Chapter 303

Hu Rui couldn't see the expression on Wang Ping'an's face, but she heard the confidence in his mental transmission, saying: "Fellow Daoist Li, I believe you won't disappoint me!"

While speaking, Hu Rui turned around, saw Wang Ping'an off from the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan Chamber of Commerce, all the way to the entrance, ignoring the coming and going customers, and spoke again:

"Fellow Daoist Li, you need these things; give me a little time. When you come again to our Jiu tou shan ji shi, I will personally hand them to you!"

"Thank you, Third Miss!"

Wang Ping'an expressed his gratitude.

"You say, who is this person, how could the Third Miss personally see him off?"

A customer who had been listening to the attendant introduce the products, out of the corner of his eye saw Hu Rui personally seeing Wang Ping'an to the door, couldn't help but ask in a low voice:

The attendant laughed embarrassedly and said: "Actually, I don't really know either!"

The attendant is a fox demon from the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan; although it's the first time seeing Wang Ping'an, it still has some understanding of him, after all, their Third Miss is a prominent figure in the Jiu tou shan ji shi.

Its every move attracts attention.

Not to mention it, in the entire Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan Chamber of Commerce, there isn't a single fox demon who doesn't know that recently, their Third Miss has taken a liking to a cultivator.

It is said.

Those elementary talismans that can rival intermediate talismans are made by the cultivator favored by their Third Miss; upon hearing this news, they can roughly understand why their Third Miss favors him.

Not to mention their Third Miss, even any manager of the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan Chamber of Commerce, upon encountering such a customer, would treat him with exceptional importance.

Besides that, rumors also circulate in the Jiu tou shan ji shi about the cultivator favored by their Third Miss.

Let them clearly know: don't think that this cultivator favored by their Third Miss has only recently come to the Jiu tou shan ji shi to do business; in a short time, the number of evil cultivators or monsters killed by him is already not small.

During this period.

Furthermore, rumors abound among the cultivators of the Jiu tou shan ji shi that when this cultivator favored by their Third Miss first arrived at the Jiu tou shan ji shi, he was like a novice and accidentally revealed a large amount of wealth.

This was deliberate on his part, intended to lure evil cultivators or monsters with ill intentions into committing murder and robbery.

As for why he would do this, the many cultivators of the Jiu tou shan ji shi don't know, and they couldn't be bothered to care; they only need to know that Wang Ping'an is not to be provoked.

Even though rumors have spread widely during this time about Wang Ping'an being foolish but rich, not a single cultivator or monster has any designs on him.

Wealth is important, but one's life is more important, and no one can guarantee whether this suddenly spreading rumor was deliberately let out by Wang Ping'an.

It is the attendant of the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan Chamber of Commerce, having come into contact with all kinds of customers; its sources of information exceed those of most cultivators and monsters, and it even knows some news that ordinary cultivators and monsters are unaware of.

This is why, although it's the first time meeting Wang Ping'an, it can clearly know that Wang Ping'an is the talisman master favored by their Third Miss.

However.

This matter is not convenient to discuss with outsiders!

"You don't know?"

The customer snorted in dissatisfaction, and before he could finish speaking, he saw the fox demon's expression change, realizing it wasn't that it didn't know, but that it was inconvenient to say.

He said, they have been close friends for years, even having fought together in bed; whatever benefits he has, he would think of this attendant; if the attendant knew, how could she possibly keep it from him?

Seeing the attendant's expression, the customer gave a hehe laugh, didn't say anything more, and curiously glanced at Wang Ping'an; regarding Wang Ping'an's affairs, not only the attendant, but even he knows a thing or two.

However.

Perhaps his understanding isn't as detailed as the attendant's; it seems that later, when they reach a secluded spot, he will have to interrogate her thoroughly; if she refuses, he might have to resort to torture—beatings and blows!

He doesn't believe the attendant would dare to tell the truth.

Hu Rui watched Wang Ping'an's departing back, her eyes full of anticipation.

She hopes that the next time she encounters Wang Ping'an, he will produce a large number of intermediate talismans to offset his debt.

Of course.

The next time they meet, Wang Ping'an will still come to her on credit to buy Tiger Demon Skin for early Foundation Establishment; she actually wouldn't mind.

At least.

At least it could bring them closer!

Hu Rui turned around, returned to her office, and saw two figures in the spot that originally belonged to her: her father Hu Jianbo and her aunt Hu Meiniang, and she exclaimed:

"Father, Aunt Meiniang, how did you come here?"

She remembered that a few days ago, her father almost came into conflict with Aunt Meiniang; this time Aunt Meiniang returned, she didn't even see the ancestors.

She turned around and left the Jiu tou shan ji shi!

This novel you have arrived at

Never would have imagined...

She never expected Aunt Meiniang to appear so quickly in her office, let alone together with her father.

Hu Jianbo didn't answer his daughter's question, but instead asked: "Xiao Rui, Fellow Daoist Li, what brings you to see me this time?"

"Father, is it because of Fellow Daoist Li that you and Aunt Meiniang have appeared in my office?"

Hu Rui frowned slightly upon hearing her father's words, immediately guessing his purpose for coming here; without waiting for his reply, she continued:

"Father, you don't know, this time when I met Fellow Daoist Li, I discovered a flaw: he is very particular about noodles."

"This time he came to me to buy on credit two more pieces of Tiger Demon Skin to craft the diagram for the Small Five Elements Sword Formation, claiming he has already successfully crafted a set of Small Five Elements Sword Formation—how could that be?"

"Although I am neither an artifact refiner nor a formation master, I know that crafting the Small Five Elements Sword Formation, whether the foundation or the diagram, is no ordinary difficulty."

"He must have failed in crafting the diagram for the Small Five Elements Sword Formation, ruining the materials needed for it; that's why he's come to me on credit to buy two pieces of tiger hide."

"And he even said he plans to craft two sets of the Small Five Elements Sword Formation!"

Hu Jianbo, hearing his daughter's nonstop chatter, glanced at her in astonishment; it was rare for his daughter to speak so much.

It seems...

His daughter's regard for Fellow Daoist Li is not ordinary.

However.

Hu Jianbo thought, thinking of Fellow Daoist Li's abilities, not to mention his daughter, even he himself would have to take Fellow Daoist Li seriously.

Hu Rui concluded: "Dad, I think that in the future, continuing to interact with Fellow Daoist Li, we should flatter him more; who knows, we might gain unexpected benefits!"

"No, Xiao Rui, you guessed wrong this time; that Daoist Friend Li is not someone who loves face and likes to brag. He, he truly has ability."

"Hu Jianbo sighed, seeing his daughter's face full of astonishment and bewilderment, he explained: 'He didn't deceive you; he really succeeded in refining a complete set of Small Five Elements Sword Formation.'"
