Chapter 8: Stall Owners Win



Xiao Chen activated the ’villain’s eye’ on Ye Fan while observing him.

[Name: Ye Fan

Status: Inner disciple of the Peerless Heaven Sword Sect and Young Master of the Immortal Ye Family

Cultivation: Divine Awakening Early Stage

Physique: Great Divine Yang Body [Divine level]

Destiny: 3400]

Xiao Chen was taken aback to discover that Ye Fan had already reached the Divine Awakening realm.

After a moment of thought, he realized it only made sense for the chosen ones to come back stronger after a setback.

He then turned his attention to the jade pendant, which played a significant role in Ye Fan’s rise.

It not only contained a remnant soul but also held the plans and connections that Ye Zhiqiang had left for his son before his death.

After just a brief moment, he averted his gaze to avoid attracting any suspicion.

One of the reasons he wanted to meet Ye Fan in person was to use the ’villain’s eye’ on Ji Rongmei, as the ’plot viewing ticket’ only allowed him to see events leading up to Ye Fan’s ascension to the upper realm.

Xiao Chen could only recall significant events related to Ye Fan and lacked thorough knowledge about the upper realm.

He guessed that this might be due to the influence of heaven’s will or perhaps he was too weak.

When he asked the system, it also told him to get stronger.

Without delay, he used his ’villain’s eye’ on Ye Fan’s jade pendant and Rongmei’s status panel appeared in front of him.

[Name: Ji Rongmei

Status: General of the Immortal Ye Family and Sole Survivor of the Immortal Ji Clan in the upper realm

Current Cultivation: Mysterious Platform Middle Stage

Former Cultivation: [Above Transcend Tribulation Realm]

Physique: Inferno Lotus Sacred Heritage [Extreme level]

Destiny: 6100]

After seeing her panel, Xiao Chen was not surprised, as he was already familiar with most of the information.

In the plot, Ye Fan was associated with only two women.

Tang Jingxue and Ji Rongmei.

The bond between Ye Fan and Ji Rongmei deepened due to their shared affinity for fire Dao.

Ji Rongmei had an extreme-level fire-type physique, while Ye Fan possessed a divine-level fire-type physique.

While Xiao chen was lost in his thoughts, Ji Rongmei who was residing within the jade pendant, was looking at him with a dazed face.

When she first laid eyes on his face, her heart raced unexpectedly. "What’s happening!?"

If Ye Fan had him know his status, He would have given whatever he wanted at a low price.

’Not good. It was found that I tried to scam a disciple of the sect, I will be done for!’ The old man thought, wiping the sweat on his forehead.

The old man quickly knelt before Ye Fan and tears streamed down his face, and pleaded with a pitiful face."Young man, please forgive this old man."

"Had I known your status as a disciple of the peerless heaven sword sect, I would have given you a discount". A cunning light flashed in his eyes.

"Please spare my life! I have a sick wife and three children waiting at home."

As his voice echoed through the bazaar, people gathered around the stall and engaged in discussions.

Xiao Chen saw through the old man’s trick and gave a thumbs-up in his heart.

Ye Fan noticed the people staring at him with contemptuous and mocking eyes and was angered. "Old man, what do you mean by!?"

He knew old man was framing him.

Before Ye fan could speak further, Xiao Chen interjected with a smile. "Brother Ye Fan, this old man has acknowledged his mistake"

"Let’s leave it at that" Xiao Chen said with a embarassed smile. He didn’t give Ye fan any chance to explain himself.

"I observed that the young man concealed his identity and claimed to be a poor rogue cultivator who only has 850 spirit stones."

"Yes, this guy is quite cunning. He concealed his identity and tried to deceive the old man"

"When someone wanted to buy the product, he suddenly said he has 1100 spirit stones."

"Both of them are from the same sect yet so different?"

As the crowd’s comments were thrown at him, Ye Fan’s face darkened. He looked at Xiao chem with hatred, believing that it was because of him that the crowd had gathered here.

In a way, his guess was correct.

The crowd was paying special attention to Xiao chen and Tang jingxue from the moment they entered the bazaar but Ye fan didn’t know about it.

He was simply blaming it on Xiao chen.

Ye fan looked at the treasure map in Xiao Chen’s hands for last time and experienced an empty and lost feeling in his heart.

He understood that if he continued to argue, more crowd will gather and the news will reach the sect soon.

In a fit of anger, he left the bazaar and vowed to avenge this humiliation.

After seeing him leave, Xiao chen had a calm face but chuckled internally.

Then, he expressed his apologies to the crowd and that this incident was an accident.

The more he spoke for Ye fan, more people harbored disdain for him and this was also what he had wanted.

Most people knew Inner disciples of the peerless heaven sword sect were provided with 2000 low-grade spirit stones and pills corresponding to their realm each month.

They were mostly known for avoiding bargaining, not out of arrogance but anyone with a brain wouldn’t attempt to deceive them.

However, Ye Fan not only concealed his identity but also attempted to deceive the old man while having enough money.

Observing the situation, Xiao Chen sighed in his heart. ’The aura of ridicule really works wonder’
