"Alright, let's go," Hong Yun said to Jiang Fei.
"Alright!" Jiang Fei nodded. He knew that Hong Yun did not want the old shopkeeper to know that she wanted the Fantasy Stone for him. After all, he had given it to her for free. It would make him feel uncomfortable to say it out loud.
So, Hong Yun and Jiang Fei walked out of the slave shop. The little boy that Nie Zheng had given to Jiang Fei followed behind them.
"Wait!" At that moment, the old shopkeeper called out to Jiang Fei and the others.
"Uncle, what's the matter?" Hong Yun turned around and asked.
"Did you buy this child?" The old shopkeeper did not answer Hong Yun. Instead, he stared at Jiang Fei and asked.
"You can say that …" Jiang Fei said. He had planned to buy it at first, but Nie Zheng did not ask for money.
"Father, I made the decision to give it to him. It's just a low-grade product," Nie Zheng said as he walked over.
Slap! The old shopkeeper slapped Nie Zheng's face. Then, he scolded, "I'm not dead yet. This shop is not for a little bastard like you to make decisions!"
"Father?" Nie Zheng had a blank look on his face. His father wasn't like this in the past. How could a mere inferior product make his father completely change into a different person?
"Uncle, what's going on?" Hong Yun hurriedly ran over and pulled the old shopkeeper back. Otherwise, judging from the way things were going, he would definitely beat up Nie Zheng.
"Sir, we are not selling this child. Although you did not pay for it, we will compensate you for your loss. However, you have to leave this child for us," the old shopkeeper said to Jiang Fei.
"Huh?!" Jiang Fei frowned.
"Uncle, what's so special about this child? Why are you not selling it just like that? "Hong Yun seemed to be trying to smooth things over.
"This child was left in the care of a customer. He does not belong to us, so we have no right to sell him," the old shopkeeper said.
"But father … didn't that person take the money and sell him to us?" Nie Zheng interrupted.
Slap! The old shopkeeper slapped Nie Zheng's face, causing Nie Zheng to spin on the spot.
"Bastard, no one will think you are mute if you don't speak!" The old shopkeeper said angrily.
"Oh!" Nie Zheng cautiously stood to the side, no longer daring to interrupt.
"Hehe, Old Shopkeeper, you and I both know who this child is. There's no need to play this riddle, right?" Jiang Fei said with a smile.
"Since that's the case, I'll make it clear. We're not selling this child!" The old shopkeeper said.
"Besides, Gongzi has already given him to me. He's mine now. There's no point in you talking about selling him anymore," Jiang Fei said with a smile.
"Hmph, I'm not dead yet. That bastard can't make the decision. If I say I won't sell this child, then I won't sell it!" The old shopkeeper said in a domineering manner.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you? Why did he insist on not selling this child? Why don't you sell him for my sake? We can talk about the price. I'll pay for it for you, alright? "Hong Yun wanted to mediate in the middle.
"Little girl, there are some things you don't understand. Don't get involved in this mess!" The old shopkeeper said to Hong Yun.
"This …" Hong Yun was a little embarrassed by the old shopkeeper's words. Before this, the old shopkeeper had always treated her like his own daughter. He had never rejected her. She did not expect that he would not only beat up Nie Zheng for this child, but also reject her.
"Old shopkeeper, I'll make it clear. Since this child is in my hands, I will never let him go!" Jiang Fei said with a smile.
"You! Are you going to use force? This is the Wanshou Gathering! This is not a place where you can behave atrociously! "The old shopkeeper was also angry. He picked up a drumstick and hit the gong under the eaves.
Clang clang clang … As the gong sounded, not only were the surrounding shops alarmed, but the Naga guarding the Wanshou Gathering in the distance was also alerted.
Unlike the other four major planets, the Wanshou Gathering in Zhenxing was personally guarded by the Naga. So, as the gong sounded, a silver light flashed, and the Naga stood on the spot.
"Who is sounding the gong?" The Naga asked.
"My lord, it's this old man sounding the gong!" The old shopkeeper replied.
"Why did you sound the gong?" The Naga asked.
"Because this person is forcing people to buy and sell things in my shop. He is breaking the rules of the Wanshou Gathering!" The old shopkeeper said.
"Oh?!" The Naga turned to look at Jiang Fei.
At this time, Jiang Fei was also looking at the Naga. The Naga in front of him had the appearance of a middle-aged man. His strength was about the beginner level of a Heavenly Duke. Among the Naga guarding the Wanshou Gathering, he was probably the strongest.
"How dare you! How dare you … "After listening to the old shopkeeper's story, the Naga wanted to scold Jiang Fei. However, halfway through his sentence, he felt a pure Dragon's Might from Jiang Fei's body.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" The Naga immediately changed his tone. Although he still did not know Jiang Fei's identity, he could confirm that the person in front of him was of the same clan.
The Naga had always been on the side of their kin. In other words, they were completely unreasonable. Now that one side was an old man who set up a stall, and the other side was a brother of the same clan, the Naga guarding the Wanshou Gathering would naturally side with Jiang Fei.
"This child was given to me by his young shopkeeper. Now that the old shopkeeper has returned, he wants to take him back," Jiang Fei said honestly.
In fact, this matter was reasonable no matter how one looked at it. The old man's reason was that this child was given to Jiang Fei. Now that he had gone back on his word, Jiang Fei had to return him to him. On the other hand, Jiang Fei's reason was that this child had already been given to him by Jiang Fei. His ownership was already in Jiang Fei's hands. It was only natural that Jiang Fei would not return him.
Even according to the laws of Jiang Fei's era, the old man's request was reasonable, and Jiang Fei's request was legal.
However, when it came to the Naga, who were on the side of their kin, there was nothing to worry about.
"Old man, you have already given this child away, and you still want him back? Do you even have any integrity? If you don't even have this bit of integrity, how can you still do business? I can't tolerate anyone tarnishing the reputation of the Wanshou Gathering! " The Naga said as soon as he spoke. In the end, he even threatened the old man that if they still wanted the child back, they would close down their slave shop!
"Sir, you can't do this …" The old man was a little dumbfounded. There were no laws in this era, so it was normal for people to take back things that they had given away. However, the Naga had suddenly changed his tone, which caught him off guard.
"Cut the crap! Do you still want this child? "The Naga asked.
"This …" The old man hesitated. This child's identity was not ordinary, and he indeed had to take him back. However, the problem was that this little shop was the business that he and his son relied on to survive. If the shop closed, they would not have the support of their clan, and they could only become Rogue Cultivators. When that happened, their survival would become very difficult.
