Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 35 Sha Lao

"Click."

Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, the old man wiped the oil off his mouth with his sleeve, rubbed his stomach, and showed a satisfied look.

"After all these years, the steamed carp at Yunchen Inn still tastes the same." The old man glanced at Jiang Xuan who was sitting opposite him and asked, "Hey, little kid, why don't you eat?"

Jiang Xuan was helpless and put a piece of fish from his bowl into the old man's bowl: "I see that the old gentleman likes this dish so much, I really can't bear it." This piece of fish was given to Jiang Xuan by the old man out of courtesy when the dish was just served, and the rest all went into the stomach of this "old customer".

"You, you." The old man shook his head, picked up the chopsticks briskly, put the piece of fish into his mouth, and tasted it carefully.

At this point, the entire dish had entered the old man's stomach.

"Okay, we don't owe each other anything anymore, let's settle the bill." The old man said to Jiang Xuan.

"That old gentleman..." After coming out of the armor shop, the old man followed Jiang Xuan all the way. Jiang Xuan was worried that the old man would continue to pester him, but he didn't know what to say after he opened his mouth.

"Don't worry, we don't owe each other anything, and I won't follow you anymore." The old man gave Jiang Xuan an affirmative look.

Jiang Xuan felt relieved, took out a piece of silver from his pocket, and looked at the old man: "Old sir, look..." He was afraid of the old man and was cautious in everything, for fear that he would make the old man unhappy and come back to bother him again.

"Let's pay the bill." The old man waved his hand and leaned back slightly, looking very comfortable.

"Sir, have you two finished your meal?" A waiter came forward, the same waiter who had come when you entered the store.

"I'm done eating." Jiang Xuan handed the change to the waiter and added, "Hurry up."

The waiter was stunned and asked Jiang Xuan, "Sir, what's the hurry?"

"Change, of course."

"Sir, the steamed carp and the pot of wine you ordered are not worth one or two taels of silver. You need five hundred coins," the waiter explained patiently.

"Another five hundred coins!" Jiang Xuan cursed in his heart, but did not show it on his face. He just looked at the old man with a puzzled look.

The old man nodded to Jiang Xuan and grinned.

Jiang Xuan had no choice but to take out another piece of silver from his pocket and hand it to the clerk. He said again, "Hurry up."

"Okay." The guy said with relief.

"Wait, make two more pancakes," the old man instructed the waiter.

"Make two pancakes!" The waiter nodded, shouted, and ran to the kitchen.

After walking out of the inn, Jiang Xuan felt very painful, but he was secretly happy because he was about to get rid of the entanglement of the strange old man.

"Old sir, although I have already bought this set of armor, I am still curious. Since you like this set of armor so much, why did you buy it for me?" Jiang Xuan expressed his doubts.

The old man smacked his lips, as if still savoring the steamed carp he had just eaten, and said, "I can't gather the money right away. Why not help them out? I can even exchange it for a delicious meal."

Jiang Xuan naturally didn't believe what the old man said, and continued to look at the old man with a slightly expectant look.

"Hehe." Seeing that Jiang Xuan didn't believe him, the old man shook his head and said to Jiang Xuan, "You little kid, you look easy to fool, but you're not." "Of course there are better ones."

"Better? Where?" Jiang Xuan instantly became interested.

"Of course I can't tell you. What? Are you still trying to snatch it from this old man?" The old man leaned closer to Jiang Xuan. Then, he stepped back, stroked his beard, and laughed.

"Let me see the black spear on your back." The old man became serious for once.

Jiang Xuan was resisting in his heart, but facing the old man's serious look and his slightly intimidating gaze, he found it difficult to refuse.

With a tap of his heel, the black spear fell into Jiang Xuan's hands as usual. But now that he was wearing this set of armor, it was a bit more difficult for the black spear to fall into his hands.

"This spear is called Black Rhino, it's more powerful than ordinary ones..." Jiang Xuan handed the Black Rhino to the old man, but he was still worried. He was ready to give him a few instructions before letting go to avoid hurting the other party.

But the old man ignored him, took the spear from Jiang Xuan's hand, kept some distance from Jiang Xuan, and danced with the spear calmly.

Completely different from Jiang Xuan's style, the black spear in the old man's hands moved fast and slow, appearing perfectly obedient, and his movements were dense and deliberate. Jiang Xuan realized that the old man before him was the best spearman he had ever seen, surpassing his father's by a hair's breadth.

Jiang Yuan was originally a peak Heavenly Rank warrior. Before he met his wife Lou Xingman, Jiang Yuan's strength dropped to the high Heavenly Rank due to some reasons he did not want to disclose, and it became difficult for him to make any further progress since then.

Afterwards, Jiang Yuan and Lou Xingman met in Yingzhou and settled down in Yingzhou. The Jiang family also gradually changed from being outsiders in the eyes of the people of Yingzhou to one of the three major families of the Yingzhou Chamber of Commerce.

Jiang Yuan never reveals his identity or strength as a warrior in front of outsiders. Only a few people know Jiang Yuan's identity as a warrior.

Jiang Xuan's spearmanship skills were all taught by Jiang Yuan, including the "Suiyuan" spearmanship that Jiang Yuan himself was quite satisfied with. Because of this, Jiang Yuan was also the most skilled spearman Jiang Xuan had ever seen.

It was not until today that Jiang Xuan realized from the old man in front of him that there is always someone higher than you.

The old man's spear skills were far superior to his father's. Jiang Xuan speculated based on his father's high-level Heavenly Rank strength that this old man was at least a warrior at the peak of the Heavenly Rank!
"Qiang."

"Black Rhino, it's really good." The old man threw the black spear, and with a sound, the spear landed behind Jiang Xuan. However, it deviated slightly and landed on the ground behind Jiang Xuan.

"I feel unfamiliar with this." The old man gave an awkward smile.

"It's okay. Please forgive me, senior. I really didn't notice it before..." Jiang Xuan was shocked and didn't know what to say. He could only bow to the old man to apologize.

"What's the use of senior or not? Everyone in Qizhou City who knows me calls me Old Man Sha. I quite like this name, so you can call me Old Man Sha too." said the old man.

"No, you are much older than me, I'd better call you Mr. Sha." Jiang Xuan waved his hands in front of him.

"Old Sha, many people have indeed called you that before. Well, whatever you say." Old Sha looked at the black spear that fell on the ground behind Jiang Xuan and reminded him, "Put the spear away."

Looking at Jiang Xuan again, Old Sha said calmly: "Let's look at the silver spear later. It's getting late, why not stay at the Yunchen Inn." After that, he walked back to the Yunchen Inn with his hands behind his back.

"Old Sha, why don't we find another inn? This one is really a bit..." Jiang Xuan said this, but he also felt something was wrong in his heart: "Oh no, I'm stuck with this Old Sha again."

Touching the silver in his arms, Jiang Xuan sighed and followed Sha Lao helplessly.
