Misty Rain of the Old Times

Chapter 254 One dares to sell and the other dares to buy

With the arrival of Haisha from Dongdao Tower, the five major sects of Jingguo Jianghu are now all present. This kind of scene is rare, as the five major sects are rarely seen together throughout the year.

Especially since the core figures of various factions gathered together, it was such a grand occasion that many people, even if they only admired their style from afar and did not even have the qualifications to get close to them and get to know them, still said that the trip was worthwhile.

Haisha, a burly man in his fifties with a heroic countenance and a long sword in hand, exchanged pleasantries with Jueruo and the others. Then, he surveyed his surroundings in surprise and said, "Master, Taoist Priest, Brother Ye, Brother Guo, and Lady Qin, you came first. I seem to have missed something."

He saw the injured Ling Yun, Duan Nie's headless body, the messy scene, and the residual aura of the collision of innate true qi, so he asked this question.

Guo Sihai and Qin Feihong were also confused when they heard this. Although they arrived first, they didn't have time to ask.

"Infinite World Honored One, there is something you may not know, but this is what happened..." Master Jueruo chanted the Buddha's name and recounted what had happened before.

After hearing the description, the people who came later frowned, especially Guo Sihai and Qin Feihong, who reacted most strongly.

He himself had a young daughter, whom he treasured dearly. He held her in his hands for fear of dropping her, and held her in his mouth for fear of her melting. Therefore, Guo Sihai was particularly indignant at this kind of behavior of humiliating a woman. He snorted coldly, "Duan Nie's death is not a pity. If the master hadn't eliminated him in advance, he would have been in a dilemma of life and death if I had met him."

"Yes, this man is extremely shameless. He wishes he had come earlier, otherwise he would not have the room to be so arrogant," Qin Feihong said with disgust. Their Feiyu Sect is mostly composed of women, and they cannot stand such despicable behavior.

Sha Hai snorted coldly, "Damn it, if I had known something like this would happen, I wouldn't have been drinking on the road. That damn Duan Nie didn't meet me, otherwise, even if he didn't do that last night, I would have killed that bastard if I saw him."

It can be heard that this person also hates evil.

Fortunately, Duan Nie died early, otherwise he would have known that the several innate masters who came later were eager to get rid of him as soon as possible. I wonder how he would feel.

Regardless, the matter has passed. It's a pity for Ning Zuiyue, such a good girl is gone just like that...

On the sand dunes, Chen Xuan was busy preparing breakfast while paying attention to his surroundings, especially the group of innate masters. Listening to people chatting, he got a lot of news from the martial arts world.

The place where he was located was quite remote, as he had arrived late yesterday. However, because he had gained some attention in the morning, some people still paid attention to him occasionally.

Especially his unique barbecue aroma drifted in the wind, arousing the appetite of many people and attracting frequent attention. It was estimated that because he now had the support of Ling Yun, the innate master, the incident of stealing his barbecue yesterday did not happen.

An injured Xiantian is still a Xiantian, and no ordinary person would dare to offend those related to him easily.

He was eating barbecue, biting into bread, and eating some fruits. He looked so leisurely that many people were laughing and crying. Are you a wanderer or just out for fun?
After a while, the atmosphere around became much more heated. Chen Xuan looked up and saw that it was Guo Sihai's daughter who was running towards him, and her target was exactly in his direction.

Beside Guo Qingxue were two women in their twenties, whose internal strength cultivation was also quite good. People came to greet them wherever they passed by. People from Hanshan Sword Sect, especially Guo Sihai's daughter, would all give them face. If Guo Qingxue could respond with even a few words, they would be very proud.

"She's coming straight towards me. Could she be attracted by the aroma of barbecue?" Chen Xuan was surprised when he noticed the direction of Guo Qingxue's movements.

He thought that this barbecue was not a delicious dish. At most, it was added with chili and other seasonings, and the taste was a bit strong. It was really hard to say that it was delicious. He was very self-aware of his cooking skills.

But on second thought, it seems normal for children to be greedy. In some vague memories, I used to be unable to walk when I smelled something delicious on the street.

In this case, it is not difficult to understand why Guo Qingxue came here.

Looking around, there was a large group of wandering people, all of them had only dry food and water to make do. Even if someone made a fire, it was just to bake some cakes and steamed buns. There were also quite a few who were grilling meat, but none of them used heavy spices like Chen Xuan did.

In this comparison, he stands out.

Guo Qingxue, who was in her teens, was still very innocent. Even as a child of the Jianghu, she had not yet been tainted by the secular world. She came a few meters away from Chen Xuan, saluted formally, and said in a clear voice, "Excuse me, uncle. May I ask your name? I am Guo Qingxue of the Hanshan Sword Sect. I apologize for disturbing you."

It must be said that he is worthy of being from a big sect. Although he is still very young, his etiquette is remarkable. He is also in line with the straightforwardness of people in the martial arts world, without too many twists and turns.

However, when she was talking to Chen Xuan, her eyes were fixed on his barbecue. She smelled the aroma so close to her and swallowed her saliva secretly, feeling very greedy.

As the darling of the Hanshan Sword Sect, when had she ever seen such heavy-tasting food?

Chen Xuan felt both amused and annoyed. She was really attracted by the barbecue. She was a naive "lady of noble family". You took her to eat street food and it became a reality.

What made him laugh even more was that the other party actually called him uncle, even though they were obviously not much older than each other.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chen Xuan smiled inwardly, but still stood up and returned the greeting, saying, "Ms. Guo, I'm not worthy of your name in person. My name is Yang Guo. I wonder if there is anything you can advise me for?" Chen Xuan had considerable experience in dealing with children. He knew that it was right to not beat around the bush and to just go with the other person's lead.

Of course, the way of speaking to children of different identities should be different. Anyway, for someone like Guo Qingxue, if you use the methods of people in the underworld and praise her a little, she will definitely be happy.

As expected, the child couldn't keep secrets. She immediately smiled and couldn't wait to reveal her purpose: "I don't deserve your advice, but I just want to ask Uncle Yang, what are you eating? It smells so good. Is it delicious?"

You obviously want to eat it, right? Why are you still pretending to be beating around the bush?

Feeling playful, Chen Xuan bent down and picked up a skewer of barbecued meat spread on oil paper. Under Guo Qingxue's eager gaze, he took a bite, chewed it twice, and replied, "Barbecue, with strong spices and a spicy taste, but it tastes okay."

As he said this, he took another bite.

Guo Qingxue swallowed quietly, a little dumbfounded. This was different from what she thought. Shouldn't the other party politely hand her a string for her to try after she asked?
Everyone around who was paying attention to this situation found it funny and could see that Chen Xuan was teasing her.

But many people also admire Chen Xuan very much. If it were them, they would definitely not have the courage to do such a thing.

Although it is a famous and powerful sect, it does not use its power to bully others. As a righteous sect in the martial arts world, it still has to be reasonable in public.

While Guo Qingxue was slightly at a loss, a woman beside her smiled and said, "Excuse me, Young Master Yang. I am young and straightforward. I hope you will bear with me."

Look, this is a famous and powerful sect. They speak in a nice way, and their implication is to coax people, but they say it in a tactful way.

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "I apologize for the inconvenience." He then looked at Guo Qingxue and asked, "Miss Guo, would you like to taste this humble food of mine?"

"Is it okay?" Guo Qingxue's eyes lit up and she nodded quickly.

Then Chen Xuan pondered for a moment, then said something that stunned many people around him. He said embarrassedly, "Of course no problem. Three taels of silver per string. How much do you want?"

His skewer is a piece of grilled meat, cut into small pieces, weighing about three or two taels.

Guo Qingxue didn't seem to mind hearing this, but instead turned her head eagerly to look at the woman who was talking to Chen Xuan and said, "Senior Sister..."

The little boy looked so pitiful, almost saying that he wanted to eat.

Her sister didn't think Chen Xuan was deliberately making things difficult for her. Instead, she found it amusing. She covered her mouth with a smile, took out some silver from her purse and handed it over, saying, "Then please, Young Master Yang, give me a bunch of them so that I can try them. Remember to give me the change."

Chen Xuan secretly thought that it was a great honor. Look, this is what a reputable and upright family is. Although it seems that they have no concept of money, they still know how to make money. Well, they know how to make a living.

So he quickly took the silver, about five taels, put it in his purse, took out two taels of change, then picked up a skewer of barbecue and handed it to the eager Guo Qingxue, saying, "Here, Miss Guo, take it and try it. It's still hot, be careful of the burn."

"Yeah, thank you very much," Guo Qingxue took the barbecue and said thank you without forgetting, then took a bite impatiently, chewing with her little mouth full of surprise, even though it was so spicy that she made her tongue stick out and her little face flushed, she was reluctant to spit it out, instead she said vaguely that it was delicious.

The two women following her just looked at her with a smile on their faces and told her to eat slowly.

Although it's not advisable to eat food from strangers when you're out and about, would Chen Xuan dare to poison her in public? Besides, there were a bunch of innate masters nearby. Even if the poison was real, as long as it wasn't the kind that would kill her instantly, they could save her.

After eating two bites of the barbecue, Guo Qingxue took the rest in her hand and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. Then she waved the barbecue at Chen Xuan and said with a smile: "Young Master Yang Guo, you sold me three taels of silver for a skewer of barbecue. I will remember you. But it's really delicious. I'll give it to my father to try too. Goodbye."

After saying that, she looked at Chen Xuan deeply, and then left with a happy mood.

Looking at their backs, Chen Xuan thought to himself that the little girl understood what was going on, but just didn't take it to heart. Maybe she would be more careful next time she encountered such a situation.

Tsk, the image I created is quite attractive. Look, the girl said she remembered me after just meeting me once. No matter what the reason is, she said that anyway.

On the other side, Liang Ren, who was following Zhao Qingluan, witnessed all this and felt immediately balanced. He also had an inexplicable feeling that he had made a profit. Miss Guo spent three taels of silver to buy the barbecue, and he was lucky enough to taste it, so it seemed that he had not lost out.

Guo Sihai, who was also paying attention to all this, turned around and said to the others: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all."
