Battle Through the Heavens: There Are Always Rebellious Disciples Who Want to Deceive Their Master, Part 16

She was in a truly terrible mood right now. It was one thing for Uncle not to comfort her, but why was he mocking her too?

Was he even her master anymore?

Xiao Yue stood beside them, utterly speechless.

Was that any way for a master to act?

"Don't you still have over a hundred gold coins? If you want, you can still buy quite a few things!!"

So what if the money was spent? What was the big deal?

There had not been anything good to begin with!

Thinking of all those heavenly treasures in his System Mall, what good stuff could these roadside stalls possibly have?

It was only because he was too poor right now, and his disciple was not particularly capable, that he could not let the little girl before him properly broaden her horizons!

Her horizons still needed expanding!

"Uncle, I'll be relying entirely on you later!"

With so few gold coins left, she could probably only buy one or two things. It would all depend on whether Uncle could deliver.

She might have been able to pick up a few more bargains before, but now it looked like she could only get a tiny bit.

She hoped Uncle would come through!

Seeing the little girl's earnest expression, how could Su Mu not know what she was thinking?

Earlier, she had wanted him to help her spot bargains, but then she had gone wild shopping. Now she remembered again?

But was it really reliable to come to him for something like this?

"System, do you have anything that can find treasures? Or perhaps some tool that can appraise items?"

With Su Mu's own knowledge alone, how the hell was he supposed to spot any bargains?

Wouldn't that be embarrassing?

Hopefully, the System could be reliable for once!

Immediately afterward, an interface appeared on the system panel, filled with all kinds of treasure-appraising items.

Appraisal Eye:

Admiration Value

Appraisal Compendium:

Admiration Value

Appraisal Disc:

Admiration Value

...

There was every kind of item capable of appraising treasures. Whether you wanted something detailed or something rough, if you could think of it, you could find it here!

It was just that the prices were truly terrifying!

Looking at those treasures one after another, Su Mu's mouth practically watered.

Unfortunately, his balance was nowhere near enough!

"System, could you take a look at how much I'm worth? Is it really appropriate to show me so many things I can't afford?"

What was the point of showing him treasures?

Which one did the System think he could afford?

Treasure Hunting Talisman

Just as Su Mu was about to give up, he suddenly spotted something good!

One-Time Treasure Hunting Talisman: 1 Admiration Value (90% off)

Su Mu blinked hard, unable to believe it for a moment!

"System, why did you hide something this good so deep?"

This treasure was actually at the very bottom of the entire interface.

If he had not casually scrolled down, he might not have seen it at all!

What the hell was wrong with the System?

Why did it hide the good stuff?

Was it deliberately trying to keep him from seeing it?

Then why put it up for sale at all?

Wasn't that going too far?

The System was such a bastard!!!

There was something else that Su Mu found particularly puzzling.

System items could be discounted too?

Why had he never known that before?

Why had the System never reminded him about something like this?

Under what circumstances could System items be discounted?

How many things had the System hidden from him?

Had he overlooked quite a few treasures before?

If he had not happened to see it today, how many good things would he have missed out on?

Sob

He had not paid attention before, but he would have to keep a close eye out from now on. Otherwise, some good treasure might slip right through his fingers!

Though Su Mu had many doubts, the System simply chose to ignore him and did not give him a damn explanation.

It simply did not treat him like a person!

Why did he, the host, not have even a trace of authority?

Since the System was unwilling to explain further, Su Mu could do nothing about it.

Fine, no explanation then. As long as he could buy the item, that was enough!

Could it be that he had to shamelessly beg it for answers?

He could not bring himself to do that!

What if he got no answer? Wouldn't that be even more awkward?

Su Mu quickly bought the item, afraid that it would slip away from him.

Su Mu no longer had even the most basic trust in the System!!!

The System had introduced the item's use, and it was very simple.

The Treasure Hunting Talisman he had bought was a one-time-use item that could search for treasures within a certain range. Within that range, it could select the highest-ranked item.

However, since the One-Time Treasure Hunting Talisman he bought was only the ordinary version, the highest possible rank for an item was merely Mysterious Tier.

There were even more powerful versions, with limits reaching Earth Tier and Heaven Tier!!!

But Su Mu did not go looking for them. He did not need to think to know that those were not things he could afford!

Even so, the ordinary version was already enough for Su Mu.

Could a tiny place like Wutan City possibly contain some Heaven Tier secret treasure?

Wouldn't that be giving Wutan City too much credit?

At any rate, Su Mu would not dream of such a thing!

Looking at the yellow talisman paper in his hand, Su Mu was extremely satisfied. He probably would not embarrass himself in front of others now.

Su Mu grinned and put it away, intending to take it out when he needed it.

"Uncle, why are you smiling so lewdly? What are you thinking about now?"

When the originally heartbroken Xiao Yue looked up, she found Uncle standing there with a sinister grin. There definitely could not be anything good in his head.

She was already so upset, so why could Uncle still laugh?

Had she become his disciple for nothing?

"What smile? You must have seen wrong."

Su Mu's expression immediately turned serious.

In front of his disciple, it was better to look a little more serious. Otherwise, what would he do if the little girl kept messing with him all day?

Seen wrong?

Xiao Yue scratched her head.

She was deeply suspicious of what her master had said.

Her eyes were perfectly fine. How could she have seen wrong?

Uncle before her definitely had bad intentions!

She wanted to see exactly what Uncle would manage to do later.

"We've probably explored enough of these little streets, right? How about we go look somewhere else?"

Seeing the little girl's suspicious gaze, Su Mu chose to change the subject.

That was true!

The little girl nodded.

The place they were in now did not even count as a Market. It could only be called a gathering place, and the things sold there were all ordinary.

This was not Xiao Yue's goal!
