Ch. 291 - Brother Made A Small Profit

The Sand Pavilion teahouse was filled with the customers' continuous buzzing.

Ye Anping followed Wu Guang into the back room, chatted for about a quarter of an hour, and then walked out with Xiao Yunluo's sword.

However, Wu Guang's face as he sent him out didn't look too good.

When they negotiated the price just now, Wu Guang asked for half a million spirit stones, but after he said that the sword seemed to belong to the Black Star Sect's Young Miss Xiao, the price immediately dropped by 50%.

After some haggling, Wu Guang finally sold him the sword for two hundred and ten thousand spirit stones.

Ye Anping felt that Wu Guang did not lose money, although he didn't make too much either.

"Master Liang, you take care."

"Bye."

After saying goodbye, Ye Anping put the sword into his storage bag, then turned his head and swept his gaze around the teahouse door, looking for Su Waner.

He felt that Su Waner would definitely be waiting for him outside to see if he bought Xiao Yunluo's sword.

But now it seemed that she had left?

So the fish didn't take the bait?

Ye Anping shrugged. If she didn't take the bait, he wasn't going to force the issue.

Just when he stepped out of the teahouse door with his right foot, Su Waner's voice came from the side.

"Master Liang, are you done talking?"

There she was, leaning against the teahouse wall, tossing a small spirit stone in her hand. Seeing Ye Anping coming out empty-handed, she raised her eyebrows. "You agreed on the price?"

"Already bought it."

Ye Anping took the sword out of the storage bag again and showed it to her. "It cost more than two hundred thousand."

Su Waner stared at the sword in Ye Anping's hand with wide eyes. "You only chatted for a quarter of an hour and then bought it directly? Aren't you afraid it would be too expensive?"

"Indeed, it's not cheap, but this is a good sword, well worth the price." Ye Anping smiled faintly and pulled Xiao Yunluo's sword out by half an inch. "Two hundred thousand is not a lot of money for me."

Two hundred thousand was not a lot of money?!

Su Waner narrowed her eyes and involuntarily glanced at the storage bag on Ye Anping's waist. "Is Master Liang from a noble family? An ordinary cultivator couldn't come up with so many spirit stones at once."

Ye Anping also pretended to be a foppish fool and smiled. "I'm just a Young Master from a noble family."

"Is your family famous? The Liang family..."

"Hehe... You probably never heard of it. The family I belong to is just a local wealthy landowner. There are no particularly high-level cultivators, and the head of the family is just in the early stage of Core Formation."

Listening to Ye Anping's words, Su Waner felt a burst of joy in her heart. This is great!

Since he wasn't from a particularly powerful family, she didn't have to worry about being hunted down after stealing this kid's things.

Before, she went to the Sword Gate Sect and only got a bag of Fire Spirit Pearls, but it was as if the sect members held a grudge against her for killing their father. The whole sect came out to chase her, forcing her to escape to Jade Pass City to lay low for a while.

But back to the present...

Su Waner glanced at Ye Anping's face again. This kid looked so smart on the outside, but it turned out he was pretty dumb.

He actually flashed his wealth in front of someone he had just met.

Did he think that after showing off, she would admire him?

Heh...

Although he looked really good, she was not a silly girl who could be beguiled just by looking at his face.

Su Waner pursed her lips, then asked, "Young Master Liang, showing off like this, aren't you afraid that I'll kill you and steal your goods and your storage bag?"

"I can see that you are beautiful and kind-hearted, and you don't look like that kind of vicious person." Ye Anping smiled as he continued, "Miss Su, how about it? If you don't mind, would you have a drink with me?"

"You're a glib one, but if it's your treat, I could agree to a free drink. Why not?"

"It's a deal then, but I just arrived at Jade Pass City today and still have some things to attend to. Can we arrange it for tomorrow? Or, if you don't mind, tonight I'm staying at that inn across the street. You could come later to my room for a drink..."

"You want to lure me into your bedroom when we just met? Do you think I'm stupid?"

Su Waner crossed her arms and stood on tiptoes, only to find that she was still not as tall as Ye Anping. She pouted helplessly.

"Well, that's it then. Let's talk again tomorrow."

Ye Anping cupped his hands. "Then, see you tomorrow."

Su Waner glanced at the inn pointed by Ye Anping, nodded, and walked in the opposite direction.

After Ye Anping watched her figure blend into the crowd, he was about to go back to the inn when the Heavenly Return Bell in his storage bag rang again.

Jingle jingle~~

The sound indicated toward the roof of the teahouse behind Jade Sand Pavilion.

It seemed that Su Waner had just pretended to leave, but she had actually sneaked onto the roof behind her to secretly observe.

It had to be said that the fact that Si Xuanji stuck the bell on her was really helpful.

Now, no matter how incredible Su Waner's escape skills were, he could still pinpoint her location, and the success rate of catching her was a little higher.

"Hoo..."

It was just that he didn't know what Si Xuanji's intention was in placing the bell on her. It wouldn't just be for his convenience, right?

Ye Anping shrugged and no longer thought about it, then headed back toward the inn.

When he returned to the inn, Feng Yu Die was still feasting at the table and had already eaten the third plate of roasted chicken.

Pei Lianxue, on the other hand, was sitting beside her with a disgusted look on her face, drinking water and fidgeting.

Hearing Ye Anping's footsteps, she quickly erased the disgusted look on her face and turned around. "Brother, are you back?"

"I went to the black market across the street and bought a sword." Ye Anping walked to the table and sat down. He took out the sword from Wu Guang, placed it on the table, and said, "Sister Feng, I bought it for you."

!!

Feng Yu Die stopped gnawing on the roasted chicken when she heard this, and the hair on her head stood up. "Huh? You bought it for me? No charge?"

Ye Anping shrugged slightly. "Don't you happen to lack a spiritual sword? This one suits you. I bought it for five hundred thousand spirit stones. How about I sell it to you for four hundred thousand?"

"Half a million..." Feng Yu Die narrowed her eyes with a skeptical face and asked, "Since when are you doing business at a loss? Are you trying to trick me?"

Ye Anping smiled wryly, replying, "Later, when you go to visit the Sword Sect, you will need a good sword."

"Then, tell me the real price... exactly how much did you buy it for?"

Ye Anping shifted his eyes. "Four hundred."

"Huh?" Feng Yu Die narrowed her eyes even more. "Four hundred?! Tell the truth!"

"Okay, okay, I bought it for three hundred thousand spirit stones, and it was a cut price already. Anyway, let me make some money too." Ye Anping raised his hand to express surrender. "Three hundred and ten thousand spirit stones, do you want it or not?"

"Hmph~ So you tried to scam me out of two hundred thousand. In this case, ten thousand is more than enough profit."

Feng Yu Die wiped her nose with her hands full of chicken grease and happily took out three large bags and one small bag of spirit stones from her storage bag, throwing them on the table. "I'm letting you earn ten thousand! If it were anyone else, you wouldn't earn even that."

"Yes, yes, you're right..."

Ye Anping took the spirit stones, placed them in the storage bag, and then pushed the sword to Feng Yu Die. However, when Feng Yu Die tore open the wrapped oilcloth, she was taken aback.

Raising her eyebrows, she asked, "Isn't this Sister Xiao's sword? What happened to Sister Xiao?"

"Sister Xiao must have pawned the sword."

"She pawned it?"

"Anyway, she is fine. Now that you have paid for it, the sword is yours."

"Fine."

Feng Yu Die took out the sword and looked at it. Although she still felt it was a bit expensive, she thought that she didn't lose too much, so she stopped talking.

Ye Anping was also silent for a while, then looked at the door of the inn and said, "The Immortal Thief has taken the bait, so tonight we won't sleep. And remember, don't use swords and talismans, just your fists. Don't give her a chance to catch her breath and escape, just beat her till she can't move. Sister, you can use the Snow Jade Spirit Sword to block her retreat, but don't get close."
