Chapter 20 Accompanying Xun'er to Visit the Market at Night

Xiao Ran put his arm around Xiao Yan's shoulders and explained in a friendly manner,

"Hey kid, can you expand your horizons a little bit?"

"You are a genius who is about to become a true alchemist!"

"Think about it carefully. Now, in the entire Xiao family, where can you get so many gold coins except from me?"

"With my gold coins, you can successfully learn to make medicine."

"Becoming a first-grade, second-grade, or even higher-level alchemist is just around the corner! By then, if you want gold coins, won't they come in large quantities?"

"The purpose of setting this interest rate for you now is to give you appropriate pressure and give you more motivation to learn alchemy!"

Xiao Yan frowned and thought for a while, then he straightened his chest and nodded proudly.
"That's right! I, Xiao Yan, am going to become a top-level alchemist!"

Yao Lao in Xiao Yan's ring held his forehead helplessly.

Well, this disciple of mine has been fooled by Xiao Ran’s chicken soup again and is totally confused!

However, he did not remind Xiao Yan out loud. If he did not experience some things himself, how could he understand the dangers of the world?
Xiao Ran patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and encouraged him, "I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts!"

"Of course, if you can't bear this kind of pressure, I won't force you!"

As he spoke, Xiao Ran pretended to put the purple gold card back into his storage ring.

Xiao Yan quickly stepped forward and held Xiao Ran's hands with both hands, saying righteously,

"How can that be?! Brother Ran, you are doing this for my own good! I will certainly not let you down!"

"I'll definitely borrow this money!"

"Not reluctantly?"

"Never force it!"

“What about the interest rate?”

"Brother Ran wants to give me motivation. If you agree, I'll give out five and return twenty!"

"Good job! I'm rooting for you!"

Xiao Ran stuffed the financial card into Xiao Yan's hand, and then stretched out his palm.

Xiao Yan understood and raised his hand to high-five Xiao Ran three times!
"Brother Ran! Look at me trying hard!"

After saying this, Xiao Yan turned around and left with high morale.

But just as I reached the gate of the courtyard, I heard Xiao Ran's voice behind me.

"Oh, Yan Di, I forgot to tell you."

"There are 500,000 gold coins in this purple gold card. According to our agreement, 500,000 gold coins will be paid out and 200 gold coins will be returned. This means that you lend me 1 million gold coins, and by this time next year, you will have to pay me back a total of 2 million gold coins!"

There was a 'pop' sound.

As soon as he reached the gate, Xiao Yan fell to the ground.
The two shoes flew high.

Xiao Ran shook his head helplessly.

"Alas! Young people, your mentality is unstable. You still need to temper yourself more."

He ignored Xiao Yan who was glaring at him and looked up at the sky.

"By now, Xun'er has almost finished her training, right?"

Just as he was thinking this, Xiao Xun'er, wearing a golden embroidered skirt and with hip-length black hair, walked into the courtyard.

"Xun'er, you're here!" Xiao Ran's eyes lit up and he greeted her with a smile.

"Brother Xiao Ran!"

Xiao Xun'er smiled and nodded to Xiao Ran, then looked curiously at Xiao Yan lying on the ground at the gate, walked to Xiao Ran and naturally took Xiao Ran's arm.

"Brother Xiao Ran, what happened to him?"

Before Xiao Ran could speak, Xiao Yan quickly got up from the ground and said,
"Miss Xun'er, I'm fine. I was just tired and wanted to lie down on the ground and rest for a while."

"Since you are here, I won't disturb you and Brother Ran!"

After saying that, Xiao Yan rushed out of the courtyard at a high speed.

He also did not forget to turn around and pick up his two shoes and take them away.

Xiao Xun'er covered her mouth and giggled.

"Hehe, Xiao Ran, are you bullying him again?"

Xiao Ran spread his hands innocently.

"No way! I just gave him a little more motivation on his way forward!"

Xiao Xun'er didn't care too much about this matter. In the entire Xiao family, there was only one person who was worthy of her care, and that was Xiao Ran.

"Brother Xiao Ran, do you want to practice now?"

Looking at Xiao Xun'er's serious face, Xiao Ran was deeply moved.

At the beginning, he used such lies to deceive the young Xiao Xun'er.

Later, Xiao Xun'er also slowly discovered it.

But she didn't say it out loud. Maybe in her heart, this was a unique way for the two of them to get along.

Xiao Ran shook his head slowly and reached out to stroke Xiao Xun'er's soft hair. "I heard that Xun'er has been practicing all afternoon today. Haven't you had dinner yet? How about I treat you to dinner?"

Xiao Xun'er's eyes lit up when she heard this and she nodded repeatedly.

"Okay! Okay!"

But then she pouted her lips and slightly frowned.

"But, if this happens, won't it delay Brother Xiao Ran's cultivation?"

Xiao Ran smiled and said, "There are many ways to practice. Besides, it's not something that can be done overnight!"

"Let's go! I'm going to take you to eat something delicious!"

As he spoke, Xiao Ran took Xiao Xun'er's hand and ran quickly towards the courtyard gate.

“Hehehe~~~!”

A series of girls' happy giggling sounds were left in the air.

……

The largest market town in Wutan City.

This market is located in the prosperous area in the center of Wutan City and is jointly run by the Xiao family, the Gale family, and the Otto family.

Xiao Ran brought Xiao Xun'er here, and the two of them held hands and walked slowly on the bustling street.

Looking at the bright lights in the market town, there are brightly lit shops and stalls along the street.

There are shops selling food, medicinal herbs, magic cores, clothes, jewelry, weapons, etc. There is everything.

Suddenly Xiao Ran discovered that Xiao Xun'er's eyes were on the candied haws carried by a vendor.

Xiao Ran understood what was going on and walked forward to grab the handle of the candied haws that the vendor was carrying on his shoulder.

He took out a gold coin and threw it to the vendor.

"Keep the change, please!"

The vendor obviously knew Xiao Ran. He looked at the gold coins in his hand and bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, Master Xiao Ran! Thank you, Master Xiao Ran!"

Xiao Ran ignored the vendor's gratitude and went straight to Xiao Xun'er carrying the candied haws handle.

He took a string of candied haws from the handle and handed it to Xiao Xun'er.

"Come on, Xun'er, try it!"

Xiao Xun'er happily took the candied haws, and her beautiful eyes turned into crescents.

"Thank you, Brother Xiao Ran! But, buying so many with one gold coin, isn't it a big loss, Brother Xiao Ran?"

"Why are you being so polite to me?" Xiao Ran said nonchalantly, carrying a candied haws.

"Besides, as long as Xun'er is happy, what does it matter?"

Xiao Xun'er smiled shyly when she heard that.

Then grab the candied haws and slowly savor its perfectly sweet and sour taste.

"Besides, I just lent a loan of high interest to that kid Xiao Yan today, don't worry!"

"Xun'er, don't worry about spending money from now on! Brother Xiao Ran, I'm a rich man!"

"If he doesn't have money, I'll just find a way to lend him some more high-interest loans!"

"Hehe, Brother Xiao Ran, you are so bad! But Xiao Yan is really interesting!" Xiao Xun'er said with a smile.

"No, he's just a little bit of a middle school student!"

Xiao Ran pulled Xiao Xun'er and continued walking forward.

Xiao Xun'er tilted her head and asked in confusion,
"Brother Xiao Ran, what does zhongni mean?"

"Um... well, I mean he's a little bit stupid..."

"Hehe, so that's how it is! But Brother Xiao Ran is right, it is indeed a bit..."

"That's right, you don't even look at me..."

"..."

The two continued walking and neither noticed anything.

Not far from where the two had been standing,

In front of a magic core stall.

A man shrouded in black clothes and a black robe stood there with disbelief in his eyes.

His fists were clenched tightly in his sleeves, and his face under his robe was filled with grief and indignation as he looked at the backs of Xiao Ran and Xiao Xun'er, who looked like charming boys and girls.

Just as he was feeling grief-stricken and angry, the boss behind the stall knocked on the stall with a feather duster.

"Hey! I say, do you still want this first-level wood magic core?"
