"I hope I never have to see you again!"
Xi Youyou pursed her lips and said. Just seeing him reminded her of being teased all the way last time, causing a fire to rise in her beautiful eyes!
This guy is the biggest jerk she’s ever met, hands down!
"Youyou, don’t be rude!"
Grandpa Xi immediately scolded upon hearing this.
He also had a headache, not understanding why his granddaughter had such a big issue with Su Chen, it seemed like ever since the first time they met, they just didn’t get along!
"No worries, no worries."
Su Chen waved it off with a smile.
He was just teasing this little girl, why would he get angry with her!
This made Xi Youyou even more upset, feeling like even though it was his fault, it seemed like she was the one being unreasonable!
"Alright, since we’re all here, let’s set off."
Mu Yunbai said.
Then everyone boarded a flying beast, which was large enough to accommodate a dozen or so of them.
However, Su Chen was a bit surprised to find that the flying beast’s realm was actually Pure Origin Realm, Fifth Turn!
This shows that the foundation of the Tianhe Guild is much deeper than that of Yuntong Commerce Guild!
Though upon thinking a bit, it was understandable, mainly due to the special role of inscriptions!
Even in Cangxuan Territory, inscriptions were still something that only a few could master!
Su Chen noticed that besides Xi Youyou, who occasionally threw him resentful glances, there was another young man also looking at him with hostility.
He knew why Xi Youyou was like this, but he couldn’t figure out the reason for the young man’s attitude.
However, he didn’t think much of it, there were plenty of people hostile towards him, caring about each one would be exhausting!
"Mr. Su, Grandpa Xi greatly admires your expertise in inscriptions, may I ask from whom you learned the Path of Inscriptions?"
Mu Yunbai tentatively asked.
"No one really, I just happened to come across a book on inscriptions and studied it a bit myself."
Su Chen replied nonchalantly.
Upon hearing this, the people from Tianhe Guild immediately shook their heads!
To them, this young man was obviously brushing them off!
Stumbled on a book and learned by himself?!
How is that possible!
The Path of Inscriptions is such an intricate and profound field, even with advanced books, you still need someone to guide you through the door!
Especially to reach a certain level of expertise!
So there were only two possibilities, either this guy was outright lying, or Grandpa Xi severely overestimated him.
Su Chen saw everyone’s expressions and knew their thoughts, inwardly smiling bitterly:
How come no one believes it when I tell the truth!
...
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Mu Yunbai and his group reached their destination—Mao Ling City.
Previously, the Tianhe Guild had already arranged accommodations, so the group could check in directly upon arrival.
"Once you’ve settled your things, feel free to go about your activities."
With two days before the official competition, Mu Yunbai wanted everyone to approach it relaxed:
"By the way, Youyou, you’re more familiar with Mao Ling City, so why don’t you show Mr. Su around for the next couple of days?"
"President, I..."
Upon hearing this, Xi Youyou instinctively wanted to refuse.
"Youyou, what, you’re not even listening to the president now?"
Grandpa Xi’s face grew stern.
Seeing the two people who usually doted on her the most spoke like this, Xi Youyou pursed her lips and said:
"Fine, I’ll do it."
Su Chen hadn’t intended to have her accompany him, but seeing her unwilling expression, he found it quite amusing and didn’t say anything.
Soon, the two of them left the inn, and Xi Youyou’s face was as long as could be.
"What’s with that look? It was the President and your grandpa who wanted you to accompany me, I never asked for your company."
Su Chen intentionally said grumpily.
Upon hearing this, Xi Youyou became indignant:
"I don’t know what tricks you used to make my grandpa trust you so completely, and now even the president is taken in by you."
"What tricks do you think I used?"
Su Chen teased.
"You’re so shameless, how would I know what sort of sneaky tricks you used."
Xi Youyou retorted.
Just then, Xi Youyou’s eyes lit up, and she immediately walked over to a nearby stall.
It was a stall selling various little trinkets, and to be honest, the accessories were quite beautifully crafted.
Xi Youyou looked them over, liking many of them, before finally pointing at a necklace made of special crystal stones and demon beast bones and asked:
"How much is this one?"
"Miss, you have a great eye, this necklace is the treasure of my stall."
The stall owner beamed:
"The price is quite fair, just three Red Mysterious Stones!"
In Cangxuan Territory, Spirit Stones were not as commonly used, and often Red Mysterious Stones were the most prevalent currency!
Su Chen silently clicked his tongue, a small accessory actually costing three Red Mysterious Stones, that’s quite steep!
Xi Youyou didn’t seem to think much of it, as this was the unique market price in Cangxuan Territory, for example, a meal could cost one or two Red Mysterious Stones.
Just as Xi Youyou was pulling out her Red Mysterious Stones to pay, suddenly, a woman approached and picked up the necklace Xi Youyou had her eye on.
"I’ll take this necklace."
The woman said directly.
Xi Youyou frowned immediately upon hearing this:
"I already had my eye on this necklace, and was about to pay for it!"
"Oh, so you haven’t paid yet."
The woman glanced at Xi Youyou, saying:
"Since it hasn’t been paid for, it’s ownerless!"
"I’m sorry, but this young lady here had already set her eyes on it."
The stall owner apologized.
"How much is this necklace?"
The woman asked nonchalantly.
"Three Red Mysterious Stones."
"I’ll pay double!"
Hearing this, the stall owner’s eyes lit up immediately.
This offer was certainly tempting, but looking at Xi Youyou, he hesitated, after all, she did see it first.
Provoked by this, Xi Youyou got fired up and gritted her teeth:
"I’ll pay ten!"
"Compete with me?"
The woman looked at Xi Youyou disdainfully:
"I’ll pay twenty!"
Upon hearing this, Xi Youyou surrendered submissively.
Announcing ten Red Mysterious Stones was already a bit regretful, being just a little accessory.
"Hmph, with your gall, challenging what I, the young lady, have set my sights on!"
The woman arrogantly replied.
"Hold on!"
Just then, a voice rang out.
"What, you’re not satisfied?"
At those words, the woman looked over, filled with disdain and a bit of surprise.
She had originally thought, given Su Chen’s plain attire and his cultivation only at the Great Supreme Realm, he was just a follower!
Unexpectedly, he stood up at this moment.
