Chapter 58 – 55: A Noble in the City, Ma Gu’s Shock
“Ma Gu, what is that, such lowly meat, should it even be eaten by people?”
The finely-dressed youth turned pale, pointing at the meat stall and shouting with a somewhat sharp voice.
Especially those pig innards at the stall, a faint, almost imperceptible smell wafted over, making him nearly want to vomit.
Ma Gu followed his pointing finger and saw the pig meat stall, feeling somewhat helpless.
At this time, the entire marketplace fell silent.
As for the meat stall owner, he had become as quiet as a cicada in winter, his robust body trembling slightly, almost unable to resist the urge to crawl under his stall.
That finely-dressed youth was clearly some noble from who knows where.
Even Mr. Ma had to accompany him humbly, let alone a commoner selling pork who could provoke him.
“Mr. Wei, this is a rural area; these poor people naturally can’t afford anything too good,” Ma Gu replied with an ingratiating smile.
“Your body is worth its weight in gold, naturally, you can’t stand to see such filthy items. Let’s move to that side to avoid dirtying your eyes with these things.”
“I have already ordered the house to be cleaned; you can move in anytime.”
“Then let’s hurry and leave, if we stay any longer, I’m afraid I’ll faint!”
The finely-dressed youth covered his mouth and nose, full of disgust, and hurriedly walked forward.

Ma Gu quickly followed him.
As for the finely-dressed youth’s several guards, they hadn’t said a word from beginning to end, their expressions barely changing.
After the finely-dressed youth and his party left, it took a while before the people in the marketplace dared to slowly resume their activities.
Lu Qing also stepped out from among the crowd.
He watched the direction in which the finely-dressed youth and others had left, deep in thought.
This finely-dressed youth was clearly a noble from the city.
This was his first time encountering a city noble, indeed with much pomp and circumstance.
Just the few guards following him were not to be trifled with.
Although Lu Qing had not used his Superpower to investigate their origins, he could still feel that each of the guards was much stronger than him.
He estimated that not one of them was below the Muscle Bone Realm.
It was just unknown what kind of background this young man had that he had so many Muscle Bone Realm strong men as guards when he went out.
He had originally wanted to make contact with Ma Gu, but it seemed there was no chance today.
So Lu Qing simply carried his bamboo basket and began to make purchases in the marketplace.
The rice, flour, and meat at home had been eaten almost to completion recently, and this time he planned to buy more to take back.
As for salt, there was still no shortage; the last time his master went into the city, he had brought him back a big bag of salt, enough to last until the next year.
Just as Lu Qing was making his purchases in good spirits.
On the other side, Ma Gu, who had just arranged for the accommodations of the finely-dressed youth and his party, walked out of the house with a bitter expression on his face.
He had never imagined that the young master of the Wei Family would suddenly appear in his small area.
The key point was that he had to meet him with a smile on his face.
Otherwise, if his clan found out that he did not treat the young master of the Wei Family well, he would really be in big trouble.
But this young master of the Wei Family was notoriously arrogant and difficult to serve in the city.
If it was not absolutely necessary, he really did not want to get involved with such an ancestor.
Serving well – no credit; serving badly – even more trouble.
The most important thing was that, should anything happen to this little ancestor while at his place, even his clan would not be able to protect him.
Although reluctant, Ma Gu could do nothing about it.
Now, he could only pray that this little ancestor would quickly find what he wanted and leave quickly.
Otherwise, for every additional day he stayed, Ma Gu would have to spend another day in fear.
With a heart full of gloom, Ma Gu headed toward the market.
He needed to quickly take care of some matters at the market, like those selling chickens, ducks, and pork, which should temporarily disappear from the market. Stay connected through empire
Otherwise, if they were to clash with that particular youngster who was extremely keen on cleanliness again, there was no guarantee what might happen.
Upon arriving at the market, Ma Gu immediately made his way to the pork stall.
The fat vendor at the pork stall ordinarily treated him with great respect, so perhaps it was time for him to take a break for a while.
“Young Master, take a look, today’s fatty and lean meat is exceptionally fine. Whichever piece you’d like to buy, I’ll give you a discount,”
Ma Gu hadn’t reached the meat stall yet when he heard this line.
He was somewhat puzzled; that fat vendor was usually quite stingy when selling meat.
