When the shop owner explained the reason, Skylark felt that it was the same. Moreover, with his status, he was sure that the shop owner wouldn't ask for a random price.
Besides, he had already spoken to Orochimaru. If he took back his words for this little money, he, Skylark, felt that he had to be shameless. He really couldn't do it.
Therefore, Skylark gritted his teeth and handed the 1.5 million taels of silver to the shop owner."Alright, then pack them all up."
The shop owner was naturally in a very happy mood after doing such a big business. He took the banknote and looked at it with a smile. Then, he said,"It's not common to see such a large amount of money. I'll go and find some money for you now.”
It didn't take long for the shop owner to give Yunque the 1.5 million taels of silver. Yunque counted it and found that the amount matched, so she packed it up and helped Orochimaru tie up the books before handing them over to him.
Then, Skylark pointed at Orochimaru and said to the shop owner,""This little guy is a good friend of my sister, and he's also my half-brother. If he comes to the shop in the future and needs any books, just put them on my tab and send them to my house.”
The shop owner first glanced at Orochimaru, who often wandered around his bookstore, then smiled at Skylark and said,"Alright, of course I trust your credibility, Young Master. I'll remember this. In the future, if this customer wants any books, just come to my shop to look for them. If there aren't any, I'll also buy them for him.”
Hearing the shop owner's words, Skylark nodded. This shop owner was really good at talking. No wonder his business was getting better and better.
Then, Skylark patted Orochimaru's head and said,""Did you hear that?"
Orochimaru's gaze was still as calm as ever, but he didn't refuse. Instead, he calmly said,""I heard it…"
Skylark nodded. After bidding farewell to the shop owner, she left the bookstore with Orochimaru.
After closing the door, Skylark smiled and said,""I see that you can't wait to go back and read your books. Then I won't waste your time here.”
Orochimaru nodded and turned to leave without saying anything.
However, he had only taken two steps when he stopped. He turned to look at Skylark and asked,"Why did you buy me a book?”
When Skylark heard Orochimaru's question, she also looked at the top book of the bundle of books in Orochimaru's hands. The title of the book was " Introduction to Chakra Energy Purification."
Then, Skylark smiled and said,"I think you have a lot of potential. You will become an amazing ninja in the future. I see you as half a brother.”
After Orochimaru heard Skylark's words, he whispered softly,""Half a brother…What?"
Yunque also smiled and didn't say anything more to him. She waved her hand and said,"Go back and study properly, Orochimaru.”
After saying that, Skylark turned around and was about to leave. At this moment, he suddenly heard Orochimaru say," Thank you, Big Brother Yunque."
This surprised Skylark a little. When he turned around, Orochimaru was already walking back home with his book.
Looking at Orochimaru's back, Skylark's lips curled into a smile. No one knew what she was thinking.
"I previously agreed to buy takoyaki for that little girl. I just happened to come out. I'll go and bring some for her, lest she torments me again when she goes back..." Skylark turned around and walked two steps before suddenly remembering this and muttering to himself.
After that, the 'wealthy' him turned in the direction of the food street without hesitation. He did not believe that buying takoyaki would cost him a huge sum of 140,000 taels.
At the same time, while Skylark went to buy takoyaki, in the Hidden Fog Village of the Water Nation, Ghost Lamp and Cold Moon were also in the office of First Generation Mizuki Shadow. They seemed to be reporting something.
The first generation, White Lotus, was a guy with an injured left eye. He was one of the five shadows that pacified the chaotic world. He single-handedly established the Hidden Fog Village of the Country of Water. He was very powerful and had an aggressive spirit. Otherwise, he would not have coveted the Seven Tail Shigemei and wanted to secretly bring that beast to their Hidden Fog Village as a secret weapon.
"In the end, the mission still failed.”Bai Lian said softly.
"I'm extremely sorry, Lord Shui Ying!" Ghost Lamp and Cold Moon also lowered their heads and said in self-reproach.
"This isn't your fault, Lengyue. After all, according to the information, this should have been Hidden Dragon Village's matter. I also didn't expect that Muye's people would get involved. Yuanfei Sasuke was a formidable character to begin with. His son, Yuanfei Ri Zhan, was also a decent ninja. In the end, even the Thousand Hand Pillars also got involved.”White Lotus did not blame him. Instead, he spoke in a very dignified manner.
Upon hearing this, Ghost Lamp and Cold Moon said,"Other than that, that little fellow from the Thousand Hands family is also worth paying attention to. In my opinion, his potential is extraordinary. His personality seems to be very decisive, and he has a ruthlessness that is not afraid of death.”
At this point, he paused and frowned slightly. Then, he said with some doubt,"However, what's puzzling is that he seems to have some misgivings about 'water'. In the few times we fought, he tried his best to avoid coming into contact with water.”
White Lotus, the first generation of Mu Shui Ying, also smiled. He did not take it to heart and said," The Thousand Hands family's 'Number One Ninja Speed' possesses countless powerful Ninjutsu techniques. Perhaps that kid has been traumatized by the lesson. You said that his aptitude is not bad, but he's still young. Times are different now. We can't send someone to assassinate him, right? How about this? Just keep an eye on him and don't cause any trouble.”
After saying this, White Lotus paused for a moment and then said,""I'm already old enough, and I'm thinking of retiring early to rest. Our Hidden Fog Village is gradually on the right track, and I've almost done what I should do.”
Ghost Lamp and Cold Moon heard White Lotus 'words and immediately said,""How can our Shadowmist Village leave you, Lord Shuiying? My brother is also afraid that he won't be able to live up to your expectations and lead the village to become stronger. That's why he's hesitant.”
"If you don't do it, how will you know if you can do it well? Did he not have confidence in himself? He has the ability to do these things well and is also qualified to become the second generation of the Hidden Fog Village. When you go back, you have to mention this matter more!”Bai Lian smiled and said.
Ghost Lamp Leng Yuele was not willing to let his big brother Ghost Lamp Huan Yue be the village chief? It would be strange if he was not happy. Once his big brother Ghost Lamp Fantasy Moon became the second generation, the Ghost Lamp Clan's status in the Hidden Fog Village would definitely become higher. Naturally, he would also be the same. He would even be able to grasp more power. Why not?
Therefore, Ghost Lamp and Cold Moon nodded and said softly,"Yes, Lord Shui Ying, I will persuade my elder brother.”
White Lotus nodded and said,""Although you're not to blame for the failure of this mission, since your identity has been exposed, we have to give Mu Ye an explanation. How about this, I'll tell Mu Ye that this was your personal action. Announce to the public that you've been sent to Cold Water Cliff Pass for three months of confinement. Therefore, Lengyue, during this period of time, don't leave the village…"
Ghost Lamp and Cold Moon did not have any objections and nodded in agreement.
After dealing with all these matters, he quickly returned home. Then, he saw his elder brother, Phantom Lantern, playing with something in the pond in the courtyard.
Ghost Lamp and Cold Moon walked over when they saw this. Before they could speak, Ghost Lamp and Cold Moon's voice entered his ears.
"I heard that you failed this mission? You even exposed your identity?" Ghost Lamp and Mystic Moon said softly.
"I'm sorry for bringing shame to the Ghost Lamp family.”Ghost Lamp and Cold Moon said in a deep voice.
"Hahahaha, that's nothing. How can a ninja not fail? I was just asking casually to mock you.”Ghost Lamp and Fantasy Moon laughed.
Ghost Lamp and Cold Moon were speechless when they saw their elder brother's shameless behavior. Then, he said,"Just now, Lord Shui Ying asked me to bring a message to you, brother. He said that…"
"Alright, alright. The old master just wants to retire and let me take over his position. I understand without you saying it.”Ghost Lamp and Moon Illusion smiled as he waved his hand to stop Ghost Lamp and Moon Illusion from continuing.
"Elder brother, the position of Shui Ying…" Ghost Lamp and Cold Moon looked at their elder brother's attitude and asked in confusion.
"Lengyue, this is Old Master testing me. Do you really think he wants to retire? He wanted to see if he could take this final step with a steady heart. Only by truly stabilizing his heart would he be considered to have passed this test and be qualified to be the Water Shadow of the Hidden Fog Village. If he couldn't even hold back his anger, would he be able to give the position to him without worry if it were him?”Ghost Lamp, Fantasy Moon smiled and said.
Ghost Lamp and Cold Moon were stunned for a moment before saying,"Then what do you mean, brother?"
" Sigh, don't think that the old man is in a good condition now. He's just forcing himself to hold on. Those internal injuries in the past will never heal. In my opinion, the old man doesn't have much time left. In this final moment, let him leave in peace. Let him know that he didn't make a mistake in choosing me. I'm very patient and can keep my temper.”Ghost Lamp and Illusionary Moon said with some emotion.
After saying that, Ghost Lamp and Moon seemed to be interested again. He said to Ghost Lamp and Moon,"Oh right, I found an interesting little guy in the lake where I stayed before Sanwei Jifu. Come and take a look..."
Ghost Lamp and Cold Moon took a few steps forward and looked at the strange-looking guy swimming around in the pool. Before he could speak, Ghost Lamp and Cold Moon said,"This little fellow is quite interesting. I named him 'Shark'…"
