Chapter 594 - 594 Scheming 2
594 Scheming 2
After one wave left, another wave came.
After three waves, Su Xiaolu and Gui You put away the stall. Su Xiaolu said loudly, “Everyone, we’ve used up three chances a day. We won’t accept any more challenges next. If anyone is unreasonable, don’t blame us if we don’t pay attention and injure someone. Next, we can enter the inn to receive people who have money to buy them. Whoever has money will be sold my spiritual herbs.”
“You can only enter the inn one person at a time. If you’re fated, you’ll pay 1,000 taels. If you’re not fated, you’ll pay 10,000 taels, we’ll only recognize money and not people. If you’re fated, even if you commit murder, arson, and evil deeds, I’ll still sell the spirit herbs. If you’re not fated, even if you’re a good person for ten lifetimes, I won’t take a single copper coin less from you.
We, master and disciple, like to hear the best good deeds in the world, and also the most vicious evils in the world. It’s fine as long as it’s your own experience.
We, master and disciple, will just be listeners. After hearing it, we’ll be happy and forget about it.”
Su Xiaolu said it heartily, making many people tempted.
Su Xiaolu and Gui You entered the inn and closed the door.
Outside, it was instantly extremely noisy.
It was noisy outside, and the inn was quiet. The ostentatious clamor had nothing to do with them.
“Master Gui You, do you think we will succeed?”
The heavy bait had been thrown, but Su Xiaolu was not very confident. If the other party did not take the bait, what should she do?
Capture that person’s child and beat him up? Make his internal injuries difficult to treat?
Gui You smiled. “Girl, even I would be tempted by such a game, let alone others. Human nature is greedy. Most of the bad ones are just impure.”
At this moment, there were natural mutations and superpowers everywhere. Who didn’t want a chance to activate their superpowers?
They would be willing to spend a lot of money to buy it.
Those who didn’t have money would take risks, openly and secretly. The better ones would come and steal.
That’s right, it was already good enough if he came to steal and not make a move.
“As long as they come.”
Su Xiaolu narrowed her eyes.
She had always been petty and protective. Little Niu was the Junior Brother she acknowledged, so he was the person she was protecting. After being bullied like this, she naturally had to avenge him.
Twelve years. It was hard to imagine how Uncle-Master Niu and Little Niu had endured these 12 years of hardship. Their fates were tough, and Uncle-Master Niu had also raised Little Niu to be a positive and warm person. There was no resentment or hatred. Why should they let others take the fruits of their 12 years of hard work for nothing?
Even if those hundred people’s tears of blessing were gone and she couldn’t get them back, she still wanted him to not be able to eat them. In the next twelve years, Little Niu would still have a hard time, so why should that person have a good life?
Gui You could not help but smile.
When Su Xiaolu saw this, she asked curiously, “Master Gui You, what are you laughing at?”
Gui You smiled and replied, “Looking at you reminds me of my youth. Master was also once young.”
Looking at Su Xiaolu, he thought of the same lineage. In terms of bone structure, Su Chong was the best genius, but in terms of fate, Su Xiaolu was still the one he liked the most.
Back then, when he first met her, he was still afraid that the little girl would not be able to withstand the pain of practicing martial arts. She was a little delicate, but after a few years, she had never disappointed him. Even though the little girl was delicate on the outside, she was more arrogant than anyone in her bones.
Su Xiaolu smiled. “Master must have been very glorious when he was young.”
Gui You smiled and did not answer.
There was glory, there was embarrassment, there was everything.
The commotion outside the inn had not stopped.
Su Xiaolu and Gui You waited quietly.
Outside the inn, people were discussing animatedly.
Some people said that this must be someone from the government who wanted to use such a method to capture criminals.
Some people said that no matter who they were, he had to give it a try. What if they actually obtained a spirit herb? Wouldn’t that be a huge profit?
Everyone clamored to give it a try, but no one went forward for a while.
“Excuse me, excuse me.”
At this moment, a carriage arrived. The driver of the carriage told the crowd to move aside.
“It’s a merchant’s carriage of Merchant Li…”
“The Li Family Head came personally. The Li Family is so rich, so they must be here for the spirit herb. He must want it for his eldest son. He fell off a horse and crippled his waist two years ago. This spirit herb should be able to treat him.”
“Excuse me, let’s take a look.”
People automatically stepped aside.
The carriage arrived in front of the inn. The curtain opened and a dignified middle-aged man alighted from the carriage. He looked at the crowd and raised his hand. Soon, a servant carried a wooden wheelchair out of the carriage and a cold-looking Li Yu appeared in front of everyone.
“Eldest Young Master Li is really crippled. He really can’t walk. It looks so serious.”
“Poor Eldest Young Master Li. He was young and promising, but he encountered trouble. Now, he’s a cripple. Even his marriage has been annulled.”
People were discussing what they had heard.
The Li Family Head frowned and scolded, “Shut up. If anyone dares to gossip again, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
“Father, there’s no need to be angry. What they said is just the truth.”
Li Yu said coldly. His tone was cold and expressionless. His cold face was like a mountain that was frozen all year round, making people feel distant and difficult to approach.
Li Zhengang glanced at Li Yu and suppressed his anger.
Li Yu looked at the tightly shut door of the inn and said in a deep voice, “Gentlemen, I’m Li Yu. I’m here to exchange stories for spirit herbs.”
“Please come in.”
As soon as Su Xiaolu finished speaking, the door was opened. A large stream of water surged out, wrapped around Li Yu, and swept him into the inn.
“Yu’er—”
Just as Li Zheng took a step forward, the inn door had already closed. It instantly froze into ice and emitted a cold aura.
He frowned and could only wait outside.
Li Yu looked at the water, which seemed to be alive, with a dark glint in his eyes.
He sat down steadily in front of Su Xiaolu and Gui You.
Hearing the door of the inn close, Li Yu was not in a hurry. He looked at Gui You and Su Xiaolu and greeted them with cupped fists. “Hello.”
“Hello, Young Master Li.”
Su Xiaolu nodded slightly and greeted him calmly.
Li Yu looked at the motionless Gui You and then at the lively Su Xiaolu. He said to Su Xiaolu, “I want to exchange a story for spiritual herbs. This is my story.
I’m Li Yu. I was born in Yulin county. My father is the biggest merchant in Yulin, and my mother’s family is an official family in Yulin. I have two uncles who are generals. My family has been rich since I was young, and I lived a happy life. I think I’m extraordinary. I’m good at martial arts and academics. I can get anything I want, including women. When I reached adulthood, I took fancy to a woman from an ordinary family and married her.
After the engagement, I brought her around to play, we played with birds, rode horses, read, and played the zither. I only wanted to be a happy couple with her. During the two years before we got married, she was very happy, and so was I. Two years ago, I went riding with her. The horse went crazy and threw her off. In order to save her, I jumped off the horse. I hugged her and rolled down the hill. My back hit a rock and I couldn’t stand up again. My lower limbs were weak, and she only suffered some light injuries.”
Li Yu paused.
