He rubbed his hands together in embarrassment. “There, there. No need for you to get upset, girl. I didn’t stalk you on purpose. I just felt guilty for earning the 10,000 silver taels. Although I am short of money, that doesn’t mean I can bully a young girl like you against my conscience, right?”

Chu Liuyue raised an eyebrow. “There simply is no need for you to follow me because of this. To me, that red stone is worth 10,000 silver taels.” It was more than worth it; she bought it for a great price!

The old man didn’t believe her as he shook his hand. “Hey, you don’t have to be so polite, girl. I’ve seen my share of red stones, around 90,000 to 100,000 of them. However, none of them are worth 10,000 taels. How about this? I give you something else as compensation?”

Chu Liuyue shook her head. “I’m not interested.”

The old man looked crestfallen. This girl was a handful.

“What was it that you actually want to ask? You might as well spit it out.”

He looked at the calm Chu Liuyue. Her sparkling dark eyes had already read his mind, so he stopped pretending to be embarrassed. “Actually I wanted to know who your master is.”

Although there was no fluctuation of force from her body, he could tell that those few movements definitely originated from one or more profound martial art techniques.

He had been leading a boring life all these years. It would be great if he could spar with the expert!

Chu Liuyue squinted her eyes. “What do I have to gain by telling you?”

The old man scratched his head in annoyance. He was penniless, and she didn’t look like she was in a shortage of money either. He finally patted his head after a long time and took out a jade pendant. “Why don’t we use this to trade? It’s still worth something.”

Chu Liuyue looked at his hand, and her eyes lit up briefly.

It was a jade pendant with the carving of the Xuan symbol. From the looks of it, the pendant with the Xuan symbol wasn’t of inferior quality. It was definitely worth more than 10,000 taels! How could he offer it to her so casually?

“Really?”

“Of course.” Sensing that his proposition somewhat moved her, the old man advanced a few steps and shoved the jade pendant into her hand. “An old man like me has no use for this thing. Since you like it, it’s yours.”

After a moment’s thought, Chu Liuyue accepted the pendant. She gladly accepted it since he dared to give it to her. “Fine. I’ll be honest with you. I don’t have a master,” declared Chu Liuyue openly.

The old man was so excited and full of anticipation that he instantly froze.

“What? No master? How can this be? Don’t tell me you actually mastered the skills on your own?”

Chu Liuyue coughed. She really had no explanation. “It’s true. I don’t have a master.”

The old man caught her wrist in disbelief. “Damn, girl. You better tell me the truth” He suddenly paused halfway through his words. As he stared at Chu Liuyue, his face turned a few shades darker and gradually showed shock. “You you”

Chu Liuyue’s eyebrows knitted tightly together, and she intended to break away.

“ You’re that girl from the Chu family?”

Chu Liuyue froze. He could actually tell who she was without looking at her face? She had no recollection of such a person.

The old man grew incredulous at her silence. “You’re really Chu Liuyue, but I thought your Yuan meridian”

Chu Liuyue let out a sigh of relief, and she removed her bamboo hat. “Yes, I am Chu Liuyue. You are?”

The old man was startled for a moment when he saw the beautiful face before him. “I can’t believe you’ve grown so big. But it shouldn’t be your Yuan meridian was” He suddenly paused, at a loss as to what he should say.
