Chapter 291: Chapter 291

If they sold at this price, wouldn't that be a loss? Would anyone do business ? Obviously not, merchants would never do this.

There must be a conspiracy, there must be something fishy here.

Could it be that this Wu Kingdom silk was fake? Or was this little girl a shill?

Everyone's eyes were filled with suspicion as they watched Xiaoyao cut the silk the little girl had chosen and give it to her. Some people gathered around, wanting to confirm their suspicions.

They touched the silk, the texture was smooth as water. This kind of fabric, even if it wasn't Wu Kingdom silk, wouldn't be far off. It was definitely top quality.

This meant the item probably wasn't fake, because there was no need to tell such a lie.

Then the answer seemed to be the other possibility, this little girl was a shill.

Soon, this answer was also overturned, because someone recognized the little girl. They knew whose child she was. She had come here to buy things, and had never met the silk-selling young man before. Her mother could guarantee this one hundred percent.

Since that was the case, what were they waiting for? Hurry up and buy this silk. Maybe they could get the same bargain as the little girl, then they'd strike it rich.

"You name a price. I'll sell if I like it."

Xiaoyao still gave the same response. He said the same thing to everyone. Some people had their offers rejected no matter how much they bid, while others bought something for just a small amount.

This made people suspect that Xiaoyao wasn't a merchant at all, but some rich young master playing this game. Only a rich young master could afford to play such a game.

Moreover, Xiaoyao's words and actions were generous and proper, with an air of indifference about him. This made people even more convinced he was that type of young master. Many important people had come to Qingyun City recently, he was probably one of them.

So even more people came to buy Xiaoyao's silk, because not taking advantage of such a bargain would make them idiots.

"Move aside, move aside. Don't block the way."

When this voice rang out, initially no one paid attention. Everyone wanted to get a bargain now, why should they make way for you? But soon everyone was attracted by the owner of this voice.

This was a very seductive woman who looked about twenty-five or twenty-six, wearing tight-fitting clothes that showed off her explosive figure.

"This Wu Kingdom silk is so beautiful. Brother Tiao, I want this."

The seductive woman hugged a young master's arm and spoke coquettishly. This young master looked somewhat younger than her. Thɪs chapter is updated by novèlfire.net

"As long as you like it, I could even pluck the moon from the sky for you. Boy, how much for this fabric?" The young master first showed a tender expression toward the young woman, but became incredibly arrogant toward Xiaoyao, acting like a spoiled rich brat.

"Name your own price. I'll give it if I like it." Xiaoyao replied casually, still saying roughly the same thing, treating everyone equally.

"Name my own price? Interesting. Then I'll buy all the rest you have here. How about one hundred taels." The young master raised his chin slightly, a proud smile appearing at the corner of his mouth as he looked down on Xiaoyao, this small merchant.

The surrounding people all gasped when they heard this price. At this point, Xiaoyao had about half his silk left, and this price was more than double the market rate. Even if what Xiaoyao had sold before was given away for free, this transaction alone would earn quite a profit, even more than expected.

So at this moment, almost everyone thought Xiaoyao would sell his goods. The young master was especially confident, this price was sufficient to make such a small merchant immediately hand over everything.

However, everyone was wrong. Xiaoyao didn't agree. Instead, he looked at the young master and replied indifferently, "I don't really price. Name another one."

"No way, he actually refused?"

The people nearby immediately erupted. This result left them unable to adapt for a moment, feeling it was quite unexpected. But thinking about it carefully, it was reasonable.

This young man before them could casually sell at low prices before, he was probably treating this as a game. If he didn't like something, naturally he would refuse.

"What do you mean? One hundred taels is enough to buy twice what you have in your hands. I'm no amateur, I've handled this kind of goods countless times." The young master snorted coldly.

From his tone, this young master seemed to have some involvement in commerce. The price he quoted also considered the original value. To show off in front of that seductive woman, he had offered this price.

"You needn't concern yourself with that. These goods are mine. I can sell them at whatever price I like. If you don't like it, please go elsewhere." Xiaoyao replied indifferently.

"Don't you know how to do business? Who would buy ." the young master snorted coldly.

"You needn't concern yourself with that either. Those who like it will buy, willing fish take the bait." Xiaoyao replied with a smile.

"You..." The young master's face darkened. He wanted to say something but couldn't find the words. After all, these were the other person's goods, he could do whatever he wanted with them.

"Brother Tiao, I really ..." The seductive woman spoke in an extremely sweet voice, shaking the young master's arm coquettishly.

"Alright, alright, I'll buy it. Don't like it, eh? Don't you just want money? Fine, I'll offer two hundred taels. Is that enough?." The young master gritted his teeth and named an even more shocking price.

Two hundred taels of silver, ordinary people might not earn this much in their entire lifetime. This young master was very wealthy, and very wasteful.

At this point, people began discussing the young man's identity. No one seemed to know him, so the conclusion was that this young master must be from elsewhere, possibly one of the people who had come recently for the conference.

"Still don't like it. Please make another offer." Xiaoyao shook his head.

"Don't go too far. I am the Seventh Young Master of the Miao family from the Xia Commerce Empire, Miao Tiao. Do you know the Miao family?" The young master, namely Miao Tiao, said.

"I know them. The Miao family is a commercial clan with business throughout the entire continent. So what?" Xiaoyao replied while asking back.

Ah, so the Miao family has such background, business throughout the entire continent. No wonder they're so wealthy. There really have been many important people coming here recently.

The nearby people began discussing again. Most of them only knew about affairs within the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, or even just Qingyun Province. They rarely saw such important figures.

After all, to outsiders, Qingyun City was just a small place.

Sometimes Xiaoyao wondered why such a small place would attract the attention of the Nangong family. Nangong Suxin's family settling here was quite suspicious.

Of course, this was just suspicion. Maybe they wanted to live in seclusion. So Xiaoyao only thought about it briefly before abandoning the idea.

Getting back to the point, after Xiaoyao's question, Miao Tiao immediately said proudly, "So what? Since you know the Miao family, you should know that having good relations with our Miao family is a tremendous blessing for a small merchant like you. When the time comes, becoming wealthy beyond measure won't be a problem."

"That's probably true, but I don't need this blessing. After I finish selling these, I'm going home to farm." Xiaoyao said nonchalantly.

Going home to farm...

This boy was really interesting. He didn't want such great benefits and said he wanted to go home and farm. This was clearly a rejection, and such an annoying one at that.

"Are you mentally ill?" Miao Tiao looked at Xiaoyao and asked somewhat suspiciously.

Would a normal person refuse such benefits and want to go home to farm? Obviously impossible.

"I had qi deviation before that burned my brain. Do you have medicine?" Xiaoyao replied with a line that made the entire scene completely quiet, you could hear a pin drop.

This boy was too amusing.

"However much you want to take, I have that much." Miao Tiao said coldly.

"However much you have, I'll take that much." Xiaoyao said with a smile.

"However much you want, I'll give that much."

Suddenly, the two entered a loop. The nearby people couldn't help laughing anymore. Were these two here to perform crosstalk?

"Brother Tiao, don't argue anymore. This person's brain must have problems. Just offer more money." The seductive woman grabbed Miao Tiao and said.

"Fine, I'll listen to Sister Yinwu. Boy, I'll add another hundred taels, three hundred taels for your goods." Miao Tiao first patted that "Sister" Yinwu, then said to Xiaoyao, "Isn't it just silver? This young master has plenty."

Although everyone thought this price was very high, because of the previous two rejections, they subconsciously thought Xiaoyao would still refuse. Unexpectedly—

"Although I still don't really number, I do like the silver a bit. Let's do it this way, give me three hundred taels and everything here is yours." Xiaoyao seemed to reluctantly accept this deal.

Damn, how shameless. We thought you'd continue your style, not liking it means not liking it. Now you're bending over for money. How contemptible.

At this moment, almost everyone looked at Xiaoyao with some contempt, feeling his behavior was hypocritical.

"So you're selling?" Miao Tiao seemed unable to react, looking at Xiaoyao questioningly.

"Of course I'm selling. I'm a merchant, there's no reason to have trouble with money." Xiaoyao said quite shamelessly, without blushing or his heart racing, as if the "don't like it" he said before wasn't from him at all.

"Just now you said you didn't..."

Many people whispered privately, but felt this was quite normal. After all, he was a merchant. Xiaoyao had already sold quite a bit at a loss before, earning a profit now was normal. Not taking advantage of such a sucker would be stupid.
