Feng Jun was not terrified. Instead, he found Huangfu Wuxia's reaction somewhat affected. He smiled faintly. "Heh, I already said there wouldn't be a next time. You don't need to be so dramatic. It's only a Qi Refining Stage artifact."
Huangfu Wuxia felt a little embarrassed when she heard that, and deeply wronged as well—she truly had never seen an artifact based on sword qi.
But she had known Feng Jun for so long and had tested him far too many times. She could understand why he had grown displeased.
Moreover, when Feng Jun had been strolling through the marketplace this time, she really had arranged for people to keep an eye on him. Otherwise, she would not have learned the news so quickly.
But it was not because she harbored malicious intentions. Rather, as her understanding of Feng Jun deepened step by step, she increasingly wanted to cooperate with him more closely.
Yet with Feng Jun being so mysterious, not to mention her, anyone else would not dare cooperate with him openly.
Of course, there were many ways to deepen a partnership. Gradually increasing the stakes from shallow to deep was also a good choice—after all, time revealed a person's true heart.
But Huangfu Wuxia had recently realized that, with perfume selling so well, Pacify Arms Mountain was becoming increasingly famous. She was very worried that if this continued, Feng Jun would catch the attention of other major merchants.
For her, deepening her understanding of Feng Jun as soon as possible was also an urgent necessity.
So, faced with the faint impatience Feng Jun had revealed, Huangfu Wuxia paused. Then she steeled herself and smiled. "I was presumptuous, but there is still something I don't understand... Does your sect lack water-element techniques?"
"Isn't your curiosity a little too strong?"
