Chapter 171: He’s the Only One Who Made a Fool of Himself!_1

Not selling?

Everyone was slightly startled, not expecting the shopkeeper to say such a thing.

"Not selling?"

Wang Shengshuang looked at the old man dissatisfied, "You open a shop here, yet you don’t sell your goods, are you joking around?"

The old man glanced at Wang Shengshuang, "Whether I sell my stuff or not, what’s that to you?"

Wang Shengshuang was left speechless by the old man’s retort.

Yin Tian, however, raised an eyebrow, "Then may I ask, how can I get this Fire-Repelling Vine from you?"

"Exchange goods for goods."

The old man spoke slowly and deliberately, "Bring me something that satisfies me, and I’ll give you the Fire-Repelling Vine for free."

Exchange goods for goods?

The crowd exchanged looks of surprise, not expecting such a strange rule in this shop.

Yin Tian raised an eyebrow again, looking at the old man in front of him, "Exchange goods for goods?"

"Exactly."

The old man seemed somewhat listless as he spoke, propping his face with his hand and still appearing half asleep.

"That’s simple."

Yin Tian said with a smile, then walked towards the door.

Chen Yu and Zhao Wanlin looked at Yin Tian in confusion, not knowing what he was about to do, yet they still followed him out.

They saw Yin Tian step out of Wanyao Tower, then squat down on the ground, picking up an ice pop stick and starting to dig.

"Yin Tian, what are you doing?"

Chen Yu looked at Yin Tian, completely baffled by his actions.

Yin Tian didn’t answer Chen Yu’s question, simply continuing to dig earnestly.

Soon, there was a small hole in the ground.

After that, Yin Tian used the stick to poke around in the hole, and then picked out a red insect about the length and thickness of a pinky finger.

"Oh my!"

Chen Yu let out an exclamation.

Girls often feel a sense of fear towards insects like these.

But Yin Tian’s eyes brightened, and he reached out to pick up the insect from the ground.

He held the insect in his hand and turned to go back inside Wanyao Tower.

"Is this enough?"

Yin Tian placed the insect on the counter and looked at the old man with a smile.

"Yin Tian, have you gone mad?"

Glancing at the insect on the counter, Wang Shengshuang burst into a sneering laugh, "You picked up an insect from outside and brought it back? If there were a pile of dog poo out there, would you bring that back too?"

Yin Tian didn’t bother with Wang Shengshuang, focusing instead on the old man behind the counter.

"This should be correct."

Hearing Yin Tian’s words, the old man finally opened his eyes a bit wider and looked at the insect on the counter.

With just one look, the old man’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the insect.

"This... this..."

The old man was so shocked that he couldn’t speak.

"Hmm?"

Wang Shengshuang watched the old man with surprise.

He couldn’t understand why the old man was showing such an astonished expression upon seeing the insect that Yin Tian had just dug out of the ground.

"This is..."

The old man’s voice trembled as he tried to shift his gaze from the insect to Yin Tian, his eyes ablaze with passion.

"That’s right, it is a Medicine Insect, and you’re quite lucky, it’s one of the better ones."

Yin Tian seemingly knew what the old man wanted to say and promptly spoke, "I see that your health is in need, probably requiring this Medicine Insect as a catalyst, right?"

The old man nodded again and again, his eyes burning with fervor.

As for Chen Yu and Zhao Wanlin, they both watched Yin Tian and the old man, not understanding what the two were discussing.

"Take it with you, as for the Fire-Repelling Vine, I’ll take it now."

"Take it, take it, don’t be polite with me."

The old man waved his hand, his eyes unable to focus on anything else but the insect.

Yin Tian’s eyes twinkled with amusement as he walked over to the side, opened the glass jar, and took out the Fire-Repelling Vine.

"Let’s go."

Yin Tian addressed Chen Yu and Zhao Wanlin.

Chen Yu and Zhao Wanlin followed Yin Tian out, still clueless.

However, just as they reached the doorway, Yin Tian turned back to look at the old man, "If you can’t prepare what you need, come find me, I might be able to help you."

With that, Yin Tian turned to Zhao Wanlin, "You should have a business card, right? Give one to this gentleman."

Zhao Wanlin nodded, immediately went back to the bar, and left his business card there.

"Let’s go, back to the hospital."

Yin Tian spoke and left the place along with Chen Yu and Zhao Wanlin.

Wang Shengshuang wanted to tag along, but was stopped by Yin Tian, "Mr. Wang, we’ve finished our browsing and are about to head back. It wouldn’t be proper for you to continue following us."

Wang Shengshuang was taken aback, his expression turning somewhat awkward.

This time, he had intended to make Yin Tian look foolish, yet in the end, he was the only one who ended up embarrassed!

"Huh..."

Yin Tian let out an ambiguous chuckle toward Wang Shengshuang, then promptly left the place with Chen Yu and Zhao Wanlin.
