Chapter 277 - Everybody's On Their Moves; Lots of Suspicious
Zhou Jinjiang was the first to voice his opinion.
Cheng Biyuan nodded and said, “That’s not a bad number, not too high and not too low. Should suffice.”
“I don’t have an opinion, Miss can sell as much or as little as she likes!” Old Man Ying was being sneaky about his answer. He then looked straight at Cheng Xiao Xiao and smiled, “Miss, I think you have more than just that. When are you going to reveal them to Master and Manager?”
Having been to the dimension, he knew full well that she has much more than that. It was just a matter of whether she wanted to produce them.
Hearing his words, the other two looked at her with excitement, waiting for her answer.
Cheng Xiao Xiao glanced over to Old Man Ying slowly before she replied, “It wasn’t a big deal, but I think we can add some mystical herbs as well.”
“Mystical herbs?”
The two brother’s eyes sparkled. It wasn’t difficult for Cheng Xiao Xiao to tell from their looks that these would also be very popular items.
She nodded slightly and said, “That’s correct, I have some mystical herbs in hands now and will have more in the future. Might as well start selling them now!”
“Okay, whatever you see fit!”
“We will have another surprise for all those coming to the sale this time!”
The two responded one after another, they could not contain the excitement on their faces. Mystical herbs were awesome items that regular herbs couldn’t remotely measure up to. They could be turn into highly effective, life-saving medicines!
If the Cheng’s could provide these on a steady and on-going basis, it would certainly help with the growing and establishing of their family!
While the Cheng’s were discussing the details of the sale for the very next day.
Young master Zhu was hosting some not-so-welcomed guess in Lai Yue Inn.
These uninvited guests had all just arrived at Daling the day before in order to attend the auction at the Cheng’s.
Looking at the few old men in front of him, Zhu Xiangyu wasn’t too respectful toward them. Even with the age difference, he talked to them as if they were of the same generation.
“Mr. Zhu, pardon us for interrupting your rest!” said one of the older man, showing no signs of being apologetic as he said so.
The same could be said about all the others; they act as though it was very matter-of-factly.
Zhu Xiangyu had a cold and nonchalant look; it was difficult to tell what he was thinking about all this.
“Elders from all Nine Top Sects came to pay me a visit, to what do I owe this pleasure?” Zhu Xiangyu didn’t even bother with pleasantries and cut straight to the chase. From the perspective of a bystander, he was being extremely rude.
Yes none of the elders there dare to show any signs of displeasure, as though this was the most natural thing. If any of their disciples ever heard about this, nobody would believe that these normally extremely arrogant elders would ever behave like this.
It was true that they do not have the courage to show any displeasure, or better yet, they felt that Zhu Xiangyu’s tone was only natural. Never mind that he was already a martial spiritualist at his young age – same as some of the others in the same room right now – but everybody knew that Green Mountain Manor has businesses in every single country of the entire continent. And every product that they carried were treasures for every cultivator.
Naturally, all of them, who belonged to the cultivator realm, were well aware of this fact. Just his status as the next successor of Green Mountain Manor was enough for them to be respectful to him.
Not to mention that they were already being rude to be visiting unannounced at night; all things considered, Zhu Xiangyu’s reaction was not unexpected.
After he had raised his question, the elders did not respond right away, but they turned and looked at Elder Lin, the newly elected lead of the alliance.
Elder Lin did not let them down and asked, “Mr. Zhu, we don’t mean any harm. We just have a question for you and hope you can help us out with an answer here!”
