In contrast, Wu Hua appeared much calmer.
"Luo Luo, don't be afraid. Let's change our clothes first, then find someone to ask around, and then we'll make a decision."
"good."
Just as the two were looking for a secluded spot to enter the space, they were drawn by a commotion from nearby.
"I already said I only want the skin, not the live one. Bringing the whole thing here is just a waste of my time."
The speakers were a shopkeeper and a man whose attire clearly identified him as a hunter.
Despite the shopkeeper's obvious disdain, the hunter simply smiled and tried to please him.
"It was my ignorance that led me to bring it up carelessly. I certainly won't do it again next time. I hope you can be lenient this time."
Seeing his humble attitude, the shopkeeper softened his tone.
"Fine, this is the first time, but don't let it happen again!"
Upon hearing this, the hunter's worried expression immediately turned into joy.
"Okay, okay, thank you, shopkeeper. I'll definitely send you some good stuff next time I come across it."
The shopkeeper, who was already eyeing the contents of the sack, couldn't stop smiling.
Hearing this again made him even happier.
Without making any further trouble, he waved his hand and settled the payment for him.
The hunter, having taken the silver, rushed off towards the gambling den across the street as if his pants were on fire.
The shopkeeper then ordered his men to carry the sacks into the shop, muttering to himself as he did so.
"This is clearly a top-quality item. Once it's made into a terracotta figurine, it'll definitely fetch a good price."
The waiter who was carrying things nearby heard this and immediately chimed in.
"Not only that, the leftover scraps can be patched up and made into bags, and the bones can be used to make decorations. We might make a lot of money this time!"
The shopkeeper was pleased to hear this and immediately promised the waiter.
"If it really sells for a good price, you'll definitely get a red envelope."
Upon hearing this, the waiter worked even harder.
Qin Luo and Wu Hua listened for a long time, but still couldn't guess what was in the sack.
A passerby noticed that the two looked unfamiliar and came over to strike up a conversation.
"I've never seen you guys before. Are you new here? That shouldn't be the case!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo instantly became alert. After pressing Wu Hua's little head into his arms, he finally looked at the person who had come.
"We are originally from this city, but we rarely go out."
To everyone's surprise, the man gave a mocking laugh.
"People these days are becoming increasingly dishonest, spouting nonsense without a second thought."
In order to avoid being exposed, Qin Luo had to make things up.
"My younger sister and I have never left our home since birth, and we are only now seeing the world."
Upon hearing this, the man's earlier certainty diminished somewhat.
After all, there are all kinds of people in this city, and doing this for the child's safety is quite normal.
But when her gaze fell on the scar on Qin Luo's face and the two of them wearing clothes, she no longer believed it.
"You've never left home. Did you cut yourself on these scars? And your clothes are clearly not from this city."
Qin Luo felt a little flustered upon hearing this, but she still raised her hand to touch her face, feigning a sorrowful expression.
Unable to think of an excuse in time, I could only make up a vague one.
“This is my family matter, why should I explain it to an outsider like you? As for this clothing, the fact that you haven’t seen it before only shows that you are ignorant.”
It's true what they say, people are naturally suspicious. If Qin Luo offered a lengthy explanation, she wouldn't believe him.
This vague and ambiguous approach, which only served to cover up the truth, actually convinced her of most of it.
"My name is Wu Zhaoliang, and I own the gambling den across the street. Seeing that you two have nowhere to go, why don't you come work as a handyman in my shop? Meals will be provided, and wages will be paid separately. What do you say?"
If this happened outside, Qin Luo would definitely think he had met a good person.
But here, she felt a murderous intent towards the person before her.
"No need, we have our own place to go, so please don't worry about it."
After she finished speaking, she picked up Wu Hua and headed towards the inner city.
Wu Zhaoliang watched the two figures disappear into the distance, his eyes filled with a greedy smile.
"Let me see who's behind you first, then I'll decide whether or not to take your lives."
After saying this, he waved his hand behind him, and several people appeared, silently following behind the two.
Qin Luo and Wu Hua walked quite a distance before stopping to look back.
Not seeing Wu Zhaoliang, they stopped at a tea stall.
As soon as the waiter saw a customer arrive, he immediately greeted them.
"Please sit down and rest your feet, sir. We have a new tea called 'Beauty Tea' today. Would you like to try it?"
Qin Luo and Wu Hua were already looking for information, and this tea stall was undoubtedly a good choice.
She helped Wu Hua to a stool and sat her down before starting a conversation with the waiter.
"Then bring a pot of Beauty Tea and two servings of snacks."
"Alright, please wait a moment, sir."
After the waiter finished speaking, he turned around to fetch tea and pastries.
Qin Luo and Wu Hua, seemingly casually, started chatting about the shop they had just visited.
"Little sister, what was the name of that shop we just passed? I've already forgotten it."
"Is it the one across from the gambling den?"
"Yes, that's the one."
Wu Hua pretended to be troubled and scratched her head.
"I think it was called something like an equipment store, but I don't remember exactly. They sold a wide variety of items."
"That's right, they say their family is masters of pottery making..."
Hearing the two chatting so enthusiastically, the waiter who brought the food chimed in.
"You two are talking about the Wuxia Utensils Shop, right? Their items are indeed good, but they are not cheap."
"Oh, do you know this shop, brother? Why don't you tell us about it? We were just planning to buy some things there."
After Qin Luo finished speaking, he took out a high-grade spirit stone and handed it to him.
The waiter was incredibly lucky; he'd run into two suckers right after opening for business.
He held the spirit stone in his hand and touched it again and again.
