"However, there's no need for you layfolk to worry. I have a few Peace Talismans here that can ensure you safely survive this calamity.
I see that I'm fated to meet you all, so I'll sell them to you at a discount. Not eighteen thousand, not even nine thousand eight—just 998, and you can take these life-saving Peace Talismans home!"
Xiao Xie reached into his robe with his right hand and pulled out a stack of yellow talismans, then called out excitedly to Lin Jia and the others.
"..."
Everyone was speechless.
"Little miss, don't hesitate! Once you miss this chance, there won't be another!"
As if he had not seen Lin Jia's twitching mouth, Xiao Xie spoke with an expression that said she was getting a bargain.
Lin Jia was utterly speechless. Just now, she had sensed Xiao Xie's otherworldly aura and thought he was somewhat extraordinary, which was why she had taken the initiative to speak with him.
Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, Xiao Xie would turn into a charlatan selling talismans like some TV salesman?
"Master, thank you for your kindness, but we don't need your Peace Talismans."
Seeing Lin Jia's troubled expression, Liu Yunzhi hurriedly put on the air of a protector and stepped beside her, politely refusing Xiao Xie.
Since modern-day scammers often worked in groups, even though Liu Yunzhi felt that Xiao Xie was a fraud, he did not dare rebuke him outright, afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.
"What a pity! I offered my help out of kindness, yet you layfolk don't have the fortune to accept it. So be it!"
Seeing everyone looking at him as though they had seen through his scam, Xiao Xie could not help shaking his head and sighing.
Everything depended on fate.
