Chapter 251 I’ll give it to you
There was a war of words and a confrontation.
After more than ten minutes of heated discussion, the book was finally sold for HK$15,000.
Although the old man did not know the specific origin of the book, he could vaguely feel that the book was extraordinary. If he was asked to sell it at a low price, he would rather keep it for himself and wait for the next customer to come.
After Xia Yu realized that he could only bargain down to this price, he stopped talking and paid directly.
After all, it is an antique shop, not a street stall. If it were a street stall, he would have bargained down to 20 yuan.
Although fifteen thousand is a lot, it is worth it to buy a magician's relic. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a bargain.
After buying things, because Touya and the others had not woken up yet, they decided to take a rest here. The old man naturally did not refuse, and happily said that they could rest as long as they wanted. There was no sign of the heated argument he had with Xia Yu at the beginning.
Antique shop.
Xiaoying squatted on the ground with her hands on her knees, watching Xia Yu flipping through the magic book he bought, and couldn't help but sighed: "I didn't expect Xia Yu to be so eloquent."
After she finished speaking, she patted her head as if she suddenly realized something and said, "No, it seems that Xia's eloquence has always been quite good."
Hearing this, Xia Yu reached out and poked Li Xiaolang, who was standing beside him with his arms crossed and eyes closed, and chuckled, "After all, bargaining is a Chinese skill, right?"
Li Xiaolang: “…”
Li Xiaolang didn't want to reply. He felt that if he paid attention to Xia Yu at this time, the other party might take advantage of the situation and continue to talk nonsense. Besides, he didn't know how to bargain.
Seeing that Li Xiaolang was pretending to be aloof and silent, Xia Yu didn't care. He threw the divination magic book in his hand into Li Xiaolang's arms, stretched and said.
"I'll give you this book. Well, your Li family is also a magical family, so it just happens to be of use to you."
"Ok?"
Li Xiaolang, who originally didn't want to pay attention to Xia Yu, was defeated in a second. He looked at the magic book thrown into his arms in surprise and asked in confusion: "Give it to me? Why?"
"No reason, just send it if you want."
Xia Yu replied nonchalantly that a magic book would only be of greatest value in the hands of someone with magical powers. Zhishi didn't need it, and so he didn't need it either.
As for Sakura, she already has the Sakura Grimoire left to her by Clow Reed, so she might as well give it to Syaoran and the others.
"No, I can't accept that."
Hearing this explanation which was very consistent with Xia Yu's style, Li Xiaolang's expression straightened up. He shook his head hurriedly and stuffed the magic book in his arms back to Xia Yu.
It was Xia Yu who defeated the female magician, and it was also Xia Yu who bought this book. How could he easily accept such a valuable thing?
Xia Yu was not surprised to see Li Xiaolang refuse. After all, this honest boy was so decent and did not have the idea of "If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you'd be a bastard" at all.
After thinking for a while, Xia Yu smiled and forced the book back into Li Xiaolang's arms, then put his arm around his shoulder and said, "You can't be so rigid. Think about it carefully. Didn't I visit your house yesterday? And a visit cannot be empty-handed. This is a gift for the visit, how about it?"
"No, I still can't have it."
Li Xiaolang refused righteously, "Yesterday's visit can't be considered a visit, and the gift was too expensive for a visit."
As he was talking, Li Xiaolang wanted to stuff the book back to Xia Yu, but Xia Yu had already blocked his hand.
"Don't refuse yet. I don't need this book anyway. Besides, haven't I read so many books at your house? This should be a return gift."
"But..." Seeing that Li Xiaolang was still hesitating, Xia Yu said with a sigh, "Stop, if you keep making excuses, I will return this book now. This is a book of divination magic. Do you think it will be more valuable if you give it to your family for research? Or is it more valuable if it continues to gather dust here?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaolang fell silent for a moment.
His mother possessed powerful magical powers and was also very good at divination. The previous owner of this book was a female magician who was good at water divination.
Therefore, this magic book containing divination spells must have been helpful to his mother.
Feeling the urgency in Xia Yu's tone, Li Xiaolang sighed softly and no longer insisted. Instead, he stood up solemnly and bowed deeply to Xia Yu.
"Thank you for the gift, I am grateful."
"Tsk, you've even put it away for me, keep it well."
Seeing Li Xiaolang's serious look, Xia Yu waved his hand and said, "By the way, don't even think about returning the gift. If you dare to return the gift to me, I will get mad."
"Well……"
Li Xiaolang, who was thinking about how to respond, was stunned when he heard this. He hadn't even spoken yet, so why was he blocked?
I gave him such an expensive gift, but I didn't let him give a gift in return...
Li Xiaolang, feeling somewhat depressed, stopped thinking while holding the book. Forget it, don't think about it anymore. Let his mother make the decision when he gets home.
The gift must be returned. Even if Xia Yu gets angry, he must return the gift. He cannot accept such a valuable gift with peace of mind.
After a while, Touya and the others who were in coma finally woke up.
Before they could open their mouths to ask questions, Xia Yu had already shut them up with a very ridiculous excuse of heatstroke, and then Touya and the others believed this ridiculous excuse.
Although they all saw with their own eyes a large amount of water gushing out of the book and drowning all of them, when they woke up, not only was there no trace of water around, but even the antique shop was intact, so they believed it.
Touya, who had his own ideas, believed it. Seeing that Touya had no doubts, Yukito, who had a unique way of thinking, also believed that they had heatstroke.
Li Meiling also did not refute anything. She knew that this matter must be related to magic again. But seeing that Li Xiaolang did not say anything, she did not say anything out of ignorance. She also nodded and agreed with the explanation of heatstroke.
After the group had rested and there was nothing else to be done, they left the antique shop on their own.
Although we experienced some bizarre events today, no one was affected by it and everyone continued to have fun happily.
After that, Sakura didn't encounter any strange things. She was happily exploring Hong Kong. Tomoyo followed her and acted as Sakura's photographer, recording all of Sakura's travels.
Touya and Li Syaoran were still at odds and would occasionally glare at each other. Xuetu had eaten all over the streets and alleys of Hong Kong, and Xia Yu would start talking nonsense whenever he arrived at a tourist attraction, which made Li Meiling very angry and she couldn't help but argue with him angrily.
In this kind of atmosphere, Sakura and her group's five-day and four-night trip to Hong Kong finally came to an end.
After watching the movie and sorting out Sakura's timeline, I found that episodes 35-36 skipped the third semester and went straight to the fifth grade in the first semester.
In episode 36, Tomoyo said it was strange that it was snowing in April. However, in the movie, they were still on winter vacation, and they hadn't even celebrated the New Year yet, which meant that episode 35 was still in late December, and school started in episode 12 in early April. In the months they skipped, they experienced the movie, the third semester, and the spring break, and they also captured a few Clow Cards that had never appeared before...
Forget it, I'll skip it. If it's an original story, there are too many things to do. Not only do I have to write about how to capture those Clow Cards, but I also have to write about what happened in their third semester, and I also have to write about spring break. The key is that the manga doesn't have these plots either...
The next chapter will directly lead to the 5th grade. The month has come to April, and the year has finally come to 4. Xia Yu will be born in one year.
