Chapter 736: Chapter 736: Baiting the Fish_1

"Sis, you can’t always look down on me! Just believe me this once. If you don’t, I’ll show you the chat record; it’s definitely true."

Bei Tang Shao Hui pulled out a mouse again, opened the private chat record of the Nine Heavens Dark Web, and showed Bei Tang Qi Meng the chat content between him and Su Chengyu.

Bei Tang Qi Meng was thrilled when she saw the video sent by Su Chengyu, "It really is the Bone Washing Grass. Obtaining it means we’re only missing Three-flower Purple Heart Orchids. You’ve done well this time. However, the other party is quite greedy and demanding too much. Such people shouldn’t be agreed to easily as they’ll just keep raising the price."

"That’s what I thought too, so I ignored him yesterday. Sis, no matter what, we have to obtain the Bone Washing Grass. Bei Tang Qian Xiao found the recipe for the Pill of Tribulation. If they gather the ingredients, their side will get too much recognition and attention. They’ll certainly receive even more rewards and support from the elders, effectively sideline our faction and leaving us nowhere to stand."

Bei Tang Shao Hui said earnestly.

Bei Tang Qi Meng sat down, her slender fingers tapping the desktop, "You’re right, we can’t let them reap all the benefits. Maintain contact with the other party. I’ll discuss this with our father. We need to finalize this as soon as possible to avoid potential predicaments."

After saying this, Bei Tang Qi Meng stood up and left Bei Tang Shao Hui’s residence.

The Beitang family’s internal competition was fierce. As per the family tradition, the position of the family head needs to be changed every 60 years. Therefore, even a Land Immortal can only serve as the family head for 60 years before stepping down.

Even though the head of the Beitang family is not yet 60 years old, he announced during the last family meeting that he would be stepping down soon. The next family meeting would elect the new head. This has fueled the internal disputes within the Beitang family.

The family head is the most influential person. Although the elder council can remove the family head, it requires the head to make a major mistake and more than two-thirds of the elders to agree. Otherwise, it’s impossible.

Most of the time, the elders are engaged in closed-door cultivation and do not interfere in family affairs. So, the head of the Beitang family is essentially the most powerful person in the five northern provinces.

Therefore, the competition for this position is very fierce. Now that the Beitang family is facing a major issue, it’s the ideal time for the potential family heads to prove themselves. Whoever solves the family’s problem at this time will secure the position as the family head.

The father of Bei Tang Qi Meng and Bei Tang Shao Hui is one of the candidates for the head, and his reputation and strength are among the top.

In Lin Jiang’s Su Mansion, Su Chengyu was holding the Bone Washing Grass. Now that he had clues about the Dark Sea Black Stone, he wasn’t as anxious. Now he was considering how he can secure the transaction after the terms are finalized.

Those who can use dark tactics must have been to the extreme North Dark Sea. The power that has the courage and strength to venture into the North Dark Sea is immense. What if they don’t follow the rules and kill me during the transaction?

With the help of the Heaven-Mending Stone, it would be hard for Su Chengyu to resist such a large force.

Fang Qing moved directly into Villa No.1, and Liu Yan did not want to be outdone. As Su Chengyu’s woman, it was reasonable for her to move in. The competition between the two women was gradually intensifying, and neither was willing to admit defeat.

At nightfall, three women and a man were sitting at the dinner table in the Su Mansion. Fang Qing and Liu Yan sat on either side of Su Chengyu, while Yu Yanshu sat opposite them.

Yu Yanshu quickly grabbed some food into her bowl and was ready to slip away with her bowl.

"Yan’er, where are you going?" Su Chengyu asked.

"Master, I’m going to the living room to eat," answered Yu Yanshu.

"Sit down! Enjoy your meal. Is the living room a place to eat? You should have a few drinks with them. I’m going back to my room to practice."

Su Chengyu returned to his room, logged into the Nine Heavens Dark Web again, and found the other party had sent several private messages suggesting the terms of the trade could still be negotiated.

The other party proposed to trade the North Dark Sea Black Stone, a hundred top-quality Heavenly Pills, a lower quality Divine Artifact, and a Demon King Inner Pill and claimed that this was their maximum sincerity.

Su Chengyu was surprised by the terms of trade proposed by the other party. He initially intended to ask for a larger offer, so there would be room for negotiation. The trade deal includes the North Dark Sea Black Stone, an excellent Spiritual Artifact, a Demon General’s Inner Pill, and fifty top-quality Heavenly Pills.

The other party appeared to be more generous than Su Chengyu had imagined.

"Deal." Su Chengyu typed these two words in response.

The trade conditions were quite generous, and Su Chengyu felt like he had struck a great deal. Although the Bone Washing Grass is precious, its value at most equals a lower quality Divine Artifact.

At the Beitang mansion, Bei Tang Shao Hui had been waiting for a reply in front of his computer for several hours. The lack of a response even by nightfall infuriated him, and he couldn’t help but curse out loud.

"Calm down. The other party is deliberately keeping you on the line. The more anxious you are, the more they will ask for," Bei Tang Qi Meng calmly advised, sitting across from him.

"Sis, do we really want to give him all these things? The other side is obviously taking advantage of our desperation. I’m furious!" Bei Tang Shao Hui expressed his resentment. He felt wronged and was extremely aggrieved.

"No matter what, we have to get the Bone Washing Grass. As for the terms of trade, it depends on whether they have the life to take it away. If they dare to be greedy, they better have the power of a lion. Otherwise, they’re courting death."

Bei Tang Qi Meng’s beautiful eyes were filled with coldness, and her icy voice carried undisguised killing intent.

"Yes! When it comes to trading, we can just obtain the Bone Washing Grass and kill him. If that’s the case, why don’t we just agree with what he asked for, and why did you ask me to bargain with him?" Bei Tang Shao Hui wondered.

"Saying you’re stupid, you really never think? If we readily agree, the other party will definitely be on their guard. Bargaining shows we are serious about the trade. The terms of the trade are just bait. Fishing is a technical job. Too little bait won’t catch a big fish, and too much bait will also ruin things. Do you understand?"

After hearing Bei Tang Qi Meng’s explanation, Bei Tang Shao Hui’s eyes brightened. He finally understood and replied, "Sis, you’re smart and thoughtful. I’m glad that I told you about this. Otherwise, I might have screwed up."

Just as Bei Tang Shao Hui finished speaking, a notification sound came from the computer. He excitedly announced, "The other party has replied."
