Shi Yue pondered for a moment before saying, "Senior Shen, I can work with you, but the terms you proposed are too harsh. I can't make the decision myself. How about this? I'll consult my master first, then give you an answer. We can leave the specifics to our people. To be frank, Senior Shangguan, Fellow Daoist Ximen, and Fellow Daoist Situ have all approached me. This is a difficult position for me."
Shen Tianfeng wasn't surprised. He hadn't expected Shi Yue to accept all his terms; agreeing to cooperate at all was already quite good.
According to what Shangguan Rui had told him, Shi Yue's master was a Mahayana cultivator. Shen Tianfeng didn't dare force Shi Yue into cooperating.
"No problem, Little Friend Shi. This is Black Luan territory. If you need anything, just say the word. I'll do everything I can to provide it." Shen Tianfeng thumped his chest, brimming with confidence.
Shi Yue smiled and nodded. "Certainly. Don't worry, Senior Shen. As soon as I have an answer, I'll contact you. You can send someone to trade at the Immortal Herb Palace then."
Shen Tianfeng laughed heartily and agreed. The two chatted for a while before Shi Yue made an excuse to leave. Shen Tianfeng didn't try to keep him and personally saw him out.

"There's a mysterious power about him. Even using my Black Luan Spirit Eyes, I couldn't discern his true situation. If I hadn't been worried he'd misunderstand, I would've probed him with all my might." Shen Tianfeng frowned.
Shen Tianfeng hadn't dared to probe too deeply; otherwise, Shi Yue might have noticed something amiss.
