Battle Through the Heavens: There Are Always Rebellious Disciples Who Want to Deceive Their Master Chapter 21

But her Little Disciple's performance had definitely put pressure on the stall owner.

That was great!

Much better than wasting money so recklessly before!!!

After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Yue finally decided to take the broken sword.

Only when she held it in her hand did she realize just how badly damaged it was!

The broken sword had been completely corroded by rust, and in some places, the rust had even eaten straight through it.

This was a broken sword with no offensive power whatsoever!

What value could a broken sword like this possibly have?

Why did she want it?

"Forget the treasure map. I just want to know how much this broken sword costs."

Xiao Yue could not even be bothered to glance at the tattered beast hide in the stall owner's hand.

As for the broken sword in her own hand, she did not particularly want to buy it either.

If the price was too outrageous, then forget it!

She could not possibly spend all her savings on a worthless broken sword, could she?

"Since you're a young girl, I don't want to deceive you. The price isn't high—just 1,000 gold coins. Once you buy it, you definitely won't regret it!"

The stall owner spoke with exceptional grandeur, as though Xiao Yue were getting a huge bargain.

Looking at his squinting face, Xiao Yue wanted nothing more than to punch him a few times.

1,000 gold coins?

He actually had the nerve to say that???

Did he even know what 1,000 gold coins meant?

If spent carefully, 1,000 gold coins would be enough for an ordinary family to live on for several years.

The entire Market's monthly revenue was probably not even 1,000 gold coins, yet the stall owner could still name such a price?

Had he lost his mind and forgotten his own worth?

Was he trying to fleece her?

Xiao Yue immediately laughed.

Before, she had not known what decision to make. Now, things were simple—she did not need to choose at all.

"Forget it!

I really can't afford 1,000 gold coins!"

Xiao Yue waved her hand, then set the broken sword back down.

She stood up, ready to leave.

"Hey, hey, don't be in such a hurry to leave!"

The stall owner's voice grew somewhat anxious.

"As long as you like it, the price is negotiable!!!"

What was with this girl? Who bought things without haggling?

Why did she leave the moment she heard the price?

Prices had to be discussed slowly!

Hearing the stall owner's words, Xiao Yue stopped.

Chapter 21: Haggling (2)

"Stall Owner, it's better to be honest when doing business. The price you named would scare customers away!"

Having been called back by the stall owner, Xiao Yue could not help saying a few words.

Could prices really be named so casually?

Who would throw around a fortune at a street stall?

Had he sold so many fakes that he really thought he was selling rare heavenly treasures?

Just because she had asked him a few questions, did he really think what he was selling was something incredible?

"You're right, miss. What price do you think would be appropriate?"

The stall owner curled his lips and said with a smile.

Did he not know the price was high?

He had never expected to sell it at that price anyway.

At a stall, who did not haggle?

If he did not set the price high enough, how would there be room to bargain afterward?

What a naive little girl!

He would probably make quite a profit from doing business with a little girl.

After this deal, he probably would not have to worry about anything for the next year.

He only hoped there would be more fools like this in the future. Then his life would be much easier!

The stall owner was especially pleased with himself.

She was just a little girl. Could he possibly lose to her?

"It's just a broken sword. I'll take a loss and buy it for one gold coin!"

After thinking it over, Xiao Yue named the price in her heart.

At that price, she could even buy a normal sharp sword, so the stall owner definitely would not lose out!

She really was too kindhearted!

"What?"

"One gold coin???"

"That's absolutely impossible!!!"

"I asked for 1,000, yet you're only willing to offer one. The difference is far too great—it's absolutely impossible!!!"

Was that how anyone haggled?

She had named the lowest price the moment she opened her mouth!

If he sold it off so casually, how was he supposed to make money?

Without even thinking, the stall owner directly refused.

He could tell that the little girl was genuinely interested in the broken sword. She would definitely not give it up so easily.

His earlier asking price had indeed been a bit excessive, but there was no way he would go as low as one gold coin!!!

"One gold coin isn't okay? I think it's quite suitable!

Look at this sword. When I held it just now, I did not even dare use any force, afraid it would fall apart on the spot!

I only wanted to take it home and keep it because I felt it had some affinity with me.

One gold coin really isn't little!"

Xiao Yue spoke with exceptional sincerity.

She felt there was nothing wrong with what she said.

How much could such a badly damaged sword possibly sell for?

"Is this an ordinary sword?"

"It isn't a sword at all. It's a key—a key to unlocking an inheritance. How could it possibly be that cheap?"

The stall owner once again emphasized the true purpose of his sword.

If it truly were a sword, it naturally would have no value. But if it were a key, then the price would be different!

"A key?"

"A key to where??"

"Do you think it looks even the slightest bit like a key?"

Xiao Yue immediately retorted.

How did a broken sword resemble a key?

Even if it really was a key, could it still be used in such a damaged state?

"Enough of that. Two hundred gold coins. Just 200 gold coins, and I'll sell it to you!"

The stall owner gritted his teeth, as though he had suffered a tremendous loss.

"Two hundred gold coins is too expensive. One hundred gold coins!"

Xiao Yue did not take the stall owner's price seriously.

"Girl, what's going on with you? Why are you offering 100 gold coins? How could that broken sword possibly be worth that much? Don't tell me you've lost your head again?"

Su Mu had been quite satisfied with this Little Disciple, so why was she getting muddleheaded again?

100 gold coins?

His Little Disciple could actually say that?

Did she think she had too many gold coins? Was carrying them on her too tiring?

If she really thought carrying all that gold was exhausting, it was not as if he could not hold it for her.

Yet she was going to spend it so foolishly?

What kind of muddleheadedness was this?
