After using their lightness skills, Lu Jing and Xia Huai quickly shook off the crowd of onlookers who wanted to follow and continue watching the excitement.

Afterward, the two of them headed north of the city.

The Gold Armor Seeking Bug finally stopped in front of a blacksmith's shop, then spread its wings and flew in through the crack in the door.

Lu Jing didn't knock, he just kicked the wooden door, and the latter immediately let out a mournful creak, and then fell apart.

When the smoke and sawdust cleared slightly, Lu Jing took the lead and walked into the blacksmith's shop.

A boy who looked like an apprentice heard the noise and ran out from the inner room, looking frightened, "You... what are you people, what do you want to do?"

Lu Jing ignored him and just waved his hand.

The boy then felt his body fly up, and he was about to crash into the iron furnace, but the next moment he somersaulted halfway in the air, and landed safely on the ground.

Lu Jing and Xia Huai had already bypassed the bellows in front of them and continued to walk inside.

As a result, as soon as they lifted the curtain, a fat old rat almost the size of a rabbit jumped down from the beam and pounced on Lu Jing's head.

Unfortunately, this action was too slow for a martial arts master.

Before it could completely land, Lu Jing kicked it away like he was playing Cuju, then said to the little girl who was climbing out of the window, "Don't go!"

Hearing Lu Jing's words, the little girl not only didn't stop, but her movements became even faster, and she stretched out her other leg.

Lu Jing hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't bring himself to directly release his flying sword, but instead said, "Hey, I'm talking to you, you can't escape."

The little girl turned a deaf ear and jumped out of the windowsill.

Lu Jing kicked away a few more rats that wanted to delay him, and then rushed to the big hole in the center of the room first. The Gold Armor Bug was buzzing at the entrance of the hole.

Lu Jing poked his head in and saw the stolen iron box in the hole.

So he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xia Huai, "You stay here and see how to open this box, I'll go after the person and ask what's going on."

However, before he could finish speaking, he heard a somewhat shrill voice from behind him, "Stop! I won't let you hurt my sister!"

Lu Jing turned his head and saw that the boy he had pushed away earlier had rushed over at this time, and he was also holding a wooden ladle in his hand, which contained the water he had just scooped.

Lu Jing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "So you set the strange fire at the Taiping Qianzhuang."

However, Xia Huai, who was already prepared, just waved her hand, and the scattered water droplets reassembled into a water ball.

But in the next moment, the water ball turned into a raging flame with a bang.

"Your ability is not bad," Lu Jing praised.

"If you know you're afraid, then leave quickly, my family has plenty of water, you can't beat me!" Although the boy was very scared, he tried not to let his body tremble, while threatening.

Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, the fireball was extinguished by Lu Jing with the lamp oil next to him.

Then he was picked up by Lu Jing, "Setting fires randomly is not a good habit."

The boy wanted to resist, but Lu Jing knocked him unconscious without ceremony and threw him to Xia Huai.

"I'll go get his sister back too."

"Okay, be careful."

"There's nothing to be careful about, just a little brat."

Lu Jing said, he really didn't take the little girl to heart. The other party was only about eight or nine years old, and her ability was also exposed, which was to control rats.

For Lu Jing, who had already trained the Fire Scale Armor to the fifth level, it was not as threatening as the boy's ability to generate fire from water.

So Lu Jing didn't delay and immediately chased after her.

However, after he left the blacksmith's shop and looked around, he didn't see the girl's figure.

With the latter's legs and feet, she shouldn't have run too far in such a short time, unless... Lu Jing lowered his head, and sure enough, he saw dense rat footprints on the ground.

Was she carried away by the rat swarm?

Lu Jing followed the footprints left by the rats all the way.

Finally, he came to a spice shop not far away, where Lu Jing saw the little girl's figure.

She was standing with a man, and seemed a little scared when she saw Lu Jing, taking half a step back, but the man patted her head, which made her look a little more relaxed.

Lu Jing frowned and stopped.

The man looked very ordinary. Although he wasn't ugly, he wasn't handsome either. He wasn't tall or short, not fat or thin. His clothes were even more casual. The long shirt he was wearing was already a little faded from washing, but it still looked very clean.

In short, he looked no different from the ordinary people who could be seen everywhere in any city, on any street.

But for some reason, the moment Lu Jing saw him, a warning sign rose in his heart.

This warning sign was extremely strong, so strong that the hairs on Lu Jing's body stood on end!

"Who are you, sir? What is your relationship with her?"

The man didn't answer Lu Jing's question immediately, but bent down and said to the little girl beside him, "Have you chosen? Which kind of spice do you like? I'll give it to you."

The little girl first glanced at Lu Jing nervously, then pointed to a small bottle on the table.

The man looked in the direction she was pointing, "Four Seasons Pure Flavor Incense, you have good taste. It contains borneol, nard, sandalwood, clove, lingling, fennel... It can ward off evil spirits and resolve秽. It was quite popular in the capital during the previous dynasty."

As he spoke, he reached into his clothes, but after groping for a long time, an awkward look appeared on his face.

"Crap, I was in too much of a hurry to bring any silver when I went out."

"Then... then I don't want it for now," the little girl said understandingly, "I'm too young, I don't really need spice anyway."

"That won't do, it's important to give you a meeting gift the first time we meet," the man shook his head.

He looked around and finally his eyes fell on Lu Jing, rubbing his hands, "This... can you lend me an ounce or two of silver first? Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back."

Lu Jing didn't say anything when he heard this, took out an ounce or two of silver from his purse, and threw it to the other side.

"Thank you," the man said politely, took the silver, put it on the counter, and then picked up the bottle of Four Seasons Pure Flavor Incense and put it in the little girl's hand.

Only then did he turn around and face Lu Jing again, "You are Lu Jing, right? Hmm, although you are wearing a human skin mask."

"That's right," Lu Jing didn't hide it, "Who are you, sir..."

"My name is Ji Jian, but few people call me that directly. Everyone seems to be more used to calling me Mr. Ji," the man said with a smile.
