Chapter 40: Partnership means you cheat me and I cheat you
Song Zhexia: "I also added some sugar."
Wei Jinyou: “…”
Shen Hongye: “…”
Does it make a difference?
The turtle who saw through everything secretly felt sorry for Qinghuazhai for three seconds.
Its host could have directly robbed the money, but he still gave away the title of annual membership of Qinghua Village.
A little conscience, but not much.
"Xia Xia." Shen Hongye looked at the crowd in the distance and said with some concern: "Will they think we are cheating them?"
"Don't worry, big brother."
Song Zhexia comforted him, "The brothers in Qinghua Village are simple and hospitable, and they will never think of us like this."
[Alas, partnerships are like this: you cheat me and I cheat you. Young people should get used to it.]
Noticing Wei Jinyou's solemn gaze, Song Zhexia looked straight over and winked at him.
[You keep staring at this beautiful lady, is your eye cramped?]
[Alas, no matter how pretty this beauty is, what’s the point? I still have to be admired by the guard dogs for free!]
Wei Jinyou: “…”
He looked away and pressed his thin lips indifferently.
This woman's condition is really getting out of control.
"That's good." Shen Hongye breathed a sigh of relief and added, "But since we are partners, we must be honest with each other and help each other."
Song Zhexia nodded, "Don't worry, Senior Brother, I know what I'm doing. Since I've agreed to cooperate with them, I will definitely fulfill my promise in the future."
"We are doing business, so we must not trample on our bottom line!"
Hearing this, Shen Hongye asked curiously: "What is your bottom line?"
Song Zhexia smiled mysteriously, "The secret cannot be revealed."
[I haven’t thought about it yet.]
Wei Jinyou: “…”
After chatting for a while, Shen Hongye was holding a shovel and preparing to start digging when a familiar figure ran towards him, "Big Brother!"
Song Zhexia and Shen Hongye looked up at the same time and saw Hu Luwa carrying Ye Ye and running towards them.
When he saw Song Zhexia, Ye Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, and even his voice became a little gentler. He waved at her and said, "Xia Xia, you are here too!"
Wei Jinyou looked at him, then at Song Zhexia, with the corners of his mouth raised coldly.
Song Zhexia didn't pay attention to him. He looked at Ye Ye and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"People from Luoyun Sect are here, saying they want to buy our flint!" Ye Ye said, "Elder Li Huan is talking to their leader in the meeting hall right now!"
Hearing this, Shen Hongye's expression became more serious and he asked, "How did they know that we have flint?"
The others all shook their heads, "I don't know."
When they didn't notice, Song Zhexia's mouth corners curled up randomly.
[Of course I was the one who leaked it, haha.]
[I worked so hard to dig up so much, how can I hide it? I have to make them jealous!]
Wei Jinyou: “…”
It’s really not a big deal to watch the excitement.
After thinking for a while, Shen Hongye put down his beloved shovel and said to everyone, "Let's go back and take a look."
...
The meeting hall.
Elder Li Huan sat in the main seat, looking at the jade-white teacup in his hand, his graying eyebrows wrinkled.
The middle-aged man sitting opposite him was wearing a dark brown robe and a silver crown on his head. His jet-black hair was meticulously groomed, revealing his full forehead.
This person is none other than the current leader of Luoyun Sect—Nan Wuyan.
He clasped his hands together and placed them on his thighs. Seeing that Elder Li Huan didn't say anything, he said with a fake smile, "Li Huan, we are all neighbors, so there's no need to be so formal, right?"
Elder Li Huan sneered, "Someone seemed to have said something different before."
He imitated Nan Wuyan's tone and said, "I wonder who said in the past that the people living in Qianqiu Pavilion are a bunch of shameful people who are not worthy of being on the stage, and also said that our disciples maliciously harmed the people of your Luoyun Sect?"
"what?!"
Nan Wuyan slammed the table and pretended to be angry, "How can someone say such a thing?"
He shouted, "If anyone dares to say that Qianqiu Pavilion is not good in the future, I will be the first to stand up and oppose it!"
Elder Li Huan rolled his eyes at him and said nothing more.
Nan Wuyan was afraid that the atmosphere would become cold, so he laughed dryly and got straight to the point, "By the way, I have another question, how are you going to sell the flint in your sect?"
He had a smile on his face, but he was extremely nervous in his heart.
The Qianqiu Pavilion is so poor that even the hilltops are bald, and the elders and disciples are a bunch of scoundrels. They finally caught me, a wronged person, to buy flint, so they will definitely ask for a very high price!
After hearing his words, Elder Li Huan was quite calm, "The flint was brought back by our sect's disciples from outside. How to sell it depends on her ideas."
"That makes sense." Nan Wuyan continued to flatter him, "But I don't know when your disciple will come back?"
Almost at the same time, a soft and pleasant female voice came from the door, "I'm back."
Nan Wuyan quickly raised his eyes and looked towards the door.
When he saw Song Zhexia's innocent and harmless face, the smile in the corners of his eyes deepened.
With just this little girl, I can definitely control her easily!
As soon as Song Zhexia sat down, she heard Nan Wuyan's laughter, "You Qianqiu Pavilion is really full of talented people. Even the female cultivators in the sect are so beautiful!"
After hearing his praise, Song Zhexia lowered her head shyly, "Thank you, Master Nanwu, for your praise."
Nan Wuyan almost laughed out loud when he saw her shy look.
Qianqiu Pavilion is really nice, giving me such a soft persimmon for free!
He was completely relieved, so he got straight to the point and said, "I see it's getting late, so just tell me straight."
Nan Wuyan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I want to buy ten carts of flint from you, but I don't have many spirit stones with me today, so I'll pay ten taels of spirit stones as a deposit first, and then pay the balance after I get the goods. What do you think, my friend?"
"This..." Song Zhexia looked at him in embarrassment, and said in a wronged tone: "The deposit for ten carts of flint is only ten taels of spirit stones, which may not be too little."
Nan Wuyan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile that coaxed a child, "Ah, this is how transactions in our Luoyun Sect have always been done."
"Besides, we have to try it out first to know whether your flint is good or not. What if we spend money to buy it and then find out that the flint is unusable?"
"But, but..." Song Zhexia looked very nervous, and his voice became smaller and smaller, "You can't wait until we get the goods before paying us the balance."
"What are you afraid of? Our Luoyun Sect is a big sect after all. Are you sure you will run away?" Nan Wuyan asked back.
Seeing that Song Zhexia was completely silent, he raised his chin proudly, "Don't you think so, Elder Li Huan?"
