It was a vase of bright pink lilies, with fresh dewdrops on the petals. The strong lily fragrance almost filled the entire room.
"These flowers were planted by our family. There, they're in the garden over there. Does Ming Ming like flowers?" Seeing Lu Ming approaching the lilies, Su Li, who had been following behind her, hurriedly asked.
"It's alright," Lu Ming replied indifferently.
She didn't really like or dislike flowers. the reason why she was so close to the vase was because she smelled a familiar fishy smell in it!
The fishy smell was mixed with the strong lily fragrance, almost paralyzing her Wizard's nose.
Hehe.
They were overestimating themselves.
Lu Ming waved her hand indifferently and turned toward the garden that Su Li was pointing at.
The garden was the villa's own back garden, equipped with an automatic spraying system and a constant temperature and humidity system. It was obvious that a lot of money had been spent on it.
Lu Ming pushed open the window, and the fishy smell from the garden immediately rushed toward the lilies on the desk and Su Li.
"Achoo!" Su Li sneezed unconsciously and shook her body. She smiled at Lu Ming in embarrassment. "It's fine, it's fine. Mom will just go back and put on a cloak!"
Lu Ming closed the window and said to Su Li, "I'll make you a bowl of hot ginger tea. You'll feel much better after you drink it."
"No need, no need," Su Li said hurriedly. "You just came. I'll ask the auntie to cook it!"
Lu Ming stopped being polite. "You must drink the hot ginger tea. Make a bowl for Dad too. You two can drink it together. Forget it, I'll go out after you guys finish drinking," she added.
"Go out?" Su Li took a step forward. "Xiao Ming, where are you going? You're unfamiliar with the place and people. You've just returned home. Why don't you ask your brother to accompany you?"
"No, I can take a taxi."
Lu Ming did not want her parents to know what she was going to do. She had to give them some time to slowly accept that the daughter they had just found was a Wizard.
Later, she would be going out to buy owl feathers, crystals, yellow paper, deer horns, and other things. Lu Yuan and his wife did not seem to be so magnanimous as to ignore these items.
After watching Lu Yuan and his wife drink the hot ginger tea, Lu Ming left the house with a peace of mind.
"Xiao Ming is still a little unfamiliar with us." Su Li leaned against the door frame and looked in the direction Lu Ming left.
"It's okay, take it slowly! It's not normal for Sister to be so passionate about us the moment she comes home!"
It was rare for Lu Xiu to say something rational. Lu Yuan looked at his son approvingly.
"I'll take it slow. But the hot ginger tea that Xiao Ming mentioned is really good. I feel much lighter after drinking it!" Lu Yuan said.
Su Li felt the same way. It was as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.
...
This was the third antique store Lu Ming entered. The first two stores hung sheep's heads and sold dog's meat. They were all selling fake modern crafts, commonly known as plastic.
The third shop was not so bad. The owner was a member of the Association of Folk Wizard Research Hobbyists. He excitedly put out a large pile of Wizard items and even took out a cloak that was claimed to be a famous Wizard in the 18th century.
It was a pity that many of them were just magic props. However, Lu Ming still picked out many things that she needed.
Before she left, Lu Ming suddenly saw an unremarkable object in the corner.
"What's that?"
"Oh, this!" The boss's eyes darted around a few times as he quickly organized his words in his mind.
"This is also an antique from the last century. It's the alchemy furnace of a famous Eastern Wizard! Let me tell you, don't look down on this furnace. It's from the Mysterious East, and it has produced many S-Grade materials!"
"Hehe." Lu Ming laughed coldly. Her young age did not mean that she did not have the ability to distinguish people. After all, she had been an orphan for so many years. Lu Ming could tell that this was the boss's improvisation.
"What's the name of the famous Wizard?" Lu Ming asked indifferently.
"Um... This... This Wizard doesn't want to be famous. You know, he's a Wizard! With so many enemies, it's normal for them to be unwilling to leave their names."
The boss couldn't continue anymore. The main thing was that this broken stove was cleaned up by him last month. It might be a little old, but the condition was really so bad that it couldn't be seen. It might have been used by one of his ancestors for a sacrifice.
Other people might not know, but how could the boss not know? He flipped to the end of his family tree. None of his ancestors had ever been to the east, let alone the Wizards!
What was a Wizard? That was the top talent! How could a Wizard just casually step into his little shop?
The top-tier Wizard Lu Ming was speechless.
"What you said makes a lot of sense." On the other hand, Lu Ming agreed with the boss's words. She was a Wizard who did not want to reveal her identity!
"Tell me, how much is it?"
"How about this amount?" The boss's eyes lit up, and then he hesitantly stretched out his index finger and gestured.
10,000? Lu Ming touched the pendant on her chest, which was getting hotter and hotter, and frowned in dissatisfaction.
Although 10,000 yuan was a little expensive, since that person was so eager, she had to grit her teeth and buy it.
"Miss, you've bought so many things from me today. It's better to have more friends and more connections. Since you've bought my things, you're my friend. For the sake of being a friend, I'll give you a 20% discount. Just 800 yuan!"
Seeing Lu Ming frowning, the boss immediately used a strategy and readily gave a discount.
It turned out that an index finger was not 10,000 yuan, but 1000 yuan! She had learned it!
Lu Ming squinted her eyes happily. "800 is fine."
However, she immediately thought of what the boss had said about them being friends. Sigh, this was so troublesome...
