Lu Ping coming to Pine Creek Town was entirely due to Lin Tianbiao's arrangements. This didn't conflict much with Lu Ping's own wishes, so he had agreed. Otherwise, with no one else paying attention to him in the five academies, he wouldn't have come to participate in this group activity.
Lin Tianbiao and Lu Ping had initially walked together after leaving the academy, but there were too many people who wanted to get close to Lin Tianbiao. Lin Tianbiao couldn't just focus on Lu Ping and ignore others. In the end, he finally blended into the crowd, and Lu Ping lagged behind alone. But now that he had arrived at the town's trade street and started shopping, the first person Lin Tianbiao thought of was still Lu Ping.
The other newcomers were already used to Lin Tianbiao's closeness with Lu Ping and didn't think much of it. On the other hand, when Zhuang Yong realized that there was actually someone who needed the Lin Family's Second Young Master's attention, he didn't dare to be negligent. He followed Lin Tianbiao's line of sight and saw an unremarkable youth in the crowd walking over after hearing Lin Tianbiao's call.
The youth's clothes were very old and looked to have been mended several times. They were also a bit small. Compared to Lin Tianbiao's well-tailored clothes, it was like heaven and earth. What puzzled Zhuang Yong even more was the color of the clothes. Even with his experienced eyes, he couldn't tell how the clothes were dyed. When Lu Ping got closer, Zhuang Yong noticed a few spots on his clothes that were clean and light. When he compared them with the dark clothes, he suddenly realized what was going on.
It was blood!
That strange dark color was blood that hadn't been washed off. Had the youth's clothes been soaked in blood?
Who was this? “
Lu Ping?
Lu Ping?! "
Zhuang Yong repeated the name Lin Tianbiao had just called out several times in his mind before he suddenly reacted.
It was that Lu Ping?
The Lu Ping who provoked the Institute Supervisory Board of the Empire Xuan Jun, destroyed the city lord office of the Canyon Peak District, and was wanted by the Empire?
Zhuang Yong rarely went to the Chang Feng Empire for his business, but he often went to Green Peak and Xuan Jun. How could he not know that the Xuan Army Empire had issued a wanted order for him? Although he remembered that there was more than one person on the wanted list, no matter how many people were involved in such a big thing, every one of them must be ruthless.
Lu Ping, that name seems to be on the wanted list, right?
Because there were a few of them, Zhuang Yong did not dare to be too sure. However, no matter what, Zhuang Yong did not dare to neglect this cold-looking young man who Lin Tianbiao had taken the initiative to take care of. He was dressed in blood-red clothes and was suspected to have committed a major crime.
"Hello, little brother." When Lu Ping arrived in front of him, he greeted him politely. As for his perception, he had already secretly probed Lu Ping's body. In the end … there was no soul power!
This was too terrifying!
Zhuang Yong's cultivation level was low, so it was normal for him to not be able to determine the cultivation level of an expert. But now, he couldn't even sense the other party's Soul Force. Just how big of a gap was that?
Zhuang Yong cautiously waited for Lu Ping's reply.
"Hello." Lu Ping said to Zhuang Yong. Then, he squatted down and looked at the goods on Zhuang Yong's stall. Very quickly, he raised one of them and waved it at Zhuang Yong. "What is this?"
"This is …" Zhuang Yong was slightly stunned. His face revealed a confused expression, but he still answered Lu Ping. "This is a sucking stone."
"Sucking stone? What is it used for? "Lu Ping asked excitedly.
"Sucking stone … Sucking stone is a sucking stone. It is used to suck things." Zhuang Yong felt anxious for his poor eloquence. However, he had never thought of explaining "what is a sucking stone". This thing was really too common. Not to mention cultivators, even ordinary people might be able to use it. Previously, Zhuang Yong told Lin Tianbiao that the cross-shaped dart was heavy. But in reality, this sucking stone was. It stuck to the ground through the cloth and had a fixed effect. In the end, Lu Ping did not look at any of the goods. He picked up the sucking stone and even asked Zhuang Yong what it was and what it was used for …
"Oh, no wonder." Lu Ping suddenly understood. When he picked up the sucking stone earlier, he felt some effort. Now that he put it back, he felt a suction force pulling the stone towards the ground.
"Interesting." Lu Ping nodded, giving his evaluation of Zhuang Yong's goods.
Zhuang Yong's expression was complicated. He couldn't help but raise his head to look at Lin Tianbiao and the other Big Dipper newcomers behind him. In the end, all of them looked as if they had seen a ghost. Lin Tianbiao and Lu Ping could be considered close, but not to the extent of Zi Mu. Thus, he had not experienced Lu Ping's lack of common sense.
You don't even know what a sucking stone is?
The newcomers whispered amongst themselves. They all asked the Black Army Empire's students about how backward the Canyon Peak Mountain Range was. They didn't even have a sucking stone. As a result, the Black Army Empire's students explained: Although the Canyon Peak Mountain Range is a bit remote, it definitely has sucking stones.
At this time, Lu Ping had already picked up a gray bead from Zhuang Yong's stall.
"This is an Illuminating Pearl. After injecting a bit of soul into it, it will emit light. It can be used to illuminate the night." This time, Zhuang Yong took the initiative and introduced the item before Lu Ping could ask. This Illuminating Pearl wasn't anything new. In fact, it wasn't even one of his goods. However, if the stall was open late at night, when the sky was dark, it would be best to place an Illuminating Pearl to illuminate the stall. If Lu Ping didn't even recognize a sucking stone, then Zhuang Yong would probably be a fool to use this Illuminating Pearl. This item was at least slightly rarer than a sucking stone. At the very least, ordinary people without soul power wouldn't be able to use it.
"Oh oh oh. Zhao Mingzhu, I've heard of it. " This time, Lu Ping suddenly understood. He put down the bead, but didn't pick anything else. He clapped his hands, stood up, and nodded repeatedly. "My eyes have been opened."
Eyes have been opened?
Zhuang Yong felt that he was the one who had been opened.
He didn't recognize a sucking stone, and had never seen an Illuminating Pearl before. Was this person really the person who had committed the biggest crime of the year in the Xuan Army Empire? Looking at Lu Ping's satisfied face, Zhuang Yong felt a little disappointed. The sucking stones and Illuminating Pearls in his stall were a hundred times rarer. They were the real tools and medicines that were beneficial to a cultivator. Wasn't this person going to take a look?
Lu Ping really disappointed him. After seeing the sucking stones and Illuminating Pearls, he had a satisfied expression on his face. He nodded at Lin Tianbiao and said that it wasn't bad.
"Aren't you going to pick anything?" Lin Tianbiao was also surprised at Lu Ping's lack of knowledge. However, he asked as if he was used to it.
"No need, I don't have money." Lu Ping patted his body. No matter how little knowledge he had, he wasn't unfamiliar with the principle of spending money when buying things.
"It won't cost much. See what you need. I'll buy it for you first." Lin Tianbiao smiled.
It seemed like he was looking down on Zhuang Yong's goods. However, since the second young master of the Lin Family said this, Zhuang Yong could only accept it. Not to mention this stall, even if he took out the most precious things he could get his hands on, he wouldn't be able to attract the attention of the Lin Family.
"If that's the case … then I'll take this." Lu Ping didn't stand on ceremony. He bent down and picked up the Illuminating Pearl under everyone's gaze.
"This?" Lin Tianbiao was slightly stunned. He smiled and didn't say anything. He didn't ask for the price either. He took out some silver and handed it to Zhuang Yong. Most people knew how much the Illuminating Pearl that was often seen was worth.
Zhuang Yong wanted to cry. It wasn't for sale at all. He was going to use it to light up his stall later. He only brought this one when he came out. He didn't expect that this thing would be bought by someone else!
However, Lin Tianbiao had already handed him the money. Zhuang Yong couldn't say that he wouldn't sell it. He could only accept it with a smile and thank him. At the same time, he cursed in his heart: Who exactly is this young man in blood?
