Chapter 137
137 Girls Can Also Be Responsible
After hanging up, Gu Man could not help but heave a sigh of relief. She was still not used to such concern.
In her previous life, she was all alone. Apart from some servants, the person she was closest to was her master. However, her master was also a person of few words, so every time she faced such warm concern, Gu Man was not used to it.
When Gu Man rushed to the ancient city, it was almost midnight.
Just as she reached the entrance of the ancient city, she saw Jiang Yi already standing there.
Jiang Yi was wearing tattered jeans, a grayish-black oversized T-shirt, and a black bucket hat that covered half of his face. It would definitely be difficult to find him in the ghost market when he’s dressed like this.
Gu Man couldn’t help but nod. He was indeed an expert and kept a low profile.
Jiang Yi also saw Gu Man. He greeted her with a smile from afar. “I thought you weren’t coming.”
“You came very early?” Gu Man saw Jiang Yi stretch his feet.
“It’s been half an hour. I had something on, so I came over to wait,” Jiang Yi explained.
Gu Man nodded. “It’s almost midnight. Let’s walk in.”
Gu Man and Jiang Yi walked into the ancient street for a while. The ghost market had yet to form at this time, so they waited by a pillar by the street.
There were also some people who came early and were secretly sizing each other up.
Gu Man was also dressed in dark clothes today. She wore a black baseball cap and had a slender and tall figure. Anyone who saw her could tell that she was a young girl.
Almost no young girls would step foot into this place. Some people started whispering.
“Young people these days are really novel. They even come to a place like the ghost market for dates.”
“Boys nowadays know how to play tricks. He brought a girl to such a scary place to show off his masculinity. If something happens, he can even save the damsel in distress.”
“They don’t even care about their own safety when dating. They’re really young and insensible.”
When Jiang Yi heard those people’s words, his handsome face heated up. Fortunately, the light was dim and it could not be seen clearly.
However, Gu Man did not pay attention to what those people said. She tilted her head slightly and asked Jiang Yi, “Do you have something you’re looking for tonight?”
Jiang Yi couldn’t wait for Gu Man to talk to him so that he wouldn’t pay attention to those people, so he quickly replied, “It’s mainly to look at some antiques. I know someone that sells antiques. If you find a good item, just sell it to him. Do you have anything specific you’re looking for?”
Gu Man did not answer, but asked, “Have you heard of a sarira appearing here?”
“Sarira? You’re looking for it?” Jiang Yi was a little surprised. Why was a young girl looking for such a strange thing?
Gu Man nodded, but she did not have much hope. After all, this thing was extremely rare.
Sure enough, Jiang Yi said, “I’ve never heard of such a thing, but I can help you ask around.”
Gu Man nodded and asked, “Will there be a large stone gambling market in the ghost market?”
Hearing Gu Man’s question, Jiang Yi was shocked again. Gu Man knew about stone gambling? He usually played this, but he only had small profits. He had little capital and was not good at appraising stones.”
Jiang Yi asked Gu Man in surprise, “You want to go stone gambling? That’s a huge risk. One stone can lead to heaven and another to hell. Some people get rich overnight, while others lose everything overnight.”
“Can’t I?”
Under the light, Jiang Yi saw Gu Man’s lips curl up and her eyes seemed to glow. He immediately felt that anything was possible with Gu Man, so he said word by word, “Of course you can!”
Jiang Yi thought for a moment. “There will be a large-scale stone gambling auction in the near future. I’ll let you know the exact time.”
“Okay.”
Jiang Yan looked like Gu Man was very interested. She couldn’t help but tease, “Gu Man, you’re a high school student. It’s not good for you to play with these things, right?”
“Didn’t you come out to play with these too?” Gu Man glanced at Jiang Yi.
“I’m a boy, okay? As a man, I definitely have to come out more often to adventure and gain experience.”
When Gu Man heard this, she did not think much of it. “Isn’t it the same for boys and girls? Girls can adventure and gain experience as well.”
Jiang Yi had seen many of the delicate children in school. When he heard Gu Man’s words, he could not help but be shocked. He praised, “You’re right.”
Gu Man saw that the ghost market was gradually forming. Although there were few people, almost all the stalls had been set up, so she said to Jiang Yi, “Let’s go.”
Jiang Yi nodded.
