Chapter 22 Being Followed

While the boss was speaking, a few women in their thirties came over and moved closer with Shen Lubai to listen to what the boss was saying.

Shen Lubai was stunned when he heard this.

His eyes were wide open, as if he found it unbelievable, and he looked a little silly and cute.

"Boss, I want the remaining one." One of the women said immediately after hearing what the boss said, fearing that someone else would snatch it away.

As he spoke, he reached out to take the amulet from his boss's hand.

But it was snatched away by Shen Lubai.

"This is the one I saw first, I want it."

"Hey, what's wrong with you, young man? Why didn't you tell me what you wanted? I was the one who asked for it first."

Then he looked at the boss and said, "Boss, you heard me just now. I was the first one to ask for it. He has been here for a long time, but he doesn't seem to want to buy it."

The boss looked at the two of them and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

"This……"

"Forget it, young man. I think you and I are meant to be together, so I'll sell you this amulet. Sorry, big sister, why don't you take a look at the other things I have here."

As he spoke, the boss picked up a jade pendant on the ground, which was about the size of a pigeon egg.

"This piece of jade is called blood jade. It was nurtured by the abbot of Lingqing Temple with his own blood. Its effect is comparable to this amulet, or even better."

The jade in the boss's hands is very delicately carved. If you look closely, you can see that the emerald-colored jade actually has a blood-red hue.

Shen Lubai was holding the amulet in his hand, but he was also attracted by the blood jade in the boss's hand and wanted both.

One was given to Master Huo and the other to Huo Ting.

Unfortunately, the older sister next to me took it.

"Okay, I'll give the amulet to this young man. Please give me the jade. How much is it?"

"I will only sell this jade and amulet to the right person. The price is NT$6.6 million, which means good luck."

"Boss, but I didn't bring that much money today. Can you give me less?"

The older sister next to her wanted the jade very much, but she did not have that much money on her.

"Besides, I came from Lincheng very early in the morning. It would be too late to go back and forth now."

"Big sister, for the sake of our fate, I will tell you the truth. This jade is actually worth more than this. It is a treasure from thousands of years ago. This amount is already given because of our fate."

"And the amulet in that young man's hand. Otherwise, if someone else wanted to buy it, they would have to pay several times more."

The elder sister was in a dilemma. Finally, she seemed to have made a decision. Then, she said to the boss with a look of regret: "Boss, you should leave this jade to the next destined person. I really don't have that much money now."

After saying this, the older sister was afraid that she would not be able to bear it, so she stood up and left without looking back.

Shen Lubai was standing aside. Seeing that the older sister didn't want them anymore, he was delighted and said quickly, "Boss, I want them. I want both."

"Well, these two things are meant for you, young man. They belong to you in the end."

But Shen Lubai didn't have that much money in his phone, but he brought his card with him.

So he asked the boss if he could pay by credit card.

The boss immediately took out a POS machine from the torn canvas bag next to him.

Shen Lubai didn't hesitate for a second and the deal was done in less than a minute.

The boss thought that he and he had a special affinity, so when he left, he gave him a few small gifts to keep him safe.

After Shen Lubai accepted them one by one and thanked the boss, he left happily.

He didn't forget why he came here.

After Shen Lubai left, what he didn't see was that the boss took out an amulet and jade pendant from his bag, the same ones he had just bought, and placed them next to him.

Waiting for the next "destined person" to appear.

The elder sister who just left came back after Shen Lubai left.

Shen Lubai hummed a tune all the way while looking here and there.

Shen Lubai didn't stop until he saw what he wanted.

There was a set of tea sets that he took a liking to at first sight.

There are just a few simple bamboos and bamboo leaves carved on the purple clay teapot, which is simple and monotonous.

Shen Lubai picked it up and looked at it in his hand. He leaned in to smell it and there seemed to be a very light scent coming out.

It was the unique smell of the teapot itself, very pleasant, and he had never smelled such a smell before.

I just feel that it instantly makes people feel refreshed.

The boss was also a strange old man, with white hair and a beard as long as his chest. He sat on his small stool, stroking his beard, looking leisurely and contented.

It was in stark contrast to the boss who was selling amulets just now.

The boss just now was more enthusiastic.

This boss doesn't say a word when guests come.

But it doesn’t matter as long as Shen Lubai bought what he wanted.

He asked his boss to install it for him and then asked the price, which was less than five digits.

This number shocked Shen Lubai. It was so cheap, could it be fake?

But Shen Lubai really likes this set of tea set, and he thinks Master Huo will also like it very much.

So he paid for it and put it carefully in his bag.

Then Shen Lubai walked around again, but didn't see anything else he liked, so he decided to go back.

He looked at the time. It was almost noon.

It was much earlier than he expected. He thought it would take him a long time to find something he liked, but it only took him half a day.

Besides buying tea sets, there were other unexpected gains.

There were no taxis available inside the antique market, so Shen Lubai could only walk outside the door.

When he was halfway there, he noticed two people following him.

At first Shen Lubai thought it was his illusion, but after walking for a while the two men were still following him.

What if the two of them also want to go out with me? After all, there is only one exit here.

So Shen Lubai pretended to squat down to tie his shoelaces and waited for the two men to leave first.

Shen Lubai squatted for a long time. He turned his head slightly and glanced behind him. The two men were standing not far away.

After Shen Lubai stopped, the two of them did not move forward.

It's over. It looks like those two guys are really coming for me.

Could it be that they want to steal my amulet and jade pendant?

Shen Lubai stood up and pretended to be calm as he took the bag from the back and put it in front of him.

Then, while the two men were not paying attention, he suddenly ran into the alley on his right, trying to get rid of them.

When the two men saw that Shen Lubai had discovered them, they followed the direction he ran in.

As he ran, he cursed, "This little bastard is quite clever."
