Chapter 187: Mo Clan’s Guardian Team (2/2)

“I wanted what my brother picked for me, not something expensive and flashy.”

“As long as it was given by you, I would be willing to wear even a grass ring.”

“Not buying it anymore, we are going home!”

Xuan’er acted domineeringly again, pulling Ning Wuxie toward the door without looking back.

“But Xuan’er, they really look good on you,” Ning Wuxie said.

“Yeah, yeah, Miss, no other store has jewelry like me!” The shopkeeper also became anxious, seeing the duck that was about to fly away, he almost ran around the counter to chase after them.

“Not needed, it’s just average, I don’t like them that much.”

Xuan’er tossed out this remark, dragging Ning Wuxie to the door and reaching out to pull it open.

With a loud crash, sunlight poured in, blinding everyone momentarily.

Once they adjusted, they found that four people were standing outside the door, and judging by their actions, they were also about to push the door open!

Ning Wuxie looked up and found that the person in the lead looked somewhat familiar.

“Mo Ming?!”

The four people saw Ning Wuxie and immediately bowed with cupped fists.

Ning Wuxie was astonished, wondering how they found him here.

……

After Mo Ming explained, Ning Wuxie learned that today was the day they had just been assigned to teams, and they had just gone to Mo Xin’s residence to find Ning Wuxie, only to be told that he had gone out.

The four team members, recalling that Ning Wuxie had previously been ambushed and assassinated by the Demonic Path, immediately came to the street to search for his whereabouts.

After some inquiries, they arrived at the shopkeeper’s Baoyu Pavilion.

Ning Wuxie paid special attention to Mo Ming, noticing that he did not seem to have developed the dependency that Mo Xin mentioned.

From the outside, Mo Ming still exuded a sharp aura; aside from the respect in his gaze, which had lessened his pride, there was not much change.

Ning Wuxie also did not understand how this sense of dependency had come about.

“What is the captain doing here, buying jewelry for your partner?”

“Yes,” Ning Wuxie nodded, turning to look for the shopkeeper.

Where was the shopkeeper?

The front hall was empty, not a single person in sight.

Even the jewelry that Xuan’er had placed on the counter was still there, but the shopkeeper’s figure was nowhere to be found.

“Where is the boss?” Ning Wuxie wondered, “The shopkeeper?”

Mo Ming immediately understood what had happened, taking two steps forward, his black light armor lightly trembling, making sounds with his firm and imposing steps.

“Shopkeeper, come out!”

“If you don’t come out, I can issue a warrant for you and have your whole family locked up in the heavenly prison!”

As soon as the words fell, a rumbling sound echoed as a loose floor tile in front of the counter was pushed up, and the shopkeeper, in his armor form, crawled out.

He transformed back into human form, still kneeling on the ground, his forehead pressed against the floor, trembling as he spoke.

“Greetings, great guardian, greetings, captain, it was this old servant who was blind, unable to recognize the great mountain…”

“Captain, these three pieces of jewelry, please take them quickly, they are the tribute from this old servant!”

The shopkeeper pointed toward the counter, his entire body still kneeling on the ground, not daring to rise.

Ning Wuxie stared in astonishment at the scene before him, still unable to react.

“Good to know, actually daring to charge the captain of Mo Clan’s Guards, Ning Wuxie?!”

“Quickly get up and pack for the great one!”

Mo Ming shouted sternly, and the shopkeeper, startled, immediately scrambled to his feet, rushing to the counter to pack the three pieces of jewelry for Ning Wuxie.
