Two hundred thousand Upper Grade Primordial Stones!
Chu Qingyun's brows shot up in surprise. Although he had prepared himself, knowing it wouldn't be cheap, the price still startled him.
"Does Young Master Chu find it too expensive? Two hundred thousand is a very reasonable price. Surely, Young Master Chu understands the difference between a seventh-level and a ninth-level Martial Artist. Besides, activating this Puppet probably costs several thousand Upper Grade Primordial Stones each ti. If Young Master Chu can afford to use the Puppet, he can surely afford to repair it, can't he?"
Chu Qingyun gave a faint smile. Repair it? Of course he could afford to. Two hundred thousand Upper Grade Primordial Stones were truly nothing to him.
After all, the inheritance of Primordial Stones left behind by a Martial King was an unimaginably vast sum.
Just then, Qin Ya smiled and shot Chu Qingyun a flirtatious glance, cooing, "Of course, if Young Master Chu is willing to sell this Puppet to our Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, the price will certainly not disappoint you. How about five hundred thousand Upper Grade Primordial Stones?"
"No need. I can afford two hundred thousand Upper Grade Primordial Stones. When can the repairs be completed?" Chu Qingyun said, biting the tip of his tongue again to stay clear-headed.
A clear flicker of disappointnt flashed through Qin Ya's watery eyes.
If she could buy this Puppet for five hundred thousand, then repair and promote it properly, it could definitely be the final, show-stopping item in a grand auction, earning them a massive profit.
Unfortunately, her Charm ability seed to have no effect on Chu Qingyun.
This couldn't help but make Qin Ya feel frustrated, and she even began to doubt her own allure.
"The necessary components should arrive in about half a month. According to the rules of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, you'll need to pay a deposit of twenty thousand Upper Grade Primordial Stones first, Young Master Chu. You can pay the remaining one hundred and eighty thousand upon completion."
Chu Qingyun nodded, counted out twenty thousand Upper Grade Primordial Stones from his Storage Ring, and handed them to Qin Ya.
"Miss Qin, a pleasure doing business with you. Oh, right, here's the money for the Demon Cores as well."
"Hehe, don't worry about that. Just consider it a little discount from . If you have any more big business in the future, Young Master Chu, don't you forget about your big sister," Qin Ya said with a lovely laugh, the ample curves of her chest rising and falling like waves.
"Ahem, of course, of course."
With that, Chu Qingyun put away the Puppet and hurried out.
"Young Master Chu, what's the rush? Stay and have a cup of tea with before you go."
'Hmph, you brat. I thought you were really all pure and detached. Turns out you were just scared off by my charms after all.'
Seeing Chu Qingyun's slightly flustered retreat, Qin Ya's smile grew even wider.
Hearing her words, Chu Qingyun rolled his eyes helplessly. 'Another cup of tea with you and I'd bite my tongue off. This woman is terrifying.'
Outside, Zhao Hanyun and Steward Liu were sitting together drinking tea. When they saw Chu Qingyun co out as if he were fleeing, they exchanged a look and both smirked.
That kid definitely didn't have any real business. He must have offended Qin Ya and gotten thrown out.
"Sigh, what did I tell you? Pretending to be a big shot when you're nothing… it never ends well," Zhao Hanyun said sarcastically, holding his teacup.
Steward Liu also shot Chu Qingyun a look of disgust and said to the guards nearby, "All of you, rember this man. If he dares to set foot in the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower again, throw him out. The nerve of him, coming to our Tower to swindle and show off."
Chu Qingyun glanced at them, shook his head, and walked away.
'An arrogant fool of a young master and a sycophantic old codger. I can't be bothered with these two shaless clowns.'
"Wait. You can go, but leave my Demon Cores behind."
Zhao Hanyun suddenly blocked Chu Qingyun's path, his eyes fixed on the bundle in his hand.
"Young Master Zhao, I've already given those Demon Cores to Young Master Chu. You should stop pestering him," Qin Ya said, walking out from behind them.
Hearing this, Zhao Hanyun's expression changed. "Miss Qin, the Demon Cores are a small matter, but don't forget the big business you have with my Zhao Family."
"But Young Master Chu has also given a big piece of business. This puts in such a difficult position."
Qin Ya rubbed her smooth forehead, her expression seemingly troubled.
But any clever observer could see that she had already made her choice. Otherwise, she wouldn't have co out and announced she was giving the Demon Cores to Chu Qingyun.
However, with Zhao Hanyun's level of intelligence, he obviously hadn't figured that out yet.
"Him? With his poor, shabby appearance, what kind of big business could he possibly give you?! Miss Qin, by doing this, you're offending my Zhao Family of Fla City!"
Zhao Hanyun was about to go mad with anger. He had just boasted that he would definitely get the Demon Cores, but now Qin Ya had given them to Chu Qingyun instead. He felt as if he had just been slapped in the face.
Qin Ya's expression turned cold as she said icily, "Young Master Zhao, are you using the Zhao Family to threaten the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower?"
Qin Ya was a person accustod to a high position. When her face turned cold, the very air around them seed to drop in temperature. Steward Liu, standing at the side, was so frightened he began to tremble.
As for Zhao Hanyun, cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
He had definitely been blinded by anger and jealousy. Now that he had sobered up, he realized just how foolish his words had been.
There was a Ten Thousand Treasures Tower in every city under Lianshan County's jurisdiction, and a powerful headquarters in the County City itself. The Zhao Family, on the other hand, was rely a local Overlord in Fla City.
Taking a huge step back, even if the Zhao Family had the power to contend with the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, it didn't an they would offend the Tower for the sake of a re Zhao Hanyun.
In the end, he was rely the son of a Zhao Family Elder, a good-for-nothing young master with no real standing in the family.
"M-Miss Qin, I misspoke just now, I..."
"Enough. Get out. From now on, you are forbidden from taking even half a step into the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower! If the Zhao Family wants to continue negotiating business, they can send soone else."
With a cold face, Qin Ya ordered him to leave.
'A re good-for-nothing from the Zhao Family dares to call soone else shabby. Chu Qingyun's clothes may not be the best, but forget everything else—that Storage Ring alone is worth enough to buy ten Zhao Families!'
Zhao Hanyun didn't dare to linger. He shot Chu Qingyun a vicious glare and scurried away in disgrace.
"Young Master Zhao," Chu Qingyun called after him, "I'd like to return a certain phrase to you. You think you're worthy of playing gas with ?"
Zhao Hanyun's face stiffened, and he nearly fainted from rage. Those were the exact words he had said to Chu Qingyun earlier, now thrown right back at him.
However, he didn't dare cause any more trouble now. He had to hurry ho and find soone else to take over the business negotiations.
His older brother had gone to great lengths to secure this business opportunity for him. If he truly ssed up the family's business, he would face severe punishnt.
"Steward Liu, go pack your things. From this mont on, you have no further connection to the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower," Qin Ya said coolly, firing the steward.
Steward Liu's legs gave out, and he collapsed onto the floor.
'That damned idiot! Why did he have to go and provoke Qin Ya?!' he cursed in his heart at Zhao Hanyun.
But he seed to have forgotten that if he hadn't been the one to suck up to Zhao Hanyun in the first place, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
