Chapter 39 The Transaction is Completed
The Mithril Merchant Guild's residence was very large, with a typical layout of a traditional Eastern courtyard house, and Yan Shi lived in the front courtyard.
After she left the room, she noticed that there were very few people in the courtyard, perhaps because it was nighttime, with only two or three guards.
Upon seeing her emerge, one of the guards at the door, Chao Yanshi, looked over and asked, "Madam, what are your orders?"
Yan Shi leaned against the door, lost in thought. Besides the known illegal goods, there were probably other things in this house, otherwise Wei Ning wouldn't have specifically assigned a guard to stand in a position where he could see her room.
They're so wary of her.
"I've come to see your leader to fulfill the deal we promised before," Yan Shi said lazily. "Or do you no longer want to complete this deal?"
The guards clearly didn't know much, and they couldn't disrupt what seemed to be a pre-arranged deal by the merchant group, so they were suddenly at a loss.
Coincidentally, Liu Guang walked in through the gate of the mansion, covered in dust, whether she had just been in a fight or something else: "Lan Lan, you should have told me if you agreed to the deal. Why are you making things difficult for our guard? She's not in charge of this."
The guard breathed a sigh of relief: "Deputy Commander."
Liu Guang looked at the few contraband items Yan Shi was holding and was somewhat disappointed: "The Bureau of Foreign Affairs seized more than just these contraband items that the Free Alliance had transported out, right? Lan Lan, you're only willing to give up these few items. You're so stingy."
"So, do you want it or not?" Yan Shi didn't give her any room for goading or persuasion, and asked directly.
Liu Guang: "Although it's a small amount, I still need it. I'll take as much as you can get."
"Can you decide?" Yan Shi asked.
“Of course!” Liu Guang widened his eyes in dissatisfaction. “I am the vice leader of the merchant guild. Now that Wei Ning is not in the guild, I can decide all the affairs of the guild.”
Wei Ning was not in the merchant group, and Yan Shi frowned.
Although Yan Shi defeated Wei Ning, the leader of the Mithril Merchant Guild, to some extent, Yan Shi always felt that Wei Ning, who could lead the guild to carve out a trade route in the Inner World and contract a portion of the Free Alliance's goods, was definitely not as simple as she appeared on the surface.
Liu Guang possesses high combat skills, but most of her emotions are written all over her face. Wei Ning's ability to keep Liu Guang under control suggests there must be a secret she doesn't know.
Yan Shi didn't want any more complications. She had already experienced enough this weekend, and she decided to complete the transaction quickly.
“I’ve checked the market price of these goods, and there’s no need for further profit sharing. Can you just give me 70% of the market price? Is that a deal? I’ll give you a 10% discount.”
Liu Guang: "So generous?" Fearing that Yan Lan might change his mind, she hurriedly held out her hand, "Deal."
Yan Shi: "Cash on delivery, goods received in return."
She ultimately decided to produce six alchemical items, mainly several that were powered by wood spirits.
The prices of alchemical items in the Otherworld vary. These items were all made by the dwarves of the Free Alliance. They are well-made, but they are products that can be mass-produced.
Liu Guang and Yan Shi used currency controlled by the Foreign Affairs Bureau for their transactions, totaling 840,000 for the six items.
"A anonymous memory card." Yan Shi's goal was clear; no further contact was needed. Her hasty confirmation of the deal with Liu Guang was solely for the purpose of leaving as quickly as possible.
Anyway, she had already left law imprints on all six alchemical items, making tracking very convenient.
Although Kirina's character is portrayed in the manga in a rather strange way, the faith she gained from the manga is real. And even with the current conflicts between Yanlan and Yanju's fans on the forum, it doesn't affect Yanshi's popularity with both sides.
Just as Yan Shi and Liu Guang finished finalizing the deal and were about to leave the courtyard, a slightly unfamiliar voice suddenly came from behind her: "Lan Lan, going out so late, why don't you rest at the Mithril Merchant Guild for another night?"
Yan Shi turned around to look.
Guan Yunji walked out from behind the house, followed by Wei Ning, who had just been told by Liu Guang that she was not in the merchant guild.
"No need." Yan Shi shook his head. "I've been bothering you for the night, and now that the transaction is complete, I'll be leaving."
Guan Yunji: "I'm your grandmother's friend, and I've watched you grow up. You don't need to be so polite with me."
“I’m going to visit a friend, Ms. Guan.” Yan Shi raised an eyebrow at her. “I hope you won’t restrict my freedom any further.”
"I believe my dealings with the Mithril Merchant Guild are an equal trade, not a contract of servitude." Yan Shi finished speaking, then casually clenched her fist, and water spirits, at her command, gathered in the sky. "Or do you mean I have to win before I can leave?"
With a sharp look in his eyes, Liu Guang took the initiative to protect Guan Yunji and Wei Ning.
Guan Yunji stared at Yan Lan for a while, then sighed, "Never mind, let her go."
Yan Shi remained vigilant, with Shui Ling protecting her from behind until they were out of the Mithril Merchant Guild's control.
Just after Yan Shi left, a loud slap was heard from inside the courtyard.
Liu Guang stood still, his left cheek covered in blood.
“Liuguang,” Wei Ning said expressionlessly, “when did I ever allow you to make decisions on your own in this matter?”
"Go to the dungeon and reflect on your actions for a week."
Liu Guang lowered his head, not using the fire spirit to protect himself, and silently replied, "I obey."
“Teacher,” Wei Ning waved away the guards in the courtyard, “I’m sorry to have made Yan Lan leave ahead of time.”
Guan Yunji: "It's alright." Her golden eyes were filled with coldness. "Lanlan said she has friends in Emerald City, which is true. If a fight breaks out, no one can stop her."
Wei Ning: "Since Liu Guang and she have completed the transaction, we have no reason to keep her here any longer."
Guan Yunji chuckled softly, "As long as she's still in Emerald City, she'll have a chance. I just didn't expect her to be a water-type archmage now."
It just doesn't quite match the fate she predicted back then.
This is also the strangest point.
Could it be that Shan Fengyang really had two granddaughters he didn't tell her about, and that he consulted her about the fate of another granddaughter?
---
After leaving Yan Shicai's courtyard, he walked quickly all the way. Only after he was some distance away from the courtyard did he feel that the intuition that had been bothering him had eased a little.
Her right eyelid had been twitching uncontrollably ever since Guan Yunji called out to her.
Since the inner world already exists, Yan Shi felt that the saying about a twitching right eye signifying disaster might actually be true, even though it's mystical.
"Okay," Yan Shi muttered, "I guess it's fate that I have to work overtime today."
She went home to change her clothes and then went straight to the Forest of Life to work overtime.
I don't know how things are now.
Just then, Yan Shi put on the uniform of the Bureau of Eccentricity and casually tore open a world barrier. "God said, go to the Elf Temple in the Forest of Life."
Her arrival was just in time; the situation was at a standstill, with tension between the Bureau of Evil and the elves.
As Yan Shi walked in, everyone present looked at her.
Gui Gemu was the first to react and bowed, "Director."
The various departments under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs all made way for her to walk ahead.
Standing at the forefront of the elven race was Fia, who was extremely emotional at the moment, her hand tightly gripping a spear made of intertwined green leaves.
Seeing Yan Shi approach, Fia sneered first: "The evidence is conclusive. Even if your Director of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs came, it wouldn't make a difference. It's good that she can also explain herself."
"You must not be disrespectful to Director Yan!" Upon hearing this, Shu Zhijing was about to draw his sword.
At the same time, a puzzled voice came from behind the elf.
"Yan Shi?"
Upon hearing this sound, the excited elves all quieted down.
