Zhang Tie directly pulled Bai Suxian out of the gate of Semi-jade Pavilion. After walking for a short distance, Zhang Tie let go of Bai Suxian's hand.
Bai Suxian was still furious, "That guy is too abominable. Why didn't you teach him a lesson..."
"They're waiting for you to fight me!" Zhang Tie replied with a smile.
"What do you mean?"
"As long as either of us couldn't stand to fight him just now, the guards outside would rush in. In the chaos, as long as one of us died there, we might have to pay for the death of some dare-to-die fighters of others. In Xuanyuan Hill, even knights would be sentenced to death if they killed someone for no reason." Zhang Tie said with a faint icy smile.
"How dare they!" Bai Suxian exclaimed furiously with widely opened eyes.
"As you're the princess of Lord Guangnan's Mansion, of course, they dare not do anything to you. They're aiming at me. I've not imagined that Semi-jade Pavilion is under the direct control of Gold and Power Market. I'm afraid that Han Yuanhong has already known it the moment we entered Semi-jade Pavilion. Therefore, he has set up a trap for me. In someone else's store, someone else's item could be sold at the same price. After all, the deal had not been made yet. If we killed someone in someone else's store out of anger, it would be unreasonable if it was exposed to the public; we might even pay for it with our lives. That guy has arrived here half an hour ago. He's not alone, he's accompanied by 10 others. All the guards outside the gate and inside the store have been replaced. As long as we fight him, they would rush in and make it worse on purpose. They even want to kill someone. One of the guests who came in 20 minutes ago was a knight. He pretended to be here to buy a secret method in the room next to ours. He's the witness that they arranged!"
Although being in the room, Zhang Tie had seen everything with his knight's consciousness. The moment that guy who was slapped by Zhang Tie yesterday came in and provoked him, Zhang Tie had understood the opponent's arrangement and vicious trick at once. If it was a hot-blooded young man or a bit impulsive knight, he would fall into their trap the moment he started a fight.
In the small Semi-jade Pavilion, Zhang Tie wanted to trap an earth knight in the broad daylight. How many people could resist such a shrewd trick? The only thing that the mastermind had not imagined was that Zhang Tie who was as bad-tempered as a volcano yesterday was actually very good-tempered in normal days. Additionally, he was as meticulous as a hair in the center of the crisis. The moment Zhang Tie left with Bai Suxian, the mastermind didn't need to use the rest methods of the mastermind anymore …
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Bai Suxian changed her face as she felt a chill inside. Even though Bai Suxian was a woman, she knew that many heroes who had survived thousands of battles were finally defeated by the tricks of villains. What happened just now was actually pretty perilous. Bai Suxian's face changed at once as she felt a chill inside. Even though Bai Suxian was a woman, she knew that many heroes who had survived thousands of battles were finally defeated by the tricks of villains. The situation just now was actually pretty perilous.
Watching the bustling people on the street, nobody could imagine that an earth knight was almost framed here a few minutes ago. Even the warm sunshine in Xuanyuan Hill in winter couldn't drive away that bit of chill in Bai Suxian's heart.
"I will go demolish his sh * tty store right now!" Bai Suxian was driven furious.
"Hahaha, if you demolish it, you'll have to pay for it. If you're killed, you'll be in trouble. Even if you don't pay for it, they will find your dad to pay for it. It's Tianji's trick. As long as we compete with them, we will lose!"
"Should we just let them go like this?"
"We still have a long way to go!"
After buying the seed bank and visiting Semi-jade Pavilion, Bai Suxian and Zhang Tie didn't feel like wandering in Gold and Power Market anymore. Therefore, they directly left the market. Zhang Tie thought that he didn't need to spend hundreds of thousands of gold coins in vain anymore. Meanwhile, he didn't want to get a complete senior secret knowledge easily anymore. As for whether he could get a senior secret knowledge in the future, it depended on his luck.
…
Soon after they left Gold and Power Market, Han Yuanhong had received the news in Treasures Complex. Watching that guy who was kneeling down in front of him with a flurried look, Han Yuanhong comforted him, "You've tried your best. However, I've not imagined that Cui LI could be so shrewd. He could see through our arrangement. But it's nothing serious. He's just an earth knight. We still have a chance to kill him. We still have a long way to go."
…
'We still have a long way to go?'
Cui LI and Han Yuanhong both said the same thing in the end.
…
2 days later, in a small special auction in Treasures Complex …
"No. 17 space-teleportation equipment, 7,200 earth-element crystals once, 7,200 earth-element crystals twice, 7,200 earth-element crystals thrice … sold!"
When the auctioneer knocked down the small hammer, it was like knocking on Mountain Lifting Hermit's heart. Previously, Mountain Lifting Hermit looked a bit gloomy after hearing the previous three shouts. However, when the small hammer knocked down, Mountain Lifting Hermit's face turned pale...
Sitting on Mountain Lifting Hermit's side, Zhang Tie let out a sigh inside. Bai Suxian also watched Mountain Lifting Hermit with a sympathetic look. The starting price of that humble space-teleportation equipment was only 800 earth-element crystals. Who could imagine that the final transaction price of that space-teleportation equipment could reach 9 times that of the starting price? It had already far exceeded the market price in the past years and the acceptance of Mountain Lifting Hermit.
Mountain Lifting Hermit was determined to get this space-teleportation equipment. When Zhang Tie met Mountain Lifting Hermit today, he knew that Mountain Lifting Hermit had sold some items that he had collected over these years in Gold and Power Market. Plus his original savings, he had accumulated 7,100 earth-element crystals in total. He wanted to get this space-teleportation equipment. Unimaginably, he still failed to get it.
At the beginning, over 10 people competed for this space-teleportation equipment. After a few rounds of bidding, when the price of this space-teleportation equipment surpassed 4,000 earth-element crystals, most of them had given up. Two people even pushed the price of this space-teleportation equipment to 5,500 earth-element crystals. When Mountain Lifting Hermit quoted 5,600 earth-element crystals for the first time, the two people also gave up. The one who had been competing with Mountain Lifting Hermit was a person in front of them. That person was targeting Mountain Lifting Hermit on purpose. When others quoted, that person didn't quote; however, as long as Mountain Lifting Hermit quoted, that person would definitely add 100 earth-element crystals on the basis of Mountain Lifting Hermit's quotation.
Mountain Lifting Hermit finally quoted 7,100 earth-element crystals. When he quoted this price, Zhang Tie saw Mountain Lifting Hermit clenching his fists. However, soon after Mountain Lifting Hermit finished his words, the bidder who always opposed Mountain Lifting Hermit had quoted the price of 7,200 earth-element crystals.
At this moment, Mountain Lifting Hermit refused Zhang Tie's good intention to lend him earth-element crystals. Closely after that, he watched that space-teleportation equipment falling into someone else's pocket with a gloomy look after the auctioneer uttered the last words.
Even Bai Suxian felt that Mountain Lifting Hermit was a bit miserable at this moment. However, she didn't know how to comfort him. Zhang Tie didn't know what to say either. Although Zhang Tie had a lot of space-teleportation equipment, as an earth knight, Mountain Lifting Hermit had his dignity and persistence which could not be easily humiliated.
At this moment, the one who had been competing with Mountain Lifting Hermit turned around and revealed a pleasant smile at the three people as if he had won a battle.
Mountain Lifting Hermit loosened his tightly clenched fists at this moment. After forcing a smile, Mountain Lifting Hermit said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go!"
There were more items in the auction hall. However, Mountain Lifting Hermit didn't want to stay here anymore.
The three people then left their seats.
After walking out of the auction hall, they passed a winding corridor and were going to leave the Secret Items Pavilion. At this moment, Han Yuanhong appeared in front of the three people.
Han Yuanhong was throwing the space-teleportation finger ring like a toy as he watched Zhang Tie, Mountain Lifting Hermit and Bai Suxian in a condescending manner. "What? Don't you want to take a look at it?
"What? Don't you want to take a look at it? I'm sorry about that. I found this space-teleportation equipment was small and could be gifted to others casually. I've not imagined that it could disturb your plan. There are some more space-teleportation equipment to be auctioned. If you lack earth-element crystals, just let me know. As Hua knights, it's reasonable for us to help each other, hahahahaha …"
Mountain Lifting Hermit who was reluctant to part with that space-teleportation finger ring just now just threw a deep glance at Han Yuanhong's face. He didn't even glance at the item in Han Yuanhong's hand. Instead, he just walked over there with a glassy-eyed look. Bai Suxian wanted to lose her temper; however, Zhang Tie pulled her arm and they also walked over there.
Bai Suxian tried her best to control her fury as she glared at Han Yuanhong. Zhang Tie just revealed a smile as if he had not seen such a person in front of him.
Watching the three people walking over there, Han Yuanhong's smile froze for a second …
…
The three people directly left Treasures Complex.
"I will not come to such a sh * tty place anymore. It's so disgusting …" Bai Suxian said with a vicious look.
"Elder brother, where are you going?" Zhang Tie asked Mountain Lifting Hermit, "If elder brother is free these days, how about returning to Youzhou Province together in a few days?"
"Heaven never bars one's way. It doesn't mean that other places couldn't do it!" Mountain Lifting Hermit's face recovered a lot. When he talked with Zhang Tie, he even revealed a faint smile, "I prepare to try my luck in Taiyi City. It's the largest trading place for secret pearls in Taixia Country. Those knights who come back from the Earth-elements Realm would basically trade their secret pearls in Taiyi City. I could buy some secret pearls with these earth-elements crystals and try my luck there. After that, I will come for you in Youzhou Province!"
'There's a trading place for secret pearls in Taixia Country?' After hearing Mountain Lifting Hermit's words, Zhang Tie immediately remembered the name of Taiyi City. After hearing this name, Zhang Tie knew that this city might be related to Taiyi Fantasy Sect.
"Elder brother, when do you prepare to leave?"
Mountain Lifting Hermit looked up at the night sky which was covered with stars. After taking in a deep breath, he said straightforwardly, "Let's do it now..."
…
Half an hour later, Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian saw off Mountain Lifting Hermit out of Xuanyuan Hill.
'When an eagle is about to strike, it shrinks its wings and claws; when a fierce beast wants to pounce at you, it lowers its head.'
'Am I worse than a bird or a beast?'
When he saw Mountain Lifting Hermit flying towards afar like a meteor, Zhang Tie asked himself inside.
Zhang Tie replied with a smile …
9 days left and 3 trouble-reappearance fruits left …
…
In the following week, Zhang Tie didn't go to Gold and Power Market anymore. He just got up in the morning to feed birds; in the daytime, he would wander around the scenic spots and historical sites in Xuanyuan Hill with Bai Suxian; in the evening, he would cultivate alone in his room quietly. He didn't encounter any more troublesome things these days.
As for Zhang Tie, he still consumed one trouble-reappearance fruit every 3 days. However, Zhang Tie didn't feel distressed at all. As the trouble-reappearance fruits became fewer and fewer, Zhang Tie became less concerned about the results of the trouble-reappearance fruits.
As for Zhang Tie, he only needed to try his best to solve this problem.
On November 12, Zhang Tie's disciples, who had played outside for almost two weeks, finally came back. Everybody was in high spirits as if nothing had happened.
On November 13th, Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian swam across Fairy Lake in the daytime. In the evening, Zhang Tie produced a trouble-reappearance fruit at the fastest speed in his cultivation backroom. Closely after that, he turned this trouble-reappearance fruit into the trouble-reappearance situation as fast as possible …
Before entering the trouble-reappearance situation, Zhang Tie was as calm as still water. He didn't have any hope for the items in the trouble-reappearance situation anymore …
