What is going on?
Why did Ning Zhishui let Manager Liu treat her like this? Does she have any other identity?
Meng Dong and Cheng Taoyue had obviously known Ning Zhishui for a long time, but now it was like they were meeting her for the first time and felt that she was extremely unfamiliar.
But what shocked the two was yet to come.
"I want to exchange ink cards, please."
Ning Zhishui took out the ink card and handed it to the shopkeeper. "It's really not easy to see the shopkeeper. I've asked him several times, but the shopkeepers don't seem willing to pass on the message for me."
After she finished speaking, the guys all panicked.
When they saw the ink cards, their faces turned pale, because in a small town like Huying City, you might not see two or three ink cards in a month. The people who held the ink cards were all old customers who were on good terms with the shopkeeper. They would make appointments directly with the shopkeeper and would not go through the waiters.
Ning Zhishui is of this age, a stranger, and not familiar with the shopkeeper. He doesn't look like he is rich at all.
But who knew she actually had ink cards?
And he complained to the shopkeeper right away!
Ning Zhishui saw their expressions, but he didn't feel soft-hearted at all.
Yes, she did complain!
It's just an exchange of crystals, but these people are used to serving different people differently. It's really disgusting.
"What's wrong with you? There's a customer coming to see me, and you dare to stop him?"
Shopkeeper Liu asked unhappily.
"We..." They stammered and couldn't answer.
"Miss Ning, I'm so sorry. Let me exchange the crystals for you first. I will teach these people a lesson when I'm done." Shopkeeper Liu said to Ning Zhishui with a smile.
"good."
"You should apologize to Miss Ning first." Manager Liu glared at them with a stern face.
"Yes, Miss Ning, I'm sorry."
Seeing this, Ning Zhishui hummed and nodded.
"Zhishui, this ink card... is it really yours?" Meng Dong said in a low voice.
As for Cheng Taoyue beside her, she didn't dare to say a word, but just looked at Ning Zhishui in surprise and suspicion.
"That's interesting. If it's not hers, then it's yours?" The man in blue said abruptly.
Not to mention Meng Dong, even Ning Zhishui was a little confused by his sudden action.
"Okay, aren't you here to withdraw money? Come upstairs quickly." The man in blue urged Manager Liu and pointed upstairs.
Shopkeeper Liu was completely stunned. Could it be that he meant...
"Sir, are you coming too?" he asked in a low voice.
"Of course. I just happened to have nothing to do, so I stopped by to take a look." The man in blue said with a smile.
Shopkeeper: ...
You were clearly in a hurry to leave just now, and you don't look like everything is fine.
Ning Zhishui didn't know the identity of the young man in blue, but he just wanted to withdraw the money, so it didn't matter who did it.
When he heard that they were going upstairs, he agreed and followed them to the private room upstairs.
On the road, Ning Zhishui could see the man in blue looking at him from time to time, but when he looked at him, he was back to normal.
Strange, what does this person mean?
Ning Zhishui doesn't think he is that charming. If it was someone as pretty as his aunt, it would be natural, but for himself... forget it.
Besides, what kind of beast would have fantasies about a girl who is obviously not fully grown?
Besides, in terms of appearance, this person is probably better than me, so this is definitely not the reason.
Is he curious about his own ink cards?
Ning Zhishui felt that this possibility was the greatest.
Where no one could see, the man in blue clenched his fists tightly. He used all his strength to prevent his eyes from being fixed on her.
"Do we have to take out all the crystals in the ink cards?" Shopkeeper Liu first checked their authenticity and then asked.
"That's right. Exchange 10,000 of them into crystals, and the rest into crystal tickets." Ning Zhishui said.
"Then is the denomination to be 10,000, or 1,000 or 2,000?"
"Six are ten thousand, and the others are a thousand."
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll get it."
After saying this, Shopkeeper Liu stood up, but before leaving, he looked at the man in blue.
"Will you come out with me?" he asked with his eyes.
As a result, the man in blue waved his sleeves seemingly unintentionally, then poured tea for Ning Zhishui with a smile.
Shopkeeper Liu twitched his lips, retreated tactfully, and said nothing.
Well, he thought he should wait a little longer before coming back.
To have come this far, he must have had some foresight.
After he left, he closed the door.
This behavior was not strange, but Ning Zhishui still felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
"Are you also from this Jinghang?" Ning Zhishui asked the man in blue, "What's your name?"
"Dongfang, my given name is Jing. Manager Liu and I... are friends. In a sense, I can be considered half a member of the Jinghang." Dongfang Jing said with a smile.
East?
Ning Zhishui's heart moved.
Is this East the same as that East?
There are five families, three clans, two tribes and one valley. Among these two tribes, one is the Eastern tribe. What is the relationship between this person and the Eastern tribe?
No, that's not right. The Dongfang tribe is not in Jiangbaizhou, and the Dongfang tribe is also the most low-key and mysterious tribe among all forces. They are even less mentioned than the Kamikaze Valley.
Not to mention that they would not easily appear in Jiangbaizhou, even if they really appeared, it would not be in a small town like Huying City.
Besides, if it was really them, they would only use a pseudonym and would not reveal their real name Dongfang.
This shows that this person is not from the Eastern ethnic group.
"I see." Ning Zhishui nodded.
Why is the shopkeeper so slow in getting a crystal ticket?
She was drinking tea, but she saw Dongfang Jing opposite her looking at her with extremely focused eyes, and some... nostalgia in them?
Thinking of how he looked when he first saw him, and his expression at this moment, Ning Zhishui couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist Dongfang, do I look similar to someone you once knew?"
Dongfang Jing was stunned. "Why do you ask?"
"I feel like your eyes seem to be telling me this. It's both familiar and unfamiliar to me." Ning Zhishui said.
Dongfang Jing tightened his grip on the cup. "No, you don't look like anyone. I just felt... that Miss Ning and I hit it off right away."
Ning Zhishui:?
She frowned, "Haha, really?"
"I don't mean to offend you, I just feel that Miss Ning's temperament is very comfortable. Seeing you reminds me of the sisters at home who are the same age as you." Dongfang Jing said apologetically.
Ning Zhishui was relieved, "I see. Coincidentally, I also have a brother at home who looks about your age."
"That's indeed a coincidence. It would be great if I could get to know them. Maybe we could become friends." Dongfang Jing said naturally.
It was so natural that Ning Zhishui began to doubt himself.
Is this person a little too familiar?
"Well, maybe there will be a chance in the future." She said, looking towards the door.
Is this shopkeeper lost?
