Xia qingchen found it very hard to like that commanding attitude.

He still stood with his arms crossed, his expression indifferent. “You suspect

among all the people present, you’re the most free and most likely to steal things while we’re busy. If I don’t suspect you, who should suspect me? ” “Come over, I want to search you!” Elder Xing an berated.

A body search?

I’ve been standing here the entire time, ” Xia qingchen said calmly. how would I have the chance to steal something right under your nose? ‘

In order to avoid suspicion, he always stood far away.

“Won’t we know if it’s you or not after a quick search?” Elder Xing an had the intention to find fault and naturally wouldn’t listen to any explanation.

Manager yang walked over with a trace of anger. elder Xing an, it’s better to investigate clearly first. A body search is an insult.

He believed that Xia qingchen didn’t steal anything.

It was just that perhaps they really shouldn’t have invited Xia qingchen over at this moment. It was because they had coincidentally encountered the most unkind elder Xing an, and also happened to encounter the loss of the goods.

“Shopkeeper yang, I remember you saying that you would be responsible for the loss of the goods, right?” Elder Xing an’s chopstick-like fingers gently rubbed against each other.

His eyes were deep in his eye sockets and he slowly squinted.

Manager yang was at a loss for words.

There had never been a shortage of goods before, and this was the first time.

“Unless you really want to take responsibility, move to the side and watch obediently.” Elder Xing an shouted coldly.

Manager Yang’s lips moved, but he hesitated.

He didn’t wish for Xia qingchen to suffer from an unjust wish. After all, he was the one who had invited Xia qingchen here.

However, that butterfly spirit was worth hundreds of stars!

How could he bear it?

Just as he was hesitating, Xia qingchen’s soft sigh rang out from behind him.

“Elder Xing an, lightly press the top of the butterfly demon’s head three times.”

Elder Xing an frowned, ‘what are you doing? The butterfly spirit is an extremely delicate thing, how can you touch it at will?”

Manager yang also looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Press the butterfly spirit’s head? What was he doing?

“Then you’ll be missing a butterfly demon forever.” Xia qingchen calmly spoke.

With some doubt, elder Xing an opened the Jade box and very carefully tapped the butterfly spirit’s forehead three times with his index finger.

But the butterfly spirit did not show any unusual signs.

“And then?” what? ” elder Xing an had a questioning look on his face, ” you can avoid the body search like this? ”

He was about to walk over and search her body.

Suddenly, he heard a soft rustling sound.

He looked down and saw that it was the butterfly spirit. A colorful liquid was flowing out of its mouth.

The drops of liquid condensed into a smaller butterfly spirit.

Its size, shape, and appearance were obviously the missing butterfly demon.

‘ this … elder falling star was stunned on the spot, unable to understand what was happening.

Manager yang was equally surprised. He had come into contact with the butterfly demon many times, but he had never seen such a strange scene.

He subconsciously turned his gaze toward Xia qingchen. “Young master Xia, this is …”

“The butterfly spirits will devour each other.” Xia qingchen said briefly.

Devouring?

Manager Yang’s eyes were blank, indicating that he had never heard of it.”The butterfly spirit isn’t a living thing. It’s just a liquid that looks like a butterfly.

How can you say it’s devouring?”

The butterfly spirit was a mysterious liquid born by a strange butterfly, not a real butterfly.

Between two liquids, how could they devour each other?

Xia qingchen was expressionless as he explained. there are male and female butterfly spirits as well. Under a suitable temperature, there’s nothing strange about a male butterfly spirit devouring a female.

Previously, elder Xing an had touched the two butterfly demons with his palm. The temperature of his palm caused the male butterfly demon to start devouring the female butterfly demon.

How could it not be strange?

The people present had never heard of such a saying before, yet Xia qingchen spoke with a calm expression.

However, the big Butterfly spirit did spit out the small butterfly spirit just now.

This was enough to prove that Xia qingchen’s words were correct.

Manager yang was surprised and couldn’t help but look at elder Xing an. He sneered, “”Are you still going to search this body?”

After all this, it was a mistake.

It was fortunate that elder falling star had made such a big fuss. It turned out that he was inexperienced and did not know that the butterfly spirit had such a hidden characteristic.

Elder falling star was expressionless as he said indifferently, “”lf there’s something, I’ll change. If there’s nothing, I’ll encourage you.”

The meaning of this sentence was to correct the mistakes pointed out by others if they existed, and to encourage themselves if they didn’t.

When it was used on Xia qingchen, it meant that if he stole something, he would correct it. If he didn’t, he would admonish himself.

He had accused her without any sense of apology. Instead, he acted as if he was doing it for her own good!

“Alright, that’s all for today’s sorting.” Elder Xing an put away the register book and looked at the remaining precious materials with a deep meaning.

However, he wanted to leave.

However, Xia qingchen might not be willing.

“Hold on!” Xia qingchen spoke indifferently.

Elder Xing an cast a sidelong glance at him,”what?” Do you want this old man to apologize to you?”

That attitude, that tone … It was impossible for him to apologize.

it doesn’t matter whether you apologize or not. I don’t care. Would Xia qingchen care about that little bit of apology?

“Hmph!” Elder Xing an snorted and walked away, ignoring him.

elder Xing an, ” Xia qingchen calmly continued. I want to correct a few of the materials that elder Xing an has appraised wrongly.

Upon hearing this, shopkeeper yang, shopkeeper Zhou, and the others felt their hearts tighten.

It was not a small matter to make an error in the appraisal of materials.

If they were to sell precious materials as inferior materials and were found out, the relevant people of the heavenly star Hall would have to accept the punishment of the sect.

The degree of punishment was determined by the losses.

However, they felt relieved.

Those precious materials had been personally appraised by elder Xing an, so what mistake could there be?

However, they didn’t notice the trace of panic that flashed past elder Xing an’s eyes.

He turned around and scolded, “ignorant child, how dare you question my appraisal?” Get lost immediately!”

As an elder of the star Lord’s peak, it was no big deal for him to berate a low-level disciple.

However, manager yang and the others could sense that something was amiss.

Was elder Xing an’s expression too excited?

“Young master Xia, have you discovered something?” Manager yang asked.

Xia qingchen stood at his original spot and calmly said, “”ln the ninth Jade box, it’s not white-headed ginseng, but snow whisker Emperor ginseng.”

The white-headed ginseng was worth ten stars.

The snow whisker Emperor ginseng was worth 80 stars!

Manager yang was taken aback. He was about to ask when Xia qingchen continued, “”ln the tenth Jade box, it’s not the tearful bluestone, but the profound feather flower stone.”

The former was a low-grade material, only worth twenty stars.

The latter was a legendary divine stone that only existed in books and was

worth 100 stars!

“The twelfth Jade box …”

Xia qingchen consecutively pointed out five Jade boxes with problems.

It was filled with the most expensive materials in this batch.

Elder Xing an’s pupils contracted, and his eyes were filled with shock and hatred.

It was obvious that elder Xing an had not made a mistake in the appraisal of all five Jade boxes.

It was intentional.

Intentionally appraising a valuable item as a low-grade item.

Then, he would send people to buy all these things at a low price and obtain astonishing profits from it.

However, he had never thought that he could not hide from a young man even though he had deceived so many shopkeepers!

you’re truly ignorant and fearless. You actually dare to question my appraisal results. I admire your courage. Of course, elder Xing an naturally wouldn’t admit it and had a condescending attitude.

He would only watch one chapter today and make up for it at the fourth chapter tomorrow..
