The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 563 - 322 Mirror_2
Just now, when Wu Liuzhi raised his hand several times, Ning Xiaoxian had already noticed the six fingers on his right hand. However, when he touched the magic artifact on the table, his last finger emitted a faint white light. It seemed that Manager Wu relied on this innate divine ability to appraise treasures. If those antique appraisers in Huaxia had this ability, they would have no worries about living a life of luxury for their entire lives.
The prisoners they had previously caught were of low realms, so the magic artifacts in their hands weren’t worth much. She took out twenty or thirty pieces, and Wu Liuzhi only valued them at forty thousand spirit stones, which meant that she actually spent only twenty thousand spirit stones to buy the Spectrum Mirror. But when these magic artifacts were taken out, they piled up like mountains, and Wu Liuzhi looked at her as if she were a professional burglar, instantly feeling a sense of kinship.
An ordinary cultivator occasionally had to kill someone to get one or two magic artifacts to sell unless they were part of a group like the Immortal Bandits. And she, looking so young, was unexpectedly brutal; tsk tsk, a customer with potential.
While they were speaking, a clerk from the Gold Storage Tower brought up a brocade box, which held the very Spectrum Mirror that Ning Xiaoxian had been longing for.
She suppressed her excitement, thinking joyfully: "Mirror mirror, from now on you are mine." Wu Liuzhi, seeing her excitement glow all over her face, praised: "The young lady is truly passionate and loyal. We cultivators often become indifferent to worldly affections, no longer caring about our secular families."
Ning Xiaoxian was startled, then remembered her excuse had been "my younger sister has contracted soul detachment," so she quickly put on a smile to thank Manager Wu and was about to put the mirror away.
At that moment, a flash of light appeared at the entrance of the Gold Storage Tower, and a man and a woman walked in. Ning Xiaoxian and others were facing Manager Wu and did not notice them, but the woman, having good eyesight, caught sight of Ning Xiaoxian about to take the Spectrum Mirror from the box and suddenly exclaimed: "Hold on!"
She took a few large strides over and said to Ning Xiaoxian: "Whatever price you paid, I’ll double it. I want this mirror."
Ning Xiaoxian paid her no attention, reaching for the mirror. The woman’s eyebrows shot up, and with a flash of gold light from her hand, she struck at Ning Xiaoxian, shouting: "Let go!"
How could Ning Xiaoxian accept such a loss? She raised her left hand, and Tusk rose from her palm. With a "ding," a light tap deflected the golden light, and her right hand, without any pause, had already swept the mirror into her sleeve.
Only with the treasure in hand could she relax and look up.
The golden light she had deflected was actually a Soft Sword shimmering with light, which its owner probably wore on her waist as a belt. This woman was the same one Ning Xiaoxian had just seen in the guildhouse an hour ago, the red-dressed lady who was being affectionate with Senior Brother Chen. She looked more closely, and sure enough, Senior Brother Chen was closely following behind the red-dressed woman.
With the mirror now in her possession, the red-dressed woman said angrily: "Hand it over!"
Ning Xiaoxian glanced at her coldly and turned to Wu Liuzhi: "I’ve heard that things like this are not tolerated inside the Gold Storage Tower, so what’s this all about?" The red-dressed woman had used a weapon to attack her inside the Gold Storage Tower, yet Wu Liuzhi had not moved against her, which was very telling.
As expected, Wu Liuzhi said: "This is Miss Chun, the only daughter of our Master Chun." He then sighed and shook his head at the red-dressed woman, "Miss Chun, please stop making trouble. The deal is done, the money exchanged, the mirror now belongs to her."
Miss Chun in red retorted: "When I spoke out, the item was still in the box and hadn’t reached her hands. It isn’t considered a completed transaction. Why can’t I make a higher offer? No matter what price she gives, I’ll double it."
Ning Xiaoxian replied coldly: "I apologize, but I urgently need this mirror and cannot relinquish it. Once the item is in my hands, there’s no reason for me to hand it over again."
Miss Chun narrowed her eyes and suddenly said coldly: "You must hand it over whether you want to or not! This is the Gold Storage Tower, not a place where you can act rashly." She looked at Manager Wu, "Manager Wu, seize her!" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
Wu Liuzhi was startled: "This young lady is a guest, and she has no violated any rules of the Gold Storage Tower; we can’t just seize her arbitrarily."
Miss Chun said: "How could there not be?" She thought for a moment, "This item was actually already the property of the Gold Storage Tower, and she has no right to redeem it!"
Ning Xiaoxian ignored her and asked Wu Liuzhi: "Whose daughter of your immediate superior does she belong to?"
Wu Liuzhi awkwardly replied: "She is... the beloved daughter of Mr. Chun Ru Hai, the owner of this Gold Storage Tower building."
"No wonder," she realized, "No wonder she’s so presumptuous, even daring to ignore the rules of the Gold Storage Tower."
Miss Chun’s eyebrows flew up, and before she could retort, a voice rang out: "Such sharp words from the young lady, that’s quite a heavy accusation." Subsequently, a man in a green robe slowly walked down from the second floor. With his appearance, Miss Chun immediately glared at Manager Wu.
The man in the green robe had a clean and handsome face, showing a few similarities with Miss Chun’s features. Ning Xiaoxian thought to herself, scolding the junior only to have brought out the senior, but aloud she curiously asked: "And who might you be?"
"I am Chun Ru Hai, the humble owner of this section of the Gold Storage Tower. My daughter has caused you much inconvenience, for which I apologize." He turned to Miss Chun, "Jing’er, Uncle Wu had to call me over because your behavior is truly shameful."
It turns out Wu Liuzhi had discreetly sent a message to Chun Ru Hai to come over. It seems his daughter had caused quite a headache for Wu Liuzhi too.
Ning Xiaoxian remarked indifferently: "So, the mirror does indeed belong to me, right?"
Chun Ru Hai nodded: "Even though I am the building owner, I must abide by these rules. Since you and Manager Wu have agreed on the price and finalized the transaction, the item belongs to you."
Miss Chun pouted behind him, daring not to make a sound but continued to glare at Ning Xiaoxian. (To be continued.
