#416 - Chapter 415: Destroy Tongtian Sect Leader’s stall first!

The sky was bright!

The two got up and went out.

Zhao Ling'er's face was slightly flushed as she held hands with Chu Tianran.

He felt so happy today!

"I'll take you around the capital. I have a teacher named Zhao Gongming. He's a very powerful Taoist. He taught me a lot when I was little. And he can also tell fortunes, but I don't know if he's still around..."

"Don't you need to hide your identity or anything?"

"No need. He's a friend of my parents. He gave me my name when I was a child. My dad took two of the characters to make 'Tianran'. He's a very trustworthy person. Besides, I think the three-year deadline is only a few days away, so it shouldn't be a problem."

"Should we call Jiubao?"

"Sure. Hey, why didn't Jiubao call us today?"

The two arrived at Jiubao's room.

They knocked on the door, and soon there was movement inside.

"What's wrong?"

"Jiubao, what are you doing? You didn't even come to call us today?"

"I thought you guys might be sleeping. Besides, a Taoist gave me a book yesterday—oh no, I bought it, spent fifty taels of silver. He said I can't return it..."

Chu Tianran's expression changed!

"Isn't that a swindler then!"

"Take me to find that Taoist. We'll help you get your money back!"

Jiubao scratched his head: "I don't think it's necessary. That Taoist said he had a karmic connection with me, that's why he took my money..."

Zhao Ling'er slapped him on the head, angrily saying: "You believe him even when he's swindling you? Fifty taels of silver! That's enough to buy so many books! Where's that book!"

Jiubao clutched his head, took out the book, and handed it over. Zhao Ling'er was immediately displeased when she saw the material of the book!

"What a piece of junk! This paper is expensive even if you buy it for five taels of silver!"

"Let's go find that Taoist and settle the score!"

"I think we should forget it. He doesn't seem to be having an easy time..."

"You're at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, the highest realm of cultivation in the world, and you can still be swindled? Idiot!"

Chu Tianran directly grabbed Jiubao and walked out.

"Lead the way!"

Soon, Jiubao was forced by the two to the outside of an alley on the street.

"It's here. I don't think it's necessary to get the money back. He must not be having an easy time, and we're not short of money anyway. Besides, he seemed quite amiable. If you really can't stand it, you can help me scold them."

Zhao Ling'er glared at Jiubao with an expression that said she hated that he was hopeless!

"You're just stupid, still saying you don't want the money back! Why else would we come here!"

"Tell me who it is. If he doesn't give us the money, I'll beat him to death!"

"I think the content of the book is pretty good. It seems to be about Buddhism, it feels very profound. I originally wanted Tianran to help me take a look..."

"Why don't you let Tianran take a look first? If he doesn't think it's good, we'll get the money back, okay?"

Chu Tianran pondered for a moment and took it.

"Then I'll take a look..."

But as soon as he opened the book, he was attracted.

Hey, this book isn't simple...

"Sure enough, it's Buddhism, Jiubao, you've struck gold! I'll help you explain it later and you'll understand. It'll be very helpful to you. Wait, where's Ling'er?"

"Is that the Taoist in black!"

Zhao Ling'er saw the person directly and went forward without saying a word!

Just as Tongtian Jiaozhu set up his stall, he saw a girl coming forward and kicking his stall over!

"You stinky Taoist, return the money!"

"Selling a piece of junk book to my friend for fifty taels of silver, are you crazy!"

Chu Tianran was stunned when he saw the stall owner!

"Ling'er, don't hit him! That's my teacher!"

However, Zhao Ling'er didn't hear him at all, grabbed Tongtian Jiaozhu by the collar!

"Return the money! Otherwise, I'll overturn your stall!"

"Haven't... haven't you already overturned my stall...?"

"If you don't return the money, I'll overturn your house!"

"Why don't you listen to what the person behind you is saying before you decide?"

"Ling'er, let go! This is the friend of my dad I told you about, also my teacher. He taught me a lot when I was little. He gave me my name!"

Zhao Ling'er was stunned, instantly embarrassed, hurriedly let go and helped clean up the stall.

Chu Tianran was extremely embarrassed and hurriedly made a Taoist salute.

"Teacher, it's my fault. I didn't explain it clearly to her. She thought you cheated my friend out of his money..."

Tongtian Jiaozhu looked at Jiubao.

"It's you, little monk?"

He said expressionlessly, indifferently: "Did I cheat you out of your money?"

Jiubao immediately shook his head!

"Tianran said what you wrote makes a lot of sense, so you definitely didn't. Actually, I didn't want to come, but Zhao Ling'er insisted..."

Zhao Ling'er glared at Jiubao angrily!

You still dare to say it!

This is so embarrassing!

Chu Tianran also helped to clean up. Taohong happened to come out and was immediately stunned by this scene.

"Gongming! Why is your stall smashed!"

"Which damned... eh?"

Taohong suddenly paused, looking at the unusually familiar young man in front of her, thinking for a long time in her mind.

"It seems I've seen you somewhere, seen you, you are you are..."

She immediately scratched her head, unable to remember after thinking for a long time. Chu Tianran helplessly said: "Teacher's wife, I am Chu Tianran, my dad is Chu Ning..."

"太子 (Crown Prince)!"

"Silence, don't talk nonsense. How could the Crown Prince be here?"

Tongtian Jiaozhu immediately spoke, signaling with a look, and Taohong immediately understood!

There are too many people around, so you can't easily show your identity, right!

But this is the imperial city, the Crown Prince is traveling incognito... Hmm...

It seems he really shouldn't be exposed!

"Then shouldn't I kowtow or something...?"

"And perform a grand salute, but why don't you kowtow?"

Tongtian Jiaozhu said helplessly: "I and His Majesty and the Emperor are old acquaintances, consider me half his teacher, you are half his teacher's wife, why would you kowtow to him?"

Taohong then slapped her forehead: "Oh right, that's the logic, but why haven't I seen the Crown Prince... no, Tianran for three years?"

"And why did you overturn your teacher's stall! Your teacher relies on this to support his family, and you still overturn your teacher's stall!"

"It's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding..."

Zhao Ling'er's face was already red with embarrassment and she wanted to run away, but hearing the woman's words, she felt even more shocked.

He really seems to be... Then should I go back to the Mountain Villa of Asking?

Tongtian Jiaozhu sighed helplessly upon seeing this.

"It seems today's stall still can't be set up."

"Since you have cultivation, help this poor Taoist clean up the stall and take it home, we can talk slowly."
