Chapter 171: Ignorance and Fearlessness (2nd Update)
That commanding attitude, Xia Qingchen is hard to like.
He still stood in place with his arms crossed, his expression indifferent: "Doubt me?"
"Among the people on the scene, only you are the most idle, and you are most likely to steal while we are busy, and you don't suspect you, so should you suspect me?" Elder Starfall scolded: "Come here, the old man is going to search you!"
Frisk?
Xia Qingchen said calmly: "I've been standing here, how can I have a chance to steal something under your nose." ”
In order to avoid suspicion, he always stood at a distance.
"Isn't it you, wouldn't you know by searching your body?" Elder Starfall had the intention to find fault, so naturally he wouldn't listen to any explanation.
Shopkeeper Yang walked over with a hint of anger: "Elder Starfall, let's investigate clearly, it's an insult to search your body." ”
He believed that Xia Qingchen did not steal.
It's just that maybe Xia Qingchen shouldn't have been invited to come at this moment, because he happened to meet the meanest Starfall Elder, and he happened to encounter the loss of goods.
"Shopkeeper Yang, I remember you just said that you are responsible for the loss of the goods, right?" Elder Starfall's chopstick-like fingers rubbed slightly.
In the deep-set eye sockets, a pair of eyes slowly narrowed.
Shopkeeper Yang was sluggish.
For the first time, there had never been a missing cargo.
"Unless you really want to be responsible, just flash me aside and watch obediently. Elder Starfall snorted coldly.
Shopkeeper Yang's lips moved, and he hesitated in his heart.
He didn't want Xia Qingchen to suffer a vain wish, after all, he invited Xia Qingchen to come.
But, that butterfly essence, one is a hundred stars!
How can he afford it?
While he was hesitating, Xia Qingchen sighed softly behind him: "Elder Starfall, you are on the top of the butterfly spirit's head, gently press it three times. ”
Elder Starfall frowned, "What are you doing?" Butterfly Essence is an extremely delicate thing, how can you touch it at will?"
Shopkeeper Yang also cast a puzzled gaze.
What is this for?
"Then you'll be missing a butterfly forever. Xia Qingchen said indifferently.
With some doubts, Elder Starfall opened the jade box and tapped the butterfly spirit's forehead three times with his index finger.
But the butterfly spirit did not appear to be unusual.
"And then?" Elder Starfall asked, "so you can avoid the search?"
He was about to come over and forcibly search his body.
Suddenly, a slight popping sound came into my ears.
When I looked down, it was the butterfly spirit, and a multicolored droplet flowed from its mouth.
The droplets re-coalesced into a smaller butterfly essence.
The size, shape, and appearance are the missing butterfly essence.
Elder Starfall froze in place, unable to comprehend the scene in front of him.
Shopkeeper Yang was also surprised, he had been in contact with butterfly essence many times, but he had never seen such a strange scene.
Subconsciously, he set his eyes on Xia Qingchen: "Young Master Xia, this is ......"
"Butterfly spirits devour each other. Xia Qingchen said briefly.
Engulf?
Shopkeeper Yang was dazed, saying that he had never heard of it: "The butterfly spirit is not a living thing, it just looks like a butterfly liquid, how can it be devoured?"
Butterfly essence is a mysterious liquid born from a strange butterfly, not a real butterfly.
Between liquids and liquids, how can we talk about devouring each other?
Xia Qingchen explained expressionlessly: "Butterfly essence is also divided into male and female, and at the right temperature, the male butterfly essence will devour the female butterfly essence, which is not surprising." ”
Previously, Elder Starfall had touched two butterfly essences with his palm, and the temperature of his palms caused the male butterfly essence to begin to devour the female butterfly essence.
How is it not strange?
None of the people present had heard of such a statement, but Xia Qingchen said it with a calm face.
However, the big butterfly essence just now did spit out the small butterfly essence.
It is enough to show that Xia Qingchen's statement is correct.
Shopkeeper Yang was surprised, and couldn't help but look at Elder Starfall and sneered: "Is this body still searchable?"
It took a long time, and it was an oolong.
Thanks to Elder Starfall, it turned out that he had no experience at home, and he didn't know that the butterfly spirit had this hidden characteristic.
Elder Starfall was expressionless, and said lightly: "If there is one, if there is one, it will be encouraged." ”
The meaning of this sentence is to correct the mistakes that others have pointed out to you, and if not, use them to encourage yourself.
Used on Xia Qingchen's body, the meaning is that he stole something, corrected it if he stole it, and admonished himself if he didn't steal.
He wronged people at will, without the slightest apology, but with a look of "I am for you" attitude!
"Alright, that's the end of today's sorting. Elder Starfall put away the register and glanced at the few remaining valuable materials with a little meaning.
But, he wanted to go.
Xia Qingchen may not be willing.
"Wait!" Xia Qingchen said lightly.
Elder Starfall stared at him, "What's the matter?"
That attitude, that tone, wanting him to apologize, is absolutely impossible.
"It doesn't matter if I don't apologize, I don't care anyway. "Will Xia Qingchen care about his apology?
"Hmph!" Elder Starfall snorted and walked away, ignoring him.
Xia Qingchen calmly continued, "I want to correct a few materials that Elder Starfall has identified incorrectly. ”
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Yang, Shopkeeper Zhou and others tightened their hearts.
Material identification errors are no small few.
If the precious materials are sold as inferior materials, once they are found out, the relevant people of the Heavenly Star Hall will be punished by the sect.
The degree of punishment is determined according to the circumstances of the loss.
It's just that they feel relieved.
Those precious materials were all personally identified by Elder Starfall, what could be wrong?
However, they didn't notice a trace of panic in Elder Starfall's eyes.
He turned around and scolded sharply: "Ignorant child, dare to question the old man's identification? Get out of here immediately!"
As an elder of the Star Lord Peak, it was not a big deal to scold a low-level disciple.
But Shopkeeper Yang and others tasted a little unusual.
Isn't Elder Starfall too excited?
"Young Master Xia, have you found anything?" asked Shopkeeper Yang.
Xia Qingchen stood in place and said lightly: "In the ninth jade box, it is not the white head ginseng, but the snow beard imperial ginseng. ”
Whitehead ginseng is worth 10 stars.
Snow beard imperial ginseng is worth 80 stars!
Shopkeeper Yang was taken aback, and was about to ask, Xia Qingchen continued: "In the tenth jade box, it is not the Tear Rain Bluestone, but the Xuanyu Flower Stone. ”
The former is inferior material and is only worth twenty stars.
The latter is a legendary divine stone that only exists in books, and it is worth 100 stars!
"The Twelfth Jade Box ......"
Xia Qingchen pointed out five problematic jade boxes in a row.
It's full of the most expensive material in the batch.
Elder Starfall's pupils shrank, and there was a hint of shock and resentment in his eyes.
Obviously, the identification of all five jade boxes was wrong, and it wasn't that Elder Starfall really made a mistake.
It's intentional.
Deliberately identify valuable and precious things as inferior.
Then, he would send people to buy all these things at a low price, and make amazing profits from them.
It's just that he never thought that he had hidden many shopkeepers, but he had not hidden a little boy!
"You are so ignorant and fearless, you even questioned the old man's appraisal results, and I appreciate your courage. Of course, Elder Starfall naturally wouldn't admit it, with a condescending attitude.
