"Why do I see you? It's so unlucky."
Cheng Taoyue turned her head away and muttered something, but her voice was just loud enough for Ning Zhishui to hear.
In her previous life, Ning Zhishui didn't like Cheng Taoyue's personality. Among the three of them, Ning Zhishui never paid much attention to her. Maybe because of this, she also targeted Ning Zhishui in particular.
This time, Cheng Taoyue became even more unrestrained and spoke even more harshly.
"If you think it's unlucky, get out."
Ning Zhishui was not spoiled at all.
Cheng Taoyue was stunned. "What did you say? You want us to get out?"
After she finished speaking, she tugged at Meng Dong's sleeve and said, "Adong, look at how Ning Zhishui talks to us!"
Just as Meng Dong was about to speak, Ning Zhishui laughed out loud, "I'm talking about you, why are you bringing up Meng Dong?"
"you!"
Meng Dong couldn't stand it any longer, "Okay, what are you guys arguing about?"
"Ignore her, A-Dong. Don't you want to get the crystal? Come on." Cheng Taoyue took Meng Dong's hand, snorted at Ning Zhishui, and walked past her to find the clerk, "We need to withdraw money!"
"Okay." The waiter recognized Meng Dong and knew she was the daughter of the Meng family. He smiled and walked forward. "Miss Meng, this way, please. How much would you like?"
Ning Zhishui looked at the waiter, "Excuse me, where is the shopkeeper?"
She was clearly the one who arrived first, but no one paid any attention to her while she was standing there. Instead, they were so attentive to Meng Dong who had just arrived.
"Why are you in such a hurry? You just came to withdraw some money. You'd better line up behind Adong!" Cheng Taoyue smiled proudly.
Ning Zhishui raised his eyes. "If someone didn't know, they would think you were the rich one. May I ask how many crystal stones do you have? If you're so boastful, you must have at least two hundred thousand!"
Cheng Taoyue looked down on Ning Zhishui, but in fact her own family's conditions were not much better.
Cheng Taoyue's father has good cultivation and works in Meng Dong's mansion. It is because of this that she got close to Meng Dong.
Ning Zhishui feels that some people love to show off more the less they have.
For example, Cheng Taoyue is more flamboyant than Meng Dong herself. In fact, this is a manifestation of her inferiority complex and fear of being looked down upon.
"Two hundred thousand or so?" Cheng Taoyue's voice rose exaggeratedly, and then he sneered, "Who has that much money? Dong'er doesn't have it, so naturally I don't have it either."
"Ah, but I do."
Ning Zhishui smiled, revealing his white teeth.
Cheng Taoyue, Meng Dong:?
The two were stunned at first, and then their eyes were filled with contempt.
"It's been a few days since we last met, Zhishui. Why are you bragging so much?" Meng Dong smoothed her hair and adjusted the lavender gem hairpin she had bought two days ago. She felt that it matched her purple dress perfectly.
The people who were talking did not notice that two people were coming down from the second floor.
Shopkeeper Liu was short and fat, with a blessed look on his face, and he was very flattering when he spoke to this person.
The man in azure clothes was holding a box of crystal cards. After counting the required number, he put them into the Qiankun Ring.
"Sir, are there any mistakes?" asked Manager Liu.
"No." The man said, "How is the matter I asked you to inquire about?"
"That girl hasn't been to my Taixianjing Bank yet, but she's already been asking around in the city about families with the surname Ning. I'll definitely have results within three days... unless she's not from Huying City."
The man in blue had some worry in his eyes when he heard this, but he still said, "Let's find it first."
Shopkeeper Liu agreed, but he was curious.
I don't know why this noble man came to their small Huying City and looked for a woman.
Who is that person and what is his relationship with this noble man?
Shopkeeper Liu was extremely curious, but facing the man's evil face, he didn't dare to ask even a single question no matter how curious he was.
The two of them went downstairs, and just at that moment the blue-clothed man's voice transmission note made some movement, so he listened as he walked.
Two tall and strong men came to the store to exchange crystal tickets. They stood next to Ning Zhishui and blocked her completely.
The man in blue walked to the door, and the shopkeeper bowed and said, "Take care, sir. If you need anything, you can let me know at any time."
"Okay, stay."
The man agreed and was about to leave.
"...Ning Zhishui, stop being ridiculous. You said you wanted to exchange ink cards?"
The man paused, then suddenly turned around.
Cheng Taoyue almost couldn't stand up straight because of laughing.
Ning Zhishui looked at her speechlessly.
Laugh, laugh, laugh, all you do is laugh, how come I didn’t make you die of laughter!
The shop assistant was unwilling to call the shopkeeper over for her and asked her how many crystals she wanted to exchange. Ning Zhishui said she wanted to exchange them for ink cards.
Unexpectedly, the guy was stunned, and Cheng Taoyue laughed at him mercilessly, as if he was bragging.
How could there be such a fool? Why would I tell such a lie?
If you tell a lie and can't produce the ink card, how will it end?
He looked so stupid that Ning Zhishui even developed an aversion to stupidity.
"...The shopkeeper is right there. If you really have ink cards, that would be perfect."
The guy came to his senses and pointed to the door.
Ning Zhishui turned around, walked around the two strong men and looked towards the door.
When I saw this, I was stunned.
She didn't see the shopkeeper, but she saw a man with outstanding appearance and temperament.
His long hair was tied up high and fixed with a jade crown. He had narrow eyes and upturned eyebrows, giving him a somewhat seductive look.
He was holding a sound transmission talisman in his hand, but his eyes were looking towards him. He seemed a little absent-minded, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Shopkeeper?"
Ning Zhishui asked in a low voice.
How could the owner of a crystal shop have such appearance and temperament?
This shouldn't be the case. If there were such an outstanding person in the city, the news would have spread long ago, and there would definitely be many female cultivators running here every day to exchange for crystals.
It’s like my aunt opened a shop. Every time she went to the shop, countless male cultivators would rush over, just to get a second look from the beautiful woman.
"I am the shopkeeper of Taixian."
A voice suddenly came from some corner beside the man. Only after the person spoke did Ning Zhishui notice that there was another person there.
Shopkeeper Liu took two steps forward and asked in disbelief, "Young lady... your name is Ning Zhishui?"
"That's right." Ning Zhishui nodded. For some reason, she felt that his expression was a little strange.
Does he know himself?
The shopkeeper turned around and looked at the noble man, asking with his eyes -
What a coincidence! This is the person you are looking for!
"She wants to take the crystal, why don't you entertain her quickly?
The man in blue withdrew his gaze, and there was still a lingering trace of strong emotions in his eyes, but he suppressed them.
He spoke to the shopkeeper, his voice trembling slightly.
"Oh, yes!"
Shopkeeper Liu came to his senses, but didn't dare to ask what he wanted to ask directly. Then he smiled and walked forward very attentively, asking Ning Zhishui, "Miss Ning, how many crystals do you want to exchange? I will come to entertain you personally."
Meng Dong, Cheng Taoyue:?
The two looked at each other, both with shock and confusion in their eyes.
