Chapter 671 Setting up a trap
"Where is it?" Ye Xiaoman looked around.
Xiao Chujing replied, "Manager Yi helped me to connect with two owners who are interested in cooperating with us."
Ye Xiaoman took a deep breath and said, "The Shopkeeper Yi you are talking about is the old cultivator who received us at the branch office today?"
No, didn’t you just meet for the first time today? How come you have become close friends who can introduce each other to other people’s connections?
Although it is the halo of the male protagonist, my brother, your luck with noble people is too incredible.
Xiao Chujing told Ye Xiaoman his method.
"Ten years ago, Shopkeeper Yi's Taoist companion became possessed and transformed into a zombie. For years, he sought out famous doctors all over the world, but to no avail. Only the miraculous doctor from Kong Kong Mountain could save him."
"It just so happens that I have a friendship with Master Bu Yu."
No, when did you get involved with that miracle doctor without my knowledge?
So the red envelope that Xiao Chujing gave to Lao Xiu today contained not only a favor but also a token of gratitude for his timely help.
Xiao Chujing snapped his fingers in high spirits.
Ye Xiaoman saw two portals suddenly appear above the open space in the room.
The door opened and out walked a man and a woman, the two on-duty managers of the Huantian Chamber of Commerce.
The female boss was a capable woman wearing a mermaid silk dress, and the male boss was dressed as an ordinary accountant. It was impossible to tell their specific ages, and their behavior was no different from that of ordinary people on the street. The only difference was that there was a very shrewd aura flowing between their eyebrows, which made people dare not fool them from the bottom of their hearts.
The only difference was that both of them wore a miniature golden abacus under their belts. The beads shone brightly, attracting everyone's attention. When they walked, a strange sound was made, as if it was some very powerful magic weapon.
Ye Xiaoman discovered that Qing Yuanhu also had an identical abacus on his waist, which was probably the uniform equipment of the top management of the Huantian Chamber of Commerce.
Like the old cultivator in the branch, his level allows him to only use the silver abacus.
"Qin Xingshi."
"Wu Shisanniang."
After exchanging names, Wu Shisan Niang walked to the only table in the room and sat down. She glanced at the information about Qing Yuanhu scattered on the table, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.
She picked up the teapot and poured herself a glass of water.
"Emperor Sword, on this beautiful day, I just spent a fortune to secure the first night rights for Young Master Qinxiang. You'd better give me a reason to let this beautiful woman stay alone in this empty room."
The other male owner, Qin Xingshi, reinforced the inn's forbidden magic circle and set up sleight of hand on the doors and windows, as if he was very worried that someone would discover their secret meeting with Xiao Chujing in the middle of the night.
Sikong Qing was fooled by Xiao Chujing's pretense, and looked unhappy, without saying a word.
Ye Xiaoman held the white cat and watched the further development of the situation with curiosity.
After the two bosses learned of their identities, they simply ignored them because the main negotiator was Xiao Chujing. As they were in high positions, they didn't even say hello and only spoke to Xiao Chujing.
It seemed as if there were only three of them left in the room.
Xiao Chujing stood by the window instead.
He answered calmly, "The reason? The two masters don't want to drag Qing Yuanhu down?"
Qin Xingshi smiled briefly.
"As for me, it's not so bad. My winning rate is not that high, only 20%. But Shisan Niang might be more concerned."
"Twenty-one years have passed since the thirty-year period, and Thirteenth Lady is currently the biggest winner, especially after selling the Water Spirit Pearl for a whopping 1 billion high-grade spirit stones."
"Among the ten of us, the only one who can surpass her achievements is probably Qing Yuanhu."
He shook his head hypocritically, and fanning himself with a ledger, he said, "A strong enemy, a strong enemy."
The competitive atmosphere between the on-duty hosts is quite subtle.
Wu Shisan Niang sneered, "There are still nine years left in the thirty years. The world is still uncertain, and everything is possible. After Qing Yuanhu, it will be you, Qin Xingshi. You still have a chance."
"Enough of the small talk," she said, looking at Xiao Chujing. "How much can you offer me for your cooperation?"
Ye Xiaoman was surprised again when she heard the keyword "one billion" and looked at Wu Shisan Niang who was sitting opposite her.
Wu Shisanniang glanced at Ye Xiaoman with her slender and shrewd eyes and took a sip of tea.
The inn's tea was of mediocre quality, which made her frown.
She chanted a spell, and out of thin air a pair of exquisite round dinner plates inlaid with gold and pearls appeared on the table. There was a dazzling array of snacks to go with the wine, and the mouth-watering aroma of wine flew out of the gold, jade and ivory wine jug.
Wu Shisanniang drank alone and met Ye Xiaoman's eyes that were eager for food. "Want to eat? I'll give you 100 spirit stones."
Damn, everyone is a stingy person.
Ye Xiaoman turned her gaze away.
Sikong Qing raised his eyebrows. In the next breath, a hundred spirit stones appeared in front of Wu Shisanniang. "Give it to her."
Just as Wu Shisanniang was about to take the money, Ye Xiaoman moved like lightning, silently took the spirit stone back and put it into her sleeve, "Don't spend money recklessly, I'm not hungry."
It was the first time that Wu Shisanniang lost to someone else in terms of the speed of making money. She looked at Ye Xiaoman with great depression.
Xiao Chujing directly gave his transaction terms.
"I heard that Wu Dongjia's spiritual roots were damaged due to his incorrect practice of the 'Bone Tempering Technique'. On the first day of each month, his cultivation level would decline by more than three realms. If this continues for a long time, within a hundred years, he would surely die from shattered bones."
"It just so happens that I have a copy of the 'Chongyang Bone Tempering Technique' cultivation manual on hand. It is the source of the 'Bone Tempering Technique' and can help Wu Dongjia reshape his bones and muscles and usher in a new life."
Wu Shisan Niang was moved.
This was a deal she couldn't refuse.
She couldn't help but re-examine the young man in front of her.
"No more than three people in the world know that my spiritual roots were damaged, yet you were able to find out my weakness in such a short time."
Xiao Chujing turned to Qin Xingshi.
"One hundred and twenty years ago, Senior Qin obtained the Duhunzimu Cauldron. Rumor has it that within this ancient cauldron lies not only a map to a valuable underground treasure, but also a record of the greatest good fortune in the world."
"Senior Qin must have wanted to use it to support his already declining family. Unfortunately, no one can decipher the ancient code within. Only the spirit of the ancient tripod can understand the mysteries within."
"What's even more regrettable is that the spirit of the weapon is dead, so the treasure you spent half your life trying to obtain has become nothing but trash."
Qin Xingshi's lips trembled as the words touched upon the biggest pain in his heart.
No one knew how much he had suffered in order to obtain the ancient tripod. He even sold himself to the Huantian Chamber of Commerce and became a slave for nearly fifty years in order to obtain information from the fragments of ancient books.
Xiao Chujing smiled and said, "It's okay. I know a secret method that can bring the spirit of your Du Hunzi Mother Cauldron back to life."
"really?"
Qin Xingshi could no longer sit still.
Ye Xiaoman saw the enthusiasm in his eyes. Not to mention stealing Qing Yuanhu's Water Spirit Pearl, he would probably be willing to give it a try even if it meant killing Qing Yuanhu.
