Afterwards, Jiang Mo and Lin Junjun followed the crowd towards the exit, and just as they stepped out, they happened to bump into Mu Qingxue and her group.
When Mu Qingxue saw Jiang Mo, a hint of surprise appeared on her face, and then she smiled brightly and said, "Jiang Mo, you're here too?"
Jiang Mo also smiled and replied, "Qingxue, what a coincidence. You're really generous today, buying two Electrodes at once. You truly are a rich woman."
His tone carried a touch of teasing, and his eyes were full of amusement.
Mu Qingxue chuckled softly, then gestured for the butler beside her to hand a Poké Ball containing a Hisuian Voltorb to Jiang Mo, saying, "Actually, I had a plan when I bought the two Electrodes. One was for my family, and the other, I intended to give to you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mo's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with disbelief, and he exclaimed in surprise, "For me? This is too valuable, how can I accept it?"
Mu Qingxue pursed her lips slightly, a hint of seriousness in her eyes, and said, "Just take it. You've helped me so much before, helping Ralts heal its hidden injuries, evolving Eevee into Sylveon, and even taking me to eat delicious ice cream."
"I've never properly thanked you, and I know you only seem to have two Pokémon right now, so I wanted to give you this special Electrode."
As Jiang Mo listened to Mu Qingxue's words, a warm current surged through his heart, but he hesitated for a moment, as this Electrode was not actually within the scope of his subsequent team considerations.
However, Jiang Mo ultimately reached out and took the Poké Ball, saying, "Alright then, Qingxue, thank you for the gift. I really like it."
At this moment, Lin Junjun, who had been standing beside Jiang Mo, her eyes darting around mischievously, leaned forward and shouted playfully, "Wow, sister-in-law is so generous! Is this a token of love for my brother?"
As she spoke, she also winked at Jiang Mo, her mischievous appearance making it hard to suppress a laugh.
When Mu Qingxue heard Lin Junjun's words, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she gave her a chiding look, saying, "Jun Jun, don't talk nonsense."
But there was no trace of anger in her eyes, only a hint of shyness.
The butler nearby, upon hearing Lin Junjun's address, twitched his face and secretly groaned in his heart.
He thought to himself that this little girl was truly outspoken, and his young lady's thoughts had been so directly called out. If this were to spread, what would become of it?
He looked at Jiang Mo with complex eyes, then at his young lady, already calculating in his mind how to report this complicated situation to the family head upon their return.
This scene was also witnessed by the Fujiwara Family, led by Fujiwara Rine, not far away.
Fujiwara Rine had long wanted to find an opportunity to make friends with Mu Qingxue, and seeing this chance, she moved gracefully forward.
With a polite smile on her face, she respectfully said, "Presumably, this is Miss Qingxue of the Mu Family? I've heard so much about you, and seeing you today, your extraordinary temperament truly stands out."
"I am Fujiwara Rine of the Fujiwara Family. Miss Qingxue's charm has inspired me, and I've come specifically to get to know you, hoping we can communicate more in the future."
Mu Qingxue nodded slightly, smiling as she replied, "Miss Fujiwara, you're too kind. It's my honor to meet you as well."
Fujiwara Rine's gaze then shifted to Jiang Mo, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes as she asked, "And this is?"
Mu Qingxue smiled and introduced, "This person is extraordinary. The new hybrid Tree Fruit, the new Eevee evolution, and the friendship evolution theory were all researched by him. He is hailed as a genius Researcher."
Upon hearing this, Fujiwara Rine's eyes lit up, and she said, "So you are Mr. Jiang Mo. It's truly better to see than to hear. It's a great honor to have the chance to meet both of you today."
Jiang Mo scratched his head a little awkwardly and said, "Miss Fujiwara, you flatter me. I just did some research that interested me."
"And what about me!" Lin Junjun said indignantly, wondering why they didn't introduce her when they introduced others.
Jiang Mo smiled helplessly and said, "This is my cousin, her name is Lin Junjun."
Fujiwara Rine was also very polite, smiling and saying, "Miss Jun Jun is also very cute. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Hmph, right!"
......
Fujiwara Rine smiled and said, "It's truly rare to have the good fortune to meet all of you today."
"I know there's a very nice café nearby. If you don't mind, I'd like to invite everyone to go together, rest a bit, and make it easier for us to chat."
Everyone readily agreed and walked together towards the café.
While waiting for the coffee to be served, Lin Junjun couldn't sit still.
She tugged at Jiang Mo's sleeve, her eyes sparkling as she said, "Brother Jiang Mo, Sister-in-law Qingxue, I haven't seen Sylveon yet. Can I see it, please?"
Jiang Mo smiled helplessly and nodded.
Seeing this, Mu Qingxue generously released Gardevoir, Togepi, and Sylveon, and Jiang Mo also released Pikachu, letting them play with Lin Junjun.
Jiang Mo saw that Gardevoir had evolved, and a look of delight appeared in his eyes as he said, "Qingxue, your Kirlia has evolved into Gardevoir, it's become even more beautiful!"
Gardevoir seemed to understand Jiang Mo's words, happily circling around Jiang Mo, conveying its joy through telepathy.
At this moment, Fujiwara Rine's gaze fell on the Poké Ball containing the Hisuian Voltorb in Jiang Mo's hand. After a moment of hesitation, she spoke, "Mr. Jiang Mo, I heard that Miss Qingxue gave you a Hisuian Voltorb."
"To be frank, I came here this time to ask if you would be willing to transfer it to me."
"Our Fujiwara Family is very curious about the Xicui Secret Realm, and this Electrode might allow us to gain a deeper understanding of the environment there."
"Of course, I won't let you suffer a loss. I can offer you a satisfactory price."
Jiang Mo's heart stirred when he heard Fujiwara Rine's words.
The price of this Hisuian Voltorb would definitely drop significantly after the Xicui Secret Realm was fully opened. Selling it now would undoubtedly be a good option.
However, this was, after all, a gift from Mu Qingxue, and he had to consider her feelings.
So, he gestured to Gardevoir with his eyes, and through his telepathic connection with Gardevoir, he conveyed his thoughts and the actual situation of the Hisuian Voltorb to Gardevoir, asking it to relay the message to Mu Qingxue.
Gardevoir walked to Mu Qingxue's side, closed its eyes, and conveyed Jiang Mo's meaning.
After understanding, Mu Qingxue looked at Jiang Mo and nodded slightly, indicating her agreement with his decision.
After receiving Mu Qingxue's tacit approval, Jiang Mo turned to Fujiwara Rine and said, "Miss Fujiwara, since Qingxue has no objections, I will transfer this Hisuian Voltorb to you. As for the terms, you can offer what you deem appropriate; I believe you are a straightforward person."
A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Fujiwara Rine's face, and she quickly said, "Mr. Jiang Mo, rest assured, I will definitely give you a satisfactory price. This Electrode is truly very important to me. Thank you very much."
After the deal was concluded, Fujiwara Rine handed a bank card to Jiang Mo, saying, "Mr. Jiang Mo, the Pokémon Coins in here should be enough to express my sincerity."
"In the future, if there's anything you need my Fujiwara Family's help with, please don't hesitate to ask."
Jiang Mo took the bank card and smiled, saying, "Miss Fujiwara, you're too kind. I hope this Electrode can be of some help to you."
