Yuguo is so scary
Jiang Jingyuan silently corrected himself in his mind, "Except for daily necessities, the Lin family's money was only spent on the necessary preparations for the scam."
The Yuan Kingdom is solemn and reserved, the Yu Kingdom is extravagant and ostentatious, and as for Lin... at first glance, it looks very shabby.
They basically don't spend any money, and I don't know why the Lin people work so hard to make so much money... Jiang Jingyuan thought, and raised his feet to follow the flow of people.
However, Hua Simiao also reminded her that the people of Yuguo are decent and can cheat people of money decently.
The Yuan Kingdom is still prosperous, and the royal heir will not be short of money. Even if any low-level defensive magic weapon from the pile given by Rong Yejin is sold, it would be enough for a person to live a peaceful life for most of his life.
But there is a big difference between spending money yourself and being cheated into spending money by others.
It would be fine if she didn't know, but now that she knows what Yu is like, she definitely can't be taken advantage of...
Seven days later.
Night market in Yuguk Gyeonggi.
Star-like lights lit up and gradually gathered into a long, winding dragon. The orange-red flames swayed and illuminated the deep night.
Men, women, young and old, came and went, walking together on the stone road that was illuminated by the firelight. They held lanterns in one hand and some exquisite and complicated small objects in the other.
Amidst the laughter and chatter, they turned their heads left and right to look at the small stalls on both sides of the road that were filled with countless shiny objects, which was truly dazzling.
The people sitting behind the stalls did not shout. They smiled and looked at the men and women in colorful clothes walking by. From time to time, they turned their heads to chat with the vendors at the stalls next to them. Only when someone stopped in front of their stalls would they slowly introduce themselves as if chatting.
As the night wind blew, Jiang Jingyuan, who had been rather lost in thought, suddenly snapped back to her senses. She glanced around at the scene around her, her expression changing slightly, a trace of bewilderment in her eyes.
No, what is she doing?
Jiang Jingyuan calmed down and thought about his experiences in the past few days. The expression on his face became uglier and uglier.
In just seven days, she spent two months' salary...
Jiang Jingyuan was silent for a long time.
She wanted to take it back. She thought that even if she was not short of money, she was still too poor. Yuguo was not a place where she could stay for long...
It seemed like she didn't buy anything, but she didn't feel unhappy or regretful at all until now...
Jiang Jingyuan thought with a heavy heart:
"Yuguo, it's so scary..."
Never again.
real.
After thinking about it, she hesitated for a moment, but decided to continue moving forward. Since she was already here, she might as well continue and take a look.
As the night deepened, the number of people visiting the night market increased rather than decreased. Jiang Jingyuan walked among them, and the things on the stalls on both sides were so exquisite and interesting that her curiosity overwhelmed her discomfort in the crowd.
Jiang Jingyuan walked slowly.
Walking to the second half of the night market, Jiang Jingyuan saw birds and rabbits gradually appearing on the stalls on both sides. She even saw from a distance that there were vendors with lazy and sleepy long snakes wrapped around their bodies, and small snakes as thick as thumbs swam on the vendors' raised hands...Further away, shadows of various colors were swaying, and the vendors were carrying all kinds of things.
"My dear little sir, do you like this colorful rabbit? This little rabbit is also looking at you, my dear little sir. Pick it up and take a closer look at it. Is it good-looking?"
The crowd flowed like a tide, the orange-red firelight softly reflected on the faces of three people beside the stall. The vendor smiled and held a colorful little rabbit in his palm and handed it to the boy in front of him.
The boy had soft features. He lowered his eyes and looked at the colorful rabbit in front of him, with a faint gentle smile on the corner of his mouth. He did not refuse and reached out to take the rabbit from the vendor.
The chubby, colorful little rabbit curled up into a fluffy ball in his palm, with its head tilted back and its ears folded back. The little rabbit blinked its black eyes and looked at the boy in front of it with vigilance and a bit of curiosity.
In an instant, a pool of tender water seemed to slowly spread out in the boy's eyes, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth a little more.
Seeing this, the vendor behind the stall also smiled.
The young man in front of him looks like a young master from a wealthy family. If nothing unexpected happens, the order is a sure thing.
Thinking of this, the peddler was about to say something like "This rabbit squeaks when others touch it, but I didn't expect it to be so well-behaved with you, young master." "This little rabbit is of extraordinary appearance. If it hadn't been so fierce to outsiders before, it would have been snatched away by others." "It seems that it is really destined to be with you, young master. In this case, I will sell it at cost price, just to find a good home for this little rabbit." He had said these words for hundreds of times when he saw a girl standing in front of him move impatiently.
The vendor's smile froze again, and his words wound in his throat. He had seen this situation before. Usually, when the person traveling with him grew impatient, even if he liked the person, he would hesitate for a moment before giving up.
Thinking about this, his eyes suddenly became determined. He had to do this deal today! Today, he must use all he had learned in his life to avenge his previous shame and never let another deal slip away!
The vendor cleared his throat and opened his mouth.
However, before he could finish his words, the girl in front of him glanced at the boy and said impatiently, "How long are you going to watch?"
"Ah..." The boy suddenly came back to his senses and turned to look at the girl beside him in panic. He handed the rabbit in his hand forward and said carefully, "A-A Shui, let's keep going..."
Hearing this, the vendor in front of them felt disappointed. Damn it, he should have said it sooner!
The girl called "A Shui" glanced at the boy with disdain after hearing this, raised her hand to put the money on the stall in front of her, and turned around, "If you want it, just buy it. Why are you dawdling? Are you going to leave or not?"
juvenile:"!!!"
Vendor: “!!!”
Oh my god, he bought it right away? The vendor looked at the purse on the stall several times in disbelief, then slowly reached out to take the purse and opened it. He looked down and then "snapped" the purse tightly in his hand.
So heroic!
You know, especially at these small stalls selling cats and dogs, each one has a different price, which is not only expensive, but also so expensive that it's hard to tell how much! What's more, the things on display at this night market, big and small, are not cheap at all. The prices are at least doubled.
I didn't expect this girl, who looked so quiet, to be so generous once she made a move...
The young man in front of the stall was holding a colorful little rabbit. He was stunned for a moment, then his face was full of surprise: "Can I really raise it?!"
"Forget it if you don't want it." The girl snorted coldly.
The vendor instantly came to his senses, quickly put away his purse, and said to the young man in front of him with a broad smile, "Wait a minute, young master. I'll give you a basket to put the rabbit in, and also bring you some food, in case the rabbit is not used to the sudden change of taste."
"Okay." The boy responded, turned to the girl next to him and said with a smile, "A Shui, wait for me for a moment."
The girl didn't say anything, glanced back at him, and didn't leave.
The vendor grinned from ear to ear, unable to contain himself. He prepared the basket and food, occasionally glancing up at the two people before him. Suddenly, he paused, as if realizing something, and said with a smile, "Young Master and this young lady look quite a bit alike. Are they brother and sister visiting the night market together? We can go to the back of the street later; there are some rare finds there!"
As soon as these words came out, the young man in front of him was about to smile and shake his head to explain something, but the girl next to him suddenly looked gloomy and ugly. She frowned and turned around and said, "Are you going or not?!"
After saying that, she didn't wait any longer and just walked away.
The boy's face paled, his eyes filled with fear and confusion, but he simply turned around to take the things the vendor handed him and hurriedly chased after him: "A Shui, wait!"
What's going on...? The vendor behind him looked at the two figures who hurried away and merged into the crowd, confused. Did he say something wrong?
This shouldn't be the case. With his ability, how could he possibly drive away a big customer... The vendor sat down slowly, holding his pocket of money tightly, with a serious face, thinking back over every word he had just said.
"I think I only asked if they were brother and sister?" The vendor frowned, wondering, "If they weren't, they wouldn't be so angry after hearing this... Most people, when misunderstood in this kind of situation, would just smile awkwardly and offer a casual explanation, right?"
"Why are you so angry?"
The vendor was puzzled.
This question concerns his future career.
He actually drove away a big customer. This is simply a shame for his life! It is also a shame for the people of Yu country!
He must think carefully about it...
This kind of thinking is a lifelong thing.
In the orange night market.
Not far away, a young girl in a flowing, graceful goose-yellow dress quietly watched the scene. She wasn't the type to be curious about such trivial things she'd accidentally witnessed, but this time was different—
The girl who was called "A Shui" just now was carrying a magic weapon.
In Jiang Jingyuan's mind, Xu Qinglin's voice answered her question calmly, "The magical weapon that person possesses is far inferior to the Blood Seal."
Jiang Jingyuan's face remained calm upon hearing this. He only asked in his mind, "Then why did you ask me to keep an eye on her? Besides, what if she has a magical weapon on her? Everyone has a few magical weapons along the way. Are you trying to get me to steal them?"
"Her magical weapon isn't as good as the Blood Seal, but it's far superior to the bracelet on your hand, and even better than your plum blossom sleeve arrows." Xu Qinglin continued leisurely, speaking in a casual tone, "It's the grade of a national treasure."
“?!”
Jiang Jingyuan was startled and asked in astonishment, "Are you sure? How could someone be running around with a national treasure? And not even trying to hide their presence, so you'd find out?"
"No." Xu Qinglin said, "She has magical instruments and talismans that can conceal her aura. She can hide it from others, but not from me."
There was a hint of confidence and pride in her casual and relaxed tone.
Jiang Jingyuan was speechless for a moment. Just as he was about to ask something, he heard Xu Qinglin continue, "I don't know why she would bring such a magical weapon, so I asked you to keep an eye on her and see if you can find any clues."
"..." Jiang Jingyuan was silent for a long time with a stern face before speaking bluntly, "No matter what, there's no need for me to snatch it away. In that case, even if I observe some clues, what does it have to do with me?"
"Don't you want it?" Xu Qinglin asked curiously.
Jiang Jingyuan thought to herself, "Haha." How could someone with such a powerful magical weapon not have a way to defend themselves? And how could they not have a powerful backer to rely on? If she really chased after him and tried to steal the magical weapon, who knew who would suffer in the end...
Just like when she was in Bai Zhou Mountain, what did it matter if the people chasing her had high cultivation? Didn't she, who couldn't even cultivate, kill them?
What's more, even if she really snatched the magic weapon and was ruthless enough to get rid of the person, what she would have to face next would be the wrath of the forces behind the girl, and she would be hunted down from now on.
"I want to, but I can't." Jiang Jingyuan answered frankly.
It was just a thought. Although she had come through time and understood that it was impossible to remain as indifferent to the world as before, she was not a competitive person by nature. Perhaps considerable benefits would prompt her to take the initiative, but it was obvious that the benefits she might gain from taking the initiative this time would not last long.
