Under normal circumstances, Ling Ruobing would always have a cold attitude towards strangers or people she wasn't familiar with.
Only when she was facing Yue Qiao 'er, Concubine Ji, and her parents would she show her sincere kindness.
Perhaps it was because she was not very good at communicating with strangers.
If a stranger had teased her like that just now.
That person might not die, but he would be taught a lesson.
She quietly watched the stream that was not rushing. Occasionally, one or two finger-sized fish swam quickly in the stream, and one or two small crabs crawled at the bottom of the stream.
For cultivators, this was a rare peace, and Ling Ruobing enjoyed it very much.
After a while, light footsteps came from behind her.
Immediately after, the voice of her personal maid Yue Qiao 'er also sounded,""Miss, it's lunchtime! I just went to buy some pastries and your favorite flower cake. These pastries should be enough, right?”
Yue Qiao 'er, who was dressed as a servant girl, jogged towards Ling Ruobing.
Yue Qiao 'er was a Houtian Second Sky cultivator. The speed at which she' jogged 'was already comparable to the speed at which ordinary people ran for their lives.
She was carrying a white cloth bag that was tied up with a rope.
The white cloth bag emitted a faint pastry fragrance.
Yue Qiao 'er sat down beside Ling Ruobing.
After looking at the ancient book in Ling Ruobing's hands, Yue Qiao 'er was stunned and asked in surprise,""Miss, could this be the ancient book that you spent a hundred gold coins to buy from that profiteer in the bookshop a few days ago?”
Profiteer? Ling Ruobing smiled when she thought of the young shopkeeper of the bookstore. He was indeed a profiteer.
An ancient book was actually sold for 100 gold coins. She was the only one who didn't like to bargain.
If Qiao 'er was present at that time,
He could probably get ten gold coins.
However, after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't be considered a profiteer, right? Although her purse was not made by a famous craftsman, the material used was very precious.
Just the money pouch alone was worth more than twenty gold coins. If that person was a profiteer, why would he exchange the money pouch with him?
Ling Ruobing looked at the ancient book in her hand, and the cold expression on her face disappeared. She laughed softly and said,"That shopkeeper doesn't seem like a profiteer. Moreover, isn't it always consensual? I think this ancient book is worth a hundred gold coins because it allows me to see a person's true nature.”
Yue Qiao 'er nodded as if she understood something. In fact, she did not understand at all!
She just felt that Miss was being too foolish.
A cultivation secret manual worth 100 gold coins is nothing
It would even make people feel that it was very cheap!
However, an ordinary ancient book was sold for 100 gold coins. Moreover, it was only a hundred-year-old ancient book, not a thousand-year-old ancient book. How could it be worth so much money?
That despicable profiteer actually treated the young miss as a fat sheep to be slaughtered!
Yue Qiao 'er puffed up her cheeks, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
If that profiteer was standing in front of him.
She, Yue Qiao 'er, would definitely let the other party know why the flowers would grow so red!
......
The next day, the Liu Family Bookstore, which was usually cold and cheerless, had two and a half people.
Ling Ruobing placed the dozens of gold coins on the counter. Her expression was cold as she said to Liu Yuan,""I've finished reading the 'Rule of Taiyuan.' Do you have any other ancient books here? It didn't matter if the age was lower than the 'Rule of Taiyuan' as long as it was more than 300 years old.”
She looked at Ling Ruobing in front of her and then at Yue Qiao 'er, who was standing beside Ling Ruobing with her head lowered.
Liu Yuan felt a little strange. Why did this little servant girl not dare to look at him in the eye?
Under Liu Yuan's astonished gaze, Yue Qiao 'er wished she could hide behind Ling Ruobing. Yesterday, she had secretly vowed to let that " profiteer " see why the flowers were so red.
In the end, when she accompanied the young miss here today, she saw that the "profiteer" was a cultivator whose cultivation level she could not see through!
If he could not see through the other party's cultivation, it meant that this 'profiteer' was stronger than him! If he were to make a move, he would definitely be thrown out by the other party, right?
It was also because of this that Yue Qiao 'er, who was extremely ashamed, did not dare to look him in the eye.
Liu Yuan retracted his strange gaze and looked at Ling Ruobing. He smiled and replied,""It's not easy to find ancient books that are more than 300 years old. However, you've found the right place.”
"But why did you buy so many ancient books? Nowadays, not many people liked to read such ordinary ancient books.”
Liu Yuan seemed to be clueless as he "unintentionally" asked.
Ling Ruobing replied expressionlessly,"I'm just interested."”
Liu Yuan smiled and did not reply. He could tell that the other party was lying.
Ling Ruobing's expressionless and clumsy acting.
However, he could not hide it from Liu Yuan, who had lived two lives.
Moreover, Liu Yuan had already guessed it
What exactly was Ling Ruobing trying to do?
He found three ancient books from the bookstore and placed them on the counter.
He then showed the flamboyant characters on the cover of the ancient book to Ling Ruobing and the others.
"Insect observation, poetry collection gifted by Scholar Ning to a friend, Mountain and Sea Scripture, Three-legged Golden Crow, huh?!”Ling Ruobing read the names of the three ancient books in a low voice.
When she read the last book, she suddenly froze.
The clear pupils in her beautiful eyes instantly constricted. An incredulous and incredulous expression could not be concealed on her beautiful face.
