Chapter 255 Linglong
The girl in the red dress smiled gently, her face flushed, and said, "Of course it's beautiful with so many lovely flowers."
"Miss, I heard that you were unable to attend the last flower viewing party due to other commitments. Thanks to you, Dongmei is fortunate enough to attend this year's flower viewing party."
The girl in the red dress said, "Dongmei, you know, although the flowers here are beautiful, the most beautiful are the lotus flowers in the mansion."
"really?"
"kindness."
"Hehe, Miss, what are we waiting for? Let's go admire the lotus flowers!"
"Okay, let's go!"
The master and servant arrived at the pond. At that moment, many people were admiring the flowers and lotus flowers, all with smiles on their faces, looking very happy.
"Wow, miss, look! It's so beautiful!"
The girl in the red dress happened to be standing under a willow tree, so Tianyue squeezed through and smiled slightly at her, saying, "Excuse me."
The girl in the red dress smiled back and said, "It's alright."
Seeing the woman in the red dress was as beautiful as a flower, he was slightly taken aback and quickly asked, "Are you here to admire the flowers too, young lady?"
"Yes!"
Tian Yue nodded and said, "My name is Tian Yue. It's a pleasure to meet you! May I ask your name, young lady?"
The girl in the red dress hesitated for a moment, then said, "My surname is Yu, and my given name is Linglong."
"Yu Linglong, what a beautiful name. Miss Linglong, with you here, I feel that none of the flowers here are worth seeing."
Yu Linglong asked in confusion, "Why do you say that, young master?"
Tian Yue smiled, looking very gentlemanly, and said, "The flowers here are beautiful, but Miss Linglong is even more beautiful, making the flowers pale in comparison."
Yu Linglong chuckled and said, "Young master, you are joking. Although I am somewhat pretty, how can I compare to the flowers here?"
Just as Tian Yue was about to speak, Chu Xiong suddenly appeared behind him and said, "Junior Brother, you really are here."
Upon hearing this, Tian Yue cursed inwardly, quickly smiled at Yu Linglong, and then ran away, shouting, "Senior Brother, you're only going to admire it for a little while before you go back, no need to chase after me!"
Chu Xiong shook his head and smiled, then quickly chased after him.
"Huh? Miss, isn't that the eldest disciple of the Fire Wolf God?"
Yu Linglong frowned slightly, then nodded.
The maidservant then asked, "Miss, isn't that young master from earlier the son of the Fire Wolf God?"
Three days later...
Ever since meeting Yu Linglong at the flower fair, Tianyue has been unable to eat or drink for the past three days, her mind filled with the image of meeting Yu Linglong by the lotus pond in Ximenfu.
"Junior brother, you haven't looked well these past few days. Are you sick?"
"no."
"Then why do you always look so absent-minded and listless? Your master thinks we've bullied you!"
Tian Yue smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother, it's probably because I haven't rested well these past few days while practicing."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiong was slightly startled, but then he understood and smiled, saying, "Junior Brother, cultivation is not something that can be accomplished overnight; you must not be too hasty."
Tianyue stood up and said, "I know, Senior Brother. I feel really stifled and want to get some fresh air. Why don't you come for a walk with me?"
Chu Xiong laughed and said, "I won't go. Junior brother, you can go out for some fresh air, but come back early. Master is at home, so don't get scolded again."
Tianyue nodded and said, "Yes, I know."
The streets were bustling with people, and the goods displayed on both sides were dazzling. The shouts of various vendors rose and fell.
Tianyue wandered aimlessly down the street, her mind still filled with the image of Yu Linglong's graceful figure.
"Miss, this is beautiful."
Coincidentally, not far away, Yu Linglong and her maid were at a roadside stall, the maid holding a finely carved piece of jade. Tian Yue happened to see this and was overjoyed, his spirits lifting instantly.
The shopkeeper, a burly man in his fifties or sixties, laughed and said, "Young lady, you have a good eye! This is a top-quality piece of jade, the only one of its kind in the entire Xiu City."
Yu Linglong took it and looked at it. She thought it was quite unique, so she asked, "Boss, how much is this?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "If you really want to buy, young lady, how about this? This is my first sale today, so I'll give you a discount and make it thirty taels."
The maid said, "It's so expensive."
Yu Linglong remained expressionless, while the shopkeeper smiled and said, "It's already very cheap, but this is one of a kind!"
Yu Linglong smiled slightly, put the jade pendant back, and said, "Boss, I don't want it anymore."
The shopkeeper said urgently, "Miss, how about I give you a discount? Twenty-five taels?"
Yu Linglong smiled, then turned and left.
Not far away, Tian Yue tiptoed to look in the direction Yu Linglong had left, walked up to the vendor, picked up the jade pendant, looked at it, and said, "Boss, would you sell it for five taels?"
The shopkeeper flatly refused: "Five taels? The cost price of this jade pendant is more than five taels. I'm not selling it."
Upon hearing this, Tianyue nodded and said, "I just saw an identical jade pendant at a street vendor's stall over there. Could they be a male and a female?"
The shopkeeper sneered and said, "How could that be? This jade pendant is unique to me and only I have it in the entire Xiu City."
"No way! This jade pendant looks like an ordinary piece. Look here, and here... these are all flaws. How can it be compared to top-quality jade? Boss, who are you trying to rip off!"
"how is this possible?"
"No, you can see."
The shopkeeper took it and looked at it. Sure enough, he saw several small black spots inside the jade pendant. He was puzzled and said, "How could this be? It was definitely not there before."
Tianyue laughed and said, "Boss, is this still considered top-quality? I was only willing to pay five taels of silver to buy this jade pendant because the raw material was decent. Since you're not willing, I'll just buy the one over there. At least that jade pendant has no flaws."
He turned to leave, but the shopkeeper hesitated for a moment before quickly saying, "Young master, five taels it is."
Upon hearing this, Tianyue turned around and walked back to the stall. She took the jade pendant handed to her by the owner, examined it carefully, and said, "Boss, you wouldn't buy it even if I offered you five taels before. Now that I've looked at it carefully, it's not even as good as an ordinary jade pendant! I think it's worth at most one tael of silver."
The shopkeeper, with a stern face, said, "Alright, one tael it is."
Tian Yue readily took out a silver ingot and said with a smile, "Deal!"
He chuckled and lightly ran his finger across the surface of the jade pendant. The dot inside the pendant disappeared. He then chased after Yu Linglong and her servant.
