Shang Qingluo habitually tugged at the veil that covered half of his face. He glanced around fiercely, and his voice was indeed much lower. He took out a new veil from his bag and handed it to Xiang Xue: "Here."

"Find someone else to sell it, I don't have any money." He continued to eat the meat bun diligently without reaching out to pick it up.

She was telling the truth. The money she had originally was "borrowed" from a certain type of wealthy businessman, but she wouldn't pay it back.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Shang Qingluo's eyes, and he shouted softly: "Tie it up!"

He stuffed the last mouthful of meat buns into his mouth, started drinking tea, and refused at the same time: "No. Why do you have to tie it? It's not convenient to eat."[

"……you!"

Finally, he lost his temper and threw the veil back into the package. Shang Qingluo could faintly see veins popping out of his hand holding the cup. After a moment of anger, he turned back and asked in a low voice: "You, aren't you afraid of others laughing?"

"

Xiang Xue's calm and composed appearance made her suddenly feel that her various cover-ups were a bit meaningless and a bit ridiculous. Women are proud of those who please themselves. A scar no bigger than a copper coin has already caused her to be ridiculed and neglected, not to mention,

What's more, it's that kind of flesh scar, why can she be so indifferent...

He propped up his chin and tilted his head slightly to look around. Although there was a smile on his lips, his eyes were cold: "The only person in this world who has the right to look down on you is yourself. Not to mention a face, even if your hands and feet are broken off

, with a face like an evil ghost, if you have power, money, and ability, who can you be afraid of?"

The strange mother-in-law is definitely a typical example, Xiang Xue is convinced.

"Now, if you open your mouth to others, I can't control what they say behind their backs. However, if you say it in front of your face, that's another matter."

A chill suddenly ran down Shang Qingluo's spine. The man was clearly smiling, but she really didn't want to know what the so-called "other calculation" was.

In the evening, the two successfully arrived at Merchant Fort, located halfway up Yuguan Mountain.

Once inside, even Xiang Xue had to be speechless. It was also a domestic gatekeeper, but Yuanjiazhuang immediately fell behind compared to Merchant Fort.

The former is a rich peasant, and the latter is a wealthy family. The concept of class is indeed applicable throughout ancient and modern times.

Shang Qingluo seemed to be extremely afraid of attracting attention. As soon as he returned, he hurriedly took Xiang Xue to a place to settle down. He only said that he was a friend he had made in Donggu.

Logically speaking, the "Pearl of Enlightenment" should have been handed over to Shang Jinhong, the owner of Merchant Castle, that night. However, Shang Jinhong happened to be out for business in the past two days, so the thing was still left to Shang Qingluo for safekeeping, and it was also attacked by the Demon Cult.

There was no way to report it for a while.

Xiang Xue failed to see the legendary "gunpowder" for the first time.

It stands to reason that the entire fort belongs to someone named Shang, so it shouldn't be difficult to get a share of gunpowder. When Shang Qingluo came back with a dark face, she neither asked nor pressed.

Gunpowder, what’s so interesting about it?

The gunpowder of this era was at best a mixture of sulfur and saltpeter mixed with saponins, which she didn't care about.

Even the so-called priceless "secret recipe" can be memorized, and even, under sufficient conditions, it can be improved into a weapon several times more powerful.

The original "Temple Breaking Agreement" was just considering that the strange mother-in-law would find Shang Jinhong sooner or later, so for the sake of convenience, she simply went to the Merchant's Fort to wait for someone to come to her door.

Shang Qingluo broke the agreement halfway, just as someone expected.[
