Chapter 2.2 - Protagonist, hello

“Do you want to buy or not?”

Lin Xiao was startled. He discovered that he took something from the stall, he was dumbfounded for a long time.

Murong Xue already walked far away, leaving behind a dazed mass.

When the vendor saw Lin Xiao squatting down to look at his things, he became a little excited. Lin Xiao was wearing fancy clothes, one glance and he knew he had money.

Sure that he could make a profit, the vendor happily looked at Lin Xiao taking an object. His eyes were shining, as if he has seen many dollars appearing before his eyes. (dollar=current RMB, a coin=a dollar)

He didn’t expect that, this youngster wearing fancy clothes before his eyes, would stare at that thing for such a long time, and didn’t even move.

The vendor thought, could it be that the thing in the hand of the youngster was a treasure?

Gazing at him, the vendor became dull.

That was just a mirror!

That’s right, a mediocre mirror.

He was showing things he has picked in the Wild Valley {note1}, because even the expert couldn’t discern if it was a treasure or not. Fifty percent of possibility that it was a treasure, it depended on a person’s luck and eyesight. There were many people who would buy those things to test the luck. If someone has clearly noticed the condition of a certain object and was seen by the vendor, then he was overcharged.

{note1: not sure it’s a name, but better leave it like this}

Naturally, the vendor would put some common toys on the stall, not everyone in this world was a cultivator.

If it was a woman looking at the mirror and stared at it for a long time without moving, although it was strange, but it was acceptable.

However a youngster, staring at the mirror… for such a long time?

Could it be… that he was a disguised woman…?

The vendor glanced at Lin Xiao. Unsteady fat, squeezed facial features of which weren’t recognizable. He looked behind Lin Xiao, an imperial bodyguard was standing like a pillar… he silently thought: ‘Oh shit, didn’t you grow extremely ugly, your brain is abnormal’ but he swallowed this sentence.

As time went by, the vendor couldn’t help but impatiently open his mouth.

That question woke Lin Xiao up, who was immersed in his own world. Looking at the impatient vendor, Lin Xiao apologized with a smile.

Waving his hand, he let that imperial bodyguard pull 500 silver dollars out. He bought the mirror and turned away.

The vendor pressed the silver dollar with his thumb and index, exerting all his strength. He happily smiled, looking at that too fat to move back, while thinking: ‘That youngster is indeed abnormal’ yet his heart was hoping that this youngster with an abnormal brain, would tomorrow visit this stall again.

500 silver dollars to buy a mirror, this was simply Heaven dropping a pie.

……

An imposing building was standing in front, with a horizontal inscribed board on the top: ‘Spiritual Grass Pavilion’
