Chapter 1055: Myrth: 25

(Unedited)

…

Xin Ja's figure is wearing a mask while venturing to the night market. The mask gives him the confidence to face other people. With the mask on hand, he is not that timid anymore.

As he watches the commotion from afar, Xin Ja showed a hint of reluctance to approach as the crowd is already gathering in the area. So he decided to turn around and go the other way.

But then his footsteps halted when he heard a slightly familiar voice.

"Man Wanjing! You are as shameless as ever… I could not believe that you are from the Ogden academy!"

When Xin Ja saw the owner of the voice, his expression showed a slight change under his mask. How could he not know the woman? It was the same woman who begged him to save the dying girl last night..

"It seems that the group was able to return safely." Xin Ja muttered as he saw the others behind her.

The young woman is as charming as ever. That night, Xin Ja actually took a few glances at her while treating the young woman. This is because he found her a bit pitiful.

But the atmosphere around the woman right now is a bit different. It seems that the young woman did not want to see any injustice done to others.

She stood there gallantly while both of her hands are on her hips.

"Fu Linxue… This is none of your business. I advise you not to stick your nose where it does not belong." Man Wanjing said with a sneer.

"Ha! Old man… how much is that lump of iron!" Fu Linxue asked while lifting her nose in the air.

"You…"

Seeing that there would be a competition for his ware, the old man suddenly has a gleam of craftiness in his wizened eyes. He showed a faint smile on his face.

Before Ma Wanjing could complete his sentence the old man has already replied.

"I only sell it for 2 low-quality Ki stones…" the old man said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the whole crowd suddenly went silent. Many of them have slack jaws as disbelief could be seen in their eyes. Some even blinked their eyes many times, just to make sure that they are seeing the right thing. There are also others who are shaking their heads as if they just heard something unbelievable.

How could a lump of iron be worth 2 Ki stones? One should know that a low-quality Ki stone is worth around 1,000 Jimal gold coins. A single Jimal gold coin is 100 Jimal silver coins, and 1 Jimal silver coin is 100 coppers. This is the current currency in the Jimal Kingdom under the Empire of Gong.

So if the lump of iron is 2 Ki stones, then the price is truly not worth it. Fu Linxue almost cursed the old man for his shamelessness. In her mind, she is scolding the old man for not going with her act.

"Hahaha… So… are you still going to buy it?" Man Wanjing said with a mocking tone.

"You…" Fu Linxue could not retort to that.

Although she has the Ki stone to buy that thing, yet from the look of the lump of iron, she could already tell that it's not worth it.

Her hesitation made Man Wanjing and his group jeered at her. Fu Linxue could not help but blush in shame.

Suddenly, an icy cold beauty walks towards the old man and then puts on the table two low-quality Ki stones.

"This will suffice, right?"

When everyone saw who the young lady was, they all showed fascination in their gazes. Many in the town have treated this woman as the most beautiful young woman in the town. She is almost the perfect woman in the eyes of many except for her icy temperament.

It is said that there was a time when she smiled, and at that time, it felt like spring just came to the land giving those who had seen her smile a blissful and wonderful feeling in their hearts.

The may infatuated young man ogled at her beautiful face and her curvaceous body. However, no one dare make a move, because they knew how strong this young woman is. She might just be a 16-year-old young lady, yet she is already a 3rd level Ki fighter, and her swordsmanship is second to none.

The group of Man Wanjing showed a dejected look on their face as they glared at the icy beauty in front of them.

"Liu Zhen… Don't be too smug. You are buying that thing but you did not know what it is… Humph! What a wastrel." Suddenly the only young woman in Man Wanjing's group snorted.

In the academy, she is one of the most beautiful female students, but she still pales in comparison to the icy beauty of Liu Zhen. The only consolation she has is that Liu Zhen is too cold to others especially towards men. Hence most of the men would just admire her from afar and never dare approach her.

So, this is where the young woman would use her advantage.

By using her charms she would attract men and would be at her beck and call.

"Yan Xinxi… at least we are using our own money. Unlike you who flirt with guys just to get what she wanted… You're nothing but a lowly…" Fu Linxue said with a sneer on her face, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted.

"Shut up!" Man Wanjing suddenly shouted with an ugly expression.

How could he let these people mock the woman that, he, Man Wanjing likes? Behind them, the group of other young men is not glaring at Fu Linxue and her group.

Everyone around them showed slight smiles on their faces, they knew that the two groups of youth would be having a brawl and they could not wait to see the spectacle.

"Wait! Do not fight here. The item is already bought, you people should just leave from my stall!" the old man suddenly interjected.

The two groups glare at each other but none of them made a move.

"Let's go Linxue…" Liu Zhen said as she turns around while taking the lump of iron with her.

The eyes of Yan Xinxi are glued on the lump of metal while glaring at Liu Zhen.

"Xinxi… let them go for now… We can still take that lump of iron later… Hehe…" Man Wanjing whispered in Yan Xinxi's ears.

This made Yan Xinxi feel a bit elated at the prospect of stealing from the woman that she hated the most in the academy.

As the two clashing groups parted, the crowd feel a bit dejected for not seeing a fight breaking through between the two groups. And so the crowd also left in dismay.

At this time, Xin Ja is in front of a stall that is also selling some metal lumps. He is currently choosing which type of metal he should use for the first artifact that he is going to create. And this made him feel a bit indecisive and uncertain.

Behind the stall is a tall woman wearing a black cultivator's robe with a black muslin cloth covering her face. On her slender waist hangs a black scabbard with a beautiful and exquisitely crafted sword handle. In one look, one could tell that this woman likes to always go on an adventure outside the town's walls into some of the most dangerous locations in the town's territory.

At this moment, she is looking at the masked young man who seems to be having a hard time choosing which lump of iron he should buy. One of her eyebrows is twitching while watching the scene in front of her.

She did not know if the young man is deliberately doing this, or that he is truly confused about what to buy.

But then before she could say anything, she suddenly heard the young man mutter some words which made her think that the young man truly knows his stuff.

Then suddenly, she saw the young man finally picking up a piece of an iron lump at last.

The iron lump looks reddish in color. This is the Faragrite metal rock that could be found in some of the caves near the town. The iron-type is sometimes found with other common irons. But no one dares mines a Faragrite metal rock on their own.

This is because around an area where Faragrite metal rock is found so does a pack of giant fire lizards which are mostly at the 3rd and 4th level.

Xin Ja gave the woman a single low-quality Ki stone according to the price she has set. After taking the rock and putting it in his bag, Xin Ja decided to return home.

As he walks down the dark road, he suddenly stopped with his eyes squinting.

He noticed that a group of people are hiding in the shadows as if waiting for someone. When Xin Ja felt this, he suddenly feel a bit afraid.

So he quickly dashed away from the main street and hide in a dark corner while spreading runes around him.

He patted his chest in nervousness as he watches the street. But when he saw the group walking down the street and a familiar figure in the shadows, he knew that the group last time will now going to clash.
