The Respectable Fish Selling Guy!
(Big chapter for monthly ticket updates)_2 …
After a short while, the goateed cultivator wandered into a magic artifact shop.
Chen Dengming observed two people standing guard at the entrance of the shop.
...
Instead of recklessly following him in, he circled around to the back of the shop, performed a Wood Escape Skill, and tucked himself inside a large tree.
A little while later, a shadowy figure flew out and darted from the back door into the shop, heading straight for the second floor.
At that moment.
In the extravagantly decorated second-floor hall, Boss Hu leaned against the back of his chair, pulled out a pipe, lit the tobacco, and began puffing out smoke leisurely.
He looked at the parcel his subordinate had opened and chuckled lightly.
“After purchasing this package of Gu objects, don’t buy any more if that kid has more in the future.
Ruin his business.
Of course, if the kid has any sense and is willing to cooperate, that’s another matter.”
The goateed cultivator respectfully said, “Boss Hu, you mentioned that the person behind that kid is an old associate of yours.
Why don’t you go and visit him personally?
If you intervene, wouldn’t your old associate be willing to cooperate with you?”
Boss Hu glared at him, “What do you know?
This is just a guess of mine.
Even if it is him, that kid is shrewd.
People say…
what’s that…
a tree in spring has two types of branches, warm in the south and cold in the north.
A certain significance is present, yet it’s like a flown leaf, scattered in the wind.
We exploit each other in the gathering place, and when trouble comes, we each fly away.
What’s the point of our past friendship?
Why hasn’t he come to find me yet?
I’m not going to go after him at this point.
Instead, I’ll pretend I don’t know anything to give him a lesson and force him to cooperate with me.
So it’s not me asking him for help, but him asking me.
Many things can be negotiated in this way, and aren’t we the ones setting the price and shaping the conditions…”
With that, he kicked off his shoes, squatted on his chair, and started puffing out smoke in large gulps.
He has always been envious of the Gu Refining Skill in Chen Dengming’s hands, but before, he had no conditions for trading.
But now, conditions have arrived.

Considering Chen Dengming is isolated in the Brocade Mill, if he wants to cooperate and make money, he needs to recognize the reality; he has to stoop to him.
He must hold the initiative firmly in his hand.
The goateed cultivator raised a thumb in approval, grinning.
…
A short while later.
A faint, ethereal spiritual body suddenly flitted through the cracks in the back door of the Four Tigers Shop, floating towards the trees in the alleyway.
Chen Dengming’s figure instantly emerged from the tree, and with a sweep of the Soul Snatching Array Disk in his hand, the faint spiritual body shrunk and entered the Array Plate.
With quick footwork, he immediately departed, only slowing down his pace when he approached Jiang Qiang’s lodging area.
He then connected with the Mini Array Spirit within the Array Plate through Heartfelt Perception.
The Mini Array Spirit was very nervous, its telepathic communication stuttered, recounting all the information it had just eavesdropped on, and it even added one more remark at the end.
“Sir, that, that was too risky.
If those two guys noticed me, they, they would tear me to pieces…
next, next time…”
“Okay, okay, I know, be more careful next time.”
Chen Dengming interrupted.
The Mini Array Spirit felt dizzy, as if it was about to cry, or rather, it would be crying if it had tears, conveying an emotion of sadness.
Chen Dengming couldn’t bear to see this, “Alright, I really know now, there won’t be a next time.”
At once, the Mini Array Spirit was overjoyed to the point of tears.
It was very naive and didn’t sense the implied meaning of “next time.”
At this moment, Chen Dengming was absorbed in pondering the information collected by the Mini Array Spirit.
Upon knowing the details, he couldn’t help but smirk coldly.
The old friend’s heart has indeed changed easily, or one could say, Boss Hu has always been a cunning businessman, never changing, always putting interests first, and pushing friendship aside.
Luckily, he never held any expectations for friendship since the beginning; otherwise, he would not have bothered testing things out.
Since the other party is unjust, it doesn’t matter if he’s not merciful.
He can pretend to know nothing afterward and counter them, reminding them that he doesn’t need to recognize reality because he himself is the reality.
Although he is alone, he’s also a grassroots, has nothing to lose, and can advance and retreat freely.
The Brocade Mill is large enough for him to build connections with other merchants, or he can leave anytime he wants.
Can’t continue?
Then don’t continue here.
If everyone parts ways, no one benefits.
He quickly moved, directly going to find Jiang Qiang…
Half a tea time later.
In an alleyway.
Jiang Qiang frowned and stared at the two cultivators blocking his path.
He asked coldly, “What do you two want?”
One of the horse-faced cultivators gently smiled and said politely, “Please understand, fellow Daoist.
You’ve been leading us in circles, and now that we’re making ourselves known, we won’t be following you around anymore.
Our boss is very interested in the Gu objects you have.
We hope you’ll come with us to discuss a deal.”
Jiang Qiang snorted coldly, “What if I refuse to cooperate?
Are you planning on forcing a sale?
This is the Brocade Mill, after all.”
The other cultivator chuckled coldly, “Correct, precisely because this is the Jingxiu Workshop, you should cooperate even more.
Otherwise, you’ll find it hard to continue doing business.
If you can’t do business, you won’t have any Spirit Stones, and you won’t be able to stand your ground here.”
His words were not necessarily false.
Given that the Business League could establish numerous shops in the Brocade Mill, they didn’t necessarily have the power to break the rules of the Brocade Mill.
However, within the rules, pressuring a small vendor is not a problem at all.
For example, as soon as the other party starts doing business, they can send people to surround the place.
Anyone who tries to get close will be scared off by their intimidating demeanor and glances.
Without even lifting a finger, they can ruin someone’s business.
File a complaint?
To whom?
Whoever it is, the Business League will bribe them.
No one would say no to money, and if someone does, it means they are not offering enough money.
