The little boy was not lying about this. He had many different versions of the guidebook at home. However, the ancient version was too expensive and did not sell well. Every time he went out to sell it, he would only bring one copy. Therefore, he only had one copy left in his bag.
"Hmph! Isn't it just 70 Spiritual Jades? I'll pay 80! Kid, go get that guidebook. I'll buy it! " Tang Qianling thought for a moment and said resolutely. His eyes were still fixed on the guidebook in Xiao Chen's hand.
Tang Qianling concluded that there must be a secret in this guidebook! He must snatch it from Xiao Chen's hands no matter what!
However, he did not dare to take it himself. The shadow of being beaten up by Xiao Chen was still fresh in his mind. He was afraid of being beaten up again. Therefore, he could only order the little boy to go. Anyway, he was protected by the Honor Mystic Realm Union Association. Xiao Chen would not dare to do anything to him. If he were to hit Xiao Chen, he would have to pay for it!
"Cheh, I'll pay 90! I don't believe that you, Tang Qianling, have more Spiritual Jades than I do! "Xiao Chen said with a look of disdain.
"I'll pay 150!" Tang Qianling roared.
"I'll pay 200 Spiritual Jades!"
"I'll pay 250!"
"I'll pay …" Xiao Chen was about to raise the price. However, Jia Musen pulled his clothes and said in a low voice, "Xiao Chen, I don't have that many Spiritual Jades. Don't raise the price anymore. It's enough!"
"This …" Xiao Chen looked hesitant. He held the guidebook tightly in his hand and did not want to let go.
"I say, Xiao Chen, don't play dumb if you don't have Spiritual Jades. Do you really think that you are a rich man because you are from the Jia family? Do you think that you own the Heavenly Jade Mine? "Tang Qianling immediately sneered.
"Hmph, forget it! Since this idiot wants the guidebook, I won't fight with him for it. It's not something particularly important anyway! " Xiao Chen pretended to be carefree and shrugged, but a trace of "helplessness" flashed across his expression. He even flipped open the guidebook in his hand and pretended to be reluctant to part with it, as if he was trying to memorize the contents inside.
"What the hell are you looking at? You poor bastard, did this young master allow you to look? " Seeing this, Tang Qianling became anxious. He hurriedly strode forward and snatched the guidebook. He carefully put it away and then waved his hand at Tang Qianqi, indicating for him to give the two hundred and fifty spirit jades to the little boy.
"Young … Young Master Ling, are we really going to give all the Spiritual Jades to this brat?" Tang Qianqi clutched the bag of Spiritual Jades with a pained expression on his face. They had only brought 500 Spiritual Jades with them this time. Who would have thought that they would have to spend half of it just to buy a booklet before entering the Mystery Territory!
"Oh, what's up? Tang Qianling, are you planning not to pay after buying something? Could it be that you didn't bring that many Spiritual Jades with you, and you want to dine and dash? Don't buy it if you don't have the money. I'm still waiting here! "Xiao Chen retorted sarcastically.
Tang Qianling glared at Tang Qianqi and said impatiently, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up and pay the Spiritual Jades! What are you dilly-dallying for? Are you happy to be scolded for nothing? "
Tang Qianqi had a bitter expression on his face. Although he was extremely unhappy and doubted the authenticity of the guidebook, he still counted 250 Spiritual Jades and handed them to the little boy.
"Wow! Thank you, boss! " The little boy received the large pile of Spiritual Jades and held them in his arms happily. He lowered his head and counted them impatiently.
"Hahaha, Xiao Chen, I'm taking this treasure. We'll never meet again!" Tang Qianling held the guidebook tightly in his arms and looked at Xiao Chen and Jia Musen triumphantly. Then, he swaggered away with Tang Qianqi.
"Idiot! You really treat the guidebook like a treasure. Let's see how you die! " Xiao Chen did not care about Tang Qianling's gaze before he left. He looked at Tang Qianling's disappearing figure and curled his lips disdainfully. He turned to the little boy and said, "How was it? You've earned quite a lot today. Shouldn't you give me my reward? "
"Huh?" The little boy was still immersed in his own world. He was grinning from ear to ear as he counted the Spiritual Jades repeatedly. He had really earned a lot today. Just this transaction alone was enough for him to live on for many days!
"Hey, my husband is talking to you! You little rascal, why are you even more of a money-grubber than Sister Sour-Sour? "Tian Sour-Sour said unhappily.
"Oh, right, right, right. I still owe you a guidebook!" Hearing Tian Sour-Sour's complaint, the little boy stopped as if he had just woken up from a dream. He casually took his backpack and placed it in front of Xiao Chen. He said cheerfully, "Cultivator hero, take whatever you want! You can take as many as you want! "
"Oh, I only need a hardcover guidebook. I don't need anything else." Xiao Chen bent down to pick up a hardcover guidebook. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked curiously, "Oh right, what's that Alliance Association you mentioned just now? It sounds awesome. What does it have to do with the Venerable Secret Realm Alliance? "
"It's related." The little boy nodded and explained logically, "The Alliance Association is a unit directly under the Venerable Secret Realm Alliance. It is also an organization formed by the large families and sects in the martial arts world. The Alliance is mainly responsible for a series of tasks when the families and sects enter the Secret Realm. The Association is responsible for the order of the docks and the overall arrangement of the merchants here."
"So complicated? They have to divide this into two? "Xiao Chen frowned and muttered," I think it's to make more money? "
"Shh … Don't talk nonsense!" The little boy immediately became nervous. He looked around and made a shushing gesture, "The Alliance Association is fine! The cultivation of us merchants is generally not high, so we are easily bullied by cultivators. There are many masters in the Alliance Association. In order to prevent this kind of situation, we are willing to pay! "
"Are you serious? There are really people who cause trouble at this docks? " Xiao Chen was a little surprised, but then he thought of the little boy's vigilant look just now. He must have experienced this kind of experience before.
"Yes, I've encountered it before … Fortunately, after the Association, this situation is much better!" The little boy spoke methodically like an adult. After he finished speaking, he even stood on his tiptoes and patted Xiao Chen's shoulder. He said in a mature tone, "But don't worry, as long as you don't mess around, they won't take the initiative to cause trouble for you!"
"Pfft …" Xiao Chen was amused again. However, seeing that this little boy came out to do business at such a young age, he must have been forced by life. Xiao Chen rubbed his hair and nodded with a smile, "Alright, thank you for telling me. I understand. I'll take this guidebook with me, for free!"
