Chapter 197 - Shopping!

Jiang Ping was dragged along by the three little girls. He didn’t even take a few steps before he was dragged along by force.

“Why don’t you guys go and pick by yourselves? You can tell me after you are done picking.”

“I don’t have that much energy to accompany you guys.”

Jiang Ping stopped and turned around to look at Li Sushang, signaling her to follow the three little girls.

Li Sushang understood and went forward to replace Jiang Ping. She held the hands of the three little girls and walked in front.

Jiang Ping let out a sigh of relief. At last, he didn’t have to be pestered by these three mischievous little girls.

Otherwise, when they call Jiang Ping “Daddy” again later, Jiang Ping wouldn’t be able to endure their coquettish manner and spend spirit stones without intending to, when he had already told them that he would only allow them to buy one item.

After seeing Jiang Ping leave alone, Zhao Tianqian quickly went forward to pester Jiang Ping.

It was still because of the sword manual.

Jiang Ping was helpless. Seeing the extremely annoying old man, he could only agree to the old Taoist priest’s request.

He casually threw the sword manual to Zhao Tianqian.

After that, Zhao Tianqian even whispered to him that he didn’t know how to cherish rare items.

He Xiangjiang followed closely behind his master. He just walked silently without looking at the shops and vendors on the roadside.

Jiang Ping noticed the young Taoist priest and asked.

“Why don’t you follow Wan’er and have a look?”

He Xiangjiang didn’t feel embarrassed and grinned.

“I don’t dare to look. I’m afraid I can’t afford it if I like it.”

Jiang Ping replied with a smile.

“It’s okay. I’ll pay for what you like. Just take it as a gift from Wan’er.”

He Xiangjiang shook his head hard and quickly refused.

“No need, no need. Uncle Jiang, you’re the one who gave my master and me the tickets. You’re also the one who paid for the food and drinks for the past few days.”

“I can’t let you spend any more money.”

Jiang Ping chuckled.

“What if I say that if you don’t buy something, I’ll make Wan’er ignore you forever?”

He Xiangjiang was stunned.

He could only look at his master helplessly.

Zhao Tianqian nodded at his disciple.

He Xiangjiang followed Wan’er and the others, but he thought to himself that he must not pick too expensive items later.

The cheaper the better. He couldn’t let Jiang Ping spend money on him.

After Zhao Tianqian got the sword manual, he said to Jiang Ping.

“Well, I’m good at bargaining, and I have sharp eyes. I’ll go up and help the little fellows!”

In fact, he was afraid that Jiang Ping would go back on his words, so he immediately followed the little girls in large strides.

Jiang Ping followed them unhurriedly. Looking at the group of people, each of them had their own personality. It must truly be a blessing from their previous lives to be able to become a group together.

Wan’er saw that He Xiangjiang had followed her, so she directly let go of Liu’er’s hand.

She deliberately slowed down her pace and waited to walk side by side with the young Taoist priest.

Seeing her eldest sister’s reaction, Liu’er turned her head and laughed.

“Sister Wan’er, do you like Brother Xiangjiang very much?”

Wan’er patted He Xiangjiang’s shoulder.

“Of course, I like him. I like you too. Why, are you unhappy?”

The young Taoist priest at the side suddenly blushed again.

Liu’er looked at the young Taoist priest who was blushing, as well as her eldest sister. She covered her mouth and laughed.

“No!”

Yan’er was focused on finding the object she wanted.

She did not have time to pay attention to the conversation between her other two sisters.

She had already thought about going to the bookstores more often before she landed on the island.

Yan’er had finished reading Lei Jingyun’s novel and she planned to buy a new book to read in case she was bored on the way.

The little girl made up her mind to buy the thickest book this time so that she could read it for a longer time.

However, after shopping for a long time, she didn’t see a bookstore on the island.

After taking two steps forward, Yan’er stopped.

Then she turned back to look.

Li Sushang saw that Yan’er didn’t move, so she asked the other little fellows to wait first.

Liu’er knew her second sister very well. She looked at Yan’er and asked in puzzlement.

“What’s wrong, Sister Yan’er? This isn’t a bookstore!”

Hearing Liu’er’s words, everyone looked in the same direction.

They found that Yan’er was staring at a blacksmith shop, and they were in disbelief!

The two sisters were a little confused now.

Blacksmith shop? Yan’er had been influenced by the fragrance of books since she was young. Logically speaking, she shouldn’t be interested in these things.

Yan’er said softly.

“I want to go over and take a look!”

Although Li Sushang was also puzzled, she still led a few people over.

After walking in, she noticed that Yan’er was staring at a piece of an iron bar hanging from the crossbeam of the blacksmith’s shop.

The iron bar was already rusty. It was about three feet long and four inches thick. It looked no different from an ordinary iron bar.

Yan’er pointed at the iron bar and asked the shopkeeper.

“Can I take a look at that?”

This shop specialized in forging weapons for cultivators. Judging from the size of the shop, it was obvious that they could only make one or two spiritual artifacts at most. As for immortal artifacts, they could forget about them.

Every day, the shopkeeper was bare-chested. He took a hammer and hammered at the door of the shop, trying to attract customers with the sound of the hammering.

Hearing Yan’er’s request, the hammer in the shopkeeper’s hand paused, and he was a little surprised.

This piece of iron had been hanging in this shop for a long time.

And this piece of iron was very strange. No matter how hard he hammered it, he hammered it hard.

The iron was still a piece of iron, and there was no change at all.

There were so many strange things in this world, and the shopkeeper did not care about them at that time.

Seeing that it was so hard, he might as well hang it on the beam and use it as décor for his shop or something.

After hanging it on the beam for so many years, many customers who came would take a second glance, but it was the first time a customer requested to take it down and have a look.

The shopkeeper said to wait for a moment, then casually took a knife from the wall and jumped.

He directly cut the hanging iron chain with his knife and caught the iron bar when it fell.

Liu’er, who was watching from the side, clapped her hands and cheered.

“Shopkeeper, your knife is so sharp.”

The shopkeeper smiled and showed the knife to everyone.

“Then do you want to consider buying it? This is a middle-grade spiritual artifact. It’s not expensive. I’ll charge you five middle-grade spirit stones!”

Liu’er looked at the knife and shook her head, thinking that she only had one chance to buy things today. She couldn’t waste it like this.

The shopkeeper had no choice but to hang the knife back on the wall dejectedly.

Then, the shopkeeper held the iron bar with both hands and handed it to Yan’er.

Yan’er pointed and asked.

“Can I hold it?”

The shopkeeper nodded with a smile and didn’t refuse.

Yan’er held the iron bar in her hand and carefully looked at the rust on it.

After touching the whole iron bar, she asked.

“Shopkeeper, how much is this?”

The shopkeeper put away the surprise in his heart and stretched out three fingers to the little girl.

“This is the most precious treasure of our shop. How about this? You look cute.”

“It was supposed to be three high-grade spirit stones. I’ll just charge you two.”

After saying that, the shopkeeper took back one of his three fingers and gave the little girl a two.
