Jiang Chen shook his head, smiling . Ji Ruxue was still an inexperienced little girl . The shop manager was smart enough to see through her from the way she acted . Then, he started to recommend her the furnace that was good enough for the "future great alchemist" . It was the furnace placed deep inside . It was purple, much smaller than the others . Its extremely smooth outline did make it stand out from the other furnaces . "This rose gold furnace is designed by Master Tao . It's made of . . . " the shop manager kept talking about how great this furnace was . "Sis . " Ji Ruxue was really tempted, but she didn't know whether she could buy it, since it would depend on Ji Yinyi . "How much does it cost?" Ji Yinyi asked . The shop manager told them a price . Frowning tightly at him, Ji Yinyi said coldly, "If I find this price is unreasonably high when I go back, I'll come back to destroy your business and kill you . " "My client, what are you talking about? I'm a businessman . I never cheat my customers . " He waited for a while, and then said with a smile, "If miss you really like it, I can give you a 50% discount . " Ji Yinyi snorted . She felt disdainful for such a businessman . "Young Master Wind, what do you think?" When Ji Yinyi was about to pay, it suddenly occurred to her that since Jiang Chen and she were playing a couple, it didn't seem normal if she didn't ask for his opinion . "Don't buy it," Jiang Chen said honestly . The shop manager was obviously embarrassed . Ji Ruxue, really expectant, also pulled a long face . "Oh? Why is that?" Ji Yinyi said out of curiosity .
"The Elixir Association must have furnaces prepared . Besides, our sis won't have any chance to use this rose gold furnace . And most importantly, it's showy but not practical," Jiang Chen said . The two women recalled what Jiang Chen had told them . They figured maybe he was really an expert . "My client, whatever you say, I won't argue with you . However, if you think it's showy but not practical, I have to say you really don't have an eye for it," the shop manager said . "Well, if you say so . " Jiang Chen didn't have the time to waste on such a person . He turned around to leave . His reaction was beyond the shop manager's expectation . He hurried to stop Jiang Chen . He said unhappily, "You've asked so many questions . Now you are telling me you won't buy it?" "So?" Before Jiang Chen could speak, Ji Yinyi threw the shop manager an unkind look . "According to the local rule, if you inquire about my stuff, but decide not to buy it, you will have to pay 10% of the price as the inquiry fee . " "Did you invent the rule just now?" Ji Ruxue said disdainfully . "You can ask around if you don't believe me . The whole street knows this is my rule . " Although he knew there were Venerables among the three, he wasn't afraid at
all . "What if I don't pay the 10% to you?" Ji Yinyi asked . "Don't stare at me like this . I'm just the manager . I'm not the owner . My boss isn't scared of any Celestial Venerables," the shop manager said, smiling .
"Sis . " Ji Ruxue didn't want to make trouble . She was afraid it would interfere with her chance to join the Elixir Association . Seeing Ji Yinyi not speak, the manager said, "My client, if you don't want to pay the 10%, why don't you just buy it? It's the perfect solution, isn't it? If someone doesn't want to spend the money for you, just ignore him . "
"I'm not going to pay you anything! If you reach out to stop me, I'll cut down your hand . If you stand in my way, I'll cut your body in half!" To his surprise, Ji Yinyi said coldly, scowling . The manager was given a scare . He hurried to go back into the shop and hit the table hard . Only a few seconds later, a large group of people appeared from the left and the right side of the street . They approached and surrounded Jiang Chen and
the two women . "Manager Tang, what's going on?" someone said . "They inquired about the furnace, but are not going to buy it . And they threatened to kill me," the manager said in anger . "You don't know the rules here? Which desolate land are you from?!" Obviously, it wasn't the first time the shop had done this . Otherwise these people wouldn't have come so fast . "What can a mob change by shouting here?!" Ji Yinyi said disdainfully . Then she walked ahead immediately . There were Spiritual Venerables among those people, but of course they were small before a Celestial Venerable . Seeing Ji Yinyi so aggressive, these hooligan-like practicers retreated involuntarily . "Did you just call my friends mob?" At this moment, a man over six feet six inches tall appeared from nowhere . Both Ji Yinyi and Jiang Chen were surprised by his sudden appearance, since
there was no way they had failed to notice such a tall man . "Jiang Chen, you caused all this . Don't you wanna say something?" Ji Ruxue said . She had been unhappy with Jiang Chen, because he was the reason that she couldn't get the rose gold furnace . By then the situation had worsened to that extent, but Jiang Chen just stayed silent . She felt even more annoyed by him . Jiang Chen felt there was something strange, but he had to come forward first because of what Ji Ruxue had said . "Are you forcing us to buy your stuff?" he said .
"Are we?" The tall Celestial Venerable found it funny . Despite his aggressive look, Jiang Chen gave him a stare . He said, "Well, I'm not surprised . There is nothing to expect from Beiwang City . Even a Celestial Venerable is doing such a low-end thing . " His word made everyone feel complicated . The shop manager and the tall Celestial Venerable sized up Jiang Chen, trying to figure out who he was . Putting his disposition aside, there was nothing noteworthy in the way he dressed . However, some young masters from big forces liked to dress this way in the Three Middle Realms . They pretended they were nobody to make fun of others . "If you don't want to buy it, just don't buy it, but why did you say my stuff wasn't good? It's not right . Now who else will buy it? Isn't it normal that I charge you 10% of the price as compensation?" the shop manager said . "What? Are you expecting your customers to commend your stuff no matter it's good or bad?" Jiang Chen felt he had heard a big joke . "I'm not expecting that . But are you really able to tell good stuff from bad ones? Or you just don't want to spend the money? I really doubt it . " The manager pushed the rose gold furnace to the entrance of the shop so
that everyone could see it . "This furnace is designed by Master Tao from the Elixir Association . I hired the best craftsman to build it . But what did you say? Showy but not practical . I would like to ask you how it's showy but not practical?" Shrugging his shoulders, Jiang Chen said, "If you don't see how it's showy but not practical, it's just a waste of time talking with you . " "It doesn't make sense at all!" The manager flew into a rage . His face flushed due to anger and anxiety . "How silvery-tongued!" The tall Celestial Venerable took a step forward, ready to give Jiang Chen a lesson . "Bring it on, if you want to die . " Ji Yinyi stood in front of Jiang Chen to protect him, holding a sharp sword in hand . "Hold on!"
At swords' points, a youngster walked fast out of the wooden building of the Elixir Association . Nervous-looking, he came up to them extremely quickly . "What's going on?" He was sharp and well-featured, but he was neither good- looking nor ugly . There was nothing impressive about him . "Young Master Xuan . " The manager and the tall Celestial Venerable showed him lots of respect . Young Master Xuan didn't respond to their greeting . Looking at Ji Yinyi in a caring way, he said, "Miss Ji, didn't I tell you to send someone to inform me of your arrival, so that I can entertain you?" "I'm really sorry, Young Master Xuan . I didn't know she was your friend . Well, let's forget about this!" The manager ran up to him with small quick steps to apologize to him . Those people who had surrounded Jiang Chen and the two women also scattered .
