"What isn't the best in our Jiufang Prefecture? Why would we need you to deliver it?"
Qin Luo wanted to argue with the guard, but then she saw Wu Hua had already lifted the cloth off the basket.
The guard looked at the lush green fruits and vegetables inside, a fleeting look of surprise crossing his eyes.
"You grew all of these?"
Qin Luo quickly covered it up again, making it a show-only event where no one would actually eat it.
"Of course, we just successfully cultivated it, and that's why we're thinking of selling it now."
The land of Wumang City is infertile; no plant can grow there.
Therefore, tea leaves must be planted on people; beneath the towering trees along the roadside lie countless bloodied lives.
The guard looked at her with disdain as she covered the item again.
"If you want to sell door-to-door, but you're unwilling to let anyone see it, how can you possibly sell anything?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo not only didn't take out the item, but instead hid it behind his back.
“It’s not easy for us to grow anything. It’s not that we don’t want you to see it, but you can’t make the decisions. It would be pointless for you to see it anyway. I’d rather try my luck at Duanyang Prefecture. Their steward is much easier to talk to than you are.”
As she spoke, she gestured for Wu Hua to help her leave.
Before he could even take a step, he was surrounded by guards.
"Do you know what kind of place this is? How dare you come here and act so presumptuously?"
Then, he looked them up and down.
"I see that your cultivation level is not even as high as mine, how dare you be so arrogant?"
Having said that, he tried to snatch the basket from Qin Luo's hand, but Wu Hua pushed him far away with a palm strike.
Seeing this, the other guards were not afraid at all; instead, their laughter grew even louder.
"I didn't expect someone who looks like a sickly person to actually have some skills. Let me see just how strong you really are."
With that, they drew their weapons and attacked the two men.
Just as Wu Hua was about to fight, Qin Luo held her down.
Then, she sat down on the ground and began to throw a tantrum.
"Everyone, come quick! The Nine Directions Manor is bullying us! We just wanted to sell some things to exchange for some lacquer stones to make a living, and not only did they refuse to buy, they tried to rob us outright! They don't even consider us, with our low cultivation levels, as human beings..."
