The two people waiting in the courtyard of the market to participate in the auction were a middle-aged man and a teenager hiding on the bed with a damaged dantian.
The two addressed each other as father and son, but Shi Xuan observed that the middle-aged man always showed an unconscious respect when dealing with the injured boy.
What father treats his son like this! Therefore, these two must not be father and son, but master and servant.
They probably thought they had concealed it well. Little did they know that Shi Xuan had seen through them at a glance.
"May I ask your names?"
The middle-aged man glanced at the boy on the bed and replied, "Our surname is Luo. My name is Luo Yisheng. This is my family's... family child's name is Luo Qin. He is seventeen years old this year and was injured while traveling for training."
Shi Xuan nodded and placed his hand on the boy's arm.
The boy named Luo Qin instinctively flinched, then realized that the man was going to treat him, so he refrained from moving.
"Were you injured by someone?" Shi Xuan withdrew his hand and asked casually.
Luo Yisheng asked hesitantly, "Are different treatments used for injuries caused by different objects?"
Shi Xuan nodded solemnly and said in a serious tone, "Different treatment methods will be used depending on whether the injury is caused by a person, a demon beast, a weapon, or spiritual power."
"What methods will be used respectively? What are the differences?" Luo Yisheng followed up with questions.
Shi Xuan's face immediately darkened, and he snorted coldly, "If you two don't trust me, why bother bidding for this treatment spot? Besides, treating the dantian is no ordinary matter; it requires the divine sense to enter the body. Since you are so suspicious, I have no way to treat you. You two should find someone else!"
After saying that, he turned and left, completely ignoring the two of them.
She's just putting on airs. They need her help, so why wouldn't she take advantage of them?
Upon seeing her turn to leave, Luo Yisheng panicked. He quickly stepped forward, blocking Shi Xuan's path, and said, "We paid 28,000 high-grade spirit stones for this spot! How can we refuse treatment like this?!"
"Hmph, a mere 28,000 high-grade spirit stones? Have you never seen spirit stones before?" Shi Xuan retorted. "You want me to treat you, yet you keep asking questions and full of doubts. I can't afford to treat patients like that!"
As Shi Xuan spoke, he began to walk around Luo Yicheng and head outside.
"Wait...cough cough...wait a minute," the boy lying on the bed finally spoke, "I, my father, was just worried and confused. I hope Master Yuan will forgive me."
Shi Xuan curled her lip: "Heh, it really takes a lot of patience to entertain people like you."
The boy's face stiffened for a moment, clearly showing his displeasure. But now that he needed help, he had no choice but to humble himself and beg Shi Xuan to treat him.
"I was injured by a human, not a monster, cough cough..." The boy had clearly been injured for a long time, and he was already panting after saying just a few words.
Seeing that he had already spoken, the middle-aged man picked up where he left off and continued, "It is a blunt weapon that strikes the dantian directly, accompanied by internal injuries caused by spiritual energy entering the body."
Shi Xuan rolled her eyes at him, displaying her arrogance to the fullest.
"Hmph, it's only because you came all this way that I'm letting you off the hook. Otherwise, you'd be better off as guests."
Despite saying this, Shi Xuan still didn't make a move and continued to mock them in a sarcastic tone.
Luo Qin's face visibly turned red, as if he was trying hard to suppress his anger, but Shi Xuan pretended not to understand.
"Forget it, I'm not in the mood for treatment today. I'll come back at this time tomorrow. You should think it over carefully: do you want to continue treatment here or seek treatment from someone more skilled?"
With a very impatient expression, she shoved Luo Yisheng and walked out the door.
Once outside, Shi Xuan immediately dropped her sarcastic expression, as if she hadn't been the arrogant and unreasonable person she had just been.
Suddenly, a commotion arose ahead, coming from the direction of the budget shop.
Shi Xuan overheard a deep male voice calling "Retreat Spirit Stone," and roughly understood what was going on.
Shi Xuan wasn't in a hurry and strolled over to the cheap shop.
As expected, Tu Yecheng, along with several subordinates, blocked the entrance of the discount shop, demanding a refund of his deposit from yesterday's auction.
"Return the spirit stones! You swindlers, you think you can cheat me out of my thousand high-grade spirit stones?!"
The one who came out to solve the problem was Wang Laosan.
Wang Laosan, a seasoned street urchin, was quite adept at handling such matters. Showing no anger, he replied with a bright smile, "Immortal Master, please don't make things difficult for me. This isn't something I can decide. You made a move at the auction yesterday, and according to our previous agreement, the spirit stones can't be refunded. Now you want a refund? I'd rather die than give you one!"
Tu Yecheng was not about to let the matter rest. He shouted, "Then let the person in charge come out! What do you mean by sending a clerk to fob me off?!"
Under his loud shouting, the cheap shop once again became the center of the market. People from all around, seeing that there was something to watch, flocked to this direction, and in no time, the entrance of the cheap shop was crowded with onlookers.
Many people are unaware of the details. All they know is that three days ago, the discount shop sold tickets with a deposit, saying the deposit would be refunded after the auction. Now, some people have not received their deposits. Could it be that the discount shop engaged in false advertising, deceiving people by claiming non-refundable tickets were refundable?
Just as Shi Xuan reached the door, Tu Yecheng was calling for the person in charge.
Shi Xuan chuckled and said, "The person in charge is here now. Is there a problem?"
Tu Yecheng turned his head and saw that the person who came was Shi Xuan. His expression froze for a moment.
Actually, he didn't want to offend the only cultivator in the Qian Yuan Continent who could heal the dantian. Who could guarantee that after the Tu family was destroyed, no one would be able to damage their dantian?
However, now that this incident is over, it seems that offending this alchemist is a foregone conclusion.
In any case, over the years, the number of people who can damage the dantian is limited, and it is possible that it will not even be the Tu family's turn. Their family has always had good fortune.
Thinking of this, he put on a stern face and said to Shi Xuan, "When I got the ticket, I said that the spirit stones I paid would be returned to me after the auction. Now that the auction is over, it's time to return the spirit stones."
Shi Xuan glanced at Tu Yecheng and his men, and said casually, "You still want the deposit? Let me think about it. You injured someone at my auction, causing serious harm to my customers. Therefore, our affordable shop is compensating each customer with ten high-grade spirit stones."
You paid a total of one thousand high-grade spirit stones, while I had one hundred and nineteen guests besides you, so the compensation alone cost one thousand one hundred and ninety high-grade spirit stones. Therefore, you should give me another one hundred and ninety spirit stones. If you had left, that would have been fine, but since you've returned, let's settle the matter now!
