C621 Black Mist Old Man
Ye Chen heard the old man's voice, turned around and saw that the old man was already holding a wrapped bag of tea in his hand.
Ye Chen suddenly remembered what he said just now. He said he wanted to buy a packet of tea, but he was too excited and forgot about it. Ye Chen shook his head and laughed involuntarily, thinking to himself, "This old man is really not that bad, he clearly said there's no need!"
It seems like this is what it means to say that you don't want it, but your body is very honest?
Ye Chen walked forward: "Look at me, I was too anxious. I forgot about the important matter. How much are these tea leaves?"
Unexpectedly, the old man just smiled and pushed the tea leaves into Ye Chen's hands, "My tea leaves are too expensive!"
Zhao Yingying immediately felt that this old man was taking the opportunity to blackmail her. She was already dissatisfied with this old man, but now she became even more furious. If it weren't for Sang Kun holding her back, she would have already rushed over. However, the old man's next words had changed Zhao Yingying's impression of him greatly.
Although Ye Chen was more or less unhappy, he still maintained his attitude and took out his wallet: "Haha, that's nothing. Just tell me how much it is!"
"How much is it? "Those who don't understand, no matter how much you give me, I won't sell it. As for those who know tea, I won't accept any money!"
With that, the old man pointed at the tea leaves that Ye Chen had wrapped for him in his hands, "This, take it back and drink. If you drink it well, help me advertise and come back to buy again in the future. But today, I don't want a single cent from you! "
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment and stopped what he was doing. He raised his head and looked at the old man: "Grandpa, no, this is not appropriate..."
Without waiting for Ye Chen to finish, the old man stopped him: "Nothing is inappropriate. To be honest, basically no one makes this kind of tea now!"
"There are a lot of processes and it will take a lot of time. The most important thing is that the cost is not low either. However, people nowadays knew very little, and what they saw in their eyes were all those so-called high-end tea leaves! "Therefore, there is no need to make more of these tea leaves."
"But you are different. I can tell that you do understand! So, you don't have to decline anymore. People say that it's a gift from the willing to the fated! "
While saying that, he pushed Ye Chen to the side: "I've said what I need to say, I've already given you everything, so go there quickly and find the person you want. Otherwise, if he disappears later, don't blame me!"
Ye Chen gazed at this weird old man and thought to himself, "I didn't expect him to be a wondrous person!"
"Alright, since that's the case, then I won't refuse anymore!" "Long journey with high mountains and high roads. Old Master, we will meet again in the future!" With that, Ye Chen left with the two of them.
Only the old man was left standing on the spot, silently watching them. His eyes were filled with a strange emotion. He didn't seem sad at all, but he felt that there was something in those eyes.
What was even weirder was that aside from He Biao and Ye Chen, no one else seemed to have noticed this old man!
When everyone walked past his stall and in front of him, no one looked at him. It was as if this person did not exist! When Ye Chen and the rest had completely disappeared, the stall in front of the old man suddenly turned into black smoke and floated up.
After the black smoke drifted away, it gathered around the old man's face, completely covering it.
If someone were to see this old man at this time, they would realize that under the cover of the black fog, they could clearly see the outline of this old man's face, but no matter what they said, they couldn't see just how this old man looked!
This old man was the one who had helped him solve the problem when Yan Hai Dong summoned the Ancient Witch Sect. He had also been following Ye Chen and the others around a few times, hiding in a dark corner.
Today, this person had directly appeared here, and no one knew his true identity or purpose.
After this old man revealed his true appearance, logically speaking, he should have been more eye-catching. However, what made people curious was that no matter if it was a passerby or a nearby peddler, they would not be able to see him.
After Ye Chen and the others left, this old man whose face was covered in a black mist seemed to have lost interest in the people and things here. He turned around and left.
This old man's movements were mysterious; he came and left without a trace, giving people the feeling that he was the mastermind behind all this. He silently pushed everything that was happening behind his back …
However, just when this old man gave Ye Chen and the others some clues, He Biao and the little girl had finished eating at the hotpot restaurant. Just as they were about to walk out the door, Ye Chen and the others walked into a hotpot restaurant beside them.
Just as Ye Chen and co. entered the door, He Biao brought the little girl out.
As for Ye Chen, after searching for a while, he obviously found nothing. He turned around and went to another place to search. Unfortunately, the last restaurant had just entered the hotpot restaurant where He Biao had just been eating.
Looking at the few hot pot restaurants that were smashed into smithereens, Ye Chen knew that the old man must have not lied to him. He Biao must have come over, otherwise these hot pot restaurants wouldn't have ended up like this.
However, after searching through almost every hot pot restaurant on this street, he still couldn't find any traces of He Biao.2
With the mindset of giving it a try, Ye Chen, Sang Kun, and Zhao Yingying walked into the last hot pot restaurant on the street.
Sure enough, after questioning the receptionist, Ye Chen confirmed that He Biao had just eaten here! But half an hour ago, He Biao had already left this place.
Half an hour … Wasn't this the moment they entered the hotpot restaurant beside them?
Could it be that he had just brushed past He Biao?
Ye Chen slapped his thigh in anger. How is this possible? Experts like He Biao should definitely react if they were to be near him.
But what was going on today? Why was there no reaction at all? This was abnormal!
At any rate, Ye Chen felt a burst of regret in his heart. He Biao actually passed by him and Ye Chen didn't react at all? Could it be that he had been too busy recently and there was something wrong with his body?
Actually, what Ye Chen suspected wasn't unreasonable, but he might not have thought that it was because he smelled something special …
