As long as hard work was put in, there would be a chance.
The girl held her younger brother’s hands in excitement. The youth’s eyes were lit up. He swore to work hard to make something out of himself.
“Young master, we…”
The girl stopped mid-sentence again, as the long-faced man roared with laughter, “Haha, you don’t have to be so excited. This is what you deserve. Your brother’s talent is passable and enough to become a Miscellaneous Chores disciple, after that, it will all depend on him in the future. Old Luo…”
As the man spoke, he turned towards the fat shopkeeper, “It was not easy for this pair of siblings to get the rock. So take it in and pay them a hundred low-ranked relics from the books.”
The shopkeeper looked embarrassed when the long-faced man said those words, but he still accepted the order.
However, just as Old Luo was about to keep the mysterious rock, a hand pressed down lightly on the rock.
The fat shopkeeper was stunned and looked up, as he saw Yi Yun’s smiling face.
“What’s the meaning of this?”
The fat shopkeeper paused for a moment as he looked towards his boss. He was still unsure what Yi Yun’s relationship with his boss was.
However, from the long-faced man’s expression, he knew that Yi Yun was no friend of his boss.
“Nothing really. I am just interested in this rock and want to buy it. To be able to exchange this mysterious rock for a spot as a Miscellaneous Chores disciple and a hundred low-ranked desolate bone relics is such good business, so count me in too!”
The siblings were startled when they heard what Yi Yun said. They could read in between the lines.
The fat shopkeeper’s face sank as the long-faced man’s eyes emitted a cold gaze. This kid was here to mess things up. He had clearly already noticed something special about the mysterious rock.
“Who do you think you are? I was just courteous with you beforehand, and you are already crossing the line? Sales depends on a chronological order. Do you know what this place is?”
Moments ago, the long-faced man had already began to deride Yi Yun. He had already wasted his breath on a madman from the Southern Seas who claimed himself as Jiang Yidao. If not for the siblings suddenly appearing, he would have chased Yi Yun away.
Now this kid actually dared to leap onto a god’s head to make trouble. He was courting death!
“I know, it is merely a shop of the Li Fire Sect after all.”
Yi Yun said indifferently. His tone showed how little value the Li Fire Sect had in his eyes.
“After all? Hahaha! That’s so funny!” The long-faced man turned wrath into laughter. To think this Jiang Yidao was so arrogant despite knowing about the Li Fire Sect. People from the Southern Seas really had shallow world views.
“The ignorant are fearless. You savage from the Southern Seas with shallow world views. You may have heard of the Li Fire Sect, but you do not know how big the Li Fire Sect is. A tiny figure like you is not even considered an ant before the Li Fire Sect. Where did you get the courage to come here and cause trouble!?”
The savage lands in the Southern Seas was not much better than the Backwater East.
The young man in his twenties, who was standing behind the long-faced man, was stunned when he heard this. He originally thought Yi Yun was someone formidable. He never expected him to come from the savage lands in the Southern Seas. Then, he was not much better than them. In fact, in terms of where they originated from, he was inferior to them. Yi Yun was so generous likely because he had received a windfall and thought of himself as a rich man.
Upon coming to this conclusion, the young man felt discontented. Life was so unfair for such a savage to obtain such an opportunity. Why couldn’t he be the one to encounter a chance to become rich?
It was not easy for him to get the opportunity to cling onto the Li Fire Sect, but this savage had appeared to mess up the situation.
Upon saying this, the young man said, “Hey, you rascal from the Southern Seas, you might want to buy the rock, but I don’t want to sell!”
Just as he finished saying those words, the girl pulled him back, “Cousin, what are you doing!? This generous sir helped us before.”
“What do you mean help? Didn’t you not accept it?” The young man said without any care. He was still taking the city entrance fee to heart!
“You are mistaken. The rock is ours. It is not up to you!” At this moment, Ah Niu stood forward from the girl’s side and spoke up.
“You!” His cousin stared at him and became worried.
The long-faced man narrowed his eyes. He looked coldly at the youth named Ah Niu.
“Then who are you selling to?”
The long-faced man suddenly spoke. Yi Yun also looked towards Ah Niu.
Yi Yun appreciated this youth, but the choice was up to him. He was after all the owner of the mysterious rock. If he chose the Li Fire Sect, then Yi Yun would have nothing to say.
