The Mysterious Woman
The shop owner saw Ye Xuan take two scrolls.
He couldn't help but shake his head.
"We don't sell these, because these scrolls are our samples. After all, we need these samples to copy when we write by hand."
"If we sell the samples, we won't be able to do business anymore."
He was taken aback by these words.
Are these scrolls actually samples?
Then he noticed several scrolls nearby.
These include "Shennong's Medicinal Arts" and "Mental Arithmetic".
"Aren't there still some left over? You don't need to keep so many samples, do you?"
"Is it because of a minor disagreement that you're refusing to sell to us?"
The shop owner was somewhat displeased upon hearing this.
"Sir, we are just small businesses, operating on a very small scale. How could we possibly not do business?"
"Business has been booming lately; both high-end and low-end products are in short supply."
"Sir, what you're holding is a sample, while the others over there were ordered by the two ladies. They'll be coming to pick them up today, so they've been placed separately."
"If you'd like to buy, sir, it's best to make an appointment in advance. Alternatively, you could look at some of the cheaper bamboo slips; the content is the same, only the materials differ slightly."
Seeing that the shopkeeper was completely unmoved, the person standing nearby Wushuang eyes became quite annoyed.
"It's an honor for my master to buy one of your books."
"You should know that my master is of noble status. If you still don't know your place and what's good for you, don't blame me for being impolite."
She simply couldn't stand that anyone dared to refuse His Human Emperor.
His Human Emperor has devoted himself to the well-being of the entire nation, working tirelessly and selflessly, and now he's being refused entry to buy a book?
This person kept making excuses, which she found quite annoying.
Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside.
"If the shop owner doesn't want to sell, are you going to force them to buy it?"
"What a scoundrel who abuses his master's power! I was surprised to find you had some looks, but you're actually a heartless viper. Truly, a wicked master begets a wicked servant."
Ye Xuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
What a spoiled brat!
He turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound.
But she turned out to be a rather cute-looking young girl.
This little girl has a pure and innocent look, a delicate and pretty face, and is dressed very exquisitely. In terms of temperament, she is quite a little beauty.
However, in terms of childhood memories, it was a bit too young.
Perhaps in a few years she will blossom into a beautiful woman, who knows?
At this moment, the little girl was glaring coldly at Wushuang.
Ye Xuan couldn't help but laugh at that fierce expression.
Wushuang revealed a cold smile.
"Where did this little brat come from?"
"How dare they use such foul language! They have absolutely no manners!"
The little girl was even more furious upon hearing this.
Who are you calling ill-mannered?
"The shopkeeper already said they weren't selling, but you insisted on forcing them to buy, and then you even accused them of being ill-mannered?"
"She really is a viperous woman, take this!"
As she spoke, a magical artifact appeared in her hand.
Before anyone could even see what it was, the woman casually tossed it out.
That speed is truly terrifying.
However, Wushuang and Daji were at the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, so these kinds of tricks were really not worth mentioning in their eyes.
Just as he was about to destroy the magical artifact, Ye Xuan stopped him.
He was just out for a stroll and had no intention of causing trouble.
This little girl isn't a bad person; there's no need to get into a conflict with her.
He simply waved his hand and sent the magic weapon flying back.
"Alright, we don't need this book."
Just as she was about to put the book down, she noticed a stunningly beautiful woman appear behind the little girl.
Ye Xuan was slightly taken aback.
This woman seems to be almost too beautiful.
He was wearing a moon-white robe.
With her hair as black as clouds and her figure slender, she truly had the air of a peerless beauty.
However, the woman's face was veiled in a moon-white veil.
Their specific appearance is not very clear.
But the exposed eyes were incredibly bright, seemingly sparkling with crystal-clear light.
Her overall image exudes a mysterious yet elegant and noble aura, which even Ye Xuan couldn't help but glance at her twice.
"Ladies and young master, my maid has a rather volatile temper. It's quite unbecoming of her to act rashly in the middle of the street."
"I apologize in advance."
The woman's voice was extremely ethereal, as if she were a peerless celestial being.
Ye Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
I seem to have gained some understanding of this woman's identity.
"It's alright, I'm just a woman with a bit of a temper."
"In that case, we're even."
"Actually, I just like these strange and unusual techniques. I was fortunate enough to see these books today, and I really like them, so I thought I'd buy them to see the whole picture."
"These books must have been ordered by the two young ladies, right?"
My actions were indeed somewhat inappropriate.
He then waved his hand and put the book down.
His tone was clear and his attitude was gentle.
The gentle breeze, which nourishes all things, immediately eased the tension between the two parties.
But the little girl seemed a bit unconvinced, glaring angrily at Ye Xuan.
"Sister, don't let this guy fool you. He's trying to force you to buy something."
"In my opinion, he's just a bully. He claims to know some strange arts? He's probably just trying to fool my sister."
"This guy is no good."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but let out a wry smile.
It seems this little girl does have a rather volatile temper.
It's quite extraordinary for a maid to go to such lengths.
"Actually, I have quite a bit of knowledge about esoteric arts and divination, but you've misunderstood, young lady."
"Once upon a time, a row of ten trees was planted along an official road. The distance between the trees was one zhang (approximately 3.3 meters). How far was the distance between the first tree and the last tree?"
Actually, this is a fairly simple math problem.
For Ye Xuan in his previous life, even ordinary elementary school students could calculate it.
In this day and age, it really is a difficult problem.
Seeing this spoiled brat actually testing her like this, the little maid immediately became somewhat disdainful.
Wouldn't that be like showing off one's limited skills before an expert, making a fool of oneself?
"What's so difficult about that? The distance between the trees is one zhang (approximately 3.3 meters), and there are ten trees in total, so naturally it's a distance of ten zhang. You dare to use such childish tricks to test me?"
"Wouldn't that be laughable?"
Seeing the little maid's smug smile, Ye Xuan couldn't help but reveal a half-smile, but ultimately remained silent.
That's enough to say.
If we keep going, we'll lose interest.
Ye Xuan shook his head, and was about to turn and leave when...
But then they heard the woman in white speak.
"Xiao Tu'er, you've been deceived! How dare you be so presumptuous in front of the young master when you're so foolish? It's truly your fault."
Seeing the maid's puzzled expression, the woman began to explain softly.
"It's truly embarrassing for you to flaunt your limited intelligence in front of the young master."
