Chapter 32 Misunderstanding (2/2)

Inadvertently, Lyu Xinyun called to mind how Lyu Liang stood in between Li Wuyi and her and how Lyu Liang eventually got her out of the situation. For a second, she was enthralled by Lyu Liang's smiling face, but she quickly put the thought away, thinking it was an illusion. To her surprise, she was actually feeling a sense of loss at this moment!

Since they had bumped into each other, he had to at least go over and greet her. At this moment, all the people in the hall had stopped whatever they were doing and fixed their gaze on this out-of-the-world beauty. At the same time, many of them were looking at Lyu Liang with curiosity, because it was obvious that he knew this beautiful fairy.

Lyu Liang was the first to go over to Shangguan Ying. Having his eyes fixed on her, he could not even bring himself to utter a word. On the other hand, Shangguan Ying blushed and lowered her head. Anyone could tell there was something between the two of them.

”Ahem, ahem!” Aunt Green could not keep quiet any longer. Seeing that one of them was in a daze and the other acting like an idiot, they really were made for each other! However, how could she allow them to be a spectacle?

Snapped back into reality by Aunt Green's coughs, Lyu Liang and Shangguan Ying realized the awkwardness and was about to break the silence by saying something, when the shopkeeper's voice sounded from the stairs.

”Pardon me for taking so long, my three distinguished guests! I've gathered all the magic treasures you requested, except one, which I needed to discuss further with you!” the shopkeeper came over quickly to them, carrying a sack with him and putting it down before Lyu Liang.

Both Lyu Liang and Shangguan Ying were thankful that the shopkeeper came at the right moment. They gave each other a knowing smile and turned their eyes to the sag of itmes.

Lyu Liang tried to concentrate on the magic treasures brought to him by the shopkeeper.

What Zhang Ran requested was the simplest item so they picked out those two Bottleneck-breaking Pills of mid grade quality first and they cost 200 mid grade Primordial Stones!

The shopkeeper showed Lyu Liang three different units of mini portable cave residence. The only differences were their sizes. The smallest of the all could at most fit two of Giant Tiger and it cost 150 mid grade Premordial Stones. The next bigger one could accomodate five of Giant Tiger and cost 250 mid grade Premordial Stones. The biggest of them all could fit ten of Giant Tiger and cost 500 mid grade Premordial Stones!

Lyu Liang pondered over it and decided that the biggest of them was out of question, since it was too expensive! However, the one which cost 150 stones was too small. Finally, he chose to take the cave residence that cost 250 stones.

As for Lyu Xinyun, all four of the items she requested, which were Nascent Soul stage magic treasures, added up to cost a total of 310 mid grade Premodial Stones.

When it was time to pay for their purchase, Zhang Ran presented 200 mid grade Premordial Stones. Looked like Zhang Ran had come from relatively well off family after all. Lyu Xinran on the other hand was also able to take out 210 mid grade Premordial Stones, which were likely all that the Lyu family prepared for her.

”Erm, would it be alright if I owe 100 mid grade Premordial Stones? I'll send a letter home to request for more. Once I receive the stones from home, I'll come to repay you!” Lyu Xinyun implored softly.

”Ah... aren't you... aren't you making things difficult for me? You have to understand that the first rule in Tianshui Pavilion is never to owe us money for your purchase. I really can't make a decision like this! How about you just take two items this time?” the shopkeeper was put in a tight spot, so he could only answer Lyu Xinyun this way.

”But... but I need all four items urgently...” Lyu Xinyun started to panic. Hunyuan Sword Immortal had instructed his disciples to get these items as soon as they have the chance to purchase them. They were especially beneficial in cultivation the 'Great Manual of Heavenly Enchantment'.

”Not to worry, aren't you just short of 100 stones? Just put it on me! Together with this cave residence, that will be a total of 350 mid grade Premordial Stones. Taking into accounts the 200 stones for down payment, here's the balance of 150 more. Please count them to see if it's correct?” While Lyu Xinyun was still worrying over her problem, Lyu Liang had already handed three upper grade Premordial Stones and 50 mid grade Premordial Stones into the shopkeeper's hands.

Lyu Liang did not take long to consider since he had all the while wanted to take care of Lyu Xinyun because she was his sister after all. He did not know when he would meet her again and he was determined to help her when this opportunity arose.

However, these started two people pondering...

Both Lyu Xinyun and Shangguan Ying were stunned when Lyu Liang offered to pay for Lyu Xinyun. However, what happened after told them apart.

Lyu Xinyun's eyes suddenly sparkled and she started blushing. In contrast, Shangguan Ying's face drained of its colors and her eyes seemed to be welling up with tears.

Lyu Liang, still making payment to the shopkeepers, was totally oblivious to the fact that he had initiated such an awkward situation...

It was Zhang Ran who realized what was happening. Shaking his head and smiling helplessly, he thought, ”Big brother, oh my big brother! It may appear that you are so skilled in your cultivation, but right now, you're really behaving like an idiot! While you behave so generously, the two ladies are going to develop a big misunderstanding towards you...”

”Lyu.. Mister Lyu, I just remembered I have something to attend to. I'll make a move first!” Shangguan Ying stammered and finally got the words out of her lips. Thereafter, she lowered her head and ran towards the stairs. There seemed to be tear drops running down her cheeks.

”What an idiot you are, Liang! Idiot! Moron! Hurry up and transmit a voice message to her to explain yourself, otherwise it will be too late!” Blackie could not bear to see what was happening and started rebuking Lyu Liang for being a idiot.
