Chapter 164 Evil does not suppress good
The old woman said matter-of-factly, "I got it, what's wrong with you, young lady!"

Jian Ning could certainly take another box, but she couldn't stand these old people who were unreasonable just because they were old.

With a flick of her finger, the box of eggs was back in her hand.

Jian Ning didn't bother arguing with her, saying things like "I clearly snatched it." When faced with a rogue, reasoning and proving oneself are the most useless things.

She blurted out in a particularly smug tone, "Whoever grabs it gets to keep it!"

One sentence was enough to make the old lady very angry.

But seeing that the discounted eggs were almost sold out, the old lady had no choice but to squeeze in as fast as she could.

However, by the time she managed to squeeze in, the discounted eggs were all gone.

Jian Ning took the eggs and a carton of milk, ready to go and pay the bill.

The old woman immediately blocked her way, saying, "I clearly took the eggs from you first! What's wrong with you, young girl? You're so young and you're being unreasonable!"

The wicked are the first to complain.

Jian Ning didn't want to talk to her at all.

The other party persisted in blocking their way, shouting at the top of their lungs. The Wushi dialect is not mild to begin with, and when they raised their voices, it sounded like they were singing a song.

"Everyone come and see! A young man stole an egg from an old lady like me. Is there no law anymore?"

Jian Ning stood still.

It wasn't because the old lady stopped me, but because I saw a message pop up in the system.

[The battle for resources in this secret realm was fierce. You successfully fought your way out of the encirclement, bringing glory to your sect.]

[You have defeated other cultivators and obtained 20 Ancient Phoenix Primal Eggs.]

She looked at the system and saw that it had popped up the same two-reward option as last time.

This time, Jian Ning wasn't in the mood to spin the wheel and directly chose the Secret Realm Fragment.

If you do the math, she now has three fragments of the secret realm.

I don't know how many fragments I need to collect to unlock the secret realm.

It was the sudden message from the system that made her stand still. By the time she came to her senses, a group of elderly women and men had already gathered around her.

When she's out and about, Jian Ning has even gotten used to people's indifference.

Such scenes of being surrounded and watched by people are rarely seen in the northern part of the city.

Even when people are just observing, they keep their distance.

There are many young people in the north of the city who are out and about, always in a hurry, and they don't even have the interest to gossip, for fear of being caught in the crossfire.

This gave her a clearer and more authentic sense of being in Wuhu.

The atmosphere here is more vibrant and alive than in the northern part of the city.

The old woman in front of her was still accusing her: "You all be the judge, this young girl took advantage of her youth to steal my eggs, what kind of behavior is that, so shameless."

Jian Ning's face darkened. "Have you said enough?"

An older woman nearby advised, "Young lady, don't take it to heart. Be generous and give her the eggs."

The people around them also offered the same advice.

After all, most young people don't bother arguing with older people to avoid trouble; they just let it go.

It's just a carton of eggs anyway.

The system appeared at that moment.

On the path of cultivation, without practical combat skills, progress is difficult. And coincidentally, a cunning and eloquent charlatan stands before you—why not engage in a thoroughly enjoyable contest?

[Mission triggered!]

[Mission: Sparring with the heretical sect until she bows her head in defeat.]

[Reward: Choose one of the following: Secret Realm Fragment *1 or Lucky Draw *1]

Jian Ning, holding the eggs, looked at the aunt who had spoken first, "Since you're so generous, why don't you just give her the eggs? Why bother trying to persuade me to be generous?" The aunt instinctively hugged the eggs tighter and fell silent.

An old man next to him, with his hands behind his back, reprimanded, "Hey, you're supposed to be young, don't you know how to respect the elderly and care for the young?"

Jian Ning has a striking face, but her personality is always aloof, which is reflected on her face, giving people a lukewarm feeling.

Everyone who saw it thought this girl was easy to manipulate.

When she was little, people would often deliberately praise her, saying, "You're sensible, obedient, and a good child."

I only realized it when I grew up.

In fact, when these words are spoken by outsiders, they do not necessarily have a positive connotation.

It might mean: easy to manipulate, easy to bully, and tolerant.

But as soon as Jian Ning opens her mouth, all those who thought she was easy to manipulate will fall apart on their own.

She looked at the old man and said, "You call yourself a human being? You can't even speak a few human words."

People naturally have a tendency to avoid trouble.

I originally just wanted to join in the fun and say a few words to see the older woman and the young girl arguing.

But if it makes me unhappy, my subconscious reaction is to stay out of it.

The old lady, not knowing how to do it, tried to snatch it by hand.

"this is mine!"

Jian Ning dodged the attack: "You think it's yours just because you say so? Then I could say all the money in the bank is mine."

The old lady gritted her teeth in anger and rushed over to grab Jian Ning's arm, trying to snatch the eggs away.

Jian Ning clutched her heart and slowly collapsed to the ground.

She gasped for breath, her voice strained: "I... my heart can't breathe."

The old lady immediately jumped three steps away.

She looked at the onlookers and said, "I didn't touch her! I really touched her!"

Another person commented: "Young people these days face a lot of work pressure, and their bodies are as fragile as paper. It seems that this old lady has really angered them."

The old lady was extremely anxious, fearing someone might get hurt, and reached out to help Jian Ning: "Young lady, it's alright, I won't fight you for the eggs anymore, don't be angry. I just thought you were young and wouldn't hold a grudge against me over a box of eggs. I was wrong, please don't get hurt."

Oh dear, if I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have tried to take it from you.

"It's just a carton of eggs. What if someone dies? What am I going to do then?"

Jian Ning was helped up by the old lady, who kept patting her back to help her catch her breath.

Jian Ning looked at the system pop-up.

Today, even the wicked are defeated by you. In the end, good triumphs over evil. You truly live up to your reputation!

When faced with the choice between two rewards, Jian Ning still chose the Secret Realm Fragment.

She quickly seemed to recover from her emotional outburst and looked at the old woman: "I was the one who grabbed the eggs, and you're being unreasonable by arguing. I was just too angry for a moment, and my heart wasn't feeling well. Now, I'm fine."

The old lady patted her chest and said, "It's good that you're alright. Go back and lie down. Please don't let anything happen to you."

Finally, when Jian Ning went to pay, the old lady pressed her down and paid for her.

Jian Ning felt perfectly at ease and said, "Thank you."

After all, her performance fee is enough to buy a carton of eggs and a case of milk.

Jian Ning had just arrived home with eggs and milk when she received a call from Zhang Nan.

"Ningning, did you get into a fight with someone in the supermarket?"

Jian Ning frowned in surprise. "It wasn't exactly a fight, but how did you know?"

Zhang Nan exclaimed, "It's trending! I'm a gossip enthusiast, nothing can escape my eyes when it's trending, I saw it right away."
