Chapter 197: Bargaining (5)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
All Knowing Scholar was only responsible for connecting two parties, so no one would directly tell the information to them, so Shen Miao came today not to do business with anyone else but the All Knowing Scholar. She wanted some rumors to spread out from the All Knowing Scholar, and she wanted the royal family to “accidentally” hear about these rumors.
All Knowing Scholar had many connections in every nook and cranny of the city. Once a rumor was out, it would spread like wildfire, and no one would be able to find the source of the rumor.
Because this rumor was targeting the royal family, Shen Miao had to remain anonymous. She didn’t want to implicate her family. This was her plan.
“Fortune comes from danger.” Shen Miao smiled. “Shopkeeper Ji, do you dare to do this business?”
Ji Yushu scratched his head and said like he was put on a spot, “I’m naturally very tempted by your offer, but the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop is not a tool for power game. If I let the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop get into trouble because of my greed, I’ll really be letting the predecessors down.” He cupped his hands and continued, “Nowadays, not many people are in the business of All Knowing Scholar. For the sake of the my predecessors, I can’t take the risk. I’m sorry, Miss Shen.” He stood up and bowed to Shen Miao. “The Exiled Immortal Pawnshop won’t do this business with you. If you still want to sell the information, I’ll get someone to write it down. When the Chen family replies me, I’ll get someone to inform you. As for where we’ll meet up, you can come to the pawnshop in ten days.”
After saying that, Ji Yushu smiled at her apologetically and turned to leave. Just as he was about to step out of the tearoom, Shen Miao’s voice came from behind. “Shopkeeper Ji, apparently, my offer is not attractive enough. What if I put the Shen family on the table?”
Ji Yushu was stunned and turned around.
The girl in purple lowered her head and looked at the teacup in front of her, as if she was appreciating a beautiful artwork. Her voice was calm, making the vibe in the tearoom strangely tense.
“If you agree to this deal, the Shen family will be your connection.”
… .
Upstairs, Gao Yang and Xie Jingxing were drinking tea when they suddenly heard a nervous voice. “Emergency!” They looked up and saw Ji Yushu running in.
He lifted the curtain and sat in front of the table. He poured himself a cup of tea. Then, he panted and said, “I’m scared out of my wits.”
“What’s wrong?” Gao Yang teased. “Didn’t you rush down to see the beauty? Why? Is she beautiful or not?”
“She’s beautiful. Terrifyingly beautiful.”
