The item I identified is very strange.

Chapter 30 An Encounter in the Alley

"Do you need my help?"

The purple-haired boss stood to the side with a strange expression.

Xia Fan shook his head: "No need."

He didn't want anyone to touch the sword, even though he knew the other party wouldn't notice anything amiss, he still wanted to keep it a secret.

Suddenly, he wondered if using a spatial ring would work.

Thinking this, he looked at the scattered purple moods and pretended to pick up the real purple moods next to him. His thoughts shifted and landed on the ancient Heaven-Opening Greatsword.

It works!

Xia Fan saw that the ancient Heaven-Opening Great Sword had disappeared into thin air. He briefly sensed the space in the ring and found that the purple Mood Coin was already inside.

"Boss, the bill is ready."

Xia Fan stood up with a smile.

The purple-haired boss didn't notice anything unusual. There were too many purple fragments scattered on the ground, and he hadn't noticed anything amiss when he was behind Xia Fan.

"Including the glass damage, it'll cost you two thousand."

two thousand?

What a shrewd businessman.

Xia Fan suddenly felt a pang of regret, but then he thought about it and realized that he had obtained the Ancient Heaven-Opening Greatsword for only two thousand coins, which was beyond just a bargain.

With that thought in mind, he paid, picked up the packaged black plastic bag, and left the shop.

The purple-haired shopkeeper watched Xia Fan leave and shook his head: "That old man is really strange. He's so old, what kind of young girls can he find? Even if you offer him money, I'm afraid no one will be willing."

Thinking this, he was just about to put on his headphones when he suddenly saw a beautiful young woman in a super short leather jacket running towards the old man outside the window.

The purple-haired boss's expression froze: "What, on what grounds?"

He immediately realized that the old man had probably bought the purple "Mood" gift for the young girl.

Inside the shop, the sound of heartbreak suddenly echoed.

……

Xia Fan walked out of the shop, his face filled with excitement.

Although he spent a lot of money, he finally obtained the Ancient Heaven-Opening Greatsword, which was an unimaginable trump card for him.

When I get back, I'll try out the Void Sword Control Technique to see if I can control this sword.

Just then, he saw Chen Xiaoxue running over: "Old Deng, didn't I tell you to wait where you are? Come with me, I've talked to them."

With that, she turned and walked into the alleyway covered in graffiti.

"Old Deng, what's in that black plastic bag of yours?"

Walking down the street, Chen Xiaoxue turned around and asked.

Xia Fan's lips twitched slightly. He glanced at the trash can next to him and casually tossed the food in. "It's nothing. I just bought some food, it's all garbage."

Chen Xiaoxue didn't suspect anything, but when Xia Fan was throwing away the trash, she suddenly noticed that Xia Fan was wearing a very familiar ring.

Chen Xiaoxue didn't ask any further questions. It was normal for the rings to look similar. After looking away, she said, "I've already made arrangements. We can go in and meet them now."

fair enough.

He was only responsible for lying down, and Chen Xiaoxue took care of everything else.

They walked along the graffiti-covered alley and soon arrived at the basketball court.

Several young men and women with dyed hair were seen playing around on the basketball court. When they shot, they would aim for the basket from across the entire court, and they were almost always successful.

They really are all delinquents...

Xia Fan suddenly realized that Chen Xiaoxue, this rebellious girl, was actually normal, while the people on the basketball court were all dressed in strange clothes and looked quite odd.

"Xiaoxue, the person you asked me to protect, it couldn't be this old man, could it?"

The curly-haired girl with smoky makeup jumped down from a few building pillars and looked at Xia Fan with a strange and slightly disgusted expression.

Chen Xiaoxue looked up and glanced at the curly-haired girl: "Do you have a problem with that?"

After noticing Chen Xiaoxue's attitude, the curly-haired girl paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Xiaoxue, don't be angry. I was just asking."

Chen Xiaoxue withdrew her gaze: "Old Deng, this is Ziyu, a sixth-level martial artist. During this time, when you're not opening the shop, try to come and see her as much as possible. She will be responsible for protecting you."

Xia Fan nodded slightly. It's certainly good to have someone protecting you.

Chen Xiaoxue, wearing black leather shoes, walked to Xia Fan's side and lowered her voice: "By the way, Lao Deng, remember not to reveal that you have a foot fetish."

Xia Fan's face darkened. He wasn't a foot fetishist at all!

That's simply because of the recognition effect!

Why?

Xia Fan was even more curious as to why Chen Xiaoxue had reminded him.

"You'll understand soon enough. I have other things to do. You can talk to them first, and then you can go back on your own."

After Chen Xiaoxue finished speaking, she turned around and unleashed her blood energy, leaving at a very fast speed.

Xia Fan withdrew his gaze and looked at Zi Yu.

Zi Yu raised her head high and said, "Old man, don't worry. Since Xiao Xue mentioned it to me, I will protect you. By the way, you can call me Sister Yu. In the northeast area of ​​the back alley, my name, Sister Yu, is quite well-known. You won't regret calling me Sister Yu."

Xia Fan froze, then blurted out, "Sister Yu from Northeast China?"

Zi Yu was slightly taken aback, then smiled and nodded: "Old man, I like that title."

Xia Fan was speechless. He didn't even care about being called an old man, but the name "Sister Yu from Northeast China" was really quite intoxicating.

Just then, Zi Yu's gaze suddenly fell on the young man sitting on the basketball court next to her. This young man had dyed yellow hair, and his gaze seemed to be on a woman with a distinctive style who was passing by.

Zi Yu's gaze sharpened, and blood energy erupted from her body. At the same time, she kicked out, throwing off the short boots she was wearing.

The ankle boot flew out at lightning speed, hitting the young man in the face. Immediately afterward, Zi Yu rushed in front of him, extending her foot: "Still looking? Looking closer, huh? Here, eat. Want some pie? Are you bringing pie?"

"I was looking at her legs, I was really looking at her legs, um..."

Before the young man could finish speaking, his mouth was stuffed full.

Xia Fan stood there, trembling uncontrollably. This woman was completely different from Chen Xiaoxue; she clearly had a certain allure.

Who could stand having their mouth stomped on by a foot?

Ziyu quickly turned around: "Old man, tell me, who did you offend?"

Didn't Chen Xiaoxue say anything?

Xia Fan thought for a moment, then decided not to reveal the truth, and instead asked, "Can you defeat a martial arts master?"

Zi Yu paused slightly as she stepped on the young man's mouth, then chuckled, "Old man, are you still half asleep? Putting aside the consequences of offending a martial arts master, if one were to cause you trouble, why would Xiao Xue have brought you here?"

It seems that no one here can match a martial arts master.

Xia Fan asked casually, just to test the waters, but it made sense, since if there were so many martial arts masters in the back alley, they wouldn't be staying here.

He chatted casually for a few more minutes, then left the alley and took a bus back home.

He couldn't wait to find a place to study the ancient, heaven-opening greatsword in detail.

……

Zhang Long kept running through the alley, his body covered in blood.

It was those people from the Thunder Gate who brought him to this state. Ever since the blood sacrifice failed that day, his luck has been terrible.

He originally planned to join forces with the people of Buddhism and Taoism, but when he started looking for people with the photos, he was run into by the people of Thunder Gate.

Damn it, it's all that weird old man's fault that day!

As night falls, many places become lively and crowded, and Zhang Long likes to choose these places to go.

Finally, he ran into the old residential area, found a deserted alley, and prepared to rest there for a while.

He took out the photo again, looked at Chen Xiaoxue in her leather jacket eating a lollipop, and gradually frowned: "This little beauty is quite hard to find."

He initially thought that such a pretty girl must be quite famous, but he hasn't been able to find any information about her since.

He put the photos away again, preparing to recover from his injury, but at that moment, he saw an old man passing by the side of the parking shed.

The memories in my head instantly resurfaced.

He recalled the scene where Xia Fan took the plate and smashed the device.

Zhang Long's pupils suddenly contracted.

It's this old man!
