C264 Is that a problem? (2/2)
Huo Wu didn't feel awkward at all when he was staring at her in such a daze. Instead, she was quite angry.
”Hey, I'm asking you!” Her long, shapely eyebrows slightly knitted, and her questioning voice was actually so pleasant to listen to, ”Why are you looking at me instead of answering me!”
”My apologies, Miss!” It took the man a moment to recover his wits, but he gave her a gentleman's bow and replied nervously, ”It's like this …” Look, did you see the wood box that the herdsman was carrying? It's said to contain his family heirloom! Because the horses that were raised in the family have been chased away by the wolves, they had no choice but to come to our Imperial City to sell them. Who would have thought that after standing here for a whole day, no one would care about them?
Upon hearing this, many bright flowers bloomed on Huo Wu's snow-white face. She then said, ”Thanks!”
”No thanks, no thanks,” the man quickly blushed as he replied, ”It's my honor to be able to serve the young miss … ”About that, may I know Miss's name?”
Because of his nervousness, he lowered his head when he asked for Huo Wu's name. However, when he raised his head, he couldn't find any trace of the beautiful woman in front of him.
”It's your fortune that my family's lord has taken a liking to you, why are you spouting so much nonsense!” A Attendant who was standing behind a man dressed like a Magician, shouted at the impoverished man as if he was reprimanding a child, ”It's best if you obediently take this thing and leave, don't disgrace yourself here!”
As he spoke, he took out a steel sword that he wore and handed it to the man.
The man did not take it, but hugged onto the wood box tightly, repeating what he had said countless times, ”My whole family is still pointing at it selling money for food!”
”Heh, a little herdsman like you dares to go against my lord?” Seeing that he still didn't know how to appreciate a favor, the man couldn't help but threaten, ”This sword is definitely worth more than the broken thing in your hand! If you don't agree, then don't blame us for being impolite! ”
As he spoke, the few burly men behind him waved the weapons in their hands towards him as if in a demonstration.
The impoverished man still did not answer him and continued, ”My entire family is still pointing to it selling money for food!”
Magician was getting impatient, he took a step back and waved his hand, ordering coldly, ”Go, attack!”
When his subordinates heard this, they rushed forward to take the downtrodden men!
However, just as they were about to come into contact with the man, they were stopped by two beauties.
The fiery-red robed beauty smiled as she grabbed the steel sword that was used as an exchange item and carefully sized it up.
Seeing that his own sword had been stolen away, the man couldn't care less about enjoying the beautiful 'scenery' and loudly cursed, ”Little girl, why did you steal my sword!?”
”Old men, why would I snatch your sword when I have nothing to do?” She took the sword and flicked it with her finger, imitating the tone of a man as she said, ”Listening to this voice, it's basically common. I even thought it was dirty on my hands, and you still want to use this thing to exchange for someone else's family heirloom? You're dreaming!”
The man couldn't help but blush when he heard that. With a flash, he wanted to snatch the sword back.
”Wait!” Who knew that Huo Wu would slowly turn the tip of sword around and point at him, saying, ”Could it be that you want to make a move on a little girl like me?”
The sunlight shone down onto the bright tip of sword, reflecting a glaring light that shone onto the man's eyes. He did not want to lose his life like this, so he suddenly stopped his body, wanting to find an opportunity to make a move.
Huo Wu looked at him and turned around. She pointed to the wood box in the hands of the impoverished man and asked him softly, ”Uncle, how much are you planning to sell it for?”
Hearing this, the man's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be in high spirits.
”Of course the more the better!”
With just one sentence, he had amused everyone who came to watch. They all thought that he really was a boorish fellow.
Hearing that, Yin Feng who was in the crowd frowned, and asked Chang Jing who was beside him: ”Teacher, do you think that this is a double play that they were playing, just waiting for someone like Huo Wu to take the bait and buy it?”
”Do you think so?” Chang Jing laughed, ”Why don't you tell me if they are lying or not?”
But after asking, there was no response. The two of them turned to look, only to find him standing there by himself in a daze.
Yin Feng secretly pulled on his clothes and reminded him, ”Teacher is asking you a question!”
”Hmm?!” Instead of answering, Nian Bing asked Chang Jing, ”Teacher, did you notice that there seemed to be a faintly discernable magic aura floating over here? The kind that is both powerful and seemingly weak! ”
Hearing his words, Chang Jing and Yin Feng could really feel it.
”Are you referring to the pure water magic aura here?”
