However, the cousin beside her began to worry. Just now, the fat shopkeeper had already transmitted his voice, promising him five low-ranked relics as a rebate.
He naturally wanted to close this trade. Since the rock had been appraised, and was not some marvelous treasure, him being able to earn a tiny bit from it was not bad.
He immediately transmitted his voice, “Ah Yu, just now what I said was to scam the shopkeeper. The price of twenty two relics really is not low! It is just an ordinary gem. It might be precious to mortals, but to warriors, it has typical usage. With my years of experience, can I be wrong? Besides, I would not scam you. Past this village, there will not be another shop like this!”
However, her cousin’s voice did not change the girl’s mind.
This rock was obtained by risking her and her brother’s life before they managed to dig it up. To dig this rock, Ah Niu had to climb up a steep cliff, and he had even injured himself. She was heart-broken over this for a long period of time.
Initially, she planned on using the money she obtained from selling the rock to buy pills and relics for Ah Niu. If not for discovering this rock and digging it out, she would not have made the firm decision of bringing her brother, Ah Niu to Heaven Martial City with her cousin.
However, if the rock was only sold at the price of 22 low-ranked relics, then all her plans would fall through. On the way here, they had already spent 10 low-ranked relics.
From just entering the city, to finding a place to stay made Ah Yu deeply aware of the expensive prices of Heaven Martial City. It was a place warriors like them, who came from remote places, could not survive.
“Sis, let us go.”
Ah Niu noticed her sister’s expression, and saw her hands trembling. He immediately grabbed the rock and pulled his sister’s arm in an attempt to leave.
Upon seeing this scene, the fat shopkeeper frowned.
How could he let a deal that was in the bag escape his grasps?
He looked towards the young man in his twenties.
The young man immediately put on a flattering smile and stopped the stubborn youth, “Young children do not know any better. They think their rock is something awesome. Let me speak to them.”
Saying that, the young man pulled the sibling aside and whispered, “Ah Niu, what are you doing!? Ah Yu, can you discipline him!? Where do you think you are? This is the Li Fire Sect’s shop! The Li Fire Sect is a extremely powerful sect, we cannot offend them.”
Ah Niu disliked this cousin of his as he turned his head away, saying, “We did not offend them, we just are not selling to them.”
“Ah Yu…” The young man looked towards the girl again and gave an annoyed look. “The two of you are always so obstinate. Do you think if you go elsewhere, you will sell it for a better price? The Treasure House is big, but they would never allow rural people like us to enter. They would not even think anything of what we have! The stores in these area have similar prices. The Li Fire Sect has done business all these years, and they have a reputation to uphold. Do you think they will scam minor figures like us!?”
As the young man was urging them, a jovial voice sounded, “Hahaha, this young brother. How old are you?”
