Chapter 20 Meeting Zhao Qiujun Again

Placing the six talismans on the stall, Jiang He glanced at Bai Minxin who was still sulking, and had to ask his eldest disciple:

"Yuan Xia, you watch over the stall for a while. Call me if you need anything. I'll practice for a while."

Then the price of talismans and the corresponding market status were introduced.

"Eh?"

Jiang Yuanxia looked at the cultivators coming and going in the market town. Most of these cultivators were taking advantage of the beast tide to hunt monsters. They were ferocious and carried a strong smell of blood.

But without waiting for her to respond, Jiang He closed his eyes and entered into meditation.

He did it on purpose. This disciple was too timid and cowardly, so he had to let her have more contact with the outside world.

After a while, a casual cultivator approached and asked:

"How many spirit stones does this auspicious talisman cost?"

Jiang Yuanxia secretly mustered up her courage, and just when she raised her head to respond, she discovered that the scars and murderous aura on the cultivator's body made her courage disappear in an instant.

Her voice was as small as a mosquito, and she answered tremblingly:

"Two spirit stones and three pieces."

The casual cultivator frowned, as if somewhat dissatisfied with the price. He glared at Jiang Yuanxia, ​​a look like the gaze of a ferocious beast that frightened her so much that her heart skipped a beat.

"So expensive? Are you robbing me?" the casual cultivator said angrily.

This group of talisman practitioners are really black-hearted.

During the beast tide, they earned more spirit stones by working hard, while these talisman cultivators raised the prices.

Jiang Yuanxia's face turned pale in an instant. She waved her hands quickly, her voice trembling even more:

"No, no, this is the price set by our Master. I cannot change it."

The casual cultivator looked at her timid appearance, couldn't help but sneer, and turned away.

Jiang Yuanxia breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned limply against the stall as if all the strength had been drained from his body.

She secretly glanced at her master who was practicing, her heart filled with fear.

The master asked her to look after the stall, but she was so disappointing that she was totally unable to cope with it.

Just at this moment, another casual cultivator walked over. Jiang Yuanxia's body instantly tensed up and his palms were full of sweat.

If I still can't sell it this time, I will definitely be punished by my master.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

However, when she raised her head and saw the cold eyes of the wandering cultivator, her courage disappeared again.

I had no choice but to look at Bai Minxin for help:
"Minxin, help me."

"Don't you listen to him? You can't even do such a small thing."

Bai Minxin snorted inexplicably, but did not sit idly by. He stepped forward to negotiate with the casual cultivator:

"Two spirit stones for three pieces. Although the price is slightly higher than before, things are valuable because they are rare. During the beast tide, a good talisman can bring you a lot of help. I don't need to say more."

The casual cultivator looked at the mortal girl in front of him and the cultivator meditating behind her, and realized that the girl was telling the truth, and that these two kinds of talismans were extremely popular in the beast tide.

He touched the spirit stones in his pocket with some hesitation. These were obtained with his life, and each one was hard-earned.

Bai Minxin saw the hesitation of the monk in front of him and continued:
"The number of talisman cultivators is small to begin with, but now there are so many demon hunters. If you don't buy, someone else will, and the price will only go up."

The casual cultivator was moved by her words, gritted his teeth, and finally took out two spirit stones to buy three tickets.

The two little girls were also very excited after getting the spirit stones.

"Minxin, you are so awesome."

Jiang Yuanxia looked at Bai Minxin's calmness and said with some envy.

"Yes, Senior Sister, you are too shy."

Bai Minxin was considering her words, but she found that Jin'er had disappeared, and she immediately panicked, "Senior Sister, have you seen Jin'er?"

The two of them glanced around hurriedly, their hearts filled with anxiety.

Jin'er is still young and lacks sufficient awareness of prevention.

She got lost alone in this market full of various wandering cultivators, and the consequences were disastrous.

"Jin'er! Jin'er!"

Jiang Yuanxia didn't care about her inner cowardice and shouted loudly with tears in her voice.

She was filled with self-blame. If she had not been so timid and cowardly and failed to keep an eye on the stall, perhaps such a thing would not have happened.

Although Bai Minxin looked calm on the surface, he was extremely anxious in his heart.

She opened her eyes wide and looked around, hoping to find Jin'er.

Just then, a female cultivator came over holding Jin'er's hand. She didn't look frightened or hurt.

"Are you looking for her?" asked the female cultivator.

Jiang Yuanxia and Bai Minxin breathed a sigh of relief at the same time and hurried over.

"Jin'er, are you okay?" Jiang Yuanxia hugged Jin'er, tears welling up in her eyes.

Jiang He also woke up from his meditation and was about to ask his disciples what happened.

When he cast his eyes on the female cultivator's face, he was stunned:
"Zhao Qiujun?"

The girl in front of me had a delicate face, fair skin, and a hint of subtle mockery in her slightly upturned mouth:

"Are you surprised to see that I'm not dead? So that wandering cultivator was you."

Is this person here to settle the score?
Jiang He's heart tightened. He really didn't expect that Zhao Qiujun would escape from the pursuit, and apart from looking a little pale, there was nothing serious wrong with him.

"Oh, I didn't expect that a weak and incompetent middle-aged cultivator like you who only eats and waits for death would have such a talented disciple. Well, after all, a worthless person like you has lived to be over 40 years old, but your cultivation level is not as high as mine. I'm afraid that if you went up there, you would cause trouble for me."

She smiled contemptuously, her eyes revealing disdain and ridicule, and then stroked Jin'er's head.

"But you made me very unhappy, so consider this apprentice of yours as an apology."

It's really incomprehensible.

Who said he had to save her?
Jiang He suppressed his dissatisfaction:
"As you said, I am just a casual cultivator who has accomplished nothing. How could I risk my life to save an unrelated person? Besides, Jin'er is a person, not an object. If she is willing, I will let her go with you."

Zhao Qiujun smiled confidently when he heard this.

Seeing that the child looked malnourished, it was clear that Jiang He was usually mean to her.

Isn't it easy to catch him and kidnap him?

"Okay, this is what you said."

She bent down and said to Jin'er in a gentle tone, "Little girl, you must have suffered a lot following this monk, right?"

The little girl remained indifferent, but she was not discouraged.

He's just a kid, how cold can he be?

She took out some scattered snacks from her bosom and continued to seduce him, "Look, I have a lot of delicious and fun things here. If you follow me, you won't have to suffer anymore. How about it, do you want to follow me?"

Zhao Qiujun just felt his waist was sore from bending, but the girl still didn't respond.

Jiang He walked forward, pulled Jin'er behind him, looked at Zhao Qiujun coldly and said:
"Is that enough? She doesn't want to go with you."
