"How can such a good elixir be wasted on them?" Wei Guanguan said unwillingly.
Wei Qi understood Mu Qingge’s intention, reached out and tugged on his sister’s sleeve to stop her from speaking further.
The proposal made Elder Dan’s eyes narrow and a bright gleam flash by. He chuckled and said, "This is indeed a good thod. However, is the young friend in possession of another elixir of the sa quality?"
Mu Qingge remained unflustered and lied, "Your building really flatters ; such a precious elixir, having one is already a fate."
Elder Dan frowned. He pondered that if there was only one elixir for testing, it wouldn’t matter if it was ineffective. But if it turned out effective, wouldn’t it be a great loss? Moreover, could an advanced elixir rely be a Great Replenishing Pill?
He probably never imagined he would fall into the trap he’d set for himself before any trouble surfaced.
The tightly furrowed brow of Elder Dan brought a trace of amusent to Mu Qingge’s lips. Playing with her, the old fellow was still a bit green.
Wei Guanguan blinked her eyes and suddenly understood the crux of it, imdiately raising her eyebrows and said, "Yes! We offered the elixir anyway. If you don’t believe us, go ahead and try it. There’s only this one piece; if you discover the Nine Lives Reversal Pill lives up to its na, you will leave empty-handed. If Wanxiang Building refuses this deal because of it, won’t it be ruining its own reputation? If you can’t assess an advanced elixir, how dare you claim to know everything?"
These words deepened the smile on Mu Qingge’s lips, secretly praising Wei Guanguan’s wit.
This girl’s words had practically cornered the old man in a cul-de-sac.
Mu Qingge swept her cool gaze over Chu Sheng and Lian’er, taking in their visibly sweating appearances, before finally focusing her attention on Elder Dan.
This old man obviously hadn’t expected the pit he dug to be so deep, and the elixir in his hand had beco a hot potato. At this mont, he was stuck there, silent and speechless.
Feeling that the timing was right, Mu Qingge then murmured, "Actually, it’s already more than sufficient to exchange an advanced elixir for intelligence that’s not exclusive. Why must your building be hung up on its efficacy?"
The information on abnormal fire isn’t lost after being sold to her; others wanting it can still buy it for the right price. The old man was rely upset she wouldn’t truthfully reveal the elixir’s origin.
Mu Qingge saw everything clearly with a lucid heart. She’s already provided him an out; it was just up to him to recognize its value.
Elder Dan’s eye twitched, and after a brief ntal struggle, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Very well! Today I’ll believe you. Wanxiang Building will proceed with this business."
Having said that, he put the porcelain bottle containing the elixir into his sleeve and turned to Chu Sheng with instructions, "Chu Sheng, prepare things for our guest."
Chu Sheng responded and left.
Mu Qingge and her companions stayed behind to wait.
With the deal concluded, Elder Dan’s gaze towards Mu Qingge had changed. His eyes unreadable, he said, "Young friend, this old man is Dan Chenzi, yet has not learned the young friend’s na."
"Mu Ge," Mu Qingge smiled slightly.
"So it’s young friend Mu," Dan Chenzi nodded, then in a mont, handed an invitation card to Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge reached out to take it, but Wei Guanguan exclaid first, "An invitation to the Wanxiang Building auction!" The astonishnt in her voice made Mu Qingge instantly understand that the invitation in her hand was not sothing everyone could easily obtain.
"The Wei family girl does have so insight," Dan Chenzi smugly stroked his beard.
Wei Guanguan shot him a glare, moved closer to Mu Qingge’s side, and whispered into her ear, "This Wanxiang Building auction is held irregularly, and I heard that each ti it invites people of significant status. My old dad seems to have received an invitation only twice." Her tone held a kind of admiration free from envy.
