The School Beauty’s Super Rogue

Chapter 1168 - 1163: Exotic Fragrant Grass

"Master! No!"

He Yugang cried out miserably, but the guards dragging him showed no mercy.

In the end, He Yugang was dragged out of the flea market.

He had been labeled a "criminal," and unless something unexpected happens, he would likely never enter the flea market again.

From start to finish, Jade Stone Daoist never said a word. His expression didn’t even change.

"Alright, since this is a misunderstanding, let’s just disperse,"

Young Master Xu said with a smile.

"Farewell!" Jade Stone Daoist, in a terrible mood, couldn’t even be bothered to feign politeness and turned to leave with his disciples.

As they departed, Li Yu threw a venomous glance at Qin Hao.

"What a bore. I thought this Fly King had some guts but turns out it’s just a paper tiger!" Qin Hao remarked, looking at the departing backs of the Jade Stone Sect.

"Brother Qin, ah, you still manage to stay out of trouble after all these years!" Young Master Xu smiled, fondly remembering the days when they faced hardships together.

Although short, those memories were worth cherishing for a lifetime.

"Xiao Xuxu, you’re wrongly accusing me. Last time, they ambushed and tried to kill me. This time, they stirred things up themselves. I’m innocent." Qin Hao shrugged and pointed at Chu Head and Old Li, "These two brothers can vouch for me."

"Indeed!"

"I testify it’s true!" Old Li and Chu Head chimed in.

Who would dare joke about Qin Hao’s formidable strength?

Judging by the looks of it, he has quite an impressive background too.

Being so familiar with Young Master Xu, how could he be just a reckless youth?

Now, these two cunning merchants already regard Qin Hao as a benefactor.

They must curry favor with him no matter what.

"Hehe." Young Master Xu chuckled gracefully at the two cunning merchants, "There’s only one shop space. Why don’t you join forces to open it?"

"No objections!"

"I agree!"

Chu Head and Old Li were more than willing.

After all, golden location shops aren’t something just anyone can handle.

If the owner doesn’t have some tricks or unique products, they can’t succeed.

"Then it’s settled. You can sign the contract with my subordinate." Young Master Xu called over a scholarly-looking middle-aged man.

Led by the middle-aged man, Old Li and Chu Head left.

Of course, before leaving, they didn’t forget to thank Qin Hao courteously.

Old Li said, "Brother Qin, come visit my shop when you’re free!"

As for Chu Head, "Brother Qin, forget about the guide fee. It’s tough being brothers, consider it a favor!"

...

After they left, Young Master Xu couldn’t help but ask, "What’s this guide fee?"

Qin Hao rolled his eyes and didn’t answer, instead, he complained, "Why do I keep running into fools? Always bringing up a bit of pocket change, ugh, life is hard!"

Young Master Xu smiled and shook his head, saying, "If Brother Qin wants to buy something, how about I be the guide? Plus, with my connections, the shop owners will definitely give you a discount."

"That would be the best!"

Qin Hao nodded without hesitation.

Just kidding, walking with a manager, what kind of herb can’t he buy?

Then, led by Young Master Xu, Qin Hao began his large-scale shopping spree.

The flea market truly lived up to being Huaxia’s biggest trading market.

As long as it’s not extremely rare herbs, almost all other herbs can be found here.

Young Master Xu wasn’t exaggerating; with him around, the cunning merchants didn’t dare price too outrageously.

So, Qin Hao’s shopping went smoothly, and in less than half an hour, he had basically completed his purchases.

Along the way, as he passed the shop area, the presence of Young Master Xu garnered countless stares.

"Isn’t that Young Master Xu!"

"Why is Young Master Xu trailing that young man?"

"Oh my, is Young Master Xu actually accompanying him?"

"Who exactly is that young man to have such prestige?"

The passersby marvelled.

After all, Young Master Xu is one of the four managers.

And surpasses the other three in potential.

Someone like this is equivalent to being the master of the flea market.

Yet, he’s trailing behind a young man about the same age.

What kind of terrifying identity must this young man have?

"Xiao Xuxu, this market is truly thriving!"

Qin Hao exclaimed as he walked with a backpack filled to the brim with herbs.

He had spent about fifty million.

This number seemed large, but he actually spent relatively little.

Without Young Master Xu, Qin Hao estimates that buying the same items would cost at least twice as much.

Young Master Xu saved him a considerable amount.

Young Master Xu, holding a folding fan, smiled lightly, "We couldn’t do this without the help of fellow peers. Remember to give me a heads up if Brother Qin needs to buy herbs in the future."

"Of course." Qin Hao chuckled, "I’m not foolish enough not to latch onto Xiao Xuxu’s big leg."

"If Brother Qin latches onto my leg, can I latch onto Brother Qin’s leg?" Young Master Xu teased, his eyes glinting mischievously.

Qin Hao felt a chill and jumped back a step, "We can talk this through."

"Hahaha!"

Young Master Xu laughed heartily, "Being with Brother Qin really lifts my spirits."

Qin Hao showed a heartfelt smile, "I feel the same way."

As they continued chatting and laughing, Qin Hao turned serious, "I’ve almost collected all my herbs. But having gathered so much, my greed has grown — I want to find a stalk of exotic grass; I wonder if you have it here."

"What kind of exotic grass?" Young Master Xu blinked curiously.

Qin Hao replied, "Lion King Grass. The so-called Lion King is truly a spirit beast. Such creatures often guard exotic grass, known accordingly as Lion King Grass."

In truth, Qin Hao wasn’t sure if Lion King Grass actually existed.

He simply found it mentioned in Immortal Race’s notes.

Regardless, since he’s here, might as well try his luck.

"What does it look like, and what are its properties?" Young Master Xu asked seriously.

Qin Hao thought a bit and said, "It appears to be grass but has six petals, each a deep green color..."

Upon hearing Qin Hao’s description, Young Master’s eyes lit up, "What a coincidence!"

"What’s so coincidental?" Qin Hao inquired.

Young Master Xu excitedly replied, "The grass Brother Qin described, I’ve actually seen it, and the grass appeared only recently."

Qin Hao looked eager to listen.

Young Master Xu continued, "Not long ago, an herb farmer collected an unusual item from the deep mountains. It resembles both grass and flower, emits a strange fragrance, matching Brother Qin’s description perfectly. Because we’re uncertain what it is, we’ve temporarily named it Exotic Fragrant Grass."

Qin Hao’s eyes sparkled, "Where is that grass?"
