Chapter 172: The ignorant and fearless
Translator: 549690339
Xia qingchen found it very hard to like that commanding attitude.
He still stood with his arms crossed, his expression indifferent. âYou suspect
among all the people present, youâre the most free and most likely to steal things while weâre busy. If I donât suspect you, who should suspect me? â âCome over, I want to search you!â Elder Xing an berated.
A body search?
Iâve been standing here the entire time, â Xia qingchen said calmly. how would I have the chance to steal something right under your nose? â
In order to avoid suspicion, he always stood far away.
âWonât we know if itâs you or not after a quick search?â Elder Xing an had the intention to find fault and naturally wouldnât listen to any explanation.
Manager yang walked over with a trace of anger. elder Xing an, itâs better to investigate clearly first. A body search is an insult.
He believed that Xia qingchen didnât steal anything.
It was just that perhaps they really shouldnât have invited Xia qingchen over at this moment. It was because they had coincidentally encountered the most unkind elder Xing an, and also happened to encounter the loss of the goods.
âShopkeeper yang, I remember you saying that you would be responsible for the loss of the goods, right?â Elder Xing anâs chopstick-like fingers gently rubbed against each other.
His eyes were deep in his eye sockets and he slowly squinted.
Manager yang was at a loss for words.
There had never been a shortage of goods before, and this was the first time.
âUnless you really want to take responsibility, move to the side and watch obediently.â Elder Xing an shouted coldly.
Manager Yangâs lips moved, but he hesitated.
He didnât wish for Xia qingchen to suffer from an unjust wish. After all, he was the one who had invited Xia qingchen here.
However, that butterfly spirit was worth hundreds of stars!
How could he bear it?
Just as he was hesitating, Xia qingchenâs soft sigh rang out from behind him.
âElder Xing an, lightly press the top of the butterfly demonâs head three times.â
Elder Xing an frowned, âwhat are you doing? The butterfly spirit is an extremely delicate thing, how can you touch it at will?â
Manager yang also looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Press the butterfly spiritâs head? What was he doing?
âThen youâll be missing a butterfly demon forever.â Xia qingchen calmly spoke.
With some doubt, elder Xing an opened the Jade box and very carefully tapped the butterfly spiritâs forehead three times with his index finger.
But the butterfly spirit did not show any unusual signs.
âAnd then?â what? â elder Xing an had a questioning look on his face, â you can avoid the body search like this? â
He was about to walk over and search her body.
Suddenly, he heard a soft rustling sound.
He looked down and saw that it was the butterfly spirit. A colorful liquid was flowing out of its mouth.
The drops of liquid condensed into a smaller butterfly spirit.
Its size, shape, and appearance were obviously the missing butterfly demon.
â this ⊠elder falling star was stunned on the spot, unable to understand what was happening.
Manager yang was equally surprised. He had come into contact with the butterfly demon many times, but he had never seen such a strange scene.
He subconsciously turned his gaze toward Xia qingchen. âYoung master Xia, this is âŠâ
âThe butterfly spirits will devour each other.â Xia qingchen said briefly.
Devouring?
Manager Yangâs eyes were blank, indicating that he had never heard of it.âThe butterfly spirit isnât a living thing. Itâs just a liquid that looks like a butterfly.
How can you say itâs devouring?â
The butterfly spirit was a mysterious liquid born by a strange butterfly, not a real butterfly.
Between two liquids, how could they devour each other?
Xia qingchen was expressionless as he explained. there are male and female butterfly spirits as well. Under a suitable temperature, thereâs nothing strange about a male butterfly spirit devouring a female.
Previously, elder Xing an had touched the two butterfly demons with his palm. The temperature of his palm caused the male butterfly demon to start devouring the female butterfly demon.
How could it not be strange?
The people present had never heard of such a saying before, yet Xia qingchen spoke with a calm expression.
However, the big Butterfly spirit did spit out the small butterfly spirit just now.
This was enough to prove that Xia qingchenâs words were correct.
Manager yang was surprised and couldnât help but look at elder Xing an. He sneered, ââAre you still going to search this body?â
After all this, it was a mistake.
It was fortunate that elder falling star had made such a big fuss. It turned out that he was inexperienced and did not know that the butterfly spirit had such a hidden characteristic.
Elder falling star was expressionless as he said indifferently, ââlf thereâs something, Iâll change. If thereâs nothing, Iâll encourage you.â
The meaning of this sentence was to correct the mistakes pointed out by others if they existed, and to encourage themselves if they didnât.
When it was used on Xia qingchen, it meant that if he stole something, he would correct it. If he didnât, he would admonish himself.
He had accused her without any sense of apology. Instead, he acted as if he was doing it for her own good!
âAlright, thatâs all for todayâs sorting.â Elder Xing an put away the register book and looked at the remaining precious materials with a deep meaning.
However, he wanted to leave.
However, Xia qingchen might not be willing.
âHold on!â Xia qingchen spoke indifferently.
Elder Xing an cast a sidelong glance at him,âwhat?â Do you want this old man to apologize to you?â
That attitude, that tone ⊠It was impossible for him to apologize.
it doesnât matter whether you apologize or not. I donât care. Would Xia qingchen care about that little bit of apology?
âHmph!â Elder Xing an snorted and walked away, ignoring him.
elder Xing an, â Xia qingchen calmly continued. I want to correct a few of the materials that elder Xing an has appraised wrongly.
Upon hearing this, shopkeeper yang, shopkeeper Zhou, and the others felt their hearts tighten.
It was not a small matter to make an error in the appraisal of materials.
If they were to sell precious materials as inferior materials and were found out, the relevant people of the heavenly star Hall would have to accept the punishment of the sect.
The degree of punishment was determined by the losses.
However, they felt relieved.
Those precious materials had been personally appraised by elder Xing an, so what mistake could there be?
However, they didnât notice the trace of panic that flashed past elder Xing anâs eyes.
He turned around and scolded, âignorant child, how dare you question my appraisal?â Get lost immediately!â
As an elder of the star Lordâs peak, it was no big deal for him to berate a low-level disciple.
However, manager yang and the others could sense that something was amiss.
Was elder Xing anâs expression too excited?
âYoung master Xia, have you discovered something?â Manager yang asked.
Xia qingchen stood at his original spot and calmly said, ââln the ninth Jade box, itâs not white-headed ginseng, but snow whisker Emperor ginseng.â
The white-headed ginseng was worth ten stars.
The snow whisker Emperor ginseng was worth 80 stars!
Manager yang was taken aback. He was about to ask when Xia qingchen continued, ââln the tenth Jade box, itâs not the tearful bluestone, but the profound feather flower stone.â
The former was a low-grade material, only worth twenty stars.
The latter was a legendary divine stone that only existed in books and was
worth 100 stars!
âThe twelfth Jade box âŠâ
Xia qingchen consecutively pointed out five Jade boxes with problems.
It was filled with the most expensive materials in this batch.
Elder Xing anâs pupils contracted, and his eyes were filled with shock and hatred.
It was obvious that elder Xing an had not made a mistake in the appraisal of all five Jade boxes.
It was intentional.
Intentionally appraising a valuable item as a low-grade item.
Then, he would send people to buy all these things at a low price and obtain astonishing profits from it.
However, he had never thought that he could not hide from a young man even though he had deceived so many shopkeepers!
youâre truly ignorant and fearless. You actually dare to question my appraisal results. I admire your courage. Of course, elder Xing an naturally wouldnât admit it and had a condescending attitude.
He would only watch one chapter today and make up for it at the fourth chapter tomorrow..
