“Are you not satisfied? Then I’ll help Sect Master Jiang pick something out.”
“It’s okay, we can do it ourselves.” Jiang Yun quickly refused and began to flip through the book. He paused at every page. Among them, there was a hairpin that Qin Xiaoxi had noticed a few times.
This hairpin had an extremely beautiful light blue color, and its surface was decorated with some sparkling decorations.
The hairpin was also slightly streamlined. The hairpin decoration was also very beautiful, but not luxurious. It was obviously much better looking than those rustic gold and jade hairpins.
Jiang Yun stopped at the page of the hairpin, but there was no price tag on it.
“This hairpin is not bad.” Jiang Yun looked at the light blue hairpin on the book. Qin Xiaoxi was also very surprised. She was very curious how Jiang Yun knew that she thought it looked good.
“Sect Master Jiang, you have great taste. Currently, there is only one of these hairpins in the shop. The material of this hairpin is polished from the sapphire mined in Moon Spiritual Mountain and decorated with crystal shards. It is perfect for a young woman like the Madam,” the clerk was enraptured and introduced.
“How much is it then? And this silver bracelet with diamond shards. I want it to be included,” Jiang Yun quickly asked.
Qin Xiaoxi, who was standing at the side, hurriedly cleared her throat.
“Since Sect Master Jiang is here today, I must give you a good price. How about 20 gold coins for this hairpin and bracelet?”
Jiang Yun nodded. “Then you can go down and get it.”
“Yes, Sect Master! Please wait a moment!” After saying that, the clerk ran to the back of the hall.
“Are you crazy? 20 gold coins!” Qin Xiaoxi stared at Jiang Yun and whispered in his ear.
“Isn’t this...” Before he finished, the clerk ran out and put two exquisite jewelry boxes in front of them.
This speed made Jiang Yun sweat a little. If it were any other time, he would have to wait for a while.
“Here it is!” the clerk said.
Jiang Yun gently moved the hairpin and silver bracelet inside and placed them in front of Qin Xiaoxi.
“Do you like it, my wife?” Jiang Yun raised his eyebrows slightly and teased Qin Xiaoxi with a faint smile.
Qin Xiaoxi had goosebumps when she heard the word “wife”. Since the clerk was beside her, she only lightly hammered Jiang Yun with a red face. Jiang Yun, I’ll settle the score with you after I’m done with my business! Qin Xiaoxi cursed in her heart.
Even though she cursed in her heart, she had to admit that this hairpin was indeed very beautiful. Of course, this included the silver bracelet that Jiang Yun had picked together. Qin Xiaoxi’s eyes flickered slightly, then she nodded to indicate that she liked it.
At this moment, Qin Xiaoxi was like a shy girl. She no longer had that arrogant and lively look of a second young miss.
Jiang Yun also nodded with a faint smile. After paying, he ordered the clerk to pack it.
Now was the time.
While the clerk was packing, Jiang Yun hurriedly asked.
“Let me ask you something. Has a group of foreigners come to Thunder City recently?”
When the clerk heard this, he was stunned for a while, then he said, “Yes, this group of foreigners came to our city not long ago. What’s the matter, Sect Master?”
“Well, it’s nothing. Recently, the shops in the city have been closed, and many rumors are going around, saying that this group of foreigners controlled many of the shops in the city.”
“It’s true. This group of people is dressed very strangely, and they even communicate with each other in private using words that I don’t understand. There’s even a woman among them. That woman’s clothes are very strange, and she seems to be somewhat flirtatious and mysterious. She always wears a veil, and the face under the veil had sharp features. It’s also strange that she has red hair.”
Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi also looked at each other after hearing this.
“You think it’s strange too, don’t you? I’ve never seen red hair before. These people don’t look like good people.”
The clerk shook his head immediately.
“That’s true. Then why did they come here?” Jiang Yun thought that the clerk’s words were a great breakthrough.
“Well, I wasn’t the one who received them at that time. They searched for a long time in the warehouse as if they were looking for some extremely precious medicinal herbs, but I don’t know what they were.” The clerk shook his head awkwardly.
“Didn’t they stay there all the time?”
“No, they couldn’t find what they wanted, so they left.”
Jiang Yun nodded.
“Does your Pavilion Master know about this?”
“The Pavilion Master had disappeared ten years ago, look at what you are asking.” The clerk seemed to feel that Jiang Yun was joking, so they laughed together simply and honestly. “Then, Sect Master? Is there anything else I can help you with?”
“No, thank you.” Jiang Yun nodded. Then, he winked at Qin Xiaoxi, indicating for them to leave the Emerald Pavilion first.
“Take care, you two! You must live a long and happy life together!”
The clerk didn’t forget to remind them when they left.
Jiang Yun carried the gifts and walked out with Qin Xiaoxi quickly.
“Hey...” Not long after they walked out, Jiang Yun’s back was hammered by Qin Xiaoxi. Her face turned red with anger. She pouted and threw another punch with all her strength.
“Ah? What are you doing?” Jiang Yun tried to dodge, but Qin Xiaoxi was unwilling to let him go.
“Wife, right? How dare you take advantage of me by calling me that,” Qin Xiaoxi said and hammered Jiang Yun’s arm again. Qin Xiaoxi pursed her lips tightly, but for some reason, she was not angry. Her cheeks were slightly red, and she had a strange expression.
“Darn it, I only said that twice. Isn’t this to get information?”
“Look, he has nothing to do with those people. I think you did it on purpose!” Qin Xiaoxi stopped attacking and slowed down her pace to walk behind Jiang Yun.
“It’s the first time someone has called me that in my entire life. I’ll remember you, darn you, Jiang Yun,” Qin Xiaoxi cursed from behind. Fortunately, there were no pedestrians on the road. For some reason, Jiang Yun felt that although Qin Xiaoxi was rude, she was somewhat cute.
“Alright, don’t be angry. Didn’t I buy you a present?” Jiang Yun smiled cheekily and waved the bag in front of Qin Xiaoxi. Then, he took out the silver bracelet.
“Humph. No.” Qin Xiaoxi quickly gave him a dirty look.
“Come, give me your right hand..” Before she could react, Jiang Yun had already gently grabbed Qin Xiaoxi’s wrist.
