Chapter 762: Chapter 479 Assistance from an Older Brother_2

"This is a pawn shop, and I’m naturally here to pawn some items."

"Pawn items..."

Hua Hong slightly furrowed his brows, but then relaxed, huffing, "Hmph, Lou Ji took all your money, are you here to hit me up for more?"

While speaking,

Hua Hong grumpily pulled out several silver notes of one hundred taels from his bosom and tossed them on the table:

"That’s all I have, not a tael more."

"....."

After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan’s expression became solemn:

"Old man Hua, I’m serious."

Hua Hong’s expression grew even more serious:

"I am serious too."

"....." Xu Yuan.

The prejudices in people’s hearts are indeed a mountain to overcome.

Thinking this, Xu Yuan leaned back in his chair, propped up his legs, and casually took out a Cultivation Technique from the Sumeru Ring and threw it on the table:

"Since you don’t believe me, why don’t you take a look at this Cultivation Technique first?"

Hua Hong glanced at the bratty demeanor of the boy opposite him, casually picked up the paper Cultivation Technique, flipped through a few pages, and then his gaze sharpened as he looked at Xu Yuan:

"Changtian, where did you get this Cultivation Technique from?"

"Picked it up."

"I’m serious."

"So am I."

"...."

Hua Hong’s eyes held a trace of annoyance as he put the Cultivation Technique away in the Sumeru Ring and said softly,

"If you don’t want to say, forget it. This is a nice Cultivation Technique, I’ll take it for thirty thousand taels."

Having said that, he threw three Precious Notes of ten thousand taels each in front of Xu Yuan, and then silently took back the hundred-tael notes he had previously thrown out.

Seeing the stingy old man’s action, Xu Yuan was not surprised, glanced at the three Precious Notes in front of him without any sign of eagerness, and asked with a smile,

"Old man Hua, are you trying to force a sale again?"

Hua Hong’s face remained impassive as he made up an excuse,

"Although your Cultivation Technique has some merit, it could only be ranked as Grade B at best, not yet reaching Grade A, so thirty thousand taels is a very high price."

"Alright then."

Seeing this, Xu Yuan grinned and promptly picked up the Precious Notes in front of him, ready to turn around and leave.

Hua Hong showed a flicker of confusion in his eyes.

This kid has never been one to suffer losses since he was young.

Back in the day, before Xu Yuan even began to cultivate, he dared to risk his life fighting with him, a Primordial expert, over a few thousand taels of New Year’s money, so why is he acting so calm now that his cultivation has improved?

"Wait a minute," Hua Hong suddenly said.

"Hmm?" Xu Yuan.

"What exactly are you up to, kid?"

"What am I up to?"

Xu Yuan half-turned, his eyes crinkling with a smile as he said, "Since you old man can’t appreciate the good stuff, then I’ll just have to go to another pawn shop and see if they can."

At that, Hua Hong’s eyes widened:

"You little bastard, that’s breaking the rules! Selling a Cultivation Technique to multiple buyers will get you killed!"

"Ah...."

Xu Yuan opened his mouth, blinking at Hua Hong with a hint of surprise: "Are you saying you’re going to have me killed, Old Master Hua?"

"....."

Hua Hong’s cheeks twitched, his previously relaxed fist slowly tensing.

Sensing the tension, Xu Yuan immediately laughed and said,

"Old Master Hua, I was just joking; I know my limits."

Hua Hong stood up and slowly approached Xu Yuan:

"You don’t know anything, every time you cause trouble outside, I have to clean up after you!"

Xu Yuan looked straight ahead, seemingly unaware of the imminent beating, and said with a chuckle,

"It’s just a Cultivation Technique,

"Besides, who told you I only have one Cultivation Technique?"

"......." Hua Hong stopped in his tracks.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan immediately waved his hand, speaking softly,

"If you can’t appreciate what’s good, I naturally have to check with other commerce assemblies to see if they can."

As he finished speaking, Xu Yuan turned to push the door, but found that the seemingly flimsy wooden door now felt as heavy as a mountain.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan quickly turned back and swore under his breath,

"Old man Hua, you are playing dirty now, huh?"

"Eh, Changtian, what do you mean by that?"

With the shadow gone from his face, Hua Hong smiled cheerfully, not minding Xu Yuan’s way of addressing him: "As the son of Xu Yinhe, you should naturally consider our Tian’an Commerce Assembly first when you have something good."

While saying this, Hua Hong walked over to Xu Yuan and forcefully pulled him back to sit down at the desk with his wrinkled palms.

Sitting down again,

Xu Yuan stared expressionlessly at the stingy old man opposite him.

Hua Hong had a loving smile, his voice very gentle:

"Changtian, let’s talk frankly behind closed doors..."

"You mean physically closing the door?"

"I just worry about you taking the wrong path. An external leak of such a Cultivation Technique wouldn’t be good for our Prime Minister’s Mansion."

"Heh."

"Let’s do this: the same type of Cultivation Technique, one hundred thousand taels a piece; I’ll take as many as you have, payment first, then delivery."

"Heh."

"Changtian, one hundred thousand taels per piece is already very high, pawned items usually discount by thirty to forty percent."

"Heh."

"Alright, a flat rate then, you grew up before my eyes, I won’t cheat you, one hundred and fifty thousand for a Cultivation Technique."

"Heh."

"Changtian, you’re being a bit unreasonable...."

"Heh..."

"Xu Changtian, if you dare ’heh’ again, do you believe I’ll beat you so bad not even Xu Yinhè will recognize you?!"

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk....."

"....." Hua Hong.

With a gentle frown, Hua Hong suppressed the urge to punch the boy across from him and sighed,

"Name your price."

Xu Yuan finally propped himself up slowly and uttered,

"Fifty thousand taels for a Cultivation Technique."

Hua Hong’s brow furrowed slightly,

"You really dare to ask for the moon, kid."
