Chapter 213: Thieves' Den Case
But this secret only surprised Yaoshi Yuan. What truly left her at a loss was something else.
She discovered that the returns she received did not match the selling prices on the Trading Board.
To be precise, she had agreed to split things fifty-fifty with Bunny Heroine, but based on the Trading Board's transaction prices, she had received roughly seventy percent of the spirit jade. The Blood Replenishment Pills and repair items she bought from Bunny Heroine were also basically below market price.
On top of that, Yaoshi Yuan had once traded with Bunny Heroine for an introductory secret technique book. When she had traded with the Three Great Protectors, Yaoshi Yuan had obtained a Fist Palm Secret Technique Book, but neither she nor Bunny Heroine needed it. So Yaoshi Yuan had asked whether Bunny Heroine could trade her a Spear Secret Technique Book. Two days later, Bunny Heroine had produced one and said she'd gotten it in a one-for-one exchange.
At the time, Yaoshi Yuan hadn't thought much of it. She had simply sighed over how capable Bunny Heroine's elder brother was and used the Secret Skill Book.
But now she saw an immortal's order: one "Secret Skill Book Release" and two "Advanced Swordplay Mastery Manuals" in exchange for a Spear Secret Technique Book.
There was also an immortal's order offering five "Advanced Swordplay Mastery Manuals" for a Secret Technique Research Book. Yaoshi Yuan herself had one, and it was a spoils-of-war item Bunny Heroine had suggested she choose. If Yellow Dog wanted it, he could simply take it from her.
In truth, all of this could be explained by Bunny Heroine's kindness. She knew Yaoshi Yuan was in dire straits, so she had deliberately given her a larger share of the spirit jade.
