8 Chad stall owner
Xiao Chen, having already employed the 'villain's eye' while Ye Fan conversed with the old man, observed keenly.
[Name: Ye Fan
Status: Inner disciple of the peerless heaven sword sect and young master of the immortal Ye family
Cultivation: Divine Awakening Early Stage
Physique: Great Divine Yang body
Destiny: 3400]
Xiao Chen was a tad surprised upon witnessing that Ye Fan had already attained the Divine Awakening realm.
After scrutinizing this revelation for a while, he promptly shifted his attention to the Jade pendant, and avarice gleamed in his eyes.
When Xiao Chen utilized the 'plot viewing ticket,' he was already acquainted with all aspects related to Ye Fan, understanding that the Jade pendant served as a major support for his ascent.
After all, it not only harbored a potent soul but also preserved the arrangements and connections Ye Zhiqiang made for his son before his demise.
One of the reasons he desired to meet Ye Fan was to employ the 'villain's eye' on Ji Rongmei to discern her details.
Because the 'plot viewing ticket' only permitted insights until Ye Fan ascended to the upper realm.
After Ye Fan ascended, everything became vague, as if something prevented comprehensive knowledge.
Xiao Chen could only perceive significant events related to Ye Fan and lacked complete information about the upper realm.
He speculated that it might be heaven's doing or that his strength was insufficient.
When he queried the system, it merely provided an ambiguous response, emphasizing the need for increased strength.
Upon confirming one thing, that the 'plot viewing ticket' could, at the least, furnish him with knowledge about the Middle Three Thousand Dao Realm.
Cultivation realms in the Middle Three Thousand Dao Realm were categorized into :
Cave Mansion Unveiling Realm,
Nascent Soul Forging Realm,
Celestial Metamorphosis Realm,
Dharma Enlightenment Realm,
Nirvana Ascension Realm,
Body Integration Realm,
Void Tribulation Realm,
Transcend Tribulation Realm.
As Xiao Chen regained his awareness, he noticed that Ye Fan was on the verge of concluding his activities.
Without delay, he employed the 'villain's eye' on Ye Fan's Jade pendant.
[Name: Ji Rongmei
Status: General of the Immortal Ye family and Sole Survivor of the Immortal Ji clan in the upper realm
Current Cultivation: Mysterious Platform Middle Stage
Former cultivation: [Above Transcend Tribulation Realm]
Physique: Inferno Lotus Sacred Heritage
Destiny: 6100]
Observing her panel, Xiao Chen wasn't startled, for he was already acquainted with most of the details.
The information regarding her physique and destiny value particularly intrigued him.
In the plot, Ye Fan is associated with only two women, Tang Jingxue and Ji Rongmei.
He believed it was either due to his affection for them or as a deterrent for his two women.
However, it became evident that he couldn't bear it, given the formidable physique both women possessed.
One reason why Ye Fan and Ji Rongmei became closer was their shared affinity for the same type of physique.
Ye Fan and Rongmei possessed an extreme fire-type physique, while Jingxue, with an extreme ice-type physique, completed the trio.
Contemplating this revelation, an evil smirk crept onto Xiao Chen's face as he pondered,
"Brother Ye, since you can't endure it, allow me to attend to them."
While immersed in his thoughts, Ye Fan left the stall. Ji Rongmei, residing in the Jade Pendant, sensed scrutiny upon her.
As Ye Fan turned around, Ji Rongmei observed Xiao Chen who greeted them with a smile.
She was left in a daze because, despite encountering numerous instances of arrogance in the upper realm, she had never witnessed someone as peerless as him.
Her amazement wasn't solely due to that; she also realized she couldn't discern his true nature, except for the fact that he was in the Divine Awakening Peak stage – a detail he made no effort to conceal.
Beside him stood Tang Jingxue, possessing a beauty that rivaled her own.
Ji Rongmei couldn't help but feel an inexplicable curiosity about these two individuals.
Unaware of these events, Ye Fan, upon seeing the young man before him, experienced a surge of disgust as if encountering his life and death enemy, accompanied by a trace of killing intent in his heart, and didn't bother to return the greeting.
He quickly concealed it, but his attempt didn't escape the keen eyes of Xiao Chen and Ji Rongmei.
As for Jingxue, upon glimpsing Ye Fan, she vaguely remembered him but didn't pay him much attention, following Xiao Chen's advice not to reveal herself in front of sect members.
she was dejected because Xiao Chen refrained her from shopping.
Initiating his plan, Xiao Chen scrutinized items, eventually picking up an ancient and tattered treasure. He then inquired with the old man
"If young master desires this, this old man shall grant it freely."
"No need. This is a storage bag containing 2000 low-grade spirit stones, take it"
Ye Fan who was witnessing the scene, felt a burst of anger welled up within him. He approached the old man and shouted,
"Old man, I requested that. Why are you selling it to others? I have 1100 spirit stones here."
Hearing this, the old man responded with righteous indignation,
"your product? Who declared it was yours? Did you not claim to be a poor villager with only 850 low-grade spirit stones?"
At this time, a crowd gathered to witness the unfolding excitement.
Xiao Chen, previously silent, suddenly asked with a stunned expression from the side.
"Old senior, what is transpiring? Brother Ye Fan is an inner disciple of our sect."
Hearing this, the old man was shocked. He cursed Ye Fan's entire ancestral tree, realizing that if Ye Fan had disclosed his status, the deception wouldn't have occurred.
"Jie jie jie, If you choose to behave in this manner, then don't blame the old man for his unrighteousness." The old man thought inwardly.
The old man, in an act of submission, knelt before Ye Fan, tears streaming down his face, and pleaded,
"Young man, please forgive this old man."
" Had I known thy status as a disciple of the peerless heaven sword sect, I wouldn't have contested the price".
"Please Spare my life, As I have a sick wife and three children waiting at home."
In essence, he portrayed a pitiable stall owner who had been tricked and was now worried about his family's well-being.
As his voice echoed through the bazaar, people gathered around the stall, engaging in discussions.
Upon witnessing this, Xiao Chen gave the old man a thumbs-up in his heart.
Ye Fan, noting many people staring at him with contemptuous and mocking eyes, became further enraged.
"Old man, are you suggesting that I attempted to deceive you?"
he uttered through gritted teeth and red eyes When he heard the old man framing him
Before the old man could respond, Xiao Chen interjected with a smile.
"Brother Ye Fan, this old man has acknowledged his mistake"
"Let us forgive him," Xiao Chen interjected with a conciliatory tone.
Xiao Chen didn't wish for any further revelations because people were already paying attention to the stall because him had gathered and started shouting
"I observed that the young man concealed his identity as a disciple of the sect, claiming to be a poor villager with only 850 spirit stones."
"Yes, this guy is quite cunning. He concealed his identity and deceived the old man with the cost."
"When someone bought the product, he suddenly claimed to have 1100 spirit stones."
"Why are both of them from the same sect? Why is this young man and young master so different?"
As comments swirled around him, Ye Fan's face darkened.
He directed a gaze of hatred towards Xiao Chen, believing that it was because of him that he faced humiliation and lost face that day.
Casting a final glance at the treasure map in Xiao Chen's possession, Ye Fan experienced an empty and lost feeling in his heart, as if that treasure held great importance to him.
In a fit of anger, he left the bazaar, vowing to avenge this humiliation.
Observing Ye Fan's departure, Xiao Chen remained calm, though inwardly, he chuckled.
He immediately expressed his apologies to everyone, clarifying that the incident was an accident.
Furthermore, he attempted to appease the audience for Ye Fan, even though more people harbored disdain for him.
The reason people blamed Ye Fan was due to his status as an inner disciple of the peerless Heaven sword sect.
Inner disciples of the peerless heaven sword sect were provided with 2000 low-grade spirit stones and pills corresponding to their realm each month.
These disciples were known for avoiding bargaining, not out of arrogance, but because anyone with discernment wouldn't attempt to deceive them.
Ye Fan not only failed to reveal his identity but also attempted to deceive the old man while having enough money.
Many didn't care about the truth; they simply wanted to mock Ye Fan out of jealousy.
Observing the situation, Xiao Chen sighed in his heart, realizing that the aura of ridicule associated with the protagonist could be incredibly potent.
