2791 Free Rice!
If other people saw this, they would at most marvel at the mountain peak floating in the sky. They simply wouldn’t be able to explain it.

While faintly discerning her admiration, Yun Piaomiao sized up the little lady and broke free with a smile. “This child has a good eye of discernment!”

“Is there a reward?” Qiao Mu apatheticly asked Dao Seeking, “Such as halving the rent and the like.”

Mo Lian and the others nearly laughed out loud.

/Don’t be fooled by the little fellow’s poker face. She was breaking down on the inside right now!/

Yun Piaomiao faintly discernible laughed out loud and said with a shake of her head, “I can’t.”

The little lady’s stoic petite face remained stoic. “Do you still need to pay rent? How many servants are there inside? Do you need to feed them??”

Everyone: …

“Hahahahaha!” Yun Piaomiao faintly discernible guffawed while clutching her stomach.

The little lady looked at him like he was a nutcase from the looks.

/What is there to laugh at?/

/Shouldn’t she ask about this?/

/Wouldn’t it be a significant waste to provide for a group of idlers?/

“For a monthly rent of 20 thousand, which includes cleaning, garden maintenance, kitchen staff, and daily meals!”

“Of course, if you’re not satisfied with the vegetables, melons, fruits, and other items provided by the academy and wish to supplement your meals, you’ll need to purchase them yourself.”

As Yun Piaomiao noticed a slight furrowing of the young lady’s brow, she reassured her, “No need to worry. The food served to the privileged court members consists of fresh vegetables, meat, melons, and fruits daily. It’s of high quality and plenty for ten portions!”

“Oh, food included!” That was a bit better.

Little Fatty, Qi Xuanxuan, and the others found relief upon hearing this news…

“Alright!” Qiao Mu nodded firmly, her petite head bobbing.

It was a relief that they desired a larger living space. Now, everyone could have their own accommodations instead of splitting into twos on the east and west sides, which would have made it inconvenient for conversations. In such a scenario, notifying the entire residential area would have been a hassle.

With Qiao Mu’s nod, Crown Prince Mo, Duan Yue, Duanmu Qing, and Lu Yu hastily started to settle the payment.

Yun Piaomiao couldn’t help but curl her lip when she witnessed their actions.

“These incredibly wealthy individuals are clearly quite affluent, yet they’re pretending to haggle and bargain. What a group of shameless individuals. If only I had known, I wouldn’t have included the cost of food!”

In the end, Crown Prince Mo was the first to pay, and after promising to cover the expenses for the next month, the others fell silent.

Qiao Mu, who was secretly wealthy, watched them silently before putting away the money pouch she had intended to use.

Previously, Old Sir Old Master Duan had gifted her a Storage Talisman, which held an additional five million spirit currency.

Adding that to the 150 million from Mu Jingfeng on the peak…

And the cash from each family’s compensation back then…

The extraordinarily wealthy Miss Qiao currently held close to 200 million spirit currency in her possession.

Even with an annual rent of 240 thousand, Miss Qiao could comfortably reside here for several centuries…

“Alright, let’s proceed as planned.” Suddenly, Miss Qiao regretted engaging in pointless banter with Yun Piaomiao earlier. She had wasted half the day haggling over a trivial sum of money.

“So exhausting!”

“Why haven’t you shown us the way?” Lady Qiaoqiao shot a glance at Yun Piaomiao, who was barely concealing a smirk.

Dean Yun couldn’t help but find the situation both amusing and exasperating. “Follow me!”
They made their way to Winterwood Court.

This was one of the four prestigious superior-class residential courts within the student living area.

In less than 15 minutes, the news had spread like wildfire throughout the academy that another incredibly affluent individual had taken up residence in Winterwood Court, paying a monthly rent of 20 thousand.

Previously, the presence of such wealthy tenants in Autumn Peace Court and Summer Break Garden for two consecutive days had already left everyone astounded.
