Why did I, a superman, go to cultivate immortals?

Chapter 27

Wang Ting has always wanted to speculate on other people's thoughts with good intentions, but it is not naive.

The so-called county guard and city lord did not hesitate to spend and mobilize official forces to capture Bai Lingqin. From Wang Ting's point of view, it was obviously not a good idea.

He just felt a little upset, and besides that, it seemed that there was a deeper cloud of suspicion surrounding him.

Although he didn't feel too much pressure, Wang Ting still felt a sense of urgency.

"Take a break, go shopping first, and then I will find an opportunity to go directly to the city lord's mansion! I want to see what tricks that guy is playing!"

Fist is Wang Ting's biggest reliance. Facing such an obvious conspiracy, as far as the resources he can mobilize, if he doesn't use force, he probably won't be able to pull off any tricks in front of the opponent.

Then let the other party have a "friendly exchange" with his iron fist, Wang Ting thought so.

As for whether or not to bring Bai Lingqin, let's talk about it later.

After a little calculation, the two walked out of the inn again, taking advantage of the time before night. Now, it's time to go to the bookstore.

This world does not monopolize knowledge as Wang Ting imagined in the ancient times. According to Bai Lingqin, in the bookstores in the city, apart from the "Four Books and Five Classics" that are sold all the year round, there are other kinds of miscellaneous books and story books. Brochures are also for sale.

Of course, it is said to be sold casually, but compared to the expenses of ordinary people, such things as books can be regarded as "luxury goods".

Therefore, thanks to this, generally bookstores will only be opened in big cities with enough rich people. As for places like towns, there may be, but at least that kind of place didn't exist before.

Therefore, when a child like Wang Ting, who can't be said to be well-dressed, entered the store, it was even more surprising.

Rather, if he entered any store alone, it would inevitably surprise people.

Of course, Bai Lingqin is still in a state of concealment.

"Go, go, where did you come from, you little brat, you can't come in here, just go and play!"

Obviously, not everyone is the kind of nice and amiable existence.

The boss in fancy clothes saw Wang Ting walking in from the outside, and immediately wanted to wave his hands away.

It's not that he thinks that Wang Ting is young, after all, it's not like he hasn't seen those young masters from rich families go shopping. This boss just simply dislikes Wang Ting's poverty.

"Since I've entered your shop, I have something to buy. It's good for you. If you don't say anything, you will drive me away. Didn't you get your business through your sister's marriage?"

Seeing the boss talking like this, Wang Ting naturally wouldn't be so polite, opened his mouth, and a series of mocking words spit out from the child's mouth.

"You! Well, you beggar, you really need to clean up!"

The effect of these words was even better than Wang Ting had imagined. To be honest, he really did not expect the businessman who opened the shop to be so glassy.

Seeing the boss's flushed face, Wang Ting's eyes suddenly turned subtle.

"Don't say the last sentence casually, could it be that I hit the mark?"

It really is.

Originally, it was just a trash talk sarcasm, but it hit the boss's key point, that is to say, this person's ability to do a bookseller business here is indeed a delay to the blessing of his married sister or younger sister.
"Find a fight!"

Wang Ting's suppressed smile was undoubtedly another taunt, and the boss picked up a broom, walked around the counter, and raised his hand to whip it at Wang Ting.

But halfway through the swing, the broom's castration was stopped, and the fist that Wang Ting was about to stretch out also stopped abruptly.

"It's not too generous to care about such a child."

"Scared! Mr. Zhou!"

The boss was startled, and then quickly put the broom behind him, bent over, and made a flattering look.

"I'm afraid that this poor boy will dirty your eyes if he stays here. If you see dirty things, it will inevitably spoil your mood for a day."

"It's clear that you were the one who made the provocation first. I just want to buy something. What's wrong?"

Wang Ting refuted.

The man called "Young Master Zhou" shook his head while listening to the two parties talking.

"This is your mistake, boss."

Afterwards, the young man looked down at Wang Ting, not very friendly, but spoke in a somewhat formulaic tone.

"The cause of this matter is that the boss is wrong. How about this, you can choose three booklets at random in the store, and I will pay for it."

"How dare you!"

Hearing this, the young man turned his head.

"So, the boss is not going to give me some face in Zhou?"

"Okay okay."

The boss's expression froze and he could only bow his head in agreement.

"I agreed."

This is a cheap pick, and Wang Ting has no intention of rejecting it.

"Since that's the case, I'll go ahead, boss, and I'll charge it to my account later."

Seeing that the matter was resolved, the man didn't pay any more attention, and walked out of the store accompanied by guards.

"Fortunately, you kid, you met the kind-hearted Mr. Zhou, hurry up and choose a book, go back and burn incense!"

Although he felt that the boss was very annoying, Wang Ting would not let go of the opportunity to collect information.

He walked to the edge of the shelf, looked at the dazzling array of books, tugged at Bai Lingqin who had been silently following her, and then passed his hand into her palm, signaling her to use her own hands to choose by herself, and at the same time kept talking.

"Who is the eldest son this week?"

"?"

The boss who had returned to his counter and was about to be in a daze heard this question, his face inevitably had some doubts, and then he put on a trace of sarcasm.

"Where did you come from, you don't even recognize the city lord?"

"City lord? Is it the Le'an City lord?"

"Then who else is there, go, go, don't bother me, just choose quickly and get out of here!"

Because Mr. Zhou stopped him before, now the boss doesn't dare to drive people away.

This information made Wang Ting's eyes shine, and at the same time, he had more calculations in his heart.

Bai Lingqin's actions in selecting books were quite nimble, because the purpose was relatively clear, so it didn't take much time for her to complete the selection of books.

In fact, if these books hadn't been sealed, with Bai Lingqin's photographic memory, she probably wouldn't have bought them.

Wang Ting took the three books and glanced at them.

"Food Treasures", "Summary of Women's Red Techniques", "Housekeeping Overview"

It should include cooking and other housework, which can be regarded as some tool books.

And the boss didn't bother to look at the specific books he took, seeing that the numbers matched, he let Wang Ting leave quickly.

"Let me find out where Young Master Zhou is."

After leaving the bookstore, Wang Ting said to Bai Lingqin.
