Chapter 10 - Hairpin

Soon the group reached to an inn. Gege was the first one to come out and she stretched her body. She could heard loud cracks from every joint and felt relaxed.

Sheng was a little disgusted by the immaturity she just showed. A teacher is always supposed to look elegant but he didn't know why she was not acting like how she acts before.

But for Yantu, his teacher was very unique. He always find it amusing that she never cares about anything and anyone. She was not like other masters. She wanted to sleep she will sleep, she wanted to eat something, she would eat without feeling remorse.

"Senior, you can go inside. I will take a little walk around."

She told him and walked towards the other direction to explore the bazaar. She did not wait for the person to say anything and was enjoying the sight when someone start walking one step behind her.

She turned her head and found Yantu walking behind her without making any sound.

"Are not you going to take some rest? You must be tired by traveling on a horse."

Yantu could only smile but did not say anything. Gege also did not say anything and moved forward while her little disciple followed her.

They explore different shops and ate some snacks. Soon they were standing in front of an exhibition. 

A man was selling different things while people were bidding on these things.

"If you want to buy something than you can buy. I will pay for it." 

She told him as she wanted to give him something special hoping that thing might protect her later.

Gege looked around as she said those words to him. She could not see the surprise in his eyes. But before she could look at him, she saw a young beautiful girl walking towards the exhibition. She was as beautiful as flowers and Gege never saw any person with such beauty before. Her eyes were shining with intelligence and instantly Gege knew who she was.

Meo meo, the female lead. Even though Yantu had a vast harem as every female was ready to give their life for him but still Meo meo had a special place. She was most beautiful among them. Not only beautiful but also intelligent and a great cultivator. This was also the reason that the old Gege was jealous of her.

Meow meow, was the female lead and gave a very humiliating defeat in one of the matches in future.

"Look at her, isn't she beautiful." She could not stop herself from complimenting the female lead. Yantu really deserve someone like her but Gege was going to make him stay loyal to only one person and that person was standing in front of them.

Yantu glanced at her and then looked away. He did not find her any interesting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Now I am going to present you the most precious item in this exhibition. The great symbol of love and trust. This is lucky jade hairpin."

Gege glanced at the beautiful hairpin. This hairpin had magical healing powers but it's beauty was more captivating. If it was not something important to both protagonist and female lead she was going to buy it.

"Fifty coins."

Meo meo raised her voice while Yantu was staring at the hairpin in silence.

"Let's go." Gege told him and she was about to turn but Yantu's voice stopped her.

"Teacher, I want it."

She paused and looked at the boy that looked eager to buy that hairpin. The price already reached to one hundred and fifty coins. The hairpin was not worth that much money but she also did not want to say no to him.

She sighed and stayed there while a smile appeared on the face of Yantu.

"Two hundred coins."

He raised the bid and the female lead looked at him. She did not like him as he was increasing the amount while she wanted to buy the hairpin.

"No matter who is going to buy it, it's only going to stay in female lead's hair." Gege thought and could only appear sad because the money belonged to her.

Soon the bid reached to three hundred coins and now the female lead looked angry and embarrassed. She could not raise the bid so Yantu won the hairpin. But before leaving, she did not forget to throw an angry glare at him.

"Aishhh, you made her angry." Gege clicked her tongue and could only think about it.

She was about to bring out the money but Yantu left as he already had enough savings to buy that hairpin. He used to get monthly allowance from the sect and also Gege used to give him some extra allowance every week. He never spend it and kept it saved in his magical bag.

Gege was impressed as she could see why he was the protagonist. She could only think why that little boy was so perfect.

Yantu happily came near her while holding a paper in which the hairpin was present. 

"Are you happy after buying it?" 

Yantu smiled and nodded happily while Gege gently patted her head. He was now as taller as her but still he bowed his head so she could easily pat his head.

He always liked to be patted on head by her. 

This time Gege did not pull back her hand but ran her fingers through his hair.

"I can not believe my disciple has grown so much. You look as taller as me and much more handsome. I can bet that this boy will grow in a perfect lady killer.

Girls will throw themselves to you.

But remember, you should stay loyal to only one person. That person whom you loved the most.

Isn't it good to stay loyal to one person instead of making a harem of three thousand beauties."

She told him while Yantu could not understand what she was saying. But she was right. He did not need three thousand beauties. He was going to stay loyal to only one person. 

Gege turned and walked towards the inn while Yantu silently followed her as he gently held the hairpin in his hand.
