Peerless Alchemist: Useless Sixth Miss

"Hey, over there I sensed a strange energy, it would be useful for martial practitioners. Let's quickly check it out." With his petite paws, Ru Shun pointed at a space on the right. There a thicker layer of dust can be seen from distance, as if they are brown-colored snow in winter. This side of shop is extreme dark and messy. Range of different stone laid scatter across the floor.

The black beast jumped out of her embrace, headed toward a large stone, width of two palm sizes. The stone is unpolished and dull, fl.u.s.ter with rough natural marking making the surface extremely uneven and rough. His tiny paw tapped the solid mass, in eagerness. His front leg circled in causal manner as his glare fixed on the gloomy dark stone.

"You're right, I also sensed a strange energy from it. How bizarre…" Rong Fangsu crunched down to leveled with his sight, her glance swept across the dull-looking stone before landed back on little black beast.

"…I'm impressed you can sense it" contrast to his expressionless Ru Shun actually impressed, for spiritual beast whom processes a keen sense several time sharper than that of human, it's nothing bizarre or peculiar. But this girl is a human with inferior five sense thus the fact that she noticed by itself is impressive.

"Is there anything I can help you?" A clear voice ringed from behind her. Following a trail of voice, her gaze shifted to a tall upright man behind her. The young man dressed in lightly fine robe, his face handsome with his elegant lips curled up into a charming smile. His soft yellow robe intensified that charming appearance. Moreover, his eyes that laid at the young girl in front of him, a trace of warmth can be seen.

A trace of surprise can be seen in Rong Fangsu but it left as fast as it arrived, her express composed unfit a girl of tender age. This cause the young male to be even more interest, he saw her long before her arrival, as she entered the place, without batting an eye to the collection of showy object near counters, their brightness and colour would normally attract many customer to them but not this girl. Amused he decided to wait and observe her, added to that he was astonished that the young girl didn't get angry in slightest as the shopkeeper and assistance ignore her instead she was calm and still as spring water.

"I'm taking this stone and that one. And this book" Rong Fangsu pointed at the large dull stone and semi-polish stone on the other side. She also lifted a dark dusty book up she holding as she said that.

The assistance heard Rong Fangsu speech, strobe over ready to open his mouth to say something but upon seeing the male next to her his manner, change become polite and humble. This change didn't get past her, the young man next to her must be a big shot or young master of this place.

"Young Miss has a good eye: this fine book is only 30 silvers and the stone is 20 silver each!" The assistance said in a flatter tone as he smiled bloom on his face.

"What?" Rong Fangsu was in disbelief. Even though this book is a hidden rare treasure item but according to her this assistance and the shopkeeper is unaware of this. This truth is only known to her and the black beast in her embrace, consider the fact that this book is so filthy dirty with a mass of dust painted all over it. In this shop, its position significant its rarity and located right at the back mean, it's was regard as a low-quality item or worthless trashy object without any real value. Yet it is still sold for 30 silvers? And the two rocks, 20 silver each? Do I look like a fool? It looked just like ordinary roadside rock it's shouldn't cause more than a few copper coins. Dare con me, you will pay!

The assistance of the pawn shop felt contemptuous towards a plain-looking clothed Rong Fangsu. Even though the Sixth Miss Zhang today does not seem like her in the rumors, nonetheless her reputation is still very bad. Feeling a bit disdain in his heart yet none showed on his face, a true businessman. Here, whoever has money calls the shots, and he has also done business with many strong rich individual but in front of him was just a young girl and a trash no less. If he don't swindle her who will he swindle? What kind of fool would he be? And the young master is present, he must show him his ability for his recognition. With full intend of currying a favor with the new owner thus the assistance whole heartily intent swindle the poor girl, raising the price a dozen time higher.

"So the book is 30 silvers and each stone is 20 silvers?" Rong Fangsu repeated the price.

Seeing her reaction, thinking it already a cat in the bag, a smile broke on his face.

Unfazed by ugly swindler scheme in front of her, Rong Fangsu sighed. But the game just begins! "Boss are you trying to swindle me because I'm still young?" Even though in term of appearance she still just a thirteen years old, but she is no clueless fool who haven't seen the world, do you think I'm easily con? Think again.

A few beads of sweat appeared on the assistance's head: this little girl has a good eye! He nervously said, "What are you saying, Miss? This book's quality is indeed the best…"

"At most 5 silvers for the book. And 30 copper coin for two stones" Rong Fangsu interrupted. "Conning people on broad daylight, is your conscience eaten by a dog?" Her voice was monotone but grave.

The assistance was speechless, how come this little girl was so bright? He had wanted to give that incompetent woman a hard time while conning her large sum of money. Big bean-sized drops of sweat appeared on his forehead: "Miss Zhang the price is too low…5 silvers and 30 copper coin is a bit…too much."

"Too much then, 3 silver and 20 copper coins. I glad we agree on something"
