THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
128: The Demon Woman Robbed my Spirit Stone
Looking at the people kneeling by the river, Jiang Hao smiled. Those people worship the river god as a thank you for saving the child. He doesn't mind.
Not that he was afraid to take compliments. He just didn't want to leave a trace. It would be hard to do so.
Adults scold children for being careless. Jiang Hao turned around and left. It is impossible for parents to always supervise their children, especially when they are poor and have to work.
As the sky started to darken, inexplicably Jiang Hao found himself back in his old house. He stood in front of the door for a while and hesitated. Finally, he knocked on the door lightly.
The old woman who opened the door recognized Jiang Hao. But when he wanted to invite her in, he shook his head. “No, I've come to ask you both for help.”
"Wait a minute." The old woman turned around and shouted, “Honey, hurry up!”
His voice was not loud and sounded a bit tense. When someone answered from within, the old woman looked back at Jiang Hao with a smile. “Ingatanku not too good.”
Jiang Hao smiled and nodded, showing his understanding. Immediately, the old man came out and looked at Jiang Hao in surprise. “Young man, is there something you need?”
Jiang Hao hesitated for a moment. “If anyone from the Jiang family comes here in the future, can I trouble you two to get my message across to them?”
"What's that?" asked the old man curiously.
Jiang Hao was silent for a moment. “Please tell them that their son is still alive. Although it was difficult, I did it well. Also, please tell them that I do not hate or blame them in any way.”
The old couple was very surprised to hear that.
“If anyone comes here, I will definitely tell him,” said the old man. “Even if we die or leave here, we will entrust that task to others. Rest assured.'
Jiang Hao bowed and thanked them. Then he turned and left. He has done everything he can. He has tried his best. Now, his mind was completely free of distractions. He won't regret it when he leaves tomorrow.
However, there was one lie in his words. He really hates them. But this hatred is strange. Was he upset because they sold him, or because they left so quickly without waiting for him to return? He could not distinguish the two.
The next day, Jiang Hao left the inn with Hong Yuye. That morning, a second stone tablet had been thrown at him, probably to attract the attention of others. He was the bait set up by Hong Yuye, waiting for another fish to fall into the trap. In contrast to fishing in general, Hong Yuye, as an angler, had no intention of exerting any manpower. The feed is expected to solve the problem by itself.
Jiang Hao did not mind. In fact, he was willing to do it. PO Lang had given him several thousand spiritual stones overnight, and even if others were not that rich, he could still earn a large income.
‘No wonder people like to get out of the sect.’ However, Jiang Hao understood that the risk was also greater outside of the sect.
Shaking his head, Jiang Hao paid and left the inn.
"Thank you for staying with us. Please visit again,” said the inn owner.
For a moment, he felt quite prosperous in the city, completely free from the financial constraints resulting from the affairs of the sect. However, he still felt that he did not have enough spiritual stones to spend. Fortunately, he managed to get good results from the robbery, so his wealth increased significantly. Thinking about it made her quite happy.
“Some thousand spirit stones make you happy?” Hong Yuye asked as he held the oil paper umbrella.
Jiang Hao touched his face consciously. 'Am I so clear? Am I smiling or what?'
He doesn't worry about what others think of him. He can stay calm around them. However, before Hong Yuye, Poison Gu of Heaven Extinction lost its effect. He became agitated near her. It was no wonder he could see her emotions.
"NO." Jiang Hao shook his head.
It was midday, and Hong Yuye walked slowly under the sun with an umbrella covering her head.
“If you continue to receive more spirit stones, will you become more arrogant?” he asked casually.
Jiang Hao did not know how he would change if he had more spiritual stones. But he would definitely refrain from doing anything stupid. A few thousand or tens of thousands of spiritual stones would not cause a significant change to his attitude.
“No, because I still need to buy you some good tea, Senior,” said Jiang Hao humbly. “This spiritual stone is not enough.”
“Three thousand to ten thousand,” replied Jiang Hao without hesitation.
Hong Yuye stopped walking and looked at Jiang Hao. “It is an extreme market price. Will the pill sell for seven thousand spirit stones?”
"Maybe."
“How much is Azure Red tea price?” Hong Yuye asked.
“Ten thousand spirit stones for 1 kg,” said Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao had a bad feeling about this. “So, you obtained about three thousand spirit stones from PO Lang. If you sell those pills for seven thousand, you will have a total of ten thousand spirit stones. Remember to buy me a good tea, so I won't oppose you for twice serving me a lower quality tea leaf.'
After saying that, Hong Yuye walked forward. He did not even give Jiang Hao the chance to refuse. Jiang Hao stood still, feeling like he had fallen from a height to the bottom of the valley in an instant.
Jiang Hao sighed and followed Hong Yuye. No matter how many spirit stones he obtained, it seemed like he could not be happy in this life.
He only hoped that Hong Yuye would not give him a new task with the spirit stones he obtained later.
“Oh, by the way,” said Hong Yuye from the front. “Remember to save the previous teapot and use it to make tea in the future.”
"All right." Jiang Hao nodded. He had kept the tea set this morning and stored it to brew tea on their way.
Being on the side of a strong individual meant not having to worry about safety, but he still had to do things on his own.
“And remember to unite the two tablets of stone,” said Hong Yuye.
Jiang Hao nodded. He wondered what was behind the stone. He could judge them when they rested later. No need to rush.
For some reason, he did not dare to use the Daily Valuation casually in front of him
Hong Yuye's.
With his intelligence and strength, he probably knew the function of the divine ability of the man.
“Do you have any more leads, Senior?” Jiang Hao asked.
As they walked out of the Fallen City, Jiang Hao momentarily looked back. However, he did not feel as nostalgic as before.
“Nothing for now, but finding another one will reveal some information,” Hong Yuye said calmly.
He glanced at Jiang Hao. “Do you feel reluctant to leave this city?”
“I.. not really,” said Jiang Hao. “Nothing else in this city has got me tied.”
After all, his stepmother and father were no longer here anymore. Jiang Hao harbored hopes that he might have a younger brother someday.
But now…
There was no one in this town that he cared about.
There really isn't a single person.
Hong Yuye stared at Jiang Hao a few seconds longer. He was a little surprised because he did not lie this time.
Then, the two of them quickly left the main road..
