Chapter 432 - The Beasts" Soft And Hard Coercion (3)
"Little fox?" The little old man looked at Charm and fell silent.
"Old man, I told you not to make a bet with my master! But you refused to listen," Charm couldn"t help saying.
"It doesn"t matter! I will admit defeat if I lose! Anyway, it won"t be a loss for me. I"ll have a disciple with excellent apt.i.tude," the little old man said generously.
"Lan family brat, tell me more about Lan Ning"er!" The little old man then said to Lan Lie. He was really curious. How did the Lan family raise such a piece of work?
"Okay! If you want to know, I"ll tell you about her glorious deeds. There"s enough to talk about for three days and three nights," Lan Lie said with a chuckle.
"Then let"s find a place to sit and talk!" the little old man suggested.
"No problem." Lan Lie nodded. The four of them and one beast left the exchange venue, found a tea house nearby, and began chatting…
Outside the city gate…
Leng Ruoxue"s exchange meeting was in full swing, and it was extraordinarily lively. There were even more alchemists setting up stalls around her…
"Big Sister, bring me some more herbs," the little black dog said while running to Leng Ruoxue.
"Here you go." Leng Ruoxue directly handed Blackie a storage ring. Her exchange meeting had only been open for two days, but she had gained a lot these two days! Not only did she exchange for a lot of precious herbs, but she also got to know many alchemists.
Moreover, she let Blackie, who was knowledgeable about herbs, out because of the severe shortage of manpower. Blackie was obviously very adept at such busy work. As for her grandfather and the others, they took the initiative to maintain order because they didn"t know much about herbs.
"Xue"er, you must be exhausted!" Freak came to Leng Ruoxue"s side and wiped the sweat off her forehead with some heartache.
"It"s okay," Leng Ruoxue said happily. Hehe, she didn"t know how the Lan family would react if they knew that she had dug out their corner and plotted against them. But it was very strange. It had been two days. Why was there no movement from the Lan family at all?
"Xue"er, if the Lan family finds out that we held an exchange meeting on our own, they probably won"t let us go!" Freak teased.
"It"s okay. Anyway, the feud with the Lan family is set. However, the reaction of the Lan family"s patriarch is quite strange," Leng Ruoxue said doubtfully. Logically speaking, their behavior outside the city should be in the Lan family"s plain sight, but no one from the Lan family came out to stop them!
Leng Ruoxue was chatting with Freak when a young man suddenly appeared in front of them and asked, "Do you have a silver bell flower?"
"You want to exchange for a silver bell flower?" Leng Ruoxue asked doubtfully. There had been too many alchemists who wanted to exchange for silver bell flowers, so she had already removed silver bell flowers from the exchange list. So this young man shouldn"t know, right?
"Yes, please exchange with me if you still have more!" The young man said very sincerely.
"How did you know we have silver bell flowers?" Leng Ruoxue asked cautiously.
"An elderly man and a little fox told me. I really need a silver bell flower. Can you exchange it with me?" the young man said honestly.
"What would you exchange for it?" Leng Ruoxue asked. Hehe, so he was introduced by the little old man and Charm! They were pretty fast!
"I can exchange a stalk of silverleaf gra.s.s with you. If it"s not enough, I can add some other herbs," the young man said sincerely.
"No need. Just use the silverleaf gra.s.s!" Leng Ruoxue said and gave Freak a look.
After receiving Leng Ruoxue"s signal, Freak took out a silver bell flower from his ring and handed it to the young man.
"Thank you! I"m so grateful!" the young man said happily. Boohoo… I finally got it. It really wasn"t easy.
The young man took out the silverleaf gra.s.s. After the two of them exchanged, he mimicked the other alchemists and set up a stall outside the city…
"Xue"er, looks like the Lan family"s medicinal herb exchange meeting will be over soon," Freak whispered with a smile on his face.
"It"s okay. The Lan family won"t mind," Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile.
During the time they were talking, many alchemists came to exchange herbs with them. Moreover, they knew the young man from before, so Leng Ruoxue readily exchanged the required herbs with them.
"Master, I"m back." At this moment, a white shadow pounced into Leng Ruoxue"s arms with a whoosh.
"Charm, why are you back so soon?" Leng Ruoxue hugged the cute little snow-white beast in her arms and asked doubtfully. It had only been two days.
"Hehe, Master, I finished my mission and came back early!" Charm kept rubbing himself in Leng Ruoxue"s arms. Boohoo… I missed Master so much!
"Little friend, I"m back too." The little old man appeared in front of Leng Ruoxue gloomily.
"Old man, have you admitted defeat?" Leng Ruoxue asked in realization.
"I lost. That Lan Ning"er is worse than you said," the little old man said angrily. Hmph! How could the Lan family have such a descendant! How disappointing!
"Uh!" Leng Ruoxue looked at the little old man, a little puzzled. Why is this little old man so angry? Could the Lan family have a close relations.h.i.+p with him?
"Little friend! I admit defeat. Where"s my disciple?" The little old man looked around, looking for Zheng En.
"Zheng En is over there!" Leng Ruoxue pointed at Zheng En, who was surrounded by people not far away.
"Oh, little friend, your exchange meeting is getting quite big!" The little old man looked at the sea of people in front of him and was a little speechless. It hadn"t even been two days, but it had already formed such a scale!
"Old man, I heard that the Lan family"s medicinal herb exchange meeting will require admission tickets. Moreover, the price has increased this year. We"re not charging here, so of course, many people will come! Moreover, I have real materials!" Leng Ruoxue said with a smile. Her real materials naturally referred to those herbs.
"Hehe, little friend, the Lan family still thinks that the alchemists who are partic.i.p.ating in the exchange haven"t arrived yet! How could they have expected you to stop them halfway!" the little old man said with a happy smile.. This little girl was really too smart. If his old friend knew about this, he would be depressed to death!
