In Lanling City, in the shop!
"Yu Haoran, can't you put down your pride, apologize to her, and ask for her forgiveness?"
In the Pagoda Spirit's eyes, a little trick like putting on an act wasn't really an offense. As long as he sincerely apologized and gave her the pill, it would definitely be able to resolve the resentment in her heart.
"Yes, and you don't have to give her the elixir!" Yu Haoran said with a cold smile as he looked around the hall.
"But it's useless!"
"Thaling, even if I ask for her forgiveness now, someone with ulterior motives will definitely tell the Prince of Lanling about it."
"And with this woman's position in the Prince of Lanling's heart, he won't care if I ask for her forgiveness or not. He will definitely send experts to kill me."
"I see!"
After hearing Yu Haoran's explanation, Thaling finally understood why Yu Haoran wanted him to use his Divine Thought to pick the most precious treasures in the hall.
That was because he was taking revenge on the owner of the shop by adding details to the story.
"Yu Haoran, in that case, go and get He Ruyu here now. Then, the two of you will have four chances to pick the items. We will take away the four most precious treasures in the hall!" Thaling suggested. Since it was revenge, he might as well be ruthless.
"That's right!"
After hearing Thaling's reminder, Yu Haoran quickly came to He Ruyu and told her what had happened just now. He also told her about his next plan.
"Haoran, why don't we leave now?"
As the leader of the Xiangshan Bandit Group, He Ruyu, who was closely related to the Emperor Qin, knew as much as Yu Haoran about the relationship between the Prince of Lanling and his sister-in-law.
Therefore, when she heard that Yu Haoran had unintentionally offended the Prince of Lanling's sister-in-law, her first reaction was to run away immediately.
"There's no hurry for now!"
Yu Haoran said confidently as he gestured to He Ruyu not to worry.
"Because the shop hasn't checked the treasures we picked yet, that woman doesn't know that she was cheated. This means that I haven't offended her yet."
"When that woman realizes that she has been tricked by me, someone will have an excuse to inform the Prince of Lanling."
"By then, we will have left Lanling City. Even if King Lanling wants to catch me, it won't be easy."
"Alright, you decide!"
After hearing Yu Haoran's explanation, He Ruyu, who didn't have any ideas due to her panic, could only listen to him for the time being.
"Yu Haoran, the owner of this shop is really shady!" Thaling could not help but exclaim after using his beginner Martial Honor Divine Sense to check the thousands of items in the hall.
"Other than the elixir bottle and jade pendant that you picked just now, as well as the bracelet that was used to help He Ruyu put on an act, only seven of the thousands of items are authentic."
"Moreover, among the seven authentic items, only the Storage Bracelet that can be used to store items, the Soul Stone that can help a Martial Grandmaster to raise one's Spiritual Strength by a small stage, and a damaged Lower Emperor Stage Sword. Apart from that, the remaining four authentic items are not even worth a single Rank Eight Spiritual Stone."
"All businessmen are cunning. This is normal!"
Yu Haoran was not too disgusted by the shop owner's actions.
After all, picking up scraps was equivalent to gambling!
Although the chances of winning were low, one was willing to do all of this.
"Ruyu, go and get that bracelet, that sword with a slightly damaged tip, and that dark and swarthy stone!"
According to Thaling's reminder, Yu Haoran gave He Ruyu three items that she should pick.
Then, he took away a jade slip.
"Let's go!"
He lifted his head to look at the beautiful young lady and realized that she had also picked out three items. She was about to leave the hall and go to the counter to verify them.
"Haoran, why don't we wait for a while and verify them after the woman leaves the shop? That way, we won't offend her." An idea flashed through He Ruyu's mind when she saw the beautiful young lady leaving the hall. She quickly reminded them.
"Ruyu, don't have any illusions. Even if the woman verifies the three items that she has picked out, the shop owner will not let her leave easily."
"Even if we are stalling for time, they will believe us and ask us to verify the items that we have picked out before the woman leaves."
"After all, in order to gain a foothold in Lanling City, the strongest backing is the Prince of Lanling. The shop owner will not let go of the chance to get in touch with the Prince of Lanling."
In fact, Yu Haoran had his suspicions. He suspected that the reason why the beautiful young lady was interested in the elixir bottle was related to the shop owner. It was highly possible that the shop owner's initial intention was to please the beautiful young lady and get in touch with the Prince of Lanling through her.
However, since he knew the secret of the elixir bottle in advance, he had ruined the shop owner's plan and allowed them to find a better way to get close to the Prince of Lanling.
When Yu Haoran brought He Ruyu out of the hall and came to the counter, they saw the shop assistant serving the beautiful young lady tea while telling her some strange stories that happened in the shop. He was trying to entice the beautiful young lady to stay in the shop for the time being.
When the beautiful young lady and the shop assistant behind the counter saw Yu Haoran leaving the hall, they were pleasantly surprised.
He Ruyu, who had been paying attention to the beautiful young lady, also saw the shop assistant serving her. Her eyes were filled with surprise and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Perhaps the shop assistant wanted to expose Yu Haoran's trick to deceive the beautiful young lady as soon as possible. Originally, there was only one shop assistant who was verifying the authenticity of the items. With the appearance of Yu Haoran and He Ruyu, another shop assistant was added.
Moreover, the shop assistant who strengthened the authenticity of the items pointed out that he wanted to verify the three items that Yu Haoran had picked out.
Yu Haoran didn't care about that.
He walked to the counter and placed the three items that he had picked out on the counter. He even signaled He Ruyu to place the three items that she had picked out on the counter at the same time.
"Blood Coagulation Elixir, and it's a sixth-order first-grade Blood Coagulation Elixir!"
The shop assistant who was arranged to check the items knew that the shop owner had arranged it on purpose.
Therefore, when he saw the six items that Yu Haoran and He Ruyu placed on the counter, he immediately checked the elixir bottle that contained the elixir. He even poured the elixir out and exclaimed loudly.
