Chapter 9.2
Chapter 9.2
Feng Shao smiled and said, “I think you need money, right? Think about it, as long as you answer my question, you can get the money. Even if you can’t get it, you won’t suffer! If I were you, no matter whether what the other party said is true or not, since I have the opportunity to get the money, I would never let it go. What do you think of this reasoning?”
After thinking for a while, the child had to say, “My little brother is sick, and he needs medicine, but I have no money to buy medicine.”
“Where are your parents?”
Hearing Feng Shao’s question, the child’s eyes immediately became moist, “My father was beaten to death, and my mother, I didn’t know where she went. Now it’s just me and my little brother left at home. I…I, I have to find a way to support myself, and I have to support my little brother. If my little brother dies of illness, I will be the only one left in this world…”
Feng Shao couldn’t help sighing when he heard the child sobbing and finishing speaking. He stuffed the silver ingot into the child’s hand, and said softly, “Go buy medicine for your Little Brother first, and then wait for me at the door of the restaurant next to Linglong Pavilion.”
The child looked up at Feng Shao in disbelief, “Really? Are you really going to give me this ingot of silver?”
“Yes, but this ingot is not free, you have to do something for me. I told you in advance that my work is not so easy to do, so you have to be mentally prepared. But you can take it now, go buy medicine for your little brother, and come to me after buying the medicine.”
The child nodded vigorously, “Thank you, benefactor!”
The child spoke, held the silver ingot tightly, bowed their head, and ran towards the pharmacy.
There was a reason for Feng Shao to do so.The so-called emergency rescue does not save the poor, the ingot of silver he gave the child can only save them for a while, but cannot save them forever. When the money is spent, the kid and the little brother will be in trouble again.
Therefore, Feng Shao thought that he would introduce children to work in Linglong Pavilion so that they could have a stable income. As Linglong Pavilion was a subordinate organization of Yunjian Pavilion, no one dared to cause trouble, so the child and the little brother would have shelter.
But before that, he had to test the kid’s character first. If the kid was really waiting for him at the place Feng Shao said, then it proves that this child was an honest and trustworthy person. Then the kid was worth saving once more.
But if the child didn’t come, it would prove that the child’s character was not good, so he didn’t need to continue to worry about it.
Looking at the back of the child leaving, Feng Shao couldn’t help sighing. In this fantasy world, there are always many such miserable people. He could only save one or two, but not everyone.
He thought of Lin Xiaoran. Seven years ago, when he met Lin Xiaoran, he was also like this child. He didn’t know what happened to her after she ran away from home and she even became a little beggar.
He withdrew his gaze and continued to walk towards Linglong Pavilion.
When we arrived at Linglong Pavilion, before Feng Shao could take out the exclusive “Fengyun Token” of Yunjian Pavilion, the shopkeeper behind the counter greeted him with a big smile on his face,
“Young Master, you haven’t been here for a long time. You came here today just when I wanted to see you. Want to find something good?”
Feng Shao took out a note and handed it to the shopkeeper.
“I need the items on this list, shopkeeper, please help me calculate the price.”
The shopkeeper took the note, and after doing some calculations, he said, “The things the young master wants are not expensive, a total of 120 spirit stones, or 120,000 taels of silver. Will the young master pay the bill or do I put it on credit?”
The price given by the shopkeeper had already been discounted.
If someone else came to buy it, the price would have more than doubled.
But when he heard the price, Feng Shao still had a bitter look on his face.
He thought that 80 spirit stones at most would be enough for these things, and he carried almost all of them, but he didn’t expect that the actual price would be much higher than he imagined.
Seeing Feng Shao’s expression, the shopkeeper understood.
This future son-in-law was good at everything, but he was too poor.
Every time he comes to spend, eight out of ten times he has to pay on credit.
Fortunately, Feng Shao had good character, and he would always come to balance the accounts as soon as he had money.
It seemed that the young master was going to pay on credit again this time.
Just as he was thinking, he heard Feng Shao say: “Shopkeeper, I just got a new sword, let’s see how much it can be worth?”
When the shopkeeper heard the words, he suddenly regained his spirits.
“I don’t know if the young master is going to pawn a life or a death?”
“Damn it.”
The so-called “living pawn” means that the pawned thing would be redeemed in the future; while a “dead pawn” means it would never be redeemed. The latter pays more than the former. After all, the former was regarded as a mortgage loan, while the latter was a direct acquisition.
Linglong Pavilion also had a pawn business, and the shopkeeper immediately brought Feng Shao to the back hall.
After arriving in the back hall, Feng Shao took out the Blood Refining Sword from the storage ring, handed it to the shopkeeper, and said.
“Shopkeeper, let’s take a look at this sword first.”
When the shopkeeper saw the blood-red sword, several familiar names popped up in his mind.
He stroked the blade carefully and then used a cultivation technique to test the Blood Refining Sword up and down.
The whole process took half an hour.
When he finally put down the long sword, his eyes were filled with horror.
“Could it be that this sword is the legendary lost Divine Armament of Blood Wing?”
Feng Shao nodded.
“It seems that the shopkeeper has also noticed it. Yes, if my guess is not wrong, this sword is the legendary Blood Refining Sword.”
