She doesn't know how to sell it. The hair flower is so beautiful that she is reluctant to eat it. How could she be willing to sell it to others?
Ye Taotao looked at the old man warily, as if she was afraid that he would forcefully buy her hair.
The old man came back to his senses, stroked his beard, and smiled awkwardly: "Hehehe..." The little girl was really vigilant.
Bai Xin took a step forward, hid Ye Taotao behind him, and stared at the old man: "Senior, why are you stopping us?"
The old man reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the strange fire red lotus on Ye Taotao's bun, and said with a smile: "There was a vision in the sky last night, and it was a calamity. In this Zhuli world, there has not been such a shocking talent for a long time.
He is a beautiful alchemist, and I have a feeling of love for him, so I would like to ask him if he is willing to be my close disciple."
Of course, he did think so before coming here; however, he gave up this idea after seeing the strange fire red lotus on Ye Taotao's head.
An alchemist with strange fire, I am afraid that I am not qualified to be his master.
Sure enough, Xiao Yan, who was standing next to Ye Taotao, said: "Thank you, senior, for your kindness, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do what you want."
Although he already knew the result would be like this, the old man still shook his head gently and sighed imperceptibly, with a look of melancholy and loss on his face.
What a pity, why didn’t such a genius come from his own disciples?
"It doesn't matter. With your ability, your future will be limitless. If you rashly join me, you will be hiding some of your talents." The old man said.
Since there was no master-disciple relationship, the old man did not force himself and asked the girl to push him away in a wheelchair.

Bai Xin, Xiao Yan and Ye Taotao returned to the small courtyard they rented before.
The courtyard was still the same as it was before they left.
The first thing Ye Taotao did after entering the yard was to open the door of one of the rooms, run in and jump in. Pointing at the large pool inside, she called Bai Xin and Xiao Yan to look over.
"The pond is so big, it can accommodate a big fish!"
The big water tank where the shark lives is really too narrow. For such a big shark, the tail fin is so wide and broad that it looks like a big translucent fan. How uncomfortable it must be to be huddled in the water tank.
?
Ye Taotao has long wanted to find a place for him to live!
This pool was originally used for bathing by the people who lived here. There is a beast-shaped water outlet on each side, which can automatically fill the pool with water.
After adding enough water, Bai Xin and Xiao Yan carried the large water tank in.
"Big fish, big fish," Ye Taotao tapped the water tank with her chubby fingers, and shouted to the shark happily, "Come out and see, I'll give you a new water tank!"
"Gudu..."
There was a sound of water bubbles floating up gently, and the next moment, a naked adult man's upper body emerged from the water tank, with wet blue hair sticking to his body.
A few drops of water splashed onto Ye Taotao's face.
Stretching out his little paw to wipe his face, Ye Taotao pointed to the large pool and said happily to the shark: "The pool is for you."
The shark opened his mouth and only made a weak sound, but no one could hear it clearly.
He lowered his eyes, hit the wall of the tank hard with his tail, jumped out of the tank, and plunged into the pool with a "plop", causing a splash of water.
The little monster's face that had just been wiped dry was wet again.
Ye Taotao's little face was still a little dazed. She blinked twice blankly, then hurriedly stretched out her hand to wipe the water from her face.
Seeing this, professional nanny Bai Xin immediately stepped forward, took out a handkerchief, and wiped Ye Taotao's face clean.
The pool was larger than the water tank. The shark stayed in it. Although it was still a little cramped, he could already stretch out his blue tail fin and swim in a small circle.
I don't know if he felt guilty for accidentally splashing water on Ye Taotao's face. As soon as the shark fell into the pool, he quickly swam to the corner farthest from the person and floated quietly in the water.
Ye Taotao was still a little unhappy at first, but because of the pitiful appearance of the shark, the unhappiness completely disappeared and turned into pity and sympathy.
Such a big shark must live in the sea, right? He must have been caught by bad guys, so he appears here with scars.
Thinking of the serious injuries on the shark's body when he first met him, Ye Taotao quickly took a closer look at the shark's body.
The wounds on the body are almost healed, leaving some faint red marks. Maybe they will disappear in a short time, right?
However, the injury on its tail was still not healed, and the peeling scales did not grow back, revealing the gray-white flesh underneath, as if it was bald.
On the intact part of the tail, ice-blue fish scales are neatly arranged, shining like crystal glass.
The areas where the scales are peeling off are simply ugly in comparison.
Ye Taotao looked at the injury on its tail with distress, and couldn't help but asked softly: "Can the tail be cured?"
She thought that the big fish would remain silent as usual, but she didn't expect that this time the shark raised his head, raised his long eyelashes, stared at her with blue eyes, and nodded slightly.
Ye Taotao didn't know how to describe those eyes, which were beautiful and clear, like the vast ocean and the peaceful and vast sky.
But those are a pair of lifeless eyes.
The pupils were dilated, unable to condense any light, empty and lifeless, like...
blind?
Ye Taotao's heart moved: "Can't you see?"
The shark nodded slightly.
Ye Taotao suddenly felt even more distressed. Such a beautiful fish could not be seen.
At this time, Xiao Yan spoke: "I heard that the sharks wept tears into beads, and the pearls formed from their tears can be used as medicine, which has the effect of improving the quality of the elixir."
Ye Taotao looked at him curiously, blinking twice, as if asking is it true?
Xiao Yan paused, glanced at Ye Taotao, and continued: "Therefore, after some people hunt the sharks, they will use various methods to force them to cry, collect pearls and sell them... until they are blinded by crying.
No more pearls will be shed."
Ye Taotao couldn't help but shudder after hearing this: So, could it be that Big Fish's eyes...were forced to cry blindly?
Looking at the shark in front of him, Ye Taotao felt indescribably sad. His face, which had been so happy because he had given the shark a new pool, also fell down at this moment.
Bai Xin glanced at Xiao Yan with some reproach: Why are you talking to the little monster about this?
Xiao Yan squatted down, looked at Ye Taotao seriously, and said with a serious face: "It's not just the sharks, they will also catch other monsters, treat them with various cruel methods, and squeeze out of them
