Chapter 2377
“Alright, let’s go,”Hong Yun said to Jiang Fei.
“Okay!”Jiang Fei nodded. He knew that Hong Yun did not want the old shopkeeper to know that she wanted the illusion stone for him. After all, she had given it to him for free. It was a little uncomfortable to express it directly.
Therefore, Hong Yun and Jiang Fei walked out of the slave shop. The little boy that Nie Zheng had given to Jiang Fei also followed behind Jiang Fei.
“Wait!”At that moment, the old shopkeeper called out to Jiang Fei and the other two.
“Uncle, what’s the matter?”Hong Yun turned around and asked.
“Did you buy this child?”The old shopkeeper did not answer Hong Yun. Instead, he stared at Jiang Fei and asked.
“I guess so...”Jiang Fei said. He had initially planned to buy it, but nie zheng did not ask for money.
“Father, I made the decision to give it to him. It’s just a low-grade product,”nie zheng walked over and said.
“Pa!”The old man gave nie zheng a tight slap. Then, he cursed, “I’m not dead yet. This shop is not up to you, you little bastard!”
“Father?”Nie zheng was at a loss. His father was not like this in the past. He was just a low-grade product. How did it change his father into a completely different person.
“Uncle, what’s Going On?”Hong Yun quickly ran over and pulled the old shopkeeper back. Otherwise, judging from the situation, he would have given nie zheng a beating.
“This customer, we are not selling this child. Although you did not give us the money, you have given us your heart. We will also pay for this loss. However, there is one thing that you have to keep this child for me,”the old shopkeeper said to Jiang Fei.
“Huh? !”Jiang Fei frowned.
“Uncle, what’s so special about this child? Why did you say that you are not selling it?”Hong Yun seemed to be trying to smooth things over.
“This child was deposited by a customer. It does not belong to us. Therefore, we do not have the right to sell it,”the old shopkeeper said.
“But father... didn’t that person receive the money and say that he sold it to us?”Nie zheng interrupted.
“Slap!”The old shopkeeper slapped nie zheng in the face, causing him to spin around on the spot.
“Evil creature, if you don’t speak, no one will take you for a mute!”The old shopkeeper said angrily.
“Oh!”NIE zheng stood aside carefully and did not dare to interrupt anymore.
“Hehe, old shopkeeper, you and I both know the identity of this child. There’s no need to fight this charade, right?”Jiang Fei said with a smile.
“If that’s the case, then let me make it clear. We are not selling this child!”The old shopkeeper said.
“The other young master has already given him to me. Now that he is mine, there’s no point in you mentioning whether or not to sell him anymore,”Jiang Fei said with a smile.
“Hmph, I’m not dead yet. That Bastard can’t make the decision. I Won’t sell this child if I say so!”The old shopkeeper said very strongly.
“Uncle, what’s wrong with you? Why do you insist on not selling this child? Why Don’t you sell him on account of me? The price is negotiable. I’ll settle it for you, okay?”Hong Yun wanted to mediate the situation in the middle.
“Girl, there are some things you don’t understand. Don’t get involved in this muddy water!”The old shopkeeper said to Hong Yun.
“This...”Hong Yun was a little embarrassed by the old shopkeeper’s words. Before this, the old shopkeeper had always treated her as his own daughter. He had never rejected her. Who would have thought that today, for the sake of this child.., not only did he beat up nie zheng, but he also rejected her.
“Old shopkeeper, then let me be clear. Since this child has fallen into my hands, I will never let go again!”Jiang Fei laughed.
“You! Do you still want to use force? This is the beast gathering! This is not a place for you to behave atrociously!”The old man was also angry. He picked up the drumstick at the side and struck the gong under the eaves.
“Clang, Clang, Clang...”following the sound of the gong, not only were the surrounding shops alarmed, but the dragon race guarding the beast gathering in the distance was also alarmed.
Unlike the other four great planets, the Ten Thousand Beast Market of this guardian star was personally guarded by the dragon race. Therefore, with the sound of a gong, a silver light flashed, and the dragon race stood on the spot.
“Who is the person who is ringing the gong?”The dragon race asked.
“Sir, it is this little old man who is ringing the gong!”The old shopkeeper replied.
“Why are you ringing the gong?”The Dragon Race asked.
“Because this person wants to buy and sell forcefully in the shop and break the rules of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gathering!”The old shopkeeper said.
“Oh? !”The dragon turned to look at Jiang Fei.
At this moment, Jiang Fei was also sizing him up. The dragon in front of him was a middle-aged man. His strength was about the beginner-level immortal lord level. Among the dragon race that guarded the ten thousand beasts gathering, he was probably the strongest.
“How dare you! How dare you...”after hearing the old shopkeeper’s words, the dragon race wanted to scold Jiang Fei. However, before he could finish his sentence, he could feel the pure dragon aura from Jiang Fei’s body.
“Tell me, what exactly is going on?”The dragon race immediately changed his words. Although he did not know Jiang Fei’s identity, he could confirm that the person in front of him was one of his own race!
The dragon race had always been unreasonable. In other words, they were unreasonable. Now, on one side was an old man who set up a stall, and on the other side was a brother from the same race, naturally, the Dragon who was guarding the ten thousand beasts gathering spoke up for Jiang Fei.
“This child was given to me by his young manager. Now that the old manager has returned, he wants to return,”Jiang Fei said honestly.
Actually, this matter made sense no matter how one put it. The Old Man’s reason was that we had just given this child to you. Now that I have regretted not giving it to you, you have to return it to me. On Jiang Fei’s side, the reason was.., you have already given this child to me. His ownership rights are already mine. It is only natural that I do not return it.
Even if Jiang Fei used the laws of his era to look at this matter, the old man’s request was reasonable. Jiang Fei’s request was legal.
However, when it came to the dragon race, there was nothing to be bothered about.
“Old Man, you have already given this child away. Do you still want it back? Do you still have any integrity? If you don’t have any integrity, what business do you still have? I can not tolerate someone ruining the reputation of our thousand beast gathering!”The Dragon Race said, he immediately sent a string of accusations over, and in the end, he even threatened the old man. If they still wanted this child, then their slave shop would not be opened!
“Sir, you can not do this...”the old man was a little dumbfounded. In this era, there were no laws, so it was normal to ask for the things that were given to people back. However, the dragon before him suddenly changed his words, this caught him somewhat unprepared.
“Cut the crap! Do you still want this child?”The dragon asked.
“This...”the old man hesitated. This child’s identity was not ordinary, so he indeed had to get it back. However, the problem was that this small shop was a business that they, father and son, relied on to survive. If it was closed.., they, father and son, did not have the support of the clan behind them, so they could only be reduced to itinerant cultivators. At that time, the situation of survival would become very difficult.
