"Do you think I'm crazy now? Are you starting to try to stop me? Is it because of this that you start to look down on me mentally? You're such an idiot!" Ye Mei's step forward was interrupted by Gao Wenhua The words stopped him in place, he was stunned on the spot, tears welling up in his eyes helplessly.
Seeing Ye Mei like this, Gao Wenhua sobered up a lot and slumped back to the ground. He was not really crazy, he just wanted an outlet to vent his frustration and shame in that yard.
He is a man, a man who has read the books of sages. He is arrogant and elegant. After being frustrated in officialdom, his successive successes in coming to Tianniu Prefecture have made him a little greedy. He realizes that everything in the world is nothing more than what is written in the books of sages. , he is confident that he can defeat most people in his field of expertise.
However, just now, in Qingzhu Garden, he was castrated alive in front of Ah Mei, and then thrown out of the yard like a dead dog. Even Ah Mei was thrown out by them, and Not only could he not resist, he could not even protect the woman around him.
Nothing can destroy a man's dignity more than this situation.
Therefore, this catharsis is not just about venting something, but more like making up for the resistance that did not appear in Qingzhu Garden before, using the method of beating things and getting angry, as if going back to the past, against the man who had been sitting on the stone bench. A kind of resistance that proves that one is not so cowardly and incompetent.
Ye Mei's eyes turned red as she slowly walked forward and sat down next to Gao Wenhua obediently. Gao Wenhua stretched out his hand and stroked her head.
"Sorry, I just lost my temper."
"I understand." Ye Mei snuggled into Gao Wenhua's arms and buried her head deeply into his chest, covering up the anger in her eyes.
"I'll leave in a moment and won't be back tonight. I, Gao Wenhua, have some reputation in Tianniu and Heijiao. I will definitely make him pay for his arrogance. After I go out to operate, I will find A master will come to help me, and I must make his life worse than death, in order to relieve the hatred in my heart." Gao Wenhua said through gritted teeth.
"Gao Lang doesn't need to worry too much. There is no shortage of magic medicine in this world that can bring life and death to human flesh and bones. This place of fireworks already gathers information from all three religions and nine streams in the world. I will pay attention to you. I recently caught up with the gold and stone trade fair. If The timing is just right and Gao Lang will be able to regain his glory."
Ye Mei's words made Gao Wenhua feel warm in his heart, "Yes, if you really care, you will be confused. How could I forget about the gold and stone trade fair? Mei Mei, you need to pay attention to this matter for me. I need to find someone to help me." As soon as possible, I don’t know how long these people will stay in Fengming Pavilion, and now is not the time to alert the enemy, so everything must be done quickly, and we must avenge them before they leave."
"Gao Lang will definitely need money and materials to carry out this matter. You should take these with you first. It should be enough for you for a while. I will keep some for emergencies. If you can have some at the gold and stone trade fair, What you harvested is just enough to be taken together.”
Gao Wenhua gently pushed Ye Mei away. In the past, during this tender time, he should have kissed Ye Mei. Unfortunately, now he is more than willing and weak. It is in this tender time of rubbing ears and temples that, for him, It is also a kind of torture, empty, reminding myself all the time.
"Without further ado, Ah Mei, I'm leaving first."
Gao Wenhua picked up the banknote and left in a hurry. Ye Mei stood up, walked to the door, and watched Gao Wenhua leave. After a while, she packed up and walked out of the yard, heading straight to the main building. She wanted to find Wu Honglian. Although Ye Mei admired Gao Wenhua, But she also knew the people around him, and she didn't have much hope for Gao Wenhua.
On the contrary, Wu Honglian's side is more reliable.
…
Early the next morning, Cao An and others walked out of Fengming Pavilion and took Li Dou'er for a stroll. Cao An and Chang Qing headed towards the gold and stone trade fair. This was an exchange meeting for warriors. Cao An had always been interested in this kind of exchange. Traders have a strong sense of curiosity.
With the strong financial resources of the Jinshi Chamber of Commerce, the trade fair directly set up a square to operate. In the streets and alleys, there are various stalls everywhere, including ores, weapons, martial arts books, formation materials, etc., a dazzling array of things. , Cao An has not seen so many cultivation resources in the past few years since he traveled to Da Yin.
He was very interested but didn't want to buy it. It was true that these things could not arouse Cao An's desire to buy.
Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by several puppets not far ahead. They were four fifth-level martial arts realm puppets. Yanshi was scarce, but in the whole world, this number was still huge. Several five-level puppets were The super puppets would not have moved Cao An, if not for the fact that they were made by his own hands.
He had sold a batch of puppets, but that was a long time ago. He was really short of money, so he used a batch of puppets in exchange for some transportation expenses, but he didn't expect that he would be able to go around again today at the Gold and Stone Fair. Seeing my own work, a strange sense of intimacy comes over me.
Heavenly Sword Song Que, Sword Master Wuming, Jinlun Dharma King, and Fengyun, there are five statues in total. Judging from the energy on them, they have been used and are not in a complete state. Moreover, when these were made, Cao An's own cultivation level It's not high either, and can only display the strength of the fifth-grade martial arts realm.
"The customer has good eyesight. These five puppets are all real level five puppets. Do you want them? For sale at a low price." Their current owner is a one-armed man with a long knife on his back, and his whole body is wrapped in black oilcloth. With.
"Are you a martial artist from the Yin Jianghu?"
"Yes, oh, is the guest also a great Yin warrior? Judging from his attire, he should be. Since he is a great Yin warrior, he should know the value of these five puppets. These are the few members of the Baiyujing Cao clan who are not exposed much. Zun Puppet, Yanshi Cao An, I believe you must have heard of this name. I don’t need to tell you about his value. And you should know from this name that there is no other family except that person’s handiwork.” A smile on his face.
"I'll just take a look." This feeling of being praised in person is a bit weird.
It was at this time that a voice suddenly sounded from beside him: "I want these puppets."
Cao An turned around and saw at a glance that this person was Jiang Fan whom he met in front of the ruined temple. Among the three of them, he was not impressed by the beautiful senior sister and the talkative He Suoqi, but he was more impressed by the silent one. Jiang Fan was more impressed. At this moment, he had a familiar aura on his body.
Looking down, he saw the ox jade hanging on Jiang Fan's waist, and he was convinced that he was the one he chose in the end.
Cao An did not hide his gaze, so Jiang Fan also noticed his gaze, and tucked up the hem of his clothes without leaving a trace, covering Yujue.
"Senior, we meet again."
"Yes, we meet each other everywhere in life, and we will meet again if we are destined."
"Senior, have you also taken a fancy to the puppets in front of you?" Jiang Fan raised his head, showing some arrogance and stubbornness. This was what Lin Rui reminded him. Originally, he thought he could easily win, but he didn't expect that he could take down the puppets easily. The man who rejected Grandpa Lin actually took the lead. If he really wanted to take action, he would probably miss out on this thing.
Grandpa Lin said that although these puppets are only at the fifth level, they are undoubtedly the best life-saving cards for him now. If he can win them, he can even survive in the sixth level of heavenly realm. He said that the power of these five fifth-grade puppets is far greater than that of ordinary puppets.
"No, just take a look. You can go about your business. See you later." Cao An shook his head and left the stall. Jiang Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and then secretly felt lucky that he had Lin Rui's help. He probably didn't even know that he had missed it. What's the matter? Just because it's an ordinary puppet and relying on his own cultivation, he doesn't like this puppet at all.
"I thought that after being rejected by us, he would choose that girl or someone more lively." Chang Qing also saw it.
Cao An smiled: "Not surprising. If I had to choose, I would choose him, but this relationship may not be perfect."
Chang Qing took over the conversation and said, "Things in this world are not perfect. Have you noticed something?"
"Because Jiang Fan is the absolute standard template for 'ordinary people'."
He didn't say much. After this sentence, he stopped commenting on others, and instead turned his attention to other stalls. These were all clearly marked with prices. Cao An didn't feel that he was the chosen one. In his memory, buying After so many years of playing lottery, I have never won once, and I don’t even have the slightest intention of picking up the slack.
It was a blast to watch. The market is very large, and martial arts vendors from neighboring countries also followed the call of the gold and stone trade fair, so that there were so many things that Cao An had never seen before, and there were also a lot of elixirs. It seems that the most popular ones are also elixirs. Compared with the medicine stalls, there were very few customers in front of the weapons and martial arts stalls.
"If I had learned some knowledge from a pharmacist, I should have had another way to make a living, so I wouldn't have starved to death."
Chang Qing was stunned for a moment, "Is the young master short of money? Chang Qing has sold off the things he accumulated over the years, and he still has some wealth, which should be able to support the young master's expenses." Chang Qing is also a bit lacking in confidence, and he does have sufficient funds. , but there is a high probability that the value of something that Cao An likes will not be too low.
"No, it's just a casual emotion."
The two stopped in front of a bookstall. What attracted Cao An to stop was the small characters he wrote in front of the bookstall.
【Central Empire】
The stall owner is a middle-aged man with a pair of gloomy eyes and gray hair. He looks a little inconsistent with the age shown on his face. He is dressed as a scholar, not to mention that his appearance is similar to that of Gao Wenhua who was castrated by Chang Qing. There are some similarities, at least, they are both equally handsome.
"Do you want to take a look at the exercises? These are all practice treasures from the Central Empire. But there is one thing. Anyone who buys these exercises from here will not be responsible for any problems in the future. This is Da Yin, which is far away from the Central Empire. The empire is still a long way away, so as long as we don’t leave Da Yin and wander around in the central empire, there won’t usually be any big problems.”
The man added in a calm tone...
