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

Xiao Yue turned down several streets before finally slipping into a market located in the southern part of Wutan City.

The market she was heading to was the true market of Wutan City.

There were not many markets like this in all of Wutan City, and they were all controlled by the city's three great families.

Rather than controlled, it would be more accurate to say that the three great families maintained the market's order and safety. This was not something ordinary people could manage. Only the three great families possessed such financial resources, material resources, and strength.

With someone keeping watch, there would be no riffraff causing trouble. Once safety was guaranteed, the market could prosper.

Naturally, the market Xiao Yue was heading to was under the Xiao Family's control...

"Girl, it's not that I want to nag you, but when you spend money later, you need to be more careful. Don't just believe whatever people tell you like before!"

Along the way, Su Mu taught his Little Disciple a few lessons from experience.

When buying things, especially from roadside stalls, if you did not even know how to haggle, weren't you just a total sucker?

Even if you had money, you could not waste it like that!!

"Uncle, what should I do later?"

This time, Xiao Yue did not argue back.

What could she argue with that nearly empty money pouch of hers?

She had not even bought much before, yet she was already running low on money. Of course she had to be more careful.

"This..."

To be honest, Su Mu was not particularly experienced either.

In his previous life, he had never liked haggling when buying things. He only wanted to say a few words because his disciple had been spending far too extravagantly.

But asking him to teach someone how to haggle really was a difficult problem!

"When someone names a price later, no matter how much it is, just cut it in half!"

After thinking for a long time, Su Mu gave his answer.

Halving the price should be fine, right?

He had no idea whether it would actually work.

Su Mu did not have much confidence either!

The little girl nodded solemnly, clearly feeling that her master's words made perfect sense!

How things turned out would depend on the little girl's performance!!!

As they entered through the market gates, two Xiao Family guards stood at the entrance.

Before the little girl even reached the gate, one of the guards immediately came forward. He clearly recognized her!

As Xiao Yue passed through the entrance, the guard gave a slight bow in welcome.

Xiao Yue froze for a moment, then smiled and nodded at him before walking straight inside.

Seeing the endless stream of people within the gates, she could not help smacking her lips.

After Xiao Yue left, the guards immediately reported the matter to the market's steward.

The family's young miss had come to the market. Should they not take proper care of her?

If anything happened to her, they could not bear the responsibility!

Naturally, Xiao Yue knew nothing of this!

Chapter 17: The Shabby Stall

"Uncle, Uncle, how was it? Did the stall we just passed have anything good?"

The moment they entered the market, Xiao Yue's little mouth began chattering nonstop.

She looked here and there!

Every time she passed a stall, she could not help asking Su Mu whether it had anything good.

Su Mu's head hurt, and so did his ears.

He had originally thought he was just taking a casual stroll, but the voice beside his ear had never stopped. Who could possibly stand that?

If the little girl in front of him were not his disciple, he would have given her a good beating!

Were they here to shop, or to torment her master?

"Girl, can't you give that mouth of yours a rest?"

After talking for so long, was she not tired?

Why was the little girl's energy so boundless?

Would it not be nice to be a quiet, gentle girl?

"Uncle, it's not that I want to be noisy. I only want to find a bargain. Is such a small request really too much for Uncle to satisfy?"

Xiao Yue pouted again, wearing an aggrieved expression.

If Su Mu refused, tears might spill from her watery eyes the very next second.

Where did this little girl get so much drama?

It was not that Su Mu did not want to look. He truly could not do it!

He might not even know more than his own Little Disciple. How was he supposed to spot hidden bargains?

He was not some true powerhouse like Old Yao. He was just a nobody!!!

Could she stop making things difficult for her master?

As for the Treasure Hunting Talisman?

It was a single-use item. Should he not use it sparingly?

The little girl asked about every stall they passed. How could Su Mu recklessly use the Treasure Hunting Talisman in his hand?

What if every stall he checked was full of fakes? What would he do if he could not satisfy the little girl then?

Spending one point of Admiration Value on a fake would be a massive loss, would it not?

Should he not choose carefully?

"Come, come, take a look! Fresh Spirit Fruit picked from the Monster Beast Forest, don't miss out!"

The Stall Owners enthusiastically called out to the customers around them.

Su Mu found it particularly amusing to watch from the side.

It felt much the same as his previous life, did it not?

Those cries of sale sounded so familiar!!!

Only the goods being sold were different. Otherwise, what difference was there from any other street stall?

"Monster cores for cheap! Don't miss out, passersby!"

The countless sales cries sounded especially lively.

The little girl's eyes darted around, seemingly searching for a new target.

She looked at this one and smacked her lips, then looked at that one and shook her head. She did not seem satisfied with any of them.

The little girl's expression visibly fell.

"Girl, don't rush. Take it slow!"

How could finding hidden bargains be so easy?

It had only been a short while, and she was already getting discouraged?

That would not do!

"Uncle, do you think the things sold here are really reliable?"

Xiao Yue was speechless too.

She might be somewhat naive, but that did not mean she was stupid!

Could she really fail to see through such obvious counterfeits?

Some of the stalls selling medicinal herbs had roots and leaves in completely different colors, while even the shades of the leaves varied. The paint was so obvious—who did they take for fools?

And those selling monster cores, who exactly were they trying to fool?

A mere ordinary Dou Zhe dared to sell a second-tier monster core?

There was not the slightest trace of energy in the core. Did they really think no one else could sense it?

Could they not at least put a little more effort into their counterfeiting?

At the very least, they should not let her see through it!

Xiao Yue complained to Su Mu from time to time, explaining the flaws in those counterfeit goods. She was clearly rather disappointed.

Uh...?

Were little girls these days already this amazing?

If the little girl had not pointed it out, Su Mu truly would not have noticed some of those things.

Was her ability to notice details not a little too strong?

Sure enough, women's detective instincts were nearly invincible. When applied to serious matters, they were just as invincible!

What could Su Mu even say?

He did not dare interrupt at all. What if he exposed himself? How could he continue being a proper master then?

It would be far too embarrassing!

He had always thought the little girl before him was simply fooling around. It turned out that the real fool was himself.

Having a disciple who was too outstanding was not necessarily a good thing for a master!

"Girl, the fact that you can avoid being deceived is already very impressive!"

Su Mu could not help praising the little girl before him.
