Chapter 7492: Shopkeeper!

Seeing this, Jiang Feiling waved her hand in front of Li Tianming’s eyes and said, “What are you thinking about, brother? You don’t like her?”

Li Tianming was slightly taken aback, then laughed and said, “Am I that kind of person? I’ve seen too many people like this Zhao Xiyuan. As long as she doesn’t really harm my interests, let her live in her own mental world. As for forming an alliance, I can try if I have the chance, but there’s no need for us to do something like offering our warm face to someone who

doesn’t reciprocate.” “Then what do you think of Jiang Wuqi?” Jiang Feiling blinked again.

“You can know a person’s face but not their heart, but at least from what I see now, he’s quite righteous. Even though the atmosphere was so awkward, he still thought of us. If he’s sincere, then he’s definitely a friend worth making.” Li Tianming smiled slightly.

“Alright, then let’s not think about it too much and continue shopping.” Jiang Feiling said with a smile.

In the following time, the two of them wandered around the Burning Heaven Universe Street, occasionally buying some novel trinkets.

Time passed quickly, and they had already explored a small area, though compared to the entire Burning Heaven Universe Street, it was just a tiny, insignificant patch.

“Brother, should we go take a look over there?” Jiang Feiling seemed to have suddenly spotted something that piqued her interest.

Li Tianming glanced over and saw several stalls by the roadside, displaying necklaces inscribed with Dao arrays.

“Sure, I remember the first gift I gave you was also a necklace.” Li Tianming smiled slightly, then continued, “Back then, you hadn’t regained your memories, and your strength wasn’t great. To help me, you fell into a weakened state, and you used that necklace to reside within me.”

The Love of Tianling!

“You remember so clearly?” Jiang Feiling asked, somewhat surprised.

“Of course. Because of me, you were hurt. I will always remember that time, and I will never let such a thing happen again in the future.” Li Tianming said earnestly.

“Alright, stop being so mushy, let’s go take a look.” Jiang Feiling pulled Li Tianming’s hand and headed towards the shop.

The necklaces displayed at the roadside stalls were actually relatively inexpensive.

Li Tianming and Jiang Feiling entered the shop, finding the surroundings somewhat dimly lit.

The shop’s location was relatively secluded, so the decor wasn’t luxurious, but the merchandise was decent.

Li Tianming could see several necklaces on display, each gleaming and clearly valuable.

However, he wasn’t short of money at the moment and could easily take Jiang Feiling to choose.

“Strange… even though the shop is a bit secluded, there seem to be very few people,” Jiang Feiling said hesitantly, glancing around.

The shop was quite spacious, but there were only a few figures.

Moreover, Li Tianming couldn’t see their faces; they all seemed to have their backs to him from every angle.

In the corner of the shop, there was only one person whose face Li Tianming could see clearly.

Judging from their attire, this appeared to be the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was short and stout, with a mustache and an oily face; his eyes were squeezed small by his fat.

His appearance was truly indescribable.

As Li Tianming shifted his gaze to examine the items on the display stand, the shopkeeper’s eyes seemed to turn towards him.

The moment he saw Jiang Feiling, his gaze suddenly sharpened, seemingly stunned by her beauty.

But this look was quickly concealed, as if no one in the entire shop noticed.

At this time, Li Tianming and Jiang Feiling were still selecting necklaces, paying no attention to anything unusual.

The short, stout shopkeeper, however, took the initiative to approach Li Tianming.

“Shopkeeper, is there something you need?” Li Tianming raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at the greasy-looking shopkeeper with a sudden, inexplicable sense of disgust.

“Haha, nothing much, just that you look unfamiliar, young friend, and I’m curious if you’re not a local of Fengxu, are you?” The shopkeeper’s face twitched as he spoke.

“So what if I am, so what if I’m not?” Li Tianming’s expression was calm and indifferent.

“The difference is huge. There’s an insurmountable gap between people from the outer regions and those from the inner regions. Sometimes, even the top figures from the outer regions wouldn’t dare to be arrogant when they encounter locals from the inner regions.” The short, stout shopkeeper rubbed his palms on his clothes, his smile almost blinding, and a glint of shrewdness seemed to flash between his eyes. He continued, “Young friend, you haven’t responded. Could it be that you’re actually from the outer regions?”

“So what if I’m from the outer regions? You’re a businessman. As long as I can afford the money, that’s fine,” Li Tianming said, his brows slightly furrowed.

“What you say makes sense,” the short, stout shopkeeper chuckled. “This time of year is precisely when the second round of the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War is about to begin. And for someone your age to appear in Fengxu at this time, could you perhaps be a participant in the second round of the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War?”

“A businessman shouldn’t need to know his customers so thoroughly, should he?” Li Tianming said even more coldly.

He wasn’t surprised that the other party could guess this. People from the outer regions who came to Fengxu had very obvious characteristics.

However, this person seemed to have ulterior motives, which made Li Tianming slightly wary.

Seeing that Li Tianming didn’t seem to have any intention of revealing information, the short, stout shopkeeper didn’t press further.

At this moment, his gaze shifted downwards, looking at Li Tianming’s waist, and he thought to himself, “Li Clan… Life… Illusionary Heaven? What is all this! I’ve never heard of such a sect, but they’re usually distinguished by surname…”

Gradually, he seemed to have a guess, his beady eyes darting around, and he said, “Are you from the Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect?”

Upon hearing this, Li Tianming suddenly widened his eyes slightly and asked, “How did you know?”

However, at this moment, the short, stout shopkeeper didn’t respond, but instead instantly grabbed a Dao Array Core.

Boom boom boom!!!

In an instant, all the exits around the shop seemed to be smashed down by countless huge star stones controlled by Dao Arrays, completely sealing them off!

In just a moment, the entire shop was sealed off, plunging into darkness!

In this secluded shop location, no one noticed this scene at all.

“Heh…” A chilling laugh suddenly echoed from the darkness. The voice sneered, “Sects distinguished by surname are just a few types. You can guess them easily. Your Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect, I wonder which sect you’re from? It doesn’t really matter whether you guess or not.”

“Who are you?” Li Tianming frowned, but remained calm.

“Me? Zhang Kui! But whether you know who I am or not is irrelevant. Anyway, your worthless life as a foreigner is about to end, so knowing anything is meaningless!” Zhang Kui said with a cold laugh.
