"Oh?" Su Yang feigned interest, looking at the man and said, "What good stuff do you have?"
"Uh..." The man glanced around and lowered his voice, "Friend, there are so things that are not convenient to say here."
"What's inconvenient about it?" Su Yang asked.
"Hehe..." The man chuckled faintly, "So things aren't suitable to sell in here, and it's not convenient to say them out loud either. But, they are absolutely good things. Friend, if you're interested, we can go outside and talk. Just talk, if you see sothing you like, great. If not, you can co back, or I can see if any of my friends have what you need, and connect you with them. eting here, it's like fate, isn't it? Business doesn't succeed, but kindness remains, right?"
"But I just spent Spiritual Source to get in here, and I haven't finished yet..." Su Yang said.
The man's eyes flashed a barely noticeable cold smile, "No worries, the Spiritual Source you paid allows you to freely co and go within this place for three days. If you go out to talk and don't find anything you like, you can co back in without paying again. Bright City does this better than many other main cities!"
Su Yang's heart stirred slightly, that must an Bright City is pretty outstanding among the main cities?
After pondering for a mont, Su Yang pretended to be hesitant, "What kind of things aren't suitable to sell in here? Going out, that's also unsafe!"
"Friend, now this you don't understand!" The man sighed, "It's fine to buy things inside here, but selling things is different. You have to pay a cut to the guards based on the value of what you're selling, it's the rule. If you're selling sothing cheap, that's fine, but if it's valuable, then it becos unsuitable. That's why, you won't see too many good things in here; many deals are negotiated outside!"
"Really?" Su Yang appeared puzzled.
"Why would I deceive you about such things!" The man whispered, "Go out to talk, and if there's nothing you want, you can always co back. If there's sothing you do want, buying it outside would definitely be cheaper than in here, we'd both profit, wouldn't we?"
Su Yang contemplated doubtfully for a while, then pretended to discuss with the three Crystal Skulls behind him, finally seeming to have made a decision.
"Alright then, let's take a look outside!" Su Yang nodded.
The man's eyes flickered with a hint of joy, and he smiled, "Friend, you won't be disappointed. Co, follow !"
Su Yang and his company followed the man out of the trading market, and as they exited, many people were watching them. Their gaze was like they were looking at lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Leaving the trading market, the man led Su Yang and his three companions straight out of the small town.
Su Yang pretended to understand nothing, letting the man lead them forward.
After walking for about half a day's journey, they were far from the small town. Moreover, this area was very secluded, not a trace of people could be seen.
At this ti, Su Yang stepped forward and said, "Brother, can we please wait a mont?"
"What's the matter?" the man asked in surprise.
"These three have so business, let's pause for a mont!" Su Yang smiled. At this point, the three Crystal Skulls dispersed, heading in different directions.
"What business?" the man said, "We're almost there, don't waste ti!"
"It's nothing, just a small matter!" Su Yang smiled.
"What small matter, hurry back, we're busy here!" the man said, "Get them back quickly, whatever it is can wait!"
"It's nothing major, when nature calls, right?" Su Yang chuckled, "They're just easing themselves?"
"What?" The man stared wide-eyed, "Are you playing with ? Easing? Even the Saint Emperor would need to ease?"
"The Saint Emperor doesn't need to ease..." Su Yang chuckled, "But the Saint Emperor isn't foolish either, wouldn't you agree?"
"What do you an?" the man asked in surprise.
"Everyone's smart, why pretend to be ignorant?" Su Yang said slowly, "How much further must we go to reach the place where your buddies are lying in ambush?"
The man's expression changed slightly, but he still feigned ignorance, "What are you talking about? What buddies lying in ambush? What do you an?"
"Lure us out, take us to where your buddies are ambushed, then have them kill us and rob us of our Spiritual Sources!" Su Yang chuckled, "You've done this more than once, right?"
The man's expression changed again, but he held his ground, "How could you think of like that? I'm doing this for everyone's convenience..."
"Enough, don't waste your breath!" Su Yang said, "No one's stupid here, no need to talk nonsense. You've been watching us since we entered and circled around twice. Thought we were easy pickings, so you planned to trick us since it's inconvenient to act near Bright City?"
The man stared at Su Yang for a while, his expression shifting multiple tis before taking a deep breath and said solemnly, "Didn't expect you four rookies to have brains. To have guessed my intentions? Truly remarkable, seems I underestimated you!"
"Hehe..." Su Yang chuckled, "Your eyes are quite sharp, many people have set their sights on us, because we stand out too much?"
The man smirked coldly, "How many entering the market do it like you, with several people at once? This is just a small town outside, you think it's the main city? Nothing especially valuable here, good stuff can't fetch high prices. In outer towns, true experts only send one person to buy or sell necessary items. Sending four people in at once doesn't waste Spiritual Sources? Anyone entering like that is either wealthy enough not to care or a rookie knowing nothing. As for you four, hehe, let's just say wealth doesn't suit you, do I need to say more?"
Su Yang nodded; he had been wondering why so many eyed them. Now, hearing the man's words, he finally understood why.
Indeed, those who thrive near a main city are true experts. Possessing exceptional survival skills and scrutinizing eyes, real sly old foxes. Else, how could they manage to live so freely around here!
