Chapter 296: Evil Plots
"Let's do this, this is not the place to talk. Fellow Taoist Mo, move aside and we'll talk in detail!" Shi Yao finished his ramblings and finally wanted to talk about business.
Duan Qing was speechless. This is not the place to talk, but your grandson is talking nonsense! Are you deliberately wasting my time?
However, thinking that it would be more private to handle the things personally, Duan Qing had to be patient, put all the things away, and followed Shi Yaoqian to a small courtyard near Fangshi.
There is a towering tree growing in the courtyard, with green branches that almost cover the entire courtyard. A pair of stone tables and benches under the tree complement each other perfectly with the antique blue brick and tile houses, giving it a unique and elegant charm.
"How about it, can my courtyard still attract the attention of fellow Taoist Mo?" Shi Yaoqian said with some satisfaction.
Duan Qing nodded lightly. Shi Yaoqian's yard was indeed good, but what he was more concerned about right now was to sell what he had in hand as soon as possible so that he could leave the city as soon as possible.
At this moment, the courtyard door suddenly creaked, and a young man pushed in. He looked older than Duan Qing. His face was full of flesh, and there was a terrifying scar at the corner of his mouth, which made him look very... It's fierce.
Scarface looked at Duan Qing curiously and cast a doubtful look at Shi Yaoqian.
Shi Yao patted his forehead dryly, feeling like he was waking up from a dream. "Oh, look at my memory, I forgot to make an appointment with fellow Daoist Liu!"
After saying that, he quickly explained to Scarface. "I'm really sorry, Fellow Daoist Liu. I met Fellow Daoist Mo today and had a great time chatting with me. I forgot about our appointment!"
Scarface grinned. "No problem, this fellow Taoist Mo also has business with fellow Taoist Shi?"
Shi Yaoqian glanced at Duan Qing and said nothing.
Duan Qing paused for a moment and nodded in acquiescence.
Scarface laughed. "Haha, that's a coincidence. Liu just happens to be selling some things to fellow Taoist Shi. Why don't we just come together so we can get to know each other better!"
Duan Qing glanced at Scarface lightly. "Then just follow what Fellow Daoist Liu said."
Shi Yaoqian's face was filled with joy. He walked to the stone bench under the ancient tree and invited Scarface and Duan Qing: "Come on, please sit down."
After the three of them sat down, Shi Yaoqian hurriedly urged Duan Qing. "Friend Daoist Mo, please take out all the things you want to sell so that I can estimate the price."
Scarface immediately looked interested.
Duan Qing was not in a hurry and looked at the two of them with a half-smile. "It's better to decide things on a first-come, first-served basis. Fellow Daoist Liu made an appointment with Fellow Daoist Shi first. How dare I come from behind? Fellow Daoist Liu should invite me first."
Scarface immediately felt embarrassed when he heard this.
When Shi Yaoqian saw this, he quickly smoothed things over. "I'm very familiar with Daoist Liu. If we're not in a hurry, it's better for Fellow Daoist Mo to come first."
Duan Qing sneered, took out a top-quality magic weapon flying sword directly from the storage bag, and placed it on the stone table.
Shi Yaoqian waited for a while, but didn't see Duan Qing bring out anything else, and he was suddenly confused.
"Where are the other things from Fellow Daoist Mo?" Shi Yaoqian asked doubtfully.
"This is the only treasure I want to sell. I wonder how much Taoist friend Shi will bid for it?" Duan Qingpi said with a smile.
"This...fellow Taoist Mo is deliberately teasing Shi!" An angry look flashed in Shi Yaoqian's eyes.
"Is it possible that Fellow Daoist Mo cannot trust Fellow Daoist Shi? Liu can testify that Fellow Daoist Shi is well-known in Liuyue City, he is honest and fair, and he is famous for his fairness." Scarface immediately smoothed things over for Shi Yaoqian.
Duan Qing said nothing and just looked at the two of them coldly.
Scarface's mouth twitched when he saw this. "Since Fellow Daoist Mo is so outspoken, then Liu should do this deal with Fellow Daoist Shi first!"
After saying that, he really made a show of taking something out from the storage bracelet.
Bang! There was a loud noise, and the stone table fell into pieces among the lightning and flint!
It turned out that it was Scarface who took out a black gold broad-backed broadsword from the bracelet and slashed directly at Duan Qing, but missed, and then chopped the stone table into pieces.
Three feet away, Duan Qing looked at Scarface and Shi Yaoqian and sneered. He had long noticed that there was something weird about these two people!
The man surnamed Shi invited him to this small courtyard, but said that he had made an appointment with someone else in advance, but the scar-faced man was still so invisible that he promised to make a deal together.
I wonder which monk is willing to reveal the treasure in his hand to others easily. Coupled with the tacit understanding between the two people's words and deeds, he is basically sure that the two people have a close relationship.
More importantly, he tried to test Scarface and asked Scarface to make the deal first, but Scarface couldn't come up with anything at all, so it was Shi who smoothed things over for him.
To sum up all the above, if he still can't tell that there is something fishy between these two people, then his life will be in vain all these years!
This man named Shi clearly had bad intentions from the beginning. He was chattering with him for so long in Fangshi. He must have been deliberately stalling for time so that he could secretly notify Scarface to meet him here.
Buying his stuff is fake, but killing people and grabbing treasures is real!
Scarface missed the target with a single strike, looking a little stunned.
Shi Yaogan snorted coldly. "Hmph, I'm afraid this kid has already noticed something is wrong with you and me and is on guard!"
Scarface grinned, looked at Duan Qing playfully, and said nonchalantly: "So what, I don't know how many smart-alecks like this I will kill in a year!"
After saying that, he took out a magic talisman and pinched it gently.
A transparent light shield was seen looming, covering the entire courtyard.
Duan Qing's expression did not change, and his expression swept back and forth over the two of them as usual. Both of them were in the late stage of metamorphosis, so what should he be afraid of!
"Hey, you are still pretending to be dead!" Shi Yaoqian couldn't help but teased when he saw Duan Qing's appearance.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Let's settle it quickly!" Scarface urged.
Shi Yaogan took out a flying sword upon hearing this, and together with Scarface, he attacked Duan Qing. Although he looked down on Duan Qing, Duan Qing was still in the late stage of Transcendental Realm, and he would not do such a thing as being arrogant.
The two of them had been killing people and stealing treasures in Liuyue City for many years, and they were still alive today because they were cautious and never picked those who were more powerful than themselves. They fought two against one and never failed.
Die! It was not certain who would die!
Duan Qing summoned Feng Qing and attacked like lightning. A sword swept directly on the two people's weapons, and the two were shocked and flew back several feet.
Liuyue City has a ban on flying, not only can't fly, but also can't use sword control.
This may be a great limitation for others, but for Duan Qing, whose body is as strong as the Questioning Heart Realm, it is tantamount to magnifying his own advantages.
With only his physical body and magic, let alone Shi Yaogan and the other two are only in the late stage of Transcendental Realm, even if both of them are in the early stage of the Questioning Heart Realm, he dares to fight with them, and his chances of winning are very high!
The two stood up from the ground and looked at Duan Qing in shock and speechless.
"Is this kid really only in the late stage of the Transcendent Realm?" Scarface asked Shi Yaogan in doubt.
Shi Yaogan's hand holding the sword was shaking, and he almost couldn't control it.
"It's absolutely correct, this kid is in the late stage of the Transcendent Realm!" Shi Yaogan said with certainty, but his tone was very unconfident.
