Chapter 433: Xu Tianci and Ouyang Xue

Chapter 433: Chapter 433: Xu Tianci and Ouyang Xue

Shen Yuntian has been traveling south, and finally obtained news about the displaced people he was searching for in Xiejiang.

With a glimmer of hope, his spirits were lifted.

Once he found his brother and sister-in-law, he would return to Yan City!

For over twenty days, he looked for them during the day and then carried a small stove to the Night Market every night to sell roast skewers.

Local vendors were unhappy about him stealing their customers, but seeing his face and muscles, they chose not to mess with him.

A few older ones were curious as he only opened his stall for an hour each day.

His skewers stall was the most popular in the entire Night Market, and yet he unwaveringly operated it only for an hour every day. Because of this, the local people rarely bothered him.

After all, even if his business was doing very well, once he packed up, everyone else could still return to their own stalls.

Having served the last customer’s skewers, Shen Yuntian swiftly extinguished the stove and began to pack up and leave.

People who arrived later grew frantic when they saw him preparing to leave.

They had heard the rumors that there was a new skewers vendor in the Night Market with exceptional taste. They had been unable to find him for the last two days and now, after finally encountering him, he was leaving again?

"Hey, hey, hey, don’t leave! We haven’t bought anything yet!"

The young man was dressed in a silk robe, wearing a crown adorned with jade and gold. He also carried a gold fragrance pouch on his waist, with a large pearl hanging below it.

Just standing there, he emanated an aura of wealth.

Shen Yuntian did not respond or look back at him, he just readied his carrying pole intending to leave.

He had made over two hundred wen today. After removing the cost he would have around a hundred and sixty wen.

He needed to save this silver.

"Hey! I’m talking to you!" Seeing that Shen Yuntian was ignoring him, the young man’s pale face turned bright red, feeling slighted.

The woman accompanying him frowned slightly, she wanted to say something but felt it inappropriate and just quietly observed instead.

This young master from the Xu Family was awfully brash, certainly not the perfect match.

The Zhuo Family boy was much better.

Seeing that Shen Yuntian had already moved two meters away, Xu Tianci, the young master of the Xu Family, irritated, quickly walked up and grabbed the rope under the carrying pole with his hand.

The young man was in high spirits and intended to forcefully stop Shen Yuntian, but was instead dragged forward, stumbling a few steps.

This caused a bit of a commotion, driving the surrounding crowd to look on with curiosity. Already embarrassed, the young master felt even more humiliated and enraged.

"What the hell is wrong with you! Are you mute? Why are you being so rude when I am talking to you!"

The Xu family were well-known and respected in Xiejiang, with the couple being highly philanthropic. They had established connections with many power figures and wealthy merchants over the decades.

Xu Tianci was their late-born son, a treasure held delicately in their mouth and carefully carried in their hands, afraid that he might melt or get lost.

A young master who grew up like this could not tolerate being ignored by others.

Recognizing him, no one in the crowd dared to comment on the situation and simply stretched their necks to watch the show.

Feeling the embarrassment of being the center of attention, Ouyang Xue could do nothing but gently pull at Xu Tianci’s sleeve, telling him to leave.

"Tianci, let’s just go."

The girl’s voice, soft and at a loss, gave the impression to Xu Tianci that Xuexue was feeling wronged.

It was, after all, his idea to bring Xuexue out for a night of fun. They hadn’t been able to find the stall for two days and now that they finally had, it didn’t seem right to let Xuexue go home with nothing.

"Don’t worry, Xuexue, I will make sure you get to try these skewers today."

Declaring it with a slap on his chest, the young master was completely oblivious to the fact that Xuexue wished she could cover her face and leave.

She knew Xu Tianci was a bit foolish, but she hadn’t expected him to be this foolish.

No wonder her mother always told her to stay away from him.

"Move aside." Stuck in a circle of people blocking his way, Shen Yuntian finally spoke up.

Hearing this, those who had surrounded him moved aside, and Xu Tianci took this opportunity to stand in Shen Yuntian’s way.

"Wait, I need you to roast a few more skewers for my Xuexue."

Pointing at his chin, the young master gave orders.

Shen Yuntian glanced at him but didn’t say anything.

Seeing Shen Yuntian’s scarred face, Xu Tianci hesitated for a moment, but was not frightened. He stuttered but added another sentence.

"I... I’ll give you a tael of silver for two more skewers."

"Not roasting."

Shen Yuntian shook his head and refused.

He had set a rule for himself to only sell for an hour each day and could not break it.

Furthermore, he had already sold all his skewers. If he wanted to roast more, he would need to go to the market and buy more meat.

"Then... then how about five taels of silver!"

Xu Tianci made a sign of five with his hand, but Shen Yuntian remained unmoved.

Hearing his offer, the crowd around them gasped.

Five taels of silver was not a small amount.

They knew about the vendor who only sold skewers for one hour a day, charging two wen per skewer. The five taels offered by Xu Tianci equated to over two thousand skewers.

If he still refused, he would indeed be a fool!

"Not selling." Shen Yuntian shook his head, looking a little helpless as he faced the young master.

It was clear that the young man was a wealthy master with far too much money to spend.

"Then I’ll give ten taels of silver!"

Xu Tianci clung to Shen Yuntian like a child, obstinately begging.

"It’s not that I don’t want to sell them to you, it’s just that I’ve sold out." Shen Yuntian, fearing misunderstanding, put his carrying pole down, opening the empty wooden box to show him.

"Can you just find a way to roast a few more skewers for me, please?"

The pleading in Xu Tianci’s voice left the onlookers a little astonished.

When was the last time they had seen this young demon of the Xu family begging like this?

Observing the young man in front of him, Shen Yuntian couldn’t help but feel a headache.

This young master was someone he couldn’t afford to offend, but where was he supposed to get more skewers at the moment?

At Shen Yuntian’s frown, Xu Tianci’s eyes brightened. He no longer sought to block Shen Yuntian’s way, instead he leaned in and asked quietly.

"Brother, do you have any more of those skewers at home? If you do, I can come with you to get them. If you don’t want any silver, just tell me what you need. As long as it’s something I can help with, I will."

As Xu Tianci finished speaking, the surrounding crowd looked at him in disbelief.

Had this young master of the Xu Family been hexed by someone?

Ouyang Xue also sat in stunned silence.

Was Xu Tianci suggesting that he would leave her here, while he followed the vendor back to his home?

Everyone expected Shen Yuntian to decline once again, but he actually agreed after a moment of consideration.

"Alright, you can come with me. I live in the alley up ahead."

Xu Tianci chuckled, nodded, and eagerly followed behind Shen Yuntian.

As the crowd watched the two leaving, one after another, all of their eyes fell on Ouyang Xue, causing her to blush.

Xu Tianci was really irritating!

She wouldn’t associate with him in the future!
