1902 Cooperation 3
Duan Feng found himself pleasantly surprised when his master directly approved of the proposal without requiring further discussion. This decision went against the usual practice of adhering strictly to established rules. However, given the current chaotic state of the world, his master recognized the need for change and acknowledged that Haitian Auction House would inevitably attract more attention in the future.
“We cannot expect things to remain the same. The world is in turmoil, and Haitian will not be exempt from the disturbances. We must adapt and be prepared for what lies ahead. The girl’s pills offer something intriguing and can provide us with more leverage within Haitian. Her conditions are fair, and in light of that, we can make some concessions and accept the deal,” the masked man explained.
Duan Feng nodded, understanding the reasoning behind his master’s decision.
Indeed, it was one of the reasons why he had also agreed to the proposal.
Today marked a turning point. In the presence of Elder Miss Zhao, who remained oblivious to Lady Chaoyan’s true identity, there was an air of disdain. However, Lady Chaoyan was different. Their encounter had been coincidental, and despite her cold demeanor, she had still cautioned him to be cautious.
Perhaps it was due to these circumstances that he felt inclined to spend more time with her.
Cooperation presented a tremendous opportunity, didn’t it?
“Alright, you may depart now,” the masked man said wearily.
Duan Feng nodded in acknowledgment before leaving with a smile.
Upon seeing Gu Chaoyan, he displayed a radiant smile and declared, “Lady. Gu, we have reached an agreement. Let us work together in this manner.”
“….”
“How many face-changing pills do you have?” Duan Feng inquired curiously.
“I have six here, two of which are reserved for your Haitian Auction House, while the remaining four can be put up for auction,” Gu Chaoyan replied.
She was not one to be stingy; in fact, she was quite generous. Given the right circumstances, they could work together harmoniously.
Duan Feng’s curiosity got the better of him as he couldn’t resist asking, “May I try one?”
Gu Chaoyan nodded in agreement.
Duan Feng called one of the guards over and glanced around the room. Since they hadn’t encountered any monsters and couldn’t easily transform them into such beings, they decided to use an object they had at hand.
Pointing to the table in the room, Duan Feng proposed, “How about this table?”
“Of course,” Gu Chaoyan confidently affirmed. “Just observe the table as the guard consumes the pill.”
The guard swallowed the pill without hesitation.
In an instant, his appearance underwent a remarkable transformation, perfectly resembling the table.
Duan Feng tapped the table, confirming that it indeed produced the sound of wood.
His astonishment left his mouth slightly agape. The sheer magic of it all was beyond belief!
He was certain that a pill with such incredible capabilities would fetch an exorbitant price.
No wonder Lady Chaoyan proposed this partnership. Duan Feng grew increasingly excited about their collaboration.
Meanwhile, Gu Chaoyan remained composed. She was already aware of the pills’ extraordinary properties.
As it was getting late, they concluded their deal and prepared to return to the hostel.
