Chapter 77 - Misty Illusory Manor, Trouble

At this moment, the hawkers outside Treasure Pavilion had already started to pack up. It was the first time he closed his stall this earlier.

Because Ye Xuan had bought all his things, including their accumulated stocks and other worthless things. He was so happy that he could not stop smiling

Just as the hawker e about to leave, two more people suddenly appeared at the stall.

“Everything has been sold out today. Come back tomorrow.” A hawker replied without even raising his head.

A cold light flashed in the air. Then, a cold sword landed on the hawker’s neck in the blink of an eye. He was so scared that he didn’t even dare to breathe.

“Spare me!”

The hawker trembled as he raised his head. Standing in front of him were a man and a woman. The man was handsome, and the woman was beautiful. They had an extraordinary aura.

“Two young heroes, let’s talk this out. I’m just doing a small business. I didn’t do anything outrageous.”

The two didn’t waste a word and went straight to the point. “Did you receive a stone a few days ago?”

The hawker was confused by the question and subconsciously answered, “Stone? What stone?”

The cold sword came a few inches closer, and the hawker could even clearly feel the sharpness of the sword tip. If the sword was a little closer, blood would have splattered from the hawker’s neck. He was so frightened that he begged for mercy.

“Two young heroes, I buy so many things every day. Please give me time to recall.”

“Don’t play any tricks with me! That stone is black.”

It turned out that these two were disciples of the Misty Illusory Manor. They accidentally lost their storage bag. It had important items that their sect needed. Other things aside, the most important thing was to find this stone, which was why they had come all the way here.

Who would have thought that the person who picked up the storage bag had broken the restriction and didn’t know what it was? The person thought the stone was worthless and sold it to a roadside stall.

The hawker was deep in his memories. He smacked his head and said, “I remember now. A few days ago, a middle-aged man bragged about it. I spent a hundred low-grade spirit stones…”

“Cut the crap. Where is it?”

The man interrupted the hawker’s jabbering.

The hawker remembered the sneaky look on the man’s face. The hawker did not know the stone’s origin, but he did not care. The hawkers didn’t buy things according to the rules like the shops. They didn’t care if the goods were stolen or robbed.

After they sold the goods, the goods had nothing to do with them anymore. However, the hawker never thought that would cause trouble for him. Seeing that these two people came to him with hostility, they would definitely not let it go if they did not find the stone.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The hawker buried his head in his search and revealed a smile uglier than crying. He carefully said, “It’s sold …”

“What? You actually sold it. Do you know how expensive it is?”

Lin Qingxue furrowed her brows, and Li Zhe’s expression wasn’t any better. “We’re done for. Eldest senior brother handed it to us. If he finds out that we lost it, how are we going to explain.”

“Who did you sell the stone to?” Li Zhe asked viciously.

“There are so many customers every day. How would I know? It’s so unremarkable. I didn’t even pay attention to it.” The hawker caught a glimpse of Li Zhe’s murderous gaze and seemed to have thought of something.

“But all the things in my stall have been bought by a generous customer. I think he bought the stone you mentioned.”

Li Zhe examined him. “Are you serious?”

“I’m not lying. That person just entered Treasure Pavilion. Manager Sun who personally led him in.”

The two of them checked the hawker and found nothing on him.

Lin Qingxue and Li Zhe looked at Treasure Pavilion. Most people entering the Treasure Pavilion were disciples of the seven major sects. Could it be that the person the hawker was talking about was also from the seven major sects?

Li Zhe was about to enter, but Lin Qingxue stopped him.

“There are too many people inside. If we ask the staff directly, I’m afraid the other sects will also know. It’s not good to have too many people know about this matter, so it’s better to wait for him to come out.”

…

Ye Xuan didn’t know that trouble was coming to him.

Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Manager Sun blurted out, “Your sect was established last month? You must be joking.”

For a moment, Manager Sun thought he was hallucinating, but Ye Xuan didn’t seem to be joking. “It’s true. My sect hasn’t even participated in the sect returning ceremony. So naturally, you have never heard of us.”

Ye Xuan didn’t know that one day, the Tai Qing Sect would be famous throughout the continent with his name. It would be known to the world, making countless people yearn to join it. However, this was all a story for the future.

The current Tai Qing Sect was just a nameless small sect.

Manager Sun didn’t deny it. He was sure that Ye Xuan was hiding something, so he didn’t ask further. Perhaps he was a prodigal son from some powerful family or sect who had gone out on a trip.

“What do you need? In the entire Jingdu, my Treasure Pavilion has some of the best things. I think we can satisfy your needs.”

Ye Xuan thought of the mission and suddenly showed an unfathomable expression. “Show me everything you have.”

Manager Sun clapped his hands, and people carried trays in one after another. The treasures faintly emitted their spiritual energy. They were all excellent items. They were not like the inferior goods on the street.

After all, Treasure Pavilion was a hundred-year-old shop. Other than the high price, there was nothing fraudulent with it. Otherwise, it would not attract the disciples of the big sects.

“This is…”

“Alright, I’ll take these,”

Manager Sun was about to introduce the item to Ye Xuan when he was interrupted by Ye Xuan. The rest of his words were stuck in his throat, and he blurted out in surprise, “What did you say?”

Even though Manager Sun had experienced many storms and waves, he had never seen anyone buy things like this in Treasure Pavilion for so long. Ye Xuan directly bought the goods without even looking at them.

Even if Ye Xuan had a gold mine at home, he shouldn’t be squandered his money like this.
