“They won't be back for a while. Let's take a walk around town.”
Zhuo Fan turned around and walked away. Captain Pang knew he did not take his word and sighed as he followed.
They were immediately in the market area. This was where the rogue cultivators sold their wares, to exchange goods or other cultivation materials.
With Zhuo Fan's experience, he should be able to find items that others had overlooked.
The two visited many stalls, and many times, Captain Pang wanted to put his hand into his pocket, but when he saw Zhuo Fan walking away with a dull look, he followed him.
Perhaps he did not realize it, but the great captain of the guard was reduced to following Zhuo Fan at every step.
“Ai, since when is the world filled with neglected treasures? Let's just go." Zhuo Fan roamed the market but nothing caught his eye.
That's when he heard the commotion.
He goes to meet the stall owner and a red-faced girl in a heated dispute.
He led Captain Pang through the center of the crowd and saw the appearance of the girl. He was wearing white clothes, with fine brows like a crescent moon and looked calm and gentle. Even when scolded, he never lost his smile as if he had never been angry. He survived despite opposition.
“This black guy is fake.”
“How is it fake? This was the purest black jade, which if left in the sun for a day, would still feel cool to the touch. If used as a pendant, cultivation will be much easier.”.
The man spits endlessly about how pure it is, “Young Miss, do you understand what I'm saying?”
He shook his head, but his smile never wavered, “I don't know much about black jade, but I've seen it so I can say this one is fake.”
“Hahaha, you saw it once and dared to say you found this one fake? Did you hear, everyone? Has there ever been an unreasonable situation in this world?”
“For ever, and I know I'm right. If we talk about price, the worst black jade is worth 10 spirit stones while the best one hundred. But yours is only 3 spirit stones.”
“Come out of here! Enough with your trash, little girl. Don't ruin my business. How can you know its value?”
The girl smiled as she looked at the man. He felt a burning rage inside, but had nowhere to vent.
As the saying goes, you can't attack a person who just smiles.
The girl continued to deny the price of the black jade without a compelling reason. If it was anyone else, he would slap them silly. But his smile made him helpless even to raise his hand.
“That black cigar is indeed a fake.”
The girl was surprised but nodded while observing him.
Zhuo Fan turned to the crowd,“ Everything, is it possible to prepare some things? Sulfur, clover..”.
He mentioned some of the most common things, and some people already bought them.
Under everyone's eyes, Zhuo Fan threw it into the water, stirred it up, and said to the owner of the stall, “Please put the black jade in it.”
“Huh, you just washed it!” He was also confident, even as he put it inside.
But once inside, the water begins to bubble and turn red. It even released a bit of blood energy.
“How can it?” The shop owner was shocked.
The girl also looked with wide eyes, astonished.
“Hahaha, no need to be surprised so. This black jade is just a clone that will show its original color once introduced to the water. ” Zhuo Fan took the black jade and gave it to its owner, “Now you should know that this woman is right.”
“The bastard lied to me! He sold it to me for 20 spirit stones.” The owner of the stall gritted his teeth.
“This black jade is only worth 3 spirit stones.”
The girl expressed her judgment then smiled to Zhuo Fan, “Master has good eyes. I know it's fake, but I can't tell the difference. I thank the master for his intervention.”
“Nothing. I've also seen this once, ”Zhuo Fan smiled. “Young lady, won't you buy it? Now only 3 miles.”
“No need. I just wanted to tell others about the true price of the stone. ” He chuckles and goes.
Seeing his figure fade into the crowd, Captain Pang sighed beside Zhuo Fan, "The strange girl."
Zhuo Fan, on the other hand, heaved a sigh of relief as he muttered, “The girl's eyes are sharp and evil. Good thing he is still inexperienced, or he will take the treasure without hesitation.”
He then turned to the black jade, his eyes shining with excitement.
But the stall owner sighed while packing his things, preparing to go home…
So thank anjil🙀
