The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Chapter 124 Where the Spirit Stone is, there is love.

The young man thought Yun Yici was just another daydreamer.

In the past, there have been many cultivators with lofty ambitions who, upon accidentally obtaining a rare spirit bird egg, would assume it was a divine phoenix descended from heaven.

They tried to raise the bird exactly like the legendary mythical bird, but in the end, the bird died.

A-Zhao's tone was unpleasant, and Rong Xuan frowned slightly, saying, "Since my junior sister said she wanted to buy it, she must need it. If you have it, sell it to us; if not, just say so, and we can buy it elsewhere."

Even though Xiao Ba looks like a chicken now, Rong Xuan still unconditionally believes in Wen Fuyue and Yun Yici.

Furthermore, in business, harmony brings wealth, and with this young man's attitude, it's no wonder the shop looks like it's about to go out of business.

Yu Suqing never expected that Azhao would speak so rudely to Yun Yici and the other person.

Caught in the middle, she felt awkward and explained to Yun Yici and Rong Xuan, "I'm sorry, Azhao didn't mean to criticize Fellow Daoist Yun."

"He cherishes the spirit bird very much, so he hopes to provide you with practical and useful advice, so that you won't waste spirit stones buying things you don't need."

"Different birds have different preferences; some like to eat spirit fruits, some like the seeds of spirit herbs, and some are carnivorous birds of prey..."

Yun Yici said, "It's alright, Fellow Daoist Yu, I understand what the shopkeeper means."

“Raising birds is like raising people; it requires teaching according to their aptitude. I just happened to be browsing through ancient books, and that's why I asked this question out of curiosity about what clean food is.”

"If this is too much trouble for you, shopkeeper, please pack up all the spirit bird food you have in the shop for me."

Yun Yici originally thought that this shop was hidden away from the bustling city, guessing that this young man must have something extraordinary about him.

Unexpectedly, she didn't get any information out of her. So she decided to stick to the original plan and pack up all the spirit bird food available for sale to take back, so that Xiao Ba could choose the ones she liked.

Next time she'll know what to buy.

Yun Yici's arrogance made Yu Suqing gasp. She stammered, "Fellow Daoist Yun, you really don't need to be like this..."

Azhao stared at Yun Yici for a moment and said, "What you want to buy, I don't have here. Don't waste your spirit stones."

These words made Yu Suqing glance at them sideways.

Yun Yici politely asked, "May I ask what this means?"

Azhao said, "The clean food you want to buy is actually an offering. The ancient four divine beasts are totems of the human race, and in a sense, they are a kind of faith."

"The existing ancient books do not specify in detail which foods are clean. I believe that any offering made by humans with a pure and sincere heart is acceptable."

"But in the last hundred years, the only one recorded is an evil phoenix born in the demon realm, whose offerings consisted of the flesh and blood of pure-blooded demons."

Yun Yici didn't expect Azhao to say these things to her, but these few words were enough.

Want to eat flesh and blood? Don't even think about it.

Children with bad habits should be corrected when they are young, otherwise they might not be able to beat Xiao Ba when they grow up.

She sincerely said, "Thank you so much. Could you please pack up all the bird food from your shop for me?"

Ah Zhao was taken aback by Yun Yici's stubbornness and was speechless.

Ah Zhao: "Didn't you understand what I said at all...?"

Yun Yici: "Where there are spirit stones, there is love. My sincerity in spending money right now is as sincere as the sun and moon."

Yun Yici's twisted logic left A Zhao speechless.

Rong Xuan, however, agreed, saying, "My junior sister is right."

"The flesh and blood of demons are the most filthy things in the world, not as clean as spirit stones."

Yu Suqing stepped forward and grabbed Azhao, afraid that he would act foolishly again and refuse to let the guests in.

She pushed A-Zhao towards the back room, then smiled at Yun Yici and the other person: "Wait a moment, I'll go pack A-Zhao's things and come right back."

"I'll have Ah Zhao give you a discount later."

Yun Yici and Rong Xuan had only been sitting on the chairs in the outer hall for a short while when the birds that roamed freely inside and outside the shop were not afraid of strangers at all, and landed next to Yun Yici, showing great affection.

Yun Yici thought to herself that these birds were probably attracted by the little eight in her sleeve.

Fortunately, Yu Suqing and Yun Yici soon came out of the inner room. The spirit birds that had gathered around Yun Yici were quickly attracted by the aroma of food and flew towards Yu Suqing.

Yu Suqing was carrying a large package, saying that she had given Yun Yici a portion of all the bird food sold at Azhao's shop.

She listed the weight and price of each item in front of Yun Yici.

This large bag originally cost 1,000 spirit stones, but Ah Zhao gave it a discount, charging only 700.

Yun Yici swiftly paid the money and received the goods before Rong Xuan could.

Seeing that the transaction was completed smoothly, Rong Xuan said to Yun Yici, "Junior sister, it's still early. Why don't we go and explore other parts of the city and try some local delicacies?"

Yun Yici thought that Rong Xuan had kindly accompanied her into the city, and she could also pack some food to take back for Wen Fuyue and Ning Tinglan to try, so she nodded in agreement.

Rong Xuan then invited Yu Suqing and the other person, saying, "My junior sister and I are only staying in Qishan City for one day. It is fate that we met. If you don't mind, please come along."

Ah Zhao, without looking up and with a sour face, was doing the bookkeeping: "No need."

Yu Suqing explained, "He doesn't like going out; usually, it's just regular customers who come here..."

"The road here is a bit winding, let me take you out."

Yu Suqing led Yun Yici and the other out of Azhao's small shop, and then led them through the winding alleys and lanes to the main street where they had come from.

With a smile, Yu Suqing told Yun Yici and the other person the direction of the largest restaurant in the city, and then made a promise: "I have something to do today, but I will treat you to a meal next time we meet."

Having said what she needed to say, the girl in the green dress waved goodbye to Yun Yici in a friendly manner.

The three went their separate ways.

Yu Suqing watched Yun Yici and the other person disappear into the crowd, then turned and left as well. Soon after, her figure vanished into the shadows.

Having successfully facilitated a business deal for Ah Zhao today, Yu Suqing's steps were light and quick.

Unexpectedly, she felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck as soon as she walked through a familiar alley.

The girl fell to the ground in terror. Before the light in her vision went out completely, she only had time to see the man's malicious face.

"Junior sister, what's wrong?" Rong Xuan asked with concern.

He and Yun Yici had only taken a few steps when Yun Yici suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Yun Yici turned her head and glanced at the alley Yu Suqing had entered, frowning as she said, "I have a bad feeling."

She was extremely sensitive to the scent of the wind. Just now, Yu Suqing had entered the alleyway, and there seemed to be a chilling breeze blowing out, carrying with it a sense of fear.

Before Rong Xuan could answer, Yun Yici made a decisive decision to turn back.

She accelerated to her maximum speed and rushed back to the alley they had just come out of in just a few breaths.
