Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 230: Trap

Xia Weizhang lightly curled the corners of his lips, his expression ambiguous, "Objects of unknown origin, we cannot accept."

"How come my possessions are of unknown origin?" The visitor was immediately somewhat displeased.

"These items do not belong to our Divine Clan..." Xia Weizhang chuckled softly, "Ordinary people of the Divine Clan cannot freely enter and exit this forbidden area of the Divine Clan, if your items have an improper origin, it’s inviting disaster for our pawnshop..."

"Fine, we won’t take it!" The visitor abruptly snatched the bag and turned to walk away.

However, Xia Weizhang quickly slipped out from behind the counter, blocking the other, "Don’t be in such a hurry to leave!"

Xia Weizhang, tall and standing against the light at the doorway, made the visitor feel a surge of pressure.

"What? Do you intend to forcibly seize it?" The visitor’s tone was unfriendly.

Xia Weizhang laughed lightly, "The Divine Clan may be the head of the Hundred Families but has always been benevolent, never having harmed other clans, but these years, the reputation of the Divine Clan has been declining, is it not because of people like you tarnishing our name?"

Relying on their Divine Clan origin, they plunder others, tarnishing the name of the Divine Clan, making its situation increasingly difficult.

"That’s just a figment of your imagination, did you see me rob anyone with your own eyes?" The visitor sneered, "Since it’s a pawnshop, open for business. When a customer comes in, you accept what you can, and reject what you can’t, don’t talk about such pointless things!"

After speaking, the visitor raised an arm attempting to push past Xia Weizhang.

Xia Weizhang was prepared, his arm charged with power, he flicked the visitor away the moment they touched him.

The visitor, being flicked away, became even more upset, "What? You really want to rob?"

Xia Weizhang gently lowered his eyes, "Where did you get that item from?"

This item, Xia Weizhang had once seen on Ding Cheng.

But now, it appeared on this mysterious customer!

Could it be that Ding Cheng met with misfortune?

At the thought of this possibility, Xia Weizhang felt particularly distressed.

"I’m not pawning, get out of my way!" The customer was somewhat panicked.

This item, he found on the back hill, thinking it could fetch a good price, not expecting it to bring trouble!

"Where did you get this item from?" Xia Weizhang’s expression had turned slightly cold, his gaze like a serpent spitting venom.

"I... I picked it up!" The customer was exasperated, "Is picking it up illegal?"

The Divine Clan naturally has its own rules, similar to the current world, with the constraints of laws; otherwise, cultivators, relying on their cultivation, could run rampant, and wouldn’t the Divine Clan be in chaos?

Xia Weizhang lightly narrowed his eyes, "Picked it up? Where?"

The customer sighed in exasperation, secretly cursing his luck, "In the back hill!"

Xia Weizhang’s eyes narrowed slightly, "We will take it. Name your price."

The customer initially thought this deal was off the table, but unexpectedly, the situation took a turn, and Xia Weizhang agreed to take his item, so he didn’t hold onto earlier gripes with Xia Weizhang.

After all, trading items at the No Second Shop never came with a second offer.

You could truly sell for a good price.

"Three Earth Spirit Stones." The customer pursed his lips, not making an exorbitant demand due to Xia Weizhang letting him name the price.

"Deal! Su Bai, fetch him the Earth Spirit Stones!" Xia Weizhang readily agreed, taking the black bag from the customer, then went over to Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan’s side, "Sorry, cousin, I have some matters to attend to, won’t accompany you further!"

Having said this, Xia Weizhang hurriedly left the door.

Xia Mian narrowed her eyes slightly, "He didn’t look too good."

Lu Zechuan slowly sipped his tea, "Mianmian, you sure observe this cousin of yours quite closely!"

Xia Mian tilted her head and looked at Lu Zechuan, why did his words sound a bit sour?

"Shall we go take a look too?" Xia Mian suggested.

Anyway, having nothing to do, although Xia Weizhang’s initial motives weren’t pure, he hadn’t done anything harmful to her, arguably still a friend.

Lu Zechuan stood up, "If you want to go see, then let’s go see."

Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan stood up together, and as they exited, the customer, covered in a black veil, was happily carrying the three Earth Spirit Stones exchanged from Su Bai, the clerk.

As the two brushed past each other, Xia Mian seemed to sense a familiar aura on the visitor.

Instinctively, her fingers moved slightly, leaving a tracking talisman on them.

****

The back hill of the Divine Clan is a forbidden area. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

But in recent days, the visits to this forbidden area seemed rather frequent.

As soon as Xia Weizhang approached the forbidden area of the back hill, he could distinctly feel the spiritual power in his body gradually dissipating.

Once entering this forbidden, he would once again become an ordinary person.

"Ding Cheng, hadn’t you already left? Could it be that the Great Elder deceived me?" Xia Weizhang frowned deeply, a trace of profound worry in his eyes.

Just as Xia Weizhang was about to step into the Dry Wood Forest of the back hill, Xia Mian’s voice suddenly rang from behind, "Don’t go in!"

Xia Weizhang halted his steps, slowly turned around, looking at Xia Mian with puzzlement.

"Have you thought this could be a trap?" Xia Mian lightly furrowed her brows, "What if other clan members are ambushed in this Dry Wood Forest, you go in and become an ordinary person, wouldn’t that mean being at their mercy?"

Xia Weizhang’s brows tightened, "Even so, I have to go check."

What if, what if Ding Cheng is here, besieged by others, wouldn’t that be a difficult situation?

Seeing her words didn’t move him, Xia Mian didn’t persuade him further.

Originally thought Xia Weizhang was a scheming wolf in sheep’s clothing, but didn’t expect him to be so earnest once set on something.

"Cousin, I’ll just go see by myself, you and Mr. Lu don’t need to come along." Xia Weizhang perceived Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan’s intention and politely declined their goodwill, "If something happens to you here, even dying ten thousand times, I couldn’t explain to the Divine Master."

Xia Mian smiled gently at this, "We aren’t restricted by this Dry Wood Forest’s prohibition, if we go with you, you’ll be safer."

Xia Weizhang’s expression faintly froze, for the first time thinking, this cousin by convenience is really not bad.

"Then, thanks for your kindness, cousin." Xia Weizhang smiled, this time his smile was genuine, sincere, and kind-hearted.

Xia Mian nodded, wrapping her arm around Lu Zechuan’s, they entered the Dry Wood Forest together.

The Dry Wood Forest was the same as when they came last time, enveloped in a chilling aura, making people feel suppressed.

As soon as Xia Weizhang entered the Dry Wood Forest, he felt all his spiritual power dissipate.

After walking only a short distance, he found a torn piece of fabric on the ground.

Xia Weizhang bent down to pick up the piece of fabric, his expression automatically changed. This piece of fabric was from Ding Cheng’s dress hem, he remembered.

"Ding Cheng..." Xia Weizhang lightly pressed his lips, the Divine Master clearly told the Great Elder to send Ding Cheng away, is the Great Elder defying orders, harming Ding Cheng?
