Chapter 32: The Second Grandpa setting up a stall!

~8 min read 1,565 words

Hearing this familiar voice, Zhou Qing's body shivered involuntarily.

To be honest, after yesterday's events, he was truly a bit afraid of Lu Yaoyao.

Afterwards, pretending not to hear, he turned around and was about to leave.

Lu Yaoyao, however, suddenly jumped in front of him, stretched out her arms to block him, and said earnestly, "She's gone."

Zhou Qing looked at He Han, who was following beside her, and said with displeasure, "Can't you manage her? Can you stop playing matchmaker randomly? It might actually get someone killed."

He Han also knew he was in the wrong and was momentarily unsure what to say.

But in his heart, he was a little happy. The Lu Shimei intended to set up Senior Brother Zhou with Xianyou Xianyou Xianzi Immortal Xuanyou; although it didn't look like a match at all, it also showed from the side that the Lu Shimei didn't like this guy who peeked at others bathing.

Wasn't this the best news?

At this moment, looking at Zhou Qing's displeased appearance, Lu Yaoyao's eyes suddenly turned red.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Qing was completely speechless.

I haven't even said anything yet, and you're the one acting aggrieved.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Yan Xiaohu hurriedly laughed it off and pulled Zhou Qing away quickly.

"Are you okay, Lu Shimei?" He Han asked, somewhat at a loss.

Lu Yaoyao wiped her eyes, her mouth mumbling indistinctly: "I was too impatient, I shouldn't have interfered randomly. I don't know what's wrong with me lately, I just... just felt too curious, too nostalgic."

He Han didn't hear clearly what the Lu Shimei was whispering, but whether it was an illusion or not, at this moment she looked so fragile, so lonely.

But soon, Lu Yaoyao's eyes bloomed with light again, constantly cheering herself on.

"Perhaps it's not her, I just thought too much, or perhaps the timing just isn't right. Let nature take its course."

Afterwards, she looked at He Han and smiled slightly: "I'm fine, Second Senior Brother, let's go over there and look around."

Watching the Lu Shimei who cried one moment and laughed the next, He Han was a bit confused. Seeing her leave, he also hurriedly followed...

Not far away, after confirming that Lu Yaoyao and the other hadn't followed, Yan Xiaohu looked at the Junior Brother walking the chicken and couldn't help but ask: "Are you really not interested in that Xianyou Xianyou Xianzi Immortal Xuanyou?"

Zhou Qing sighed, looked at Yan Xiaohu, and said: "Third Shixiong, even you don't believe me anymore? I've only met her twice; what kind of feelings could there be?"

Yan Xiaohu nodded: "That's for the best. Not to mention how thirsty such an old woman is—your body isn't enough to be squeezed dry—just say that Sikong Yan of the Azure Flame Dao Palace is not someone you can contend with."

Zhou Qing nodded in agreement; everything was just Lu Yaoyao having a mental breakdown.

Let's just keep shopping. If there's another fight in the square later, he still had to go over to farm ignore points.

Not long after, Zhou Qing suddenly stopped at a stall, a flash of astonishment in his eyes, which quickly turned into a look of indifference.

"Two young brothers, look around as you please, they are definitely good things!"

The stall owner was an old man with a full head of white hair, his figure slightly plump, wearing a set of coarse cloth clothes that were washed until they were somewhat white but clean and tidy. At this moment, he was inviting the two with a face full of smiles.

Unlike others, the items on his stall were all wrapped in white cloth, looking mysterious.

"Pick whatever you want, choose whatever you want!" The old man was full of enthusiasm.

Zhou Qing, however, looked at the note above his head—【Small-minded】.

This was the note from the last time the other party transformed into the Third Shixiong and he pulled him to force him to scold himself.

Second Grandpa!

He was actually still here and hadn't left.

Was this his real appearance or a transformation?

At this moment, Yan Xiaohu glanced at it and was about to leave; he hated these pretentious things the most.

Didn't you see that this area was for the proud figures of each sect to set up stalls? How did you mix in, and still pull this stunt?

Zhou Qing, however, didn't leave, but looked at these wrapped items.

The good things on Second Grandpa must be countless. Not to mention anything else, just staying in the Taiqingmen cave heaven for so long, didn't he fish out some good things?

The rewards he gave him casually were supreme-grade spirit stones.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be short of these small change. The reason he was setting up a stall here might just be to pass the time.

"Senior, I only have three hundred and fifty inferior-grade spirit stones on me. I don't know which ones I can buy?" Zhou Qing said respectfully.

Yan Xiaohu on the side immediately pulled him to the side: "Are you crazy? Spending hundreds of spirit stones to buy this stuff? Maybe it's just an ordinary rock inside. The rules of the Treasure Exchange are: once bought, it's gone. Even if you buy a pile of shit, there are no returns."

Zhou Qing said: "I know, but I want to gamble, and I like the feeling of opening a blind box."

"You were definitely angered into confusion by Lu Shimei Lu. Didn't you see that no one is buying here at all? This is an old swindler. Even if you want to hear a sound, you don't have to throw so much money here." Yan Xiaohu advised.

At this moment, Second Grandpa stroked his beard and stood up: "What do you mean by old swindler? I am fair and honest, okay? And your whispering is too loud; this old man finds it very uncomfortable."

"It was meant for you to hear. I've never seen anyone sell things like this. Fourth, let's go!"

Yan Xiaohu retorted to Second Grandpa again and pulled Zhou Qing to leave, but Zhou Qing stopped in his tracks, looking curious.

Seeing this, Second Grandpa hurriedly took out three wrapped items: "With your three hundred and fifty inferior-grade spirit stones, you can only buy one of these three. One of them is worth at least one thousand spirit stones, enough to triple your money."

"What about the other two?" Zhou Qing said.

Second Grandpa immediately chuckled: "Just like your Senior Brother said, throw them in the water and there won't even be a sound; you'll lose everything."

Yan Xiaohu immediately put his hands on his hips and stepped forward to argue: "You just said it was worth more than the price, how come in the blink of an eye it's going to be a total loss?"

"Cough, you guy is thick-headed, why do you like to be so serious? If you buy the right one, it's worth more than the price." Second Grandpa said.

"You..." Yan Xiaohu was momentarily unsure how to argue.

Instead, Zhou Qing led the old hen and squatted down to look carefully.

These three items were all fist-sized. Just as Zhou Qing wanted to reach out and weigh them, he was stopped by Second Grandpa.

He smiled and said: "Can't touch them, it's all based on feeling; the fun is in the excitement."

Looking at the flash of excitement in Second Grandpa's eyes, Zhou Qing seemed to understand the reason why he was setting up a stall here.

He probably wanted to see the regretful look of him howling in pain after losing everything.

Having been imprisoned in the cave heaven for so long, his psychology must have become twisted!

Zhou Qing had no choice but to stand up and try to use his spiritual sense to probe, only to find that the white cloth was somewhat unusual, actually able to isolate spiritual sense.

Yan Xiaohu still wanted to say something, but Zhou Qing shook his head slightly; his mind was made up.

"Buy it then, I don't care anymore. A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit. You'll regret it!" Yan Xiaohu crossed his arms angrily.

Second Grandpa chuckled: "Pick one!"

Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the one on the left, his mind moved, and he performed an appraisal directly.

Soon, a piece of information was fed back.

【Nether Black Spirit Wood: This is a rare piece of spirit wood, which still retains pure wood-attribute spiritual energy inside, which is of great benefit to those who practice wood-attribute techniques. The market price is at least one thousand inferior-grade spirit stones.】

Looking at the floating words, Zhou Qing quickly turned into ecstasy.

A hit on the first try!

He had thought about using this to rule one out, and even if he had to choose between the remaining two, there was a 50% probability.

Even if he chose wrong, he could borrow money from the Third Shixiong and immediately buy another at the same price. If Second Grandpa was telling the truth, he could still earn three hundred spirit stones in the end.

No matter how he calculated, he wouldn't lose. Now it seemed he had saved himself the trouble directly.
