Wanbao Lady

The horse-faced monk turned his head and saw a woman in green slowly walking towards him.

The woman's appearance was not outstanding, but her temperament was extremely unique.

Like a gentle breeze, and like drifting clouds.

Although he clearly did not sense any fluctuation of spiritual power from the other party, after what happened just now, the horse-faced monk did not dare to be careless.

Then he clasped his hands and said, "I am a casual cultivator from Qilang Mountain, my last name is Ma Tao, I wonder who this fellow Taoist and this young friend are..."

Qin Lingshan excitedly ran to Chongfan and called out crisply, "Master!"

He then pointed at Ma Tao and said, "He is cheating!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked at Ma Tao in surprise and suspicion.

The stall owner laughed and said, "See, I told you that you were playing tricks!"

Ma Tao said with a fake smile: "My friend, don't say anything careless! Which eye of yours saw me cheat? How did I cheat?"

Qin Lingshan was not afraid at all and said bluntly: "I just saw that there was something in your sleeve, like a silk thread!"

She pointed at Ma Tao's sleeve and continued, "The treasure-hunting rat clearly guessed it right. When you were uncovering the cup, you deliberately used your sleeve to block a corner of the soul-covering cup. Then the thread-like thing flew out of your sleeve and dragged the spirit stone fragment into your sleeve. When you uncovered the second cup, the thread returned the spirit stone fragment to you!"

However, the other party's technique was so superb that she had to watch it carefully three times before she was really sure.

At this time, the golden-haired mouse also started to squeak, as if it was happy that its grievances had been cleared.

"Okay, so that's what's going on! I was saying that my treasure-hunting mouse has never made any mistakes, but why doesn't it work when it comes to you? Show everyone what's in your sleeve and let everyone judge for themselves!"

The stall owner shouted.

"You, you are talking nonsense! Don't be so gullible, you little brat!"

Ma Tao was also angry and pointed at Qin Lingshan, but he couldn't get angry because Chongfan was present.

"If you have the guts, turn your sleeves out and show them to everyone!"

Qin Lingshan was not afraid at all.

The onlookers, who were enjoying the fun, also started to make noises and shout.

"Yes, just turn your sleeves out and let everyone see!"

"You can tell whether it's true or false at a glance!"

Seeing that his little trick was exposed, Ma Tao was so angry that he glared at Qin Lingshan and then left in anger.

Amid the boos from the crowd, he looked like he was about to flee.

As the stall owner thanked her repeatedly, Qin Lingshan pointed at the golden-haired rat on the table and said, "I only have ten spiritual stones left. Boss, are you still selling it?"

"This..." The stall owner showed an embarrassed expression, "Can you add a little more?"

As he said this, he looked at Chongfan intentionally or unintentionally.

Qin Lingshan said angrily: "Boss, let me ask you, did you raise these little demons yourself? Or did you capture them?"

"Of course they are captured. Who doesn't catch monsters themselves to sell? Who has the time and energy to raise monsters to sell? It takes time and money."

The stall owner spoke confidently, as if it was a matter of course.

"Well, since you caught them, I see that with your level of cultivation, catching them is a piece of cake. At most, it's just a little labor fee. Ten spirit stones are already a lot! And your little mouse is not a treasure-hunting mouse at all. At most, it's just an ordinary mouse demon with a little treasure-hunting mouse blood mixed in!"

Seeing his lie being exposed, the stall owner was so anxious that he covered Qin Lingshan's mouth.

"Little ancestor, please stop talking! Ten spirit stones, just ten spirit stones!"

Unexpectedly, this little girl was quite knowledgeable and could see through his golden-haired rat at a glance.

You know, there is a huge difference between ordinary rat monsters and real treasure-hunting rats!

A good treasure-hunting rat can be sold at a high price of fifty spirit stones!

As for an ordinary rat demon, it would be good if it were worth three spirit stones.

The golden-haired rat in his hand is worth at most ten spirit stones.

Seeing that the stall owner agreed, Qin Lingshan handed over the money and the goods.

After looking at the number of spirit stones, the stall owner readily wrote a note to her.

"Here, this is the spell of the control ring on its neck. As long as you recite the spell, it will be obedient."

At the word "spell", the mouse instinctively trembled with fear.

However, Qin Lingshan did not even look at the note, she tore it up on the spot, and then asked, "How can I take off this collar?"

The stall owner spread his hands.

"Once this control ring is put on, it cannot be taken off unless it is broken violently."

After all, who would want someone who buys a demon slave to be out of his or her control?

Qin Lingshan pursed her lips and said to Ba Yan on her shoulder: "Brother Ba, please help me!"

Without saying a word, Bayan pecked the control ring off with his sharp beak.

"Be careful it may escape..."

The stall owner wanted to give a reminder, but found out that he was unnecessary.

Not only did the golden mouse not run away, but because it was freed from its restraints, it happily rubbed the little girl's cheek.

Yes, although this golden-haired rat doesn’t look very impressive, it is a monster after all.

It also weighs the pros and cons.

In a market town full of human monks, it would definitely be caught before it could run a few steps, and by then, it would have no chance of deciding whether to live or die.

It would be better to stay with this little girl peacefully.

After watching the few people go away, the stall owner looked at the ten spirit stones in his hand and was overjoyed.

However, after taking a few steps, Qin Lingshan sighed.

"what happened?"

Chongfan tilted his head and asked.

Qin Lingshan organized her words, then frowned and said, "Master, I think those little demons are too pitiful."

"Oh?"

Chongfan became interested.

Qin Lingshan scratched her head. "I think that since they have become monsters, they are no longer ignorant beasts. They have thoughts and feelings just like us, and should not be bought and sold by humans at will."

She said in annoyance, "How can I put it? Put yourself in their shoes. If this is a monster market and humans are placed in cages and bought and sold at will, this behavior is quite infuriating."

Chongfan nodded, "And then?"

Seeing the encouragement in her master's eyes, Qin Lingshan said in one go, "I think that any intelligent creature with thoughts and feelings should enjoy freedom! When I look at those little demons in the cages, it's like seeing a person. I want to rescue them, but I don't have any extra money, and I can't impose my will on others. Let Master, you help me pay for it."

She had just used the Qi-Observing Technique to check and found that the little monsters in the cages were almost all ordinary monsters with pure aura.

But he was arrested for no reason and had to wait for an unknown fate...

She hung her head like a depressed puppy.

"Master, I suddenly feel that this world is so cruel. The weak are bullied, and sometimes even their own lives are not in their own hands..."

Chongfan looked at Qin Lingshan's dejected look and couldn't help but touch her head.

After all, she is just a little girl who has never experienced any storms.

Chongfan looked at the horizon and said leisurely, "That's why we have to become stronger. As the saying goes, 'If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world', it's nothing more than this."

Qin Lingshan savored these words carefully and nodded seriously.

Yu Guangzhong did not see Chong Bing.

Eh? Wasn't Brother Chongbing with us just now? How come he suddenly disappeared again?

She looked behind her and heard her master in front of her say leisurely: "Let's go, he will be back soon."

Qin Lingshan suddenly had an idea and jumped up excitedly.

"Thank you, Master! Master is the best!"

But at this moment, someone in front of him excitedly said, "The disciple selection meeting is about to begin! Quick, let's go over there!"
