Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 234

Although the clothes they wore didn’t consume much demon power, but there were ready-made clothes, why not buy them?

Xu Shou said, “The money hasn’t arrived yet, what are you in a hurry for?”

Gu Jialing stole dozens of taels of silver before, but had almost used them up eating all the way, yet the momentum of spending wasn’t lost, he said, “We can go choose first, and when we get the silver, we can buy it directly. Otherwise, what will we be doing these three days?”

The rainstorm came and went quickly, and the next morning, the Qingshi street was washed clean by the heavy rain, and the weather was cooler, just right for going out.

Gu Jialing asked the innkeeper which was the best silk and satin store in the city, so he and Su Miaomiao led the way.

Before they reached the store, Su Miaomiao found a jewelry store, left Gu Jialing and walked there.

Fortunately, he was also interested in jewelry, so he continued to follow.

Xu Shou looked at the Taoist master next to him.

Xie Jingyuan still had that clear and cold expression, as if he didn’t care about everything around him, and seemed to be full of patience for everything.

Seeing Su Miaomiao and Gu Jialing’s outstanding looks and well-dressed clothes, the storekeeper, thinking that a rich customer was coming, displayed all kinds of good products with a smile on his face.

Gu Jialing liked sapphires, but Su Miaomiao liked almost everything.

“You two, do you want to wrap these up?” The shopkeeper blushed with excitement.

Just as Su Miaomiao was about to nod, Xu Shou coughed behind her.

Su Miaomiao thought of the money, and said helplessly to the storekeeper, “We have no money now, but we can buy it in three days, is that okay?”

The storekeeper’s smile froze.

There were also two rich ladies in the store, with their own maids.

Originally, the store keeper was entertaining them warmly, but because Su Miaomiao and Gu Jialing seemed richer, he walked away, which made the two girls very unhappy.

So when Su Miaomiao said that she had no money, the rich ladies looked at each other and burst out laughing. They walked over there and took out the jewelry that Su Miaomiao liked.

Su Miaomiao reached out to snatch the jewelry back, and said unhappily, “This is what I want to buy.”

Miss Fu said, “Then why don’t you pay for them? Storekeeper, tell me, who are you selling this jewelry to?”

Of course he wanted to collect the money, but before he could open his mouth, a gold ingot suddenly flew from the door onto the counter.

The storekeeper raised his head in shock, and Su Miaomiao and others also looked toward the door.

Xiao Heng, who was dressed in a white Taoist robe, stepped in, with a handsome face and a dignified demeanor. With his arrival, the inside of the store seemed to be somewhat brighter.

The two rich ladies subconsciously looked at Xie Jingyuan.

Xie Jingyuan’s appearance was even more eye-catching than Xiao Heng’s, but it was a pity that he had the attitude of a Taoist who rejected others thousands of miles away. When everyone saw him, they were in awe.

Xiao Heng was different, he had a gentle expression. He looked more like a son of a noble family, and it was easier to arouse the love of young girls.

“I’m sorry, my friend saw these first, please excuse me, young ladies,” Xiao Heng walked to Su Miaomiao and said to the two young ladies.

The ladies blushed, saluted shyly, returned to their original place, and kept a distance to watch.

Xiao Heng smiled at Su Miaomiao, and said to Xie Jingyuan, “What a coincidence, Brother Xie, are you here to shop too?”

Xie Jingyuan nodded.

Xu Shou was dressed like a guard. Xiao Heng ignored him, and cupped his hands toward Gu Jialing and Su Miaomiao, “Yesterday, I was in too much of a hurry, so I haven’t asked your names yet.”

Gu Jialing received Xu Shou’s gesture, smiled, and introduced himself, “My name is Su Jialing, and this is my younger sister.”

Since they wanted to play brother and sister, of course they needed a surname.

Xiao Heng saluted, “So it’s Young Master Su, Miss Su.”

Gu Jialing returned the salute in a dignified manner, but Su Miaomiao just stood beside him, looking at Xiao Heng curiously.

The Taoist master repeatedly assured her that he was better than Xiao Heng, so Su Miaomiao was not afraid of him.

Facing her beautiful eyes, Xiao Heng smiled even more tenderly, “Who are you two to Brother Xie?”

After Gu Jialing told her the planned story, Xiao Heng said, “It turns out that the fox fur belongs to Mr. Su and Miss Su. If so, don’t I owe you sixty thousand taels?”

Hearing money, Gu Jialing smiled even brighter.

Xiao Heng looked at the jewelry on the counter, and said to Su Miaomiao, “The fox fur is extremely precious. Thanks to your willingness to sell it to me, these jewelry can be considered as a gift from me.”

Su Miaomiao’s eyes lit up, but Xie Jingyuan said, “We sell, and you pay money, so there is no need to spend any more.”

“It’s a little bit of thoughtfulness, Brother Xie is too out of touch to say that.”

As he said that, he picked up a hairpin studded with rubies on the counter, handed it to Su Miaomiao, and said, “Young lady, you have good eyes, this hairpin is really suitable for you.”

Su Miaomiao looked at the hairpin and sniffed at the same time, and then looked at Xiao Heng, her gaze became a little fond.

Xie Jingyuan asked Xu Shou via voice transmission, “What kind of smell does Xiao Heng have?”

Xu Shou had already smelled it, and replied to him, “There is a smell of a tree.”

“What tree?”

“Jichimu wood.”

Xie Jingyuan: “…”

Su Miaomiao asked him for a Babu bed as a gift, and asked for it to be made of Jichimu wood, because she liked it.

When he was communicating with Xu Shou, Su Miaomiao and Gu Jialing had already happily accepted the gifts from Xiao Heng.

Su Miaomiao immediately put the hairpin on her head.

“There are many good places in the city, how about I take you there?” Xiao Heng said politely.

Gu Jialing readily agreed.

Xiao Heng was very good at receiving people. He could talk to Gu Jialing and buy things that Su Miaomiao liked at any time. It didn’t take long for Xu Shou to hold a bunch of things in his arms—after all, the character he played was the rich siblings’ guard.
