"Wait, I need to buy some for Old Zhong."
Su Susu said casually when they were about to leave after dinner. It was not a big deal, but Du Feng felt something was amiss.
Others might not know who Old Zhong was, but the mole group and the people at the auction house knew him. If someone paid attention, they might notice something was amiss. As he paid the bill, he scanned the surroundings with his Divine Sense and found that two men were looking at him. He didn't know whether they were doing it intentionally or unintentionally.
"Let's go. Grandpa is going to buy you a present."
Du Feng was addicted to pretending to be an old grandpa. He led Su Susu out of the bun shop as if he was his granddaughter. Su Susu had been hiding ever since she arrived at Chilly Winter City. She had not had the chance to have fun yet. She could finally enjoy herself. Girls loved shopping, so she decided to go to the shops first.
Even martial artists didn't necessarily have to buy weapons and armors when they went shopping. They could buy some accessories or a few sets of nice clothes. After the two entered the jewelry store, Su Susu jumped up and down in joy. She kept putting the hairpin and necklace on her head and body, dancing with joy like a happy little bird.
"Tsk, who is this country girl? She has never seen the world."
After a while, two young men came into the shop, each accompanied by a servant. Du Feng didn't want to deal with these people. After all, it was not convenient for him and Su Susu to be exposed.
"Who are you calling a country girl? Who are you calling a country girl?"
Su Susu couldn't stand it anymore. She was a beauty after all. It was only because she was wearing a mask that she looked like a country girl.
"So what if I'm talking about you? No one would want you even if you were to be sold as a slave."
One of the young men glanced at Su Susu and looked down on her.
"That Lil Bei from last time is not bad. Too bad we can't afford him. He was sold to another city to participate in the auction."
Du Feng wanted to stop Su Susu from quarreling with the two young men. Suddenly, he heard one of them talking about selling female slaves. He also mentioned someone's name. It seemed to be Lil Bei. If I remember correctly, the Queen of the Far North once said that Jing Lili called her Lil Bei.
"Sirs, is the Xiaobei you mentioned a girl in a blue dress?"
He quickly went up to ask if the person they were talking about was the Queen of the Far North. If that was the case, he might be able to find the first caravan that sold her. If he found the caravan, he would be able to understand how Jing Lili sold the Queen of the Extreme North.
"What's the matter, sir? You also want to buy beautiful female slaves? You're already so old, you should take care of your health."
One of the young masters saw that Du Feng was dressed so simply and had a white beard, so he didn't take him seriously at all.
"Haha, I think he wants to sell his granddaughter for money. Look at how poor he is, he better get out of here. Don't dirty the shop."
Another Young Lord was even more arrogant. He demanded Du Feng to take Su Susu out of the room.
"I don't think it's appropriate for the two of you to talk like that. The shop is opened to sell things. There's no reason to kick people out."
Du Feng suppressed his anger and spoke to them politely. After all, this was the Winter City, and it was not suitable to fight with others. Once a fight broke out, his identity would be easily exposed.
"Why didn't you kick people out? This shop is owned by my uncle. You can get out of here just because he said so."
Unexpectedly, the Young Lord was even more disdainful after listening to him. He even came up to push Du Feng. What was more annoying was that his servant even tried to tear Su Susu apart, wanting to kick her out as well. How could Du Feng allow himself to be pushed by him? He easily dodged the attack. At the same time, he gently hooked his foot, causing the Young Lord to lose his balance and fall to the ground.
Originally, this was not a big deal. Because he took the initiative to rush up, he fell down and did not violate the rules of the Winter City. However, there was a problem on Su Susu's side. In the process of tearing with the servant, her mask was removed.
"Oh, it turns out to be a beautiful girl."
Originally, the Young Lord fell to the ground and was angry. When he turned around, he saw Su Susu's face, and his eyes lit up. This kind of girl with a small face and big eyes was the type of girl that he liked.
"Block the door. They can't get away."
The Young Lord reacted quickly and asked the servant to block the door. Just a moment ago, he said that he wanted to chase Du Feng away, but now he was not letting them go. Not only did he not let them go, but he also had other ideas.
"Uncle, didn't you want to sell your granddaughter? Sell her to me."
His thoughts were quite simple. He actually thought that Du Feng was poor. He asked about the female slaves and the caravan so that he could sell his granddaughter for a good price.
"That's right. How much do you want? My brother has money."
Another Young Lord followed suit, as if he was sure that Du Feng and Su Susu would be able to get away with it. Since Su Susu was wearing a mask, she probably had something to hide from others. Therefore, he took the opportunity to threaten and bribe them.
"I advise you to get out of here, or it will be too late for regrets."
Du Feng pulled Su Susu to his side and put on another mask for her. It was a good thing that the door was closed. People outside would not be able to see them. If the mole gang saw Su Susu's real face, they would recognize her immediately.
"Who are you trying to scare? If you don't hand her over, we will report you to the authorities and say that you stole from the shop."
"That's right. I saw it too. They stole from the shop."
The two Young Lords were quite good at playing along. They were sure that Du Feng and Su Susu did not dare to report to the authorities.
"Alright, then go ahead and report it to the authorities. If the Castellan finds out that you are trying to force him to sell you, you will be in big trouble. "
Of course, Du Feng would not be intimidated. Besides, he did not do anything wrong. He just didn't want to be recognized by the mole gang. He did not offend anyone from the Castellan's Mansion.
One of the Young Lords gave a look and a servant went to report to the authorities. After a while, a few city guards came in. Interestingly enough, they closed the door after they came in. Since they were officials, they should be investigating the case openly. Why did they close the door? Did they not want others to see them?
Du Feng rolled his eyes and realized that the city guards must know the shop owner. The young man who wanted to buy Su Susu was the nephew of the owner of the shop. In other words, they were in cahoots with each other.
"You two, why aren't you handing over the loot?"
