Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!-Chapter 988 - 291: [Granny Yu] (6600)_2

The words were incredibly arrogant and rude, yet Chen Yan didn’t become angry. He clasped his hands, smiled, even with a few traces of helplessness and annoyance in his smile, he said with a bitter smile, "Pardon me, farewell."

After speaking, he turned and left.

The burly man behind, however, snorted coldly with his nose.

Chen Yan merely smiled, there was nothing to be angry about.

— Why bother with someone who’s going to die?

`

Sure enough, after Chen Yan left, he deliberately went to the edge of the market to the entrance of a shop.

This shop sold spices made from various spiritual herbs, and he pretended to stand there to rest his feet.

The shop also offered cheap beverages, tea made with spices to refresh the mind. Chen Yan bought a bowl and stood there sipping slowly.

His eyes scanned the market.

Sure enough, after a while, Chen Yan saw that the burly man who bought the dagger was swaggering towards the market entrance with a proud stride.

And this guy clearly had not noticed, there were already four or five people stealthily following his front, back, and sides.

After the burly man left, the four or five people visibly sped up and followed him out...

Chen Yan watched and sighed inwardly.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind, from the shopkeeper of this spice shop — an elderly, frail-looking granny.

The old lady sighed leisurely, "Don’t look, don’t look, while out and about, don’t invite trouble."

Chen Yan’s heart tightened!

This shopkeeper old lady actually noticed where his gaze was directed?

He pretended to be dazed, turned his head to look at the old lady, and laughed, "Is the shopkeeper speaking to me? What did you just say? I was momentarily distracted and didn’t hear clearly."

The old lady’s face was full of wrinkles, her eyes cloudy, she shook her head and said, "The guest is a careful and cautious young person. Relax, drink tea here, stand at my shop entrance, those people won’t come to cause trouble."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan could hardly keep his expression in check, but he suppressed his emotions and lowered his voice to say, "Shopkeeper..."

The old lady shook her head, slowly walked forward, picked up a large teapot, and refilled half a bowl for Chen Yan.

"Young man, are you from the Joyful Sect?"

Chen Yan took a deep breath!

"Don’t panic, don’t panic." The old lady smiled, "I recognize those boots on your feet, they are issued to the Outer Disciples of the Joyful Sect."

Chen Yan frowned, looked down at his shoes.

After changing into different clothes, he hadn’t changed his shoes.

Originally, cultivators of the Domain Realm wore wide robes with large sleeves, shoes half-hidden under the hem, rarely noticed, so Chen Yan hadn’t changed them.

Unexpectedly, this old lady noticed, and unbelievably could recognize it as equipment from the Joyful Sect.

"This old woman in early years also knew one or two friends from the Joyful Sect, rest assured, I won’t harm you."

After speaking, she reached into her pocket, her hands resembling chicken claws pulled out two round, plump red dates.

"Young man, come, the old woman invites you to eat dates." Her eyes cloudy, though her face was filled with laughter, "Just don’t know if you dare eat them?"

Chen Yan’s heart stirred, after glancing at the old lady, his face suddenly blossomed with a smile, "Never decline the generosity of seniors."

He generously accepted the dates, without hesitation, tossed one into his mouth.

After chewing twice, his eyes squinted with a smile, gave a thumbs-up, "Very sweet!"

As soon as a mouthful of date meat went down, he immediately felt a clear qi rise from his belly, gradually making every part of his body feel comfortable, instantly sweeping away the day’s fatigue.

The old lady seemed even more satisfied, looked at Chen Yan and said with a smile, "Young man, not bad, so young daring to venture out, knowing how to read people—sure enough, disciples of the Joyful Sect, under the Saint, aren’t ordinary."

She bent down, pulled over two small stools from the shop, sat on one, gesturing to the other empty one, looked up at Chen Yan.

Chen Yan immediately understood, sat down beside the old lady.

The old lady reached into her pocket, Chen Yan’s heart moved, he hurriedly pulled out a pack of cigarettes.

Seeing this, the old lady laughed, "Oh, young man, these cigarettes are brought from the outside world?"

Chen Yan smiled faintly, "Friends at the Inspection Bureau brought some rare goods."

The old lady took one, skillfully lit it, took a puff and laughed, "Things from the outside world, rare so rare, that’s why they’re valued, but actually the taste isn’t great, just a novelty. Things have no Primordial Qi..."

Saying that, she looked at Chen Yan, then slowly smiled, "You’re clever, just now didn’t provoke those people, knew to appear weak, extracted yourself, good kid with good instincts avoids trouble while outside."

Chen Yan said softly, "Shopkeeper, those people..."

"Wise not to provoke them, their group has three key fighters, all at the Third Realm. Below the Celestial Human Realm, best not to provoke them.

Of course, those above the Celestial Human Realm wouldn’t buy their stuff, look down on them." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Chen Yan nodded.

"This group has been entrenched here for years, no one manages them, their backing... has someone supporting them." The old lady waved her hand, then looked at Chen Yan, "I saw you bought that pestle earlier, what, got a good deal?"

"Not daring, not much of a deal, just a slight advantage." Chen Yan cautiously replied.

The old lady chuckled, "Rest assured, I, the old woman, won’t covet your advantage. Buying things, an eye for good goods, that’s rightly yours."

Anyway, Chen Yan did not intend to buy anything more today—today had already yielded great rewards, that broken copper mirror, already like hitting the jackpot!
