The arrival of the uninvited guest instantly caused a change in the deal that was about to be finalized.
The man walked in with his head held high, his nose in the air, as if it were a great insult to him to look at anyone else as an equal.
The shopkeeper had originally planned to pass the Black Mist Grass to Lu Yu. When he saw the person, he immediately retracted his hand.
He originally had a professional smile on his face, but in an instant, he put on an attentive expression and jogged over from the counter.
"I was wondering why the magpies kept calling out when I woke up today. So it's because of an esteemed guest. Welcome, Steward Kang. Your presence brings light to my humble shop. "
The person who came in glanced sideways at the shopkeeper with his thin eyes. He didn't seem to care about his attentiveness.
Instead, he had an indifferent expression on his face as he said, "Shopkeeper, pack up this Black Mist Grass. Our Kang family wants it. "
"Yes, yes. Since Steward Kang has spoken, this Black Mist Grass naturally belongs to the Kang family."
The shopkeeper had a fawning smile on his face, as if he wanted to kneel down and lick his boots.
However, Steward Kang didn't appreciate it at all. He waved his hand and said impatiently, "Hurry up and pack it up. I'm not interested in your nonsense."
Although he was slapped in the face, the shopkeeper acted as if everything was natural. He nodded and bowed, personally holding the Black Mist Grass in his hands and personally placing it into a jade box. He carefully packed it up. His careful expression and actions made it seem like he was taking care of his son in swaddling clothes.
"Wait!" Lu Yu, who was at the side, finally came back to his senses. The expression on his face changed from confusion to anger, "Shopkeeper, what's going on? I obviously saw the Black Mist Grass first. Moreover, the price has already been set. Does your shop have a first come, first served rule? "
Lu Yu had never encountered such a situation in his entire life.
In his hometown, no matter where he went, because of his fame and glory, no one dared to fight with him for spiritual herbs.
There were even times when many people fought to give him spiritual herbs, but he wasn't particularly willing to accept them.
Now, he was forced to leave his hometown. Not only did he run into obstacles everywhere he went, he even lost the right to bid fairly. How could he not be angry?
Looking at Steward Kang again, he was clearly just a steward, but his extravagance was astonishing, as if he was some extraordinary dignitary.
This made Lu Yu even angrier. He was a dignified Alchemy Grandmaster, could it be that he couldn't even compare to a dog-like servant now?
The shopkeeper's face turned serious. "Friend, when you're doing business, you need to be willing. How could there be such a thing as forced buying and selling? This shopkeeper can sell this Black Mist Grass to whomever he wants. Right now, the Black Mist Grass still belongs to our shop. Since you didn't pay for it, it doesn't belong to you. You can't make the decision. Understand? "
Lu Yu was furious when she heard that.
"You're looking down on me!" Lu Yu was thoroughly enraged. She slammed the counter fiercely. "I don't believe that there aren't any rules on such a huge island! You only look at the person you're selling and you don't even follow the rules. What kind of business are you running? You should close your shop as soon as possible! "
Steward Kang obviously didn't expect that there would be someone who dared to compete with the Kang family on Cloudy Island. For a moment, a sinister smile hung at the corner of his mouth.
Surprisingly, he didn't flare up immediately. Instead, he looked at Lu Yu with a mocking gaze. He probably wanted to see what kind of background this guy, who had no discernment at all, had.
The shopkeeper was a little angry after being scolded by Lu Yu. "You're really insensible. Why don't you take a piss and look at your own reflection? Do you think you're qualified to compete with Steward Kang? "
Steward Kang clicked his tongue. "No, no, no. You're not competing with me. You're competing with Third Young Master Kang. There aren't many people on Cloudy Island who dare to challenge our Third Young Master Kang. Friend, your courage is commendable! "
Everyone could hear the obvious sarcasm in this fellow's tone.
Lu Yu had obviously been irritated by too many setbacks along the way. Her anger completely erupted. "I don't care if you're Third Young Master Kang or Fourth Young Master Kang. What does it have to do with me? I saw this Dark Mist Grass first and agreed on it first. You have to sell it to me! Even if the God of Heaven is here, it won't do! "
Qin Yi, who was standing at the side, also knew that this Steward Kang definitely had some background. One had to look at the owner before beating a dog. Steward Kang was obviously a wretched man who was nothing to worry about. At best, he was a steward who used his connections to intimidate others. However, the owner behind him was definitely not an ordinary person on Cloudy Island.
Otherwise, this Steward Kang wouldn't be so arrogant and the shopkeeper wouldn't be so shameless as to lick his boots.
Of course, Qin Yi knew that Lu Yu was a tough nut to crack, but he didn't open his mouth to persuade him.
From Lu Yu's behavior, it could be seen that when it came to the Rejuvenation Pill, Lu Yu's stubbornness couldn't be changed even by nine bulls.
The Dark Mist Grass was one of the most important ingredients for the Rejuvenation Pill. To Lu Yu, it was something he would definitely obtain even if he had to risk his life.
Great Steward Kang's face turned extremely unsightly.
His already small eyes narrowed into slits as he sized up Lu Yu with a sinister look.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. This Kang has really broadened my horizons. There aren't many people with such guts on Cloudy Island. You're an outsider, aren't you? "
"You don't need to worry about where I'm from. I just want to ask you, do you know the rules of doing business? Do you need me to teach you basic common sense like first come, first served? "Lu Yu didn't back down.
"Rules?" Steward Kang couldn't help but laugh. "You're an outsider, and you want to teach me rules on Cloudy Island? Are you sure your brain isn't stuck in a door? Or do you need me to popularize common sense on Cloudy Island? Tell me, what's the background of the Kang family? "
Lu Yu waved his hand impatiently. "Who cares about your Kang family? I'm also telling you, this Dark Mist Grass is mine. "
With that, Lu Yu threw out two hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones. With a snap of his hand, he snatched the jade box containing the Dark Mist Grass.
The shopkeeper obviously didn't expect Lu Yu to be so rude. He didn't play by the rules at all. He loosened his grip and the jade box fell into Lu Yu's hand. The shopkeeper was dumbfounded.
Obviously, he had never encountered such a situation in his entire life of doing business.
Lu Yu chuckled. "You can count the spirit stones yourself. Goodbye!"
Qin Yi obviously didn't expect Lu Yu to have such an outstanding side to him. He was both angry and amused at the same time. This guy is really a troublemaker. But he didn't hesitate and followed Lu Yu out with large strides.
It wasn't until they reached the main street that the shopkeeper and Steward Kang came to their senses.
