Chapter 1331: Old acquaintance of lone cloud (1)
“Ask the shopkeeper to come out!” Xia qingchen spoke indifferently.
There was no such thing as absolute credibility in this world. If there was, it would just be greed that arose from the lack of benefits.
Who would not be tempted by such a huge blood serpent stone?
Seeing that Xia qingchen wasn’t willing to let go, he smiled and said, “”The shopkeeper’s identity is respected, so it’s inconvenient for him to go out. If young master doesn’t trust us, then you can find another place.”
The messenger said as he slowly retracted his hand.
He didn’t believe that the young man in front of him would give up. The full moon Pavilion was the fairest shop on the glittering jewel Island. It was honest with all customers.
If you miss this opportunity, you won’t have this opportunity.
“Then forget it.” Xia qingchen retracted his sword with an expressionless face, appearing extremely decisive.
There were many shops on glittering jewels Island. There were plenty of people who would buy such a huge and rare treasure. Why would he only sell it at the moonview restaurant?
The attendant’s expression changed. He glanced at the black stone that Xia qingchen had taken back. After hesitating for a moment, he didn’t urge Xia qingchen to stay. He smiled and said, “”Take care, guest!”
It wasn’t anything valuable anyway, so he would just leave if he wanted to.
Xia qingchen turned and walked down the steps, only to meet a group of people.
A few of the middle-aged men were surrounding an old man and reporting something in succession.
“Deputy shopkeeper, we’ve collected all the rental fees for the shops on North Seventh Street.” A middle-aged man held an account book in his hand and flipped through it for the old man to see as he walked.
The old man waved his hand. put it on my table. I’ll look through it at night.
He looked at the middle-aged man on his right. the Eagle gathering will be held in ten days. By then, there might be a large amount of lunar essence for sale. Be prepared to buy it.
“Yes!” The other middle-aged man said respectfully.
The old man was about to tell the third person about his job when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure passing by from the corner of his eye. He couldn’t help but take another look.
However, this glance caused the old man’s expression to change greatly.
He suddenly stopped in his tracks, and the people behind him were caught off guard and almost hit him.
They followed the old man’s gaze and saw Xia qingchen, who was dressed in plain clothes, walking away from them with his hands behind his back.
“Hey! Stop right there!” The middle-aged man with the account book in his hand observed Xia qingchen’s expression and immediately called out to him.
what’s the matter? ” Xia qingchen turned his head and looked over. is there something? ”
The middle-aged man pointed at Xia qingchen and beckoned with his finger. “You, come here!”
His attitude was condescending, and he spoke in a commanding tone.
However, as a middle-upper echelon of the moonview restaurant, it was normal for him to order around a young man on the island.
Ordinary people didn’t even have the chance to be ordered around by him.
“Impudent!” Unexpectedly, the old man’s expression turned sullen and he slapped the middle-aged man’s finger off. He angrily rebuked,”Who asked you to be so disrespectful to young master Xia?”
Ugh!
The middle-aged men were shocked, not by the so-called master Xia.
It was because the old man was the second manager of the moonview restaurant and had a distinguished status. He even had the backing of the Dongyuan Imperial Lord.
In the entire glittering jewel Island, few people were qualified to challenge him.
He was actually showing respect to a kid?
However, what caused them to be even more stunned and even more confused was that the old man took large steps forward and came before Xia qingchen. He bowed deeply and said, “”This old man’s eyes are bad, I almost didn’t recognize young master Xia’s arrival.”
Only then did Xia qingchen turn over with astonishment. He assessed the old man before him.”And you are?”
He really did not remember that he knew the old man in front of him.
The old man stood up and was stunned for a moment. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.”I … I’m Zhen nantian!”
Who was it?
Zhen nantian?
Xia qingchen surveyed him carefully and finally discovered that the old man before him had some of Zhen nantian’s divine aura. It was just that he seemed much younger than Zhen nantian back then.
“It’s really you!” Xia qingchen was surprised.
How could he forget the Old Hall master of the lone Cloud city’s divine Hall, Zhen nantian?
He had received his help many times, and to Xia qingchen who had just broken through, the help he provided couldn’t be considered small.
This was why Xia qingchen had given him a martial skill that specialized in healing martial meridians.
With a martial technique in hand, he went to search for a place with excellent essence energy. He did not expect to come to the Holy Land of martial arts, glittering jewel Island!
When the two met, they couldn’t help but feel a lot of emotions.
“Why did you come here?” Xia qingchen truly felt extremely shocked.
“It’s a long story,” Zhen nantian said excitedly.
Xia qingchen listened to him. After hearing it, he couldn’t help but sigh at how fate made a fool of him.
In the past, Zhen nantian had found a place to heal his injuries and met the injured Emperor Dongyuan. His injuries were also related to martial meridians.
Zhen nantian didn’t know his identity, but teaching him a healing martial skill had a good effect.
Out of gratitude, the Dongyuan Imperial Lord had brought him back to the glittering jewel Island and observed him closely.
With the abundant spiritual Qi of glittering jewel Island, not only did he recover his martial meridians early, but his cultivation had also been restored to its former state. No, it had far exceeded that of before.
He was already at the middle stage of the lesser moon.
If he was in the sky moon Ridge, he would definitely be a peerless expert.
“By the way, why are you here? Did Gu qianhen bring you here?” Zhen nantian held Xia qingchen’s arm and conversed with him excitedly.
Gu qianhen? ” Xia qingchen was startled. Gu qianhen? ”
Zhen nantian said,”that’s right!” I asked Gu qianhen to take you in as his disciple and bring you to the tomb of the human Emperor to further your studies. Didn’t he look for you?”
Upon hearing this, Xia qingchen came to a realization.
No wonder Gu qianhen had said that he was only here to take Xia qingchen as his disciple because someone asked him to.
At that time, he had wondered how he knew people from the tomb of the human Emperor.
It was Zhen nantian!
I did, but because of my own reasons, I politely refused. Xia qingchen didn’t tell him about the unpleasant experience he had with Gu qianhen.
Oh, I see. Zhen nantian suddenly understood. but how did you come to the island? ”
Xia qingchen briefly explained the reason. Zhen nantian stroked his beard and said, “”By relying on the power of mother’s family? Then you should be at the black iron level.”
Without thinking, he took out a small bag with 20 Black Moon coins. “Take it first, ask me if it’s not enough!”
Even if Zhen nantian’s status was extraordinary, he would still need half a year to save up to get twenty Black Moon coins.
He had taken them all out for Xia qingchen, and his sincerity could be seen.
“No need,” “If you really wish to help me, can you accept this stone?” Xia qingchen rejected.
Zhen nantian looked at the stone and frowned, “”Why, no one is taking you in?”
Xia qingchen felt helpless. it’s my first time on this Island. I don’t have any Black Moon coins on me. I’m not allowed to enter.
Upon hearing this, Zhen nantian couldn’t help but be enraged. He wanted to invite Xia qingchen, but he couldn’t even do so. Yet, his own people were stopping him from entering just for a Black Moon coin!
“Where’s the head shopkeeper?” Zhen nantian strode to the door and coldly looked at the few attendants.
Their bodies were stiff, and the smiles on their faces were extremely unnatural.
This was especially so for the attendant who was driving Xia qingchen away. His legs couldn’t help but tremble.”Reporting to the second shopkeeper, the head shopkeeper is currently busy with other matters.”
The moonview restaurant had a rule that all the items sent by the customers for sale must either be brought in or the head shopkeeper would come out personally.
In the end, Xia qingchen returned-handed. He was told to take his things and leave!
“This is outrageous!” Zhen nantian snorted.
The head shopkeeper was a lazy person, and it was not the first time something like this had happened.
It was just that his status was not as high as the head shopkeeper’s, so it was inconvenient for him to say anything. However, he did not expect the head shopkeeper to go from bad to worse.
He even chased Xia qingchen away! (Update at 12 O ‘clock tomorrow)
