Though Tang Shanhai had also taken part in Xu Yi's scheme, he still couldn't guess what Xu Yi was really planning.
With so many medicinal ingredients bought at such exorbitant prices, the only way to turn a profit was for their value to rise even further, allowing them to be resold at a gain.
If that was what Xu Yi had in mind, then the prices he'd driven up—and the speed at which he'd done it—were simply too much, too fast.
So much so that there was no way the prices of the ingredients could rise significantly again in such a short time.
Nor could Tang Shanhai see any chance of Xu Yi successfully unloading the bombs he'd bought.
At the same time, he didn't believe Xu Yi was a fool. There had to be some secret he didn't know about.
Xu Yi smiled. "Things fall apart when secrets are revealed. Brother Tang wants to see the grand show, so why rush? I can only promise you that I won't disappoint."
Tang Shanhai pointed at Xu Yi. "You, honestly. But that's true. Only someone like you, who never trusts anyone, could keep getting ahead in this brutal Cultivation World. All right, I'm cooperating, aren't I? For the sake of this grand show, I have to cooperate."
Xu Yi smiled. "Why make it sound so unfair, Brother Tang? I'm the one who'll have to worry in the end. After all, if anything goes wrong, I'll be the one dragged off to work for you. All right, I've been busy for ages and need a rest. I won't keep you for a meal."
Tang Shanhai pointed at Xu Yi. "You're not only distrustful, you're coldhearted, too. You won't even spare me the face of a meal. Who could beat you?"
