He hurried downstairs. The moment he rushed out through the courtyard gate, he saw two familiar figures in the distance, supporting each other as they limped toward him.
It was Fang Yuan and Bai Jin'er!
Fang Yuan in particular had bruises all over his face and two enormous black eyes like a panda's.
He had probably been beaten so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.
Bai Jin'er looked somewhat better. She had no visible injuries, but her eyes were slightly red, as though she had been crying.
Chun Xiaobai's expression instantly darkened at the sight.
He strode over, pointed at the injuries on Fang Yuan's face, and asked in an icy voice.
"What happened?"
"W-well..." Fang Yuan trembled in fright when he saw Chun Xiaobai and began to stammer.
"Great King..."
His face swollen like a pig's head, Fang Yuan stuttered, "W-we went to sell tickets, and people... people took us for scammers and beat us up."
"Huh?" Chun Xiaobai froze.
"They... they took you for scammers and beat you up?"
Bai Jin'er nodded, her lips pursed in grievance, and added, "We spent all day looking for customers the day before yesterday, but we couldn't find a single one."
"We felt... felt too ashamed to come back, so we decided to try again today. But... but as soon as we went out, a crowd surrounded us, grabbed us as scammers, and gave us a beating."
"Uh..." Chun Xiaobai was dumbfounded.
"So they fucking took you for con artists?"
He understood at once. These two didn't have the slightest talent for sales.
They must have grabbed people and immediately asked whether they wanted a blessed cultivation ground with sixty times the Spiritual Qi.
Two thousand Spirit Stones bought a cultivation environment with sixty times the Spiritual Qi concentration.
