"Pfft~"
Seeing the broken piece of iron that Jia Lie Ao produced, Qi Yan'er couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hey, little yellow hair, last time you picked up a broken ring to fool my Sister Xun'er, and this time, where did you find this broken piece of iron to continue fooling us?"
"I'm not fooling anyone, and this isn't just a broken piece of iron!"
Jia Lie Ao said firmly and affirmatively:
"This is a treasure that I spent a lot of money to buy from a stall in the market!"
"Treasure? Just this?"
Gu Ni sneered from the side.
"Young Master Jia Lie, I'm not trying to scare you, but you should put that junk away!"
"Otherwise… I'll really throw you off the second floor!"
"Master Gu Ni, I'm serious!"
Seeing the disdainful looks from the crowd, Jia Lie Ao quickly explained, "I just snatched this from Xiao Yan at that stall!"
"Oh?"
As soon as these words were spoken, several people, including Qi Yan'er, suddenly perked up!
Xiao Yan!
The Xiao Yan of now was not the Xiao Yan of before! After Qi Yan'er mentioned the possible Dou Emperor in the ring, everyone knew that this waste, Xiao Yan, might actually turn things around!
It was already strange that Xiao Yan wanted to buy this broken piece of metal after leaving the auction house!
Could this… really be a treasure?
Although they had some guesses in their hearts, their expressions remained unchanged.
Gu Ni even chuckled, "Young Master Jia Lie, you know what kind of person that Third Young Master of the Xiao Family is. You want what he wants?"
"You wouldn't have been fooled by him, would you?!"
Gu Ni's words caused Jia Lie Ao's expression to sink.
Fooled?
That's absolutely impossible! Because he wasn't alone at the time; there was another person with him!
However, that person had just been called back because his father had sent word with something urgent.
According to what that person said, anyone with outstanding Soul Perception could sense what was inside!
How could Gu Ni, a Second Grade Alchemist, not sense it? This old man was the one trying to fool him!
Thinking of this, Jia Lie Ao smiled confidently: "Miss Xiao Xun'er, although I don't know what's inside this iron piece, I believe it's definitely not simple. This is a token of my sincerity and an apology for my previous rash actions. Please, accept it."
Before Xiao Xun'er could speak, Qi Yan'er, her face puffed up, complained:
"Little yellow hair, it really is a... token of affection, huh?"
"Cough~"
Jia Lie Ao coughed to cover his embarrassment, his gaze fixed on Xiao Xun'er, full of expectation.
Looking at Jia Lie Ao, who was still standing in front of her, Xiao Xun'er's face turned cold, and she chided:
"Young Master Jia Lie, I, Xiao Xun'er, don't need your 'affection'. I don't care at all about your so-called recklessness! Please take this treasure back!"
Little Doctor Immortal shook her head helplessly from the side:
"Although it's the first time I've met you, how could you give a girl something so black and unappealing? What were you thinking?"
"..."
Stunned by the direct rejection and mockery, Jia Lie Ao stood frozen, a surge of anger rising within him.
He was, after all, the young master of the Jia Lie Family, yet he was being humiliated and rejected again and again!
How could he endure this?
Immediately, Jia Lie Ao's expression darkened:
"Miss Xun'er, you may not want it, but today, I must prove that what I, Jia Lie Ao, give you is no ordinary item!"
"You, you little punk, are you not going to stop?"
Qi Yan'er's small face puffed up in anger as she pointed at Jia Lie Ao:
"Fine! You won't give up until you're dead, right?"
"Old man, go!"
"Uh..."
The old face of Gu Ni, who was suddenly called upon, turned bitter.
That kid's tone... why does it sound so much like he's...
Gu Ni felt helpless and stared fixedly at Jia Lie Ao, saying with displeasure, "Give it here and let me have a look!"
Eager to prove himself, Jia Lie Ao directly handed the iron piece to Gu Ni.
Gu Ni took the iron piece, examined it carefully up and down, and frowned, "There really is something in here!"
Ya Fei's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she asked curiously, "Uncle Gu Ni, what is inside?"
"It seems to contain a Technique. The person who made the iron piece should also be an Alchemist, so only Alchemists with exceptional Soul Perception can sense it!"
Saying this, Gu Ni looked at Jia Lie Ao with surprise!
Being stared at like that, Jia Lie Ao thought to himself, Oh no!
Having gone too far with his act, Jia Lie Ao quickly avoided the scrutinizing gazes of Gu Ni and Ya Fei.
"Interesting~"
Gu Ni's pupils constricted, and he smiled faintly, "I didn't expect your Jia Lie Family to be so well-hidden!"
"Technique?"
Hearing this, the Little Doctor Immortal asked curiously, "What level is it?"
Gu Ni flipped through the iron piece, and after a moment, his eyes widened in surprise, "It's a Mysterious Rank, low-level Technique! It's called Absorbing Palm!"
"What? Mysterious Rank, low-level?"
As soon as these words came out, Jia Lie Ao's body trembled, and he exclaimed in surprise.
What have I done?
He almost gave away a Mysterious Rank Technique?
If my old man found out about this, he'd skin me alive!
"Absorbing Palm: When mastered, it can absorb a thousand-jin boulder. If facing a strong enemy, the ferocious suction force can forcibly extract blood from the body! Sss—"
Gu Ni, who was explaining the Technique, couldn't help but gasp.
Extracting blood from a person's body… This Technique is truly ruthless! "It's actually a Mysterious Rank Technique!"
Hai Bodong, who had been silent, now revealed a trace of surprise on his old face.
This Jia Lie Ao, he's really a fool!
In this small Wutan City, he actually gave away a Mysterious Rank Technique so casually!
That audacity!
Even the three major families of the Jia Ma Empire probably couldn't be this generous!
However, compared to the others' surprise, Qi Yan'er's small face was filled with disdain: "As expected, he's trash. The things a trash gives are also trash, right, Sister Xun'er?"
"Mm."
Xiao Xun'er nodded, showing her agreement.
As the young mistress of the prestigious Gu Clan, she wouldn't even bat an eye at a low-level Mysterious Rank Technique, let alone a low-level Earth Rank one.
"You..."
Seeing their expressions of utter disdain, Jia Lie Ao was instantly enraged: "You actually call a low-level Mysterious Rank Technique trash!"
"Isn't a low-level Mysterious Rank Technique trash?"
Qi Yan'er's eyes widened in surprise, and she said incredulously:
"Hey, you little punk, you've really never seen the world! You treat this trash like a treasure?"
As soon as she said this, not only did Jia Lie Ao freeze, but even Gu Ni, Ya Fei, and even Ice Emperor Hai Bodong lost their composure.
Listen to what she's saying, is that even human language?
They all felt a bit uncertain, could a Mysterious Rank Technique really be trash?
"You..."
Jia Lie Ao clenched his fists in anger, and angrily pointed at Qi Yan'er:
"You stinky girl dares to call a Mysterious Rank Technique trash, huh? What? You can take out an Earth Rank Technique now?"
"Okay~"
Qi Yan'er smiled sweetly, and then reached her small hand into the small wooden box.
"Uh..."
Her little action startled the people around her.
No way? She couldn't possibly actually have it, could she?
"Regardless of what this thing is, it's the thought that counts. I hope Miss Xun'er will accept my apology."
