"Take out these one hundred high-grade spirit stones, do you dare or not!"

Seeing the stall owner's face gradually turn red, Chu Luobai remained silent in rebuttal, and Liu Lian's face grew even more smug.

"If you don't dare, then come with me to see the manager of the Misty Sea Society!"

"I want to ask those managers how they managed things, letting people like you in!"

The stall owner stood in the middle, wanting to explain but not knowing how to start. He didn't dare to urge Chu Luobai, after all, the aura emanating from this female cultivator was not something he could afford to offend.

If I had known it would turn out like this, out of control, I wouldn't have been so greedy!

The stall owner cursed himself inwardly for being so stupid.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering around him, Chu Luobai sighed and reached into his storage ring to take out a bag containing spirit stones.

She had spent too much money going down the mountain before, and had also used up a lot of her spiritual energy. Now she only had a pitiful ten high-grade spirit stones left in her bag.

"I've been spending too much lately."

Indeed, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

In the past, having one high-grade spirit stone was enough to last a long time.

Now, even a few hundred yuan isn't enough.

Chu Luobai pondered in his heart how to plant more spiritual herbs in the gourd, and casually handed the remaining ten high-grade spirit stones to the stall owner.

"I only have these few left. Manager Xu will come and give me the rest of the spirit stones later."

"If you can't wait, you can come with me to the Misty Sea Society's accounting office to withdraw the money..."

Before Chu Luobai could finish speaking, Liu Lian interrupted him.

"You all saw that! I told you these two were deliberately setting a trap to deceive us!"

"You only have ten spirit stones on hand, yet you dare to quote a price of one hundred!"

Liu Lian raised his head, glanced around contemptuously, and glared fiercely at the cultivators who had spoken up for Chu Luobai.

"You still want to find an excuse to leave?"

"You want Manager Xu to personally deliver the money to you? That's utterly ridiculous."

The stall owner was in a panic, not expecting that Chu Luobai really couldn't come up with a hundred high-grade spirit stones.

However, even if Chu Luobai could afford it, he wouldn't dare accept it.

This windfall is too good for him to bear.

Chu Luobai sensed a familiar aura approaching from the edge of the chaotic crowd. A subtle smile appeared on his lips.

"So what do you want?"

"Hmph, of course you need to apologize to me in person right now."

"Then come with me to find the shopkeeper again. I want to see which shopkeeper would give money to a swindler like you!"

Liu Lian spoke excitedly, taking a step forward and glancing sideways at Chu Luobai.

"Apologize? You wronged me back then and now, shouldn't you apologize and get out of this Misty Sea Society?"

Chu Luobai smiled calmly, meeting Liu Lian's gaze without fear.

This overly calm gaze made Liu Lian hesitate for a moment. Could it be that he had really made a mistake?

But Liu Lian quickly dismissed the idea in his mind.

The female cultivator in front of me had average cultivation and was dressed in ordinary clothes; she didn't seem to come from a good family.

If she came from a powerful family or a prestigious sect, she should have introduced herself when she introduced herself.

Otherwise, things wouldn't have come to this.

This is clearly a con artist trying to swindle me out of my spirit stones!

This time, Liu Lian was certain of his own thoughts, and after calming himself down, he spoke proudly.

How could I possibly wrong you?

"I'll stand here and wait for you today. If you really call the shopkeeper to give you money, I'll kneel down and apologize to you, saying that I was blind to your greatness."

If not...

Liu Lian smirked and looked Chu Luobai up and down, his eyes filled with malice.

"Then don't blame me for being ruthless in destroying the flowers."

Guan Shanyue also sensed something was wrong and quickly grabbed Liu Lian's sleeve, saying again.

"I don't want this cultivation technique anymore, let's go."

"Father said not to cause trouble outside. If he finds out we're doing this here... he definitely won't let us out next time."

When Guan Shanyue brought up Xu Haotian, Liu Lian's eyes darkened, and a look of disgust flashed in them.

"Moon, don't worry, this isn't a disturbance."

"When you travel the world, you will encounter all sorts of people. You are too weak. I will not feel comfortable letting you go out alone in the future."

As Liu Lian spoke, he reached out and ruffled Guan Shanyue's hair, his face full of affection.

His acting was excellent, but Chu Luobai didn't miss the disgust in his eyes earlier.

It seems that the relationship between Liu Lian and Xu Haotian is not as unbreakable as the outside world says, like a father and son.

And then there's Liu Lian, who clearly wanted to stand out, but his words mostly referred to Guan Shanyue.

Even though Guan Shanyue had wanted to leave many times, he still insisted on standing there...

To be honest, it doesn't seem like they were thinking of Guan Shanyue at all; it's more like they were making enemies for Guan Shanyue.

"Fairy, where exactly is the shopkeeper you mentioned?"

Seeing that no one had appeared for a long time, Liu Lian couldn't hide his excitement and mockery.

"Surely they didn't just make up a random person to try and deceive us?"

"Later, I'll definitely ask who let people like you in, dragging down the entire Misty Sea Society..."

Before Liu Lian could finish speaking, a dignified voice rang out from the nearby crowd.

"Fellow Daoist Chu was someone I invited in. What has he done to lower the prestige of the Misty Sea Society?"

The onlookers turned around and instinctively made way for Xu Fang when they saw him.

There are several managers in the Mihai area, and each manager is in charge of some floors.

And this Xu Fang just happens to be the manager in charge of the fourth and fifth floors.

Anyone who isn't a newcomer to the Misty Sea Society would recognize him.

Liu Lian also turned around, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes the moment he saw Xu Fang.

But he quickly calmed down and guessed that Xu Fang was only there to take charge of the overall situation.

After all, with so many people surrounding them, the order on the fourth floor was already being severely disrupted.

"So it's Manager Xu. Today I caught two swindlers who were trying to inflate prices. I hope Manager Xu will kick them out and not let such people in again in the future."

Liu Lian bowed slightly, his tone filled with dissatisfaction.

Xu Fang glanced at the group surrounded in the center and instantly got a general idea of ​​what was going on.

He had been wondering who would dare cause trouble on the fourth floor under his jurisdiction, but it turned out to be this son-in-law from Snow Eagle City.

Someone who has no tact.

Xu Fang cursed inwardly. If it weren't for the other shopkeepers giving instructions, he would have had this person kicked out long ago.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Liu. It's been a long time."

Despite his inner turmoil, he still had to say a few polite words.

"I invited this Fellow Daoist Chu to visit the fourth floor, and this stall owner is a cultivator who often sets up his stall here. How could he possibly be a fraud?"

"I think there must be some misunderstanding."
