Chapter 43 (2/2)

Qin Yu started by asking the current state of the Hundred Treasures List, the scope of the Righteous and Demonic Factions battle, and which cities in the Alliance are allowed to exchange items . So that he can be certain if the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo is still exchangeable, since this place is the most certain to know this .

Towards this stiff faced youth regarding him with hostility before him, Qin Yu was a bit surprised, but soon recalled the dazed female cultivator from earlier . He smiled inside but shows no concern, sending his though inside the jade slip .

10th : Heavenly Thunder Bamboo .

Luckily, no one s.n.a.t.c.hed it .

Qin Yu was smiling faintly, making the youth’s face increasingly ugly . He doesn’t want to admit it, that, although ordinary, his smile is too attractive! A grown-up man having this smile, is definitely up to no good!

“Anything else? We’re very busy!” These hard words, actually revealing his insecurity, a common occurrence with hot-blooded youngsters .

Qin Yu smiled, putting down the jade slip, about to leave .

The female cultivator panicked, glared at the youth, and went over with a reddening face, “He is frustrated from constant work, please don’t blame him fellow Daoist . ”

Qin Yu shook his head, “I understand . ”

His plain manner, unintentionally showed his generosity, making the female cultivator’s heartbeat to speed up, so she quickly changed to a better topic, “Fellow Daoist, want to see the items of the Hundred Treasures List to confirm they are still here?”

It wouldn’t hurt, thus, Qin Yu nodded with a smile .

She relaxed a bit, then hastily added, “In fact, fellow Daoist can use some merits too reserve an item on the list . And on the event that someone with more merits than you wants to reserve or exchange for it, we will notify that the item will be detain by you for seven days . ”

Qin Yu’s eyes brightened slightly, “Then I would like to reserve an item . ”

The youth who saw him in a bad light snorted coldly, “To reserve an item on the Hundred Treasures List, it is required at least thirty percent of its value . The higher it is, the bigger this limit, as to avoid any indignities!”

The female cultivator clenched her teeth, “Shut up!” Then on more carrying voice, “In the limits of my authority, the most I can do is to lower this limit by ten percent . ”

The youth felt it in the pit of his stomach, almost bringing him to tears, ‘Senior sister, how can you so openly show your favor . And what about me!’

Qin Yu smiled, declining, “It’s alright, I have enough merits . Please reserve the tenth item on the Hundred Treasures List . ”

The female cultivator’s heart jumped, ‘Gathering almost half the price in such a short time . He must be skilled . ’ Her voice became softer, “Alright, I will immediately help you reserve it . ” She turned and beckoned, “Shan Shan, quickly take out the records . ”

Seeing her close friend staring blankly next to the restroom, she stamped her foot, speaking annoyed, “What are you staring at . Hurry up and bring it over!”

The youth snorted coldly, “Heavenly Thunder Bamboo? Are you certain fellow Daoist, or are you trying to make trouble for Merit Hall!”

“Positive . ” Qin Yu flatly replied, “The one that I want reserved is precisely the tenth item on the Hundred Treasures List, Heavenly Thunder Bamboo . ”

Everyone in the Merit Hall had weird expressions . The earnest att.i.tude of Qin Yu’s, made them unsure of how to react, ‘Just at 6th layer Foundation Establishment… and you still dare say it!’

The youth let a hearty laugh, “Do you know how much it costs? Do you know there has been no one who has exchanged or reserved the first ten items? Do you know your limits?” He fervently said, ‘Such a fool, seeking fame through any means . I will use this chance to expose his true colors in front of junior sister Zi Qiong!’

Gasping for air, he was waiting for Qin Yu to be embarra.s.sed or to deny it, but it never came . Qin Yu took his ident.i.ty badge, talking to the female cultivator, “I’ll be troubling you to reserve it . ”

Zi Qiong was a bit dazed, “You… really want to reserve the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo?”

Qin Yu nodded, “Yes . ”

The youth’s rage suddenly peaked, s.n.a.t.c.hing the ident.i.ty badge, “I’ll help you exchange the deeds into merits first . Let’s see if you deserve to be so arrogant!”

Some cultivators watched Qin Yu with respect, secretly saying ‘When doing everything to chase after women, having confidence isn’t enough . It will end up in ruining yourself, with no dignity left to speak of . ’

Zi Qing bit her lip, considering stopping him from humiliating himself, but couldn’t find an excuse, and only gave a reproaching glare . ‘This guy, really! Did he not understand my intention, and still wants to use this manner to get my attention?’

What should I do? You will be demeaned!

Zi Qing gazed at Qin Yu still unfazed . There was no loath in her heart, but a deep curiosity instead . ‘This guy’s skin is really thick, still acting like it’s an everyday occurrence . Does he want to this method to make me remember him?’ Thinking thusly, her face reddened a bit, her heart suddenly pounding .

What do I do if he asks me to be with him? Do I agree, or… should I agree? Should I be more aloof? Women say that men are fickle . If you’re too easy, he won’t cherish you .

A sudden cry woke Zi Qing from her chaotic thoughts . She raised her head slightly fl.u.s.tered, as if she was caught red handed . All except Qin Yu, stared wide eyed, being shocked to the core . Her heart shrank, slowly turning around and seeing the merit board, a deep, rich and awe-inspiring purple light .
