C8 Mountain Flutter

A year ago, the news of the Yazi City wanting to establish a new city master had spread throughout the entire Shangye Continent, and along the way, it had also brought about a business opportunity that could not be ignored. Although it was hard for Lin Xiaoxun and the others to take advantage of this, they had earned ten percent more than they had expected.

Outside Yazi City, Lin Xiaoxun and his party camped in the forest open area outside the city after paying the land lease tax. They were thinking about whether they would be able to earn more money while resting and tidying up.

"Dad, can I go for a walk in the mountains?" Jun'er, who had recently become addicted to watching the mountain, looked at the busy Lin Xiaoxun.

"Going again?" Lin Xiaoxun frowned. Along the way, he would check every hill. Luckily, he didn't delay his trip because of that, but it always made him feel awkward.

"Since I have to stay here for a few days, I have nothing to do, no?" Jun'er giggled as she looked at Lin Xiaoxun. After all, the enthronement ceremony was in two days. Although the people outside the city were very busy, it had nothing to do with him.

"Don't run too far. Remember to bring your Uncle Zhang along." The Uncle Zhang that Lin Xiaoxun mentioned was the hulk who suggested to let Jun'er see the mountain.

"Got it!" "Okay," Jun'er answered, putting her bag on her back and ran away.

"You should go as well!" Lin Xiaoxun said without turning his head back.

"Yes." Duan Lee only heard the sound and didn't see the person's response. Afterwards, he was startled by the wind and everything became calm again.

"Merchant Lin, come over here and take a look. How should we deal with this!" Someone called out to him from afar. Lin Xiaoxun turned around and glanced at him, then turned around and walked over.

The encampment area was abnormally busy because of the reigning ceremony, forming a strong contrast to the quiet mountain forest.

Jun'er, who was supposed to be bringing Uncle Zhang up the mountain with her, saw that the other party was too busy to even talk, so she decided to give up and go up the mountain herself.

It was still early, so he was not in a hurry to wander around. If he saw valuable herbs on the way, he would dig them into his bag without leaving a trace. Rather than looking at the mountain, he might as well play.

Jun'er raised her head to look at the top of the mountain and saw a protruding boulder. She walked up the mountain with the intention of gaining a good view of the mountain, but she didn't expect that someone would get there first.

Jun'er was somewhat hesitant as she didn't know whether or not she should get closer to that slender figure who was sitting on the mountain rock and gazing into the distance.

Just as Jun'er was hesitating, the person sitting on the stone seemed to have noticed Jun'er's presence. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at her, and the sight of her beautiful face stunned Jun'er on the spot.

Seeing Jun'er's dazed expression, the people sitting on the rocks subconsciously smiled. Just as they were about to stand up, they suddenly felt the mountain breeze move them away.

"Be careful!" Jun'er saw the opponent sway and couldn't help but shout out as she was about to charge forward. However, when she took a step forward, her neck froze on the spot.

Jun'er lowered her head to look at the icy cold sword on her neck, causing her to gasp in fear. Then, she looked up in panic at the burly man who had placed the sword on her neck.

"Shan Yin, that was just a child." Seeing that the man had unsheathed his sword, the slim figure that had descended from the stone platform, could not help but murmur to himself.

Hearing this, Shan Yin looked at his master who was walking towards him. He put away his sword without any change in his expression, which made Jun'er heave a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry, my friend didn't mean to scare you. I hope you don't mind." Jun'er was a handsome man, and her voice was soft, making Jun'er feel comfortable listening to her speak.

"It's alright, I was rude. Please forgive me, young master." If he hadn't screamed and wanted to rush forward, the other party wouldn't have done this to him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the chance to arrive here.

"You're too polite." The Young Master sized Jun'er up as he responded, curiosity couldn't be hidden in his eyes.

"You're not a local, are you?" The Young Master looked at Jun'er with raised eyebrows and then asked softly.

"Can you tell?" Jun'er looked at him in surprise.

"Local people don't come to this sort of place." The young master replied with a chuckle.

"Why? This place is so beautiful, and there are also many precious herbs …! " At this point, Jun'er hastily covered her mouth as a hint of vexation flashed across her face. She then sneakily looked at the young master in front of her.

"Oh? Do you even know how to look at medicinal herbs? " The young master looked at Jun'er curiously.

"A little!" Jun'er could only reply with a hollow laugh, regretting her words. If the matter of him stealing the medicinal ingredients were to be reported to the government, it would bring about a lot of trouble.

"But, you seem to know more than just a little!" As the Young Master spoke, he glanced at the bag on Jun'er's back, causing her to hurriedly cover her mouth and stamp her feet.

"That's all I have. I'll give it all to you. You can't tell anyone else!" Jun'er, who didn't want to be sent to the government, took off her bag and passed it to the Young Master in front of her.

He couldn't help but ask when he understood Jun'er's somewhat surprised actions.

"Are you a refugee?" Only the refugees would be afraid of others knowing about the harvest. As he had said, the locals would not go to such a deep and lush place, and the outsiders would not appear alone, let alone a child. Thus, the only explanation was …

"…" Jun'er bit her lips and lowered her head. She did not say anything and retreated two steps at the same time.

Such a clear distance away made the young master's eyebrows rise. When Shan Yin, who was beside him wanted to go forward, he waved his hand to stop him and then squatted in front of Jun'er.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. You can keep these." The Young Master glanced at the backpack Jun'er handed to him.

Unable to believe what she had just heard, Jun'er raised her head and looked at him in shock. The plan to escape that she had been planning since a moment ago was now useless.

"Really? You really won't tell? Can I keep these too? " Jun'er asked uncertainly.

"Right." The Young Master nodded as he looked at Jun'er, who was so excited that she almost cried out. He couldn't help but smile as well.

"Thank you, Young Noble! You're such a good person! "She's completely different from other people, no wonder she's so beautiful!" Jun'er threw her backpack back onto her back as she spoke.

"How dare you!" "You …!" What are you talking about? Before Shan Yin could finish his sentence, he was coldly glared at by the Young Master. He then silently made Jun'er frown as she looked at him.

"I'm a man, isn't it inappropriate to use the word beautiful to describe me?" The Young Master looked at Jun'er with a funny expression.

"Ah!" Then he was truly lacking in manners! En …! Young Master is so good, no wonder you're so handsome. " Jun'er thought for a moment before she added with a smile.

"Your mouth is so sweet." The young master seemed to be very happy.

"Because I'm only telling the truth!" Jun'er replied with a natural smile.

"In that case, can you tell me your purpose in coming up? It shouldn't be just for the herbs, right? " If that was the case, then he should have been able to pick them from the mountainside. What was he planning to do at this place where rocks littered the top of the mountain for no reason?

"Err …!" Jun'er was slightly stunned, unsure if she should speak the truth. However, the other party did not look like a bad person, and even allowed him the medicinal ingredients.

"You can't tell others what I've told you!" Jun'er looked at her young master cautiously.

"Of course." The Young Master walked in front of Jun'er and was stopped by a wave of his hand just as Shan Yin was about to speak.

"I'm learning to look at the mountains. That way, I can find the mines and mine them to make a lot of money." Jun'er whispered into his ear.

"You said to look at the mountain?" Surprise flashed across his face, and the young master couldn't help but cry out.

"Shh!" Don't scream! I haven't learned it yet! " Jun'er looked at the young master in annoyance. If anyone were to find out about this now, they would definitely be laughed at.

"Hahaha!" What you are saying is like you will definitely learn it. Watching the mountain is not something that can be learned just because you want to, not to mention … " How are you going to learn from a refugee? The Young Master looked suspiciously at Jun'er.

"That's hard to say, isn't it because of human nature?" Jun'er arrogantly raised her head, making the Young Master chuckle.

"But there are so many profit-making professions, why should we look at the mountains?" If he were to pick medicinal herbs like this, wouldn't he be able to earn a living? Why do you have to go through so much trouble?

"Because it can make a lot of money!" Jun'er answered without thinking, causing the young master to raise his eyebrows.

"Oh? What do you want to do with all that money? " The Young Master curiously asked as he sized up Jun'er.

"Of course it's to buy land!" It was rare for her to be able to chat with others in such an amicable manner, thus, Jun'er didn't hide anything from him.

"Buy land? What do you want to buy land for? " The young master looked at Jun'er, his gaze becoming more and more confused.

"Aiya! "Of course it's …!" Jun'er patiently shared her thoughts, not noticing that her young master was frowning as he listened.

"When the time comes, we will have our own land, and then we will have our own home. We will no longer have to worry about being chased away!" As Jun'er said this, her face was full of expectation. Her expression was so yearning that it made the Young Master's eyes flash with a faint light. Then, she exchanged a glance with Shan Yin.

"I'm really looking forward to that!" If it's possible, you can come to my place to buy the land! " The Young Master looked at Jun'er and said.

"Young master!" Hearing this, Shan Yin couldn't help but shout while Young Master looked at him and shook his head.

"Are you serious? Will you sell me the land? We have a lot of people! It takes a lot of land to buy a whole village. Do you have one? " It wasn't that Jun'er wanted to suspect that he was buying a house, but a village!

"Let's not talk about anything else. There are still a lot of land here." The young master looked at Jun'er in amusement as he replied.

"Great, I was still worried! This is because our current residence is not a good place. Since that county governor isn't good, he definitely won't sell us land so easily. Jun'er couldn't help but start planning it out.

"Then after you earn enough money, come find me!" As the young master spoke, he took out a pendant from his robes. It was made of pure wood and looked quite strange.

"Young master!" This time, it was still Shan Yin who shouted. His expression couldn't help but turn anxious, but in the end, he was stared at by Young Master.

"Take this and treat it as a keepsake." As the Young Master spoke, he placed the pendant in Jun'er's hand.

Jun'er didn't expect it to be so formal. She looked at the young master with a frown, then looked at Shan Yin, who was standing behind the young master with a dark face. She didn't know what he was thinking, but …

"Then we have an agreement." Jun'er took the pendant from the young master and took out a small bag from her pocket.

"Since it is a deal, then it must be of equal value. I will take your keepsake and treat this as my deposit!" Jun'er opened the bag in her hands. Inside was the crystal mine that he had picked up earlier. He had polished it beautifully, like a half-opened lotus, glowing under the sunlight.

Shan Yin and Young Master were both surprised that Jun'er had such an item in her hands.
