No abstraction, no cultivation

Chapter 122 Strange Cards

"What the hell, what kind of tea table is this? You want me to pay you eighty taels of silver! This is a shady shop, a shady shop!" Zi Geng walked out of the Yipintang Teahouse and started cursing at it.

He just slapped a tea table and left a palm print, but he had to pay eighty taels of silver!
Eighty taels of silver could buy half a mountain of wood.

"People say that this is an ancient sandalwood that is two or three thousand years old. Even if it is used to refine weapons, it will be worth more than a few hundred silver coins. Let's go, let's go!" Xu Shun said.

If you destroy someone else's things, you must compensate for it.

He wanted Zigeng to pull him away, but he failed.

His cultivation level is far inferior to Zi Geng's.

"Junior brother, you are Jiwei, you have to stand up for me! I am a cultivator from the Qinghua Sect, and I was ripped off by a black shop in the Qingyun Market! This is outrageous!" Zi Geng felt sorry for Qingyin.

After much difficulty in defrauding dozens of taels of silver, he ended up throwing it all away.

"What are you arguing about! Disciples of our sect are committing an even greater crime by causing trouble without reason in Qingyun Market. Don't you know that?" A cold voice came from the rooftop of the teahouse.

Xu Shun thought the name sounded familiar, and when he looked up, it was Zi Chai.

Zi Chai sat on the highest eaves of the teahouse, holding a pot of hot tea in her hand, with her cold and beautiful face, overlooking the two men below.

She was wearing a purple Taoist robe.

The Taoist robe fluttered in the wind, and she seemed to be flying with the wind as well.

"Is there such a rule?" Zi Geng said in a low voice.

"I've only been here for a short time, how would I know?" Xu Shun said as a matter of course.

"..."

Now it was Zi Geng's turn to be speechless. He felt that Xu Shun must have known it but didn't say it.

Fortunately, who is he?
He is the direct descendant of Didi’s boss who has been driving for more than 20 years!
I have seen all the big things in the world.

He cleared his throat, straightened his clothes, and bowed slowly, like a young man from a wealthy family, and said gracefully: "I didn't know that Junior Sister Zichai was here. It's really rude. We'll leave now!"

"Goodbye!" Xu Shun also bowed to Zichai.

Zichai didn't say anything, but instead waved her hand and threw two jade cards.

There are only four words on the jade plaque: "Yipin Tea House".

"Next time you come for tea, you can get a 20% discount with this voucher!" Zichai still had that cold voice, but there was a hint of warmth in her voice.

"Is it okay this time?" Zi Geng immediately rushed to ask, completely losing his previous demeanor.

An 80% discount on eighty taels is not a small amount!
"..."

Zichai ignored Zigeng and continued to sit on the eaves, looking at the clouds in the sky, drinking tea in her hand, not knowing what she was thinking.

The two looked at each other and turned away.

When they returned to Xu Shun's residence, Zi Geng suddenly remembered and said, "It is said that Junior Sister Zi Chai's dowry included a half-block house deed."

"How much? No way!" Xu Shun was stunned.

There are three blocks in Qingyun Market, and he knows exactly how much half a block is.

It was precisely because he knew it clearly that he felt shocked.

That’s one-eighth of Qingyun Market!

"No mistake! Junior Brother, what do you think of me?" Zi Geng tidied up his appearance and said, "Just now, Junior Sister Zi Chai and I hit it off right away. Her voice and appearance have fallen into my heart and I will never forget her!"

“Is this what love feels like?”

Xu Shun couldn't help but ask, "Are you in love?"

"You are just coveting someone else's dowry!"

“Vile!”

"Hey! Junior brother, you don't understand!" Zi Geng shook his head and said, "This is love! Love is stronger than gold, love is stronger than gold, the ancients were not deceiving me!"

Is this what "love is stronger than gold" means? "Oh, yes, you're right!" Xu Shun was too lazy to pay attention to Zi Geng.

"No, look at this."

He took out a jade playing card from his locker.

There’s a three of hearts on it!

This was another reason why he was looking for Zi Geng, a jade playing card that suddenly appeared on his bedside table.

No one knew who put it there, nor how it appeared, but it suddenly appeared at the head of Xu Shun's bed.

The jade playing cards were extremely hard and could not be stored in the mustard seed space, which made Xu Shun quite confused.

Purple Stem is a bit wild, maybe he knows something.

"You said... this card suddenly appeared on your bedside?" Zi Geng was stunned when he saw the card and said seriously.

"Correct!"

"Silently, just so suddenly?" he said again.

"Correct!"

He also took out a jade poker from his arms, which was the same material and size as the one in Xu Shun's hand.

It was the nine of clubs.

"I have one too." Zi Geng said seriously, "I thought my master was warning me to play less cards!"

"Is this how your master always scolds you?" Xu Shun said.

"My master is so creative that sometimes I don't know what he is thinking!" Zi Geng gestured with two jade playing cards in his hand and continued:
"I was also at Qingyun Market on the day the jade token appeared. I managed to win over a few junior brothers and played a few rounds of cards. Just as I was about to set off, the jade token appeared in the shuttle."

"I didn't think much of it at the time. I thought it was my master passing by and giving me a knock."

“Now that I think about it, there is indeed a problem.”

"How did the jade pendant appear? What is its purpose?" Zi Geng was very confused. He had never encountered such a situation before.

If Xu Shun hadn't taken out the Three of Hearts, he would have really thought that the jade poker was a warning from his master.

If it wasn't his master, then who was it?
He took two jade playing cards and knocked them against each other, making a crisp sound, and then put the jade playing cards together.

They fit perfectly and are all the same size, it’s a deck of cards!

"That's strange! We need to think about this matter carefully." Zi Geng said with a frown.

Xu Shun also nodded and said, "Indeed, I'll leave this matter to you, Senior Brother!"

"Well! This is very interesting! The material is also very interesting!" Zi Geng took out a small hammer and tapped the jade poker gently. He saw that the jade poker did not deform or bounce back, but just made a crisp sound.

"Wait until I take this card to my refining furnace and refine it, and you'll know!" Zi Geng said with interest.

For a person who refines equipment, he has to refine everything first before he knows what it is.

"Then I'll see you off, Senior Brother Zigeng!" Xu Shun was about to clear Zigeng out of his courtyard.

He still has homework to do later!
"What's the matter? Now that everything has been explained, you don't even want to invite me to dinner?" Zi Geng said.

"Didn't I just invite you to have tea?" Xu Shun said.

"That's the silver I paid! That's the silver I paid!" Zi Geng said loudly, "Eighty taels of silver!"

"...That's fine!" Xu Shun said indifferently, "Just in the office cafeteria!"

"Anything works!"

After eating and drinking, Xu Shun sent Zi Geng away and returned to his residence.

He pushed open his small door and keenly noticed that there was a jade plaque at the head of his bed.

A three of hearts.

It’s exactly the same as the one Zigeng took away just now!
