#982 - Chapter 982: Understand in Seconds
“Oh, I see.” The wealthy man looked sympathetic.
Mu Qianqian saw Ye Hongxue and Ye Qingjun behind her, staring with wide eyes, eager to watch the drama unfold.
Mu Qianqian pretended to turn around, taking the opportunity to signal Ye Hongxue and Ye Qingjun with her eyes.
A single look, unspoken, conveyed the meaning.
Ye Hongxue and Ye Qingjun understood Mu Qianqian's look instantly, and immediately turned around. The two of them, with four hands, stuffed everything from the stall into their storage bags.
The other Xiaoyao Peak disciples were playing Pitch-pot, while Ji Changsheng happened to see Bai Wuchen being led by the ear by Feng Qingqing.
“Hey, Second Senior Brother and Third Senior Sister.”
“Hey, never mind them, let’s play our game. We’ll find them later to meet up.”
Chen Haoran directly pulled Ji Changsheng's gaze back.
Ye Kong had been watching the wealthy man and the others from the crowd.
Before long, Ye Hongxue and Ye Qingjun had swept the jewelry stall clean.
Mu Qianqian, noticing out of the corner of her eye that Ye Hongxue and Ye Qingjun had taken everything from the stall, immediately smiled brightly at the wealthy man.
“Heh heh heh heh~ Young Master, it’s getting late, and I don’t know if my silly older brother at home has taken his medicine yet. We won’t delay your enjoyment. Oh, and thank you, Young Master, for paying with spirit stones~ Farewell!”
Mu Qianqian pulled Lin Yaoyao and ran towards the crowded area, with Ye Hongxue and Ye Qingjun close behind.
Leaving only the wealthy man, the sucker, behind.
Watching their figures gradually disappear, a cold and ruthless look flashed in the wealthy man's eyes, before immediately returning to normal.
Ye Kong narrowed his eyes, noticing the fleeting coldness in the wealthy man's eyes.
The wealthy man waved his hand, and the person beside him immediately came forward and gave the old woman at the stall a large bag of spirit stones.
“Thank you, kind sir! Thank you, thank you.” The old woman held the large bag of spirit stones, thanking him profusely.
The wealthy man then turned and walked in the opposite direction of Ye Kong.
And just as the wealthy man turned around, his expression was arrogant, a hint of contempt faintly revealed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curved into a slightly evil smile.
“Interesting~”
Ye Kong didn't notice what happened after the wealthy man turned around, only faintly feeling that this person was not as simple as he seemed!
Mu Qianqian pulled Lin Yaoyao into a small alley, where Feng Qingqing and Bai Wuchen were waiting, with Ye Hongxue and Ye Qingjun following closely behind.
As soon as Mu Qianqian entered, she slapped Bai Wuchen on the head.
“Are you stupid! You didn't want the obvious spirit stones and insisted on taking out your own.”
“I was just being kind. I thought those lecherous people were making things difficult for you, so I went up to help you out. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been willing to part with my little treasure! It's like biting the hand that feeds you.”
Mu Qianqian took out Bai Wuchen's small cloth bag and threw it hard at Bai Wuchen.
“Take it, your little treasure. If it weren't for this little cloth bag, I would have thought I had nothing on me!” Mu Qianqian directly insinuated about Bai Wuchen.
Bai Wuchen could only carefully put away his precious little cloth bag.
“Hey! Senior Sister, this one is pretty. This one is for you.”
“This one is also good, Junior Sister, for you.”
The four of them quickly divided the freebies, while Lin Yaoyao was still thinking about the blood droplet-shaped jade pendant on the wealthy man.
Mu Qianqian found the white jade hairpin among the pile of jewelry and stuffed it into Lin Yaoyao's hand.
The sudden cold feeling in Lin Yaoyao's hand interrupted her thoughts.
After the four of them finished dividing the freebies, they looked satisfied.
“Is this okay with you guys?”
Bai Wuchen seemed to have witnessed a scene of bandits dividing their loot.
“This is what we got with our beauty and intelligence, what do you know, you big fool.”
“Fourth Junior Brother took them to play Pitch-pot. Master should be with them, right?”
Bai Wuchen had just seen Lin Yaoyao and the others being harassed from the Pitch-pot area, so he went over without knowing the truth and acted like a big fool.
“Let's go, let’s go find them.” Ye Hongxue took a step, about to leave.
“Wait!”
With a wave of her hand, Lin Yaoyao instantly conjured up several opera masks.
“Everyone, put them on.”
Although Lin Yaoyao didn't explain, the others knew what she meant and put on the masks one after another.
The group walked out of the alley. After wearing the masks, fewer people paid attention to them.
There were many stalls selling various masks in Guyuan City, and many people wore them after buying them, so when passersby saw people wearing masks, they didn't pay much attention.
No one could guess what kind of face was behind the mask.
Lin Yaoyao and her group arrived at the Pitch-pot stall.
“Senior Brother, you are so amazing, you hit it again!”
Mu Qianqian heard Ji Changsheng's voice from a long distance.
The group followed the sound, and Mu Qianqian came behind Ye Xiaoyao and patted the smug Ye Xiaoyao.
Ye Xiaoyao turned around and saw six people wearing masks. Ye Xiaoyao immediately became vigilant.
“Who are you?”
The attire of Mu Qianqian and the others was the same as that of most women in Guyuan City. Everyone wore masks to hide their true faces, and Ye Xiaoyao couldn't recognize the people in front of him based on their clothes alone.
At this time, Lin Yaoyao activated her true essence and transmitted a message to Ye Xiaoyao with her divine sense.
“I am Lin Yaoyao, it's time to leave, don't stay here too long!”
Ye Xiaoyao received Lin Yaoyao's divine sense transmission, and greeted the others, following Lin Yaoyao and the others to leave together.
“Eldest Senior Sister, why do you want to wear masks?” Ye Xiaoyao communicated with Lin Yaoyao using his divine sense.
“We just scammed a big sucker, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, we are wearing masks to hide our true faces.” Without waiting for Lin Yaoyao to answer, Feng Qingqing replied from the side.
“A big sucker? Who?” Chen Haoran heard their divine sense conversation, and curiosity prompted him to want to know who was so unlucky.
“We’ll talk about it when we get back.” Ye Qingjun interrupted.
Everyone knew that there were many people and it was chaotic in Guyuan City, so it was safer to talk about it back at Xiaoyao Peak.
“By the way, where did Master go?”
Lin Yaoyao looked around, but didn't see that familiar figure in the crowd.
“I don't know? Master was just behind us watching us, we haven't seen Master since we saw you.”
Xingchen Lan noticed that Ye Kong had been watching them play Pitch-pot all along.
Master is gone!!
Everyone reacted, looked at each other, and prepared to split up to find Ye Kong.
