The Invincible Corruption Manual
Chapter 87 CHAPTER 86 : The Old Man In The Antique Store"Alright, you have to promise me to buy everything I like today." She said while fondling his shirt.
"I agree. Brother Tong, come out. We are going shopping." Joey shouted toward Wu Tong's room.
"Big brother, you two go alone this time. I have a sudden stomach ache. I will rest for today." Wu Tong spoke from inside his room. He managed to learn some stuff about couple-romance from his stay in Phoenix city from Yang Bojing. So, he made up a flat lie to give both of them some space.
A blush appeared on Chun Hua's cheeks.
"Alright, then I bring back your favorite chicken soup curry," Joey spoke to him.
"Thank you, big brother." Wu Tong replied from inside his room.
Then, the two came out of the house together holding their hands.
Even though the Sun Moon sect was just a sect. There were many towns nearby. They toured the whole day shopping from one shop to another in the nearby towns.
After they came out of a restaurant, they found an old antique shop at a gully.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Sister Chun, let's check out that antique shop," Joey suggested. Chun Hua nodded with a smile.
Then they entered the shop. An old man was cleaning those things inside. He was a hunchback old man and had a white beard and eyebrows.
"Welcome, young master and young miss!" The old man greeted them with a smile.
Then the two go around the room searching for something good. Then, Joey saw a golden arrow lying at the corner of the store.
"Oh, it is just a normal arrow. " He murmured and asked," Grandpa, do you have any special arrows?"
"So, young master, you are a marksman. Alright, come this way." The old man said. Then, he pulled down a flexible staircase and climbed upward. Joey and Chun Hua followed behind him. Then they reached a room. The old man chanted a spell and the door of the room opened up.
Inside the room, there were many weapons arranged neatly in order. Swords, sabers, spears, staffs, and many other weapons were kept inside the room separately. There was also a small column for bows and arrows.
"Please, check out, young master." The old man said and pointed toward a corner of the room.
Joey walked toward them and started touching the arrows one after another. He didn't feel anything from them. At last, he saw a rusted dull arrow at the bottom of them. When he touched it, he had the feeling to shoot the arrow.
"This will do. Grandpa, how much for this one?" Joey asked.
"1000 silver coins." The old man replied.
"No, that is too much for that rusty arrow. 100 silver coins!" Chun Hua shouted. She had been in this business since her childhood. So, she knew many tricks of the trade.
"Sister Chun, please stop. Grandpa, please take from this card." Joey then gave him a purple card.
The old man returned the card to Joey after the transaction.
"Young master, if you like, I have a pair of lockets for the couple. If you have put your blood on it, you two can find out each other's location." The old man took out a pair of lockets with a similar design. The only difference was that there was a picture of a dragon on one locket while a picture of a phoenix on the other one.
"Both of you put a drop of your essence blood on each of them. The phoenix drawn one was for the young miss while the other one was for you, young master. " The old man explained further.
Then Joey and Chun Hua dropped a drop of blood each on both the lockets. Then they put the lockets on their neck.
"Sister Chun, I can feel your presence from this locket," Joey said with a smile.
"Me too." Chun Hua smiled back at him.
"Thank you grandpa for this pair of lockets. How much for this one?" Joey asked.

"Grandpa, I am Joey and this is my wife Chun Hua. We are here participating in this term's Eastern Alliance Meet's tournament." Joey clasped his hand to the old man.
"Good luck to both of you. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. This old man is named Shao Feng. Oh, young miss, I am also a fortune teller. Do you want me to check your fortune? I will do it for free." The old man, Shao Feng said and looked at her. He looked at her lovingly.
When Chun Hua heard his name, something seemed to ring a bell in her mind. But, she can't figure it out. Also, she felt a sincere love from the old man.
"It's for free. Why not? Grandpa, please." Then Joey pulled her right hand at the old man's hand.
Then the old looked carefully on her palm. After a few minutes, he said, "Young miss, this young man is your destined partner. You too may separate for some time. But, you will follow him all his life. Also, why don't you practice swordsmanship? You have the hand of a swordmaster. Also, don't rely too much on your pets. Otherwise, your cultivation base will be left behind a mile apart from this young man. "
"Grandpa, actually I have liked to play with swords since my childhood. But, whenever my mother saw me playing with a sword, she left me alone with servants inside the house for a month. So, after that, I never touched a sword until now. " She explained.
" Young Master, what do you think?" The man asked.
"Sister Chun, if you have a passion for swordsmanship. You can start now too. It's your choice." Joey said to her.
After she remained silent for about ten minutes, Chun Hua clenched her hand tightly and finally announced her decision.
"Umm, I will start practicing from today onward."
