Chapter 540 - Chapter 540: Chapter 222: The Little Girl in Fang Market_2 (2/2)
On the stall in front of the young girl, there were several porcelain bottles containing Elixir Medicines.
This little girl, she too sells Elixir Medicine.
Her slender frame, resolute eyes…
This little girl, she closely resembled Lin Jue when Lin Jing first met her.
Seeing the little girl, Lin Jue thought of her past self, immediately a nameless emotion surged in her heart.
Following that.
Lin Jue walked forward and softly asked the girl:
“Did you refine all these Elixir Medicines yourself?”
Seeing someone inquiring about the Elixir Medicines at her stall, the girl quickly came over to greet:
“Yes, senior…”
“All the Elixir Medicines at this stall were refined by me.”
“May I know what kind of Elixir Medicine the senior is looking for?”
Despite her young age, she was not in the least bit shy, and by the looks of it, she must have been running her stall in Fang Market for quite a while now.
Lin Jing looked at the little girl and couldn’t help feeling a sense of familiarity, as if he had once seen her as a little girl himself.
Then, Lin Jing couldn’t help but laugh, shaking his head…
Lin Jing hadn’t been out of Li Yan Island for a long time, so how could he recognize this eleven or twelve-year-old girl?
It was probably because she reminded him of Lin Jue of the past that he felt this familiarity.
Lin Jue then spoke:
“Could you please bring that bottle of Elixir Medicine here for me to look at?”
Lin Jue didn’t specify which Elixir Medicine she needed, but simply pointed at one of the porcelain bottles.
“Alright…”
“Please wait a moment, senior…”
The girl was very polite, saying so, she handed over the bottle of Elixir Medicine to him.
After receiving the bottle, Lin Jue did not directly open it but instead directly asked the girl:
“Little sister…”
“Where is your family? How come you’re here at the stall alone? Aren’t your family worried?”
After hearing this, the girl then looked up at Lin Jue. Perhaps it was because Lin Jue’s gaze was sincere that the girl let down her guard.
After hesitating for a moment, the girl replied:
“My mother has already passed away, and my father has been bedridden at home with injuries. Uncle Yan has also been constantly looking for medicine to help my father.”
This little girl, too, had a pitiable life story…
Lin Jue looked at the little girl, feeling a wave of sympathy.
However…
Just then, suddenly an untimely voice came from the side:
“So you finally showed up here, I’ve found you at last…”
Two cultivators with ferocious appearances were looking at the little girl, their eyes revealing a hint of cruelty.
Upon hearing the voice, the girl immediately turned pale with fright.
“It’s… it’s you…”
“How did you find this place?”
Among the two men, one bald man curled up the corners of his mouth, looked at the girl, and wore a sneer.
“Did you really think you could be safe by hiding out here?”
“Where’s your father? Call him out to face his death.”
Both cultivators had reached the Golden Core Stage of cultivation, especially the bald man who was at the Golden Core Late Stage.
Yet, these two were openly threatening the girl in Bihai City, indicating the brazenness of their courage.
The girl, frightened by the two, kept retreating until she bumped into a pillar behind her and finally came to a stop.
With nowhere to retreat, the girl then mustered her courage and said to the bald man:
“This is Bihai City, you can’t harm me and my father here.”
The bald man let out a sinister laugh:
“Heh heh…”
“Brat, you’re young, but you know quite a bit.”
“Of course, I won’t lay a hand on you in Bihai City, but can you always hide in Bihai City?”
“I doubt it, eh?”
“Especially with your father’s injuries, he probably can’t last much longer, can he?”
The words of the bald man caused the girl’s newfound courage to instantly collapse.
Facing the intimidation of the powerful Golden Core Cultivator, she was without any support, appearing completely lost and even unsure of how to retort…
