Jiang Chen shook his head, smiling. Ji Ruxue was still an inexperienced little

girl.

The shop manager was smart enough to see through her from the way she

acted.

Then, he started to recommend her the furnace that was good enough for the

“future great alchemist”. It was the furnace placed deep inside.

It was purple, much smaller than the others. Its extremely smooth outline did

make it stand out from the other furnaces.

“This rose gold furnace is designed by Master Tao. It’s made of…” the shop

manager kept talking about how great this furnace was.

“Sis.”

Ji Ruxue was really tempted, but she didn’t know whether she could buy it,

since it would depend on Ji Yinyi.

“How much does it cost?” Ji Yinyi asked.

The shop manager told them a price. Frowning tightly at him, Ji Yinyi said

coldly, “If I find this price is unreasonably high when I go back, I’ll come back

to destroy your business and kill you.”

“My client, what are you talking about? I’m a businessman. I never cheat my

customers.”

He waited for a while, and then said with a smile, “If miss you really like it, I

can give you a 50% discount.”

Ji Yinyi snorted. She felt disdainful for such a businessman.

“Young Master Wind, what do you think?”

When Ji Yinyi was about to pay, it suddenly occurred to her that since Jiang

Chen and she were playing a couple, it didn’t seem normal if she didn’t ask for

his opinion.

“Don’t buy it,” Jiang Chen said honestly.

The shop manager was obviously embarrassed. Ji Ruxue, really expectant,

also pulled a long face.

“Oh? Why is that?” Ji Yinyi said out of curiosity.

“The Elixir Association must have furnaces prepared. Besides, our sis won’t

have any chance to use this rose gold furnace. And most importantly, it’s

showy but not practical,” Jiang Chen said.

The two women recalled what Jiang Chen had told them. They figured maybe

he was really an expert.

“My client, whatever you say, I won’t argue with you. However, if you think it’s

showy but not practical, I have to say you really don’t have an eye for it,” the

shop manager said.

“Well, if you say so.”

Jiang Chen didn’t have the time to waste on such a person. He turned around

to leave.

His reaction was beyond the shop manager’s expectation. He hurried to stop

Jiang Chen. He said unhappily, “You’ve asked so many questions. Now you

are telling me you won’t buy it?”

“So?”

Before Jiang Chen could speak, Ji Yinyi threw the shop manager an unkind

look.

“According to the local rule, if you inquire about my stuff, but decide not to buy

it, you will have to pay 10% of the price as the inquiry fee.”

“Did you invent the rule just now?” Ji Ruxue said disdainfully.

“You can ask around if you don’t believe me. The whole street knows this is

my rule.”

Although he knew there were Venerables among the three, he wasn’t afraid at

all.

“What if I don’t pay the 10% to you?” Ji Yinyi asked.

“Don’t stare at me like this. I’m just the manager. I’m not the owner. My boss

isn’t scared of any Celestial Venerables,” the shop manager said, smiling.

“Sis.”

Ji Ruxue didn’t want to make trouble. She was afraid it would interfere with

her chance to join the Elixir Association.

Seeing Ji Yinyi not speak, the manager said, “My client, if you don’t want to

pay the 10%, why don’t you just buy it? It’s the perfect solution, isn’t it? If

someone doesn’t want to spend the money for you, just ignore him.”

“I’m not going to pay you anything! If you reach out to stop me, I’ll cut down

your hand. If you stand in my way, I’ll cut your body in half!”

To his surprise, Ji Yinyi said coldly, scowling.

The manager was given a scare. He hurried to go back into the shop and hit

the table hard.

Only a few seconds later, a large group of people appeared from the left and

the right side of the street. They approached and surrounded Jiang Chen and

the two women.

“Manager Tang, what’s going on?” someone said.

“They inquired about the furnace, but are not going to buy it. And they

threatened to kill me,” the manager said in anger.

“You don’t know the rules here? Which desolate land are you from?!”

Obviously, it wasn’t the first time the shop had done this. Otherwise these

people wouldn’t have come so fast.

“What can a mob change by shouting here?!” Ji Yinyi said disdainfully.

Then she walked ahead immediately.

There were Spiritual Venerables among those people, but of course they were

small before a Celestial Venerable.

Seeing Ji Yinyi so aggressive, these hooligan-like practicers retreated

involuntarily.

“Did you just call my friends mob?”

At this moment, a man over six feet six inches tall appeared from nowhere.

Both Ji Yinyi and Jiang Chen were surprised by his sudden appearance, since

there was no way they had failed to notice such a tall man.

“Jiang Chen, you caused all this. Don’t you wanna say something?” Ji Ruxue

said.

She had been unhappy with Jiang Chen, because he was the reason that she

couldn’t get the rose gold furnace. By then the situation had worsened to that

extent, but Jiang Chen just stayed silent. She felt even more annoyed by him.

Jiang Chen felt there was something strange, but he had to come forward first

because of what Ji Ruxue had said.

“Are you forcing us to buy your stuff?” he said.

“Are we?” The tall Celestial Venerable found it funny.

Despite his aggressive look, Jiang Chen gave him a stare. He said, “Well, I’m

not surprised. There is nothing to expect from Beiwang City. Even a Celestial

Venerable is doing such a low-end thing.”

His word made everyone feel complicated.

The shop manager and the tall Celestial Venerable sized up Jiang Chen,

trying to figure out who he was.

Putting his disposition aside, there was nothing noteworthy in the way he

dressed.

However, some young masters from big forces liked to dress this way in the

Three Middle Realms. They pretended they were nobody to make fun of

others.

“If you don’t want to buy it, just don’t buy it, but why did you say my stuff

wasn’t good? It’s not right. Now who else will buy it? Isn’t it normal that I

charge you 10% of the price as compensation?” the shop manager said.

“What? Are you expecting your customers to commend your stuff no matter

it’s good or bad?” Jiang Chen felt he had heard a big joke.

“I’m not expecting that. But are you really able to tell good stuff from bad

ones? Or you just don’t want to spend the money? I really doubt it.”

The manager pushed the rose gold furnace to the entrance of the shop so

that everyone could see it.

“This furnace is designed by Master Tao from the Elixir Association. I hired the

best craftsman to build it. But what did you say? Showy but not practical. I

would like to ask you how it’s showy but not practical?”

Shrugging his shoulders, Jiang Chen said, “If you don’t see how it’s showy but

not practical, it’s just a waste of time talking with you.”

“It doesn’t make sense at all!” The manager flew into a rage. His face flushed

due to anger and anxiety.

“How silvery-tongued!” The tall Celestial Venerable took a step forward, ready

to give Jiang Chen a lesson.

“Bring it on, if you want to die.”

Ji Yinyi stood in front of Jiang Chen to protect him, holding a sharp sword in

hand.

“Hold on!”

At swords' points, a youngster walked fast out of the wooden building of the

Elixir Association.

Nervous-looking, he came up to them extremely quickly.

“What’s going on?” He was sharp and well-featured, but he was neither good-

looking nor ugly. There was nothing impressive about him.

“Young Master Xuan.”

The manager and the tall Celestial Venerable showed him lots of respect.

Young Master Xuan didn’t respond to their greeting. Looking at Ji Yinyi in a

caring way, he said, “Miss Ji, didn’t I tell you to send someone to inform me of

your arrival, so that I can entertain you?”

“I’m really sorry, Young Master Xuan. I didn’t know she was your friend. Well,

let’s forget about this!”

The manager ran up to him with small quick steps to apologize to him.

Those people who had surrounded Jiang Chen and the two women also

scattered.
