Chapter 348: Chapter 348: 49 Zhang Jian

Continuing further in, there were even more people.

Lin Jing walked directly along the streets of Fang Market, heading deeper in.

Until he arrived in the middle of Fang Market, at a not-so-small square, and behind this square, there was actually a high platform.

This high platform was bustling with activity.

An auction was taking place.

At this moment below the platform, it was chaotic, with countless cultivators shouting out bids and competing for the items on the high platform.

And those items were none other than cultivators themselves.

Facing such an auction, Lin Jing had no interest whatsoever.

Instead, he turned around and continued walking further in.

Finally.

Lin Jing found an empty stall, walked up to it, took ‘Yan Shuishui’ off his body, placed it on the stall in front, and began selling ‘Yan Shuishui’.

What followed.

Was waiting for news from Lu Youjiu and Holaw Three Rivers, for the people from Li Yan Island to arrive.

……

Lin Jing’s wait lasted another three days.

In these three days, quite a few came asking, but they were all scared off by Lin Jing’s price.

Just then, another cultivator came to Lin Jing’s stall to inquire.

“Senior, may I know how you plan to sell this Fox Clan girl?”

The cultivator who asked was actually a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Lin Jing merely glanced at the Foundation Establishment Cultivator and then spoke directly,

“Two hundred thousand Midium Grade Spirit Stones.”

Having said that, he ignored the person.

Upon hearing Lin Jing’s price, the cultivator frowned and then walked away.

Lin Jing didn’t care in the slightest.

“Sigh, another one…”

“So boring, when will Jiu and San He’s news come?”

Yan Wanfei voiced his complaints to Lin Jing through Divine Sense transmission.

Regarding those who wanted to buy him, Yan Wanfei went from initial anger to subsequent disdain.

And eventually, he became completely bored, just wanting to end this mission as soon as possible.

Even with others treating him as merchandise right in front of him, evaluating him, he now had no reaction at all.

However, there was one exception.

And this person was currently heading this way.

“Oh no…”

“That ‘Scumbag Zhang’ is coming again, why is he like a bad penny…”

Yan Wanfei moaned at that moment.

This cultivator named Zhang Jian, from the first day he came here, took a liking to Yan Wanfei who was disguised as ‘Yan Shuishui’.

Of course, he was different from the others; he insisted on taking ‘Yan Shuishui’ as his disciple, claiming he wanted to teach her a Cultivation Technique.

And furthermore.

He wasn’t afraid of Lin Jing.

Because he was the kind of cultivator who practiced a special Pupil Skill.

On the first day, he had used his Pupil Skill to see through Lin Jing’s disguise, knowing Lin Jing was a Body Refinement Cultivator and not a bloodthirsty person.

Although he saw through Lin Jing’s disguise, he didn’t broadcast it.

Instead, he became more interested in the ‘Yan Shuishui’ on Lin Jing’s stall.

After asking the price and being shocked, he then began his relentless pestering.

It had to be said that Zhang Jian’s skin was indeed thick.

For three straight days, he came to this stall daily to hassle Lin Jing, trying to lower the price and purchase ‘Yan Shuishui’.

This annoyed Yan Wanfei to no end, making him want to beat the man up.

However, the mission was too important, so even if Yan Wanfei was extremely frustrated, he had to bear with it.

……

At that moment, Zhang Jian had already approached, coming to the front of the stall.

“Shuishui, I’ve missed you after a day of not seeing you,”

“Rest assured, today I will definitely persuade Lin Daoyou to transfer you to me…”

“As for you, my disciple, I am determined to take you.”

At that time, ‘Yan Shuishui’s’ fists were clenched tightly, and she also bowed her head down, hiding her facial expression from view.

“`

However.

Yan Wanfei’s Divine Sense transmission appeared in Lin Jing’s mind at this moment.

“I really can’t stand this guy anymore, I want to hit him…”

Yet Lin Jing transmitted back a single line:

“Hold on…”

“Ah……”

“This guy’s Pupil Skill must have been cultivated to his dog; it’s really pissing me off…”

What followed was a hysterical roar from Yan Wanfei.

However.

On the surface, ‘Yan Wanfei’ remained completely expressionless, curling up in a corner like a poor little girl who was being bullied.

……

“Lin Daoyou, is there really no room for negotiation in this matter?”

“The price you’re offering, 200,000, is simply unreasonable. I’ll add a bit more, how about 50,000 Midium Grade Spirit Stones?” Zhang Jian spoke, addressing Lin Jing.

“200,000, the price is not negotiable!” Lin Jing said with an icy face, his words firm and decisive.

Although Lin Jing had no ill feelings toward Zhang Jian, it didn’t mean he had to show him a friendly face.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

As for this man who was persistently disrupting his mission, Lin Jing felt somewhat troubled.

“To be honest, I’m quite puzzled by Lin Daoyou’s actions.”

“I know Lin Daoyou is not one of those bloodthirsty members of the Demonic Path, so why do this…”

Before Zhang Jian could finish, Lin Jing interrupted him.

“It’s not your place to judge my actions.”

Lin Jing’s voice was cold and indifferent.

“If you really want to buy it, bring out the Spirit Stones.”

After hearing this, Zhang Jian frowned and remained silent.

A long while after…

He spoke again:

“I don’t mean to hide it from Daoyou, but I come from the Thousand Islands Domain.”

“Yesterday, when I arrived here, I saw the subordinates of Demon Cultivator Dai Mao. They have likely already sent the message back to Li Yan Island.”

“In no more than two days, Demon Cultivator Dai Mao will likely send someone down to negotiate with you.

“Demon Cultivator Dai Mao loves little girls like Shuishui. If he finds out, he will definitely try to take Shuishui away.”

“If Shuishui falls into Dai Mao’s hands, she’ll truly be done for.”

“Lin Daoyou, I really hope you won’t sell Yan Shuishui to Demon Cultivator Dai Mao.”

However, Lin Jing still said coldly:

“Whoever offers the right price, I will naturally sell to them. You don’t need to worry about it.”

After hearing this, Zhang Jian had a look of disappointment on his face.

“It seems I’ve misjudged the person…”

After speaking, he turned and left.

Right after Zhang Jian left, Yan Wanfei transmitted to Lin Jing.

“Hey, ‘Scumbag Zhang’, this oddball actually has a sense of justice.”

“How about it, should I sell you to him to be his disciple?” Lin Jing teased soon after.

“Roll, roll, roll…”

“Don’t disgust me here. Having a sense of justice doesn’t mean I won’t hit him. Don’t let me run into him again.”

Yan Wanfei said through gritted teeth.

It seemed that Yan Wanfei indeed couldn’t stand Zhang Jian anymore.

Lin Jing then said:

“However, he mentioned that Dai Mao has already made a move. It looks like your days of suffering will soon come to an end.”

Upon hearing this, Yan Wanfei eagerly said:

“Let it end quickly.”

“These past few days, I’ve almost been driven mad…”

“After the mission is complete, I must make Lu Youjiu and San He compensate me. This mission is just too torturous.”

“Hahaha…”

Hearing this, Lin Jing couldn’t help but burst into thunderous laughter.

Meanwhile, ‘Yan Shuishui’ clenched her little fists tightly, her face covered in black lines.
