The Gu Family owned numerous gemstone mines, so their clan members could purchase gemstones at cost—a significant discount compared to market prices.
'She could get the gemstones on the list for forty or fifty Magic Stone Coins at most. That wasn't a lot of money.' With this in mind, Gu Lin readily agreed.

"YIYI!!"
Xiaoyi looked up at him, her eyes misty with tears, as if accusing Pei Ze of the heinous crime of leaving her home alone for three whole days.
"There, there. I'm back now, aren't I?"
Pei Ze chuckled and took out some nectar, dangling it in front of Xiaoyi.
