Fighting Through the Heavens: There Are Always Disciples Who Want to Defy Their Master

"Miss, don't listen to other people's nonsense. Everything I have here is old stuff, all top-quality goods. Rest assured!!!

If you see anything you like, just tell me. I'll even give you a discount then—I definitely won't let you lose out!"

The Stall Owner roared a few words at the aunt beside him, then immediately put on a pleasant expression and began chatting with Xiao Yue in front of him.

Customers came first!

He did not dare lose his temper too much. What if he scared off the little girl in front of him?

The Stall Owner's speed at changing faces was truly astonishing!!!

Watching this entire performance from the Stall Owner, Xiao Yue's expression shifted slightly.

She felt that coming here had been a mistake!

Sometimes, some things really could not be left to luck!

Looking at the Stall Owner's fierce expression, even though he wore a smile, Xiao Yue suspected that if she bought nothing and left directly, the aunt beside them would definitely suffer.

She did not want to meddle in other people's business, but she truly felt bad about the aunt suffering because of her.

I should have listened to Uncle earlier.

Why did I come here to buy anything?

What was wrong with my brain?

What kind of madness had I been struck with before?

Everything looked utterly ordinary, so why had she insisted on stopping at this stall?

Xiao Yue had a headache.

For a moment, she did not know what to do, so she turned her head toward Su Mu beside her.

What does Uncle think?

What does he think I should do?

"Don't look at me. How you resolve this matter is entirely your own responsibility."

Why should he, a soul body, butt in from the side?

Buy something if she wanted to; leave if she did not. What could the Stall Owner do to her?

This was a Market controlled by the Xiao Family. What accident could possibly happen to the little girl here?

Broken Sword

"So, how's your looking? Have you found anything you like?"

After wasting so much time, the Stall Owner was getting impatient.

His mouth had gone dry from talking, yet the other party had not reacted at all. Was she buying anything or not?

It was all that damned old woman's fault for running her mouth. Otherwise, he would have sold something long ago. Why did he have to keep wasting words here?

"What are you rushing for? Don't I need to think it over carefully?"

Xiao Yue did not give the Stall Owner a pleasant look either.

Shopping was supposed to be fun, not about throwing money away, much less listening to the Stall Owner ramble on.

She would buy if she wanted to and leave if she did not. Did she need the Stall Owner muttering in her ear?

"You're absolutely right, miss!"

Having been snapped at, the Stall Owner smiled awkwardly and acted as though nothing had happened.

The customer was god!

As long as she bought something from his stall, everything else was negotiable.

What was the big deal about being scolded a few times?

The more she scolded him now, the more he would earn later. How could he possibly lose out?

Xiao Yue looked around and felt that everything looked the same.

All of it was junk!

Could the good stuff be hidden beneath the dirt?

Could there be something valuable inside those stones wrapped in soil?

Xiao Yue was deeply skeptical about that!

Based on her experience reading picture books, gambling on stones seemed to yield good goods?

She did not know whether that was actually true.

Xiao Yue truly had no idea whether this stall had anything worthwhile.

"Uncle, hurry and help me take a look. Does this stall have anything good?"

When she could not make up her mind, she looked for Uncle.

As her master, he could not possibly let his disciple get cheated, could he?

If Uncle could not find anything good, then when she got back, she would dig out every treasure he had hidden away.

Then she would see whether he still dared bully her!

In Xiao Yue's mind, it was just buying something. Could it really stump Uncle?

Su Mu gave a soft hum from the side. His gaze swept over the stall. His soul perception was stronger than that of ordinary people, and he wanted to see whether there was anything unusual here.

The stall was naturally completely ordinary!

So why was the little girl so fixated on this stall?

Could something have happened to her?

After scanning the stall, Su Mu secretly scanned the little girl as well.

Fair and tender, with a faint, elegant body fragrance—there did not seem to be anything wrong with her?

She was still a cute little girl!

That was right. He had been following her the entire time, so how could anything be wrong?

"Uncle, how is it?"

Xiao Yue had no reaction at all to Uncle's inspection. She only wanted to know whether this stall had anything good.

Su Mu felt somewhat awkward at the moment. It seemed he had looked at something he should not have?

But the little girl knew nothing, so he would just pretend nothing had happened. Why make trouble for himself?

Naturally, Su Mu felt nothing from the items on the stall. But since the little girl had chosen this stall, then this stall it was!

Use the one-time Treasure Hunting Talisman!

Su Mu muttered inwardly, then set the Treasure Hunting Talisman's search range to the little stall before him.

Immediately afterward, a flash of golden light that only Su Mu could see flickered past.

The next second, golden light appeared at the corner of the stall.

No one besides Su Mu sensed that golden light!

Where the light was shining seemed to be a Broken Sword.

The sword was covered in rust, and its hilt had long since decayed. One could only barely make out the shape of a sword.

More importantly, it was a broken sword. Its tip had long vanished, and its blade had been worn away. It was utterly useless!

What use could a sword like that have?

The tip was gone, and the blade was gone. Did a sword like that really still have any offensive power?

That rotten hilt looked like it would crumble completely into powder at the slightest touch. Could this sword really even be picked up?

Was the system serious?

Could something bought at a discount really be reliable?

Could the system be trying to fleece him?

Su Mu deeply suspected that if he picked up that sword marked as the target, it would fall apart completely the very next second.

So was the Stall Owner trying to pull a scam?

He specifically sold all this broken junk, and if someone took a fancy to an item and picked it up, it would break the next second?

Would the Stall Owner then force the buyer to purchase it?

Was that not just a scam?

He had never expected to encounter this kind of scam everywhere?

Was this not a little too speechless?

What should he do?

What exactly should he say?

Should he trust the system this once?

From the bottom of his heart, he was very willing to trust the system, but the item looked so shabby that it was difficult for him to believe in it.

Could it not have found something a little better?

What value could such a piece of junk possibly have?

It had absolutely no value at all!

Perhaps the system's choice was correct!

Everything on the stall was junk!

At least the broken sword found by the Treasure Hunting Talisman was partly made of metal. Compared with the other trash, it seemed to have just a tiny bit more value.

But was this meant to fool an idiot?

He had spent one point of Admiration Value and gotten this thing?
