Chapter 2212 - 2212 Li Fire Xuan Painting
2212 Li Fire Xuan Painting
“This Zhen Bao Pavilion was established by Master himself. Not to mention closing the shop… Even if he burns all the items here, Master can just do it as he wishes. I know that the Seventh Deity thinks very highly of you, but even if he comes here himself, he can’t go up to the second floor. Please think about this carefully.”
Originally, Ming Shu was advising them kindly, but Mu Yafeng and her sister’s attitude displeased him.
The reason why he was so polite was just giving Jin Yunlai face. However, it was a pity Mu Yafeng did not seem to notice this.
She hadn’t completed the Star Path and started to put herself on a pedestal. What a joke.
Although Ming Shu did not say this explicitly, his expression was very obvious.!!
Mu Yafeng felt that her face burned, as if someone harshly slapped her.
She had been in Fantasy Divine Palace for so many years. As the Seventh Deity backed her up, other people always had a polite attitude toward her. It was the first time someone rebutted her to her face.
Yet, the other party was really someone she could not afford to offend.
“T-then… we’ll come back again another day—”
“Bye, Ms. Mu. I won’t see you off.”
Ming Shu’s nonchalant sentence almost choked Mu Yafeng.
She hurriedly bade him farewell, pulled the person beside her, and left.
The atmosphere on the first floor instantly became awkward and stiff. Very quickly, the others slowly left.
In no time, only Chu Liuyue trio were left on the first floor.
It wasn’t that they had other ideas; they just didn’t want to make a wasted trip. Anyway, the master-servant trio had magnanimous hearts.
“Master, I want this, this, and this.” Xiao Ba pointed at a few herbs on the long cabinet.
Chu Liuyue raised her eyebrows slightly. “You really know how to choose.”
All of them were good items with high prices.
Xiao Ba blinked. “Master, are you buying it for me then?”
Chu Liuyue knocked on her forehead lightly. “Sure.”
Once she said this, Ming Shu’s voice—which was filled with admiration—came from the side. “Miss, you really have good taste!”
Chu Liuyue turned around and saw that Ming Shu had come to their side at some point.
Chu Liuyue: “…”
Didn’t this Lord Ming look very arrogant just now? Why did he suddenly become so passionate in the blink of an eye? With Zhen Bao Pavilion’s status… he doesn’t seem like he needs to try his best and praise me, right?
However, these thoughts just flashed across her mind. Since the other party gave her face, she naturally welcomed it.
Chu Liuyue’s red lips curled up slightly. “Zhen Bao Pavilion’s items are naturally great.”
Ming Shu smiled and cupped his fists. “I’m Ming Shu, and I’ve long heard of your name, Miss Shangguan. I’m very happy to see you today. Take a look, and let me know whatever you want. If it’s not here, there are quite a few in the inventory.”
Chu Liuyue: “…”
This Lord Ming seems… a little too passionate, right? This is a completely different attitude compared to when he talked to Mu Yafeng previously.
“…Thank you, Lord Ming. We came here because we’ve long heard of the name. As for what we want to specifically buy, we have to look for some time. Why don’t… you go and busy yourself first?”
Ming Shu chuckled. “I’m not busy, not busy. Aren’t only the few of you left in the whole store?”
Chu Liuyue: “Then… I’ll thank you in advance, Lord Ming.”
“What’s there to thank!?” Ming Shu waved his hands and walked to the long cabinet filled with precious herbs. “Look. This sky-facing flower was grown for a thousand years, and we just plucked it back—it’s very fresh. And this spirit bamboo was specifically grown with icy fountain. Its herbal effects are pure.”
Xiao Ba’s pretty eyes lit up. “Master, these are truly good items!”
Speaking of which, they were much more precious than those soul sky berries!
Chu Liuyue coughed. She naturally knew that these were rare treasures, but the price…
“Lord Ming, may I ask what I need to exchange for these items?”
Before she came, Xiao Ran had already stated that Zhen Bao Pavilion didn’t accept money. One could only exchange item for item.
Even though she had quite a few items with her, there really wasn’t much she could produce to exchange.
Ming Shu laughed out loud. “Miss Shangguan, if you want these items, you don’t have to take anything out to exchange. You just have to do me a favor.”
“What favor?”
“Miss Shangguan, I heard that you’re very talented as a Xuan Master, so I want to ask you to help me copy a scroll.”
Chu Liuyue instantly understood. “A Xuan formation drawing?”
“That’s right.” Ming Shu nodded.
Actually, this was nothing new. There were countless Xuan formations in the world, but normal people couldn’t copy a Xuan formation for people to study in the future. Only a sufficiently strong Xuan Master could do it.
But…
“There are so many Xuan Masters in Fantasy Divine Palace, and they’re more advanced and way stronger than me. Lord Ming, why did you pick me?”
Ming Shu smiled and said, “Naturally because… you have the strongest talent currently in the entire Fantasy Divine Palace.”
As if reading her doubts, he continued to explain, “Before you, the most outstanding person was Mu Yafeng. However, your previous performance on the Star Path crushed her completely. Hence, we’re more assured to pass you this task.”
In other words, Mu Yafeng had no right.
Chu Liuyue thought for a moment and felt that this did make sense. “Then… you want me to copy a Great King Xuan Master-level Xuan formation?”
“No.” Ming Shu shook his head and said carefully, “It’s the ‘Li Fire Xuan Painting.'”
