2268 The Rocks that They Conned
Some were asking when the young great master was going to come again to sell talismans, while others were inquiring whether this young sir beside her was a spiritual weapon engineer and if he could forge a weapon for them, etc.
The babble gave Qiao Mu a big headache.
Zou Huan, who finally squeezed his way to the two of them, shouted anxiously, “Great, Great Master! D-Does what we talked about earlier, about me learning from you, still, still count? This humble one is w-willing to follow the great master! I-I just hope for pointers from the great master!”
“Do you still have companions in that woman’s private compound? We’ll go rescue them in a bit.” Qiao Mu waved her hand at him. “You go out first. I’ll go find you later!”
The two of them were stuck in the middle of the crowd.
!!
Mo Lian hastily shielded her in his arms against the surging crowd.
“Great Master, Great Master, when will you come to sell storage talismans again!”
“Great Master, Great Master, I am willing to offer a handsome sum to buy another storage talisman, please agree to this humble one’s request!”
“This young sir, Young Sir, are you a spiritual weapon engineer? You are so knowledgeable about the specifics. Could you forge a weapon for this humble one? I am willing to offer a high price!”
“Great Master!”
“Young Sir—”
While everyone was shouting, Mo Lian scooped up his wifey and flew up to the roof. After several leaps, he left the rambunctious crowd in the dust…
Everyone called out wistfully after him, “Young Sir, Young Sir please wait!”
“Great Master, Great Master, when will you come to sell your storage talismans again!”
“Ay, there is no doubt that this person is a spiritual weapon engineer!”
Everybody sighed and looked up in the direction they had departed. They all hung their heads dejectedly.
After Mo Lian circled around with Qiao Mu to throw off any pursuers, he returned to find the youth, Zou Huan.
Seeing that they had indeed come back to find him, Zou Huan beamed from ear to ear, his face suffusing with joy.
“Gr-Great Master! You really came to find me?”
“Come find me at this residence at night, and we’ll go rescue your companions.”
“Okay, okay!!” Zou Huan nodded cheerily.
That compound was only locked up for the time being, so there shouldn’t be much danger.
After getting beaten up, Jiang Hong wouldn’t be able to stir up any trouble for the time being either.
After Qiao Mu bid farewell to the youth, she returned with Mo Lian to their residence.
The moment they entered, the little fellow started pawing at Mo Lian. “Lian, Lian, what are those two pieces of nameless jade? They must be some good stuff, right?”
The moment she saw Mo Lian raise his eyebrow, Qiao Mu knew that those two nameless rocks were definitely rare items.
When she watched him dupe that fire spirit specialty mentor from Jiaqing Academy with a straight face, the little fellow had been resisting a smile.
Mo Lian glanced down at her and then lifted her up to peck her on the cheek. “You want to know?”
“Mhm, mhm. Mhm.”
“Then, give me a kiss!”
Qiao Mu glanced around sheepishly before quickly smooching him on the cheek. “Quickly tell me!”
This little fellow’s kiss was a bit perfunctory.
Even though the crown prince wasn’t satisfied, he still took out those two ordinary jades with a flip of his hand. He put her petite hand over one of them.
“Try injecting a bit of spiritual conscious.”
*Swish—* A crimson spiritual energy glow promptly erupted from one of the jades.
A ball of fire shot up from the rock and engulfed both of them in an instant.
