Chapter 55: A Chance Encounter with a Scumbag Ex
After speaking, the old man cautiously observed Sinan's reaction, for fear that the little girl would be frightened and run away.
He coughed lightly twice and said tentatively: "This is how it happened, little girl, you see ......"
Sinan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the old man: "Fifty taels, I want it!" β
"Fifty taels?!" The old man's mouth was so big that he was speechless in surprise for a while.
Not to mention that this Dan furnace was taken out of the illusory realm, even the Dan furnace used by ordinary alchemists costs seventy or eighty taels, and such a high-quality Dan furnace costs at least a hundred taels.
"This ......" The old man rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, and hesitated: "Little girl, can you add more, fifty taels is too little." β
"It's too little, isn't it?" Si Nan smiled, and then put the Dan furnace in the old man's hand, "I won't buy it!" After saying that, he turned around and left, which can be described as quite decisive.
"Hey, wait!" The old man stopped her, sighed heavily, gritted his teeth and said, "Sell, I can't sell it!" β
That's it, fifty taels is fifty taels, if this thing remains in his hands any longer, he must be tortured and crazy.
Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, Sinan took the Dan stove and looked at it while walking, and was very satisfied with the treasure he found. What ghosts and gods and strange powers are all false, she will use this alchemy when she goes back to see what the so-called possessed ghosts are!
Seeing that the time was still early, Sinan was about to go to other areas to see if there was anything he could bring back to Xiaobao, but he saw a familiar figure in front of him.
She kept an eye on it, slowed down her pace and followed behind, and the more she looked, the more sure she became that the man in front of her, who was wearing a black brocade robe, was handsome, but with a hint of cunning and gloomy eyes, was the ex-fiancΓ© of the original owner - King Zhou, Fu Wenlang!
It's really a narrow road, I didn't expect to meet him here.
The original owner Fu Wenlang can be described as infatuated, and even promised a promise of private life, the two grew up together, it can be said that they are childhood sweethearts, and the relationship is also very good.
But just when the Nalan family fell in the middle of the road and the momentum of the dealer gradually rose, Fu Wenlang gradually alienated himself from the original owner, and finally was with his sister Si Meng.
There is no need to identify, this Zhou Wang is a scumbag, Sinan doesn't know that the original owner's vision of men is too bad, so he will like this kind of scumbag......
At this moment, Fu Wenlang was talking to the man on the side, and he was smiling from time to time, looking very happy.
Sinan restrained his breath and followed quietly behind, while concentrating and listening to the conversation between the two.
As a military doctor of the special forces, Sinan, who has been on the battlefield for many years, has already practiced a sensitive five senses, which is not a problem to eavesdrop.
"Lord Wang has found something good today?" Fu Wenlang asked the man next to him as he walked.
The latter laughed: "That's natural, it's rare for the black market trading center to open in Kyoto, so I naturally want to buy it, but how can His Highness be free today?" β
Fu Wenlang fanned the folding fan in his hand, and the smile between his eyebrows was even stronger: "I heard that today's black market human* beast competition has restarted, I was curious to take a look, if which demon beast wins, I will buy it back, it just so happens that there is still a lack of a pet in the house as a housekeeper." β
Hearing this, Lord Wang smiled, shook his head and said: "Then Your Highness is afraid that you will not be able to get your wish, as far as the minister knows, the last champion was actually a human being, and this time that person also participated, Your Highness can't buy someone to go back to the house to watch the house, right?" β
"The champion is actually an individual?!" Fu Wenlang was also very surprised, it was not easy for someone who could defeat the demon beast.
"That's right, I saw that person's skills in the last competition, it's really amazing, a demon beast that is ten times bigger than the big can win, and the strength is even more terrifying, it's really a well-deserved candidate for the champion! If that person also participates this time, Lao Chen is really looking forward to it. The man's face was full of appreciation.
Although he can't buy a person to go back to his house and open the door, Fu Wenlang has always been a person who cherishes talents, and it is a waste and a pity that such talents are not used by him.
Fu Wenlang's interest became more and more intense, he turned his head to look at Lord Wang, and said, "Do you know what the identity of the champion is?" β
"Most of the people who come to the Human* Beast Arena are from poor families, these people are fighting for their lives, even if they can defeat the Demon Beast Arena, they will only give some small profits, and the big ones will be occupied by the Arena, so I think it should be the children of some poor families." The man shook his head, very sorry.
"But I heard that she was still a woman, and her name seemed to be ...... Zhou He. β
Still a woman?!
Fu Wenxiu raised his eyebrows slightly, and said lightly: "Zhou He? What a good name, so let's go check it out? β
"Okay, Your Highness, please!"
"Please!"
Sinan followed behind, and naturally listened to all the conversations between the two, she paused in her steps, and looked at the back of Fu Wenlang leaving with heavy eyes.
Zhou He......
She didn't want to look at the scumbag anymore, but when it came to Zhou He, she couldn't help but worry, although she wasn't sure if it was Zhou He in Fu Wenlang's mouth, but Sinan always had a bad premonition.
Si Nan hasn't seen Zhou He since yesterday, and with her character, even if she can't take care of her younger brother, she will come to tell Sinan and Mo Yu that it is not her style to see no one.
It was Si Nan's figure that flashed, and he followed directly behind Fu Wenlang and his party.
The trading center has a direct passage to the arena, and there are not a few people who go to watch the game, Sinan mixed in the crowd and heard a lot of news.
This ten-day human-animal competition is divided into three stages: the preliminary round, the semi-final and the final, and today's preliminary round is the bloodiest and most exciting, because many famous nobles from Kyoto who have nothing to do gather here, and even many nobles from other places in Daliang also come here, and the scene is extremely hot.
Sinan followed the crowd all the way into the venue, the entrance is a hall, which is distributed with various windows, and there are well-known contestants hanging on the windows, and the audience can bet on their own, the more they bet, the more they win, and the largest platform in the center is also the main battlefield today, that is to bet on whether humans die more today, or monsters die more.
There are a lot of people gathered at each window, and the crowd is excited, some bet on a player, and there are also three or two gathered together to discuss which one has a larger winning rate, which is extremely lively.
But Sinan saw Zhou He's name at a glance in those many windows, and there were the most people around her windows.
She blended in, and she heard all kinds of talk.
"This little girl is still fierce, she was an official army last time, and she will definitely not be able to run this time!"
"Yes, I'll bet on her, I will definitely make a lot of money this time!"
"Not necessarily, I heard that in order to make the competition more intense this year, the arena has found a lot of powerful demon beasts, and some of them can't even be defeated by the monks of the Jindan Realm, is this little girl okay?"
As soon as this person's words came out, many people also hesitated, and their hands pressed the money one after another, and at this moment, a silver ticket of one thousand taels appeared in front of everyone's eyes and was slapped on the board.
"I'll press her to win."
Sinan's eyelids jumped, this voice was too familiar...... It's Fu Wenlang!
She looked up and saw a man in a black brocade robe standing in front of the betting board, Xu was afraid that people would recognize him, Fu Wenlang found a mask to put on, but he was still recognized by Sinan.
"One thousand taels, that's all!"
"Which family's son-in-law is this, he has pressed so much, no matter what I do, I can't be wrong!"
"I'll do it too!"
Fu Wenlang's generous move immediately attracted a large group of people to follow suit, he smiled faintly, and didn't care, and disappeared into the crowd after placing the bet.
Sinan looked at the 1,000 taels of silver tickets, his deep eyes were slightly sunken, although he didn't know what kind of medicine this scumbag bought in his gourd, but Zhou He was her person, and he would never allow others to dig the foot of the wall!
However, she gave enough money to Zhou He to help Zhou Ji treat his illness and the usual life of his sister and brother, why did she still come to participate in the competition? If it weren't for the money, what would Zhou He have to worry about?
The game is about to begin, the spectators who bet have entered, and the paddock, which is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, is full of people, and the lights are shining on the field below, and the host slowly walks out.
"Everyone, welcome to the preliminary round of the Human*Beast Arena!" The host bowed gentlemanly, and suddenly a cheer rang out below.
"I'm sure you've been looking forward to it for a long time, and the game will start soon." As he spoke, the host stretched out his hand and patted it lightly, and the crisp voice echoed in the venue of the University.
The fence in the distance opened, and the black-clothed attendants pushed several large carriages into the field, lined up on the ground, and the carriages were covered with black cloths, and they were not visible, and they could not see what was inside.
Just when the audience was puzzled, the host smiled slightly, waved his hand to those entourage, and only heard a smack, all the black cloths were pulled down together, and the audience was stunned at first, and then happy laughter resounded throughout the venue.
The carriage was loaded with a huge cage, and in that cage it was actually human beings in coarse cloth coats, men and women, of all ages, the youngest was only seven or eight years old, apparently still a child.
These people had apparently been locked up in cages for a long time, and when they suddenly saw the light, they were all blindfolded, and some of them retreated in panic, while others looked like dead ashes, like dead people.
These are today's human players.
"Unbasketed!" The moderator commanded.
With a bang, the cage was removed, but no one moved, and most of the players stood trembling in place, looking around in panic.
"Is it fun?" The host smiled and clapped his hands, "The more interesting ones are still to come." β
Suddenly, only to hear a roar, the larger fence gates on both sides were opened, and more than twenty fierce demon beasts rushed out from inside, opening their bloody mouths and rushing towards those people!
"Ahhh Good! β
For a while, the crowd was excited, and everyone screamed and looked at the paddock, the reason why the preliminary round was wonderful was in these bloody scenes, watching people being eaten by demon beasts, or demon beasts being killed, for these scenes of famous nobles who were idle at home were all excited.
Or rather, they don't treat people as human beings anymore......
