However, before she could say anything, she heard a voice behind her.
"Didn't I tell you to wait for me? Why are you walking so fast?!"
An old man in gray came slowly over, took a look at Feng Jiu standing there, and said to the guard, "He came with me."
“It’s Mr. Tan.” The two guards recognized the man and bowed after seeing that he was an old man. After glancing at Fengjiu, they stepped aside.
Fengjiu stood there in a daze for a moment, looking at the gray-clothed old man in some surprise.
"Let's go!" said the old man, and walked in.
Seeing this, she followed without saying anything. It was just a building, but it was so troublesome. What were the rules for entering here? Who was this old man? Why did he help her
"Jubaolou is a place for bartering. There are no rules for entering here. It's just that some people are used to looking down on others. Seeing that you have nothing and are dressed simply, they won't let you in."
As if he knew what Fengjiu was thinking, the old man slowly explained after he entered. He stopped and looked at Fengjiu beside him, and then glanced at the medicine basket Fengjiu was carrying: "You are a herb collector! If you want to see it, just take a look. I have something else to do, so I will leave first."
He did not ask Fengjiu's name, nor did he tell her who he was. He just left a message and turned away.
Feng Jiu raised her eyebrows, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips. This man was cold-faced but kind-hearted. The old man with a serious face was willing to help a stranger like her.
He shook his head secretly, then walked in, intending to look around.
A place for bartering? What good things could there be in it
I walked in with some curiosity, and when I got inside, I saw a lot of things displayed in transparent cabinets. Each item was marked with what it was, what its function was, and what I wanted to exchange it for, so it was clear at a glance.
After looking around, she didn't see anything that caught her eye. However, as she walked around, she noticed a pair of eyes staring at her. It was like staring at prey, and she couldn't help but frown.
After arriving here, she has kept a low profile, concealed her appearance, and suppressed her monastic status. Now in the eyes of outsiders, she is just a handsome young man. There are a lot of people like her on the street, and they would not attract much attention. Why would someone target her
She did not look for the gaze falling on her, but walked to a counter where there were some accessories and some ordinary magical instruments.
"Let me have a look at this mirror!" she said to a woman at the counter.
The woman only glanced at Fengjiu, then handed the mirror over, saying, "This is a refracting mirror, more suitable for women to carry with them. It is a mirror, and also a magical weapon that can refract sunlight to reflect attacks."
Fengjiu used the mirror to check the person who was staring at her. Through the mirror, she saw an old man in brocade clothes standing on the second floor staring at her. The gaze that was like staring at prey came from this old man.
After seeing what she wanted to see, she noticed that the mirror in her hand was delicately carved, so she looked into the cabinet and saw something that was exchanged, so she asked with a smile, "Is this mirror for a Foundation Establishment Pill?"
