Gu Yunzhi and Xiao Yan aimlessly wandered through the street market, as if time had stood still in the bustling market.
As they walked deeper into the street market, they noticed that the goods here were obviously more precious and rare than those at the entrance. Gu Yunzhi noticed that the people who came here to shop appeared calm and composed, indicating that they held a high status in Utan City.
Xiao Yan is searching for a special magic crystal, his face showing a focused expression. He carefully examines each stall and occasionally exchanges a few words with the merchants.
Gu Yunzhi senses the seriousness of the young man beside him and can't help but smile slightly in his heart.
However, her attention was quickly drawn to an accessory on a stall. She walked over and stopped in front of the stall. Her gaze fell on a light purple necklace, simple yet exuding an elegant beauty.
She reached out and gently touched the necklace, feeling the coolness on her fingertips, which was quite comforting.
Just as Gu Yunzhi was about to buy the necklace, she suddenly remembered that she had already given all her money to Xiao Yan.
She turned around and looked at the young man who was still searching for the magic crystal, feeling a little helpless.
Gu Yunzhi smiled apologetically at the stall owner, put down the bracelet, and returned to Xiao Yan's side. She didn't intend to let Xiao Yan buy the bracelet, after all, it wasn't a necessity.
Suddenly, a clear and hearty laughter came, and a young man dressed in luxurious clothing walked over. His gaze was fixed on Gu Yunzhi, filled with admiration and warmth.
"This beautiful young lady, why are you alone here?" The young man's voice was gentle and polite, his gaze lingering on Gu Yunzhi's face, seemingly deeply attracted by her beauty.
Gu Yunzhi was slightly taken aback, then politely replied, "Thank you for the compliment, but I am not alone." She gestured to Xiao Yan beside her, as if to end this meaningless conversation.
The young man, however, seemed unwilling to give up. He continued, "I am the young master of Utan City, Caleo. If the lady doesn't mind, why not let me introduce some of the specialty products here?"
At this moment, Xiao Yan also noticed the young man who was talking to himself. He frowned slightly and walked over to Gu Yunzhi. His appearance seemed to surprise Caleo.
" Yun Zhi, don't bother with him, let's go," Xiao Yan said.
Caleo's mouth twitched, his fists clenched, showing no intention of letting them go. He made a creaking sound and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes as he stared fiercely at the calm-faced young man in front of him.
With his movements, a group of henchmen standing behind Caleo also tensely took a step forward, subtly surrounding the young man and Caleo with malicious intent in their eyes.
Even in the depths of the street market, the crowd continued to flow, and people around curiously looked over at the commotion.
Xiao Yan and Caleo both have a certain reputation in Utan City. Xiao Yan is mocked as a waste, while Caleo is known as a playboy. Although their reputations are not very good, at least they are somewhat famous in this city.
Facing the threat from Caleo and his group, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and a playful smile appeared on his small face. He slightly turned his head and lightly whistled in the direction of the street market.
As he moved, everyone's gaze unconsciously followed the whistle, only to see the security team of the street market, led by their captain, charging in this direction with great momentum.
The captain and his security team quickly ran over, and with a wave of his hand, the guards immediately surrounded Caleo and his men, instantly creating a tense atmosphere.
"Third Young Master, is there a problem?" The captain walked up behind Xiao Yan, first glanced at Caleo and his group, and then asked respectfully.
Xiao Yan smiled slightly, turned his head to look at the displeased Caleo, and leisurely said, "Young Master Caleo, this street market is the territory of my The Xiao Family. Do you want to start something here?"
Caleo's gaze slightly narrowed, looking at Pain with caution, then turned his head, sneering as he said to Xiao Yan: "Are you only capable of relying on the power of your family? If you were a real man..."
"Do you mean, if I were a real man, I should have a fair competition with you?" Xiao Yan interrupted Caleo with a smile.
Caleo sneered and said without any sign of weakness, "That's right, do you dare to accept the challenge?"
Gu Yunzhi was about to make a move, but Xiao Yan held her back.
Facing Caleo's provocation, Xiao Yan sighed helplessly, lightly touching his forehead. After a moment of contemplation, he raised his head, shrugged slightly, and his expression was filled with innocence and purity: "Young Master Caleo, may I ask how old you are this year?"
Caleo's mouth twitched, and he chose to remain silent with a dark expression.
"Big brother, you're already 21 this year, how old am I? 15! You're actually asking a teenager who hasn't even had a coming-of-age ceremony to duel with you, isn't that a bit embarrassing?"
Xiao Yan said somewhat helplessly, and the expression on his face made Gu Yunzhi beside him couldn't help but smirk.
"Haha."
Xiao Yan's innocent words made some of the mercenaries and merchants in the depths of the street market couldn't help but laugh. Indeed, at Xiao Yan's current age, he was just a naive teenager, while Caleo was already an adult, so this kind of challenge really seemed a bit ridiculous.
The mocking glances around him fell on Caleo like cold water, making him slightly more alert. Xiao Yan's maturity and composure often made people overlook his true age. Reminded, Caleo remembered that the young man in front of him was only fifteen years old.
He gritted his teeth fiercely, glanced at the alert The Xiao Family guards standing behind Xiao Yan, and knew that there was no chance to make a move today. He could only shake his head in frustration and say coldly, "In another year, you'll have your coming-of-age ceremony, won't you? Heh, I can see that you, this waste, after the ceremony, will probably be sent to some remote and poor place. In the future, you probably won't even qualify to enter Utan City, how pitiful."
Xiao Yan gave a faint smile and did not respond, just shrugged lightly.
Caleo's eyelids twitched. For some reason, every time he saw Xiao Yan's calm and composure, a fire ignited in his heart. He thought, "You're just a waste, where did this air of mystery come from?"
He forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, snorted coldly, waved his hand, and led his men to push through the crowd and leave.
Xiao Yan continued to wander in the market with Gu Yunzhi, passing through the bustling flower area, the lively food section, and the antique area filled with various antiques.
The lively and colorful market made Gu Yunzhi very happy, and it also allowed Xiao Yan to see her rare smile.
When they found a relatively quiet corner to sit down and rest, Xiao Yan suddenly took out the necklace he had just bought from his pocket and handed it to Gu Yunzhi.
"This is for you," he said with a smile.
Gu Yunzhi was a little surprised that Xiao Yan had noticed her previous actions and even bought the necklace. "How did you know I liked it?" Gu Yunzhi asked somewhat embarrassed.
"I saw you looking at this necklace again, and it's clear that you really like it," he smiled and reached out, gently putting the necklace on her.
The necklace wrapped around Gu Yunzhi's neck, the cold metallic sensation making her shiver slightly. She looked down at the necklace on her chest, a warm and grateful smile appearing on her face.
Xiao Yan looked at her smile, feeling a warm sensation in her heart.
Gu Yunzhi also noticed that Xiao Yan's affection for Yu Yun had increased from thirty percent to thirty-five percent.
"Ding dong, seized the opportunity to go shopping with Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yan, gained 50,000 gold coins, 20,000 experience points, and obtained one chance to draw a prize."
Afterwards, the two of them passed by several stalls, and Xiao Yan finally stopped at one.
He bent down to carefully examine a green crystal on the stall, which still had some traces of blood on it. Seeing this crystal, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Finally found it."
His palm reached out, intending to grasp the crystal, but suddenly he felt something was amiss. His hand hesitated in the air, and a strange feeling surged in his heart.
Xiao Yan unconsciously licked his lips, but still resolutely picked up the crystal. Then his gaze quickly swept across the stall, as if searching for something.
Before long, his gaze settled on a piece of black iron sheet next to the crystal. The iron piece was quite ancient, covered with rust spots and some dried yellow mud, making it look like an artifact just unearthed from the ground.
Just as Xiao Yan was feeling puzzled by this sensation, the voice of medicine master suddenly sounded in his mind: "Hey, young Yan, buy that piece of black iron sheet too, it's a good thing."
The voice of medicine master made Xiao Yan slightly surprised, but he did not hesitate. He immediately picked up the black iron sheet and was filled with anticipation and curiosity at the words of medicine master.
