The Masked Strength of Sect's Trash : The Lazy Second Senior Brother chapter 37

Chapter 37 Little Rich Woman?

Lu Shaoqing turned his head to see a young woman staring at the item in his hand.

"Who are you?" Lu Shaoqing asked, clearly displeased.

Couldn't she see he was in the middle of haggling?

The young woman replied, "I'm Bian Rourou from Shuangyue Valley. May I take a look at that item?"

"If it's suitable, I’ll buy it."

Upon hearing that she was from Shuangyue Valley, the attendant was overjoyed. The disciples of Shuangyue Valley were notoriously wealthy, much richer than this stingy customer in front of him.

He turned to Bian Rourou and said, "Please wait a moment."

Then, he turned back to Lu Shaoqing with a stern face and said, "Sir, could you please let go?"

Customers like Lu Shaoqing were definitely not favored by shop owners.

The attendant reached out to take the item from Lu Shaoqing, but found that Lu Shaoqing was gripping it tightly.

The attendant eyed Lu Shaoqing warily and said, "Sir, this is the Tang family business. If you’re not buying, don’t obstruct others."

His words were a clear warning to Lu Shaoqing not to cause trouble here.

With a slight movement of his hand, the item in Lu Shaoqing’s grasp suddenly disappeared as he stored it in his ring.

Seeing the item vanish, the attendant was shocked.

Robbery in broad daylight?

"Thief!" the attendant shouted.

"Thief, my foot!" Lu Shaoqing retorted as he tossed out some spirit stones. "I’m buying it."

"Uh..."

The attendant stared at the spirit stones on the table, dumbfounded.

"You... You really bought it?"

The attendant still found it hard to believe.

Just a moment ago, this guy was acting like the stingiest person alive, and now he was paying up so quickly?

Bian Rourou was also staring at Lu Shaoqing in disbelief.

Lu Shaoqing glared at Bian Rourou, irritated.

This woman was really troublesome.

Lu Shaoqing had intended to haggle to save some spirit stones, but Bian Rourou’s interference forced him to pay the full price of three thousand lower-grade spirit stones.

He couldn’t let such a valuable item fall into someone else’s hands, especially with the reaction from his ring indicating its extraordinary nature.

Annoyed, Lu Shaoqing shot another glare at Bian Rourou before leaving.

This place had just cost him three thousand spirit stones.

What a frustrating woman.

Seeing Lu Shaoqing like this, Bian Rourou stomped her foot in anger and chased after him.

That man—so infuriating.

"Stop! What’s your problem?" she demanded.

Lu Shaoqing shot back, "What’s your problem?"

"Don’t you have any sense?"

Bian Rourou was fuming, "Who are you calling senseless?"

"You, of course!" Lu Shaoqing retorted. "I was haggling, and you had to butt in!"

Bian Rourou wasn’t someone to back down. She countered, "Did you buy it? Did you? You didn’t, so what’s wrong with me wanting to take a look? It’s not yours."

"Now hand it over. I’m thinking of buying it."

Bian Rourou also found the item intriguing and wouldn’t mind buying it if it suited her.

"Dream on," Lu Shaoqing sneered.

The item was already his; there was no way he’d let her see it. What if she recognized its value and it brought him trouble?

"You..." Bian Rourou was livid. This guy was so annoying.

She said, "I’m Bian Rourou from Shuangyue Valley. I hope you can part with the item. I would be deeply grateful."

Lu Shaoqing laughed, "Oh? Trying to intimidate me by mentioning Shuangyue Valley?"

"Do you think my Guiyuan Pavilion is so easily bullied?"

Bian Rourou was startled and quickly replied, "So you're from Guiyuan Pavilion. Senior, I hope you can part with the item. I’m willing to pay double."

Lu Shaoqing’s eyes lit up. Was she a little rich girl?

He looked Bian Rourou up and down, making her feel uncomfortable as if ants were crawling all over her body.

Bian Rourou couldn’t stand Lu Shaoqing’s invasive gaze.

Was this guy a pervert?

Her impression of him worsened.

Meanwhile, Lu Shaoqing was thinking to himself.

Should I rob her?

This little rich girl probably has a lot of money.

It’s said that Shuangyue Valley is built on a massive vein of minerals, making it incredibly wealthy.

However, after some consideration, Lu Shaoqing dismissed the idea.

It wasn’t practical and could easily expose him.

With great difficulty, Lu Shaoqing refused, "You’re not that pretty, but you sure have wild ideas."

With that, he quickly left.

This little rich girl might offer a price he couldn’t refuse, and that would be troublesome.

"Jerk, jerk!" Bian Rourou stomped her foot in anger, wishing she could strike Lu Shaoqing down.

"Just wait! Don’t let me run into you again."

Lu Shaoqing left, feeling thoroughly frustrated.

Bian Rourou’s interference had forced him to spend three thousand lower-grade spirit stones, wiping out more than half of his savings.

"I hope this item is worth it; otherwise, I’m at a huge loss."

Lu Shaoqing was eager to find out what the item was but knew it wasn’t the right time. He had to put that thought aside for now.

"Time to deal with Tang Yuanwei."

Lu Shaoqing had already gathered information about Tang Yuanwei’s whereabouts while at the Tang family business.

"Visiting a brothel under the guise of listening to music—what a fake show of elegance."

Lu Shaoqing despised people like Tang Yuanwei.

"But that’s fine. It makes luring him out easier."

"Using my junior sister as bait will surely make him come running."

With that, Lu Shaoqing set his plan into motion.

Before long, Tang Yuanwei, who was drinking at a brothel, received a letter.

After reading it, Tang Yuanwei’s eyes lit up, and he smiled smugly, "Hehe, so that’s where she’s staying."

"Great, you little girl. Let’s see how you escape my grasp this time."

Thinking of Xiao Yi’s sweet and adorable face, Tang Yuanwei felt a surge of excitement.

His lower half was already stirring.

Tang Yuanwei hurried out of the brothel, heading straight to the address in the letter.

Soon, he arrived at a location in the western part of the city.

Even Lingxiao City had slums, and the west side was where most of the poor people lived. Life here was hard, and the residents struggled daily just to survive.

Although Lingxiao City had both cultivators and ordinary people, they lived in distinctly separate worlds. Despite being in the same city, the divide between them was clear.

Xiao Yi always presented herself as an ordinary person, so Tang Yuanwei had assumed she was one.

Now that he had her address, he boldly went to her place.

She’s just a commoner; what’s there to be afraid of?

When Tang Yuanwei arrived, he found the place empty. He shouted, "Where are you? Come out!"

Suddenly, a powerful pressure descended upon him, and before he could react, he was knocked unconscious.

Lu Shaoqing appeared, "Heh, that was easier than I thought."
