Chapter 629: Jade Pendant Dispute
As she spoke, she reached out to grab it, but was gently pulled by the sleeve by a seemingly calm man next to her. The man frowned slightly, as if weighing something.
A willful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her fingers almost touched the edge of the jade pendant that Chi Yan was holding tightly. The jade pendant was emitting a warm luster under the light, which particularly attracted the girl's attention.
Such a beautiful jade pendant, since she has taken a fancy to it, it can only belong to her!
Chi Yan remained motionless, his eyes firm. With a slight twist of his wrist, the jade pendant cleverly avoided the girl's touch. At the same time, his gentle yet resolute voice echoed in the air, "This is mine."
"What do you mean 'yours'?" The girl's face changed slightly when she heard that. She glared at Chi Yan in dissatisfaction. Just as she was about to explode, the man next to her gently held her shoulder.
Luo Li stood aside with her arms folded, looking at the man and woman, raising her eyebrows slightly.
It turns out he is a mixed-blood, but judging from his aura, he should not be from Jinglong Territory.
"This place is near the Domain Lord's Mansion in Shenxiao City. Don't forget the purpose of our trip. Don't cause trouble." The man next to the girl whispered a few words. Although his voice was soft, it carried unquestionable majesty.
The girl's arrogance instantly subsided a bit, and she glared at the jade pendant unwillingly, "But, I really like this jade pendant! I must have it!"
Before the girl finished her words, a breeze blew by, carrying the faint fragrance of flowers from the Domain Lord's Mansion. It seemed that even the air was filled with an indescribable dignity and tranquility.
There was a hint of stubbornness and grievance in her unwilling eyes. Her fingers curled slightly, but finally she slowly let go, her eyes fixed on the jade pendant in Chi Yan's hand.
Chi Yan's face was still as calm as water. He gently stroked the edge of the jade pendant, with a hint of stubbornness in his eyes.
He was the first one to see the jade pendant!
The shopkeeper coughed lightly and explained, "Miss, these customers saw this jade pendant first."
He raised the Crystal Soul Card that Luo Li had given him and said with a wry smile, "Look, I've given all the Crystal Soul Cards of these guests."
He then proposed a solution, "This Blazing Spirit Jade is not rare. Our shop also has some jade pendants made of rare spirit jade. Would you like to take a look?"
The girl's face was tinged with a faint blush in the afterglow of the setting sun. She bit her lower lip, and the unyielding light in her eyes formed a sharp contrast with the peaceful atmosphere around her.
"I don't care! I want this one!"
The breeze blew gently, lifting the scattered hair in front of her forehead and brushing lightly across her fair cheeks, revealing a bit of coquettishness.
The young man behind her was having a headache. "Azhi, this isn't Ancient God Peak. Don't be so willful!"
Luo Li raised her eyebrows. She didn't realize that this girl's brother seemed to be a sensible person.
But the next second, she heard the man say, "Just stay here and don't move. I'll go negotiate with them."
This time they were just visiting Jinglong Territory and must not cause any trouble.
The girl named Azhi was obviously dissatisfied, but she calmed down after being patiently comforted by her brother.
The man breathed a sigh of relief, as his little sister's arrogant personality had caused her a lot of trouble.
When he was in the Canghai Domain, he still had the support of Ancient God Peak behind him, but this time he was in the Jinglong Domain. He heard that the Lord of the Jinglong Domain was a very intolerant person, so he couldn't leave a bad impression on him.
He nodded and walked towards Luo Li and the other two opposite him.
Chi Yan looked at the person who was staring at the spiritual jade in his hand and frowned tightly.
Luo Li patted his shoulder and blocked Chi Yan, who was about to explode, behind her.
Luo Li patted Chi Yan's shoulder gently but forcefully. Although Chi Yan's brows were not completely relaxed, the hostility that was ready to explode at any time was quietly restrained a little.
He stood sideways, his fiery red hair swaying gently in the breeze like a burning flame, but it could not hide the trust and dependence on Luo Li in his eyes.
Luo Li stood between the two of them, wearing a plain dress as elegant as bamboo, with a faint smile on her lips. The smile was indifferent, making it impossible to understand what she was thinking.
She looked at the man calmly, with a faint light in her eyes. She wanted to see if this man had the nerve to speak.
The man walked up to Luo Li, cleared his throat, and began to introduce himself, "Miss, I am Zhao Fuhua, the Young Territory Master of Canghai Territory. Today I have brought my younger sister to visit the Territory Master of Jinglong Territory."
Luo Li raised her eyebrows slightly, a smile on her lips, "So?"
Zhao Fuhua frowned slightly. He had already introduced himself, so why didn't this man offer the spiritual jade with both hands?
But outside, he always acted like a gentleman. He smiled and said, "Miss, my sister and I were passing by here, and my younger sister fell in love with this spiritual jade at first sight. I wonder if you would be willing to part with it? I will compensate you."
Luo Li smiled, and Zhao Fuhua thought that the girl must be moved.
Unexpectedly, the next second, I heard Luo Li say, "No."
She raised her chin slightly and said, "You don't know what first come, first served means? My Crystal Soul Card is already in the store's hands."
Luo Li glanced at the shopkeeper who was in a bit of a dilemma and said calmly, "Shopkeeper, why don't you transfer the Crystal Soul Coins quickly?"
She gently raised her hand and tapped the Crystal Soul Card with her fingertips. There was an irresistible elegance in that movement, which made the air around them seem to freeze for a moment.
Seeing this, beads of sweat oozed out of the shopkeeper's forehead. He looked at Luo Li, then secretly glanced at Zhao Fuhua's smile, which seemed gentle but actually contained a sharp edge, and groaned in his heart.
This girl looks like she has a great fortune, and the other party is the powerful young lord of Canghai Territory. He doesn't want to offend either of them!
Finally, he gritted his teeth, and with trembling hands, he took out a special card reader from under the counter and mechanically deducted the amount of Luo Li's Crystal Soul Coins. Each tick was accompanied by a crisp "tick" sound, as if time was infinitely stretched at this moment.
Luo Li's face showed no fluctuation, but she was thinking in her heart that this shop owner was a conscientious person.
Zhao Fuhua narrowed his eyes. These people really refused to accept my toast and ended up drinking a forfeit!
He didn't stop the shopkeeper from swiping the card. Once the man and two monsters walked out of the store, he had a hundred ways to get the jade back!
But the girl named Ah Zhi couldn't accept it and yelled, "I said it's mine! What gives you the right?"
Zhao Fuhua was too lazy to look at her younger sister who was going crazy again. Her eyes were as sharp as ice as she swept over the trembling figure of the shopkeeper. A sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, and there was a ruthlessness in that smile that should not be underestimated.
When the crisp "tick-tick" sound finally stopped, he slowly stood up. It seemed as if a cold air condensed around him, and the air around him was chilled.
Luo Li was too lazy to look at the two siblings. She turned around and left the store with Chi Yan, who was very happy to get the spiritual jade, and Barrett, whose expression remained calm from beginning to end.
