Gulp, this strategy is exactly what I had in mind. Has Xiao Yunyun already determined that I will not be able to find out anything?
And, uh, from Xiao Yunyun's tone, her attitude is already very clear, she just doesn't say it explicitly.
The worst option is too procrastinating, and the best option is too foolish. So, she actually wants me to capture the person first?
As I was thinking about it, a highly recognizable and gorgeous carriage was slowly approaching from the opposite corner of the street.
Chapter 22 Methods of Appraising Treasures
"Ms. Yuyun, we meet again. We are indeed destined to be together!"
Sure enough, the person who came was Long Aotian. When he saw Xiao Yunyun, he immediately stuck to her and ignored me gorgeously.
Well, misfortunes never come singly. When things are not going well in handling a case, I happen to meet Long Aotian!
"You, why is your nose like a dog's? It seems like every time I take Xiao Yunyun out to eat, you can always follow me by smelling me!"
I glared at him angrily.
I'm struggling with this and don't want to see Long Aotian!
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. We are good friends. Why does Brother Li speak like a vulgar person?"
Long Aotian shook his head in pretended disappointment, then gracefully reached out his hand and pulled Song Ling'er down from the carriage.
His eyes were full of mockery.
"Brother Aotian, don't blame Brother Li. He has lived in Qiyun for a long time, so he is naturally different from us."
Song Linger giggled, and Long Aotian also understood that this was a different way of saying that the country bumpkin didn't know etiquette!
It's like this again. If I run into Long Aotian, I'm going to be in trouble.
Wow, when it comes to arguing, I can’t beat him!
angry!
"Miss Yuyun, how can such a vulgar and incompetent person be worthy of your assistance? I, Long, am a humble person, but I dare to invite Miss Yuyun to come to my house for a chat."
Long Aotian bowed to Xiao Yunyun again, as if he had completely forgotten about being rejected last time.
Yes, that’s right, Long Aotian is a very thick-skinned man.
"Why, Mr. Long, you came here just for me? Are you following me?"
Little Yunyun continued to struggle with the food in her hand without even raising her head, looking completely uninterested.
Humph, my little Yunyun will never be abducted by this guy Long Aotian. I have specifically told him so.
"Miss Yuyun is in serious condition. There is an invisible bond between you and me. I don't need to follow you to find your whereabouts."
Long Aotian opened the fan and waved it, feeling extremely proud.
"Oh?"
Yuyun knew that she was not being followed, and she had just said it casually. This time, she couldn't help but look up.
It’s nothing, I just felt disgusted.
What the hell is this bond or guidance? It's obvious that she only wants the bond with her stupid loli.
"This so-called seventh-rank Lord Li can give Miss Yuyun everything that I, Long Aotian, can give you. Why should you be subordinate to a mediocre person, Miss Yuyun?"
Long Aotian thought that the other party was moved.
"You can't give me what I want."
Yuyun simply shook her head.
As for Long Aotian, even if he were to be reborn as a girl, he would not be able to become the person he likes.
Unexpectedly, these originally sarcastic words gave Long Aotian great confidence.
"No, no, no, Miss Yuyun probably doesn't know that all the treasures in this world are destined to be with me, Long Aotian. I have my own sense of destiny, and there is nothing I can't find. Just like you, Miss Yuyun, you are the greatest treasure in the world, and you have always attracted me, Long Aotian, to come here!"
Long Aotian raised his head and laughed, as if he had heard something incredible.
However, the information he revealed surprised Wu Yuyun.
Are all the treasures in the world destined to be with him?
What a big mouth! Even my mother wouldn’t dare to say such things!
"Miss Yuyun, what kind of treasure do you want? You may as well tell me. The things I can't give you may be rare in the world."
Long Aotian's nostrils were snorting, which showed that he was extremely confident.
Wu Yuyun couldn't help but look back.
The treasure she wanted was the righteous little one in front of her. Why did she need anyone to give it to her? She would get it by herself.
Long Aotian was used to being arrogant because of his extraordinary talent, so he was blind. You must know that although the world is big, one day it will all belong to you, so what worldly treasures can impress you?
However, this ability to sense treasures is really curious.
"Well, seeing is believing, so how about Miss Yuyun follow me to the antique shop on the street? My perception has never been wrong. I'm sure that by then, Miss Yuyun will know whether I, Long Aotian, am worthy of following."
Long Aotian bowed gently and pretended to invite him.
"Well, lead the way."
Wu Yuyun nodded. She wanted to see what kind of person looked like who could search for treasures and claimed to have a connection with the greatest treasures in the world.
They were not far away, so there was no need to take a carriage. Long Aotian took Song Ling'er's arm, said "please", and led the way.
Wu Yuyun was about to catch up when she found that there was someone missing.
I quickly turned around and saw that the little guy was standing there, biting his lower lip unwillingly, with tears in his eyes, and he was about to cry out of grievance.
Yes, the little girl was already impressed by Long Aotian. In her eyes, she must have thought that she was abducted by the wealthy Long Aotian.
Wu Yuyun secretly laughed. The silly little girl's character was adorable. She was worthy of being her treasure.
She just likes to see the little guy doing stupid things.
I had no choice but to accept my fate, turn back, hold the little guy's hand myself, and follow him forward.
"Just come with me to take a look, okay?"
"Uh, yeah."
He agreed reluctantly. This little guy is easy to compromise.
No, if I am not tough, as a county magistrate, I will not be able to deal with those cunning criminals.
The training of the little guy needs to continue.
Wu Yuyun thought to herself.
As it gets darker, there are many street vendors. In this small county town, at least this street is quite popular.
Long Aotian did not take the three people to the big store in the high-rise building. Instead, he shuttled around the market, as if he knew the exact location of the treasure.
Wu Yuyun became more and more convinced that this guy was not bragging.
Until Long Aotian stopped in front of a small street stall.
The little fellow had already revealed a disdainful expression, and even Wu Yuyun began to feel confused.
The vendor's wares included more than twenty items of varying sizes. Although they were different, they had two characteristics: one was that they were dirty, and the other was that they were torn, just as if they had just been dug out of the ground.
"This is it. Treasures and trash are mixed together. Hmm, old man, how do you sell it?"
Long Aotian didn't care about other people's eyes.
"Ten taels each, no bargaining."
The old man guarding the stall didn't even raise his eyelids.
"Ten taels each, these are clearly junk, not worth a single copper coin!"
Song Linger said disdainfully, signaling Long Aotian that he didn't need to spend any money.
"What's a mere ten taels? Very good, Miss Yuyun. Let me examine it for a while. Once the treasure is discovered, I will give it to you as a gift for hiring you. How about that?"
Long Aotian smiled, full of confidence.
"Oh, treasures, these are all garbage no matter how you look at them, eh?"
Wu Yuyun mocked him but did not refuse on the spot.
Long Aotian just smiled confidently, elegantly picked up a broken bottle covered in mud, and began to identify it.
"Goo, I, I, I want all of these things!"
Seeing that Long Aotian had already said the words of employment, how could I hold back?
He bid out all the silver, which was over 200 taels, on the spot with great momentum, and angrily pulled all the goods to my side to protect them.
Yu Yun was stunned, and Long Aotian was also stunned. Only the old vendor leisurely collected the money and handed me a large sack.
The way he looked at me was as if he was looking at a fool.
Chapter 23: Being Educated
Long Aotian, whose plan was ruined by me, had a face full of mockery, and Song Linger behind him even laughed out loud.
"You are indeed worthy of being like that. You can just throw away two hundred taels of silver notes. If that's the case, why should I, Long Aotian, give it up?"
Long Aotian behaved quite magnanimously in front of Yu Yun.
"But my dear brother Li, I wonder how precious the treasures in this small county are. They are actually worth two hundred taels of silver. Can you tell me a little bit so that I, your sister, can open my eyes?"
Song Ling'er couldn't help but mock me.
Now that you mention it, it seems so.
I still remember from the previous trial that the old man’s heirloom, a famous painting from the previous dynasty, was only worth 50 taels of silver.
I thought I had been tough and snatched away the treasure that Long Aotian liked, but when I looked carefully, everyone seemed to be laughing.
The laughter of Long Aotian and Song Linger, the snickering of the merchant who made a fortune, and even Xiao Yunyun gave me a loving smile.
Wow, am I embarrassing myself by being so smart again?
"It's getting late. If Mr. Long has nothing else to do, please let us go back first."
Xiao Yunyun seemed to have lost interest. Before Long Aotian could make any move, she came back to my side and pretended to leave.
Long Aotian was unwilling to do that. In his eyes, the treasure with the strongest sense was undoubtedly the loli in front of him.
"After all, I only saw a pile of junk, not the treasure you always talked about. Where is your value?"
Before he could even utter the word "stay", he was choked by Yuyun.
Who said there was no treasure? Wasn’t it snatched away by this stupid county magistrate?
If you inspect other people's goods now, you won't be the one who gets the benefit, so why bother yourself?
"Humph, there are people scrambling to buy even junk. This is really an eye-opener for me."
After glaring at me hatefully, Long Aotian turned around and left with his men.
I was left alone with a sack of unknown stuff in my hand.
Woohoo, I no longer want to think about whether I made a profit or a loss this time. Anyway, as long as Xiao Yunyun was not kidnapped, it’s fine!
This is what Long Aotian was planning to use to hire Xiao Yunyun, right?
"Um, Xiao Yunyun, treasure, um..."
Wow, I also want to give it to Xiao Yunyun, but after getting it, I feel like I can’t give it to her!
Xiao Yunyun looked at me and started laughing again.
"Sister Li did a great job."
Hey, you don't mean to laugh at me?
I blinked blankly at the unexpected compliment.
"Think about it. We don't know whether there are treasures in it, but you chose to buy them all, whether they are right or wrong. Although the method is stupid, as long as it contains the treasure we are looking for, we will definitely not miss it, right?"
What did Xiao Yunyun say suddenly?
But since Xiao Yunyun asked, I still nodded obediently, as long as she didn't get unhappy and accuse me of spending money recklessly.
Well, I’m not a spendthrift loli.
