Chapter 34.2
“Young Master Li, what you’re holding is a sea treasure. It’s made of clams used for centuries, good quality, and reasonably priced,” the waiter told Li Tianyan, who held a white vessel.
“How much?” Li Tianyan, not expecting affordability, asked casually.
“This is only 50,000 taels, and you also get a hairpin of the same material,” the clerk promptly replied.
In fact, there were many shell-like objects in foreign lands. Although they were made of semi-spiritual materials, their appearances were different each of it. By simply sending them, they became rarities.
This price made Li Tianyan breathed a sigh of relief. He noticed that the sea shell vessel in his hand emitted a spiritual light. It should be a sea creature that was nearly a thousand years old, just one step away from reaching the spiritual weapon level. However, the price was lower than the previous one. Stones were several times cheaper, but this guy really didn’t know what he was selling.
“Li Tianyan, why are you here?”@@@@
When Cheng Si heard the waiter called someone Young Master Li, she thought it was the eldest young master of the Li family. Unexpectedly, when she turned around and saw Li Tianyan.
Cheng Qi was a little disappointed. Then, with a haughty look, she said, “The treasure in your hand is a foreign product and is not cheap. If you can’t afford it, you better not touch it casually to avoid breaking it.”
“Thank you, Young Lady Cheng, for the reminder. This Li will be careful.” Li Tianyan smiled calmly but still had no intention of putting the things down. He turned to the waiter and said, “You said I could get a hairpin. Let me take a look.”
His talisman pen happened to be fine, but it could be improved. Li Tianyan continued to look at other things with this thought. This treasure only cost 50,000 taels, so he could pick something for the little shuanger.
“Here is it Young Master Li, the hairpin. You can take a look at it.” The waiter quickly took the hairpin and handed it to Li Tianyan.
Cheng Qi looked at the white jade-like dagger in the waiter’s hand and nodded honestly, “I like it.”
“How much does this dagger cost?” Li Tianyan inquired with the waiter.
“The dagger is not expensive, only twenty-five thousand taels,” the man said quickly.
Cheng Si observed Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi’s intimate behavior. Li Tianyan even jokingly threatened to buy a semi-spiritual weapon for Cheng Qi. Despite knowing he couldn’t afford it, Cheng Si felt uneasy.
Li Tianyan waited for the clerk to finish reporting the price before saying, “I just heard from the shopkeeper that Young Master Mu get a discount for buying that sword. I should get one if I’m buying so much, right?”
The shopkeeper was also surprised this time. Li Tianyan seemed to be really buying these items. Realizing this, his expression immediately changed, “Young Master Li is a frequent visitor to Laibao Pavilion. Of course, there is a discount. I’ll charge you 71,200 taels for two pieces. What do you think of having the hairpin for free?”
“This hairpin was originally given as a gift. I bought a dagger with the sea treasure. Let’s make it a round number of 70,000 taels.” Li Tianyan knew in his heart that this so-called thing from the outside world was very popular, and Laibao Pavilion would definitely make a substantial profit.
The shopkeeper was still a little hesitant, but Li Tianyan made a move to put the things back, he gritted his teeth and said, “Okay, for Young Master Li’s sake, I will charge you 70,000 taels.”
Mu Nanfeng saw him suddenly talking to Li Tianyan. He thought the shopkeeper would raise the price and Li Tianyan would use this as an excuse not to buy. But the shopkeeper actually agreeing to lower the price.
Mu Nanfeng thought Li Tianyan wouldn’t be able to pay it, this way it would be even more embarrassing.
Unexpectedly, Li Tianyan directly handed the things to Cheng Qi beside him, took out a large stack of banknotes from his pocket, and counted them one by one in his hand. Several people in the store suddenly felt that Li Tianyan looked like he deserved a beating. His arrogance seems a bit excessive.
