Chapter 214 - 171: Black Python Dominates the Mountains and Rivers, Double Stones Gearing Up for Great Battle (Part 2) _2
“Jadeite? I don’t have jadeite, can I get a loan first to take a look!” The naught kid scratched his head, searched all over his body, but couldn’t find a single jadeite.
“No jadeite, and you’re wasting my time? Go away, go play in the mud!”
Boss Jing Bi’s expression dropped instantly, and he dismissed the naughty kid in a few swift words.
His time was precious, and he couldn’t afford to waste it playing with this kid.
Upon the reluctant departure of the naughty kid, Boss Jing Bi couldn’t help but wear a gloomy expression.
Since the last craze about Liu Village, he had not opened for business for a long time, and now his money bag was pretty deflated, leaving him heartbroken and speechless.
“Excuse me, could anyone have heard of Liu Village?”
Just then, another deep voice sounded.
Following that, a man with an extraordinarily majestic stature appeared before Bird Grandpa and Boss Jing Bi.
It was Lin Chen.
He took the initiative to meet these two elderly men.
He stepped ahead with disregard for all, directly approached Bird Grandpa and Boss Jing Bi’s booth.
“Oh, you’ve asked the right person, besides me, absolutely no one else knows about it!”
Boss Jing Bi instantly perked up, realizing that a real business opportunity had come knocking, and hurriedly spoke with a smile.
“For 100 jadeite, I’ll tell you where Liu Village is, that’s a fair price, isn’t it!”
“Old man, what about you?” Lin Chen looked towards Bird Grandpa.
“I need 200 jadeite, his information is fake. Mine is more expensive, but it’s guaranteed to be accurate!”
Bird Grandpa spoke with a serious promise.
“Alright, you can tell me, let’s see if it is the same place?!” Lin Chen raised his eyebrow.
“Payment in one hand, delivery in the other, that’s the rule in our business!”
“Rest assured, I won’t shortchange you. It’s just a few hundred jadeite, right? I can afford it, just talk first. What if you give me fake news? I have to check it, don’t I?” Lin Chen said, completely unruffled.
Seeing his calm demeanor, Bird Grandpa and Boss Jing Bi felt more assured. It was a rare occasion that they didn’t charge upfront.
Then, Bird Grandpa and Boss Jing Bi began to speak, pointing out two different locations.
Lin Chen found it amusing. The two directions they had mentioned did not resemble Liu Village’s location in the least, simply ludicrous.
No wonder the public harbored deep resentment.
“Alright, I’ve asked, now it’s time for you to pay up!”
Lin Chen withdrew his gaze and launched an offensive.
“What the hell? We have to pay? Kid, you’re here to ruin our business, aren’t you?”
Boss Jing Bi began to doubt if he’d heard correctly.
It was unprecedented for someone to demand money for giving information.
Bird Grandpa also stood up, the peculiar bird on his shoulder flapping its wings and cooing.
However, the bird was not preparing to attack. On the contrary, it seemed somewhat frightened because it had suddenly spotted two figures in the crowd that it had feared all its life.
It was the naughty kids!
If it hadn’t been for its owner’s timely intervention back then, it might have been grilled as meat by these two naughty kids.
“I have been investigating all the way and found out that you guys have been using Liu Village as an excuse to deceive and earn loads of jadeite. Our village deity, the Sacrificial Spirit, ordered you to pay back half of the profits!”
Lin Chen snorted and stated straightforwardly.
The moment his words fell, the faces of the surrounding crowd changed, and they all took in a gasp of cold air. They hadn’t expected that this majestic-looking man was from that mysterious village.
Regaining their senses, people began to look at Bird Grandpa and Boss Jing Bi with schadenfreude.
Karma, it’s karma!
Divine retribution is circular, and never disappointing!
To provoke such an entity, aren’t they afraid of retaliation?!
Many people were thrilled, and some even applauded to encourage Tu Wa Zi and others. They were excited that someone had finally stepped up to crack down on these two troublemakers and improve the atmosphere of this primitive land.
They had been waiting for this moment for too long.
They hadn’t expected these old men to stir up that existence too. By the sound of it, their actions had even incurred his dissatisfaction- akin to an old man craving death with arsenic!
“Why should we give you half? That was hard-earned money through our strength!”
Bird Grandpa and Boss Jing Bi defended almost simultaneously. They didn’t back down upon hearing about Liu Village, they thought it was good enough they were not robbing, asking them to pay was harder than ascending the heavens.
Jadeite is a type of gemstone, containing the essence of heaven and earth, useful for cultivating, and extremely valuable. Hence it is the hard cash among cultivators, widely circulated and can even be used to buy treasured bones and treasured techniques.
“If you don’t pay, we will fight!”
Lin Zhuang, Tu Wa Zi, and Gu Chen also stepped forward, causing the crowd to erupt in noise again.
“Kid, don’t hurt your back with your big talk. Even if the deity from your village descended, he would have to stand aside and wait for us to lecture!” said Bird Grandpa, trying to appear calm and composed.
But what greeted him was an Iron Fist whizzing towards him.
It was Tu Wa Zi.
New grudges and old grievances combined, he simply couldn’t hold back.
“Well, you actually did!”
The expressions on Bird Grandpa and Boss Jing Bi turned significantly solemn.
Although they were not aware of the power of Lin Zhuang and Lin Chen, they did know how formidable Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen were. They knew these two were young supremes, capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with Little
Dot..
