It was already noon when I came out of the library after cleaning.
Around lunchtime, Zhu Yi ate a simple rice ball and then headed to Anyuan Town at the foot of the mountain.
Take a stroll.
They call it market research.
The lucky charm was perched on her shoulder; she didn't know how it managed to lie so steadily.
The residents of Anyuan Town live at the foot of Tianlanzong Mountain and often interact with...
It's not unusual for cultivators to interact with each other.
The ancient street, with its blue bricks and gray tiles, evokes the feeling of an ancient street in Jiangnan, a truly dreamlike place.
"I usually come and go in a hurry, just to this teleportation array office, and rarely have the opportunity to conduct in-depth research." Zhu Yi said with a smug look.
"Meow? What's 'holding a cigarette'? Do you still smoke?" Zhao Cai didn't understand.
The tricky words Zhu Yi used.
Zhu Yi suddenly realized she had used an unfamiliar term, and patiently...
He said, "It means that before we understand something, we should first delve into it."
Observe further to learn more useful information.
Zhao Cai glanced sideways and scoffed at Zhu Yi: "Isn't this just scouting?"
Why are you being so high-profile?
Zhu Yi rolled her eyes. What was this glutton doing?
Forget it, you really can't reason with a brat.
Zhao Cai watched the passersby in the town market with great interest. It enjoyed sitting high up and looking at a group of people whose cultivation was inferior to its own. As a powerful spirit beast cat in the Nascent Soul stage, it was equivalent to a Nascent Soul stage cultivator in human cultivation, which gave it a great sense of superiority!
"Selling cloth, selling new silkworm silk~"
"Spirit rice! Fresh spirit rice!"
"New seafood! Seafood brought back by sect disciples during their missions! First come, first served!" The coarse cloth vendors called out one after another, bringing back the long-lost atmosphere of the morning market.
"Seafood?" Zhao Cai's ears twitched, clearly indicating to Zhu Yi that it should buy some.
Order some seafood.
"Seafood Meow~"
The seafood congee that Zhu Yi cooked last time was delicious. While Zhu Yi was busy, Zhao Cai secretly served himself a bowl...
It's so delicious!
Zhu Yi spoiled Zhao Cai; she went and sold twenty low-grade spirit stones worth of dried seafood. It wasn't much, and judging from the quality, it wasn't as good as the dried seafood that Senior Brother Mu Yu had brought.
good.
"Next time we're looking for good food, we'll have to rely on our two senior brothers!"
Zhu Yi suddenly realized, and then Zhao Cai chimed in, "Mu Yu actually has a trick up his sleeve."
There's a lot to it, don't let his serious demeanor fool you...
Zhao Cai, with her arrogant disdain, criticized Mu Yu—oh, no, exposed Mu Yu's shortcomings...
Zhu Yi made notes in her notebook as she walked: Most of the things at the market
They sell primary agricultural products such as whole grains and vegetables. The variety of fruits is relatively limited, with sour fruit being the most common, peaches being rare, and a few apricots and plums available.
There are a lot of coarse linen clothes, and most of the goods in the market are targeted at ordinary residents of Anyuan Town.
At the end of the market, there are small branches of Xianzhen Pavilion and Duobao Pavilion.
The two shops are facing each other, almost like they're competing against each other.
"These two stores target different users!" Zhu Yi was a little puzzled.
"What is a target user?" Zhao Cai humbly inquired, "And what kind of obscure term is it?"
Before Zhu Yi could finish her sentence, she was bumped head-on by a little girl of about five or six years old.
The little girl lost her balance and fell down in front of Zhu Yi.
"Ouch! Big sister, don't bully me!" the little girl's voice rang out again.
The sound was loud and clear, particularly jarring in the bustling crowd.
Zhu Yi instinctively backed away: "No, little sister, you're not!"
"Ah!" The little girl was just up to Zhu Yi's thigh. She was dressed simply and plainly, and looked like a child from an ordinary family.
Zhu Yixin thought the little girl was quite cute, but was proven wrong the next second.
"Waaah! Don't bully me! Ah Fu didn't steal big sister's purse!"
Zhao Cai Gang was quite interested in waiting for Zhu Yi to get bumped and suffer a setback, but before he could even blink, the little girl made such a surprising remark.
"Meow!" Zhao Cai was unhappy with the way people around it and Zhu Yi were looking at it like trash.
Zhu Yi bent down to help the little girl up, but was stunned by the child's surprising words the next second.
"I really didn't steal your purse, please don't hit me! And please don't sell me!"
Zhu Yi was dumbfounded. She hadn't done anything, and this child had tried to scam her.
The flowers on the mountain don't look pretty anymore.
Zhaocai watched the little girl's performance with great interest; it rarely spoke when it was down the mountain.
It feels a little embarrassed by the chatter around it, which is really damaging to its proud and heroic image as a feline master.
"They're all grown up, yet they're bullying a little girl. The world is going to the dogs."
"You're really something, girl. She looks quite pretty, how could you bear to bully this little girl?" said an old woman selling pork next to Zhu Yi indignantly.
"Judging from your clothes, you must be from the Tianlan Sect. Even if you are a disciple of Tianlan, you can't bully people like this!"
Seeing that someone was backing her up, the little girl became even more unrestrained and started talking nonsense, falsely accusing Zhu Yi.
She cried bitterly and pitifully, sobbing and wailing.
"I... I didn't mean to... the older sister wasn't looking where she was going and bumped into me!"
The little girl's arguments became more and more reasonable, and Zhu Yi felt that she was clearly a habitual con artist who would stage an accident to extort money.
His stutter was so clear that everyone around him could hear it perfectly.
"This little brat even knows how to exploit the public's pity for the weak to build his own momentum," Zhu Yi whispered to Zhao Cai.
"Anyway, I, the great cat, have no appetite for seafood now!" Zhao Cai was also a little angry. As a proud and reasonable cat, who in the Tianlan Sect didn't respect it?
It hasn't come down the mountain to play for several years. A few years ago, when it came down the mountain, an old woman would give it fish to eat.
"Little Zhu Yi, why do you always encounter some kind of trouble every time you go down the mountain?" Zhao Cai was a little unhappy. Zhu Yi felt wronged when she heard this. She said she was a victim, someone who was being scammed. What did this have to do with her?
Seeing that Zhu Yi ignored her, the little girl became even more energetic. Her foxy eyes darted around. "Big sister, my new clothes are all torn and my palms are bleeding. I'm sure I'll get scolded by my mother when I get home!"
As she spoke, she grabbed Zhu Yi's hand with her dirty little hand and tried to lead him into a small alley.
Zhu Yi doesn't have the habit of not being touched by strangers, nor would she instinctively slap the little girl; that would be too cruel.
Without hesitation, she said, "Little Flower, stop fooling around! Your mother worked so hard to save up money for your tuition and send you to Tianlan Academy. You can't skip classes!"
"I came out to take you to school, and you're playing hide-and-seek with me?"
Zhu Yi looked heartbroken, her eyes filled with the frustration and disappointment of her older sister facing her disobedient, truant child.
The wind direction changed immediately.
Immediately, someone stepped forward to advise the little girl: "It's a good thing that your sister wants to take you to school. How can you go against her?"
"It's normal for kids to skip school and lie if they don't like going to class. Let's all go home!"
Zhu Yi's playful and piercing gaze lightly landed on the little girl. The little girl had never experienced anything like this before; someone was even more shameless than her.
She protested, "I'm not! You're not my sister! You ruined my clothes, you have to pay for them!"
