The Ancestor of our Sect Isn't Acting like an Elder Chapter 111

Chapter 111: 111

111 – Black Market

It’s commonplace for an a.s.sa.s.sin to apply poison on their dagger .

“Take a guess . ”

North sneered, non-committal .

Shui Yun’er turned her head and stared straight at the other party . If something happens to Xue Qilin, she’ll draw her blade and fight the man in front of her . Well, she definitely would .

North gazed at her silently, unconcerned about the hostility in her gaze .

As the atmosphere was getting heavier…

“Well, never mind, those inferior things you use won’t kill me . ”

Xue Qilin continued to bite the fruit flesh as if nothing happened .

Doesn’t seem to be poisoned… Seeing the la.s.s eat with relish, Shui Yun’er felt slightly relieved .

Have some as well – after he said this, North used the dagger to pick up a piece of fruit flesh and tossed it towards the water-colored girl .

“Thank you . ”

Shui Yun’er caught the piece of fruit flesh .

Its texture is very strange . It’s soft and dense, resembling lard a little .

Do I eat it? Shui Yun’er hesitated for a while . When she saw that North had already taken a bite, she drummed up her courage and bit the fruit flesh .

Both of them showed strange expressions at the same time .

It has a nice, creamy texture, but the taste is strange .

Shui Yun’er stared at the fruit flesh in her hand . She really doesn’t know what to make of this strange flavor .

The two gazed at Xue Qilin who has already finished eating her piece of fruit flesh as if she is a rare beast .

At this time, she is licking the creamy pulp remaining on her fingers with her tender, red tongue .

“Hmm? What’s wrong? Why have you stopped? It’s delicious!”

Taking note of the expression in their eyes, Xue Qilin asked, surprised .

“This… Young Teacher, this taste can only be appreciated by those with a refined palate . ”

Shui Yun’er showed a bitter, apologetic smile .

“What… you don’t know what’s good!”

Xue Qilin took the piece of fruit flesh from Shui Yun’er, discontented .

Probably not interested in this weird-tasting fruit, North placed his piece of fruit flesh on the counter, and then took out a handkerchief from who knows where and wiped his fingers clean .

“The clothes you asked me to make will soon be ready . ”

Hearing North say that, Xue Qilin’s eyes suddenly brightened .

“So soon?”

“Well, I’m a bit stumped regarding the thing you call “lace” . I can’t find a fabric with a similar texture . ”

“Hey, that’s an important part!”

Xue Qilin sighed in disappointment .

A while back, the la.s.s ordered two sets of maid costumes – one for Qi Qiqi and one for Gong Tianqing – from North . As for the reason why, there is no need to spell it out .

Of course she has drawn the design herself .

Considering that the modern maid costume is not compatible with this era’s aesthetics, she added many Chinese elements . Although she hasn’t studied fas.h.i.+on design, but she knows a thing or two about it . What’s more, there are many styles of maid costumes – j.a.panese-style, Chinese-style, and others . Xue Qilin thinks that her design isn’t too bad .

But can a maid costume without lace be called a maid costume? A maid costume must have lace . This is Xue Qilin’s bottom line .

However, if it can’t be obtained, then Xue Qilin has no choice . She doesn’t know how lace is woven .

“If you can’t find it, then find something else to replace it . You are more knowledgeable about this than I am . ”

North made an “mhm” sound .

“That’s right, I also want a set made for my disciple . ”

Xue Qilin stroked her chin and lowered her head in contemplation .

“Um, let me see… use white and blue colors!”

North frowned and scrutinized Shui Yun’er’s whole body .

At this moment, Shui Yun’er feels like the other person’s eyes can penetrate her clothes, giving her the illusion that she is completely naked before him .

After withdrawing his gaze, North opened a notebook and started writing down something .

“Got it . ”

North put the brush aside .

“Mhm . Having said that, there is still one other thing I want to ask you . ”

“… I’ve already investigated it . ”

The words “investigated it” made Xue Qilin’s eyebrows flutter .

“Who?”

She bit at a piece of fruit flesh and asked, looking cold and indifferent .

“The sole daughter of Shadow Gate’s Gate Master – Black Cat . ”

For the first time, North’s tone betrayed a human emotion, the emotion of fear .

Xue Qilin knows the object of his fears . It’s none other than Shadow Gate’s Gate Master – a Heaven Realm a.s.sa.s.sin who can kill people without any forewarning .

“What’s the real name?”

“a.s.sa.s.sins don’t have real names . And even if they do, they won’t disclose them to others . ”

“Oh . Called Black Cat, hmm?”

North nodded silently, and then advised in an knowledgeable tone: “I advise that you dismiss any thoughts of finding trouble with her as soon as possible . It’s not difficult to kill Black Cat, but her father is not someone easy to bully . ”

There was a pause, and a rather complicated expression emerged on North’s face .

“No one wants to live a life where death can come at anytime and from anywhere… no one . ”

“That so? Anyway, in what capacity are you saying this? Someone who has first hand experience?”

Xue Qilin asked this questions with an unclear meaning and tone .

North is silent, which can be regarded as a tacit agreement with her statement .

“Your worry is unnecessary . ” Xue Qilin shrugged her shoulders, “I have no intention to look for her to settle accounts . ”

After a long silence, North asked, puzzled: “Then why did you inquire about her?”

“People always want to know everything . ”

Xue Qilin looked down and sighed .

“Nothing is more disturbing than ‘not knowing’ . ”

“‘Not knowing’…”

Shui Yun’er chewed the words, in a daze . She appears to understand somewhat . North nodded, sympathetic deep down .

However…

“… called Black Cat, hmm? You’d better not run into me, or I will catch you and spank you! To try to a.s.sa.s.sinate me, what a reckless thing!”

Xue Qilin suddenly bared her teeth, waved her fist, and thought out loud . Her words are laced with anger and indignation .

The serious atmosphere was destroyed in an instant by the la.s.s’s expression of anger .

In response, Shui Yun’er couldn’t help but smile wryly .

“If there’s nothing else, then leave… you are really tiring . ”

North rubbed his temple with one hand and waved his other hand in annoyance to drive away this customer .

“I’m a customer… Is this how you treat you customers?”

Xue Qilin stood up while complaining grievously .

“Get out!”

“Fine, I’ll go…”

North stared at Xue Qilin, causing her to twist her mouth .

“Right, surnamed Xue . ”

The la.s.s has just turned around to leave, when she was stopped by North .

“What?”

Xue Qilin turned to look back at him .

“The last time you asked me about the auction . There will be one held today . ”

In a slum, there is bound to be a black market to dispose of stolen goods .

When some valuable stolen goods fall into the black market, the organization controlling the black market will generally hold an auction to sell them off for a good price .

Due to this, it is often possible to get something good in black market auctions .

It has to be mentioned that a slum is a place without morality, so the black market is p.r.o.ne to “dog eat dog” instances . After you buy things there, whether you can leave safely or not depends on your personal skill .

“Hey, it’s finally going to be held? Is there anything good?”

“Not sure . I heard that there’s going to be a martial demon auctioned . ”

“A martial demon?” Xue Qilin frowned, “What martial demon?”

“Not sure . ”

“What sort of intelligence broker are you?! You only know how to say not sure!”

Xue Qilin is ticked off .

“There’s no way around it, I didn’t pay attention . ”

North said flatly, lacking the awareness of an intelligence broker .

“Although I’m not sure, but I heard that…”

Here we go again with hearsay! Xue Qilin rolled her eyes .

“It’s a humanoid martial demon . ”

A humanoid martial demon .

In other words, it’s a martial demon who’s already in the Earth Realm .

An Earth Realm martial demon is going to be auctioned? Xue Qilin opened her eyes wide, incredulous .
