Chapter 17:

After Xiao Ren, Xiao Xi and Xiao Xing er got out from the Martial Arts Hall, Xiao Xi immediately began to walk as she pulled Xiao Ren and Xiao Xing er with her to go to the White Lily City.

"Big brother Ren and Sister Xing er, please walk faster what if the cakes got sold out? you two won't be able to taste all good flavor you know" Xiao Xi said as she feel that Xiao Ren and Xiao Xing er was walking to slow.

"We won't be able to taste all good flavor or you won't be able to taste it? and you really plan to eat all flavor huh" Xiao Ren said as he didn't know if he should cry or laugh at what Xiao Xi said.

Hearing the words of her big brother, Xiao Xi know that her plan got busted "Well of course we need to taste all flavors to know which is better" Xiao Xi said normally even when she know that her big brother know her plan, like she didn't know about it.

Xiao Xing er smile at the bickering of the two "Yeah I also want to taste all the flavors of the cakes" Xiao Xing er said to help Xiao Xi's plan to make Xiao Ren pay more.

When Xiao Ren heard Xiao Xing er's word, he turned his head to look at her and saw her looking at him with smirk smile and know that she was helping Xiao Xi making him silent. While Xiao Xi immediately jump and said while grinning "Yes! See, see big brother Sister Xing er wants to taste all the flavors of the cakes that's why we need to order all flavors"

"Uhh O-okay" Xiao Ren said as he nod his head knowing that if he didn't buy what her little sister want she will really pester him and Xiao Xing er is also with them so he just agreed to them.

The then three continued to walk towards the White Lily City, Xiao Xi was skipping in the front while humming as she imagined herself eating cakes, while Xiao Ren and Xiao Xing er was walking side by side in the back.

"Uhh Sister Xing er sorry for what happened this morning" Xiao Ren said while still looking in the way. "Humhp, don't you think I will forgive you just because you apologize to me" Xiao Xing er replied when she heard his words before she continued "and you should really forget what you saw" after saying this Xiao Xing er's face once again turned red because she heard his muttering earlier that he can't forget what he saw earlier morning.

"haaah okay I will try my best to forget it" Xiao Ren said to Xiao Xing er before muttering "even if I know that I can't" then after continuing to walk for thirty minutes the three arrived at the city gate and as usual they saw Mercenaries and Merchants lining up in front of the gate while waiting for the guard to check them before they were allowed to enter the city.

After the three wait in the line to enter the city, Xiao Ren, Xiao Xi and Xiao Xing er turned came to enter the White Lily City. After the three enter the gate they saw a prosperous atmosphere in the city where many people were walking while checking the item's that the merchant was selling in the side walk.

"Let's go faster Big brother Ren and Sister Xing er" Xiao Xi said and immediately pulled Xiao Ren and Xiao Xing er with her towards the Candie's and Sweet's while Xiao Ren and Xiao Xing er nod to this little girl that was really too excited.

As they were heading to the Candie's and Sweet's, Xiao Ren was looking in his left and right to check if he can find a treasure in the item's that the merchant was selling. When Xiao Ren, Xiao Xi and Xiao Xing er neared the building where the Candie's and Sweet's are, Xiao Ren felt a movement in his left chest pocket and when he take out what is moving there, he hold the stone crystal that shone and seemed like excited.

"Uhmm Sister Xing er and Xiao Xi can you go first to the Candie's and Sweet's? I just remember that I have to do something fast" Xiao Ren said because this was the first time the stone crystal react to something and he think that it was important.

"What are you going to do big brother, you're not going to escape from treating us are you?" Xiao Xi said as she thought that her brother was going to escape.

"Really junior brother Ren?" Xiao Xing er said as she also thought what Xiao Xi think when she heard him.

"No no I-I'm just going to buy something to the merchant so I thought you two may go to Candie's and Sweet's first without me" Xiao Ren denied before explaining to them.

"Hmmm then we can wait for you" Xiao Xing er said while staring at him while Xiao Xi nod her little head. "No need I will be really fast, so you can order and eat now and I think Xiao Xi really want to go now" Xiao Ren said with a smile.

Seeing his smile, Xiao Xing er nod and said "okay, but be fast. Let's go Xiao Xi" then Xiao Xing er tool Xiao Xi's hand before walking while Xiao Xi nod her head and said "Big brother Ren you must follow us fast" before following Xiao Xing er.

When Xiao Xing er and Xiao Xi left, Xiao Ren then go to the seller to the left where the stone crystal wants to go. The seller is an old man who sit on the floor and on his front is the item that he sell, when Xiao Ren arrived in front of the seller the stone crystal stop it's movement but Xiao Ren was not sure what Item the stone crystal wants because there were many in the item's like a red tile, rare metal, white stone and etc.

Xiao Ren doesn't know what the stone crystal wants so he picked the red tile and bring it close to the stone crystal but it did not react before putting it back before picking the rare metal but the stone crystal still did not react and he put it back before picking the white stone that he think it is just ordinary stone and will not made the stone crystal react but when he neared it to his pocket the stone crystal react shocking him but still put a calm face and put back the white stone "How much for this?" Xiao Ren ask the price while pointing at the rare metal.

Yes Xiao Ren was pointing at the rare metal because he thinks that if he shows an interest to an ordinary white stone it would be weird that's why he first ask the price for the metal.

"Hmm that is 10 silver coins" the old man replied to Xiao Ren.

"What? why don't you just rob me? this metal is small yet you want 10 silver coins?" Xiao Ren said as he thought that the price is high "I can buy it for four silver coins" Xiao Ren said while looking at the old man.

"Hmmm seven silver coins" the old man said

"Five silver coins" Xiao Ren replied

"Six silver coins that's the last offer" the old man said with a frown.

"Okay six but I will also got this two with the rare metal" Xiao Ren said as he pointed to the white stone and Red tile.

"Hmmm okay deal" the old man agreed as he think that those two other was not anything special.

After hearing the old man, Xiao Ren immediately paid him and take the rare metal, Red tile and the white stone with him before he left and go to the direction of the Candie's and Sweet's.

After Xiao Ren left the old man smiled and said with a laugh "haha that is why I like ignorant kids buying from me, I can trick them haha" while Xiao Ren was also laughing inside as he saw the old man laugh when he turned to one of the street and think inwardly 'you didn't trick me old man I'm the one who trick you heheh' then Xiao Ren left to go to the Candie's and Sweet's.
