Chapter 496 Stopped in the Middle of the Night, Teleportation Talisman Here

Upon seeing the old man appear, Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin quickly shielded Wenwen in the middle.

Wenwen was used to her brothers' behavior. Even though she had confided in them and her cultivation was higher than theirs, they still instinctively protected her when something happened.

It's probably a habit that's hard to break.

"May I ask, senior, what brings you to stop us brothers in the middle of the night?"

Wen Chengjian frowned and asked in a loud voice.

They couldn't fathom this person's cultivation level; it was probably far beyond their reach. However, in Ningqian City, after paying the entrance fee and spending the night in the city, their personal safety was guaranteed. They weren't afraid of being robbed or killed within the city, but once they left, things were uncertain.

It's best not to provoke this person, and it's best to find out their purpose.

Therefore, Wen Chengjian decided to first sound out the other party's opinion.

"Senior, have we met before?"

"No, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

The old man leisurely walked up to the siblings. As he approached, Wenwen and the others tensed up, ready to strike at any moment.

Noticing their expressions, the old man smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I don't eat people, so what are you afraid of? This is no fun!"

Upon hearing this, Wenwen's mental search engine finally found a match.

This is the old man from the upstairs private room who was competing with her for the teleportation talisman at the auction!

"Senior, do you want that top-tier teleportation talisman?"

After saying that, Wenwen presented the teleportation talisman with both hands, "Senior, here is the teleportation talisman, please spare us three brothers!"

Don't call her a coward or a weakling. When faced with strength, the weaker party must quickly recognize the facts and cherish their life!

A wise person knows when to yield, and Wenwen took the initiative, hoping that her initiative would give everyone a chance to survive.

"Oh! You...you child..."

The old man glanced at the transfer talisman in Wenwen's hand, then turned and took a few deep breaths. "I'm here to make an exchange, not to rob you, not to rob you. You child, really, you've misunderstood me..."

Huh? A misunderstanding?

Wenwen and her two siblings were speechless...

So you're quite skilled; you say it's a misunderstanding, and they can't refute it, they can only accept it.

Noticing the old man's tone and attitude, Wenwen seemed to understand.

She thought she had been robbed, that she was outmatched and would lose everything, and that she would have to accept her bad luck. But to her surprise, things took an unexpected turn; the other party was there to make an exchange. Wenwen thought to herself, "It's fine if I don't lose money."

After thinking it over, she considered it carefully and asked, "...Senior, what do you intend to exchange it for?"

Upon hearing this, the old man's face immediately lit up with a smile. "Young friend, what would you like to exchange for?"

Uh?

Wenwen...

What's going on? Why is this question being thrown back at us again?

You're the senior, shouldn't you be the one to make the decisions? Does she have some other choice?

Since the other party has given her a chance, shouldn't she take advantage of it? She shouldn't waste the old woman's good intentions!

"Senior, do you have any lower-level teleportation talismans, or even lower-level ones?"

Wenwen reluctantly brought it up, and her two older brothers beside her were worried for her.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Wenwen finished speaking, the old man said the same thing again.

"Young fellow Daoists, may I have a word with you in private?"

The old man pointed to a house not far away, "Why don't you come and sit at my house for a while?"

Good heavens! Have you ever seen an elderly person inviting someone into their home in the middle of the night? It's terrifying to hear about, but if the other person is more powerful than you and is being sincere, should you go or not?

Wenwen and her brothers exchanged glances; they were still too weak, and they had no choice but to agree.

Damn it, when did I get stronger? Now I can just decide not to go!

With a hint of anger, Wenwen pulled her two older brothers along and walked in the direction the old man had pointed.

Upon entering the courtyard, the old man first walked to a stone table in the yard.

"Come on, you guys, come sit down, sit down."

The old man chuckled and joked, "Try the plain water here!"

"Puch-"

Wenwen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It's ridiculous. Plain water is plain water. Why do we have to make people taste it? Do we have to write a 200-word review after tasting it?

Weird!

It's incredibly surprising!

Could it be that an old man with such high cultivation level also has a childlike heart that never sleeps?

Could there be an old rascal in the celestial realm?

"Young lady, don't laugh yet. You can laugh after you've tasted it!" the old man said.

Given their significantly higher level of cultivation, it's quite normal that they could see through her gender.

Seeing that the three siblings were only looking and not drinking, the old man couldn't help but glare at them, "Aren't you being a little too cautious?"

He sighed and then said, "I am a rogue cultivator who has lived in Ningqian City for decades. I am known as Master Huida. It is understandable that you youngsters do not recognize me."

"But it's a bit much to misunderstand me like this! Oh, it's not poisoned, drink it without worry! I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

Even with Master Huida's words, the three siblings still dared not drink.

Wen Chengbin asked cautiously, "Senior Master Huida, may I ask how many spirit stones a cup of plain water costs?"

Wen Chengjian chimed in, "Senior Master, we've spent all our spirit stones at the auction. We really don't have any left."

After hearing her two older brothers speak, Wenwen continued, "Senior, these cups of water aren't cheap, are they? If I drink them, can't I exchange them for other things?"

Upon hearing these words, Master Huida was instantly left speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

Having cultivated for so long, he had encountered countless cultivators, ranging from the exceptionally intelligent and the kind-hearted to the foolish and greedy, the murderous and arrogant. However, this was the first time he had met such a blatant brother and sister who talked about spirit stones all the time, were so stingy, so in sync, and so wary.

how to say?

He seemed to have developed a strong interest in the siblings; perhaps he had lived too long and was getting bored, wanting to find something to do, or perhaps he had suddenly been struck by kindness...

In short, Master Huida thought a lot for a moment. Overwhelmed by impulse, a bunch of talismans appeared on the stone table with a clatter.

Hui Da stopped when he had piled up so much that it was about to fill the entire stone table.

"Hey, hey, hey, we have all kinds of talismans, high, medium, and low quality. Take your pick, is that alright?"

Senior Huida glanced at the siblings a few times and said, "Hmph! You little brats are judging an old man by your own standards. You kids are too narrow-minded and still have a lot to learn!"

"I just wanted to learn the runes of that top-tier teleportation talisman. Once I mastered it, I would repay you twofold. But who would have thought that you lot... Hmph, you're infuriating!"

Seeing that Senior Huida was about to lose his temper, the siblings exchanged glances and instantly reached a consensus on how to appease him.
