The caravan traveled for a day, and in the evening, they chose to stop near a mountain valley.
This guy's luck was pretty good, he only encountered three small beast groups.
After killing two of them and expelling one, Lin Fan's eyes lit up. Other than some losses, the gains from slaughtering the beast groups were actually quite profitable.
The evening sky was filled with the afterglow of sunset.
Red, orange, grape grey, eggplant purple … the sunset clouds were dazzling, the colors were mixed and constantly changing. Sometimes it was like a roaring lion, sometimes it was like a galloping horse, and sometimes it was like a blooming sea of flowers.
The sunset light shone on the emerald green mountain valley. In the mountain valley, the caravan had arranged a small area in a certain corner, and it was noisy.
"Come, come, take a look, the fresh beast meat we just slaughtered today!"
"Buttermilk, fragrant and sweet buttermilk …"
"There are only ten pieces of clothing left, clearance sale."
Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing were also in the crowd.
They dragged their handcart and occupied an area. On the left was a stall selling wild vegetables, and on the right was a stall selling milk.
Bai Ning Bing looked around with interest: "To think there would be such a small market in the caravan."
"There will be transactions when there is consumption, and consumption will stimulate the market." Fang Yuan replied.
Bai Ning Bing's gaze flickered, these words were really incisive.
She looked at Fang Yuan: "These purple maple leaves, are you going to sell them all?"
Fang Yuan nodded slightly: "I have already joined the caravan, I can casually sell these purple maple leaves. Keeping them in my hands will instead attract the greed of some scoundrels. "
Moreover, purple maple leaves were not easy to preserve.
Only a day had passed, but the purple maple leaves on Fang Yuan's cart were already showing signs of withering. As time passed, their value would become lower and lower.
Of course, it was just two Yuan stone, Fang Yuan naturally did not care.
But throwing them away casually did not suit their current status, and would arouse suspicion.
"There are two types of small markets in the caravan. The one we are participating in is only the transactions between mortals, it happens every day. The other type is the transactions between Gu Masters, once every seven days. "Fang Yuan said.
Bai Ning Bing's blue eyes shone under the shadow of the straw hat, "If we can participate in the Gu Master's small market, it will be helpful to us. There is still a long way to go before we reach Shang clan city, to prevent any sudden incidents, we need at least one investigative Gu. "
"I already have a plan for that, but it's still too early." Fang Yuan smiled confidently as he thought of something in the Tusita Flower.
The two of them were talking in low voices.
A male servant hobbled over.
His clothes were ragged and his face was covered in blood. He looked like a beggar. Walking to the stall next to Fang Yuan's, he looked at the clay pot filled with milk and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "Brother, can I have a sip of milk?"
"Go, go, go. Don't get in the way of my business! "The milkman waved his hand impatiently.
The servant had no choice but to move to the front of Fang and Bai's handcart, "Two brothers …"
Before he could finish, Fang Yuan stepped forward, lifted his leg, and kicked him over. He shouted fiercely, "Scram!"
The servant was kicked to the ground, his tattered clothes covered in black mud. His wounds were also affected, causing him to grimace in pain.
He climbed up with difficulty, and stared at Fang Yuan with a hateful gaze, "Alright, I'll remember this. We are all mortals, who hasn't met with misfortune one day? Hmph … "
Fang Yuan's expression turned cold, and he kicked again.
Slap.
The servant fell to the ground again.
"Try saying another word?" Fang Yuan looked down from above.
The servant stared at Fang Yuan fiercely, and climbed up, not daring to be long-winded.
But immediately after, he was kicked down by Fang Yuan again.
"I don't like the look in your eyes." Fang Yuan crossed his arms, his voice cold.
The servant lowered his head, not daring to look at Fang Yuan again. He quietly climbed up, not daring to continue begging, and walked away.
Looking at his departing figure, Bai Ning Bing asked in confusion, "Strange, why is there a beggar in the caravan?"
"This is normal. This servant must have made a mistake, or his master is in a bad mood today. In any case, he was beaten up by a Gu Master, and his meals were cancelled. "Fang Yuan shrugged his shoulders, but his gaze coldly glanced at a corner not far away.
In the corner, three to four strong servants were capturing new faces, planning how to bully them.
After seeing the situation at Fang Yuan's side, their gazes swept towards other targets.
Mortals had cheap lives, and their status was extremely low. Survival was difficult, like walking on a tightrope. In the caravan, Gu Masters were easily killed, and their lives were as cheap as grass. Along the way, they could be replenished from the villages.
Every time the caravan met with danger, large numbers of mortals would lose their lives.
Other than that, there was also an intense dark competition between the mortals. Fang Yuan had just arrived here, and there were already two groups of people who wanted to find trouble with him.
He was naturally not afraid of these troubles, but if he could resolve them easily, he would try to resolve them in advance.
Of course, there were also some mortals who lived beautifully.
Most of these people had backgrounds, and were related to some Gu Masters, thus they used their connections to intimidate others.
After that begging servant left, two groups of people came.
The leader of one group was an old man with astute eyes. After asking Fang Yuan the price, he immediately lowered the price to one-fourth. Fang Yuan guessed this old man's identity, he should be a steward, in charge of dispatching servants.
The leader of the other group was a woman. Her eyes were coquettish, and she was actually wearing silk clothes. Fang Yuan immediately understood, this was definitely a tool of a certain male Gu Master.
The two were escorted, and although they were all mortals, their social status was extremely clear.
They lowered the price very low, with the intention of buying low and selling high. These people all had some extra money, unlike most servants who were in a precarious situation, living so miserably that they did not even have food to eat.
Although Fang Yuan looked down on this carriage of purple maple leaves, to put on a good act and not expose himself, he still rejected the two who were trying to lower the price.
The old man had a pleasant expression, but there was a hidden threat. The woman cursed and walked away.
"As long as a third person asks for the price, I will sell this carriage of rotten leaves." Just as Fang Yuan was calculating, the small market suddenly went into an uproar.
Some people were excitedly cheering and shouting.
"That kind-hearted Miss Zhang is here again!"
"Miss Zhang is kind and benevolent, she is like a fairy that descended to the mortal world!"
"Such a good person, I won't go hungry tonight …"
"What's going on?" Bai Ning Bing gazed into the distance, only to see a green figure appear at the entrance of the market.
Fang Yuan was also puzzled, what situation was this?
"Miss Zhang!" "Fairy Zhang!!" A group of servants rushed over, and at once, the entrance of the market was filled with people.
Most of these people were punished by Gu Masters and had no food to eat. The man that Fang Yuan kicked earlier was also among them, stretching his neck and arms.
"Don't be anxious everyone, there will be food, there will be food, take it slowly." The green clothed girl said.
Her voice was gentle and soft, and the moment she spoke, it was drowned out by the shouts of the crowd.
"All of you shut up! Line up and come one by one. Whoever dares to snatch or shout, I will kill him immediately! "Suddenly, a thunderous voice resounded in the small market.
An old but tall and sturdy Gu Master stood up with his head held high. His fierce gaze swept around, and the bustling small market immediately quietened down.
This was the might of a Gu Master!
No one did not believe his words. With a Gu Master's identity, as long as he was in a bad mood, so what if he killed two or three mortals?
Everyone pushed and shoved, and quickly lined up obediently.
At the front of the line, the green clothed girl carried a basket, distributing steamed biscuits one by one.
The whole small market was silent.
Countless gazes looked at the green clothed girl, containing respect, worship and love.
Bai Ning Bing was curious, asking the stall owner beside him: "Who is this girl?"
"You don't even know Miss Zhang Xin Ci? You two are new here right? "
"Zhang Xin Ci?" Fang Yuan turned around, frowning, "Tell us everything you know!"
The stall owner thought of how ruthless Fang Yuan was when he beat up the family servant, and did not dare to hide anything: "This Miss Zhang is also a vice leader in our caravan. She has no cultivation talent, and is a mortal like us. But she has a strong background in the clan, and the Gu Masters beside her are her guards. I have lived for so many years, but to speak the truth, I have never seen such a kind-hearted person. Miss Zhang is too kind, almost every night she would bring some food to the starving family servant. Even if it is raining or windy, she is still like this … sigh, the heavens are so unfair, such a good person cannot be allowed to cultivate. "
Bai Ning Bing nodded and smiled, saying to Fang Yuan: "As expected, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds."
Fang Yuan, however, did not reply.
Bai Ning Bing glanced at Fang Yuan strangely, but saw that Fang Yuan's expression was not right.
The latter stared at the green-clothed girl with a burning gaze, his brows almost knitted into a knot.
This green-clothed girl had a head of black hair that draped over her shoulders, delicate and black, giving off a gentle beauty. Her eyebrows were like faint willow smoke, and her eyes were like the clear waves of the moon. Her skin was snow white, and her lips were pink and tender.
Her face did not have any makeup, and her contours were extremely soft. While distributing the steamed biscuits, she smiled faintly, pure and flawless.
She wore a green dress, giving off a fresh and elegant aura. She was elegant like an orchid, beautiful like a lotus, gentle like water. In terms of appearance, she was on par with Bai Ning Bing, but had a unique beauty.
The girl's appearance was exquisite, and could only be considered good looking, like an ordinary beverage. Only with a temperament could one be called a beauty, like aged wine.
No doubt, this green-clothed girl was an absolute beauty.
But no matter how beautiful she was, or how moving her temperament was, in Fang Yuan's heart, it was all fart!
Fang Yuan did not look at her appearance. No matter how beautiful her face and temperament were, if one peeled off her skin, it was all bones.
He was curious, and thought of a certain person: "Isn't this girl Shang Xin Ci?"
Shang Xin Ci was one of the young masters of Shang clan.
In the clan, the children of the clan leader were all called "young master". Only the successor that obtained the approval of the clan elders could be called "young clan leader".
Just with her identity as the young master of Shang clan, Shang Xin Ci was the pride of the heavens.
Everyone said that Shang clan was greedy and black-hearted, but this Shang Xin Ci was an exception. She had a weak nature, and was not good at fighting. She was soft-hearted, and was the worst at doing business in Shang clan.
When she did business, not only did she often suffer losses, she was also often cheated by others. She easily trusted others, and most importantly, she would not learn from being cheated once, and would be cheated again and again.
As the young master of Shang clan, she was once the shame of the entire Shang clan, and was looked down upon the most. But on account that she was the bloodline of the Shang clan leader, they showed mercy and did not expel her from the clan.
She treated mortals equally, and had a strong sense of compassion, and often helped and saved people. There were even a few times when she bought all the slaves in auctions, and was scolded by the Shang clan leader.
But fate was truly wonderful, in the end, she became the leader of Shang clan!
