Chapter 353 Knowing the Times

The old woman spat out a mouthful of blood in anger.

She viciously said to Li Mu, "My disciple has offended you, kill or die as you please, but I hope you can leave the Meng Ze Continent safely."

"I can leave if I want to, who can stop me in the Meng Ze Continent, you're not too high on yourself!"

Xu Pingru hurriedly ran over and exclaimed, "Oops, misunderstanding, Master Zi, it's me, they're all on their own!"

Only then did Master Zi take a good look at Xu Pingru and stammered, "Big, big miss, this, what's going on?"

Xu Pingru helped her up.

"You guys really, why are you fighting as soon as you meet, Master, he is my good friend, we came to visit you specifically, it's all a misunderstanding!"

Master Zi was a bit baffled, then said in annoyance, "Missy, this friend of yours acts rudely and is rude, my store is small and does not welcome him as a big Buddha!"

Li Mu waited for these words and immediately clasped his fists and said, "Ms. Xu, since she doesn't welcome me, I'll just get lost, goodbye!"

After saying that, he turned around and was about to go out, Xu Pingru ran over to pull Li Mu again, "Brother Li, don't go, wait a moment first."

Turning around, he went back to begging Master Zee.

"Master Zi, give me a thin face and let this matter go, okay?"

Master Zi forced down his anger and grunted, no longer paying attention to the crowd as he trudged towards the parlor.

Xu Pingru hurriedly stepped forward to assist him, signaling Li Mu with her eyes to follow along.

Lin Wan walked over to her husband's side and complained in a low voice, "I know you did it on purpose, but it was too rude to do so, don't do it next time."

Li Mu didn't care and said, "Being rude is also a way, if I don't do this, they won't know how to make things difficult for us, I'm cutting off their back, so that both sides have nothing to talk about."

Shen Xingyue on the side and agreed,"Xiao Wan, wood brother's method is indeed good, although I do not like violence, but sometimes, violence is the most effective way, go, give that girl a face, do not need to make too much of a stalemate with her."

Several people followed and together they headed toward the parlor.

Zhou Tian and Gao Song glanced at each other and shivered involuntarily as they looked at the field of injured people.

Their hearts are all the same thought, this big brother Li, do things really hard, no wonder he can marry so many wives, this kind of character, who dares to rob with him!

When the group arrived at the house, Xu Pingru supported Master Zi and sat on the main seat, the latter's eyes still glaring at Li Mu.

Little Brother Li was full of indifference, and without needing to be humbled by others, he picked a chair for himself and sat on it with his butt, and then, with a smile, he locked eyes with the old lady.

Master Zi had an even worse impression of him, and holding back his anger, he asked Xu Pingru, "Missy, what do you mean by that, why did you bring this roughneck here to mess with me?"

The words were tinged with anger, and the tone had been unkind.

Xu Pingru apologized, "Master Zi, I'm sorry to you, I didn't expect this to happen either."

"How dare your friend put his hands on someone!"

"You listen to my explanation, he was new to this place, he was not clear about the rules here, and wanted to enter inside the store to pick out jewelry, and it was your disciple who first scolded and beat up the others, and that's why..."

Master Zi heard and understood and sighed, "On weekdays, I didn't teach them much, but they are used to being wild, they are always good at times and commit crimes, ultimately it is because of my ineffective discipline that they suffered from this calamity, in that case, let's just forget about this matter!"

Li Mu sneered in his heart, not counting, what can you do?

If I get angry and strangle your whole family, can Xu Pingru avenge you?

Joke!

However, since the other party had already shown her weakness, it was not good for him to be unreasonable, and he nodded at Master Zi, signaling that he forgave her.

Master Zi almost spat out blood again, this friend of Missy's is really an asshole, he can't even say a polite word.

Under her anger, she didn't bother to pay any more attention to Li Mu and asked Xu Pingru, "Missy, what is it that you've come here for this time?"

Xu Pingru glanced at Li Mu, "I'm not hiding it from Master, this friend of mine has admired you for a long time, and I've heard that Master's craftsmanship is superb, and the jewelry he creates is unparalleled in the world, therefore, I would like to ask Master to buy a piece of jewelry."

"No, I won't sell it to anyone!" Master Zi flatly refused.

Li Mu ha's voice, "Not for sale pull back, the old lady likes the crap, give me for nothing, I don't even care to take it, Miss Xu, let's go!"

Xu Pingru almost didn't cry in anger, "Don't, Brother Li, you're waiting for a moment, Master Zi, if you don't sell it to my friend, then can you sell it to me?"

Master Zi frowned and said seriously, "Other than the Orchid Heart Hairpin, whatever jewelry the young miss wants, old me can give it to you for free."

Xu Ping Ru deflated and lowered her head, not knowing what to say.

Li Mu heatedly sneered and said nonchalantly, "Old woman, what people want is the Orchid Heart Hairpin, but you're so good that you've directly blocked her mouth."

Master Zi gave him a blank look, "There's no place for you to talk here!"

Li Mu deliberately made a bad move, intending to ruin Xu Pingru's reputation.

"Old man, I think you've really lived in vain, being so old, you still don't know how to recognize the times."

"What do you mean by those words?"

"What do you mean you taste yourself, might as well tell you, Lanxin hairpin Ms. Xu to be determined, you have to give also have to give, do not have to give also have to give, look out for yourself!"

Xu Pingru hurriedly defended, "Brother Li, don't say that, a gentleman doesn't take away the beauty of others, although I like it, I don't covet it, Master Zi, don't be overly concerned, we'll leave right now."

It was fine if she didn't defend herself, but with such a defense, she in turn made the old lady overly concerned.

Master Zi knew that Xu Pingru liked the Orchid Heart Hairpin, and the reason why he never gave it to her was that he really couldn't bear to part with it, and secondly, he also wanted to whet the other party's appetite.

The most crucial point was that she trusted Miss Xu's character and was sure that she wouldn't do anything tricky.

It was based on these considerations that she dared to reject Xu Pingru again and again.

But she wouldn't dare think that now.

In the eyes of the Bright Wheel Sect's eldest lady, she was a mole.

You can be proud of your possessions or your talents, but there must be a precondition that people appreciate you and tolerate you doing so.

Once someone's patience is exhausted, you're still a mole in their eyes.

The old lady didn't think it was a misunderstanding.

On the contrary, she was becoming more and more convinced that this was what Xu Pingru intended to do.

Today was just a small fight to teach her a lesson, and if she still persisted, next time it would not be as simple as all of them being injured.

On one side is the life of a family, on the other is the Lanxin Hairpin, please choose?

Master Zi forced herself to calm down, she knew that she couldn't get carried away, if she really offended Miss Xu, she would be doomed to die.

As good as things are, it's time to give them up!

Having made up her mind, Master Zi hurriedly stopped her, "Slowly, Missy is not in a hurry, allow me to think about it again."

Xu Pingru hurriedly said, "Master don't be embarrassed, I don't want the Orchid Heart Hairpin, I don't mean anything else, you mustn't be too concerned."

Grandmaster Zi smiled, got up and said, "Please sit down for a while, old me will be right there!"

With that, he turned and went to the back room.

Xu Pingru made a blank glance at Li Mu, dissatisfaction showing inside her eyes.

Little Reeko was not amused and nodded at her with a smile.

In a short while, Master Zi returned to the parlor, holding a brocade box inside his hand.

"Don't blame Missy, it's my old self who was stubborn, this treasure should have been offered to Missy, I hope Missy won't blame me, my old self has made amends to Missy."

Xu Pingru hurriedly excused herself, "Master Zi, what do you mean by this, I said I don't want the Orchid Heart Hairpin anymore, you mustn't do this."

"Missy is wrong, the treasure is given to a good person, the orchid heart hairpin should have belonged to Missy, the old body said honestly, looking at the Meng Ze continent, in addition to Missy, which woman has the qualification to wear it, you mustn't excuse yourself, it's a piece of the old body's heart."

The two people pushed me to be polite for a long time, Xu Pingru had no choice but to accept the Orchid Heart Hairpin, and at that moment, ordered Zhou Tian to present the golden ticket.

Master Zi was not polite and accepted it graciously.

The two men chatted for a while before they "enjoyed" themselves.

Li Mu and the others returned directly to the workshop.

Halfway there, Xu Pingru couldn't help but complain to Li Mu, "Why did you do this today?"

Li Mu didn't care and said, "Girl, I'm not doing this all for you."

"For me!" Xu Pingru said disdainfully, "In that case, I still have to thank you?"

"No need to be polite, if you can close the deal soon enough, we can both get even."

"Did you do it on purpose?" Xu Pingru questioned.

"Half yes, half no."

"What do you mean?"

"It's true I didn't know the rules there, and they did offend me, those are the facts, and you were an eyewitness, I'm not lying."

"And then what?"

"The borrowing was intentional."

"You want her to think that I ordered you to do this, that she's scared and has to bow down?"

"Pretty much, I felt bad about hitting it first anyway, I didn't think about it that much at the time as to how she would associate it."

Xu Pingru waved her small fists and chided Li Mu, "Do you know that if you do this, you will ruin my reputation and make people talk behind my back."

"Didn't you get the Orchid Heart Hairpin too!"

"What do you mean?"

"My point is simple, don't care what method I used, I helped you get the Orchid Heart Hairpin after all, you're in no position to accuse me!"

Xu Pingru said angrily, "I did get the Orchid Heart Hairpin, but I lost my reputation, the gains outweigh the losses, do you understand?"

Li Mu said with a big grin, "Your reputation has nothing to do with me, and if you don't think I'm doing my job well, you can just not use me, and since you're using me, you have to do it my way, that's my rule."

Xu Pingru grunted, no longer paying attention to him, and drove her horse forward on her own, not even bothering to take care of a few of his women.

Lin Wan came over to her husband's side and said cheerfully, "Now, she should hate you."

"At the very least, the goodwill that was just built up is kind of completely played out, but hopefully when we get back, she doesn't have the heart to keep playing around."
