Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries Chapter 316: Gu Family Trade Fair

Gu Xing’s expression was calm as she responded with a smile, "Our Gu Family is not adept at cultivating Exotic Beasts, but we do collaborate with the Beast Clan."

"We provide so conveniences for the Beast Clan, and they provide so for us, a mutually beneficial arrangent." Gu Xing had no intention of concealing what the Gu Family was involved in.

Xia Mian nodded gently.

Previously, when interacting with Song Ke and others, Xia Mian only knew that the Exotic Beasts were tied by contracts with the Beast Clan, but didn’t expect that Exotic Beasts could also be exchanged.

Thinking this, Xia Mian was already seated on the carriage pulled by the Exotic Beast.

Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian boarded the sa carriage, Xia Weizhang and Gu Zhi boarded another, while Gu Zhi took a carriage of his own.

All five were seated, and the Gu Family mber who led the Exotic Beasts gave a command to the driver, and the three carriages moved simultaneously.

The Exotic Beasts, with powerful limbs and imnse physique, ran, creating a gust of wind, comparable to modern motorcycles, quite impressive.

With the Exotic Beasts serving as legs, Xia Mian and the others reached the eastern part of the city where the trade fair was held within ten minutes.

The Exotic Beasts were led away by the Gu Family mber, while Gu Xing ushered Xia Mian and the others to the entrance of the trade fair.

The location arranged by the Gu Family for the trade fair was at the foot of a mountain, sheltered from wind and sun, lush with plants, an excellent environnt.

mbers of the Gu Family stood guard at the entrance, and everyone entering the trade fair had to be checked.

However, with Gu Xing’s leadership, Xia Mian and the others naturally enjoyed special privileges.

Upon entering the trade fair, Xia Mian and the others discovered it was quite similar to exhibitions in the modern world.

The fair was divided into several zones, each dedicated to displaying a single type of item.

People wandered around in their respective zones, exchanging for what they needed.

As Xia Mian walked and looked around, she unexpectedly spotted soone she knew.

The leader of the caravan that had once helped them into the city had claid a spot, displaying all kinds of strange and unusual herbal plants.

As Xia Mian glanced over, he coincidentally looked up and saw her, his eyes showing a hint of surprise, "Young lady, we et again! You’ve co to the Gu Family’s trade fair too!"

Xia Mian nodded, "Big brother, are you planning to sell so dicinal herbs?"

The caravan leader chuckled heartily, "Yes! Young lady, are you looking to exchange for anything?"

Xia Mian responded casually, "I’m just browsing."

As Xia Mian said this, the caravan leader couldn’t help but take another look at her, just browsing?

Was the Gu Family’s trade fair really a place where one could just browse?

The caravan leader’s montary glance wasn’t insignificant; he imdiately noticed Gu Xing.

"Young lady..." The caravan leader’s expression grew sowhat excited, "Young lady has personally co to the trade fair, is there sothing you need?"

Gu Xing smiled slightly, "I’m accompanying Miss Xia on a walk."

Gu Xing said this and, seeming a bit awkward to leave without sothing to offer, exchanged a few dicinal herbs with the caravan leader using an entry-level cultivation technique from the Gu Family.

The caravan leader was overjoyed, expressing endless gratitude towards Gu Xing!

Gu Xing maintained a suitable smile as she gradually disengaged from that stall.

Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan also walked away hand in hand, indeed, the trade fair hosted by the Gu Family boasted a wide array of items, most of the visitors being ordinary people.

mbers of the Gu Family occasionally visited to exchange so items, although what they offered the stall owners were generally less important cultivation techniques or cultivation insights, these stall owners treated them as treasures.

In this trade fair, Gu Family mbers were like saviors.

Xia Mian lowered her gaze slightly, feeling inexplicably complex.

Gu Xing was well-received, while Gu Zhi was unknown and faced a long journey to establish himself in the Gu Family!

"Miss Xia, while these vendors sell ordinary things, if luck is on your side, you might still find sothing we need," Gu Xing’s tone was gentle, her voice calm and composed.

Xia Mian responded faintly, not intending to have more conversation with Gu Xing.

Initially, Gu Xing aid to intimidate Gu Zhi, and now, no matter how friendly Gu Xing behaved, Xia Mian found it difficult to have a favorable impression of her.

Gu Xing probably sensed Xia Mian’s coldness, her expression deepening slightly as she looked distantly into the distance.

Before long, soone approached Gu Xing directly, whispered sothing to her.

Afterward, Gu Xing apologized to Xia Mian, "Miss Xia, sothing ca up at ho that needs my attention, I must leave for a while, you all continue shopping, and later I’ll send soone to escort you back to the Gu Family!"

Xia Mian nodded nonchalantly, unaffected by whether Gu Xing stayed or left.

Once Gu Xing departed, Gu Zhi visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you afraid of her?" Xia Mian lightly furrowed her brows, glancing back at Gu Zhi.

Since they set out, Gu Zhi had been silent, his presence minimal.

Gu Zhi pressed his lips tightly, "Afraid, not really, just that her aura makes it hard for to breathe."

Xia Mian smiled, "After all, she’s held the position of young lady for so many years, having an aura is quite normal."

Gu Zhi looked slightly embarrassed, "I’ve embarrassed you."

Xia Mian changed the topic, "Let’s take a look around; perhaps we’ll indeed find a gem like Gu Xing described!"

Gu Zhi seed sowhat absent-minded, realizing through this journey with Gu Xing how much her status as a forsaken mber of the Gu Family differed from a true Gu Family heir.

Xia Weizhang walked beside Gu Zhi, softly reassuring her, "Don’t think too much, the dicine Miss Xia provided us is incredibly potent, my cultivation has improved significantly!"

Gu Zhi forced a smile, looked at Xia Weizhang, "Rest assured, I won’t bring sha to Miss Xia."

Just as Gu Zhi finished speaking, Xia Mian stopped at a stall, starting a conversation with the stall owner, "How much is this item?"

Gu Zhi looked at where Xia Mian pointed; it was sothing akin to Tai Sui, with the difference being that the item Xia Mian pointed at was solid, appearing very hard.

A normal Tai Sui would not have a smooth surface or sheen, but the one Xia Mian pointed at had a surface smooth as jade, gleaming brightly under the sun.

Seeing a custor arrive, the stall owner promptly replied, "Miss, you have a keen eye, I attained this item by chance, many cultivators say it’s valuable, but I’m no cultivator and have no use for it; if you want it, you can take it with a Qi Enhancent Pill!"

Xia Mian smiled, "I don’t have the Qi Enhancent Pill you ntioned, but what I have here, if you take one, you will imdiately transform, acquiring the potential for cultivation..."

"Miss, are you jesting with ?" The stallowner’s face stiffened, "How can such an Elixir exist in this world!"

If such an Elixir truly existed, would there still be ordinary people in the Mystical World?

Everyone would be a cultivator!
