Carefree Path of Dreams

Chapter 399: Stalking

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

"Let us celebrate for our national athlete, Liu Fei has clinched the gold medal once again and broke the world record at the same time..."

"Yesterday, the mayor visited our school and gave a speech to encourage all the students and teachers of the university..."

"Next up, let us enjoy the song ..."

...

The sweet voice of a lady blasted through the loudspeaker in the school campus.

Fang Yuan laid on the field and squinted his eyes.

"Hey... I’ve heard that you have applied to graduate!"

Turning his head around, he realised that Lin Xing was next to him with a look of unpleasantness.

"Yeah..."

After a period of interaction, Fang Yuan knew that Lin Xing was not a snobbish person but was merely less sociable.

"It’s a pity..."

Lin Xing laid on the field as well and was in a daze.

"Don’t think about it too much. Although you have never beaten me in school, you might just do so when we work outside..."

Fang Yuan chuckled.

To think about it, the students who were studying in Xijing University were unfortunate.

If you think that you were a smart person, the university was filled with gifted people! There were even smarter ones above the smartest! To those who were less confident, this would be a heavy blow.

"Go f*ck yourself..."

Lin Xin rolled his eyes and left.

"Fang Yuan... why are you still here!"

Sun Jian rushed his way towards the field. "Quickly return to your shop. Someone is willing to buy your treasure!"

"Oh!"

Fang Yuan lazily stood up and stretched himself.

"How can you be so composed?"

Sun Jian was stunned. "This is a business of 300,000 dollars!"

"What else can I do?"

Fang Yuan replied in a calm voice. "You ran all the way here? You’re too nervous. You should calm your nerves whenever something big happens."

"I... I tried to calm down, but it’s 300,000! Just by thinking about it alone would give me the shudders..."

Sun Jian’s voice shook as he spoke.

"Alright, I’ll go now!"

Fang Yuan shook his head and arrived at Sambhogakaya Monastery with Sun Jian.

His originally empty Heart Questioning House was now surrounded by a group of people, clogging up the entrance to the shop. Most of them were crowding around to see what was inside.

"Come, move aside, the boss is here!"

Sun Jian cleared a path for Fang Yuan. Some of them recognised him as the boss and automatically gave way.

"Boss, you’re back!"

Ding Qiuyu ran towards Fang Yuan. "A foreigner came in and was attracted to the Aquilaria Maitreya. He insisted on buying it!"

"I know, it’s been hard on you!"

Fang Yuan entered the shop and noticed a blond-haired foreigner peering through a magnifying glass. He wore white gloves on his hands as he was examining the Aquilaria Maitreya with a serious look.

Behind him, there were two bodyguards in black western attire. There was another female translator as well.

Coincidently, Chen Bo was also there. He now had the responsibility to ensure the security of the place as he glared at the bodyguards.

He had to be careful! If the wooden figure was broken or stolen, his girlfriend would not be able to pay for it. Therefore, he had to get himself involved.

In the Heart Questioning House, Fang Yuan prepared a wooden chair and sat on it. With that, Ding Qiuyu served him his tea.

The old foreigner noticed Fang Yuan and mumbled something to the translator.

"Mr Thomas asks, are you the owner of this shop? He wants to talk to the real owner of this wooden figurine."

The female translator translated it word for word, but her sentence structure was too rigid and she did not feel local.

’Overseas Chinese? Or another yellow-skinned race?’

Fang Yuan squinted his eyes and the surroundings became translucent and illusionary.

Everyone looked normal except for Chen Bo who had a mild glow in him, signifying that he had the cultivation at the Strength Opening Realm.

The body of the female translator was normal. However, she had black streaks around her body and her lively face started to appear pale and green. A black fog gathered around her forehead.

’From the angle of a cultivator, this lady is either living with an evil being or that she herself has cultivated in evil spells...’

The female translator lowered her head and mumbled a foreign language to her boss. With that, she smiled. "You are lucky. Mr Thomas said that he is willing to buy your Aquilaria Maitreya for 200,000 Chinese Dollars."

"Oh!"

Fang Yuan dug his ear with his fingers and gave a look of suspicion. "Why did I hear that his highest offer was around 50,000 Dollars from the forex?"

Forex meant that through the foreign exchange rate, Mr Thomas was willing to pay a price equivalent to 500,000 Chinese Dollars in his foreign currency.

Of course, the price of this Aquilaria Maitreya could potentially skyrocket in the black market.

"Cough..."

The female translator choked. "Do you know our language?"

"Mmm... I’ve learnt it through a few lectures!"

Fang Yuan gave a wide grin and revealed his white teeth, replying with a fluent Federation language.

Of course, the female translator wanted to kill him so badly at that moment.

"Gentleman, you surprise me! Could you have stayed at boarding school overseas before?"

Mr Thomas was shocked to be able to hear such fluent Federation language in Chinese Country and even suspected that Fang Yuan had grown up in his hometown.

"Nope, I have only learnt it from a lecturer who was from the Golden Eagle Federation..."

Fang Yuan waved his hands. "Mr Thomas, it is unfortunate that you have revealed to me your best offer. Therefore, my price will change to 50,000 from the forex. After all, your assistant had lowered your quote by 50%!"

Hearing this, the face of the female translator turned black and her fierce glare seemed as though it was able to set Fang Yuan in flames.

"Hehe... Ms Night is only joking with you! However, I will agree to the price of 50,000 from the forex!"

Thomas smiled and glared at his translator. With that, he ordered his bodyguards to bring a case forward. From the case, he took out wads of cash. He knew that he had to get his hands on the Aquilaria Maitreya. Glancing at the incense burner at the side, he spoke once more. "Chinese Country is an amazing country. Look at this incense... I have smelled a similar fragrance from a soul master in my country. This fragrance is able to calm one’s mind."

"Is that so?"

Thinking about it, Fang Yuan’s heart wavered. After talking to Thomas, he gifted him a bottle of Opening Point Incense.

"Haha... I will have to take my leave now!"

Looking at the increasingly crowded shop, Thomas stood up and gave an unusual smile. "Fang, you are a gifted child. May our paths cross again!"

"See you again!"

Fang Yuan sat in his chair while Thomas took his leave, walking with a cane. As he walked out, he was surrounded by other passionate stall owners who were looking to clear their stock.

It was impossible for Fang Yuan not to extort such a rich person!

As Ms Night took her leave, she glared fiercely at Fang Yuan.

"Let’s close the shop!"

Looking at the passionate and greedy stall owners gathering around Thomas, Fang Yuan shook his head. "Chen Bo, stay behind with Sun Jian."

"Hehe..."

After closing the shop, Sun Jian stared at the stack of cash on the table before looking at Fang Yuan with a look of suspicion. "Junior, when did you pick up their language?"

"I learnt it after hearing it a few times. It’s normal!"

Fang Yuan gave a look as though he was a genius kid and could do anything he wanted, which made Chen Bo depressed.

They were already the top students of the society to be able to enrol into Xijing University. However, they would still need at least a month or two to master a new language from scratch.

This kid in front of them managed the same feat after a few lessons and was even more fluent than the translator.

Although everyone knew that there were gifted people in the society who would make the others question their own existence, one would only feel fear when standing in front of an actual gifted child.

"Alright, let’s split the profits. This should be considered doing justice for our country!"

Fang Yuan smiled and split the stack of cash into four piles, handing over a pile each to Ding Qiuyu, Chen Bo and Sun Jian. "Thank you for your help today. This is a small reward!"

"This..."

Each stack was at least a thousand dollars and Sun Jian could not believe his eyes.

"Little Boss... How can I take your money?"

Ding Qiuyu quickly replied.

"This is your performance bonus! Since this is your bonus, just take it!"

Fang Yuan forced the wad of cash into her hands. "The two of you as well, please don’t be afraid to accept this money! I am a rich man now!"

"Yes... compared to you, we are still poor!"

Sun Jian was filled with regret.

If he knew that there was so much potential in selling antiques, he would have chosen to specialise in archaeology.

...

It was nightfall.

Like a nimble cat, Fang Yuan flipped over the walls and left the school compound, smiling cheekily to himself.

Fang Yuan had done something to the figure of Aquilaria Maitreya, making it traceable.

Otherwise, why would Fang Yuan stupidly place such a valuable treasure in the shop with a single shopkeeper to look after it?

"Are there still stalkers? Is my behaviour out of the norm?"

He flipped over another wall, crossed an alley and lifted a piece of roof tile. With that, he noticed a middle-aged person leaning on the window outside, observing Fang Yuan’s door diligently.

However, he appeared tired and bored as he yawned continuously.

’After all, I am only a student and not an evil murder. I also did not reveal any special ability and it would, therefore, be a waste of resources if they were to send a soldier from the special forces to stalk me. Where did this person come from?’

Thinking about it, Fang Yuan flicked his finger and a puff of powder was scattered into the house.

The well-built man started to shut his heavy eyelids. Not long after, he started to lean against the wall and snored loudly.

All it took was just a little sleeping powder.

After settling the stalker, Fang Yuan arrived at his own shop. Twitching his nose, he could detect a clear fragrance.

"Little pals, it’s up to you guys now!"

Fang Yuan opened a bamboo container, releasing a few bees.

These bees were larger-sized than normal bees and were a little confused at first. After a while, they became focused and flew in a pattern in mid-air. With that, they headed towards a certain direction.

"It’s working!"

With an excited look, Fang Yuan quickly followed the bees.
