Perhaps because of the passage of time, this totem has been almost worn out.
If you don't look carefully, you will only think that it is just a few simple lines, and you will never think that it is some kind of totem.
It was only because Chu Liuyue was so familiar with this totem that she could recognize it at a glance.
Chu Liuyue stared at the vendor behind the stall.
This is a man who looks to be in his thirties, wearing a washed-out gray cotton coat, with a strong build and a stubble on his face.
He seems to be an ordinary vendor in Fangzhou City.
"How much is it?"
Chu Liuyue asked.
The man raised his eyes and glanced at her hand, grinning.
"Sir, you have a good eye! This thing is a rare sea buckthorn tree! A good medicinal material! If you carry it with you, it can also soothe the mind and replenish the energy! It is very good for cultivation! If you really want to-- This number!"
He showed three fingers.
Chu Liuyue fumbled with the wooden sign:
"Although sea buckthorn wood is good, it is not a top-notch precious treasure. Is your asking price worth it? Where did you get this thing?"
When the merchant heard this, he laughed.
"Even if it's not expensive, if you like it, isn't it a treasure? As for where this thing comes from, I can't remember it! Look at how many things I have, how can I remember where each one of them came from? Where did you find it? If you really want it, how about I give you a discount? "
"Do you really think we're being taken advantage of? This thing isn't even worth half of the price you said!"
Zhuo Sheng, who was next to him, couldn't help but stepped forward and sneered disdainfully.
"Chu Yue, if you want this sea buckthorn wood, learn it. We have plenty of it over there, why do you waste this money?"
There is nothing in Lingxiao Academy, and I really don’t understand why Chu Yue is interested in this thing.
Chu Liuyue smiled.
"It's rare to meet someone with whom you like it. It's not a bad idea to buy it for fun."
As she spoke, she said to the vendor:
"Half price, I want it."
When the merchant heard this, he immediately became happy.
"Okay! The young master is indeed generous!"
Zhuo Sheng wanted to persuade her again, but seeing that Chu Liuyue had already made up her mind, he had no choice but to let her go.
Chu Liuyue took out a money bag and handed it over.
The merchant happily took it.
"If the young master has your sights on someone else, feel free to choose!"
Chu Liuyue shook her head:
"No need, that's it."
After speaking, she looked at Zhuo Sheng.
"Didn't you just say that you would take us to a more lively place? Let's go."
"Yes! Let's go! It's over there!"
With that said, Zhuo Sheng took the lead and walked forward.
Chu Liuyue and Luo Yanming followed closely behind.
The figures of the three people quickly disappeared around the corner.
"Chu Yue, isn't that just a wooden sign carved from sea buckthorn wood? What's so good about it? Let me tell you, you really have nothing to spend your money on!"
On the way, Zhuo Sheng was still worried about Chu Liuyue buying the wooden sign.
As a disciple of Lingxiao Academy, especially Chu Yue is a heavenly doctor! What good things haven’t you seen
When I came to Fangzhou City, I actually bought something like that. If I told anyone about it, I would be laughed at.
Luo Yanming smiled lightly and said:
"Zhuo Sheng, he bought it if he wanted it, and it didn't cost you any money. What do you want to do?"
"I'm not—hey, Chu Yue, why don't you leave?"
As Zhuo Sheng was speaking, he saw Chu Liuyue suddenly stand still, weigh the wooden sign in his hand, then turn around and walk back.
The remaining two people were stunned for a moment, thinking she was angry, and hurriedly chased after her.
"Hey, Chu Yue, what's wrong with you?"
Zhuo Sheng scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Am I talking too much and you don't want to hear it?"
Chu Liuyue shook her head:
"No. I just found that the wooden sign seems to be fake. You go shopping first, I will go to the person to refund the money, and I will meet you later."
"Fake?"
Both of them were a little surprised, but seeing that Chu Liuyue didn't look fake, they believed him.
"How dare you sell fake goods! You must teach him a lesson! Our brothers are with you!"
As Zhuo Sheng said that, he rolled up his sleeves and planned to fight.
Chu Liuyue couldn't help but look at him with laughter.
"You two had better not follow us, otherwise what will happen if things get too big? Don't forget, this is Fangzhou City. Once something happens, the college will know it immediately."
Zhuo Sheng put down his sleeves nonchalantly.
"Can you do it alone?"
What if people don’t admit it
Chu Liuyue chuckled.
"It really doesn't work. There are still elders from the academy sitting in Fangzhou City."
If something happens to a student, they will definitely come forward as soon as possible.
"So don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I go."
Zhuo Sheng looked at each other and had no choice but to agree:
"All right."
Chu Liuyue returned the same way and soon returned to the same street.
She did not step forward, but stood at the corner and glanced towards the street.
The vendor has disappeared.
Sure enough there is a problem!
Chu Liuyue narrowed her eyes slightly. She left a special mark on the money bag. As long as she was within a radius of thirty miles, she could detect the other party's traces.
She turned the Qiankun Ring in her hand, looked around, and finally ran towards one of the directions.
The streets in Fangzhou City were very lively. Chu Liuyue walked through them, looking as normal as anyone else.
But in fact, she has always maintained a certain distance from each other.
After walking three streets, Chu Liuyue finally realized something was wrong.
The other party seems to be planning to leave the city in this direction!
She paused in her steps.
Either the other party planned to leave right away, or he deliberately lured her out of the city!
There are many elders and students of Lingxiao Academy in Fangzhou City, which is obviously very inconvenient.
Only when you leave the city can you do things conveniently.
Chu Liuyue clenched the wooden sign in her hand and could clearly feel the totem engraved on it.
She only hesitated for a moment and then followed!
Soon, we arrived at the city gate.
There is no one guarding here, so there are many people coming and going.
Chu Liuyue took a look and didn't see the merchant.
This is already out!
Chu Liuyue put away the wooden sign and walked towards the city gate.
When passing through the barrier at the city gate, Chu Liuyue deliberately suppressed the power in her body.
There was peace in Dantian.
She breathed a sigh of relief and looked forward.
Outside Fangzhou City, there is an endless wasteland.
The sky was overcast and it seemed like it was going to rain.
The place where the sky and the earth meet is even more chaotic, and nothing can be seen clearly.
On the wasteland, some people come and some leave.
But compared to the people in the city, it was much less.
Chu Liuyue looked intently and finally saw a somewhat familiar figure from behind.
It was the vendor just now!
As soon as she got angry, she quickly chased after him!
The further away from Fangzhou City, the sparsely populated it becomes.
Gradually, there was no one else around.
"You deliberately lured me out, can we have a nice chat now?"
Chu Liuyue spoke clearly.
