Wang Qing was slightly startled and said to Zhang Changyang, "So it’s soone from the Xuanyang Sect. What big matter do you wish to discuss with ?"
A trace of wariness appeared on Wang Qing’s face. The Tianshan Sect had nothing to do with the Xuanyang Sect, and there had never been any trade entanglents between them, so Zhang Changyang’s sudden visit left him puzzled.
Zhang Changyang looked around and whispered in Wang Qing’s ear, "Would you like to get more Spirit Spring Water?"
Wang Qing nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course, I’d like to, but what a pity, the dicinal herbs I brought today are hardly enough."
"Ah, you’re thinking too much. Why should we use trading?" Zhang Changyang gave an evil smile and said, "There’s a saying called ’rob’! It’s all profit."
"He brought such good things with him, how can we let him go back unhard?"
Just now, Ye Ming’s trading thods had all been witnessed by Zhang Changyang, every move Ye Ming made was etched into his mind. He had initially thought that Ye Ming was just joining in on the fun, but to his surprise, Ye Ming had easily produced so many valuable items.
A malicious thought suddenly crossed Zhang Changyang’s mind. He had grievances against Ye Ming and wanted to take him down. Now that he discovered Ye Ming had treasures on him, that was even better.
He planned to collude with several experts from other sects to gang up on Ye Ming, and then divide these treasures amongst them afterward—wouldn’t that be wonderful?
At that mont, Liu Laoqi, who had traded with Ye Ming, also ca over.
He was an old acquaintance of Wang Qing and urged, "Elder Wang, stop hesitating. When there are good things, we should all share them. Let’s team up. Can’t we deal with just one of him?"
"He looks unfamiliar. He probably isn’t a mber of the hidden sects of Jiangbei, so we don’t need to worry about repercussions in dealing with him."
Wang Qing smacked his lips and said, "You’re right. I’ve made inquiries too. This lad indeed isn’t affiliated with any sect; he has no backing. Even if we take care of him, we don’t have to worry about anyone seeking revenge."
"So why waste any more words? Let’s just do it. His Body Tempering Elixir is simply amazing. I have to get the formula!" Liu Laoqi said excitedly.
Wang Qing looked troubled and asked, "But, isn’t it sowhat wrong for us to do this?"
Zhang Changyang chuckled and said, "Elder Wang, we ca to you because we saw that you were very interested in that Spirit Spring Water. If we invited others to join our alliance, you would end up without a share of the Spirit Spring Water."
Hearing this, Wang Qing hesitated no longer and slamd the table, saying, "Let’s do it! Since he dared to co, it’s his own fault, no bla on us!"
Wang Qing quickly convinced himself and joined ranks with Zhang Changyang and the others.
...
After leaving Wang Qing’s stall, Lin ngdie’s face showed a pitiable look again.
Ye Ming, of course, knew what she was thinking and generously handed her so Spirit Spring Water, saying, "It’s best not to drink too much at once, for fear you won’t be able to handle it."
Because he was traveling, Ye Ming had brought a limited quantity of Spirit Spring Water, but the concentration of this water was very high.
Lin ngdie, like a little girl who had just received candy, happily nodded her head and then tried a little of the Spirit Spring Water.
Her mouth ford an ’o’ shape, and she looked at Ye Ming with astonished delight, saying, "This is too magical, isn’t it? It even has this effect?"
"Is this Spirit Spring Water of yours perhaps the legendary divine water?"
Lin ngdie felt the surge of True Qi in her Dantian. A sip of the water was more beneficial than several days of ditative breathing, and she was incredibly shocked.
"Brother Ming, what other treasures are you hiding on you? Can you take them all out and show , please?" Lin ngdie, having received a benefit, began to act cute and coquettish, hugging Ye Ming’s arm and shaking it non-stop.
Ye Ming couldn’t resist such coquettish behavior and imdiately felt his body go soft. He urged her in haste, "Mind your image a bit; there are so many people around us."
"After you defeat and we annul the engagent, there will be many treasures I can give you."
Upon hearing Ye Ming’s words, Lin ngdie imdiately let go of Ye Ming’s arm, snorted, and said, "How unfeeling you are, always thinking of canceling our engagent."
The dual surprises no longer fueled Lin ngdie’s impulse to break off the engagent with Ye Ming; in fact, she even felt the urge to marry Ye Ming. But to her astonishnt, after she had uncharacteristically acted coquettishly and affectedly cute, Ye Ming remained unmoved and uttered such cold words, which made her very angry.
Ye Ming couldn’t be bothered to pay more attention. He had already learned his lesson and did not dare to have too much entanglent with Lin ngdie, so he continued towards other stalls.
In the ti that followed, Ye Ming found so more precious dicinal materials, and the trading went quite smoothly; he profited handsoly from this dicinal material convention.
After browsing all the stalls, Ye Ming felt there was nothing more worth buying and was about to call it quits when Liu Laoqi ca running over with a beaming smile.
He ca up to Ye Ming and said, "Brother, I’ve just received news that a friend of mine has obtained a Tianshan Snow Lotus. That’s a rare treasure that appears only once in a hundred years, and I think you would be interested."
Ye Ming’s eyes lit up. The Tianshan Snow Lotus was very famous, and he had heard about it long ago but had never seen the real thing, so of course he was interested.
He asked, "Where is it?"
Liu Laoqi, with an embarrassed smile, said, "My friend is waiting outside the door. He’s not a descendant of a major sect, so he’s not qualified to co in."
"Shall we go out and et him together?"
Liu Laoqi asked tentatively.
As soone who practiced External Martial Arts, Liu Laoqi was not very astute, nor could he tell convincing lies — his simple words were full of flaws.
However, Ye Ming did not call him out directly, but nodded and said, "Alright, let’s have a look then."
After saying that, Ye Ming was ready to follow him out.
A cunning smile appeared on Liu Laoqi’s face as he walked ahead to lead the way.
At that mont, Lin ngdie suddenly grabbed Ye Ming’s arm and said, "I want to go too."
Fearing that Ye Ming would refuse, Lin ngdie added, "I’ve only seen the Tianshan Snow Lotus on television, never in real life. I want to see it in person."
Seeing Lin ngdie’s determination, Ye Ming nodded, then arranged for Zhou Dalong to wait in the original place.
Once outside, the two of them followed Liu Laoqi, moving away from the dicinal material convention site and walking toward a deserted street.
Lin ngdie had already sensed sothing and gave Ye Ming a look.
Ye Ming patted her hand, signaling her not to say anything.
Finally, after walking more than five hundred ters, Liu Laoqi suddenly stopped in an open space.
"Are we there?" Ye Ming asked.
Liu Laoqi dropped his pretense and said with a cold smile, "Yes, your ti to die has co!"
