Chapter 148: The Unremarkable Eldest Senior Sister

Xiao Yurong’s usually calm face revealed a mysterious smile. He looked at the things around with satisfaction.

Xie Pinghuai got goosebumps all over his body when he saw that.

“Something must be wrong to be selling talismans? People are selling food and entertainment along the long street. There are even two brothels. Which shop sells such peculiar things? This street aside, even in the entire Imperial City, I’ve only seen fortune tellers setting up a stand on the street. I’ve never seen anyone who dares to open a shop for this.” Xie Pinghuai had no idea about respecting the teachers.

He was throwing Xiao Yurong a cold blanket now.

Not only that, but he was also suspicious that there was something wrong with Teacher Xiao’s head.

Although he wanted to take him as his Master, in reality, he had only seen Teacher Xiao a few times from far. He only heard from people that Teacher Xiao was especially strict when he taught, and…

He had no idea about anything else regarding Teacher Xiao!

Now that he saw Teacher Xiao smiling at those talismans like a fool, he thought this man seemed to be bewitched.

Xiao Yurong’s face turned grim.

“You fool. Do you know how rare these talismans are!? Look at the patterns on them. They’re as smooth as clouds and flowing water, inscribed with a single stroke of the brush. It would be ruined as soon as one was distracted. How dare you say foolish things when you know nothing about it? Copy ‘Family Mottos of Famous Families’ ten times. Let me see it tomorrow evening before school ends!” Teacher Xiao was very mad.

Xie Pinghuai’s eyelids twitched.

Did he really want such a person to be his Master?

He was unreasonable!

“Teacher Xiao… Can it be that this shop belongs to your relative?” Xie Pinghuai suddenly thought of such a possibility; “It’s not that I want to stick my nose in it, but I’m suggesting that your relative should change the business model. These talismans are useless. This business won’t prosper!”

Teacher Xiao was thrown another cold blanket.

How could this idiot be so foolish!?

Did his Senior Sister hear that? If she had the same thoughts as this idiot, would that not mean…

Teacher Xiao turned around immediately and decided to ignore Xie Pinghuai.

“Teacher Xiao, when will you accept me as your disciple? My reputation is bad, but I’m quite smart. If there are any errands that you need to run in the future, just order me! I dare to guarantee that there’s no place that I don’t know in this city!” It was rare for Xie Pinghuai to find such an opportunity, so how could he not seize it?

Teacher Xiao frowned.

‘Go away, you foolish child.’

…

Xie Qiao wore a Taoist robe. Her face… looked different.

It was a joyous occasion as she would open for business today. She had to show her face. If the boss was too mysterious, it might attract trouble. She thought she would put on makeup and show herself to the public.

From now on, she could often come as the Young Lady Xie. Others would just think that she was interested in such things since she had grown up at the Taoist temple.

It was easy for her to put on makeup. One should not underestimate the black markets. Purchasing cosmetics aside, human-skin masks were available as well.

Xie Qiao had bought some items that were easy to apply and had drawn on her face casually. She looked very different from her usual face.

She had made herself look like 30, with normal skin condition…

She had even made herself a little ugly with a full face of dark spots. She did not look too good as a whole. She looked unremarkable.

Xie Qiao was on the second floor now.

It was too noisy as a few ghouls were complaining to her. They refused to queue, which was kind of irritating.

Xie Qiao thought she would calm herself downstairs. She saw Xie Pinghuai immediately, as well as Teacher Xiao.

Xiao Yurong did not want to look at Xie Pinghuai, so he would look around every now and then, hoping to see Senior Sister Mo he wanted to meet.

As he looked around, he saw a lady walking down from upstairs.

She wore a green Taoist robe and walked slowly. As Xiao Yurong looked at her face… he was stunned.
