Dai Xingluo's eyes were full of surprise. Just now, she was thinking that this man only tried to strike up a conversation and wasn't even willing to spend money.
Now that she knew the value of the jade pendant, she realized that she had misunderstood the man.
...
Xu Mu didn't intend to pursue things relentlessly.
Only a lovesick fool would pester a woman. A high - end hunter often appears in the guise of prey.
He would wait for Dai Xingluo to come to him on her own.
Xu Mu didn't leave immediately. He planned to pick out a few nice things here to take back and give to Ye Tong and the others.
Suddenly, Xu Mu noticed an item emitting spiritual aura. He immediately walked towards the stall.
There were many bronze items placed here. Xu Mu's eyes were fixed on a rusty and broken bronze piece.
He squatted down, picked up the bronze piece, and turned it over to see the small characters on the back.
Xu Mu was secretly shocked. He didn't expect to find a Xuan - grade martial art, the Gale Slash, in the antique city.
"Boss, how much is this bronze piece?"
Xu Mu pointed at the bronze piece and said.
"I bought this from tomb raiders at a high price. It'll cost at least..."
"One thousand yuan. I'll take it," Xu Mu interrupted the middle - aged man with a beard.
After all, it was just a Xuan - grade martial art. Xu Mu could just take a photo and let others practice it too.
"At least three thousand," the bearded man said to Xu Mu.
Xu Mu took a photo of the words on the back with his phone and then said, "It's just a bronze piece. For three thousand yuan, I could collect a whole pile of copper coins."
After putting down the bronze piece, he turned around and left.
"Dude! One thousand it is!"
Seeing that Xu Mu was really leaving, the bearded man hurriedly called out.
This bronze piece was picked up by an old man from the field when plowing the land in the village.
He didn't even spend a cent on it. He just gave the old man a cigarette, and the old man gave him the bronze piece.
Hearing this, Xu Mu nodded slightly. One thousand yuan for a Xuan - grade martial art. If those hidden aristocratic families knew, they might go crazy.
After paying the money, Xu Mu held the bronze piece in his hand.
Just then, an old white - haired man in a Tang suit, rubbing Buddhist beads, walked past Xu Mu.
When he saw the bronze piece in Xu Mu's hand, his face suddenly changed. He immediately asked, "Young man! Wait a minute!"
Xu Mu looked back at the old man. "What's up?"
"Can I take a look at the bronze piece in your hand?" the old white - haired man asked with a smile.
"There are plenty more here. You can look for one yourself," Xu Mu pointed at the stall selling bronze items.
"I only want to see yours. I want to check if it's what I'm looking for. If it is, I'm willing to buy it for ten times the price," the old man said while twirling the Buddhist beads.
The bearded stall owner cursed under his breath. He regretted selling it to this young man.
It was a pity that in the antique business, there were rules. Once the money was paid and the goods were handed over, there was no return.
"No, I'm not short of money," Xu Mu waved his hand and walked away.
The old man immediately looked at the stall owner and asked, "How much did he pay?"
"One thousand," the bearded man held up one finger.
The old man immediately caught up with Xu Mu. "Young man, I'm willing to pay ten times, one hundred million, to buy it."
The bearded man was stunned on the spot. He slumped onto the small stool. "I said one thousand yuan, not ten million!"
...
The old man chased after Xu Mu while sending a message on his phone.
That thing was probably a martial art. Just now, he had vaguely seen a few words on it.
These words often appeared in martial arts.
If it was really a martial art, he had to get it by any means necessary.
Dai Xingluo was sitting on the bench in the antique store, playing with the jade pendant Xu Mu had given her.
Thinking of what he said about her being stupidly cute, a smile appeared on her lips.
Just then, her phone vibrated.
After reading the message, Dai Xingluo's face, like that of an ancient beauty, suddenly became a bit sickly.
Especially that sickly smile was quite creepy. "Martial arts! Ordinary people don't have the life to possess them!"
She immediately picked up the dagger beside her, then lifted the skirt of her Hanfu, revealing her fair and jade - like legs.
She tied the dagger to her thigh, put down the skirt, and quickly left.
...
Xu Mu had left the antique city, but he noticed that the old man was still following him.
Without a doubt, this man probably also knew that it was a martial art.
So, he stopped and used his God's Eye to check the man's identity.
Name: Li Zizai
Occupation: Assassin
Favorability: - 5
Destiny Level: 1 (Max level is 10)
Seeing this, Xu Mu nodded to himself. As he had guessed, this old man was also an ancient martial artist.
Xu Mu hesitated for a moment and didn't get in the car. If the assassin remembered his license plate, he might cause trouble in Jiangshi.
He planned to find a deserted place to test this assassin's abilities.
So, he walked in another direction.
Seeing a small alley ahead, he immediately stepped into it, but the old man didn't seem to be chasing after him for a long time.
"Young man! Don't you want the money?"
Just then, the old man appeared at the entrance of the alley in front of Xu Mu.
At the same time.
Dai Xingluo, looking excited, appeared at the entrance of the alley behind Xu Mu, blocking Xu Mu in the alley.
With a smile on her face and a dagger in her hand, she quickly approached Xu Mu.
Xu Mu suddenly turned around and saw Dai Xingluo approaching.
Dai Xingluo also stared at him in disbelief, quickly hiding her hands behind her back and exclaiming in surprise, "It's you?"
Xu Mu's perception had no blind spots.
He could clearly see the dagger behind Dai Xingluo's back.
He cursed inwardly. This stinky woman was truly a vicious supporting female character. Was she planning to kill him?
If it weren't for dealing with the Dai family, he wouldn't have had so much to do with such a woman.
What good was it to be good - looking?
However, since he wanted to use her, Xu Mu decided to play the game to the hilt.
"Run!"
Xu Mu grabbed Dai Xingluo's hand and immediately ran out of the alley.
Li Zizai behind them was completely confused. What was going on?
But he didn't chase after them either. Since Dai Xingluo was here, the martial art should be safe.
Xu Mu pulled Dai Xingluo and ran quickly into the distance. Finally, they fled into a nearby residential community.
"Why were you there?" Xu Mu asked knowingly.
"I..."
Dai Xingluo didn't know how to answer.
"Did you see me and want to say hello?" Xu Mu helped Dai Xingluo come up with an excuse.
"Yes, yes, yes! I wanted to thank you. You saved me money today," Dai Xingluo kept the hand with the dagger hidden behind her back.
"We'll talk about this later. Here, I'll give you something," Xu Mu handed the bronze piece to Dai Xingluo. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. Moreover, he had already taken a photo of it.
Giving it to Dai Xingluo was okay. After all, he didn't think much of a Xuan - grade martial art.
"What is this?" Dai Xingluo asked in confusion.
"You may not understand. This is a martial art, and it's a powerful Xuan - grade martial art. That old man just now wanted to snatch this thing," Xu Mu immediately explained. "You just need to know that it's very valuable."
"Why are you giving it to me?" Dai Xingluo asked.
"You're quite cute. Instead of having it snatched by others, I might as well give it to you," Xu Mu turned around and walked towards the outside of the community. "You'd better hide it quickly. I'll lead him away."
Dai Xingluo stood still on the spot, watching Xu Mu's back as he/she walked away.
