Super Soldier in Campus

Chapter 1102 - 1107: Gifted Treasure

"Of course, I’ll use my card...who carries that much cash around..." Lin Feng casually smiled at Su Zi, then turned to the beautiful shopkeeper.Su Zi was stunned again. If it weren’t for her longstanding trust in Lin Feng, she might genuinely worry that he was bewitched by the shop’s people, hence the spending spree.

The beautiful shopkeeper, seeing Lin Feng straightforwardly handing over his card and swiping 6.5 million on her POS machine, couldn’t help but cast a surprised glance at Lin Feng.

"Didn’t expect it, you’re quite a sport!"

Lin Feng replied with a calm smile, holding the secret manual in one hand while casually asking the beautiful shopkeeper, "May I ask if your surname is Lu?"

Lin Feng remembered the white-bearded old man saying his surname was Lu last time.

Su Zi misunderstood Lin Feng’s gesture, thinking he was hitting on the beautiful shopkeeper and purposely spending a fortune. Seeing Lin Feng’s gaze, she couldn’t help but feel a bit bitter.

"You even know my surname..." The beautiful shopkeeper was even more surprised, her beautiful eyes twinkling as she looked Lin Feng up and down again, "Do you know my grandfather?"

"If your grandfather is an old man with white brows and beard, and he visited Jiangzhou a few months ago...I think I might have met him..." Lin Feng nodded and said.

"Oh, I heard grandpa talk about...you’re the fool who bought the Mystery Deduction Technique..." the beautiful shopkeeper smiled sweetly at Lin Feng, her face full of girlish laughter.

Lin Feng’s face turned dark. He couldn’t understand why he was considered a fool.

"Hehe...I remember grandpa mentioned, your name is Lin Feng, right?!" The shopkeeper walked out from behind the counter, stepping lightly to Lin Feng, and smiled, "My name is Lu Lu, the old white-bearded man you mentioned, Lu Yuming, is my grandfather! My grandpa often says, he sells books according to his mood, meeting him is already a fateful affair, and those willing to spend money on books are incredibly fortunate. You’ve met my grandpa twice, so you could say you’re fated...thinking about it this way, you’re an old customer..."

After speaking, the young girl named Lu Lu continued to look Lin Feng up and down with a playful smile as if pondering why Lin Feng was so easily duped...

Lin Feng had a vague feeling that Lu Lu’s gaze on him was not entirely friendly, like...she was staring at a walking wallet...

"Cough, cough..." Lin Feng coughed softly, suppressing his unease, and smiled at Lu Lu, "Speaking of which, I have some business I’d like to discuss with Old Mr. Lu. Do you know when he’ll be back?"

"He’s selling books to make money in Lingnan..." Lu Lu responded instinctively, then quickly explained with an awkward smile, "It’s not because I spend too much, he’s just too bored..."

Lin Feng’s face froze again; this Lu Lu girl really is innocent, seemingly without any wariness...

Su Zi was even more curious about the mysterious Lu Lu. She could see there wasn’t any romantic connection between Lin Feng and Lu Lu.

This Lu Lu seemed genuinely naive, like someone completely untouched by worldly affairs...and exceptionally innocent, her smile as pure as a child’s, as white as paper.

This pure little maiden probably wouldn’t have any entanglements with Lin Feng, right? Su Zi speculated.

"Right...since you’re an old customer, I should give you a gift!" Lu Lu smiled as she glanced at Lin Feng, then retrieved a black object from the shelf behind her, happily offering it to Lin Feng, "I think you might need this, take it!"

Lin Feng glanced at the item in Lu Lu’s hand; it was a small black sandalwood box, with an unadorned appearance and an unrefined pattern. It didn’t look like anything high-end...but since it was a gift, it probably wasn’t anything of great value...

As he took the box from Lu Lu, Lin Feng casually asked, "Miss Lu, may I know what this gift is?"

"You’ll know once you open it...I need to go online now, if you’re done here, you can leave, don’t disturb me!" Lu Lu said, picking up a tablet and not even looking up as she dismissed Lin Feng and Su Zi.

Lin Feng was defeated by Lu Lu yet again; this girl really was a handful.

However, since the shopkeeper didn’t want them to stay, neither Lin Feng nor Su Zi had any reason to linger. Grabbing the many bags of Su Zi’s things, Lin Feng took Su Zi’s hand and headed out the door.

After stepping out, Su Zi instinctively turned around, and to her surprise, found that the shop behind them had vanished, replaced by a brick wall...a wall of green bricks!

"Lin Feng..." Su Zi’s eyes widened, her voice trembling a bit with fear. If Lin Feng weren’t beside her, she might have screamed, thinking she’d seen a ghost in broad daylight...

"Don’t be afraid..." Lin Feng chuckled softly; he was used to strange goings in the cultivation world...

Su Zi still felt a little afraid and glanced around, only slightly relieved to see the bustling commercial street remained...

Little did Lin Feng know, not long after they left, the white-bearded old man Lu Yuming returned to the small shop on the commercial street, only to have the following conversation with his precious granddaughter...

"Little Lu, have you seen the Forbidden Breaking Pill I left on the cabinet shelf behind the counter? I clearly remember putting it in a sandalwood box, and now it’s gone. I was planning to give it as a gift to my master at the end of the year..."

"You mean the thing in the ugly box? I gave it away."

"Ah, who did you give it to?"

"To that guy you mentioned who spent a fortune buying books from you twice...he came to the store today and bought an Innate Qi Return Technique for 6.5 million. I figured since he’s an old customer, I’d give him that ugly box..."

"Little Lu...do you know...the Forbidden Breaking Pill is worth millions and is incredibly rare, I searched for a long time to find it...and you, you just gave it away?"

"Oh? Really? For something so precious, you should have kept it better, not just shoved it in a shabby box; I thought it was trash..."

"You..."

...

After leaving the commercial street, Lin Feng and Su Zi didn’t return directly to the Su Family mansion or the grand estate; instead, guided by Su Zi, they arrived at a small apartment complex near the shopping area and walked into a two-bedroom flat.

"This is a place my aunt secretly bought for me for my eighteenth birthday..." Su Zi smiled at Lin Feng, "She told me not to tell my dad because he would definitely refuse. I kept it because it’s convenient for shopping here..."
