Chapter 2100 The artifact that is missed(1/2)

"Kids, don't talk nonsense." Li Xuehao blocked Sawai Yuko's mouth with one hand and pressed her head with the other. The little girl didn't know who she learned this crazy talk from.

"Woooooo~~" Sawai Yuko couldn't make a sound and could only stare at him in protest.

"Xiang Zhizi, is there anything else you want? I'll buy it for you. Don't even think about some guy who likes to talk nonsense." Li Xuehao looked at Mizuhashi Kachiko with a very obvious hint in his words.

"Thank you, big brother." Mizuhashi Kachiko was extremely happy.

Sawai Yuko, who understood the hint, had a pitiful expression on her face and blinked her eyes, as if to express that she would not talk nonsense anymore.

Feeling her sincerity, Li Xuehao let go of his hand, and the little girl quickly hugged his arm: "Brother Haoer, if I like something, you will also buy it for me, right?"

"Then it depends on whether you are obedient." Li Xuehao gave her a meaningful look.

"I will be very obedient." Sawai Yuko said obediently immediately, hugging his arm tighter.

This scene was like a strange uncle trying to seduce little Luoli with a lollipop, but Mizuhashi Ryoko and several others next to her knew that someone was afraid that she would say something embarrassing again, so they said this specifically.

Saying goodbye to the young people setting up stalls, Li Xuehao and his group continued to visit the flea market.

Sawai Yuko and Mizuhashi Kachiko are still in high spirits. They are both looking for something they like. Anyway, the eldest brother (Koji brother) will buy it for them in the end.

Ryoko Mizuhashi and Princess Yoko were chatting, and they didn't know what they were chatting about. Princess Reiko and Miho Honma were shaking their rattles and looking around, as if they wanted to find something interesting.

Li Xuehao followed behind Yuko Sawai and Kachiko Mizuhashi. He had to take good care of these two little ones.

When he passed a street stall, his heart palpitated for no reason, and he stopped involuntarily.

Because of the sudden stop, Princess Yoko, who was following closely behind, bumped into him and was bounced back. Fortunately, Miho Honma, who was at the back, had the quick eyesight and hands to hold her, otherwise she would probably have fallen hard.

"Hey, Manaka, don't you know there's someone behind you?" Miho Honma glared at the culprit in front of him who almost caused Princess Yoko to fall.

"Sorry, I was just thinking about something." Li Xuehao apologized quickly and looked at Princess Yoko behind him, who was a little aggrieved, "Miss Yoko, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Princess Yoko shook her head. Perhaps because of his concern and apology, she felt a little less aggrieved.

Li Xuehao turned around and looked at the stalls at his feet. They were all ceramics, old wall clocks, old books, hanging scrolls, utensils and other things that seemed to be of some age. The stall owner was also a young man, but he was different from the young man before.

He was far different, with yellow hair, a thin figure, and a pair of small eyes that shone shrewdly or cunningly.

"What I have here are all antiques, passed down from my great-grandfather's generation. Guest, if you need it, I can give you a discount." Huang Mao spoke very smoothly, probably because he had said this before.

Countless times.

Li Xuehao squatted down and grabbed an old desk clock: "How much does this cost?"

"This is my great-grandfather's favorite clock. It is said to have been used by Lord Heung-seon Daewon. It has a history of more than a hundred years. Unfortunately, it is too old and has broken down and cannot be used. Now you can get it for only 180,000

Take it away." Huang Mao introduced enthusiastically.

"180,000?" Li Xuehao frowned. This is a flea market. Generally, items only cost a few hundred to a few thousand won, and items worth tens of thousands are rare, let alone hundreds of thousands. This guy is definitely not here to cause trouble.

?

"Actually, it's already very cheap. This is an antique." Huang Mao thought he thought it was expensive and continued, "If the customer really wants it, it can be cheaper..."

"No need." Li Xuehao put down the clock and picked up something like a jade bracelet. The jade bracelet was overall emerald green in color. Unfortunately, the emerald green was mixed with specks of gray, making it look like a jade bracelet.

Dozens of drops of ink dripped into a perfect picture, making the whole painting worthless. "How much does this cost?"

"This is..." Huang Mao was about to boast that this was used by a big shot, but Li Xuehao interrupted him directly, "Just tell me how much it costs."

"...20,000?" Huang Mao hesitated and quoted a price.

Li Xuehao's face remained calm: "About 2000."

"2000 is too little, guest, I..." Huang Mao looked bitter, but there was a hint of secret joy in his eyes. Li Xuehao interrupted him again, "You picked this up somewhere? Although you washed it

It's clean, but you can still see some dirt, look..." Then, she pointed out the dark spots on the jade bracelet to him.

"Guest, this is jade." Huang Mao pointed to the emerald green part of the jade bracelet, somewhat unwillingly.

"Don't tell me that jadeite has this color." Li Xuehao said, pointing to the speckled gray.

"Okay, I'll sell it to you for 2,000." Huang Mao finally agreed. He probably picked it up and it didn't cost any money.

Li Xuehao paid the money and was secretly glad in his heart. He didn't expect that he would get such a reward just by casually shopping around.

After leaving the stall, Sawai Yuko couldn't help but ask: "Brother Koji, what did you buy? It looks so ugly." Because the emerald green jade bracelet was covered with gray spots and marks, it looked like it had been stained by something.

It looks like it's dirty. Even if it falls on the ground, people who care a little bit about cleanliness won't be willing to pick it up.

"A very interesting thing." Li Xuehao played with the jade bracelet in his hand. Although he no longer needed this thing, he would not dislike it if there was one more.

"Interesting?" Sawai Yuko couldn't understand what was so interesting about something so ugly.

Although Ryoko Mizuhashi, Princess Yoko and others didn't know what was interesting about that thing, since someone bought it, it must have value.

"Can I take a look?" Princess Yoko suddenly asked.

Li Xuehao didn't hesitate and handed her the jade bracelet. It was absolutely impossible for ordinary people to discover its value.

Princess Yoko took the jade bracelet, and Princess Ryoko Mizuhashi and Princess Reiko also looked over. They seemed to want to see what was so special about this ugly thing.

Because it is in her own hand, Princess Yoko can clearly feel its weight. As a member of the royal family, she naturally understands the value of jade. However, the jade bracelet in her hand contains too many impurities and is not worth it at all.

Not worth much money.

But when someone buys it, they can't just take it at face value.

She weighed it a few times and even tried to put it on her wrist, but the ugly color made it even more ugly when worn on her white jade wrist.

"Manaka-kun, can you tell me the value of this thing?" Princess Yoko took off the jade bracelet, but did not hand it back to him, but asked curiously.

"To a certain extent, this thing is an artifact." Li Xuehao said after thinking about it.

"Sacred weapon?" Princess Yoko was surprised. Princess Reiko and others next to her also became interested, "Sister, show me."

Princess Yoko refused deliberately. She hadn't seen enough yet, but her sister had already reached out to take it, and she was snatched away without noticing.

"What does it do?" Holding it in her hand, Princess Reiko also tried to wear it. Perhaps because of the "artifact", she didn't find it ugly, but thought it suited her hand very well.

"You will know when we get back." It was not easy for Li Xuehao to perform for them in public.

Although Princess Reiko was disappointed, she also knew that it was inconvenient here. She reluctantly took off her jade bracelet and was about to hand it back to him, but her sister suddenly snatched it away.

"Before you go back, let me study it for a while." Princess Yoko said.

"Yeah." Li Xuehao had no objection. She couldn't research anything anyway.

Several people continued to browse the flea market. An old man passing by saw the jade bracelet that Princess Yoko was playing with, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he stopped her.

"Miss, can I see what you have on your hand?" The old man is probably in his sixties, with gray hair, but his eyes are bright and his demeanor is calm. You can tell at a glance that he is not an ordinary old man.

Princess Yoko was startled. The key was that she could not understand the Korean spoken by the other party, but she could see him staring closely at the jade bracelet in his hand and quickly put it away vigilantly.

"Don't worry, I didn't mean any harm. I just wanted to take a look at that thing." The old man probably knew that his sudden move could easily cause misunderstandings, so he quickly remedied it.

"Miss Yoko, don't be nervous, he just wants to see the jade bracelet." Li Xuehao had already sensed from the old man the first time he appeared that this was no ordinary old man.

"Are you Japanese?" After hearing what he said, the old man immediately reacted and switched to Japanese, "Yes, I don't mean any harm, I just want to see what you have in your hand."

"This is not mine." Princess Yoko was a little surprised that the old man could speak fluent Japanese, which at least eliminated the need for communication between the two parties.

"Isn't it yours, miss? Who does it belong to?" the old man asked eagerly.

"It's mine." Li Xuehao took over. At the same time, he also understood the reason for the old man's eagerness. Unfortunately, he could not satisfy the other party.

"Does it belong to this little brother?" The old man immediately looked at him, hiding the excitement in his eyes, "This little thing is very interesting. Did you buy it here? My granddaughter likes to collect these weird things.

Brother, please sell it to me, I can pay double the price."

"Not for sale." Li Xuehao shook his head.

"Brother, I really like it. Let's do this. I'll pay three times the price." The old man gestured with three fingers.

"I won't sell it for thirty times." Li Xuehao continued to shake his head.

"I can pay a hundred times!" The old man seemed to be angry.

Next to them, Ryoko Mizuhashi and Princess Yoko were silent, but they were also more curious about the jade bracelet that someone bought, because someone paid a hundred times the price, which means that they probably saw its intrinsic value.

"Old sir, forget it. You can see its value, and so can I." Li Xuehao simply exposed the matter.

The old man's expression suddenly became solemn, and he looked at him carefully, and his eyes gradually became surprised: "It turns out that everyone is... It's me who is rude. In this case, I will say it bluntly, this is a token of my master's sect.

"Brother, you can make a price." The meaning is very clear, if you bid as much as possible, he will not hesitate to buy it back.

Li Xuehao smiled faintly and took the ugly jade bracelet from Princess Yoko. There was no movement. The jade bracelet disappeared directly in his hand: "This is not for sale." More importantly, he did not believe that it was the other party's disciple.

It’s a token, you know, you can’t open this thing without spiritual energy. There is no spiritual energy on the other party, but there is the kind of gloomy energy similar to that of Onmyoji, which is similar to the young woman who calls himself Wudang he saw in the fortune-telling cafe yesterday.

It's the same, but much more powerful.

The old man saw the jade bracelet disappearing in his hand, his eyes flashed, and finally he said reluctantly: "Brother, do you really not want to think about it? I can exchange it for something of equal value, and I guarantee that I will let you

satisfy."

"I don't think so." Li Xuehao directly rejected his proposal. How could he let go of the good things he got? What's more, the other party didn't know what the thing was, so how could he get something of equal value in exchange?

Under the disappointed gaze of the old man, he took Sawai Yuko and others away.



In the afternoon, everyone walked around Hongdae and rested for a while in a cafe. In the evening, the group took a modified luxury bus back to the hotel.
