Chapter 890 Sudden Provocation
The arrogance on the woman's face froze instantly, her eyes widened, and the sunlight shone on those icy blue soul coins, reflecting a dazzling light, but it could not reflect the woman's embarrassment at the moment.
The stall owner snorted softly, bent down, slowly picked up a few spirit coins, and gently placed them back in front of the woman. His action was filled with inviolable dignity: "Miss, please look carefully, these are dozens of coins, not ten thousand. If you can't afford it, please leave."
The snickers from the people peeking around were as sharp as needles, and the woman's cheeks gradually turned red.
The woman said angrily, "What do you mean?"
Luo Li raised her hand, "Besides, I was here first."
She took out a spirit card and handed it to the stall owner, "I want all of these."
Luo Li's voice was cold, and she flicked her fingers. The Soul Card flashed a silver light and landed steadily in the hands of the stall owner.
A hint of surprise flashed across the stall owner's eyes, and then he took it directly and crossed out the transaction with skillful movements.
The eyes of the people around were instantly focused. They saw that the woman's face was ashen and her clenched fists were trembling slightly. However, due to the royal aura that Luo Li inadvertently revealed, they did not dare to attack.
Damn it, if I had known I would run into this little bitch, I should have brought guards with me!
It seemed as if even the air had become silent, leaving only the slight sound of the successful Soul Card transaction echoing in this frozen moment.
Luo Li said calmly, "No need to wrap it up."
"Okay," the stall owner responded naturally, raised his hand and handed the jade box to Luo Li, not taking the woman seriously at all.
Seeing the two men ignoring her as if no one was around, the woman couldn't contain her temper and flew into a rage, "Do you know who I am? How dare you do this to me!"
Luo Li said coldly: "I don't care who you are, and we are doing normal business, what did I do to you?"
"You!" the woman gritted her teeth, "My brother is Yue Zhu, the head of Yueying Pavilion!"
A smug look appeared on Yueqing's face, as if these four words could be her pass to do whatever she wants.
Her finger almost pointed at Luo Li's nose, and her eyes were filled with a mixture of arrogance and anger.
"Did you hear that? Lowly beggar, if you now..."
Upon hearing this, the people around cast surprised glances and started talking, like a breeze blowing across the lake, stirring up layers of ripples.
"The Moon Shadow Pavilion is a force that knows all the intelligence on the continent and is as famous as the Mysterious Shadow Pavilion. This man's brother is the Pavilion Master of the Moon Shadow Pavilion?!"
"The Moon Shadow Pavilion Master is so elusive that almost no one knows what he looks like or how old he is. This guy must be talking nonsense!"
"She looks so bossy, but she doesn't seem to be lying..."
"What pavilion?" Luo Li's expression remained calm, her eyes like cold stars, unmoved. She just tilted her head slightly to avoid the fingers that were almost touching her cheek.
Then he raised his hand and slapped her in the face, his action revealing an inviolable nobility and alienation.
Yue Qing's head was hit off-center and she was stunned for a moment.
"Keep your dirty hands away."
Xuan Mu also rudely knocked her hand away, using great force and some soul power.
Yue Qing felt pain, her wrist was instantly swung so hard that it hurt. The feather fan in her hand flew out of her hand, spun a few times in the air, and then fell on the smooth obsidian slab with a light click.
The air around them seemed to freeze, and everyone held their breath. Xuan Mu's eyes were sharp, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Master of Moon Shadow Pavilion? Where did this second-rate force come from?"
A second-rate force?!
Yue Qing clenched his fists, "Who do you think you are? How dare you insult my Yueying Pavilion!"
Her face turned pale in an instant. She had never been so humiliated before, and her eyes flashed with anger.
She gritted her teeth, endured the pain in her wrist, and reached out to pick up the fallen feather fan. Her fingertips trembled slightly, as if her dignity was shaking along with it.
Xuan Mu sneered, "Eclipse Lord, Xuan Mu. If you're not convinced, you can ask Yue Zhu to come to me in person. You're not qualified to have a conversation with me on an equal footing."
Luo Li crossed her arms, raised her eyebrows, and said nothing.
Yue Qing on the opposite side paused and her pupils shrank suddenly. The title of Xuan Mu, the first young master of Eclipse Territory, was like a biting cold wind, making her shiver involuntarily.
The air around her seemed to freeze. She lowered her head with difficulty, her eyes falling on her trembling fingertips. The tassels on the feather fan swayed gently, as if mocking her powerlessness.
Xuan Mu's figure stretched out in the setting sun. She took a deep breath and finally picked up the feather fan slowly.
At that moment, there was no longer anger in her eyes, but a deep chill, as if she wanted to remember this humiliation and repay it a hundredfold in the future.
Luo Li raised her eyebrows. Yue Qing was really good at imagining things.
Xuan Mu closed his eyes, speechless. "I really don't know how Yue Zhu taught me. I don't even have a brain."
Yueqing gripped the feather fan tightly, her fingertips turning white from the force.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her face, casting a resolute and cold light.
She slowly raised her head, her eyes penetrating the layers of twilight, staring straight at the elongated figure in front of her.
Xuan Mu stood with his hands behind his back, aloof and indifferent, not even looking over his shoulder.
Yue Qing certainly knew how powerful the Eclipse Territory was. If her brother had not repeatedly warned her not to cause trouble before leaving, she would have torn apart that little bitch who dared to hit her in the face!
The female stall owner couldn't stand it any longer, so she packed up her stall and said, "I've sold all the things, so I'll leave now."
"Wait a minute," Luo Li looked at her and said in a deep voice, "I wonder if you made this jade box yourself?"
"No," the female stall owner shook her head, "I never leave the city to buy this stuff. This is a specialty from there, and it's not available anywhere else."
"Not leaving the city?" Luo Li frowned. How could she not have heard of this?
Xuan Mu stopped paying attention to Yue Qing and looked at Luo Li as he explained, "Bulicheng is a rising power in recent years. They excel at alchemy, weapon refining, and formations. However, because there don't seem to be many strong people in Bulicheng, they have always kept a low profile. But after all, they are very good at the three special professions, so no one bothers them and even treats them with courtesy."
"Bulicheng is located at the border between the Northern Alliance and the Southern Alliance. Speaking of which, it seems to be near the territory of Yueying Pavilion."
Luo Li frowned and murmured, "I won't leave the city..."
Could it be them?
No matter what, after the competition is over, let’s go to Buli City.
The female stall owner didn't say anything else. She packed up her bag and left.
Yue Qing stood not far away, her angry eyes fixed on Luo Li. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails almost digging into her palms, her eyes burning with flames of jealousy and unwillingness.
She stared at Luo Li's calm and composed figure, as if she wanted to engrave the other person's outline deeply into her heart.
The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the two of them, lengthening their shadows, but also reflecting Yueqing's distorted face.
A gust of wind blew by, causing her clothes to flutter, just like her chaotic mood at the moment, which was difficult to calm down.
