#981 - Chapter 981: Sucker
The five female disciples of逍遥 Peak gathered around a small jewelry stall.
"Ladies, take a look! My hairpins are the most beautiful!"
The old woman at the jewelry stall smiled kindly, calling out energetically in a soft voice, trying to attract the young women coming and going on the street.
Mu Qianqian looked at the various ornaments on the stall, feeling dazzled for a moment.
A silver lily hairpin, with gemstone-inlaid pearl flowers, stood out on the stall.
Mu Qianqian spotted the silver lily hairpin at a glance and reached out to pick it up.
Mu Qianqian put the hairpin on her head, turned her head with a smile, and showed it to Lin Yaoyao, who was next to her.
"Hey, Senior Sister, is this pretty? Doesn't it especially match my temperament?" Mu Qianqian was particularly satisfied with herself.
"Yeah." Lin Yaoyao just glanced at it calmly, then lowered her head again and continued to look at the ornaments on the stall.
"Eldest Senior Sister~ Your answer is so perfunctory!"
Mu Qianqian immediately lost interest, put down the silver lily hairpin, and continued to look at other ornaments.
Lin Yaoyao's pair of calm, sea-like eyes swept over the various ornaments on the stall, her gaze lingering in the center.
Lin Yaoyao stretched out a slender arm and picked up the hairpin that had caught her attention.
A white jade hairpin, shining brightly and translucently under the light, with a few faint milky white strands in the jade color, making it even more delicate, and several tassels hanging down, making a crisp sound as the wind blew.
Lin Yaoyao stared at the hairpin, feeling a strange sense of familiarity, but she just couldn't remember where she had seen it.
"Eldest Senior Sister, how about this?" Mu Qianqian picked up another hairpin and asked Lin Yaoyao.
Not hearing Lin Yaoyao's reply, Mu Qianqian turned her head and found Lin Yaoyao staring at a white jade hairpin.
"Eldest Senior Sister?"
Mu Qianqian waved her hand in front of Lin Yaoyao, and Lin Yaoyao came back to her senses.
"Oh, Qianqian, what did you say?"
Mu Qianqian looked at the white jade hairpin in Lin Yaoyao's hand.
"Eldest Senior Sister, do you like this one?"
Lin Yaoyao immediately put down the hairpin in her hand and shook her head repeatedly.
"Eldest Senior Sister, this is pretty, and it looks great on you!"
Lin Yaoyao and Mu Qianqian turned around, and a slender figure stood behind them, with his hands clasped behind his back. Next to the figure stood other people.
The man who spoke was wearing a treasure-blue brocade robe with wide sleeves and flowing clouds, and a few strands of green hair hung down from his temples, partially concealing his perfect face.
Ye Kong frowned, sensing a different aura with his divine sense in the rear. He turned his head to look forward and saw five men standing in front of his female disciples.
Lin Yaoyao sensed that the five people in front of her had extraordinary auras. She could sense that the four people beside them were in the late Yuanying stage, but she couldn't sense the cultivation level of the man in the middle with her divine sense.
"Who are you?" Mu Qianqian looked at the five unfriendly people and asked cautiously.
"Oh, ladies, don't misunderstand. We are just people who came to this Guyuan City for sightseeing."
"Just now, I saw this lady hesitating whether to buy this white jade hairpin. I just think that the lady has a beautiful face and a cold temperament, just like a lotus flower, fresh and refined. So, there is no need for this white jade hairpin to decorate it."
The man put forward his point of view.
Lin Yaoyao looked up and down at the man in front of her. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and her gaze lingered for a moment on a blood-drop-shaped jade pendant hanging on the man's waist before moving away.
Why can't I sense his cultivation level? Could it be…
Seeing Lin Yaoyao staring at him, the man thought he had offended them, so he immediately activated the Evil Source of All Things and paid with spirit stones.
"Ladies, you don't have to mind my unintentional words. If I have offended the ladies just now, I am willing to apologize," the man cupped his fist with a sincere face.
Lin Yaoyao didn't speak, and Mu Qianqian said.
"How will you apologize?"
"I will pay for the ornaments you ladies have chosen, which can be regarded as an apology to you ladies."
The man was polite and well-mannered, like a noble son.
Ye Hongxue and others behind Lin Yaoyao turned around immediately when they heard that someone was paying with spirit stones, staring at the rich man with bright eyes.
Mu Qianqian whispered to Ye Hongxue.
"This person is probably a rich man. Let's take the opportunity to extort him."
Ye Hongxue and Mu Qianqian had been in the same sect for a long time and knew what Mu Qianqian meant, so she asked again.
"Is this true?"
"It's true!" The rich man straightened his back and replied.
"Absolutely true?" Feng Qingqing poked her head out and asked.
"A gentleman's word is as good as a bronze tripod!" The rich man affirmed once again.
Ye Hongxue, Feng Qingqing, and Ye Qingjun turned around and prepared to pack up all the ornaments on the stall and take them away.
"Wait!"
With a loud voice, Ye Hongxue and the other two stopped their movements.
The confronting crowd looked over in the direction of the voice.
Bai Wuchen walked to the middle of the rich man and Lin Yaoyao, turned sideways, and took a step closer to the rich man, narrowing the distance between the two.
The people around the rich man, seeing Bai Wuchen approaching the rich man, were afraid that Bai Wuchen had intentions, so they prepared to take action. The rich man raised his hand to signal the others not to interfere, and the people around the rich man stopped their movements.
"This brother, may I ask what's the matter?"
The rich man had a smile on his face from beginning to end, and his eyes were gentle, giving people the feeling that he was harmless.
"We don't need you to pay for these spirit stones, we'll pay for them ourselves!"
Bai Wuchen took out the small cloth bag containing all his spirit stones, and threw it back casually without looking back. Seeing this, Mu Qianqian reached out and caught it.
"Buy whatever you want, I'll pay for the spirit stones! We can't let those with ulterior motives take the opportunity to approach you," Bai Wuchen domineeringly defended his fellow female disciples.
The corners of the mouths of the five people behind him twitched one by one as they watched Bai Wuchen pretending to be a big spender. The five people looked at Bai Wuchen with the feeling of looking at the stupid son of a landlord who was wasting his family's wealth.
"Third Senior Sister, we can't let this Second Senior Brother stop our spirit stone payment machine!" Ye Qingjun said.
Feng Qingqing immediately understood, took two steps forward, and reached out to grab Bai Wuchen's left ear.
"Ah~ Ah!" Bai Wuchen made a useless howl.
"Shut up!"
I'll beat you up again when we get back to逍遥 Peak.
Feng Qingqing grabbed Bai Wuchen's ear and left the jewelry stall.
"Hehe, hehe, this rich man, um, no."
Mu Qianqian misspoke for a moment and immediately changed her words.
"Young master~ That silly big guy is a stupid brother in my family with impaired intelligence. He probably forgot to take his medicine today, so he pretended to be fat to fill his face. I really made you laugh."
