Chapter 132: How Much Does This Crystal Cost?
Flander proved that he could be relied on when it truly mattered.
Back then, if he had not stopped Yu Xiaogang, Yu Xiaogang, in his despair, might have actually taken his own life. If that had happened, who knew what kind of blow it would have dealt Grandpa? It would also have seriously affected the harmony within the clan.
After all, Yu Xiaogang's suicide attempt happened after Yu Luomian appeared and disrupted his wedding. If Flander had not intervened, Yu Xiaogang would have died, and that would have been a disaster, one that could directly ignite conflict between the Clan Leader and the Head Elder.
From Yu Luomian's perspective, his actions were naturally "right." Even setting aside the issue of cousins marrying, with Yu Xiaogang's low Spirit Power level, he could not possibly entrust his daughter to Yu Xiaogang.
But from Yu Yuanzhen's perspective, it was a completely different story. No matter the reason, his son's death would, in a sense, be the result of being driven to it by Yu Luomian. At the very least, Yu Luomian was the catalyst, and he could not escape responsibility. How could Yu Yuanzhen simply let that go?
If things really developed in that direction, who knew what would happen next? Forget revitalizing the clan, the internal situation would have fallen into complete chaos.
So in a way, Flander had helped the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan avoid a major problem, even if he himself never realized it.
After they talked things out, the atmosphere eased. Flander even said, "Since you're here waiting for Xiao Gang, and he's coming to see me anyway, why not stay at Shrek Academy? It'll be convenient when he arrives."
"Then I'll trouble you, Senior." Yu Tianlin thought for a moment and nodded. He did not know anyone in Soto City, and he had nothing to do there. Staying at Shrek Academy was a good option.
"Shrek Academy is outside the south gate of Soto City. Go there yourself. When you arrive, just say I sent you. The teachers will arrange a place for you."
After everything was settled, Flander leaned back into his recliner again and rocked lazily.
"Goodbye, Senior." Yu Tianlin turned to leave, but at that moment, something caught his eye.
A crystal hung near the entrance. It was filled with large patches of dark yellow impurities.
When Yu Tianlin entered earlier, his attention had been pulled to the fake storage Spirit Tools on the opposite wall. After that, he had been talking with Flander for a long time. He only noticed this crystal now, as he turned around to leave.
The instant he saw it, Yu Tianlin's heart skipped.
Judging by appearance alone, this crystal was awful. It was dull, with poor transparency, the kind of thing no one would pick up even if it was thrown on the ground.
But in the eyes of someone who truly understood, this was a top grade crystal plate. The so called impurities inside were actually Dragon Beard Needles.
I didn't expect this thing to still be here.
That meant Tang San had not visited Flander's shop yet.
It made sense. When Yu Tianlin spoke to Flander earlier, Flander clearly did not know that Yu Xiaogang had taken a disciple and planned to apply to Shrek Academy. If Tang San had already come here, Flander would definitely have noticed the Twenty Four Bridges Under the Moon on him and deduced his identity.
Interesting.
This top grade crystal plate was right in front of him.
Should he buy it, or should he buy it?
Of course he should buy it.
Yu Tianlin did not know how to use Dragon Beard Needles, but it would be quite entertaining to wave this crystal plate around in front of Tang San every day.
With that mischievous thought, he turned back and asked, "Senior, how much does this crystal cost?"
Flander narrowed his eyes. "Aren't you from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? What good things haven't you seen? Why are you interested in this worthless crystal?"
Yu Tianlin considered for a moment, then said with a half joking tone, "It's precisely because I've seen so many good things that I suddenly became interested in something this low quality."
Flander was speechless.
He was experienced enough to understand that rich people sometimes had strange tastes, so he waved a hand impatiently.
"It's not worth anything. Take it for free. Go, go."
"Thank you, Senior."
Yu Tianlin was not short on money, but free was always better. After thanking him, he picked up the crystal and left the shop.
Not long after Yu Tianlin left, Flander opened his eyes again and muttered, "Yu Tianlin… this kid from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is surprisingly polite. Not as arrogant as I expected."
"And Xiao Gang. After hiding for so many years, you finally stopped hiding. Now that you've shown yourself, I won't let you run away again."
"Whether I should persuade him to return to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan depends on the situation."
Outside, Yu Tianlin held the crystal plate up under the sunlight and examined it. Inside, he could clearly see dense golden lines clustered together, forming a thin golden plate.
"So this is the Dragon Beard Needle. Glittering, and actually pretty." Yu Tianlin sighed softly, then stopped thinking about it.
He didn't know how to use it anyway. He bought it purely for fun, and to tease Tang San later.
Thinking of Tang San, Yu Tianlin began calculating the timing.
According to the information he had received, his second uncle, Yu Xiaogang, had already set off from Heaven Dou City and was heading here. He would definitely arrive within 10 days.
Shrek Academy was also on the route. He had just been there and learned they were about to begin a new year's enrollment.
So Tang San and Xiao Wu should already be in Suotuo City. But if that was the case, why had they not come to Flander's shop and bought the crystal?
"If Tang San has arrived in Suotuo City, he should be staying at that hotel." Yu Tianlin recalled. "What was it called again? The Rose Hotel, I think."
"Let's go take a look."
Yu Tianlin was quite interested in Tang San. More importantly, he could also see Xiao Wu, the 100,000 year Soft Bone Rabbit in human form. He was curious whether a 100,000 year Spirit Beast looked any different from a real human after transforming, and just how convincing that "human form" truly was.
After making his decision, Yu Tianlin began searching for the Rose Hotel.
During this time, he did not put the crystal into his dragon patterned ring. He simply held it in his hand.
The Rose Hotel seemed to be well known in Suotuo City. Yu Tianlin casually asked a passerby for directions and quickly found its location.
