Chapter 431: The Beasts’ Soft and Hard Coercion (2)
The little old man squatted down and asked lightly, “How can I exchange for this silverleaf grass?”
“I want to exchange for a silver bell flower,” the young man setting up the stall said softly as he glanced at the little old man.
“Silver bell flower? Is this it?” The little old man took out a small silver bell-shaped flower from his ring.
“Yes, that’s right. Elder, are you willing to exchange it with me?” the young man said excitedly. He had been looking for a silver bell flower for a long time and didn’t expect to finally see it today. Moreover, the silver bell flower in the little old man’s hand was actually still fresh and of superior quality. He was really satisfied.
“No,” the little old man said softly as he put away the silver bell flower.
“Elder, are you playing with me?” the young man said with some displeasure. If he was unwilling to exchange it with him, why did he take it out to bait him!?Boohoo…
“Young man, don’t be anxious! Listen to me,” the little old man said calmly.
“Then tell me!” The young man didn’t know what the little old man wanted to say to him, but he still politely listened to him.
“Young man, to be honest, I also exchanged for this silver bell flower with someone else. I’m not sure if she still has any, but I think you can try,” the little old man suggested.
“Really? Who did you exchange with?” The young man looked around the venue, looking for suspicious people. But there were not many people in the venue now, and he had basically asked everyone. Could he have missed someone?
“Young man, stop looking. That person isn’t here.”
“Where can I find that person?” the young man said anxiously. The silver bell flower was really too important to him, so he definitely couldn’t let go of this opportunity.
“Young man, I’m telling you the truth! This person offended the Lan family’s fifth young lady, so she was forbidden from entering Blue Cloud City by Lan Ning’er. If you want to exchange with her, you can only go out of the city to exchange. Moreover, she has a lot of good things in her hands!” The little old man lowered his voice as if he was deceiving a white bunny.
“Okay, I’ll go out of the city to find her. Uh! Elder, where is she outside the city?” the young man said impatiently.
“Thirty meters to the right of the city,” the little old man whispered.
“Thank you, elder.” The young man quickly packed up and prepared to leave.
The alchemists in the venue familiar with him couldn’t help being a little curious after seeing him planning to leave, so they asked him the full story. Then they also packed up and left. Just like that, they spread the news one by one. In less than half an hour, the entire venue was empty…
“Uh, why did everyone leave?” Lan Lie asked with a suppressed smile after seeing the alchemists pack up and leave impatiently.?Hehe, good job. Let’s go!
“Uh! Erm… I guess they suddenly have an urgent matter!” Steward Wu guessed. After all, the exchange had not officially begun, so he never thought that anyone would dare to dig the Lan family’s corner.
After seeing everyone leave, Charm and the little old man looked at each other in tacit understanding, smiled evilly, and clapped their hands to celebrate!
“Steward Wu, go about your business. There’s no need to wait on me. I’m just here to take a look,” Lan Lie said.
“Yes, Young Master. I’ll take my leave then.” Steward Wu bowed and left.
“Don’t you find that little fox a little familiar?” Lan Lie asked doubtfully after Steward Wu left.
“What’s wrong with your eyes? Isn’t that Leng Ruoxue’s fox!” Sun Teng rolled his eyes at Lan Lie.
“It’s really that one? But that old man said the fox is his!” Lan Lie was depressed.?Boohoo…?He had been fooled!
“Of course, he would say the fox is his if it follows him,” Leng Wudi said helplessly. Alas! His good friend was too naive sometimes!
“Could he have snatched it from Leng Ruoxue?” Lan Lie guessed after hearing Leng Wudi’s words.
“Are pet beasts that have recognized their masters so easy to snatch?” Leng Wudi looked at Lan Lie as if he was looking at an idiot.
“Then what happened? I have to ask clearly!” With that, Lan Lie walked directly to the man and beast.
“You are Leng Ruoxue’s fox, right?” Lan Lie asked directly.
Charm rolled his eyes at Lan Lie and asked in return, “Is there a problem?”
“Then why didn’t you say anything when I asked you just now?” Lan Lie said through gritted teeth.
“Tch, you didn’t ask me!” Charm covered his mouth and giggled.
Upon hearing what Charm said, Lan Lie felt extraordinarily depressed. He turned his gaze to the little old man and looked at him resentfully.
“Uh! Lan family brat, don’t look at me like that. I’m Charm’s guardian now, so of course he’s mine now,” the little old man said matter-of-factly without blushing or panting.
“Alright! I’m not angry that you lied to me. Then can you tell me what your relationship with Leng Ruoxue is?” Lan Lie asked very curiously. When did such an old man appear beside Leng Ruoxue?
“Lan family brat, I have nothing to do with the Leng Ruoxue you mentioned. But if the Leng Ruoxue you’re talking about is the master of this little fox, then I’m just making a bet with her,” the little old man explained.
“What bet?” Lan Lie’s curiosity was piqued.
The little old man was helpless and could only tell him about his bet with Leng Ruoxue. But who expected that Lan Lie actually laughed hysterically after hearing it!
“Lan family brat, is this very funny?” the little old man asked gloomily. He knew that he had lost, but this kid didn’t have to laugh so exaggeratedly!?It’s too much! Boohoo…
“Of course it’s funny. Elder, you actually made a bet with a little fox. You’re definitely going to lose!” Lan Lie said with a smile until his tears were about to fall.
