18 Mysterious Woman, Top Quality Medicine Cauldron (1/2)
Xiao Chen turned to take a look and saw an old man. This old man still seemed to be very alert and energetic. Xiao Chen tried, but he could not recall the name of this person, thus he could not help but ask out of suspicions, ”You are?”
That old man laughed, ”Haha, perhaps Young Master Xiao does not recognize this old man. I am the owner of this shop, my humble surname is Ma.”
Xiao Chen smiled gently, ”So it is Boss Ma. I am indeed thinking of purchasing a quality medicine cauldron, but the goods in your shop just seem to be average.”
Boss Ma laughed loudly, ” Since Young Master Xiao does not fancy any of these cauldrons, how about you follow me to the back to take a look?”
Go to the back and take a look? Xiao Chen immediately turned vigilant. In his memories, he did not recall having any contact with this Boss Ma. Why would Boss Ma suddenly invite him inside for no reason? What intentions did he have? Although he needed a good medicine cauldron, he could not help but feel suspicious.
”In that case, Boss Ma please lead the way.” Xiao Chen smiled gently. His desire for a good medicine cauldron outweighed the suspicions that he had. However, he still remained on guard and at the first sign of any trouble, he would immediately leave.
Boss Ma led Xiao Chen past the crowds and headed upstairs. After arriving upstairs, he could see that the goods displayed on the second floor were of a much higher quality than downstairs. Xiao Chen even spotted some Spirit Weapons. The prices here were high, thus there were many who were just browsing and only a few that were buying. Boss Ma just gently smiled and continued to lead the way. They continued until they reached the fourth floor.
From the second floor onwards, there were fewer and fewer people. When they arrived on the fourth floor, there were virtually no people. The decorations on the fourth floor were extremely luxurious. Despite this, the fact that there were no display shelves made Xiao Chen feel suspicious. Only a youth dressed in embroidered clothes stood at the window with his back facing away from the window, looking down at the streets below.
When that youth heard their footsteps, he turned and smiled: ”It's been tough Boss Ma, have a rest first, I will entertain this guest.” His voice was melodious, natural, graceful, and delicate, like the sound of a wind chime.
Boss Ma gently nodded his head and bowed before he withdrew. That youth quickly walked over and said to Xiao Chen, ”It was presumptuous of me to do this, forgive me if I have offended you.”
After Xiao Chen saw the appearance of this person more clearly, he smiled gently in his heart. This youth wearing embroidered clothes was actually a girl cross-dressing. Her facial features were picturesque, and she had white teeth and twinkling eyes, though the male clothing she wore gave her a heroic air.
Xiao Chen smiled, ”Since when did Mohe City have a beauty like you? I actually did not realize that.”
The girl smiled. She did not mind Xiao Chen's teasing, ”Young Master Xiao must be joking, I have heard of your distinguished reputation and upon seeing you for myself, I must say that it seems true.”
Xiao Chen's suspicions deepened in his heart. She knew of his reputation, but she was still so courteous to him? What was the origin of this girl? Without changing his expression, he kept smiling gently and said: ”I still have not asked you for your name yet.”
”Feng Feixue.”
