Shopkeeper Sun, Whose Imagination Is Limited by Poverty, Gifts? An Inner Scene Killer!
"What do you all think of this small gift for our first meeting?"
Sun Gui straightened up, stroked his chin, and smiled.
Clear Abyss Sect is considered a major sect in a prefecture, but Yun Province has three regions and twenty-seven prefectures, each of which is no less than Purple Sun Prefecture. The accounts he handles each year are enough to build several sects of the scale of Clear Abyss Sect.
His calculations were very accurate.
What's displayed outside is roughly equivalent to the treasury of a medium-sized sect.
But the lobby was very quiet.
Qian Bufan: "..."
Ouyang: "..."
He scratched his head, calculating how many sets of writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones he could buy for his junior brother Li.
Xue Jing: "..."
The thought of Little Li pouring out medicinal herbs left Old Xue feeling completely unmoved.
The scene was very quiet.
The silence was a little awkward.
Sun Gui was completely baffled. Could it be that the Clear Abyss Sect's wealth was far greater than he had imagined?
Or perhaps they've seen the world and don't show their emotions?
Li Mo was so young; he had never seen anything like this before...
"What does Young Hero Li think?"
"I have always regarded money as dirt and have never been interested in gold and silver treasures."
Li Mo maintained a polite smile.
He felt a gaze upon him from behind.
As everyone knows, Little Li doesn't have eyes in the back of his head.
But was his training with his beautiful master a waste of time?
This is exactly what we need!
"Please take these gifts back, Manager Sun."
Sun Gui's expression changed; being adept at reading people, he didn't detect a trace of greed or lingering affection in Li Mo's expression.
Is he truly a person of high moral character, detached from vulgar tastes?
But... everyone has something they desire in this life.
It's nothing more than fame and fortune, or perhaps personal strength and transcendence.
Sun Gui squinted and chuckled:
"In that case, I was being presumptuous."
"However, Young Hero Li, do you know that my Hengtong Trading Firm Company has trade routes all over the world? We have all kinds of rare treasures, elixirs, divine weapons, and secret Supreme Lore manuals. Even if you don't have them right now, you can find them through connections."
"Divine weapon?"
"Forehead..."
"Do you have any divine weapons?"
Sun Gui's smile vanished abruptly.
Most divine weapons are in the hands of the Heavenly Ranking experts, and even they don't use them easily. They are usually enshrined in important places like Heavenly Ranking Ancestral Halls.
"I can find a trading company, but that's beyond my authority..."
"So it was just an adjective? What about the divine skill?"
"..."
Sun Gui himself had only mastered Supreme Lore ultimate skill.
Are there any pills similar to the Nine-Orifice Dragon-Tiger Golden Pill?
Li Mo asked.
"Huh? What's that?"
Sun Gui was exposed to areas where his knowledge was lacking.
My current situation seems a bit like... being limited by poverty in terms of imagination.
Tang Xiaobao scratched his head. "Junior Brother Li, what he just said seemed to be all adjectives."
Sun Gui suddenly felt that the weather was a bit hot, and he was sweating profusely.
He paused for a moment, then said to ease the awkwardness:
Let's order first.
"Let's talk more while we eat... waiter!"
Li Mo said, "The waiter is asleep in the woodshed."
"Hmm?" Sun Gui was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Actually, I'm quite familiar with the owner here, so I'll have him keep me company."
"You mean Manager Zhang? He should be on his way back to his hometown right now," Li Mo said thoughtfully.
"He went back? Why so suddenly...?"
"Naturally, it's because they sold the restaurant for a good price."
"Old Zhang once said that this restaurant was the culmination of his life's work, and no amount of money could make him give it up and retire peacefully at home..."
Sun Gui picked up his tea and took a sip.
Li Mo said, "A box of silver notes, about the size of your box, right?"
"A box of... silver notes? What kind of sucker is this..." Sun Gui glanced around, then asked, puzzled.
"How did Young Hero Li know all this so clearly?"
Li Mo pointed to himself expressionlessly:
"Because I was the sucker."
"??"
Sun Gui suddenly understood why Li Mo had lost interest in money.
He coughed lightly, his voice becoming much softer:
"Actually, my eldest daughter is extremely beautiful, well-educated, gentle, and quiet. Moreover, she greatly admires Young Master Young Hero Li and should meet Young Hero Li's criteria for a spouse."
"My beautiful, rich, and lovely disciple," Shang Wu said with a smile, nudging Li Mo with her elbow.
Li Mo waved her hand emphatically. "I have no interest in daughters of noble families."
Sun Gui continued, "My second daughter, though a bit unruly, is lively and playful, and quite fond of chivalrous deeds..."
"The same goes for spoiled heiresses."
"My third daughter works in the Yamen and is now a head constable. She hates evil and is mortal with evil."
"... Can she help me wipe out the Drizzle Pavilion?"
Black lines appeared on Little Li's forehead.
Where did this Manager Sun get so many daughters?
It was quite a headache; he suspected that if he accepted everything offered, Manager Sun probably wouldn't mind him taking it all...
But he has already made his meaning very clear!
Why did they have to take him as their son-in-law...? It's all Tian Miao's fault. Whether the "wife-enhancing" claim is true or not, is it really necessary to put such an improper person on the Hidden Dragon Ranking?
"I have no plans to get married for the time being," Li Mo said helplessly.
Sun Gui was silent for a moment, then asked, "Then why don't you... Young Hero Li try getting to know my daughter one by one? What if you happen to fall in love and develop feelings for each other over time..."
Li Mo's eyes were clear and resolute. "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
He finished speaking.
Then I sensed someone sitting next to me.
Ying Bing drank her tea as if no one else was around; her skin was as white as ice and her bones as pure as jade, her noble and refined appearance beyond compare.
When he was caught in that gaze, Sun Gui suddenly felt less hot.
But why am I sweating even more, with sweat pouring down my face uncontrollably?
"I appreciate Manager Sun's kindness, but please take these gifts back."
Li Mo took the teacup and took a sip.
Sun Gui, however, was a man of good manners and readily agreed:
"There's no reason to take back a gift that's offered to you."
"To be able to become acquainted with Young Hero Li would make my trip worthwhile."
He clapped his hands again.
The servants who followed brought in another box.
Li Mo discovered that the box was exceptionally luxurious; the materials used to make it were almost equivalent to the weight of gold.
"This is?"
Li Mo asked.
Sun Gui walked to the box in the center of the hall and patted it twice:
"Although it's not a particularly valuable item for Young Hero Li, it's still something he can use."
He was about to open the box.
However, he suddenly felt a pang of fear in his heart. When he looked up, he found that the elders of Clear Abyss Sect opposite him were also in the same situation, as if something strange had suddenly happened.
It wasn't sudden.
The box suddenly exploded the next moment.
The Inner Scene appeared in an instant.
Pitch black, the restaurant was plunged into a thick darkness in an instant, as if all light had vanished in a flash.
Change the world?
Isn't this the signature martial art of the Evil Wisdom King?
A name instantly came to mind for everyone.
Peng Keshan, a follower of the Evil Wisdom King, ranked seventy-third on the Human Ranking, Ten Thousand Horses Muted Blade.
