Stepped Over Her Vicious Stepsister To Become The True Bigshot! - Chapter 237

237 Going to the Ghost Market

Lu You rolled up his sleeves and pressed his arm against Jiang Yi’s shoulder, but his gaze landed on Gu Man. “Sister Man, what good stuff did you buy? Let the two of us broaden our horizons.”

Only then did Gu Man notice the change in how Lu You addressed her. She frowned slightly. She felt that this name made her look like a triad boss and she was a little dissatisfied. “Call me Gu Man. You can follow me tonight.”

“Sigh, Sister Man, the image of you bravely saving your friend is already deeply engraved in my memory. Ever since then, Xiao Xiao has been telling me about your deeds non-stop. I really admit defeat. Unfortunately, I didn’t see your heroic figure that day.”

A regretful expression appeared on Lu You’s face, but all the regret immediately faded. He slapped the table excitedly. “I couldn’t go last time. I have to go with you no matter what this time!”

!!
“Gu Man, your body…”

Jiang Yi wanted to persuade her again, but Gu Man had already made up her mind.

She’s going to the Ghost Market not only to sell the ceramic in her hand, but also to find items that nourished spiritual power.

Although the Sarira was a cultivation treasure in her previous life, it was not impossible to cultivate with other items, but the efficiency was low.

However, in this situation, she had no choice but to make do.

“I want to go too. I’m worried about you two men following Manman.”

Xiao Xiao gritted her teeth and her body trembled slightly. It could be seen how much of a trauma she had suffered last time, but under such circumstances, she still wanted to follow. Seeing this, Gu Man’s expression softened. “I’m just going to buy something. I’ll be out soon. Nothing will happen. You were also quite frightened last time. Rest well. I’ll bring you along next time.”

Her soft words landed in Xiao Xiao’s heart, making the scene of Gu Man saving her appear in her mind for some reason. The fear of the nightmare dissipated a lot, and the belief in her heart became even stronger.

“Manman, I’m fine. I want to follow you.”

Her tone was even firmer than before, and for some reason, she was much less afraid. Seeing her insistence, Gu Man nodded and agreed. With her around, nothing would happen to Xiao Xiao.

The four of them agreed.

As soon as school ended, Xiao Xiao and Lu You packed their things and ran out of the door. Gu Man looked at their excited expressions and shook her head helplessly. She and Jiang Yi fell behind.

“Are you really fine? Don’t force yourself.”

They were about to go to the ghost market, but Jiang Yi was still worried about Gu Man’s body. At that time, she fainted just like that. It was obvious that she had suffered extremely serious internal injuries.

“I’m fine. You might as well persuade those two excited people. They’re going so early and the ghost market isn’t open.”

After Gu Man informed her grandmother, she put away her phone and looked up at Xiao Xiao and Lu You, who were dozens of meters away from them.

The four of them sat in a familiar restaurant. Xiao Xiao also had a familiar excited expression on her face. She handed the menu to the waiter excitedly and looked at Gu Man happily. “I can make up for my regret last time. I didn’t order many dishes. I’ll let you try them this time.”

“Sister, we already knew that this restaurant was delicious last time. Why are we here again?”

Lu You looked at the large number of dishes on the menu and held his head helplessly.

“Last time was last time, this time is this time. Moreover, the dishes I ordered are all different.”

However, there was still some time before the Ghost Market opened. It was time to eat after school. Lu You complained for a while before throwing himself into the sea of delicacies.

After dinner, they walked around. It was almost time for the Ghost Market to open. Gu Man and the others decided to leave.

Even before the ghost market, Jiang Yi was still persuading Gu Man that the ceramic might not be worth much. Why don’t you come with me to look for Du Fei? If I step in, he will definitely refund you. 10,000 yuan is still money.”

“You don’t believe me?”

Gu Man was a little annoyed and blocked Jiang Yi’s mouth. Seeing his conflicted expression and hesitation, she strode to Xiao Xiao’s side.

Jiang Yi looked at Gu Man’s back and shook his head. He knew that it was useless no matter how he persuaded her. At most, he would secretly give them some money later and ask the shopkeeper to give her more. At least she would not lose money.
