Just as Lil 'Thing lowered its head and tiptoed towards the entrance of the medicinal herb clubhouse, there was a sudden shout. "There's a rat! There's a rat! "
Fortunately, Lil 'Thing couldn't understand human language. Otherwise, it would have continued to crawl forward silently. The rat was clearly not referring to it.
Hearing the shout, Lil 'Thing immediately raised its head and saw a burly man taking off his shoes and swatting at it!
Lil 'Thing immediately dodged nimbly. At this time, the burly man saw clearly. "It's not a rat, it's a squirrel!"
The person behind him was taking off his shoes as he responded, "Whether it's a squirrel or a rat, no rats are allowed to enter!"
Whether it was a high-class medicinal herb clubhouse or a small medicinal herb market that sold cheap goods, the two most taboo things were insects and rats.
These two things were the most destructive to medicinal herbs. If they were used, it wouldn't be a big deal if some of them were eaten, but if they were sold, the price would drop and the worst would be that they couldn't be sold.
Therefore, places where medicinal herbs were sold would be protected against rats and insects.
No matter how the person behind him shouted, the burly man didn't make a move. Instead, he stared at Lil 'Thing. Lil' Thing anxiously hid at the foot of the wall and was blocked by the burly man. It was also staring at the burly man.
"This squirrel is white and so small. It doesn't look like a cub!" The burly man pointed out the difference between Lil 'Thing and other squirrels in one sentence.
"Did you see wrongly? How can a squirrel be white?"
The young man behind him caught up. When he saw Lil 'Thing, he immediately changed what he said a second ago. "It really is a squirrel."
"Let's catch it first." The burly man signaled the young man to surround it.
Thus, the two of them surrounded Lil 'Thing with one hand and a shoe in the other.
Lil 'Thing's black eyes kept rolling. Suddenly, before the two guards besieged it, it directly jumped into the air.
The first reaction of the two guards was to pounce on it. Unfortunately, Lil 'Thing's feet pushed against the wall and it actually bounced out and landed on the threshold, causing the two of them to bump into each other.
"Ouch!"
The two of them bumped into each other painfully! Seeing Lil 'Thing jump so fast, they were both puzzled.
"This little thing is quite interesting!"
"Let's catch it first. It'll be troublesome if it runs in."
The little thing was having so much fun that it forgot that it had been exposed. It squatted down on the threshold and squeaked provocatively.
The burly man and the young man were shocked, but they couldn't care less. They rushed over and shouted, "Someone, there's a rat intruder. Stop it!"
Seeing that they were about to pounce down, the little thing jumped up again, playing with the two guards at the door until they fell into a ball.
"Squeak! Squeak! "
The little thing fell from the sky in a straight line and landed on the big man's head. It then jumped onto the young man's body and amused itself. It was very happy.
It hadn't played like this for a long time. When its old master was still alive, it used to jump around like this every day.
Now that the Poison Sect was destroyed and its old master was gone, it had finally found a new master. It could only obediently hide. It knew that many people in the world wanted it, so it couldn't harm its new master.
Lil 'Thing was a sentimental child. Thinking up to here, it stopped hopping and sat down on the burly man's face. It tilted its head sadly.
But at this time, many people in the medicine hall gathered around. They were all shocked to see Lil 'Thing like this.
"I've never seen a white squirrel before!"
"It's so small, so cute."
"Is this squirrel for sale? You can sell it to me if you catch it! "
… …
Amidst the discussion, Lil 'Thing was still immersed in the past. It didn't know that the burly man was reaching out to grab it, nor did it know that several guards had already surrounded it with rat nets and were waiting for an opportunity.
Soon, the leader made a hand gesture and two large nets came down on Lil 'Thing's head!
"Squeak …"
Lil 'Thing shrieked. It wanted to escape, but it was too late. The guards pulled in the nets and tied Lil' Thing up.
At this moment, everyone gathered around to take a closer look at the little thing. They could see the little thing even more clearly.
"Aiya, it's so cute. Where did it come from?"
"There's no such breed of squirrel, right? Did someone raise one that dyed it? "
"How much do you want to sell it for? Name a price?"
"I'll buy it, I'll buy it. I'll buy it no matter how much it costs!"
… …
Those who could buy medicinal herbs here were all rich people. They wouldn't even blink an eye if they spent a lot of money here.
In their world, they were afraid of not having enough things to buy and not having enough money to buy.
It was rare to see such a special squirrel. Everyone started to talk and soon, they started to argue.
Lil 'Thing wasn't afraid. It was actually very easy for it to escape. It stared at the people around it with wide eyes. It couldn't understand why these people were arguing so fiercely.
When the guards saw this situation, they exchanged glances. One of them said, "Everyone, quiet down. How about this? Let's compete for a price. The highest bidder gets it."
Anyway, everyone worked together to catch it at the entrance. It wasn't considered something from the medicine hall. Before the warden was alerted, they should quickly scam these rich people!
Lil 'Thing saw that everyone suddenly quieted down. Its sneaky black eyes looked around and it was puzzled. What was going on?
"I'll pay a thousand taels!" Someone couldn't wait to bid.
"Double!"
"Three thousand!"
"Hehe, ten thousand!"
In just a short while, the price had reached ten thousand taels. Ten thousand taels was enough to buy a very high grade medicinal herb in the medicine hall.
The crowd paused for a moment. Many of them hesitated. A few of the guards exchanged glances. Each of them was overjoyed in their hearts!
Ten thousand taels was something they couldn't earn in their lifetime. Even if they divided it among a few people, they would still get a lot.
Not to mention buying wine, they would even have enough money to support their families.
The leader couldn't wait to shout, "Ten thousand taels. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"
Who knew that a woman would suddenly shout, "Twenty thousand taels!"
Twenty thousand taels?
For a moment, the whole place quieted down. Many people were shocked. Most of the guards were dumbfounded.
Twenty thousand taels!
Not to mention this life, they wouldn't even have to worry about it in their next life!
Looking towards the source of the voice, they saw a young woman with a pretty face. She was dressed in white and carried a long thing on her back. It was wrapped in red cloth. It looked like a bow or a sword.
Facing everyone's gaze, the woman in white wasn't nervous. Her face was cold and her eyes were proud. She was simply a cold beauty.
Seeing that everyone was looking at the cold beauty, Lil Thing also looked over. When it saw her, its entire mouse body felt unwell!
It was her. That cold beauty who wanted to shoot arrows at its master in the poisonous herb storage.
It was finished. She had seen it. Would its master be angry?
No, no, she didn't know it. Its master wouldn't know either.
Thinking of this, Lil Thing felt relieved. It silently watched, not knowing what this cold beauty wanted to do.
For a long time, no one bid. Twenty thousand taels was indeed high. Rich people weren't stupid. After all, this was just a plaything.
The woman in white swept her gaze around. Seeing that no one was bidding, the guards were so excited that they couldn't speak.
Since no one is bidding, I'll buy it. "The woman in white took out two banknotes and stretched out her other hand towards the guards.
At this time, Lil Thing who had been silently watching everything suddenly narrowed its eyes and stared at the banknotes.
So it was like this!
This group of people wanted to buy it!
If it couldn't understand the exchange of money with one hand and goods with the other, it would have lived in vain!
Lil Thing was very angry. Was it only worth two banknotes?
Currently, the guard was handing over the rat catching bag to Chu Qingge when the angry Lil Thing jumped up without warning. It was so strong that it knocked aside both the guard and Chu Qingge's hands, leaving two bloody scratches on Chu Qingge's hand.
"Ahhh!" Chu Qingge cried out, caught off guard.
The guard was frightened as well. In a moment of panic, he dropped the banknotes in his hands.
Lil Thing jumped to the ground and tore up the two banknotes before jumping on top of the guard's head. Its chest heaved in anger. These people had gone too far!
Instead of running away, it spat out a gold card from its mouth in front of everyone!
For a moment, everyone was stunned. Even Chu Qingge was so stunned that she forgot about the wound on her hand.
Such a small mouth could spit out such a large gold card. Just what was Lil Thing doing?!
Lil Thing threatened Chu Qingge with the card in its mouth as it waved its paws at her. This bad woman wanted to buy it for a mere 20,000 taels? Why didn't she take a look at the thing in its hands?!
This was the highest level of gold card in Cloud Realm Continent. It had no limit to its limits. Supposedly, the number of people in Cloud Realm Continent with such a card could be counted on one's fingers.
Chu Qingge looked at the torn banknotes on the ground, then at Lil Thing's provocative actions. She couldn't even breathe as her stomach filled with rage.
She was in a bad mood to begin with and had come to the Medical Materials Association to spend money happily. Instead, a little beast looked down on her like this. She'd never be able to quell her anger until she killed it!
"You're seeking death!"
Her eyes flashed as she reached out a poisonous hand towards Lil Thing. But all of the guards surrounded her and blocked her way.
"Miss, calm your anger, calm your anger!"
"Miss, you can't, you can't! Someone left Lil Thing behind!"
… …
No matter how greedy the guards were, they didn't dare to act rashly at the sight of such a gold card.
There were very few people in Cloud Realm Continent with such a card, and only a handful of them had ever spent money at the Medical Materials Association. All of them were important figures they couldn't afford to offend.
No matter what Lil Thing was, it must have run off on its own with its owner. If it died here, even the Medical Materials Association's boss and president would have a hard time explaining themselves!
Naturally, Chu Qingge recognized the gold card as well, but she was too angry to care who it belonged to.
She took out two more banknotes to shake off the guards and said Coldly, "This thing already belongs to this lady. If I want it to die, it has to die!"
But at this moment, a low male voice spoke up from behind her. "Miss Chu, rather than venting your anger on a squirrel, why don't you have its owner come out and apologize to you?"
Chu Qingge looked back and saw a refined, refined man with an elegant bearing. It was none other than the Medical Materials Association's Left Manager and Medicine City's Wang Clan's Third Young Master, Wang Ruochen.
Others might not know who Chu Qingge was, but Wang Yichen did. He'd admired her for a long time, but never had a chance to express his goodwill.
Chu Qingge had no interest in Wang Ruochen at all. Coldly, she said, "How do you know who its owner is?"
Wang Ruochen chuckled. "The owner of the gold card is its owner. Show me the card and I'll know."
The Medical Materials Association was one of the Wang Clan's businesses. As its Left Manager, Wang Ruochen was in charge of its accounts. As long as a gold card had been used here, he could recognize its owner.
