange for contribution points?” Old Ye smiled kindly.

“Mm. Old Ye please appraise it.” Lou Mu Yan pushed the Royal Jelly towards him.

Old Ye picked up the jar with great interest, and the expression in his eyes changed as soon as he opened it. He sniffed it in shock, then took a drop and tasted it.

“It’s actually Millennium-Old Royal Jelly.”

“Old Ye has good eyesight.” Lou Mu Yan praised with a smile.

“Do you, little girl, know the value of Royal Jelly? Taking out such a jar like this could cause countless powerhouses to fight for it.” Old Ye said meaningfully.

Just based on what he said, Lou Mu Yan had a little more affection for this Old Ye.

“I know the value of Millennium-Old Royal Jelly, but I urgently need contribution points to exchange for something, so I can only give up my love for it.” Lou Mu Yan revealed a bitter smile and sighed, “I wonder how many contribution points can be exchanged for this jar of Millennium-Old Royal Jelly?”

Old Ye understood to stop reminding, so he weighed the Millennium-Old Royal Jelly in the jar with his hands, then said cautiously: “Millennium-Old Scarlet Bee Royal Jelly is exceptionally rare and has a wide range of uses. Yours is around five hundred grams. This old one won’t cheat you either, how about using one hundred thousand Sect contribution points to exchange for it?”

Lou Mu Yan was slightly surprised inwardly. It seemed that she still underestimated the value of Millennium-Old Royal Jelly. But then she couldn’t help but sigh that Shen Mu Feng’s life sure was cheap.

She thought wickedly that if that arrogant Holy Son of the Devil Race knew that the life of his avatar projection was only worth a jar of Millennium-Old Royal Jelly, would be vomit blood in anger.

“Alright. I’ll exchange.”

Old Ye asked the supervisor to give Lou Mu Yan the contribution points, then smiled and hurriedly left the hall with the Millennium-Old Royal Jelly.

“That’s how Old Ye acts when he obtains something he likes.” Seeing that Old Ye was like a child, hugging the thing and running away, the supervisor smiled awkwardly.

Lou Mu Yan didn’t mind and said: “Old Ye is just being true to himself.”

After greeting the supervisor, Lou Mu Yan turned around and entered the hall adjacent.

This hall was very lively with people coming and going, and when she walked in, she was greeted by a few obscure glances, which she didn’t bother paying attention to.

“You want to exchange for something?” The supervisor asked, looking up at her lightly.

Lou Mu Yan nodded and said straightforwardly: “I want to exchange for the Heavy Water.”

Hearing her words, the originally indifferent supervisor suddenly looked at her again, furrowed his brows and said: “It takes two hundred thousand contribution points to exchange for Heavy Water, do you know?”

“I know, you can just swipe it.” Lou Mu Yan handed over the identity jade tablet. All the contribution points used in the Inner Sect were drawn from it.

The supervisor was stunned for a while, apparently not expecting that a newly promoted Inner Pupil would actually have enough contribution points to exchange for Heavy Water. He took the jade tablet over and checked it, then said after a bit: “Are you sure you want to use two hundred thousand Sect contribution points to exchange for Heavy Water?”

Lou Mu Yan furrowed her brows, and her voice was a little cold: “Why, can’t I exchange for it?”

This supervisor was delaying, it made her feel that something was wrong.

“Then can I ask what you’re going to do with the Heavy Water?” The supervisor continued to ask, ignoring the cold look on her face.

Lou Mu Yan sneered: “No comment!”

“To tell you the truth, there’s only one last piece of Heavy Water left in the Sect, but one of the pupils has already reserved it in advance, so how about you look around and see if there’s anything else you want to exchange.” The supervisor said indifferently.

“Why haven’t I heard that exchanging things can be reserved in advance? Then may I ask supervisor, did that person use contribution points to exchange for it already?” Lou Mu Yan asked coldly.

“Because of some reasons, his contribution points is still not enough, so he already went to collect more.” The supervisor was a little annoyed when he saw that she didn’t listen and said with a threatening tone, “You just entered the Sect and don’t know some rules. I advise you to stop before going over the limits.”

“Stop before going over the limits? Why should I stop?” Lou Mu Yan said with ridicule: “Since the Heavy Water hasn’t been exchanged, then I have every right to exchange for it. Are you trying to use your power for personal gain?”

“You—” The supervisor’s expression darkened, but he didn’t know how to reprimand her because he was indeed using this matter for personal gain, “That person isn’t someone you can afford to offend, so it’s better for you to know when to take a hint in the Inner Sect.”

“You know, about me, I know everything and anything, but I just won’t know to take a hint.” Lou Mu Yan hated when others threatened her the most in her life. Today’s matter definitely wouldn’t be over just like this.

“Don’t refuse to take a toast only to drink a forfeit.” The supervisor had never met such a stubborn and arrogant pupil in the Sect’s Contribution Points Hall like her and said in a low voice with an angry expression.

Lou Mu Yan’s lips hooked into the faintest arc, and she suddenly raised her voice and said: “What do you mean by refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit? Don’t think that just because you’re a supervisor of the Sect’s Contribution Points Management Office, that you can have everything in your hands. I request to see the Managing Elder of the Sect Contribution Points Hall.”

Her loud voice indeed caused the people around to cast curious and surprised gazes towards her, and many pupils who were about to leave also stopped to watch the show.

1so I don’t know if people remember, but around 100 chapters ago was the last appearance of an elder who worked for Ming Xiu called ‘Elder Ye’. Technically in the original Chinese, it’s 叶老. I accidentally translated it to Elder Ye and it stuck, I don’t know how other translators do it, but in this story, I’ve been translating ‘X老’ as ‘Old X’ and ‘X长老’ as ‘Elder X’ etc. But whatever, I’ll leave it for now until I decide to do a huge edit one day if I do HAHA. But anyways, this ‘Old Ye’ (叶老) in this chapter uses the exact same character 叶 (ye) as that ‘Elder Ye’. I have no idea if that’s important or not. XD But I thought to note it.

Random Note: Why am I imagining Lou Mu Yan as a ‘Karen’ asking for the manager? HAHAHA (No disrespect intended to the lovely Karen readers out there if any!) But she rightfully can ask for the manager XD
