Shang Wanyi's face suddenly darkened. He nodded lightly and said, "Master Lin is right. I was rude."
The elixir business was definitely a profitable business. Shang Wanyi proposed to cooperate with Tiandan Pavilion because he wanted to get the selling rights of Tiandan Pavilion's elixirs at a price lower than the retail price of Tiandan Pavilion, and then sell them to the west and north islands through the Universal Chamber of Commerce.
Just like how the high-grade pills in the East Continent were prohibited from being sold on other islands without a permit, the pills on each island were also prohibited from being sold on other islands without a permit. If one was caught doing so, they would be labeled as a smuggler, and there was nothing left for them to discuss.
Now Tiandan Pavilion's elixirs were in the limelight. If someone wanted to buy them on the middle island, he could go directly to Tiandan Pavilion. However, the elixirs of Tiandan Pavilion couldn't be bought on other islands for the time being. Shang Wanyi was interested in this business opportunity. However, without the permission of Tiandan Pavilion, even if he bought the elixirs, he wouldn't dare to sell them on other islands.
Lin Yi's meaning was also very clear. If the elixirs of Tiandan Pavilion were to be sold on other islands, the first choice would be the Hong's Chamber of Commerce, not the Universal Chamber of Commerce.
Since there was no possibility of cooperation, Shang Wanyi's attitude toward Lin Yi naturally became cold.
Wei Shenjin was secretly anxious and thought, "Boss, aren't you here to help me matchmake them? Why did you directly refuse him like this? You should at least respond perfunctorily and say something like "I'll think about it"! Or is this Boss's strategy of loosening the reins only to grasp them better? Forget it, forget it. I can't understand Boss's wisdom. I'd better follow Boss firmly.
Thinking about how his impression in Shang Yuhua's heart was probably quite bad, even if Lin Yi perfunctorily brushed off Shang Wanyi, there might not be any changes. Wei Shenjin was a little disheartened. He could only hope that his boss had some way to reverse the situation.
Lin Yi knew that Shang Wanyi valued the reputation of Tiandan Pavilion, but he just couldn't agree to anything. Therefore, he didn't care about the change of Shang Wanyi's attitude. Instead, he began to focus on building a bridge between Wei Shenjin and Shang Yuhua.
"Miss Shang, as far as I know, if a person with a Water Spiritual Root can cultivate an Ice and Snow Martial Skill, its power will be more powerful than a pure Water Martial Skill. Actually, you can give it a try. Isn't the purpose of our cultivation to pursue powerful abilities? If you can give some pointers to Wei Shenjin's Water Martial Techniques, that would be even better. " Lin Yi couldn't think of any better ideas at the moment, so he could only forcefully create a topic for the two of them to talk about.
Although Wei Shenjin was grateful for Lin Yi's efforts, he didn't have any expectations. It was probably impossible for him to have a good chat with Shang Yuhua today.
Sure enough, Shang Yuhua said to Lin Yi indifferently, "Master Lin, I know my own situation very well. I'm not interested in Ice and Snow Martial Skills. As for teaching others Water Martial Skills, I don't think I have the ability to do so, so you don't have to say anymore."
Previously, when Shang Wanyi was enthusiastic towards Lin Yi, Shang Yuhua would still have some scruples. But now, there was no need to be polite. She was just short of telling Lin Yi to mind his own business!
Lin Yi didn't know what to say for a moment. Wei Shenjin was such a disappointing thing. He didn't even have the courage to talk to Shang Yuhua. Relying on Lin Yi alone wouldn't be of much use.
Shang Yuhua's pretty face was frosty. She turned to Wei Shenjin and said, "I've heard of you. Originally, I thought you were a person worthy of sympathy. But now, it seems that I thought too much. Just now, you took the initiative to provoke Li Zaoyi from the Dan Hall. Later, you realized that there was no chance, so you turned to provoke me, Shang Yuhua. What kind of person do you think I, Shang Yuhua, am? Do you really think that you can provoke me at will? "
Wei Shenjin's face became paler and paler. He quickly shook his head and waved his hand, "It's not like this, Miss Shang. Listen to my explanation!"
"There is nothing to explain. I, Shang Yuhua, am not deaf or blind. Don't tell me that I don't know how to distinguish what I saw with my own eyes?" Shang Yuhua said coldly. She didn't want to give any patience to Wei Shenjin.
Wei Shenjin was suddenly speechless. When facing Shang Yuhua, he already had some symptoms of brain short-circuiting. Now that she said it, his mind was even more blank, and there was no possibility of thinking.
Lin Yi raised his hand and said, "Miss Shang, you really misunderstood what happened just now. Didn't you see what happened to Zheng Tianqing later? Wei Shenjin did lose his composure in front of Li Zaoyi, but I can guarantee with my name, Lin Yi, that from the time we sat down to the time it happened, he didn't look at Li Zaoyi at all, because you attracted all his attention. In this case, do you think he would suddenly do those things to Li Zaoyi? "
Shang Yuhua's pretty face was slightly red. Obviously, she didn't expect Lin Yi to say it so straightforwardly, but this didn't change her view of Wei Shenjin, "Master Lin, I said that you don't need to worry about my affairs. As for your friend, I, Shang Yuhua, am also not interested. Can you understand what I mean?"
Wei Shenjin was quite depressed. He nodded slightly and said, "I understand, boss. Don't say anything more. Let's go!"
Shang Yuhua waved her hand and said, "You don't have to go. I'm already full. Father, let's go. Let Master Lin and his friend enjoy the food slowly."
"Well, Master Lin, enjoy your meal. I'll leave first!" Although Shang Wanyi was not as enthusiastic as before, he still did the proper etiquette. He stood up and cupped his fists to say goodbye. Then, without waiting for Lin Yi's answer, he left with Shang Yuhua.
"Boss, thank you for helping me this time. It seems that I and Shang Yuhua are not fated to be together. No, it's not fated to be together! Let's just forget about this matter! "Wei Shenjin sighed and shook his head unconsciously.
Lin Yi smiled faintly and said, "Are you a person who gives up so easily? Or should I say, you actually don't really like Shang Yuhua. Otherwise, why would you give up so easily? Nothing in this world is easy to achieve. The more difficult and dangerous it is, the more precious it is in the end. If you aren't afraid of regretting in the future, then you can give up. But if you really like Shang Yuhua, you better pull yourself together! "
"Boss, I really like Shang Yuhua!" Wei Shenjin suddenly straightened his body and said solemnly. But then he collapsed again, "But she has made it clear that she doesn't want to see me. What should I do?"
