Chapter 134

From the man's perspective, if someone dares to call their shop by such a grand name, the owner is either a hidden peak cultivator or someone who doesn't know the extent of their own abilities.

Given that the shop was located in such a remote alley, the second possibility seemed almost certain.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of the man's mouth. He was curious to see if this so-called Origin Mall lived up to its name.

As he walked into the shop, he saw shelves made of crystal-clear glass and decorations with a futuristic feel.

The man couldn't help but gasp. "Wow! Such extravagance!"

The price of these glass fixtures alone was staggering. But he still didn't know what products were sold in the store.

The man turned his eyes to Luo Chuan inside the shop.

"Are you the owner of this shop?" The man frowned slightly.

It was clear that Luo Chuan's appearance was beyond his expectations. The man had assumed that the owner of such a grand store would be someone impressive. But the young man in front of him, who looked like the boss, was at most in his twenties. How strong could he be?

"Yes, I am the boss," Luo Chuan nodded, his voice flat.

The man opened his mouth, trying to say something.

A surprised voice suddenly came from the shop door, diverting his attention.

"Xia Yuan? Why are you in the boss's shop?"

Ying Wuji, usually calm and composed, seemed genuinely surprised.

Behind Ying Wuji, seven students from Lingyun Academy followed, all looking at Xia Yuan with curiosity.

It seemed that Teacher Ying knew this person!

Fifteen students from Lingyun Academy had come to Jiuyao City on this trip. Since there were only ten virtual seats in Origin Mall, and to avoid occupying all the seats, Murong Haitang had divided them into two groups. One group came in the morning, the other in the afternoon, each led by a mentor.

Ying Wuji was a little surprised at this time; he hadn't expected to meet Xia Yuan at Origin Mall.

"I came to Jiuyao City for a stroll and discovered this place," Xia Yuan said casually.

"Could it be that you are the mentor leading the Xuanyue Academy this time?" Ying Wuji frowned slightly.

Xuanyue Academy was another prestigious academy on the Tianlan Continent, on par with Lingyun Academy. The identity of this man named Xia Yuan was now clear: he was a tutor at Xuanyue Academy!

Xia Yuan nodded.

The students from Xuanyue Academy had entered Jiuyao City more quietly than those from Lingyun Academy, but they had arrived around the same time, just two or three days ago.

Xia Yuan looked at the seven students behind Ying Wuji with interest. "Ying Wuji, why did you bring your students to this store?"

Now that Xia Yuan knew about Origin Mall, there was no point in hiding anything.

Ying Wuji replied indifferently, "Playing games."

With that, he pushed Xia Yuan aside and walked into Origin Mall with the seven students behind him.

Gu Yunxi and Jiang Wanshang were among the seven. The other five also looked at Ying Wuji with deep admiration.

Worthy of being our teacher Ying! So domineering!

At this point, Xia Yuan, who had been pushed aside, was still processing what he'd heard. He frowned, wondering if he had misheard.

What did Ying Wuji just say? He brought his students to this remote shop to play games?

Nonsense!

For a moment, Xia Yuan felt a strong surge of anger, feeling mocked.

After all, they were acquaintances. Was it really necessary to play such a joke on him?
