Chapter 274: Chapter 274: You Really Are a Straight Man of Steel

Qin Yi glanced back at Liu Jinsuo, who had a nonchalant look on his face. He wasn’t sure if it was old people turning bad or bad people getting old. But Liu Jinsuo’s expression was truly ugly.

"Brother, shall we call the police?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly. However, for an old hand like Liu Jinsuo, getting caught wasn’t a one-time or two-time thing, and he would still continue with his deceit and trickery once released.

"White Jade Grass."

Suddenly, a surprised voice sounded from the crowd behind Qin Yi.

Qin Yi was slightly taken aback and curiously turned to look. A girl and two men were approaching, their eyes fixed on the White Jade Grass in Li Dazhuang’s hand.

The girl looked about seventeen or eighteen, quite pretty, wearing a princess dress, with fair skin and big eyes that made her look very cute.

The two men were in their thirties, with fierce eyes and a faintly intimidating aura around them.

Qi Refiners, no wonder they could recognize the White Jade Grass.

The girl stepped forward and looked at Li Dazhuang, "Are you selling the White Jade Grass in your hand?"

Li Dazhuang instinctively nodded.

"Alright then, name your price, I want this White Jade Grass."

The girl’s voice and appearance were of the sweet kind, but her tone was commanding, full of arrogance.

Li Dazhuang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "This herb already has a buyer, I’ve already promised to sell it to this young brother."

As Li Dazhuang looked at Qin Yi, the girl and the two men also turned their gaze towards him.

When the girl saw Qin Yi, her eyes lit up. Qin Yi’s height, looks, and temperament were impeccable, indeed possessing an extraordinary allure to women.

"Little brother, could you give me this White Jade Grass, pretty please?"

Sweet voice, sweet looks, an average man might not withstand such sugary flirtation that could cause diabetes.

However, there wasn’t the slightest change in Qin Yi’s expression. To him, she was just a kid. The woman beside him was a peerless beauty, and even if Qin Wan’er hadn’t yet fully blossomed, she would still outshine the girl.

Beauty had no sway over Qin Yi, who could easily smile serenely and declare himself immune.

Qin Yi said flatly, "I have great use for this White Jade Grass, I cannot give it away."

The girl’s sweet smile froze, "You’re really a stubborn straight man."

Qin Yi chuckled. Not being swayed by beauty was being a stubborn straight man?

He looked at Li Dazhuang and asked with a smile, "Do you prefer cash, a check, or a bank transfer?"

Li Dazhuang chuckled foolishly, scratching his head, "Could you transfer 98,000 and give me 2,000 in cash, is that okay?"

Qin Yi was slightly amazed, "I don’t know how to use mobile payment and would like some cash to buy things for my daughter to take home."

Qin Yi smiled and nodded, "Of course!"

"How old is your daughter?"

"She’s four, just at that mischievous, playful age..." Li Dazhuang replied, a happy smile on his dark face as he talked about his daughter.

Qin Yi had merely asked casually and chuckled, "Let’s go, there’s a bank at the market entrance, I’ll transfer the money and give you some cash."

Li Dazhuang nodded.

As they were about to leave, the girl stepped in front of Li Dazhuang.

With her head held high, she said proudly, "He’s offering a hundred thousand, I’ll offer two hundred thousand, sell the White Jade Grass to me."

Li Dazhuang’s eyes flashed with fervor, two hundred thousand could build a courtyard house in their village.

But soon enough, Li Dazhuang shook his head, "If it weren’t for this brother today, I wouldn’t even get a penny, and might be treated as a villain accused of extortion. A person should keep their word, I cannot sell it to you."

The girl’s face was full of discontent, looking at Li Dazhuang with disdain, "Are you stupid? You’re refusing two hundred thousand and opting to sell for a hundred thousand to him?"

Li Dazhuang didn’t get angry, he could see that this girl seemed to be a spoiled rich girl, whom he couldn’t afford to offend. He chuckled and said, "I didn’t have much schooling and am not well-educated, but I know gratitude."

The girl’s thin lips curled up disdainfully, "What a blockhead, can’t see the light, refusing two hundred thousand and opting for a hundred thousand, big fool."

"Why are you like this, not selling to you, so you resort to insults?" Qin Wan’er couldn’t bear it anymore and said angrily.

The girl glanced at Qin Wan’er, a flash of jealousy in her eyes because she found Qin Wan’er prettier than herself, her big eyes rolling, "What this lady fancies must be acquired no matter what."

Saying that, she looked at Li Dazhuang, "I’ll offer three hundred thousand."

"You’re going too far!" Qin Wan’er puffed her cheeks angrily.

Li Dazhuang still shook his head; though simple, he knew how to be grateful and understood that this was windfall wealth, and he should not be greedy.

"Fool, big fool, you look like a big fool, turning down an extra two hundred thousand." The girl cursed in anger.

Qin Yi shook his head slightly, questioning which family had spoiled this young lady.

"Let’s go!"

Just as Qin Yi took a step forward, the girl called out, "You cannot leave, this lady wants this item, it must be sold to me."

Qin Yi paid her no mind; his steps did not falter.

"Hmph, what this lady fancies is never unacquired." Saying this, she signaled to the two men.

One of the men with a swift movement advanced towards Li Dazhuang, reaching out to grab the White Jade Grass.

The girl shouted, "Liu Feng, don’t hurt anyone."

However, the man named Liu Feng grabbed nothing but air, staring as the White Jade Grass in Li Dazhuang’s hand disappeared, his expression changed drastically.

Li Dazhuang was scared stiff, the man’s speed was too fast, like a flash, he appeared suddenly in front of him.

Liu Feng paused, then looked sharply at Qin Yi. The White Jade Grass was now in Qin Yi’s hand, causing Liu Feng’s eyes to contract fiercely.

The girl exclaimed in surprise, "So, you’re a Qi Refiner too?"

Others hadn’t noticed, but she and the other man clearly saw that when Liu Feng was about to grab the White Jade Grass, Qin Yi simply raised his hand and absorbed the herb into his palm.

The girl looked at Qin Yi with interest, "Which city’s Guardian are you, what’s your name?"

"I’m no Guardian!" Qin Yi frowned slightly, saying indifferently, "Don’t do things like snatching others’ belongings again, it’s unethical and beneath the title of Guardian."

A Guardian protects a place’s peace, not uses their cultivation to seize people’s belongings.

The girl arrogantly retorted, "What do you mean by snatching someone else’s belongings? Whatever this lady fancies is hers."

Qin Yi chuckled, saying nothing in response!

"Don’t think that just because you’re a Qi Refiner you can lecture this lady. Liu Feng, take the item back for me."

Liu Feng subtly nodded, his figure flashing like lightning towards Qin Yi, reaching out for the White Jade Grass in Qin Yi’s hand.

Qin Yi’s eyes grew cold; he snorted lightly, and with a gentle stomp of his foot, an invisible stream of Qi swept out from his body.

Bam!

Liu Feng felt as if struck by an invisible hammer, his whole body flew back uncontrollably, coincidentally colliding with Liu Jinsuo, who was hiding behind watching the drama unfold.

With a crash!

Liu Jinsuo’s stall was overturned as he was knocked into it, letting out a wail of despair.
