Tang Li Xue gritted her pearl-white teeth as she blushed even harder in embarrassment.
"It is eighty billion credits..." Tang Li Xue stated it again louder while she closed her topaz blue eyes and no longer dared to look at Xu Yang.
Xu Yang’s cold expressionless face almost cracked when he heard Tang Li Xue’s answer.
He even suspected that the Fox Clan was deliberately deceiving Tang Li Xue, so they could control her with that eighty billion credits debt.
A horrible scenario played in Xu Yang’s head.
The Fox Clan somehow got the news that Tang Li Xue had some connection with him, then they used an evil scheme to trap Tang Li Xue in an enormous debt, so they could use Tang Li Xue to seduce and control him.
The Fox Clan deliberately gave a mission for Tang Li Xue to deliver a very valuable item to someone.
But when that very valuable item was delivered, it had already been broken, which forced Tang Li Xue to incur such an enormous debt.
Xu Yang squinted his eyes dangerously and asked Tang Li Xue again: "Did they treat you badly?"
"They? Who?" Tang Li Xue asked back in puzzlement.
"Fox Clan. Is it possible that they made you incur that much debt on purpose?" Xu Yang tried to inquire.
Tang Li Xue hastily shook her head and denied Xu Yang’s speculation in a firm tone: "That is impossible!"
"Then how could you suddenly bear such a huge debt?" Xu Yang questioned with a tone filled with suspicion.
Tang Li Xue’s topaz blue eyes darted to the left and right while her forehead and back were already soaked in cold sweat.
To be honest, Tang Li Xue did not want to tell anything about it because it all started from her trying to repair her [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda].
[Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] was one of her biggest hidden trump cards that could attract anyone’s coveting, so the fewer people who knew about it, the better it would be.
But Xu Yang clearly would not let Tang Li Xue go just like that.
"I understand. You cannot say it to me, right? So, the Fox Clan is really using such a despicable means to..." Xu Yang concluded from Tang Li Xue’s fidgeting reaction.
Tang Li Xue hastily interrupted Xu Yang halfway and explained: "No, it is definitely not Fox Clan’s fault! Well, it was all because of my own fault."
"Uhh, it all began when I... borrowed a room to fix my treasure, then... an accident happened and..." Tang Li Xue’s voice became smaller and smaller until it was almost inaudible in shame.
"And then what?" Xu Yang curiously asked.
"And then... err, the entire building was broken and almost collapsed." Tang Li Xue lowered her head and covered her blushing face in embarrassment.
Xu Yang’s mouth twitched slightly in amazement mixed with disbelief.
"You were trying to fix your treasure, but you ended up almost tearing down the entire building? Are you sure you are really trying to fix your treasure, not detonating it?" Xu Yang inquired suspiciously.
Tang Li Xue: "....."
She also did not expect something like that to happen, okay?! So, could you please stop bringing that up again?!
Could you not see that she had already been almost dying in embarrassment?!
Tang Li Xue secretly mocked Xu Yang in her heart by saying in her heart: ’You damn insensitive cold guy! No wonder that you are still single until now!’
"Pffft~! Bwahahaha~! You... You are truly a unique lady! Hahahaha~!" The Taoist uncle, who had heard everything, finally could not bear it anymore and laughed out loud.
Xu Yang did not laugh at Tang Li Xue and rubbed his forehead instead to ease his headache.
Xu Yang had to admit that he really could not read Tang Li Xue at all.
Everything that happened to her was so absurd that Xu Yang could no longer tell if it was all coincidences or not.
"I understand. You can go back now." Xu Yang took a deep breath and said to Tang Li Xue.
"O, oh... Okay..." Tang Li Xue nodded before she sighed in relief as if she had been pardoned from the heavy punishment.
The Taoist uncle dispelled the formation and pushed open the door to let Tang Li Xue walk out of the room.
After Tang Li Xue stepped out from Xu Yang’s courtyard, she felt so relieved as if a mountain-like burden had been lifted off her shoulders.
But then, she suddenly realized that she actually did not need to explain so much to Xu Yang because most of them were her personal matters.
Her guilt was immediately replaced by irritation and displeasure.
