The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 139

Chapter 139 : Man in a Blue Shirt

The QingQiu mountain range was the domain of the Qing Cheng Sect as they owned the entire area.

The Grand Master of the Qing Cheng Sect, Luo ChengYuan, was a very shrewd man. He was also very good in business. He had opened up the areas in the QingQiu mountain range that received the most traffic, setting up a few towns and cities. He allowed the other forces and merchants to set up shops and conduct trade as long as they pay the specified amount of rent.

These cities and towns developed very quickly. At this moment, the most famous one was Qing City.

Qing City’s name was more well-known than HunJi City. Although the flow of people was probably less than HunJi City, the quantity of people was usually more. Furthermore, the treasures that couldn’t be found in HunJi City could be found in Qing City.

This time, the information that Ling Xiao got was about Qing City. In three days, Little PiQiu’s provisions, the Thousand Spirit Earth Sheep would appear in Qing city. Furthermore, it was not just one sheep, causing many to head over there.

Thousand Spirit Earth Sheep were very attractive to practitioners so when the time came, the competition would be very fierce.

After getting this information, You XiaoMo started to make the preparations.

According to the information obtained by Ling Xiao, the Thousand Spirit Earth Sheep would be sold by auction. So he had to ensure that he had enough gold coins.

In order to hasten the growth of Little PiQiu, You XiaoMo decided to put in enough capital this time. He decided to use up the remaining gold coins in his magic bag. After all, he already had enough magic herb seeds for now. He didn’t have to buy anymore for the time being. But he is still worried that there isn’t enough gold coins, so he decided to sell a little more magic pills the next time he went down the mountain.

Besides this matter, Ling Xiao also told him about what was happening in HunJi City.

He already had the map of the Paradise Realm in his hands but, just like the manager said, it was really only an incomplete map. Luckily the location of the Dipper Magic Herb was marked on it.

As for Tang Hun, You XiaoMo didn’t even need to guess what happened to him. Based on Ling Xiao’s character, that person was definitely dead. So, after Tang Hun’s death, the manager smoothly assumed his position. Although his power was not enough to convince the masses, it was enough with Ling Xiao at his back. Also, the reason why he let him manage HunJi City was because this person had enough smarts and was capable of reading the current events.

After that, Ling Xiao stayed in HunJi City for two days before coming back. The reason was because although Tang Hun was dead it had caused an awful mess. Some people were bound to object to him giving the position to the manager. So Ling Xiao had to stay there and beat them into submission. He only returned after they became totally subservient, not daring to have any more thoughts of rebellion.

But, by the time he returned, it was only one day away from the time the Thousand Spirit Earth Sheep would appear.

Ling Xiao didn’t go straight to Capital Peak to get him. Instead they agreed to meet in the rest house in HePing town.

Since Fang ChenYue went to YunShui peak, You XiaoMo only told Zhao DaZhou before leaving. He already prepared an excuse that he was going down the mountain to sell magic pills and buy magic herbs. Zhao DaZhou didn’t suspect anything, only telling You XiaoMo that he would help him notify Shifu. You XiaoMo thanked him and headed down the mountain.

After going down the mountain, he headed straight to HePing town and since he was early, he didn’t see Ling Xiao inside the rest house. Unexpectedly, the manager of the rest house recognized him, as if knowing that he was a disciple from the Tian Xin Sect, he greeted him eagerly and invited him to take a seat inside.

There were many people eating in the main hall so it was a little noisy but You XiaoMo didn’t allow the manager to open up a room for him. He was worried that Ling Xiao wouldn’t be able to find him when he came so he didn’t take a room and also, taking a room cost money. The somewhat greedy and somewhat miserly You XiaoMo didn’t want to spend this money.

Due to the matter about the Paradise Realm, it was already a huge topic of discussion and no matter where one went there would be people talking about it.

But You XiaoMo already knew what the Paradise Realm was all about from Ling Xiao so he was not interested in their discussions.

After drinking ten cups of tea, You XiaoMo was hesitating over whether he should go to the toilet when an outburst erupted two tables away, as if some people were having a quarrel. Just as he turned his head and looked over, a black shadow was sent flying. As it happened that shadow was headed straight for him.

You XiaoMo was stunned. Wass this going to involve him, a bystander?

Then he felt someone pulling his arm, making him stagger to one side.

That flying black figure smashed right onto the table and the robust body like an ox immediately turned the whole table into smithereens. How much force must there be to cause this kind of outcome?

You XiaoMo watched this scene with bulging eyes and mouth hanging open. Mother! If it had landed on him, wouldn’t that mean even his bones would be smashed to bits? He suddenly felt very lucky, thanking his lucky stars that he escaped unharmed.

Thinking that Ling Xiao was the one that saved him, You XiaoMo turned his head and said, “Ling-shixiong, you…”

His voice cut off when he saw the man’s face. This fellow was not Ling Xiao and also his looks were a long way off from Ling Xiao, his face covered in pimples…

“Hey man, you’ve got the wrong person. Although my surname is indeed Lin, I don’t remember having such a good shidi. I just saw that you were soon going to be affected by that group of people so I took action. If I offended you in any way, please excuse me!” Seeing that You XiaoMo was mistaken about his identity, the man in a blue shirt didn’t get upset. Instead, his words were rather witty and humorous. His refined and courteous manner actually made You XiaoMo a little embarrassed.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I thought my shixiong has arrived.” You XiaoMo immediately apologized, laughing foolishly.

A sparkle flashed in the eyes of the man with a blue shirt. He smiled while saying, “There’s no harm. If I had such a good-looking shidi, I would smile for many days. That’s right, is your shixiong not here yet?”

“That’s right. Is there a problem?” You XiaoMo asked.

“No problem. Since it’s like this, and since there are no more empty tables, if you don’t mind, we can share a table. After all, I am also by myself. How about it?” The man in a blue shirt hastily waved his hands, afraid that he would suspect that he had another motive. He then extended the invitation in a friendly manner.

You XiaoMo also felt that what he said was reasonable so he didn’t refuse. Just as he opened his mouth to answer him, someone suddenly walked in the door. That person was dressed very luxuriously, with an uncommon air, and a handsome face. The kind of person that would shine no matter where they went. On top of that, the energy he emitted made it clear that he was a strong fighter.

Just when everyone was still guessing who this noble looking man was, You XiaoMo suddenly stood up and waved at him while calling out excitedly, “Ling-shixiong, I’m over here.”

He didn’t notice that the face of the man in a blue shirt next to him changed abruptly when he heard those words, a look of unease and irritation flashed across his face as if he was feeling like ‘the duck in his hand has flown away.’

Ling Xiao walked over, his eyes sweeping past the smashed table on the floor, then shifting to You XiaoMo and the man in a blue shirt. He didn’t say a thing, his gaze finally resting rather playfully on the man in a blue shirt.

The man in a blue shirt felt uncomfortable under his stare as if this man could see right through him, from inside out. He couldn’t help but feel his heart grow cold. This man’s strength was quite a bit higher than his and it looked like this half-cooked duck had really flown away.

Thinking like this, the man in the blue shirt put back the gentle smile on his face and said to You XiaoMo, “My fellow, since your shixiong is here, I won’t disturb the both of you. I also remembered that there is something I have to do so I will be going first. Goodbye.”

You XiaoMo exclaims ‘ah’. He had wanted to introduce him to Ling Xiao. No matter how it was, he was someone that saved his life. But he suddenly remembered one thing, quickly calling him back, “Hey, what is your name?”

The man in a blue shirt’s expression stiffened. He hastily waved his hand, while both his legs showed no signs of slowing down while heading to the door. He said rather insincerely, “It’s only a chance meeting, you doesn’t need to bother.”

You XiaoMo sighed with emotion, “He’s really a good man that doesn’t seek something in return!” As soon as he says these words, the eavesdroppers listening in on their conversation immediately sputter.

They were the ones that wanted to sigh. This boy was obviously the type of idiot that would help to count the money after being sold off. There was no genuine good men in this world and it was even more improbable that there would be people who didn’t ask for something in return. practitioners like them who fought against heaven and men, who among them did not crawl out from grappling inside the mud with their whole bodies covered in dirt?

No one would be good to someone for no reason unless they were really an idiot or they had an ulterior motive. The man in the blue shirt clearly belonged to the second group.

“Yeah. He’s a good man!” Just at this moment, Ling Xiao that had been silent along, suddenly praised him exuberantly, showing all smiles.

Everyone looked at him in shock. They had thought that this man would warn the youth to not easily accept the favors of others. Unexpectedly, he actually agreed with the youth’s opinion. He clearly looked like someone who was very sharp.

The man in the blue shirt was already at the door when he almost missed a step and almost fell down head first. His face was completely shocked. Could it be that he had misjudged the situation?

Just when everyone was speculating wildly, You XiaoMo on the other hand was having doubts. In his mind, Ling Xiao would never praise others casually especially not when he was smiling so sweetly. Something was definitely going on.

The reality proved that his intuition was not wrong. The man in the blue shirt didn’t manage to leave the rest house before he was pulled back by Ling Xiao, acting all ‘you are the benefactor of my xiao shidi, so I have to repay you’. He then continuously offered him wine.

By the time they left the rest house, the man in the blue shirt was already sprawled out, his whole body reeking of wine foaming at the mouth. Seeing that he was unconscious, some people took the opportunity to take away his magic bag.

After that, a new ‘legend’ emerged in the peaceful HePing town. There was a man that had no money to settle his bill so he was beat up badly by the manager of the rest house and stripped of his clothes. Then he was thrown out of the rest house. That man then ran one round in the streets of HePing town completely naked…

You XiaoMo only found out about this matter a long time later. By that time, he had already been instructed by Ling Xiao with both words and deeds.
