nTranslator: 549690339

nXia qingchen found it very hard to like that commanding attitude.

nHe still stood with his arms crossed, his expression indifferent. “You suspect

namong all the people present, you’re the most free and most likely to steal things while we’re busy. If I don’t suspect you, who should suspect me? ” “Come over, I want to search you!” Elder Xing an berated.

nA body search?

nI’ve been standing here the entire time, ” Xia qingchen said calmly. how would I have the chance to steal something right under your nose? ‘

nIn order to avoid suspicion, he always stood far away.

n“Won’t we know if it’s you or not after a quick search?” Elder Xing an had the intention to find fault and naturally wouldn’t listen to any explanation.

nManager yang walked over with a trace of anger. elder Xing an, it’s better to investigate clearly first. A body search is an insult.

nHe believed that Xia qingchen didn’t steal anything.

nIt was just that perhaps they really shouldn’t have invited Xia qingchen over at this moment. It was because they had coincidentally encountered the most unkind elder Xing an, and also happened to encounter the loss of the goods.

n“Shopkeeper yang, I remember you saying that you would be responsible for the loss of the goods, right?” Elder Xing an’s chopstick-like fingers gently rubbed against each other.

nHis eyes were deep in his eye sockets and he slowly squinted.

nManager yang was at a loss for words.

nThere had never been a shortage of goods before, and this was the first time.

n“Unless you really want to take responsibility, move to the side and watch obediently.” Elder Xing an shouted coldly.

nManager Yang’s lips moved, but he hesitated.

nHe didn’t wish for Xia qingchen to suffer from an unjust wish. After all, he was the one who had invited Xia qingchen here.

nHowever, that butterfly spirit was worth hundreds of stars!

nHow could he bear it?

nJust as he was hesitating, Xia qingchen’s soft sigh rang out from behind him.

n“Elder Xing an, lightly press the top of the butterfly demon’s head three times.”

nElder Xing an frowned, ‘what are you doing? The butterfly spirit is an extremely delicate thing, how can you touch it at will?”

nManager yang also looked at him with a puzzled expression.

nPress the butterfly spirit’s head? What was he doing?

n“Then you’ll be missing a butterfly demon forever.” Xia qingchen calmly spoke.

nWith some doubt, elder Xing an opened the Jade box and very carefully tapped the butterfly spirit’s forehead three times with his index finger.

nBut the butterfly spirit did not show any unusual signs.

n“And then?” what? ” elder Xing an had a questioning look on his face, ” you can avoid the body search like this? ”

nHe was about to walk over and search her body.

nSuddenly, he heard a soft rustling sound.

nHe looked down and saw that it was the butterfly spirit. A colorful liquid was flowing out of its mouth.

nThe drops of liquid condensed into a smaller butterfly spirit.

nIts size, shape, and appearance were obviously the missing butterfly demon.

n‘ this … elder falling star was stunned on the spot, unable to understand what was happening.

nManager yang was equally surprised. He had come into contact with the butterfly demon many times, but he had never seen such a strange scene.

nHe subconsciously turned his gaze toward Xia qingchen. “Young master Xia, this is …”

n“The butterfly spirits will devour each other.” Xia qingchen said briefly.

nDevouring?

nManager Yang’s eyes were blank, indicating that he had never heard of it.”The butterfly spirit isn’t a living thing. It’s just a liquid that looks like a butterfly.

nHow can you say it’s devouring?”

nThe butterfly spirit was a mysterious liquid born by a strange butterfly, not a real butterfly.

nBetween two liquids, how could they devour each other?

nXia qingchen was expressionless as he explained. there are male and female butterfly spirits as well. Under a suitable temperature, there’s nothing strange about a male butterfly spirit devouring a female.

nPreviously, elder Xing an had touched the two butterfly demons with his palm. The temperature of his palm caused the male butterfly demon to start devouring the female butterfly demon.

nHow could it not be strange?

nThe people present had never heard of such a saying before, yet Xia qingchen spoke with a calm expression.

nHowever, the big Butterfly spirit did spit out the small butterfly spirit just now.

nThis was enough to prove that Xia qingchen’s words were correct.

nManager yang was surprised and couldn’t help but look at elder Xing an. He sneered, “”Are you still going to search this body?”

nAfter all this, it was a mistake.

nIt was fortunate that elder falling star had made such a big fuss. It turned out that he was inexperienced and did not know that the butterfly spirit had such a hidden characteristic.

nElder falling star was expressionless as he said indifferently, “”lf there’s something, I’ll change. If there’s nothing, I’ll encourage you.”

nThe meaning of this sentence was to correct the mistakes pointed out by others if they existed, and to encourage themselves if they didn’t.

nWhen it was used on Xia qingchen, it meant that if he stole something, he would correct it. If he didn’t, he would admonish himself.

nHe had accused her without any sense of apology. Instead, he acted as if he was doing it for her own good!

n“Alright, that’s all for today’s sorting.” Elder Xing an put away the register book and looked at the remaining precious materials with a deep meaning.

nHowever, he wanted to leave.

nHowever, Xia qingchen might not be willing.

n“Hold on!” Xia qingchen spoke indifferently.

nElder Xing an cast a sidelong glance at him,”what?” Do you want this old man to apologize to you?”

nThat attitude, that tone … It was impossible for him to apologize.

nit doesn’t matter whether you apologize or not. I don’t care. Would Xia qingchen care about that little bit of apology?

n“Hmph!” Elder Xing an snorted and walked away, ignoring him.

nelder Xing an, ” Xia qingchen calmly continued. I want to correct a few of the materials that elder Xing an has appraised wrongly.

nUpon hearing this, shopkeeper yang, shopkeeper Zhou, and the others felt their hearts tighten.

nIt was not a small matter to make an error in the appraisal of materials.

nIf they were to sell precious materials as inferior materials and were found out, the relevant people of the heavenly star Hall would have to accept the punishment of the sect.

nThe degree of punishment was determined by the losses.

nHowever, they felt relieved.

nThose precious materials had been personally appraised by elder Xing an, so what mistake could there be?

nHowever, they didn’t notice the trace of panic that flashed past elder Xing an’s eyes.

nHe turned around and scolded, “ignorant child, how dare you question my appraisal?” Get lost immediately!”

nAs an elder of the star Lord’s peak, it was no big deal for him to berate a low-level disciple.

nHowever, manager yang and the others could sense that something was amiss.

nWas elder Xing an’s expression too excited?

n“Young master Xia, have you discovered something?” Manager yang asked.

nXia qingchen stood at his original spot and calmly said, “”ln the ninth Jade box, it’s not white-headed ginseng, but snow whisker Emperor ginseng.”

nThe white-headed ginseng was worth ten stars.

nThe snow whisker Emperor ginseng was worth 80 stars!

nManager yang was taken aback. He was about to ask when Xia qingchen continued, “”ln the tenth Jade box, it’s not the tearful bluestone, but the profound feather flower stone.”

nThe former was a low-grade material, only worth twenty stars.

nThe latter was a legendary divine stone that only existed in books and was

nworth 100 stars!

n“The twelfth Jade box …”

nXia qingchen consecutively pointed out five Jade boxes with problems.

nIt was filled with the most expensive materials in this batch.

nElder Xing an’s pupils contracted, and his eyes were filled with shock and hatred.

nIt was obvious that elder Xing an had not made a mistake in the appraisal of all five Jade boxes.

nIt was intentional.

nIntentionally appraising a valuable item as a low-grade item.

nThen, he would send people to buy all these things at a low price and obtain astonishing profits from it.

nHowever, he had never thought that he could not hide from a young man even though he had deceived so many shopkeepers!

nyou’re truly ignorant and fearless. You actually dare to question my appraisal results. I admire your courage. Of course, elder Xing an naturally wouldn’t admit it and had a condescending attitude.

nHe would only watch one chapter today and make up for it at the fourth chapter tomorrow..
