Chapter 61 The Evils One Brings on Oneself Are the Hardest to Bear

At that time, many people had gathered around the stall where Wang Ke and Xu Jingkai were standing. That was because a person shouted that someone had found a middle-level magic weapon there. Thus, as time went by, more and more people came to have a look.

Xu Jingkai's face changed from blue to white and then to black, and finally turned dark purple. He was ashamed and became wordless, seeming to want to dig a hole in the ground and vanish from it.

Holding that "middle-level magic weapon" in his hand that he had given extravagantly high praise, Xu Jingkai felt as if he had been holding a hot potato. He wanted to throw it away. But he would lose his face if he left ignominiously in front of so many people.

However, he would not be that stupid to buy it, either. That was because he had checked the stall by observing the energy and found that there was no spiritual energy wave around this stall. That was to say, the antique in his hand was not a magic weapon at all, let alone a middle-level one.

At that moment, he felt as if he had set a trap but jumped in it himself and buried himself in the mud.

"What's going on? Isn't there any middle-level magic weapon? Five hundred thousand yuan is not a high price, is it? What are you waiting for? If you can't afford it, get out of the way. If it is a genuine middle-level magic weapon, we all want to buy it!" Someone in the crowd shouted with sarcasm.

"That's right! Is he a really brave man? Why is he so hesitant? I think it's because he could not afford it but don't want to give it up. Heh. What a dog in the manger! So wicked!"

"He has no money. What a poser! He must be a bad person!"

"..."

The discussion of people around made Xu Jingkai look worse. He was full of resentment in his heart. He maliciously glared at Wang Ke who was smiling and then raised his head. Looking at the stall owner who didn't look well. Xu Jingkai said, "I don't want it. Whoever wants it can buy it!"

The stall owner burst into anger. Seeing that Xu Jingkai messed up a sure thing of him, he would like to skin this jerk in front of him. It was this jerk who had brought him hope and then ruined it. This made him quickly walked out of the stall with anger and rushed up to Xu Jingkai. He raised his casserole-sized fist but did not punch Xu Jingkai. Hesitating for a moment, he grasped the clothes on Xu Jingkai's chest and asked sharply, "If you don't want to buy my middle-level magic weapon, why do you come along for the ride? Are you making fun of me? Son of a bi*ch, do you think that I'm vulnerable? Would you believe that I'll make you disabled?"

Having given a few gasps, the stall owner pushed Xu Jingkai away and then fiercely spat to his own side. Then, he turned to the surrounding people and shouted, "Ladies and gentlemen, and all the friends passing here, please make a judgment. That young man was going to buy this antique, which is a magic weapon. However, this guy interfered in this and messed it up. Do you agree that I should slap this jerk?"

Immediately, some loud responses came from the crowd.

"He deserves it. He deserved a nice hard slap. This guy was doing this on purpose!"

"If this jerk dares to play this trick at my stall, I will break his legs. It does take all sorts to make a world. Is it so easy for the owner to run the business? How could that guy do that? D*mn it! What an unscrupulous person!"

"This jerk does need someone to kick his a*s. Let him piss off..."

"..."

Hearing the curses which the stall owner vomited out on Xu Jingkai, all the people thought that Xu Jingkai broke the rules of the world of antique seriously. People were not supposed to interfere in other people's discussions of business. Even if one liked an item very much, he could not break in. It was okay for one to like that item, but he could only buy it from that buyer after the completion of the transaction or stand out and discuss the business if the deal failed. However, if one interfered in others' business, it would be a provocation and unethical behavior which broke the rules.

With a smile, Wang Ke saw Xu Jingkai ignominiously leaving with his head down, just like a rat crossing the street. Though Xu Jingkai did not run like hell, Wang Ke felt extremely delighted when he saw Xu Jingkai's figure going away dejectedly.

As Xu Jingkai had been trapped by him again, Wang Ke did not intend to stay there. He gave an apologetic look to that stall owner and turned back, getting out of the crowd.

"If Heaven sends down calamities, there is the hope of weathering them. But if a man brings them upon himself, there is no hope of escape. What goes around comes around. Today, I do see an evildoer paying for his behavior." Li Ruoxi stood in front of Wang Ke with a beaming face. She smiled with the corners of her mouth upward, showing that she was also very happy at that time.

Wang Ke smiled, "I was going to ignore him. However, he haunted me. Previously, he had once been trapped by me, spending one hundred and fifty thousand yuan on a rubbish craft. However, he is impenitent. Then, I can do nothing but use this way to let him piss off."

There was a sparkle in Li Ruoxi's eyes. She smiled charmingly, "I find that it's laying up trouble for oneself to be against you."

Wang Ke laughed and did not continue that topic. Instead, he looked at Li Ruoxi and asked, "Have you had lunch yet?"

Li Ruoxi was surprised for a moment and then said with a flush on her beautiful face, "I haven't felt hungry before. Then, I forget to have lunch. As you talk about it now, I just feel a little hungry."

Then, Wang Ke laughed. He knew that Li Ruoxi did not go out to find a job today but stayed at home and read some books about antiques and magic weapons. As there was nothing to eat at home, he then asked her and discovered that she indeed had not had lunch.

"Let's go. There are many snack shops in this antique trading market. Though lunchtime has passed, we'll find something to eat." Wang Ke said with a smile.

When Wang Ke took Li Ruoxi to have lunch, a rumor had caused a sensation in the antique trading market like a hurricane. Only in half an hour, almost all the people there had heard the rumor,

"There are strong spiritual energy waves in the antique trading market. Many famous geomancers can clearly feel those waves. This means that there's a middle-level magic weapon in this market."

Walking out of a fast-food restaurant with Li Ruoxi, Wang Ke put on a strange look when he heard the news.

A middle-level magic weapon was worth no less than five hundred thousand yuan. Those of better quality were worth more than one million. When it came to the geomancers who were capable of feeling the existence of a middle-level magic weapon, it must be at least geomancers of Yinyang Master.

Li Ruoxi curiously looked at countless people on the street running around and constantly looking for something in different shops and stalls. Then, she asked Wang Ke, "Wang Ke, do magic weapons also have different levels?"

Wang Ke nodded and said, "Yes. The magic weapons can be divided into three levels. They are the initial level, middle level, and high level. The higher the level of a magic weapon, the more valuable it is, and the more it impacts Fengshui. If there is a middle-level magic weapon here, the person who can find it will make a great fortune. When I trapped Xu Jingkai just now, that guy said that the rubbish antique I preferred was a middle-level magic weapon. How absurd it is!"

Li Ruoxi took a tumble and said, "It's right that one knows little about trades other than his own. It also goes a long way of learning of antiques and magic weapons!"

Wang Ke smiled and said, "Let's walk around here! A middle-level magic weapon is something we can't ask for. As almost all the people here are crazy about finding the middle-level magic weapon now, I'm afraid we won't get anything if we join them. Thus, we might as well walk around leisurely. Otherwise, the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment."

Li Ruoxi felt happy with Wang Ke's state of mind. She agreed without any hesitation.

Time went by. Wang Ke and Li Ruoxi strolled in the crowd and continually stopped at different stalls to see if there was something they liked.

"Gee?"

When they strolled past an antique furniture shop, Wang Ke suddenly had a change of his expression. That was because he felt a faintly perceptible spiritual energy wave coming out of the shop's gate.

The spiritual energy wave was so weak that Wang Ke might not be able to feel it if he did not have an extraordinary sixth sense.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Wang Ke had stopped, Li Ruoxi also stopped immediately and asked him.

Wang Ke grasped Li Ruoxi by her wrist and strode into that antique furniture shop. He whispered while walking, "I feel a treasure. Let's go in and have a check. Let's see if we can find undervalued treasures."

With her wrist grasped by Wang Ke, Li Ruoxi blushed. However, when she heard Wang Ke's words, she put a dumbfounding look on her extremely beautiful face. She thought, "Is this guy crazy about getting rich? He feels a treasure when walking on the street? Does he think that there are treasures all over the street? If it is that easy to find undervalued treasures, antiques and magic weapons can't be that valuable, can they?"

However, she did not speak out about what she thought, but just let Wang Ke pull her to get into the shop.

There were more than one hundred different kinds of furniture in that spacious shop. At that time, many people in the shop were looking around with knitted eyebrows, trying to find something.

"Welcome to our shop. What kind of furniture do you want to buy?" A clerk in his twenties said with a bright smile. When he saw Li Ruoxi's appearance clearly, he looked a little dull, having a flash of obsession in his eyes.

Li Ruoxi just ignored that clerk's ogling at her. Wang Ke also seemed not to see that bewitched clerk who yielded to the temptation of beauty. He had a dry cough and then said, "We're just looking around. If we find something we prefer, we'll buy it. You can go ahead with your staff!"

That clerk was awoken by Wang Ke's dry cough. His pale face turned a little red. Hearing Wang Ke's words, he showed a trace of disappointment and quickly stole a glance at Li Ruoxi. Then, he nodded and said, "OK. If you find something you prefer, please call me. I'm on call at all times."

Wang Ke laughed inwardly. As this guy said that he was on call at all times, it seemed that Li Ruoxi's charm was indeed irresistible!

At that time, he had relaxed his grip on Li Ruoxi's wrist. They walked into the shop more than ten meters farther. Then, Wang Ke turned to Li Ruoxi and said with a smile, "The effect of beauty does work well. If I come here alone, I'm afraid that the clerk would not say that he is on call at all times."

Li Ruoxi coquettishly rolled her eyes at Wang Ke and grumbled in a flirtish manner, "Don't talk nonsense. Go to find the treasure quickly."

Wang Ke touched the bridge of his nose. He stopped and slowly took a glance for ten meters around. He perceived some waves of spiritual energy nearby and then said, "If I'm not mistaken, the magic weapon is nearby. By the way, there's one thing you might not know that thanks to the improvement in my cultivation, I have unconsciously become a geomancer. Though now I'm still at the lowest level, I can observe the energy. Now, I just perceive the spiritual energy wave through energy-observing."

A geomancer?

Observed the energy?

Li Ruoxi blinked as she had heard these two nouns.
