As the saying goes, wealth should not be shown to outsiders. Fan Li could easily take out a top-grade spirit stone as a reward, which made other cultivators jealous.
Seeing that she was alone, he immediately had bad thoughts.
Fan Li naturally noticed the change in the atmosphere around her. She curled the corners of her lips slightly, no longer concealing the aura of the golden elixir.
As soon as the golden elixir's aura came out, the cultivators showed fear on their faces, and quickly restrained their malicious intent, pretending that nothing had happened.
Fan Li raised his eyebrows slightly and said to the little girl behind Awen, "Look up."
Only then did Awen realize that Fan Li was not talking to him.
The person standing behind Awen was the little girl he had just pushed down.
The little girl raised her head timidly. Because she was too thin, her chin looked very pointy. She looked at Fan Li with some uneasiness.
Fan Li used his spiritual power to bring the little girl to his presence and asked, "What's your name?"
The little girl seemed to have just realized that she had been chosen by the immortal. She was flattered but also very timid.
She grabbed the hem of her clothes and said in a low voice, "My name is Alan."
Fan Li asked: "Alan, can you be my guide?"
Awen on the side clenched his fists and said anxiously: "Beautiful sister, Alan doesn't understand anything, she..."
"I can do it!" Alan said in a strong and powerful voice with sparkling eyes.
Awen glared at Alan unwillingly.
Fan Li had already made the decision. Awen knew he had no chance, so he shut up and watched them leave.
After the figure disappeared, Awen continued to lead the other little beggars to find the next target.
Soon, they turned their attention to the two female practitioners.
These two female cultivators are dressed better than Fan Li, they must be richer!
Awen winked at the little beggars and repeated his old trick, surrounding them hand in hand.
Sheng Yinyin was feeling upset over some trivial matters and was suddenly surrounded by dirty little beggars, which made her even angrier.
Just as she was about to lose her temper, she heard the little beggar praising her, and Sheng Yinyin's anger subsided. She folded her hands and waited for them to finish singing.
Seeing that the time had come, Awen stopped and began to ask for spirit stones.
Now Sheng Yinyin frowned again.
The last time she had a conflict with Fan Li in the Beast Taming Sect, she lost a lot of spirit stones. Since then, she has been living in extreme poverty.
These little beggars actually wanted to ask her for spiritual stones just by talking? What a wishful thinking!
Sheng Yinyin raised her eyebrows and said coldly, "Get lost!"
The little beggars refused to leave and knelt on the ground, begging loudly for spirit stones.
The noise was too loud to ignore and everyone nearby looked over.
"Fellow Daoist, just give me some spirit stones to get rid of it, so as to avoid wasting time. It's not worth it." It was the kind-hearted stall owner who couldn't bear it and said something.
Seeing this, the woman in yellow next to Sheng Yinyin took out two low-grade spirit stones and threw them on the ground, saying as if she was chasing away a dog on the side of the road:
"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you. Just get out of the way."
Awen couldn't help but frown.
These two low-grade spirit stones looked very rough and dull in color, only slightly prettier than the stones on the roadside.
The little beggars had just seen the top-grade spirit stones and knew there were better ones. The lower-grade spirit stones were not enough to satisfy their appetite, so they still refused to leave.
No one even touched the two low-grade spirit stones.
Seeing this, Sheng Yinyin's suppressed temper completely exploded, and she kicked away the nearest beggar.
She moved so quickly that the woman in yellow didn't have time to stop her.
The little beggars' chattering stopped abruptly and they turned to look at their fallen companion.
Awen ran over and checked the little beggar's breath.
"Murder! The monk killed someone!" Awen led the shouting.
As soon as he finished speaking, the little beggars burst into screams of fear, like a boiling kettle, the sound was extremely shrill.
The stall owner sighed and shook his head helplessly, but there was no sympathy in his eyes.
Sheng Yinyin was surprised for a moment, then regained her composure and said sternly, "You are a bunch of rats from the gutter. You are so arrogant when I treat you well. Remember this next time and avoid me when you see me!"
Sheng Yinyin was about to leave when a couple suddenly rushed out from the corner, hugging the dead little beggar and crying bitterly.
This "couple" was none other than the two Qi-refining monks who had been observing secretly.
"It's unjust that a monk killed someone in broad daylight!" the woman's voice was shrill.
The little beggars also started crying loudly, their voices as mournful as they could be.
Before Sheng Yinyin knew it, they were surrounded by the locals, who stared at them with unfriendly faces.
Sheng Yinyin's heart started to panic, and she had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
She just killed a mortal, why did these monks look at her like this?
Soon, several soldiers wearing spiritual armor came over, surrounding a respected old man.
The old man claimed to be the manager of this street. He read the rules of Qingyun City to Sheng Yinyin.
"Those who enter Qingyun City must not kill innocent people. Even a little beggar is a living being!"
"I think you are a disciple of a sect, a true righteous cultivator. How can you be so cruel and ruthless? Which sect are you from? Who are you a disciple of?!"
Sheng Yinyin had been in trouble before, so she didn't dare to reveal her identity and bring shame to her master.
Her face turned blue and red, and she explained palely: "I...I didn't mean it."
Although the manager is just a foundation-building cultivator, the entire Qingyun City is behind him. Sheng Yinyin is not brave enough to go against Qingyun City.
Besides, she came here for important matters and could not be kicked out.
Sheng Yinyin regretted her impulsiveness.
I thought the steward would definitely hold them accountable, but he suddenly changed his attitude and said, "You look kind, so I don't think you did it on purpose. If it's a misunderstanding, then it's easy to deal with."
Sheng Yinyin nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, it's all a misunderstanding!"
The manager said, "Since it's a misunderstanding, then compensate me with some spirit stones."
Sheng Yinyin said readily: "Sure!" As long as she doesn't get kicked out.
Sheng Yinyin was already preparing to take out the spirit stones, but the manager started with a double-digit number.
"Fifty high-grade spirit stones!"
"Okay, okay, wait a minute..."
"Wait, what did you say?" Sheng Yinyin asked in shock, "Are you sure it's not fifty low-grade or medium-grade spirit stones?"
The steward put his hands behind his back and said with his lips opening and closing: "Fifty high-grade spirit stones. You heard it right."
Sheng Yinyin's eyes widened: "He is just a little beggar, how can he be worth so much money?!"
The woman holding the little beggar said angrily: "What did you say? How can my son be worthless? I think you are a pretty girl, why do you say such cold words?"
The surrounding monks looked at Sheng Yinyin with even more ominous eyes.
The steward urged impatiently: "Alright, alright, hand over the spirit stones quickly, I have other things to deal with."
Sheng Yinyin paid the spirit stones with a painful look on her face. The manager left immediately, and the beggars who were crying and shouting also ran away.
The crowd dispersed, and Sheng Yinyin slowly realized that she had fallen into a trap!
The beggar and the manager were in the same group. If she had used spirit stones to send the beggar away at the beginning, she might have only lost a few spirit stones instead of bleeding heavily!
I guess that little beggar is not that woman’s child at all!
Damn it! I was blackmailed for a lot of spiritual stones just after entering the city! The world outside is so dangerous!
These fifty high-quality spirit stones were given to her by her master, so that she could take them to the auction to buy the Dream Soul Music Score.
Although there are still quite a lot in the storage ring, fifty high-grade spirit stones is not a small number. How is she going to explain to her master when the time comes? wuwuwuwu!
"Senior Sister Yin Yin, let's go."
"Well, let's go."
Sheng Yinyin walked away with a hapless look on her face.
......
"Sister, I am also very familiar with Qingyun City. You can ask me anything you want to know."
After getting away from the group of little beggars, Alan became much braver and his voice became clearer.
Alan walked aside, looking up at Fan Li from time to time.
Fan Liqing said coldly: "Take me to Piao Miao Pavilion."
"Okay, sister, please follow me." Alan walked quickly to the front to lead the way.
Fan Li didn't talk much to her along the way.
Unlike what Alan imagined, she thought the fairy in front of her would be a very gentle older sister.
Half an incense stick later, Fan Li arrived at Piao Miao Pavilion.
Alan stood outside and waited.
