True Attitude

"..."

The atmosphere outside Linsey's plant shop suddenly became awkward.

"You... how could you not know?"

The young man's voice was somewhat stuttering, and he even felt that Linsey was making fun of him.

Linsey replied in a flat tone:

"I've just arrived in this city, so of course I don't know anything."

The young man reacted quickly, almost interrupting, "But even the people of Lookout Point City should have heard of my master's name!"

Linsey then brought up another fact. "But in reality, I've only just arrived in the world of the Courtyard in the Forest, and I can't really be Lookout Point City."

"..."

The young man was momentarily speechless.

In his mind, everyone should know his master's name.

Until this moment.

Linsey stated that she was not born in the Courtyard in the Forest.

He sighed, leaned forward slightly, and introduced Linsey with a mixture of regret and helplessness, "My master is a big businessman in the Riverbank Merchant Guild. Now you understand what kind of person this invitation is, right?"

Linsey raised an eyebrow:

"An Awakened One?"

Linsey's single sentence made the young man jump up and down in anger, even shouting, "What is an Awakened One?"

"Mr. Ya Li Kun is no ordinary Awakener! He is Ascender! A great figure of the Sixth Stage!"

An example immediately popped into Linsey's mind:

"That's the same as Kuit."

"It's Mr. Quett!" The young man was very sensitive to the names of the two Sixth Stage merchants, and soon became troubled by Linsey's attitude in addressing him. "Also, how can you be so rude? You just call an adult by their name!"

"..."

Linsey's first reaction was that the young man's behavior was morbid.

After all, his memories from his past life instilled in him a fundamental belief in equality for all.

However, after actually taking into account the situation in this world.

This almost perverse respect seems to have become reasonable.

After all, this is someone who has mastered extraordinary power. It's just that Linsey's upbringing was quite unique, which is why she had almost never encountered such a person before.

Linsey sighed inwardly.

Following the principle of respecting local customs and others, Linsey tentatively asked:

"Okay, okay."

"Mr. Kuit, Mr. Ya Li Kun, is this alright?"

The young people felt quite helpless about Linsey's attitude.

He was even a little at a loss, but in the end he still chose to reach out to Linsey, wanting to take the man in front of him back to see his Sixth Stage merchant.

"Anyway, come with me now."

Linsey shook off the young man's hand. "Sorry, I refuse."

"The messenger should have already told everyone about Lookout Point City. I can't possibly get any new information here, so please don't trouble yourself to entertain me."

This unexpected invitation made Linsey wary.

There are two possibilities regarding the other party's purpose.

First, it was Kuit, who was also a member of the Riverbank Merchant Guild, who relayed the message here.

So this Ya Li Kun, as the other party's business partner, prepared to do something to himself.

The second possibility is that the merchants in the city had a very keen sense of smell.

After Ailini showed off her stockings last night, he immediately launched an investigation, even digging up his own past as someone who had come to the city with Ailini, and then came to visit her the next morning.

Two possibilities.

In either case, Linsey does not intend to accept the invitation.

He had even prepared to change his appearance and lie in wait in the city.

Even worse.

If Ailini gets into trouble because of selling stockings, he will have to rescue the businesswoman girl.

The young people's reactions to Linsey were even more fascinating.

Because Linsey refused, he gaped, and after a long pause, he finally reacted and stammered, "..."

"You rascal, this is Mr. Ya Li Kun's invitation!"

Is there a rule that I can't refuse?

The next second, Linsey was about to close the shop door.

In that very instant.

The young man, realizing that his mission was about to fail, also became anxious.

He pulled a wooden coin directly from his pocket and threw it at Linsey.

"No, you can't refuse!"

The wooden coin is engraved with Double Snake Pattern.

This is a Double Serpent Coin, just a prototype.

The young man standing at the shop entrance was a formal apprentice of the Chamber of Commerce, but his skills were only at the First Stage, far from being able to independently manufacture Double Serpent Coin.

The prototype of this Double Serpent Coin was given to him as a reward by other merchants in the guild when they were in a good mood.

Linsey caught the Double Serpent Coin in mid-air with her right hand.

The moment the desire arose in his heart, it was instantly suppressed by his Willpower Source Material, unable to cause the slightest disturbance. "Double Serpent Coin? What do you mean?"

"I'm doing this for your own good!" The merchant apprentice's expression was extremely impatient. He thought the Double Serpent Coin had taken effect, so he tried to persuade him further, "You know what the consequences will be if you refuse Mr. Ya Li Kun's request..."

Click—

Linsey squeezed the Double Serpent Coin into pieces in her hand, the wood chips falling to the ground with her fingertips.

The merchant apprentice's heart sank along with the sawdust.

At this moment, Linsey spoke again, her tone turning icy cold. "Do you know what the consequences are usually when you use an Awakened's technique on a stranger?"

"..."

The merchant apprentice was terrified.

"You... you're not a Third Stage Awakener, are you?"

The apprentice's voice was hoarse and trembling.

A complete Double Serpent Coin is something that can only be crafted by Fourth Stage merchant.

Although the Double Serpent Coin he threw out were only in their rudimentary form, they could theoretically be used to deal with Third Stage awakened being.

The merchant apprentice had checked the other party's entry information, but he never expected that Linsey would be immune to this effect!

He could even crush it with just one arm!

The merchant apprentice looked terrified.

At the same time, Linsey generously opened the shop door.

He took a step forward, and the merchant apprentice trembled and took a step back, unable to utter a word.

"..."

"Linsey, what are you doing?"

Suddenly, a pleasant female voice rang out from the other end of the street.

The two turned their heads and saw Ailini appear at the corner of the riverbank.

The girl had arranged to meet Linsey today, but after waiting for a while, she didn't show up.

The businesswoman's vigilance alerted her to the problem.

Ailini immediately set off to check the situation, only to stumble upon the scene before her.

"This..."

Ailini's gaze darted between Linsey and the apprentice, and she quickly realized the situation.

The girl made a decision immediately.

She stepped forward and stood close to Linsey, holding her arm tightly in her arms.

After making this intimate gesture.

Ailini tossed her long purple hair seductively before giving the apprentice before her a gentle smile:

"Sorry, you've got the wrong person."

"Just tell Mr. Ya Li Kun that Linsey is my travel companion and my lover, and has nothing to do with stockings~~"

Please don't bother him anymore.
