Chapter 129 - Are You Brave?
Xie Qiao was obligated to have five Junior Brothers just like that…
However, she had decisively chosen to hide her name to prevent her Junior Brothers from stirring trouble with her for her status.
Her Junior Brothers knew their Senior Sister had the family name of Mo. She was an unfathomable expert who loved to travel through mountains and rivers. She had never shown herself. Her name was Mo Chusheng!
Her name had the same sound of “being silent”. She dared not reveal that she was only 16 this year, worried that those Junior Brothers would force her to leave the sect.
Xie Qiao had said that she cared nothing about worldly materials and did not want any property under her. Thus, she had bought a shop in the name of Young Lady Xie…
Why Young Lady Xie?
It was because Young Lady Xie was Mo Chusheng’s junior niece.
It was too complicated—she was her own junior niece…
She was very helpless. Why was she so young and made the people unyielding?
Xie Qiao said after putting the thing away, “You’ll have to be careful with your mouth when you work for me here. Otherwise, I’m afraid you might have filthy things lingering around you, which is bad for your health. Got it?”
Chang Tong looked around 50 years old and seemed mature. However, he looked a little confused when he heard what Xie Qiao said.
However, he thought about it. Master Xiao had said that the owner was an otherworldly expert. Her way of doing was different from ordinary people, so he should not speak and ask more. He then nodded obediently.
“These are the things that my shop will sell,” Xie Qiao said after placing the talismans on the table.
Chang Tong glanced at them and fell into a daze. “Talismans?”
“That’s right, talismans.” Xie Qiao nodded. “You have to memorize them. Each has different patterns. These are for protection, 20 silver notes each. These talismans for wealth would be 50 silver notes each, Love Talisman would be 100 silver notes each, same for those that banish ghouls…”
Xie Qiao introduced them one by one.
Chang Tong gulped. Although he had come prepared, he was still shocked to see so many complicated talismans before him.
Nonetheless, it was better than selling coffins.
It made sense. He had never heard of any experts selling coffins.
“What else?” Although Chang Tong realized these things were hard to sell, he did not believe it would be this hard.
Xie Qiao thought about it. Indeed, there were more. “There are also some Dharmic instruments that have been consecrated. There aren’t many of them, but I’ll make and send more when I have the time in the future. Also, we accept people who send their items to be consecrated. The ceremony costs 10 taels of silvers each.”
Chang Tong’s eyelids twitched.
He had heard that the owner was called Mo Chuseng. She did not even have a Dharma name.
Master Xiao had said that the owner was powerful, and she was otherworldly. However… the Imperial City had never heard of such a master!?
The items might not be able to sell since they were from a master who was not famous.
However, the location of the shop was amazing. Perhaps there would be some curious people checking it out, and they might have sheer luck. It could barely maintain the expenses…
The shopkeeper sighed. He thought he had a great burden on him. Since the owner was an expert, she might not know a lot about foreign businesses.
Although that was the case, he could not waste the trust he had in his master and the “expert boss”.
He would work hard!
“Don’t worry, Boss. Your items definitely won’t be covered in dust. This humble one will do my best!” the shopkeeper said immediately.
Xie Qiao nodded. “Also… The first floor is for serving customers, and the second floor will be vacant. Don’t let anyone in, especially after hearing the bell rings.”
Chang Tong was confused.
“Oh yeah, are…” Xie Qiao found it hard to say this. “Are you brave?”
Chang Tong was dumbstruck.
