Chapter 469 Helpless
He stuttered when he spoke, and felt his heart bleeding, "Of course."
Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, Su Lin looked at the Dongxu Furnace in his hand with great satisfaction. Now he finally had a sharp tool for alchemy.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Cave Void Furnace. The current treasure is bound to the host and will not fall when attacked."
Seeing Su Lin so happy, Zhou Hongyu looked puzzled.
Because in his opinion, this broken furnace is useless. There is no martial arts aura on it, and it does not help improve the strength.
Spending these five thousand taels of silver would be like taking advantage of someone else.
He quickly reminded the owner of Baibao Pavilion: "I said, this is a distinguished guest of our Zhou family, you can't be slaughtered like a fat sheep."
Zhou Hongyu also had good intentions, but his vision was only so narrow. He still wanted to find justice for Su Lin and was talking about bargaining.
The boss of Baibao Pavilion was unhappy, so he took this opportunity to take it back. It was a God-given opportunity.
"Hey, Master Hongyu, I have given you enough discounts. This thing is really a treasure. You see this guest likes it very much."
Seeing this, Su Lin quickly pulled Ban Qiu away and called Zhou Hongyu, "Let's go!"
"Hey, Doctor Su, wait a minute." Zhou Hongyu was very puzzled. He couldn't help but wonder, could he have really made a mistake? This thing contains the universe, a different world.
After leaving the Baibao Pavilion, Su Lin said: "You don't have to do this. The value of my five thousand taels, the actual value of this thing, is immeasurable."
He didn't explain too much, because it was just playing the harp to a cow. How could a warrior understand those things about a cultivator?
However, Su Lin still expressed his gratitude to Zhou Hongyu, "I know you are afraid that I will be cheated, and I have to thank you for this."
Seeing that Su Lin actually had such an open-minded and broad mind, Zhou Hongyu was extremely impressed.
I secretly praised in my heart: He is indeed an immortal!
After getting the alchemy furnace, what Su Lin wanted most at the moment was to get the Zixia Pill as soon as possible, so he couldn't wait to find a secluded place.
The Zhou family was not the most suitable choice. Just when he was about to ask Zhou Hongyu about a suitable location, there was a noise not far ahead.
It seemed that a passerby broke the antique and the store claimed compensation.
But Su Lin judged based on his intuition that there must be something wrong!
"If you don't have three thousand taels today, don't even think about leaving! Don't you even look at where this place is? Who told you to be so careless?"
"It's a shame, just break this one. If you break everything on this shelf, I won't be able to afford the compensation even if your whole family is sold!"
This sounds nice, but in fact, three thousand taels is already a huge sum of money.
After all, not everyone in this world has money, especially for such an ordinary merchant.
Su Lin didn't want to meddle in other people's business, and he didn't want to see too much of this kind of excitement. It was already common enough.
It's just blackmail. Didn't Yan Kaidian make a show of it outside Deji Hall last time? It's a pity that their tricks are too low.
Seeing this, Zhou Hongyu explained from the sidelines: "Huh, that's the Chen family's property, and they like to do this kind of business."
He did want to act bravely, but now the Zhou family simply did not have the strength to offend the Chen family.
Unexpectedly, before the three of them had walked a few steps, they heard a louder movement over there.
The Chen family grabbed the old vendor and said, "You old man, if you dare not pay the money, we will chop you up!"
They even resorted to the trick of singing red and white faces, and the shop owner came out with a smile on his face.
"Old man Wu, tell me, why are you doing this? Are you careful when handling things? I know your family is poor, and I don't want you to lose money, but I can't make the decision, can I? These are all belonging to the Chen family. I'm just a storekeeper."
"However, if you are willing to accept me as your son-in-law, I can pay for these three thousand taels of silver on your behalf. Let it be used as a betrothal gift for your daughter."
At this point, his true intention was revealed.
It turns out that this guy has long coveted the beauty of Old Man Wu's daughter, but Boss Wu and his daughter were unwilling to do so, so they came up with such a plan. It was really sinister.
How could Old Man Wu agree with this beautiful woman's method of seeking wealth?
He said directly: "Then you'd better chop me up. If you don't want any money, I'll let you have my life."
Hearing this, the shopkeeper looked unhappy and angrily threatened: "Seriously? Then I will chop off your legs and feet according to the rules!"
Old Man Wu straightened his back. His family was already penniless anyway, so why were they afraid of this?
But the shop owner had expected it, so he sent someone to notify her daughter. Seeing her old father being so humiliated, she would definitely beg for mercy.
"father!"
Sure enough, a girl approached from far away and knelt directly at the door of Chen's shop.
"Please, let my father go! I can agree to marry you!"
The onlookers in the city were in an uproar.
Of course, it's not a joke that she is so weak, but they are all resentful. The Chen family is too bullying.
But there is nothing they can do. In this Yuhua City, the Zhou family is probably the only one who can oppose the Chen family.
But they are both rich and noble, so they are the same species. How can they help the poor?
Zhou Hongyu was very dissatisfied with these remarks. He was an upright person, so naturally he couldn't stand this kind of behavior, but there was really nothing he could do.
If the Chen family is offended now, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Hmph, after my Zhou family wins this competition and gets the opportunity to go to the secret realm for a trial, I will definitely improve my strength. When I come back, I will show these beasts how powerful I am!"
Zhou Hongyu made a statement.
Su Lin just smiled and kept silent.
He believed that if there was no external interference, the Zhou family would have already lost.
They couldn't beat the Chen family on weekdays, so could they expect a miracle to happen during the competition? This was completely deceiving himself.
"Don't worry about it. There are many unfair things in the world, and there is no end to the improvement of strength. You will always meet a strong person you can't match."
Su Lin couldn't help but warn Zhou Hongyu about this truth.
Then he shouted, "Banqiu, let's go."
Only then did he realize where Banqiu, who had been following him, had gone?
Su Lin was stunned for a moment, and then immediately looked around, and was surprised to find that Banqiu had actually surrounded him to watch the fun.
"Look, your daughter is still sensible. You really raised a good daughter, my father-in-law."
"Go back and prepare quickly. I will ask someone to bring the betrothal gifts to propose marriage tomorrow."
Old Man Wu looked ugly, and he was angry and wanted to take action.
But how could an old man over 70 be a match for the Chen family warriors? He was defeated in the blink of an eye and was slapped twice by the shop owner.
"Old man, don't be shameless. You should feel lucky to have a son-in-law like me!"
Seeing this, the people around were secretly cursing: What a piece of shit.
