CHAPTER 172: CHAPTER 103: JUST THE SOUL BREATH IMMORTAL GRASS, I’LL HELP YOU STEAL IT (6K)_3

But the key issue is, they have no money!

"Senior, please wait a moment!" Zhou Qing excused himself once more, quickly pulling Yan Xiaohu to the side.

Then he whispered, "Third Brother, I think we can give it a try."

Yan Xiaohu looked at Zhou Qing and said, "Are you referring to that piece of Chaos Profound Gold?"

Zhou Qing nodded, "The initial plan was for Master to come over and decide whether to bring it back to the sect or deal with it on the spot. But the danger level of the Child and Mother Scroll is too high, neither you nor I want Master to take that risk."

"Now, I think this opportunity shouldn’t be easily given up; it’s worth taking a risk."

Yan Xiaohu frowned and said, "Fourth Brother, you must know that such a large piece of Chaos Profound Gold can be worth at least seven Top-Grade Spirit Stones. I’d also like to use it to exchange for that Soul Breath Immortal Grass for Old Mo, but your safety, in particular, is the priority. When I left, I promised Master I’d take good care of you."

Zhou Qing smiled slightly, "I want to take a gamble. The other party has a large family and big businesses; they might not even care about these few Spirit Stones."

Yan Xiaohu looked serious and said, "Fourth Brother, remember one thing your senior brother tells you: never try to gamble on human nature. A lot of things are just what others want you to see."

Zhou Qing remained silent.

But soon, Yan Xiaohu patted him on the shoulder and smiled brightly.

"But this time, senior brother will gamble with you!"

[Heart Mirror Points +9]

Above Yan Xiaohu’s head, the title "God-like Junior Brother" instantly changed to "Charismatic Junior Brother."

Seeing his third senior brother, Zhou Qing couldn’t help but smile.

"Thank you, Third Brother. If anything goes wrong, I’ll use all means to ensure your safe escape!" Zhou Qing said seriously.

Yan Xiaohu almost burst into laughter but managed to hold it back, speaking telepathically instead.

"You ensure my escape? It’s more likely I’ll be the one ensuring yours. Come on, we’re just selling something; no need to act like we’re parting forever."

"If it’s meant to be, it will be. If not, don’t force it. We picked this thing up along the way, and at worst, we’ll just kneel down and give it to them for free to spare our lives. There’s nothing shameful about that."

Third Brother was always so optimistic and open-minded, which reassured Zhou Qing a lot.

Then, the two walked out.

With a wave of Zhou Qing’s hand, that dazzling Chaos Profound Gold appeared in his hand.

Since the old hen was adopted by Third Brother, he had been keeping it.

In Third Brother’s words, he had better luck, and it might bring more money.

Unexpectedly, this time not only did it not bring money, but they had to spend it.

Yet neither of them felt any pain, but rather, were filled with pride.

And upon seeing such a large piece of Chaos Profound Gold, Fu Kui was obviously stunned, full of surprise, and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Is this... Chaos Profound Gold? Where did you two get it?" Fu Kui asked.

Zhou Qing answered, "It is my Master’s heirloom, Senior. I wonder if it can be used for an exchange?"

Fu Kui burst into hearty laughter, "Not only can it be exchanged, but our auction house should pay you instead. It’s of exceptional quality, still carrying a natural fishy smell as if freshly unearthed."

"It can not only replace the Soul Breath Immortal Grass but also serve as a finale item. If you trust me, leave it with me, and I’ll come to you at this time tomorrow. How about it?"

Zhou Qing didn’t hesitate and directly handed over the Chaos Profound Gold.

Seeing this, Fu Kui’s eyes showed even more appreciation, "Such bravery. You really aren’t worried that I might take it for myself."

Zhou Qing just smiled and looked at Zhang Wanbao.

"I trust him!"

Zhang Wanbao was immediately moved, and then looked at Fu Kui.

"Master Fu, they are my good friends and even better brothers. Can we get another discount?"

Fu Kui took the Chaos Profound Gold, looked at Zhang Wanbao, and smiled, "That depends on you."

"Me?" Zhang Wanbao was puzzled.

Fu Kui, however, didn’t say more and instead said, "It’s getting late, we should go!"

After saying that, he dragged Zhang Wanbao away.

Only when their figures disappeared into the night did the two realize their backs were already soaked.

Trading with a Great Perfection expert of the Divinity Transformation Realm for the first time was, to say the least, highly risky.

After all, if they wanted to be greedy, just a finger movement could erase all traces here completely.

At least seven Top-Grade Spirit Stones could easily and secretly enter their pocket.

"That was Chaos Profound Gold!"

Qian Dafu couldn’t help but exclaim belatedly.

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu both collapsed into their chairs, scrambling to snatch water to drink, and then looked at each other, bursting into laughter.

It seemed they had bet right!

...

"So, that chubby guy is the young master of the Wanxiang Auction? And your father is the Mansion Master of Lingyun Mansion?"

In the room, Li Shitao looked utterly shocked.

To be honest, neither the previous owner of this body nor she after starting anew had any idea about their true identities.

Xiao Cancan nodded and subtly glanced at Li Shitao’s chest, then said, "I’m sorry, Sister Tao, I didn’t mean to hide it from you."

"No, no problem, I’m just happy for you having such a good background," Li Shitao immediately smiled.

She then propped her head with one hand, her hair cascading like a waterfall over her shoulder, eyes twinkling, "You’ve been here for two days, isn’t your father worried about you?"

Xiao Cancan turned slightly sideways, "He’s very busy, probably doesn’t have time. But let’s not talk about this. What do you think Zhang Wanbao means by suddenly bringing this thing?"
