"Senior Qu, you haven't forgotten our previous bet, right?" Mu Hanyan asked with a smile.
Qu Shanling opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word.
What else could he say? Was he playing dirty? A little-known auction house had signed a heaven-and-earth contract with Longyan College, becoming a long-term partner. Furthermore, the contract was signed personally by a Saint Dragon instructor and the head of the Huanlong branch. Could the sensational effect of this incident compare to the performance of a shrewd old charlatan like him?
Even if he wanted to cheat, he couldn't find a reason!
It’s over, it’s all over this time. Qu Shanling looked helpless and resentful.
He had witnessed Mu Hanyan's methods firsthand. Initially, when he was flattered by his flattery, he was not overly impressed. He just thought this little guy was cute and to his liking.
But seeing him flatter Wenren Qingqiu again, flattering him so much that he signed the Heaven and Earth Contract in a fit of rage, he knew this flattery wasn't easy to enjoy; it came at a price. How could this brat be cute? He was nothing but a cunning and sly little fox! His previous cuteness was all an illusion, an illusion.
Although he has been a charlatan for most of his life, Qu Shanling found that he could not see through Mu Hanyan.
How did he know that Wenren Qingqiu needed these herbs, and it seemed that it was very urgent? Qu Shanling couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought.
The more he couldn't figure it out, the more uneasy he felt. He'd been hanging around with this guy, a man with sweet words but a vicious heart, full of ulterior motives, for ten years. Ten years! He was probably going to eat him till there was nothing left.
The thought of working for others for free for ten years, and not knowing how much business he would miss out on and how much money he would lose, made his heart bleed.
"What's wrong, Senior Qu? As an old man, you won't deny your defeat, right?" Mu Hanyan saw him looking at him in agony and gritting his teeth, and she felt secretly amused in her heart and asked.
"I, Qu Shanling, accept the bet and will sell it to Nanmu Auction House for the next ten years. However, there's one thing I can't understand: how did you know that Mentor Wenren urgently needed these herbs, and how did you know he'd come to Black Rock Field?" Qu Shanling, renowned and self-respecting, wouldn't dare break his promise. While fulfilling his bet, he also voiced his doubts. Without answers, he'd never be able to rest in peace.
"This is not difficult, because Brother Han Yan is also an astrologer." Mu Nan laughed.
Finally, seeing Mu Hanyan's astronomy skills shine, forcing the famous astrologer Qu Lao to suffer a humiliation, which was even worse than when he lost the ten thousand taels of silver. Mu Nan felt as refreshed as if he had drunk ice water in the middle of summer, and he couldn't wait to tell her the whole story.
"What, you said you are an astrologer?" Qu Shanling jumped up suddenly, looking at Mu Hanyan with his eyes wide open.
"Yes, I'm an astrologer." Mu Hanyan nodded.
She couldn't tell anyone that in her past life, Wenren Qingqiu had traveled all the way to buy these herbs, eventually finding Mu Ruian. However, while the herbs he needed weren't rare, and the quality requirements weren't high, they were too numerous to list. The Mu family in Blackstone City hadn't prepared any, and couldn't produce many, so he ultimately returned empty-handed.
Mu Hanyan only heard about this incident by chance a long time later, and it came in handy today. It not only made the Nanmu Auction House famous, but also recruited a treasure appraiser with excellent vision for the Nanmu Auction House, who was also a free long-term worker, which could be regarded as some compensation to Mu Nan.
