Chapter 67 (1/2)

Compared to Keystone Business in Donglin Town, Keystone Business in Green-sun Tribe appeared insignificant.

When you entered, it was like in a gorgeous palace. Spacious and large, every place was filled with exquisite, antiquish and tasteful decorations.

With warm smiles, beautiful maids walked around the guests like butterflies flying among flowers. Their manners were neither servile nor arrogant.

Even for Lin Xun, who was dressed in plain and simple clothes, they were polite and impeccable in etiquette.

A maid took Lin Xun to the place where treasures were exchanged.

Soon, a treasure appraiser, who called himself Wang Lin, came over and talked with Lin Xun for a while. Then he took the Explosive-flame Saber to scrutinize it.

After a long time, Wang Lin looked up and said, “The Explosive-flame Saber, with much value, is a good stuff among the low-grade spiritual weapons of Human-rank. Sir, do you really intend to sell this treasure?”

Lin Xun nodded with a smile.

Wang Lin thought for a moment and said, “This treasure is worth 40 imperial silver coins. I don’t know if that price is satisfactory to you?”

Right then, Lin Xun took a look at the front of the counter where spiritual weapons were sold in Keystone Business and found that the average price of low-grade spiritual weapons of Human-rank was roughly between 30 and 80 imperial silver coins.

From this, it could be seen that the price offered by Wang Lin was neither high nor low.

Lin Xun didn’t care about it. The reason he came here was to reach a long-term agreement with Keystone Business, which was also a payment for his debt of gratitude.

At that moment, a maid suddenly came and called Wang Lin aside to say something in a low voice. Soon, Wang Lin returned and apologetically said, “Wait a moment, sir. There is an urgent matter that needs to be dealt with.”

Lin Xun nodded.

Wang Lin hurried away, but did not make Lin Xun wait long before he returned. However, Wang Lin seemed to have something on his mind and was somewhat absent-minded.

Lin Xun thought for a while and then took the initiative, saying, “Mr. Wang, this spiritual weapon…”

Before Lin Xun could finish speaking, Wang Lin waved his hand and said, “I’m sorry, we don’t do this business anymore. I hope you can forgive me.”

“You don’t want to buy it?” Lin Xun frowned at once and felt a bit surprised. Why did this guy change his attitude so fast just after leaving?

“Sorry, please forgive me.”

Wang Lin’s look became indifferent. This shocked Lin Xun, but he had started to figure out what had happened. However, holding back his displeasure, he got up and said, “In that case, I won’t bother you anymore.”

“Well, take care, sir.” Wang Lin’s voice revealed alienation and indifference.

Lin Xun suddenly asked, “This is what Mu Wansu asked you to do?”

Wang Lin froze, and soon his face changed slightly and said, “Sir, what do you mean?”

Watching his expressions, Lin Xun knew the answer. He shook his head and said, “All right, all right.”

Without any hesitation, he strode away.

Wang Lin sat there in a daze for a long time, and finally gave out a long sigh and went away.

……

On the busy street, Lin Xun turned his head and glanced at the magnificent and majestic building of Keystone Business, and a self-mocking smile appeared on his lips.

Lin Xun knew darn well that Mu Wansu disliked him. Especially after Yan Zhen was used to suppress Wu Business last time, Mu Wansu became even more and more disgusted with him.

However, after all, he owed Keystone Business a favor which could be deemed as Shi Shuan’s or Mu Wansu’s.

Therefore, Lin Xun would not resent them for the refusal today. It was just a spiritual weapon. Now that they didn’t want it, he could sell it to others.

“Mu Wansu still hates me. Doesn’t she worry that I am completely shameless and hold Shi Shuan’ s token to harass her again and again? How could she do this to me now? Regrettably, I’m not cheeky enough.”

Lin Xun shook his head with self-mockery. “All right. Judging from her attitude, I’m afraid she’s going to draw a clear line with me. In that case, I’ll just stay away from Keystone Business.”

Lin Xun stopped thinking about it and began pacing along the “800 Avenue”, observing various shops on both sides of the street.

However, soon someone took the initiative to greet Lin Xun. It was a man who looked mediocre and unattractive, but his manner was quite diplomatic and steady.

“Sir, if I’m not guessing incorrectly, you just went to Keystone Business to sell a treasure?” The man cupped his hands with a smile, and his voice was mild and clear, giving people a comfortable feeling like a spring breeze.

This was natural characteristic, which was unconsciously revealed from speech and behavior. It made this mediocre man appear friendlier, and it was difficult to make others feel disgusted.

“Exactly.” Lin Xun nodded.

“Let me guess again. You must have thought the price Keystone Business offered was not enough, so you didn’t close the deal, did you?”

The man continued with a clear tongue and a warm smile.

“Right.” Lin Xun nodded again. He had just carried a bundle into Keystone Business and carried it out again. As long as you had paid attention to that, you could assume what had happened.

The man smiled and then introduced himself, “My name is Gu Yanping and I run a shop called Golden Hall. If you don’t mind, why don’t you come to my shop so we can really talk?”

Lin Xun also smiled, “Since Manager Gu invited me so warmly, how could I not comply with your wish?”

Both of them laughed brightly.
