Chapter 23: Chapter 23: True and False
Xie Jiuniang didn’t leave the market right away.
Whenever she saw a food stall, she stopped, and if the price was right, she would buy so things, spending a few hundred Spiritual Pearls in a haphazard fashion.
An hour passed.
Xie Jiuniang still showed no intention of leaving the market, which made those secretly observing her grow impatient.
It was not conducive to take action within the market.
In the Sanxiang Teahouse near the square, in a second-floor room facing the street, only Lin Wangchen and a middle-aged man in a purple robe were present.
It was none other than Lin Wangchen’s grandfather, Lin Yun, with a mid-Golden Core cultivation level.
The attention of both n was sowhat fixedly revolving around Xie Jiuniang.
Lin Wangchen had attempted to approach Xie Ying in the sect, but as soon as he appeared, he was warned by Xie Ying’s master, Lord Ling Yang, “Grandfather, I suspect that Lord Ling Yang already knows our intentions.”
This was a difficult situation.
It wasn’t just the Lin Family that had a headache, but other families as well.
Lin Wangchen said, “Lord Ling Yang is not to be trifled with, taking away his disciple’s opportunity, I’m afraid…”
Lin Yun raised his hand to stop him, “We are not robbing, nor can we rob. The opportunity must be willingly given or exchanged by the other party, only then will there be no karmic backlash.”
“Yes, I understand,” Wangchen replied.
The family records had detailed accounts. When the Child of Destiny was in their pri, almost no one who offended them ended well.
Lin Bin then asked, “What’s different about the girl from the market?”
Lin Wangchen replied, “She could beco a Heavenly Spiritual Root; the Cleansing Spiritual Grass was obtained by her. Initially, I thought she was the one with the great destiny.”
“Is that so?” Lin Yun mused.
Lin Wangchen continued, “Mm, I’ve seen her two or three tis, she’s quite an interesting little girl. However…”
“Speak your mind.”
“Grandfather, do you think it’s possible… that Xie Ying is not the one? The Xie Family recently had another junior taken as a closed-door disciple by True Lord Chongzhen… Our ancestors said that within a hundred years, True Lord Chongzhen will achieve Divinity Transformation. Should we send soone to the Southeast Sea Region?”
“No need. Our family has already calculated that the Child of Destiny is in the Eastern Region.” Lin Bin had just finished speaking when he suddenly lifted an eyebrow, “Hmm? That little girl has left the market, and Lin Wen is about to make a move. Are you interested in sothing she just bought?”
“Yes, isn’t it said that a person of great destiny can pick up treasures by buying random things? I just wanted to confirm that.”
In the early stages of the Child of Destiny’s growth, when they had not yet fully shown their sharp edges, Tianji Building could only calculate within a certain range under the protection of Heavenly Dao. Since Xie Ying turned into a Single Spirit Root, the prediction beca even more difficult. Initially, it was possible to pinpoint Yunmu City, but now it had beco the Eastern Region.
How vast is the Eastern Region?
Fortunately, he had imdiately sought the company of Brother Gong to go to Yunmu City, directly locking onto the Xie Family.
The possibility that Xie Ying bore the destiny was high, only waiting for her to gain another opportunity.
But Lin Wangchen always rembered Xie Jiuniang.
That poor little girl who obtained an opportunity but couldn’t keep it; according to the family records, the Child of Destiny was very weak initially, with a fate full of hardships. Once they obtain an opportunity, they would soar to the heavens.
Compared to Xie Ying, who was spoiled from childhood, Xie Jiuniang seed more like the Child of Destiny.
Even if Brother Gong’s calculations leaned towards Xie Ying, he was a cautious hunter and didn’t mind confirming it a few more tis…
Xie Jiuniang hadn’t gone far out of the market when soone bumped into her head-on, knocking her down.
“Hey, what the heck? Can’t you see where you’re going when you run?” Xie Jiuniang cursed as she picked herself up off the ground.
But the person who bumped into her ran off without a word.
Xie Jiuniang stood up and imdiately felt for her waist—empty?
Damn!
Where’s my Storage Bag?
Just as Xie Jiuniang was about to open her mouth to shout “thief,” a young man passing by reminded her, “Fellow Daoist, your Storage Bag is on the ground.”
Xie Jiuniang was stunned and looked down.
Indeed, there was a Storage Bag on the ground, very similar to hers, but she recognized at a glance that it wasn’t hers. However, she pretended not to notice and bent over nonchalantly to pick it up.
With a sweep of her Divine Sense, not bound to an owner?
There are 100,000 Spirit Stones inside?
Damn, quite the rich bastard!
The person behind the scenes must be a dog tycoon!
Xie Jiuniang swiftly hung the storage bag at her waist, cheerfully singing a little tune.
Ti to head back, money’s been made.
…
Sanxiang Teahouse.
The storage bag Xie Jiuniang lost soon found its way into Lin Wangchen’s hands.
After erasing the original owner’s trace of divine sense from it, Lin Wangchen examined the items inside the storage bag; they were all worthless trinkets.
There were only about a hundred spirit stones as well.
Lin Wangchen pulled out a rusty broken sword, “Grandfather, this is the one.”
Lin Yun took the broken sword, studied it for a mont, then with a twist of his hand, snap, another piece of the sword blade broke off.
He inspected the broken edge.
Lin Yun threw the two pieces of broken sword onto the table, took out a handkerchief, and wiped his hands, “The material of the sword is re iron, and it’s new. Its appearance has been deliberately aged, a common trick used by small rchants to deceive people.”
Selling a pile of old items often at the market stalls?
Where do they get so much stock?
Fakes!
Only those who are inexperienced in the ways of the world and wish to co upon an opportunity would buy such things from the market.
Lin Wangchen picked up the broken sword, looked it over, and set it down again, “It seems I’ve wasted a hundred thousand spirit stones.”
“Just find soone to retrieve it.”
“Forget it, during the Sect’s recruitnt period, there are many powerful figures in the city; best not to create unnecessary complications…”
The main issue was that he had already erased the divine sense of the storage bag’s owner, blocking any normal ans of exchange.
And at the mont the divine sense was erased from the storage bag, Xie Jiuniang already knew, sneering in her heart.
Rats in the gutter are also only fit to hide in the dark.
Xie Jiuniang stepped into the small courtyard she rented.
The mont she closed the courtyard door, the childlike innocence around her vanished in a turn, replaced by a chilly aura.
It made Song Baobao, who ca out of the kitchen, timidly pretend not to see her and head back into the kitchen.
Back in her own room, protected by formations against snooping from outsiders, Xie Jiuniang reached into the left sleeve of her robe with her right hand and fished around.
She pulled out a storage bag.
This ti she left ho, she made preparations in advance just in case.
Upon learning that her past life was as a Child of Destiny, picked clean to the bone by a pack of wolves, Xie Jiuniang would shiver as if she had fallen into an ice cave whenever she thought of it.
It wasn’t that she was useless, it was that the enemy’s thods were too cunning.
If not for her rebirth, if not for obtaining the Ti Leaf, if not for a fortunate coincidence, she would never have learned the truth.
Suddenly, she felt a bit grateful to her elder sister.
Without the Ti Leaf she got from her, even with rebirth, she probably couldn’t escape a calculated death.
Now, she was the one with the advantage.
Before leaving Yunmu City, she recreated everything she could from her previous life that she had gained and then lost.
She always felt there would be a mont to use them, and now, indeed there was.
Before leaving the house today, Xie Jiuniang wasn’t even sure if soone was watching her. It was just a habit to take precautions first, placing a fake broken sword in the visible storage bag at her waist in advance.
The real broken sword had been hidden in the storage bag within her sleeve the mont she bought it.
Xie Jiuniang couldn’t wait to take out the broken sword.
And began to study it carefully…
