Su Xiao suddenly smiled and looked at Wang Tiezhu happily.
"Junior Brother Wang, why did you come to me?"
Wang Tiezhu scratched his head and reluctantly recounted what he had just encountered.
After hearing this, Su Xiao burst into laughter and joked: "Junior brother Wang, you are now a popular person in our sect, ever since Elder Zhu Eo took you to make a scene in the Tianjian Hall that day.
Now the entire sect knows that you are a ground-level alchemist, and as far as I know, there are more than a dozen senior brothers and sisters who want to find you to refine elixirs!"
"Why!"
Wang Tiezhu sighed heavily and waved his hands.
"Senior sister, please don't make fun of me. I have just broken through to the Xuanyang realm. Where can I find so much time to refine elixirs for them?"
"I understand! I understand!"
Su Xiao laughed, sat down on a high stool nearby, and continued: "That's why I just asked you to keep your voice down, otherwise if they know you are here, they will probably crowd my little shop immediately.
Got it!"
"profound!"
Wang Tiezhu suddenly realized, "So this is why Senior Sister just closed her shop?"
"What if?"
Su Xiao tilted her head and looked at him doubtfully.
"You don't know, the news that I know you has spread out. Some time ago, people often came to squat near my store, just to wait for you! In ancient times, we waited for rabbits, but now we wait for kings!"
Hearing this, Wang Tiezhu smiled secretly in his heart, "It's okay to guard Su and treat the king!"
"I tried to persuade them, but they didn't listen. It wasn't until I waited for a few days and saw that you really didn't come here that I reluctantly left. You have to be more careful in the future. It's best to wear that monkey face mask of yours when you go out.
, but your mask looks familiar to me. Could it be that it was given by Elder Guo?"
Wang Tiezhu shook his head and said with a smile: "No, I bought this myself, just to hide my identity when necessary!"
Su Xiao nodded affirmatively, "What a boy! You have foresight!"
Then, she said doubtfully: "Junior brother, tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the sect competition. If you don't prepare well, how come you still have time to come to me?"
"Didn't I just come here to inquire about some news about the sect competition? Who knew I would be chased by that group of people for a long time along the way..."
Wang Tiezhu looked helpless, and suddenly remembered what he had seen and heard in Fang City, and asked back: "By the way, Senior Sister Xiao, why are there so few people in Fang City?"
Su Xiao was stunned when he heard this, and asked doubtfully: "Is it young? Is it like this on weekdays?"
"No, no, no, it's not compared to usual."
Wang Tiezhu shook his head, "Tomorrow is the sect competition. Shouldn't all the disciples who are going to participate in the competition come to the market to purchase talismans and spiritual weapons? I remember that during the entry competition, the place was packed with people.
You can't even squeeze in."
"Oh! This is what you are talking about!"
Su Xiao smiled slightly and explained: "That's because those who want to participate in the sect competition have started preparing early. In the days leading up to the competition, they must stabilize their cultivation and not wander around in such a place.
.”
"ah?"
A depressed look flashed across Wang Tiezhu's face.
"I'm still thinking of taking advantage of this period of time to sell the spiritual weapon in my hand at a good price!"
"Hehehe, junior brother is a newbie, and he was not in the sect some time ago, so naturally he doesn't know these things..."
Su Xiao comforted her for a while, and then looked thoughtful.
"It's just that I remember that this time the sect competition seems to have added a few new regulations. There are restrictions on the grade and quantity of spiritual weapons used. I forgot what they are. Junior brother can go to Tianjian Square to see them later.
At first glance, there should be these regulations there.”
"There are still restrictions..."
Wang Tiezhu nodded thoughtfully and prepared to say goodbye to Su Xiao and go to Tianjian Square to take a look.
However, before he could speak, there was a knock on the door.
"Senior Sister Su Xiao! Senior Sister Su Xiao! Are you there? Open the door!"
The two people in the shop were all startled, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
"Senior Sister Xiao, what's going on? How did anyone know you were in there?" Wang Tiezhu lowered his voice and asked doubtfully.
"I, I don't know either! My store is closed, why..."
Halfway through, Su Xiao was suddenly startled, then looked at Wang Tiezhu with an aggrieved look and said, "I don't think I took the display card back..."
"Display sign? Is it the wooden sign at the entrance of your store that displays the spiritual herbs sold?"
"Yes, yes!" Su Xiao pursed her lips and rubbed a corner of her hands nervously.
"I change the type of spiritual herbs on it every day, as well as the date. I have changed it today. The day written on it is today. Anyone who is interested must know that I am in the store. How can this be done?"
Looking at Su Xiao who was at a loss, Wang Tiezhu sighed slightly and patted her little head, "It's okay, it's okay. As long as we don't say anything, he will leave later if he doesn't respond."
"Okay, okay..."
So, the two of them waited in silence for the person outside the door to leave.
After shouting a few words, the knocking on the door stopped.
The two looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before they could completely relax, there was another voice outside the door, and this time there was one more person!
"What's going on? No one responded?"
This is a smooth and calm voice, and one can feel that this person is very reliable.
"Yes! I called for a long time, but no one answered!"
This is the person who just called the door at the beginning, and his tone of voice was jumpy, which shows that his personality is perverse and lively, and he is not as calm as the former.
"The date on the display board has been changed, which means that Senior Sister Su Xiao opened the store today. The door is now closed, but the display board is outside...
If Senior Sister Su Xiao closes the door normally, she will definitely take it back. Since it is still outside, it means Senior Sister must have encountered an emergency!"
Hearing the analysis of the calm male voice, Wang Tiezhu felt helpless.
This was the last situation he wanted to encounter, but he actually met a thoughtful person!
"Ah? That means senior sister is in trouble?"
"Well...it's very possible..."
The calm male voice continued: "And I think it's very possible that Senior Sister is still in the store, but for some reason, she can't respond to you!"
"What?!"
A jumping male voice exclaimed, "Still inside? That means there is probably another person hiding inside, forcing her not to speak?"
"That's right..."
The calm male voice hesitated: "It's just a little bit..."
"What?"
"Can you please keep your voice down? If someone inside hears it, it may be detrimental to Senior Sister!"
"Oh oh oh! Okay, okay!"
Hearing the conversation between the two, Wang Tiezhu was speechless.
If he was really a bad person and heard what they said, he would have broken out of the door with Su Xiao while they were not paying attention. Why would he still wait for them to analyze here?
