Chapter 10 Luo Qing Shuang

“First-grade, high-level Green Rain Sword, weigh ten kilograms, cost 150 gold coins.”

“First-grade, high-level Ghost Path Saber, weigh thirty kilograms, cost 380 gold coins.”

“Second-grade, low-level Stone Courage Spear, weigh twenty kilograms, cost 1200 gold coins.”

“Second-grade, low-level Soul Seizing Hook Sword, weigh twenty-two kilograms, cost 1800 gold coins.”

……

Ling Xiao opened his eyes wide looking at these weapons. They all look extraordinary, but unfortunately, he still can’t afford them and couldn’t help shaking his head.

The old man grew tense; don’t tell me this young master is still not satisfied with what he sees.

“Young Master, my location has the best weapons in all of Falling Stone City. These are refined by our city’s most famous forging master, Li Lao. I’m confident in saying that if you can’t find a suitable weapon here, you will not be able to find it anywhere else.”

What he said was the truth. Li Lao is Falling Stone City’s sole third-rank, low-rank forging master. He is also the only one in Falling Stone City whole can forge second-grade, high-level weapons.

“I’m aware of everything you said, but…I’m looking for a third-grade xuan weapon. I wonder if your shop carries any.” Ling Xiao said with an expression of pity.

Weapons are divided into five broad categories: common, xuan, spirit, saint, and divine. First and second-grade weapons are cla.s.sified as common weapons, third and fourth-grade weapons are xuan weapons, fifth and sixth-grade are spirit armaments, seventh and eighth-grade are saint armaments, and ninth and tenth-grade are divine armaments.

Common weapons can be found anywhere on the continent, but xuan weapons are extremely rare. It is even more unlikely to find in a remote and barren place like Falling Stone City. A xuan weapon could even be a major family clan’s inherited treasure, while spirit armaments can only be found in those powerful sects. Saint and divine armaments are near mythical existences.

“Xuan weapon…this…my store does not have. You have to understand that Li Lao had only forged three xuan weapons in his life; one each for the Ling and Li Family, and the last one being Li Lao’s proudest creation. Of course, it’s incredibly precious. I think Young Master will not be disappointed.” The old man said with a hint of regret.

“That being the case, I’ll just casually pick something outside; I can use it for chopping firewood anyways.” Ling Xiao said rather shamelessly.

These words made the honest old man shake in place. “Which family is this young master from? He’s buying a xuan weapon to cut firewood.  If the elders from the major families hear about this, all of them will probably vomit blood.”

Back in the storefront, Ling Xiao picked up the first-grade, intermediate-level Colossal Dragon Sword.

“Yu Xi, you help me pay first, I promise I’ll pay you back real soon.” Ling Xiao lowered his voice and said to Bai Yu Xi.

Previously, Ling Xiao had taken five hundred gold coins from Li Guang Yin and gave it all to Bai Yu Xi to pay for her mother’s funeral. Bai Yu Xi still had 495 gold coins remaining and originally planned on giving it to Ling Xiao, but Ling Xiao did not feel right to take her money so he rejected.

But to buy a weapon, he didn’t have a choice but to ask Bai Yu Xi for a loan, making Ling Xiao extremely embarra.s.sed.

Bai Yu Xi did not think there was anything inappropriate; she has already considered the money to be the Young Master. This was entirely reasonable.

Bai Yu Xi paid the money, and Ling Xiao took the giant sword. The old man also gifted a scabbard to Ling Xiao, stating that it was a buy-one-get-one-free deal.

“Yu Xi, thank you for earlier. Young Master will quickly return the money to you.” Ling Xiao emphasized again. Even though this was his first time borrowing money from a woman, he was still embarra.s.sed to death.

“No, no need to thank me. This is as it should be.” Bai Yu Xi repeated waved her hands and said. She was used to Ling Xiao’s kindness and felt that her young master was more caring than everyone else, much better than the other repulsive men who just want to own her. Not only will Young Master not do this, but he had also saved her. That’s why she was dead set on following Ling Xiao.

“No way, if I said I’ll pay you back, then I’ll pay you back. Let’s go. I’ll buy the present I owe you right now.” Ling Xiao pinched Bai Yu Xi’s nose and took the lead.

Bai Yu Xi saw Ling Xiao’s confident figure from behind and reached out to feel her nose, secretly smiling as she quickly ran to catch up.

Ling Xiao arrived at a tailor’s shop and ordered three sets of clothes for Bai Yu Xi, two sets for his mother, and two sets for his father. The entire process was extremely efficient; the order totaled only five gold coins and only needed to wait four hours until they were ready for pick-up.

Ling Xiao made a deposit and then brought Bai Yu Xi to a restaurant for a big meal. It’s not that there was a problem with eating at home every day, but occasionally eating outside also has its distinctive appeal.

Fragrant Taste Restaurant is Falling Stone City’s most famous restaurant. Not only is it the city’s largest restaurant, but it’s also the most expensive; eating at the establishment is considered a status symbol.

Ling Xiao swaggered in with Bai Yu Xi.

Their appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people.

“Hey, isn’t that Ling Family’s “Cripple”? He showed up here of all places.” A young master from a small family turned aside to say to his friend.

That friend is also a small family’s young master. He made a gesture to keep quiet and said, “Lower your voice, or he’ll hear you.”

“What’s there to be afraid of? He’s just Ling Family’s “Cripple.” Even if I offend him, Ling Family probably won’t stand up for him.” The first young master said.

His friend lowered his voice. “Don’t you know about the incident half a month ago where Li Family’s Li Guang Yin was beaten by Ling Xiao?

“What? Although Young Master Li was the weakest of the Three Big Young Thugs, his strength is nothing to sneeze at. Could it be that this “Cripple” can cultivate xuan strength again?”

“I’m afraid that’s the case. There were a lot of people that witness Ling Xiao beat up Li Guang Yin and his gang miserably.”

Ling Xiao didn’t pay attention to the strange gaze of the diners, leading Bai Yu Xi to the second floor and then sitting down at a table to the side.

This is the first time Bai Yu Xi had come to such a fancy establishment. She timidly pulled on the corner of Ling Xiao’s clothes all the way up.

“Relax a little. We are all human; it’s not like they will eat you. It’s just the prices are a bit more pricey. There’s nothing astonis.h.i.+ng about it.” Ling Xiao comforted Bai Yu Xi.

Bai Yu Xi looked at Ling Xiao’s encouraging expression, nodded her head and then gradually relaxed her mind.

Ling Xiao ordered three small side dishes and a pot of wine. Just these few items cost Ling Xiao five gold coins; this is equivalent to a commoner’s annual expenditure. However, Ling Xiao did not feel any heartache; he’ll be able to make a lot of money soon, so these few gold coins are nothing.

Ling Xiao only had two drinks and a bit of a side dish when a loud disturbance was heard coming from downstairs.

Soon, the sound of footsteps was heard coming up the stairs.

Only three people came up; two men and one woman.

The one who drew the most attention was the girl in the middle. She is around seventeen years old, and her outstanding beauty is not inferior to Bai Yu Xi. However, she lacked Bai Yu Xi’s affable quality, instead possessed an icy demeanor that made her unapproachable. The collar of her fiery red dress was inlaid with a gold trim that made it look especially dazzling and grand. A long violet whip was loosely held in her delicate hand, and her lithe gait gave her an elegant bearing.

To the right of the girl is a tall, strong man who gave off an unshakeable feeling. His upper arms were bare, exposing thick and solid muscles with veins bulging like a malevolent python. A wolf fang mace is firmly held in his hand, bristling with huge spikes that cause people to tremble with fear.

To the left of the girl is a man who somewhat resemble Li Guang Yin. His appearance is not very outstanding, but he was impeccably dressed and gave off an air of extravagance. His viper-like eyes make people not dare to look straight at it, and the slender sword in his hand emanated a blinding, glittering light; it was clearly not a normal sword.

This was the first time Ling Xiao have met this girl, yet he still has a feeling of déjà vu. His impression is not very clear, so he continued drinking after casting a glance.

The girl looked around as if she’s trying to find a table, suddenly looking over at Ling Xiao’s direction. She pointed at Ling Xiao’s table and said to the waiter, “I want that table. Make them leave.”

The waiter immediately bowed and responded, “Yes Miss Luo. I’ll make them leave.”

The waiter arrived in front of Ling Xiao and said, “I apologize for the inconvenience. Could you please move to another table; Miss Luo reserved this table.”

Ling Xiao responded in a bad mood. “Why do we have to leave? Is this the way your restaurant treats its patrons?”

“Young Master, you can clearly see that she’s Luo Family’s young lady. Things won’t end well for you if you provoke her.” The waiter explained.

Who doesn’t give face to Falling Stone City’s three major families? The girl at present is the granddaughter of the Luo Family’s patriarch, Luo Qing Shuang, and she is doted on by the old man. At such a young age, she is already an intermediate-level xuan pract.i.tioner. This kind of innate talent is also relatively rare in Falling Stone City.

“What about Luo Family? I’m from the Ling Family. You better leave quickly; don’t disturb me while I’m eating.” Ling Xiao no longer paid to the matter. As far as this kind of unreasonable requests is concerned, he will adamantly refuse.

“You…” Before the waiter could say anything, he was interrupted.

“Isn’t this Ling Family’s Young Master Ling Xiao? Who could have thought that all three of our families will be here today? Why don’t we take this opportunity to sit together?” At this time, the man that resembled Li Guang Yin said. He is Li Guang Yin’s older brother, Li Guang Han.

“Who are you to act like you know me? I don’t know who you are, but don’t disturb this young master from drinking. There are plenty of open tables; sit somewhere else if you want to eat.” Ling Xiao said impatiently. It’s annoying that these flies were making so much noise when he’s trying to eat.

As Ling Xiao finished speaking, Li Guang Han’s face darkened, appearing as if he was going to burst out in a fit of rage.

At this time, the girl in the red dress said, “You are Ling Xiao?”

“That’s me. And what’s your name, pretty lady? You look familiar.” Ling Xiao had a drink and said. Ling Xiao had been a playboy in his previous life, and can’t refrain from flirting with any beautiful woman that he meets.

“Humph! I thought you looked familiar. We have indeed met before.” The girl gave a cold snort.

Ling Xiao looked the girl up and down and said, “It doesn’t seem like anything happened between the two of us. Do you have to look at me with such a dark expression?”

“Something did happen between the two of us.” The girl replied curtly. The violet whip flicked in her hands and suddenly attacked towards Ling Xiao like a snake.

“Holy s.h.i.+t, do you want to kill me?” Ling Xiao yelled as he shot out of his seat.

“Pa.” The chair that Ling Xiao previously sat at was smashed to pieces by the violet whip.

“Young Master!” To the side, Biao Yu Xi screamed in alarm.

Ling Xiao‘s figure disappeared from the dining table as he said to the girl. “Hey, there’s something wrong with your head. Even if I didn’t yield this table to you, it’s still not worth resorting to violence. You have no cla.s.s.”

“Filthy mouth,” the girl cursed as the violet whip swept toward Ling Xiao’s waist again. The speed increased again compared to before.

This girl was too focused on getting to Ling Xiao and completely forgot that there are other people close by.

However, Ling Xiao did not forget that the whip will fall on Bai Yu Xi if he evades. He cannot evade, and he also cannot parry.
