94: Section 94
When he sensed something amiss, a sense of vigilance arose in his heart.
“Currently, Cangyuan Palace, which was my enemy, has been annihilated, leaving only one Child of Destiny, Zhang Fan.”
“If anyone is thinking about me, it can only be this child!”
“It seems I need to have Elder Shaoguang inquire about this child’s recent situation!”
Chu Mo thought to himself.
Although Zhang Fan’s major Opportunity had been snatched by him, this person was now vastly different from him, completely insignificant.
However, the other party was still a Child of Destiny, a fated protagonist.
Even a mighty eagle uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit.
Before thoroughly defeating the opponent, Chu Mo would never let down his guard in the slightest.
“Brother, what’s wrong?”
At this moment, Chu Rou saw Chu Mo’s expression was a bit unusual and asked.
“Nothing, just thinking about some things.”
Chu Mo suppressed these thoughts and said with a smile.
“That’s good.”
Chu Rou felt relieved, hugged Chu Mo’s arm, and skipped forward.
They were currently on a rather bustling street.
Chu Mo, Chu Rou, and Zhao Chan walked here, attracting many gazes along the way.
The man’s steps were light and graceful, his brows as clear as fresh snow, a faint smile on his lips; his demeanor was grand, profound as the sea.
The young girl holding the man was pure and natural; though still young, she already displayed a stunning appearance.
The woman following behind walked with her hands clasped, her figure graceful, her skin like ice and bones like jade, her beauty also exquisite, but she was dressed as a maid.
Such a combination attracted countless eyes.
However, they could also guess that the trio’s identities were certainly not simple, so no one foolishly approached to strike up a conversation.
Continuing forward, they soon arrived at the stone gambling house.
“Three esteemed guests, do you wish to open raw stones?”
As soon as they entered, the shopkeeper, seeing Chu Mo and the two women’s extraordinary demeanor, quickly stopped his staff and personally stepped forward to greet them.
“Yes.”
Chu Mo nodded slightly: “I brought my sister to play a bit and pick out some good raw stones.”
Upon hearing this.
The shopkeeper immediately understood and began introducing the raw stones to Chu Rou, who stood beside Chu Mo.
After listening for a while, Chu Rou excitedly began picking raw stones.
As for Chu Mo.
He scanned the interior of the shop.
At this moment, there were several other Martial Artists in the shop who were also selecting raw stones.
Chu Mo scanned them one by one, finally settling on an ordinary-looking middle-aged Martial Artist.
【Name】: Lu Lu
【Realm】: Body Forging Realm Third Layer
【Fate】: Ordinary (White)
【Destiny】: None
【Life Script】: None
【Recent Turning Point】: In a moment, he will purchase a raw stone from the stone gambling house, obtain an ancient pill from it, sell it for thirty thousand Spirit Stones, and thus change his destiny.
……
This person was merely one of the most ordinary of all living beings, currently standing before a raw stone, appearing somewhat indecisive.
But by observing his information, Chu Mo knew that this person would ultimately make up his mind, acquire this raw stone, and eventually obtain the treasure contained within.
However.
He did not intervene to snatch it.
The Opportunity contained within this stone might be extremely important to this Martial Artist.
But to him, it was insignificant.
He shook his head and withdrew his gaze.
And at this moment.
Chu Rou came over with a long face.
“Brother…”
She looked up, pitifully saying: “I gambled on three raw stones and lost them all. Can you help me pick a good one?”
Seeing this, Chu Mo couldn’t help but smile.
Then.
He stroked his sister’s hair and said gently: “Alright, watch as your brother picks a good one for you!”
As he spoke.
He walked over to where the raw stones were placed.
He came beside the still hesitant Martial Artist and picked up the raw stone that the Martial Artist was indecisive about.
“This one, open it for me.”
Chu Mo said.
“Alright!”
The shopkeeper nodded and immediately went to cut the stone.
The middle-aged man, who had been standing there indecisively, watched as the raw stone he wanted was taken away. He wanted to speak, but seeing Chu Mo’s demeanor, he opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
He looked at the departing raw stone, feeling a bit lost in his heart.
However, stone gambling ultimately depended on luck, and he wasn’t sure if there was any treasure inside, so he didn’t pay too much attention and continued to select the next raw stone.
But not long after.
A gasp of surprise echoed in the shop.
“An ancient pill!”
“Goodness, a fifth-grade ancient pill, and perfectly preserved at that! It’s worth at least tens of thousands of Spirit Stones!”
“What a huge profit!”
The middle-aged Martial Artist looked in the direction of the sound and was astonished to find that the raw stone from which the ancient pill was opened was precisely the one he had hesitated over and that had eventually been bought by someone else.
The middle-aged Martial Artist’s eyes immediately turned red.
This was a treasure worth tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, and it was just snatched away by someone else!
A strong feeling of regret immediately surged in his heart.
At the same time.
A sense of jealousy also arose.
On the other side, seeing that a fifth-grade ancient pill had been opened from the raw stone Chu Mo had chosen, Chu Rou couldn’t help but cheer excitedly.
“Brother, you’re amazing!”
Her eyes were filled with admiration.
“Let’s go, let’s explore other places,” Chu Mo said with a smile.
Chu Rou naturally obeyed.
The three of them, carrying the ancient pill, left the place together.
Meanwhile, the middle-aged Martial Artist whose Opportunity had been intercepted by Chu Mo, driven by jealousy and regret, took out all the Spirit Stones on him and selected a raw stone.
But unfortunately…
This time, he did not have good luck again; no treasure was found after the stone was cut open.
In the end, he could only leave the place disheartened.
On the street.
Chu Mo continued to stroll with his sister.
He watched his sister excitedly moving from one stall to another, a faint smile on his lips.
And at this moment.
