Martial Universe: Starting with Lin Langtian, who crippled Lin Dong's father.

Chapter 19 Purple Moon

On the streets of Yan City.

Two men wandered aimlessly, chatting idly.

"Brother Zi, you flatter me. I don't deserve the title of a prodigy. The Great Yan Dynasty is too small. If I only seek to rule here, how am I any different from a frog in a well?"

Lin Langtian spoke calmly, while casually observing the lively atmosphere along the way.

"Ha ha."

Zi Yun shook her head helplessly. Is this the vision of such a genius? The Great Yan Dynasty is nothing more than a stepping stone.

Although Lin Langtian appeared nonchalant about the Great Yan Dynasty, he possessed sufficient strength to rely on, making everything perfectly reasonable...

The two walked to a market street. Looking at the passersby and the street stalls that filled the street, Lin Langtian felt a surge of interest.

The market in the beginner village is full of treasures. Just thinking about the Tai Xuan Spirit Seal that I obtained from Qingyang Town not long ago makes my heart burn with excitement.

Seemingly noticing Lin Langtian's interest, Ziyun began to introduce him.

"Brother Lin, this is a place for trading, especially for mental cultivation techniques."

"Mental cultivation techniques?" Lin Langtian was somewhat surprised, since no matter where you are, there are very few things related to mental cultivation.

"Yes, this place was created by the Flame City Talisman Master Association, specifically to serve the members of the Talisman Master Association..." Ziyun explained.

So that's why they're backed by the Talisman Masters Association...

Lin Langtian sighed inwardly and followed Ziyun inside.

Several guards stood watch at the entrance to the market, and ordinary people had to show a so-called token to enter.

However, Ziyun seemed to have a connection with Master Yan. As soon as she showed up, the guard greeted her with a smile and then let the two of them in.

"Brother Zi, you have quite a bit of influence in Yan City," Lin Langtian joked with a smile, in a good mood.

"Brother Lin, you flatter me. I am nothing in front of you," Ziyun said with a wry smile.

The two strolled around the market and found that there were indeed some good cultivation techniques. One of them even tempted Lin Langtian. Yan City truly lived up to its reputation as one of the few cities in the Great Yan Dynasty with a Talisman Master Tower.

Having acquired the "Phoenix Pear Blossom Needle" technique, Lin Langtian and Ziyun prepared to leave.

A commotion arose from a nearby stall, seemingly indicating an argument.

"Why are you trying to steal my cultivation technique? I saw it first!"

"The highest bidder wins, what's wrong with that?"

Lin Langtian looked up and saw a cute little girl standing in front of a stall, her face full of anger, glaring at the young man beside her.

The young man seemed completely unconcerned, not taking it seriously at all.

Lin Langtian was about to leave, not intending to meddle in other people's business, but Ziyun beside him quickly stepped forward and walked to the girl's side.

"Ziyue, what happened?"

Ziyun asked with a serious expression.

"Brother?" the girl exclaimed with some surprise when she saw Ziyun.

Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow. The girl matched the image in his memory: Zi Yue, a minor character who appeared in the original work.

Ever since seeing Ziyun, the girl seemed to have found her pillar of support and poured out her grievances.

"Brother, I originally bought this hairpin first and paid for it, but as soon as I got it, this guy took a liking to it and said he wanted to pay 10% more. I refused to sell it, so he conspired with the shop owner to take it back!"

The little girl glared angrily at the young man beside her, puffing out her cheeks.

Ziyun frowned. If the goods hadn't been received yet, then naturally her side was in the wrong. But since the goods were already in hand, it meant the deal was done. To try and back out now would be bullying.

However, we have distinguished guests today, so we need to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

Ziyun glanced at the trembling stall owner. "We're all adults, there's no point in saying more. You probably already have your own conclusion. I won't say more about whose fault it was. This hairpin will stay with whoever sold it first, okay?"

"Yes, yes, Young Master Ziyun is right."

The stall owner was filled with regret; who would have thought that this little girl was actually Ziyun's sister?

Given Ziyun's strength, status, and position, killing me would be a simple matter of a word. Who would go against such a person for the sake of an ordinary person like me?

It's all because that little girl didn't say a word earlier. If she had mentioned her family background, I definitely wouldn't have said a single word in defense of that man.

Seeing the stall owner nod, Ziyun ignored the young man beside her and prepared to leave with Ziyue.

"So you're Ziyun, my brother's defeated opponent?"

An arrogant voice rang out from behind him.
