CHAPTER 171: CHAPTER 103: JUST THE SOUL BREATH IMMORTAL GRASS, I’LL HELP YOU STEAL IT (6K)_2

Oh, first you tricked my son into breaking off the engagement with the Mansion Master’s daughter, completely severing the long-standing cooperation between our families. Then you directed him to steal the Nascent Soul Formation Pills, and now even the Soul Breath Immortal Grass is not safe from you.

What’s next? Are you planning to take my life too?

Zhou Qing spoke earnestly: "You don’t understand the hardships of managing a household. Never do something foolish. We indeed need this Soul Breath Immortal Grass, but we will find a way to get it ourselves."

Zhang Wanbao said, "Don’t worry, it’ll be fine. Even if I’m caught, the old man won’t do much to me. At most, he’ll lock me up in a dark room for a few days. After all, I’m his only son."

Upon hearing this, the two were at a loss for words, nearly in tears.

Why do you take everything so seriously?

"Wanbao, listen to me. Your father has it tough. Although we’ve never met, he alone supports such a big family business, busy every day managing complex interpersonal relationships. As his son, you should be helping him, not holding him back."

"And you shouldn’t take his love for granted. Do you understand me?" Zhou Qing spoke sincerely.

Yan Xiaohu also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, these two Nascent Soul Formation Pills have already helped us a lot. And according to the manual’s requirements, only Top-Grade Spirit Stones can be used for transactions. From my experience, someone must be leveraging your family’s auction to sell them."

"Your father only took a small commission. If you steal them for us, your family will have to cover the loss. Of course, I know your family isn’t short on money, but you can’t do things this way, it’s just not right!"

After hearing this, Zhang Wanbao fell silent.

Then, looking at the two of them, he showed a moved expression and suddenly stepped back to bow.

"Thank you, brothers, for your guidance. Wanbao understands now!"

Seeing this, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They were almost wrecked by this boy, luckily they reacted in time.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

At this moment, there was the sound of applause from outside the door. When they turned around, they saw an elder who had somehow appeared outside the door.

As a businessman, Qian Dafu’s face changed instantly, and he hurriedly transmitted a message to the two of them.

"It’s over, this is the steward of the Wanxiang Auction, Fu Kui, everyone respectfully calls him Elder Fu or Master Fu. His cultivation has already reached the Great Perfection of the Divinity Transformation Realm, he might even have one foot in the Spirit Severing Realm. Even the Mansion Master has to greet him courteously."

"Didn’t this young master just say he wanted to take all eight Nascent Soul Formation Pills prepared by the auction, but could only get two because he encountered this person? Turns out, he was afraid of alerting him."

Upon hearing Qian Dafu, Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu turned pale instantly.

"Master Fu——"

Seeing Fu Kui here, Zhang Wanbao felt a guilty conscience but quickly put on a simpleminded smile and ran over.

"Master Fu, how did you know I was here? Let me introduce, these are my..."

"The two brothers you know!" Fu Kui suddenly interrupted Zhang Wanbao, his face always smiling.

Then, a terrifying pressure instantly locked onto the two of them.

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu felt their throats dry as they shook their heads desperately, waving their hands furiously under the pressure.

"He was joking, we’re not familiar!" they said in unison.

Zhang Wanbao: "..."

But soon, Fu Kui laughed heartily, retracting the pressure.

"Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you. I was just ordered by the president to see what kind of friends our young master has made recently, urging him to return the engagement scroll. It seems his judgment is not bad, you’re quite decent!"

Fu Kui praised sincerely.

The two of them felt embarrassed.

They really knew nothing about the engagement scroll.

"Thank you for the compliment, Senior!" The two hurriedly bowed.

Zhang Wanbao wanted to say something, but Fu Kui raised a finger to signal him to be quiet for a moment.

Then he looked at the two and said: "Wanbao is simple-minded, he has never left Lingyun Mansion, and Xiao Cancan has grown up under our watchful eyes. What we can do is to give them the best growth environment, both people and things."

"We are very unwelcoming to those with impure intentions. Of course, this may cause them to see only bright things, but so what? At what age should one experience what, we have our considerations."

Hearing Fu Kui’s words, Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu nodded in agreement, a bit envious of Zhang Wanbao having such a protective elder.

They seemed to understand his recent naive behavior better.

After listening, Zhang Wanbao appeared thoughtful.

Fu Kui continued: "You two don’t look much older than Wanbao, yet your elders have raised you well, at least in terms of character. Wanbao is fortunate to know you."

"I have heard about everything. It has nothing to do with you, rest assured. Even regarding the Soul Breath Immortal Grass, I have some authority to handle it."

"If you need it, I can give you a discount on its behalf considering Wanbao, and trade it to you ahead of the auction. Otherwise, you might be targeted by some ill-intentioned people."

Hearing Fu Kui’s words, their eyes instantly lit up.

It must be said, this was a good opportunity, to handle it internally and avoid many unnecessary troubles later.
