Lastly, came the truly useless things one would only buy for fun, such as the talisman that claims to turn water into the finest wine and a talisman that can make a stringed instrument play itself.
"... What is this?" Rong Jian whispered in exasperation. He probably saw all of these as a waste of Talisman paper and cinnabar ink, the former was highly expensive after all.
"I think they're interestng. Though it's understandable why their business isn't doing too well." Shen Tianyu noticed most customers merely examined the objects on the table or joked about them before leaving. They certainly weren't very useful but it was a pity. As far as she knew, most of these talismans don't exist, after all, in the market or in someone's hands.
"Yeah, they look fun, though I'm not sure I'd spend so much on them." Bai Yaoxuan agreed, picking up a talisman from a basket labeling it's price of 500 yuan. Yuan was more valuable than gold so it's considered more than expensive for a plaything.
Shen Tianyu waved the female student who had secretly let out a sigh of disappointment after another custimer left without purchasing anything. She immediately put on a smile again and walked towards her. "Yes, are there any questions you have?"
"May I ask who made these?" Shen Tianyu asked with a reflection of the girl's smile.
"Um, this... it's understandable if you are not satisfied with our products but-" The girl became flustered, afraid of negative ulterior motives, trying to soothe the situation. Shen Tianyu, however, reached out her hand to encase one of the other's flailing hands.
"I don't mean anything bad by that question. I merely wish to know who made these interestiing pieces. Though most of them are not quite usable in battle, I don't believe I've heard of them before. If my guess is not wrong, these are newly invented talismans, yes?" Shen Tianyu asked in a calm voice infused with some warmth, hoping to calm her down and show she had no bad intentions.
"T-This..." The female student calmed down a bit but not enough to overcome her nervous stutter. Her eyes flicked to the male student manning the projector on the side, as if asking for help. However, his eyes were closed and the three of them assumed probably couldn't see her signal. "Um... I'll need permission from the inventor to disclose his identity. I'm sorry."
"That's understandable." Shen Tianyu nodded as she let the girl go. "Should we wait while you go ask or is there a way to contact you?" She tilted her head a bit as she asked her question.
"Well... Um... My name is Song Yanqi. You can ask around for me once classes start. I should have the inventor's answer by then." The female student and salesgirl answered back.
"Song Yanqi... alright. I'll ask around once classes start." Shen Tianyu nodded at the girl and was about to leave the stall when she heard a commotion on the other end of the booth.
Song Yanqi's panic showed on her face again but she quickly suppressed it and went towards the voice.
"This voice..." Shen Tianyu had black lines dripping down her head. 'I've been meeting this person too often today, is she cursed? And why is she bullying people wherever she goes? She's only a General's daughter.'
"Yup, sounds like her." Bai Yaoxuan affirmed with an annoyed twitch of her brows.
"Who?" Rong Jian was still confused as they followed after Song Yanqi.
What met their eyes was the same gaudy woman they had met and gotten into a small... conflict with, in front of Practice Building One where the Sword Department's exhibition was held. Ningwu Liushan and Bai Longtian were also there, the former trying to reason with her while the latter was trying and failing to restrain his glare at the woman. The projector was now turned off as the boy that had been feeding it spiritual energy had stood up, a frown on his face and chained anger in his eyes. The peopls around them had cleared a circle around them to watch the show. While there are some that seemed angry at the woman acting like a bully, they were afraid to provoke the power behind her so they could only hold it in. Song Yanqi was patting the back of the boy behind the projector as she whispered to him.
"Oh, her." Rong Jian clicked his tongue upon recognizing her. He had already remembered her face as one of the people he will be... tormenting to avenge his wifey.
"Senior Brother Liushan, what happened?" Shen Tianyu walked straight to Ningwu Liushan's side, ignoring everyone else. Bai Yaoxuan followed and discreetly stood behind the Young Master while Rong Jian situated himself on Shen Tianyu's other side.
"Er... well... this Miss Yang seems to find the products sold at this stall... unpleasant." Ningwu Liushan scratched his neck as he tried to think of a proper way to recount the event.
"I think we all heard that, but why is everyone in a circle?"
"This bitch wanted to wreck our stall!" The young man behind the projector that had stayed silent until now, spat out.
"Ah, I see." Shen Tianyu sighed and held her head as if she had a headache.
"What are you doing here?" Miss Yang hissed.
"Watch your tone, your beloved Zhu Wangye is also here, you don't want to make a worse impression on him than you already have, do you?" Shen Tianyu warned, turning around with her arms crossed.
This seemed to hammer some sense into her as Miss Yang physically started and held back her tongue.
"Why am I seeing you everywhere today? No matter how much you like Ah-Jian, you shouldn't be stalking him, that's unbefitting of any respectable woman."
"That should be my question! Why are you hanging over Zhu Wangye all the time?" Miss Yang managed to stop herself from shouting.
"Am I hanging on to him right now?" Shen Tianyu spread out her hands. "Anyways, there are so many stalls here on the Main Road, why are you bullying a stall owner? Don't tell me you've been bullying every stall until here? And Miss Sogn and her companion here are already students of Chengyuan School, unlike anewcomer like you. At the very least, they have more tract in the academy than you do. You really don't know your boundaries."
