Business was business.
Fei Cai felt that her thoughts were not wrong. This was a win-win business, so she directly and openly admitted it.
“Mr. Jiang, as you said, if you can really entrust the high-grade spirit stone in your hands to our Hundred Treasures House for auction, it will indeed bring great benefits to our Hundred Treasures House,” Fei Cai said without hesitation.
“However, we will also try our best to strive for the greatest benefits for you, Mr. Jiang.”
“Moreover, I can make the decision and charge the lowest handling fee. You will also become our Hundred Treasures House’s forever and most respected friend. Mr. Jiang, what do you think of my proposal?”
Fei Cai stared at Jiang Ping with anticipation.
She felt that she had already given her utmost sincerity, so it was impossible for Jiang Ping not to be tempted at all.
As long as Jiang Ping was even the slightest bit tempted, she would be able to…
Before she could finish feeling smug, she heard Jiang Ping say with a calm expression, “I think, it’s nothing much.”
“What?” Fei Cai’s eyes instantly widened as she stared at Jiang Ping in disbelief. She asked in puzzlement, “Mr. Jiang, don’t you have any thoughts at all?”
“Exchanging a high-grade spirit stone for such a generous reward and our Hundred Treasures House’s friendship, do you want to reconsider?”
“There’s no need. I really don’t have any intention of auctioning spirit stones,” Jiang Ping replied without hesitation.
“Tm afraid that a mere Fusheng City won’t be able to bring out anything that can move my heart. Since that’s the case, why should I waste my efforts?”
This wasn’t Jiang Ping’s arrogance.
Through signing in every day and obtaining the system’s rewards, Jiang Ping had long accumulated a large pile of heavenly and earthly treasures that were rare and precious.
He had long since become tired of aesthetics. He didn’t even want to take a second look at the treasures in the eyes of ordinary people. He didn’t believe that a small Fusheng City would be able to bring out anything that could move his heart.
Moreover, although he could request the Hundred Treasures House to keep his identity a secret.
However, if the Hundred Treasures House really brought out a second high-grade spirit stone, it would definitely arouse the curiosity of many people.
Perhaps they would think that the person who auctioned off the two high-grade spirit stones was the same, and then they would crazily inquire about him.
There was nothing a determined person couldn’t accomplish. It was only a matter of time before his identity was exposed if he was really was being pursued by others.
Jiang Ping had just moved to Fusheng City, and he hadn’t even familiarized himself with the house yet. He didn’t want to move again so soon.
Fei Cai opened her mouth. Her complicated expression was obvious, but in the end, it turned into a helpless sigh. She opened her red lips slightly and said, “In that case, I will not force you anymore.”
“Even though the business deal did not go through, we could still be friends. Judging from Mr. Jiang’s words, you should not be a local of Fusheng City, right? I wonder where did you come from. Would you be willing to be my friend?”
From Jiang Ping’s tone and the content of his words, Fei Cai knew that this deal was destined to fail.
However, she was also more convinced that Jiang Ping was definitely not a local of Fusheng City. Moreover, he must be a young master from a top-tier force!
After all, none of the treasures in Fusheng City had caught his eye. Wasn’t this the best proof?
Fei Cai didn’t know why, but even though Jiang Ping’s words sounded arrogant, she inexplicably believed that it was the truth.
Therefore, she turned her focus to inquiring about Jiang Ping’s background. Although the deal wasn’t going to happen, it wouldn’t be a loss if she could obtain the friendship of such a mysterious person.
Hearing this, Jiang Ping raised his eyebrows and said seriously, “From where I came.”
“Uh.
Fei Cai gently patted her forehead, feeling helpless.
From where I came?
Isn’t this just nonsense?
You couldn’t have fallen from the sky, right!
However, she didn’t dare to say these words out loud. If she accidentally offended this person in front of her…
She forced a smile and said, “Mr. Jiang, I sincerely hope to befriend you. You don’t have to fool me like this, right?”
“Tm not fooling you.” Jiang Ping shook his finger and said slowly, “It’s just that there are some things that are not convenient for outsiders to talk about. I believe that Miss Fei Cai should be a sensible person.”
‘After saying that, he even sighed earnestly.
Fei Cai’s heart was immediately shocked.
She had heard that some of the established successors from large clans would be sent to other places by their elders. Moreover, they would be required to conceal their names and true identities. And only after they had cultivated to a certain realm, then they could return to the clan and take charge.
The reason for this was to improve their ability through their own capabilities and talent in the absence of outside help.
Could it be that Jiang Ping was the heir of a big clan?
Fei Cai was overjoyed.
She had made the right bet!
Being able to get to know such a person is definitely a great benefit to the Hundred Treasures House!
Fei Cai immediately revealed an understanding expression. She made a hand gesture and said, “Mr. Jiang, I understand. I will definitely help you to keep this a secret.”
“L know that although this situation is a form of training for you, it is also a kind of predicament. If Mr. Jiang needs any help, feel free to come to the Hundred Treasures House and look for me. I will definitely be your friend!”
“Oh right, may I know your name, Mr. Jiang?”
“Jiang Ping.”
Jiang Ping replied calmly.
Although he didn’t seem to understand what Fei Cai was saying, he knew that Fei Cai had already given him a reasonable explanation.
This way, he didn’t have to explain too much.
“Oh right, Miss Fei Cai, may I know how much the person who entrusted you with the auction of that high-grade spirit stone paid you?” Jiang Ping suddenly asked again.
Hearing this question, Fei Cai narrowed her eyes, and a crafty expression flashed in her eyes. She softly spat out three words, “Light Carriage Workshop!”
Good heavens!
Jiang Ping couldn’t help but be stunned.
The entire high-grade spirit stone was only exchanged for two workshops, the Light Carriage Workshop and Superior Jade Workshop. In the end, the Hundred Treasures House directly took half of it!
Fei Cai seemed to have seen through Jiang Ping’s thoughts. She smiled and explained, “Mr. Jiang, don’t think that our Hundred Treasures House is asking for too much. This was proposed by the owner of the auction item.”
“At that time, even I was shocked! So, I think that perhaps that person didn’t care about any worldly possessions and only wanted to deal with the Fang family.”
Fei Cai suddenly thought of something and asked again, “Oh right, Mr. Jiang, I heard that the Fang family will hold a banquet for their young lord who has become a core disciple of the Chuanyun Sect tomorrow.”
“However, after what happened today, I’m afraid that the Fang family will be very lively tomorrow!”
“Lwonder if Mr. Jiang will go and take a look?”
“Tm not interested.”
Jiang Ping answered straightforwardly.
‘What relationship did the Fang family have with him? Why would he go and join in the fun?
He didn’t want to expose himself in front of cultivators!
However, sometimes the development of things was often contrary to people’s wishes..
