Fooled Three Times

His brows furrowed immediately.

He had been scammed three times before, and all his previous savings had been wiped out.

His older sister was the sect leader and doted on him, often giving him many good things.

He himself also goes to the Secret Realm and is skilled in Alchemy. He has accumulated some knowledge and skills over this period of time. However, it has only been a year since he was deceived last time. Even though he has accumulated more knowledge and skills than most people can imagine, the other party's serious demeanor still makes him feel that he is not well prepared.

Seeing him frown, the Flower Pavilion Shopkeeper knew what was going on.

He had to trick the big one into giving him more; it couldn't be less than the previous three, or he'd lose face. Besides, if it was less, Liu Yanyan would probably think there was something wrong with it. It was more reasonable to give more, making it easier for the other party to be fooled.

The Flower Pavilion Shopkeeper also frowned.

"Oh dear, is it not enough?"

"This, this is not good. Even if you are Sect Master Liu's younger brother, I cannot back down. How about I show you another one that you can afford? Let's just forget about this one."

After saying that, the manager of Flower Pavilion Shopkeeper turned and left. Liu Yanyan immediately became anxious and tried to grab him, but Su Zhan held her down.

Su Zhan was invited by Liu Yanyan herself. Even though he wanted to chase after her right now, he didn't move. But his eyes showed that he was very anxious, eagerly hoping that Su Zhan would let go. He had the kind of eagerness that something good was about to fly away, which made Su Zhan roll his eyes in annoyance.

Meanwhile, the Flower Pavilion Shopkeeper had walked halfway out, and if he walked any further, he would really be out of the way, but no one stopped him from behind, which puzzled and embarrassed him.

Only the best of these things can be used to create the best deception. If he just leaves like this, is he really going to replace it with something else? How can Liu Yanyan be fooled then? Even if she is, she won't pay the highest price. Wouldn't he be letting Liu Yanyan down, and also letting himself down?

"Ahem, Elder Liu, this is our first time working together."

"It wouldn't be good for me to leave like this."

"That's incredibly rude and shows a complete lack of manners."

The Flower Pavilion Shopkeeper turned around, looking quite troubled.

Liu Yanyan nodded immediately.

"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right."

As she spoke, she glanced at Su Zhan, a look of wanting to leave but not daring to. The Flower Pavilion Shopkeeper immediately understood why Liu Yanyan hadn't caught up, and instantly felt disgusted with Su Zhan, the Steward.

He also understood that this Steward seemed to be a bit smarter than Liu Yanyan, but unfortunately, he was a bit too bold, daring to interfere with his plans. It was truly despicable.

"How about this, we'll keep an eye on it for now, since you're unlikely to part with it anyway."

"If you like it and want to take it, you can give me a portion first."

"Anyway, you're Sect Master Liu's disciple and Silent Sect Elder. Do you think I'm afraid you won't acknowledge it?"

Liu Yanyan hesitated upon hearing this. Although the idea was good and could alleviate his immediate crisis, the problem was, what if his burden became too heavy in the future, and his sister found out?

As Liu Yanyan hesitated, the Flower Pavilion Shopkeeper looked at Su Zhan with a meaningful gaze, as if reminding Su Zhan not to ruin his plans. Su Zhan sneered inwardly.

The Flower Pavilion Shopkeeper is very eloquent and also very greedy.

His pretentious act was simply a ploy to extract the greatest benefit from Liu Yanyan.

Judging from Liu Yanyan's posture, she's definitely going to fall for it, provided, of course, that I don't stop her. In that case, the Flower Pavilion Shopkeeper will have made a contribution to the Flower Pavilion.
