Chapter 213 Looking for trouble
As soon as Shen Li and her master Xuanfeng Sanren stepped into the gate of Fuxi Tower, they were disturbed by a burst of noise.
I saw a handsome boy of twelve or thirteen wearing a jade crown and a green robe, but his face flushed red as he shouted at the top of his voice, "I have traveled thousands of miles from the capital to buy the elixir and the fairy pet!
How could you possibly tell me that you didn't have any? Doesn't your Fuxilou boast of having all sorts of rare treasures? What are you planning today?"
The shopping guide, dressed in the uniform of Fuxilou, still had that well-trained smile on her face and explained in a gentle voice, "Sir, please listen to me.
Our county lady has also mentioned that the cultivation of fairy pets requires a large amount of natural treasures, and the investment of manpower and material resources is difficult to estimate. The cultivation process is indeed difficult and it is not that we deliberately shirk responsibility by saying that we don’t have them.
As for the elixir you inquired about, only the County Master's master has the ability to refine it. However, he has long since retired to the mountains, and this is a well-known fact. Why do you bother to trouble us at Fuxi Tower?"
The ladies around heard the salesperson's words and nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, they really don't have it. It's unreasonable for you to insist like this."
Seeing this, Shen Li couldn't help but frown slightly. She thought to herself: This salesperson handled the situation appropriately, but this young man was being so unreasonable, I'm afraid he's targeting me. She quickly approached the little koi and whispered something in a low voice. The little koi nodded like an obedient disciple.
At this moment, Xuanfeng Sanren, played by the little koi, stroked his long white beard, walked into the house slowly, and said loudly: "Who wants to buy a fairy pet? I have one!" This voice was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, which instantly caused an uproar among the crowd.
The green-robed young man was stunned at first, then turned around arrogantly and shouted, "Who are you? You said you have it, then show it to everyone!"
He crossed his arms over his chest, his eyes full of suspicion and disdain, as if to say that the old man must be bragging.
Everyone's appetite was piqued by Xuanfeng Sanren's words. They opened their eyes wide, their hearts full of curiosity and anticipation: Does this old man really have the legendary fairy pet?
Xuanfeng Sanren, however, was not in a hurry. He looked calm and composed, and slowly said, "It's not impossible to see it, but I have finally managed to breed one successfully. You must pay a deposit of one thousand taels first to prove that you are sincere in coming to buy it and not someone who is deliberately causing trouble. Then, I can take out the fairy pet for you to see."
When the green-robed young man heard he had to pay a deposit, his eyes immediately rolled around. He then shouted, "You don't have it, you're deliberately trying to trick us! Otherwise, why can't you just look at it?" His voice became increasingly sharp, trying to stir up the emotions of the people around him. Everyone heard this and whispered and discussed it again.
Shen Li saw that the time had come, so she gently lifted her foot and walked into the house. She said calmly, "Ask him who he is and why he has a fairy pet. I can tell you."
When everyone saw Shen Li coming, they stopped talking and bowed to greet him.
Shen Li raised her hand slightly, waved it gently, and said softly: "Everyone, there is no need to be so polite. Let me introduce you to everyone. This is my master, Xuanfeng Sanren. He has been in seclusion for a long time and has now returned. I originally wanted to bring him to see the Fuxi Building I built for him, but I never thought that he would encounter such a thing as soon as he arrived..."
As he spoke, Shen Li deliberately shook his head and sighed, his face full of guilt and helplessness, "I'm afraid I have failed his expectations."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They never imagined that the old man before them was actually the county lady's immortal master.
For a moment, everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed, shouting, "Greetings, old immortal!" The scene was spectacular. The shouts of the crowd echoed in the Fuxi Building, attracting more people to gather around, wanting to find out what was going on.
