Chapter 98

Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan stopped, turned to look at the person who came, and saw a tall and thin middle-aged man walking towards them.

Zhan Yihan held Su Jinyue's hand slightly tighter, and exchanged glances with Su Jinyue. They all found unusual auras in each other, and the other party should be an ancient martial arts practitioner.

"Did you two just go to Ruichengzhai and buy a rusty short knife?" the middle-aged man asked. He searched the street for a long time, only they were two of them, and they were still young people. Generally, people who come to Liulichang are middle-aged or elderly people, and young people rarely come here.

"I bought it, but I lost it." Su Jinyue said. Since the other party found them, they should know that they bought the short knife.

"Lost? Who are you lying to?" the middle-aged man hummed displeasedly.

"Forget it if you don't believe it." Su Jinyue gave the middle-aged man a blank look, then pulled Zhan Yihan and left. Anyway, the short knife is in her storage bag, and the other party will never be able to find it.

The middle-aged man stepped up to follow, looking carefully at Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue, his brows furrowed even tighter, he did not see the rusty short knife on them, nor did he feel it. To the breath of that dagger. Could it be that they really lost it?

Following Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan to the dumpling shop, seeing the two sitting down, the middle-aged man also sat down in the empty seat beside him.

Su Jinyue picked up the menu on the table, looked at it, and looked up at Zhan Yihan, "What kind of stuffed dumplings do you eat?" She chose to ignore the middle-aged man.

"The cabbage and pork stuffing here is very good. It's a signature. Do you want to try it?" Zhan Yihan asked. He has eaten here several times and thinks the dumplings with cabbage and pork are better.

"Then eat cabbage and pork stuffing." Su Jinyue decided with a smile.

Zhan Yihan nodded with a smile, raised his hand and beckoned the waiter, "Give us half a catty of dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork."

"Okay, wait a minute!" The waiter took the menu and walked towards the kitchen.

The middle-aged man squinted, his eyes kept scanning Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue. He can now be sure that the short knife is not on Su Jinyue and the others. Although the short knife was short, it was much longer and heavier than a normal dagger. It's almost impossible to hide from anyone.

Sighing, he stood up and walked outside. No matter whether the other party lost it or not, it is certain that the short knife is not on them, then it is not interesting for him to follow them. It is better to go and see if he can find other items similar to the short knife.

After eating the dumplings, Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan came to Liulichang again, wandering shop after shop.

I just strolled around for an afternoon, and I didn't see an antique with a purple glow.

Su Jinyue sighed in disappointment and was about to open her mouth to go back to the hospital.

"Clearance sale, don't miss it when you pass by." A shout caught Su Jinyue's attention. She followed the reputation and found that a shop specializing in selling ancient books was doing a clearance sale.

"Let's go take a look." Su Jinyue took Zhan Yihan's hand and walked towards the store.

Walking into the store, Su Jinyue was a little surprised when she saw the middle-aged man who had followed them before. The other party can find the unusualness of the short knife among so many antiques, and he is definitely not an ordinary person. Maybe there is something that attracts him when he comes here.

She glanced around the store. Due to the clearance of the store, there were piles of old books and picture scrolls everywhere, and it looked very messy. If it weren't for her eyes being able to identify the age of antiques by color, they would have to be in these old books. It will be difficult to find treasures, after all, she only knows a little about antiques.

A touch of lavender reflected in Su Jinyue's eyes, Su Jinyue was overjoyed, and was about to pull Zhan Yihan forward when she saw the middle-aged man looking over, and immediately restrained the expression on her face, so Tsukuru leisurely walked over to a pile of books not far from him and flipped through it.

The middle-aged man snorted coldly and turned his head. When he passed by the store before, he felt that the store had the same aura as a short knife, but there were too many books here, and he searched for a long time and still couldn't find what he was looking for. But he trusted his instincts to be right.

"Let's go over there and have a look?" Su Jinyue pulled Zhan Yihan and walked towards the pile of books with purple light.

When she came to the pile of books, Su Jinyue squatted down, flipped it up, and asked the boss sitting at the counter, "Boss, how do you sell these books?"

"An ancient book is ten yuan, a picture scroll is twenty yuan, and the rest are all eight yuan." The boss opened his mouth with a bit of interest. How could he sell the books and picture scrolls that he had worked so hard to collect if it wasn't for an emergency at home that was in urgent need of money.

Su Jinyue nodded clearly and picked up a few books with yellow and green light. When she picked up the book with purple light, she quickly put it into her storage bag.

Standing up, he went to another place to pick up two books at random, and walked up to the boss, "Boss, count the nine books in total here."

The boss looked at it and nodded.

Su Jinyue took out the money and handed it to the boss, and walked out of the store with Zhan Yihan.

The boss counted the money and found that there was an extra ten yuan. He wanted to stop Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan, but found that the two had gone far away, so he could only collect the money with a sigh.

The middle-aged man stopped rummaging and frowned. He suddenly found that the breath was gone. Could it be that what he wanted was sold by two young people?

Thinking of this, he quickly chased out.

"You stop!"

Hearing the low voice coming from behind, Su Jinyue's mouth curled into a faint arc, "Sure enough, I'm catching up." She guessed that the middle-aged man should be able to sense objects with purple light, otherwise he wouldn't He found out as soon as they bought the books.

Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue stopped and looked at the middle-aged man who was catching up.

"What do you want to do?" Zhan Yihan asked in a deep voice.

"Take out those books you just bought." The middle-aged man said with a cold face.

"Why?!" Zhan Yihan's face turned cold, looking at the middle-aged man's eyes flashing with a chill.

"Don't toast, don't eat and drink fines. Once you anger me, you can't afford the consequences." The middle-aged man threatened with a cold face.

Su Jinyue pulled Zhan Yihan and said, "It's not impossible for you to read it, but you can't read it for nothing. Why don't I show you a book, you pay for a book, agree I'll show you then."
