The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 211 - The Black Market
The door of Ho Xiuhan's room was forcefully broken down, with Xin Fai entering the man's room with a suspicious look. He saw right in front of him the owner of the room was kneeling with both hands holding a sword, about to stab himself.
"Armghh!"
"What are you doing-!?" Xin Fai then moved quickly to hold the sword so as not to take Ho Xiuhan's life, but when his hand held the man's sword an evil energy came out just like that. The sword itself was about to kill its owner.
"Mr Swordsman, this is not what I want to kill myself like this!" The man was frightened and anxious at one time, he tried to hold his hand that moved by himself. Want to stick a sword eye on a tattoo in the form of a seal on his chest.
Xin Fai read the situation first, he had never learned the sealing science of the Lotus Temple even though that stance was much needed at the moment. Judging from his eyes, it appeared that Ho Xiuhan was maintaining his consciousness in order not to be taken by the demons within him to kill himself. It turned out that the demon knew what they wanted to do and did not let that happen.
Having no other way, Xin Fai made Ho Xiuhan faint first and it was quite useful for at least the next few hours.
As Ho Xiuhan fainted, the young man looked for a way to make sure he remained alive until he arrived at the Lotus Temple.
After bringing five people from the Sacred Sword Alliance with him to Ho Xiuhan's room, Xin Fai advised that they take care of the man while he was away for a while.
Zhu Yue had just managed to buy a horse, although the quality was not as good as what Yong Tao had bought but it was already quite good. He stroked the horse proudly, successfully doing his job Zhu Yue intended to re-enter the building not so far from the Mayor's house. Just now he was whistling the figure of the young man walking outside in such a hurry.
"Chairman! Is something bad going on?" Zhu Yue could clearly see that Xin Fai was preoccupied with a problem.
"Oh, you're back by chance. Now we're going to the black market."
The two immediately rode on horseback, speeding through the city streets until arriving in a narrow passage filled with trash. Such a deceptive place, that was how Zhu Yue thought. He came in when the door was opened by a burly man who did not seem to mind much about anyone who came.
Arriving inside a scene that was much different from the welcoming city, some merchants sold rare items that were difficult to find and even sold at a cheaper price than their usual price. Some space rings, stealth fangs and also swords made using meteorite rocks are displayed so beautifully.
Zhu Yue shook her head in disbelief, for a lifetime she had never gone to this place.
"Dam... The items here are of course illegal, let alone they sell them much cheaper." Zhu Yue faced Xin Fai for a moment. "Chairman, if I may know from where do you know a place like this?"
"I had bought information from a person named Xu Ming, in fact this information was only a bonus. He said that if I pass through this town, I can stop by for a moment to see things that might be useful."
"I see, so what are you looking for here?"
"Sort of sealing to curb the demons in Ho Xiuhan's body."
"There really is?" zhu Yue asked puzzledly, she did not know of this.
"This market is so vast, we don't know it exists or not before looking for it. That's why I brought you here, you search over there and I'll search here."
Zhu Yue nodded in understanding, she immediately walked down the street to the right while wondering at the nearby merchants.
While Xin Fai walked around while occasionally stopping to observe the strange objects that were being traded, even the most dangerous poison was sold in this place with a range of ten gold pieces.
Some items from other Empires were now there, one of the old ladies who looked like a magic granny knocked on the table slowly while pulling the corner of her lips as Xin Fai passed by.
"The poor young man..."
"That body of yours, is filled with an aura of darkness. It is only fitting that until now you are still alone, I can predict your life in the future." The woman paused for a moment, a mysterious look perfectly plastered on her face. "You'll live in loneliness."
Lazily Xin Fai responded. "Aren't you just looking for a promotion? No need to use it that way."
"Hahahaha you're the first customer to say that! Ah, if you don't mind stopping by for a second. I have one great item that will change the course of your life so bleak!"
Xin Fai said, after all, breaking away from the old grandmother seems difficult. He had been selling things for years and had a thousand ways to keep his customers from running away.
After Xin Fai stood right in front of the table where her belongings were placed, the old granny picked up a black hair clip. Then his head was filled with many question marks looking at the object.
"This thing is believed for decades to be useful, will I tell you how this thing works?"
"Hey, don't waste my time, it's just a girls' hairpin–"
"Shut up!"
Xin Fai swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth, knowing this was better that she ignored the old grandmother.
Finally, without being asked by the grandmother to tell a story where a young man whose life was filled with the word lonely, he never found a true love figure until it was met with this hairpin, and make him a person admired by many women even until he is old though.
Hearing it Xin Fai already knew the story was just a joke, there was no way the story could actually happen let alone see the grandmother telling it while thinking. But because he had no other choice, he just silenced himself until the grandmother stopped storytelling.
"Hows it? You interested in this hairpin?"
Xin Fai yawned for a while, she was unwilling to extend the flow of the debate any longer. "Yes... Yes, I bought. How much?"
"Enough one hundred gold pieces! No problem." Grandma said it.
"What's right, a hundred? Just a hairpin like this, after all I'm a boy, where is it possible to wear something like this?" Xin Fai grumbled, it certainly could only be in the heart. He wanted to get out of this place immediately without disagreeing with the old grandmother.
One hundred pieces of gold were thrust away, Xin Fai received the hairpin with a heavy heart until the grandmother returned to give directions.
"You should wear it, young man. So that the hairpin works faster!"
"I'll wear it when I get back." Xin Fai stuffed the hairpin hurriedly into her pocket, but the grandmother held back.
"If you don't wear it, take your gold back."
Xin Fai was at a loss for words, she knew the granny was getting angry and then only with an increasingly fiery annoyance did she put the flops in her hair.
"Have, satisfied?"
"Well, you seem to be getting sweeter wearing that."
