Ling Ping'an stood aside with great interest, looking at the rebellious girl from the old imperial family in front of him.

Look at her look that seems to be excited.

Ling Ping'an knew that today's deal was probably done.

However, he was not in a hurry and waited patiently.

He knew that it took great courage and determination for the children who came out of the old empire family to make up their minds, resist the authority of their parents, and express themselves bravely.

The power of tradition is beyond imagination!

But Ling Ping firmly believes that awakened young people will inevitably be unwilling to be controlled, prescribed and manipulated in life.

The desire for freedom and the need to choose their own life will allow them to overcome all obstacles.

It's like the women's liberation movement two hundred years ago.

Awakened women, bravely stood up and said no to old traditions.

Thus, the vigorous women's liberation movement began.

After decades of struggle and accusations, the Emperor of the Federal Empire finally issued an edict ordering the Federal Imperial Center to enact the "Protection of the Rights and Interests of Women and Children".

Since then, women have been legally guaranteed freedom of marriage and independence of personality.

Today, it is the era of mobile Internet.

How long can the conservative old empires be stubborn?

Sure enough, after a series of struggles and hesitations, Ling Ping'an saw the customer in front of him and finally made up his mind.

She raised her head bravely, looked at Ling Ping'an very seriously, and asked, "This book ...... I loved ......"

"Just ......"

She lowered her head, took out two boxes wrapped in a certain material from herself, and handed them to Ling Ping'an: "I'm sorry! ”

"I really don't have the money you want......"

"I had to use these two things to compensate for ......"

"I don't know if you would like to ......"

After saying that, she seemed embarrassed and ashamed to bury her head in her towering chest.

Ling Ping'an looked at it and couldn't help but sigh again in his heart.

"Sure enough, has it developed to the legendary economic supply cut-off?" He thought about the episodes he saw on TV.

Therefore, Ling Ping'an didn't hesitate much, and took the two packages handed by the other party.

It's not that he's greedy.

Rather, Ling Ping knows the importance of self-esteem and personality to such a young girl.

So, out of the need to take care of the other side and protection, he took it.

But out of concern, he asked, "What's in here?" ”

If it's too precious, he won't ask for it.

After all, it is gentlemanly manners to take care of and respect a woman's personality.

But by taking advantage of their own advantageous position or taking advantage of the embarrassment of others, they seize the wealth of the other party by low price or even despicable means.

That's just a villain's act, and it's even more legally risky.

……………………………………

"What's in there?" The strange man's voice is still soft.

It's just that Han Li listened, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

She had no choice but to reply tremblingly: "The peaches grown at home and a few bags of tea leaves at home......"

After saying that, she became nervous.

I was afraid of this terrifying and powerful weirdo, and felt that what she brought was too shoddy.

As a result, he was no longer willing to sell the book to her.

After all, Han Li really didn't know the bottom in his heart.

The peach at the top of Mount Tai may be precious on the earth.

But in the eyes of this terrifying bookstore owner, I am afraid it is not as good as a speck of dust in his store.

Not to mention the Azure Spirit Tea, which can be self-produced even in Donglin City.

……………………………………

"Home-grown peaches and tea?" Ling Ping'an listened to the other party's answer, and a big stone fell in his heart.

Since it is a home-grown souvenir.

So......

In other words, it is not a big problem for him to take the tea that the customer mortgaged without authorization.

Therefore, he accepted the other party's box with peace of mind.

"Then that's it......" Ling Ping'an thought for a while, and said, "You can take this book!" ”

As for the price, he simply didn't mention it.

"That's right!" He walked back to the counter and took out the knife from the drawer that the little girl had mortgaged here last time.

"This thing must be your beloved......"

"It's useless for me to hold it...... Let's return it to its rightful owner! ”

As he spoke, he handed the knife to the other party.

Truly!

This knife, judging from the process alone, knows that it must have been customized at a great price.

Last time, the other party just mortgaged here.

Now, although she did not bring any money to ransom her.

However, the tea she sent was really delicious.

Especially in terms of refreshing the mind, it is almost completely the drink that all the spirits have drunk peacefully.

In addition, Ling Ping felt that it was useless to keep it.

Even as an ornament, there is no place to put it.

Therefore, returning things to their original owners is the most reasonable choice.

…………………………

Han Li looked at the spirit blade that was handed to him.

She took a deep breath.

Because, a few days ago, this sword was mortgaged to the mysterious bookstore owner.

Now, it's a different look.

The spirit blade was originally forged by various strange metals found by humans from the eleventual lair of demons after the cataclysm.

It is a combat weapon for witchers, and it is also the most suitable conductor to carry bursts of spiritual power.

But, at their core, they are still metals.

It wears out, it rusts, it breaks.

The United National Security Organization stipulates that each demon hunter can apply for a replacement of a spirit blade every year.

Before the mortgage, Han Li's spirit blade had been with her for more than half a year and had experienced more than a dozen fierce demon hunting battles.

There has been wear and tear on its own.

But now, the blade has a new look.

Even, Han Li could feel that it had become stronger and sharper.

It is very possible that just by holding it, you can cut through the hard shell and skin of the ghost without using any spiritual power.

"This ......" Han Li breathed heavily, looking up at the strange man in front of him with gratitude, the fire in his eyes was gradually dimming.

So, Han Li's original words of resignation were swallowed raw when they reached his mouth.

She knew that if she dared to refuse the other party's 'kindness'.

Fear......

In the next second, what was waiting for her was no longer the 'gentle' and 'friendly' bookstore owner.

Most likely ......

A tyrannical and ruthless terrible evil god!

So, she bowed deeply: "Thank you so much!" ”

"I don't know how to report your kindness!"

"I don't need your thanks!" But the strange man said: "If you become strong as soon as possible, it will be the greatest reward for me!" ”

Han Li suddenly understood in seconds.

She understands that this terrifying and strange bookstore owner has a vision for her future, not the present.

Perhaps, one day, He will make demands on her to repay the kindness she has received from the beginning to the future.

"I see!" Han Li bowed again: "I will become strong as soon as possible!" ”

She speculated that the bookstore owner might have a grudge against the terrible world called the Abyss.

He was taking revenge by His own hand.

And for Han Li.

She would be happy to be such a pawn.

Because, at least, the chess pieces still have the value of existence.

The most terrible thing is the miserable world where you can't even be a pawn.

That kind of world is destined for sad destruction!
