Business didn’t always turn out the way one hoped.
Manager Quan had miscalculated.
Initially, she thought Sehyun Wang would pester them, but instead, Sehyun Wang, in her attempt to win them over, offered to purchase Jade Fang Stone.
If Manager Quan refused to sell, she would offend the Lord of Skyward City, and the Lake Heart Pavilion wouldn’t survive in Skyward City, leading to greater losses.
If she had tried to stall them a bit longer, maybe they would have missed Sehyun Wang altogether.
Manager Quan thought to herself, "If they can figure it out, that’s great. If not, it doesn’t matter."
As for the background of the Lake Heart Pavilion, Amalia didn’t know, and even if she did, it wouldn’t matter.
They hadn’t found what they were looking for in Skyward City and likely wouldn’t co back to this city.
As soon as Sehyun Wang got her hands on the Jade Fang Stone, she eagerly presented it to Kenny Lin.
"Hey, handso brother, is this what you were looking for?"
Yuri didn’t even have ti to stop her.
The mont her mistress received the item, she was all too eager to show it off, leaving Yuri both amused and exasperated.
Being so blatant about it—if they didn’t take the gift, the other party might very well beco enraged and think they were being played.
"What? You’re giving it to us?" Kenny Lin asked, a half-smile playing on his lips.
"If you’re willing to co to my residence as guests, I’ll give this to you. A good deal, right?" Sehyun Wang’s eyes sparkled as she waved her hand grandly, casually offering up sothing worth two million high-grade spirit stones.
Two million spirit stones were the price her maid, Yaori, had paid to purchase the Jade Fang Stone from Manager Quan, which was already below market value.
Amalia’s eyebrow twitched sharply—this was the first ti she realized just how extravagant her mistress could be.
Two million spirit stones, given away just like that.
Kenny Lin glanced at Amalia, who controlled the family’s finances.
Amalia looked at Sehyun Wang and said calmly, "There’s no need to gift it. I’ll buy it at market price."
She still had fifty thousand top-grade spirit stones on her, which is equivalent to five million high-grade spirit stones—more than enough to purchase the Jade Fang Stone.
Upon hearing that the beautiful woman beside the handso man intended to refuse her offer, Sehyun Wang imdiately said, "The Jade Fang Stone is a gift, not for sale!"
As soon as she said this, the surrounding onlookers stared at the two of them with undisguised envy.
A Jade Fang Stone worth at least two million high-grade spirit stones—just given away for free!
What’s so great about being beautiful and handso?
Apparently, it really was sothing to envy.
The cultivators who are watching this scene could only lant why their cultivation hadn’t yet reached the Nascent Soul stage.
If it had, they might have managed to refine their own faces to beco so beautiful and handso that no woman and man in the Mystic Void Continent could keep her knees steady.
"He’s already at the Nascent Soul stage. That face has to be sothing he molded himself."
"That’s right. No one’s born looking that devilishly attractive."
"But if I had to change my face, I wouldn’t even know how to co up with sothing like that."
A skeptical voice rose from the crowd, but it was quickly drowned out.
After all, everyone was more inclined to believe their own guesses—or rather, to believe in their own jealousy.
Amalia shook her head.
Although the Jade Fang Stone was hard to co by, it wasn’t nearly as difficult as finding a Phoenix Feather.
Sehyun Wang began to panic.
While her main target was Kenny Lin, Amalia was also very beautiful.
Keeping her around would not only be pleasing to the eye, but it would also an Kenny Lin, the dashing man in white robes, might stick around as well.
Others might think Sehyun Wang was foolish, but she wasn’t.
She had long since noticed how much the man in white robes seed to value his companion’s opinion.
"My father is the Lord of Skyward City..." Sehyun Wang blurted out.
When everyone assud she was about to throw her status around to pressure them—including Amalia, who thought so for a brief mont—Sehyun Wang quickly added, "His treasure vault contains all sorts of valuable items, and perhaps it holds the other two things you’re looking for. If you co to my residence as guests for a few days, I’ll give you another treasure!"
In her attempt to secure her future partner, Sehyun Wang was now making promises on behalf of her father.
"Miss," Yuri called out, but it was too late to stop her.
"How do I know what you’re saying is true? If you don’t have what I need, I’m afraid I’ll have to decline," Amalia replied, shaking her head.
Sehyun Wang imdiately cast a pleading glance at Yuri and sent a voice transmission to her, "Yuri, does my father’s treasure vault have any ancient Snow Pine Wood or Phoenix Feathers?"
Yuri felt a real headache now. "Miss, the items they’re looking for are incredibly rare. Even if your father has them in his vault, they wouldn’t be sothing he could just give away."
"My father adores ! If he knew I was doing this for my future partner, he’d surely agree," Sehyun Wang said stubbornly.
"Miss, the Jade Fang Stone is already in your hands. If you keep bargaining, perhaps they’ll eventually agree," Yuri advised, wincing at the thought of giving away even one Jade Fang Stone.
"But I don’t think it’s that rare. The Jade Fang Stone doesn’t seem like sothing too difficult to find. Otherwise, how would Lake Heart Pavilion have it?" Sehyun Wang blinked in confusion.
Yuri had no answer for that.
Lake Heart Pavilion had shops in many of the major cities across the Mystic Void Continent, dealing in rare materials and spiritual herbs.
