"Esteemed guests, apologies for keeping you waiting..."
Just as Bai Yu and Shu Lichuo were discussing matters, an elegant man in white slowly entered the private room, a jade folding fan in hand.
The man looked exceptionally delicate. Blossoming peonies were embroidered over the left breast of his white robes, while his hair fell straight down without any adornment. Were it not for his prominent Adam's apple, he could easily have been mistaken for a woman.
This delicate-looking man held an extremely high position throughout the Nether Demon Market. When he arrived, quite a few people in the private room showed flashes of shock and surprise in their eyes.
As though wondering why he had come here.
"I am Lu Hong, the master of the Nether Demon Market. You may call me Market Master Lu, fellow Daoists."
Lu Hong politely bowed. As if sensing Shu Lichuo's gaze, his eyes shifted slightly toward her, and then his pupils contracted. For some reason, he felt an incomparably terrifying attraction emanating from Shu Lichuo.
That inexplicable sensation could even stir the greed within him!
This woman was terrifying...
"My apologies. I have been discourteous."
Lu Hong forcibly suppressed his emotions and smiled, apologizing for his offense.
Bai Yu smiled faintly at this, though inwardly he became wary.
The market master?
That old man had clearly said he was going to notify the chief steward, yet the one who came was the market master. It seemed the Gold-Silver God Suppression Wine held an overwhelming attraction for the Nether Demon Market.
"Market Master Lu, let us be direct. I assume you already know what I need. Since the Nether Demon Market invited me here to negotiate, that means you have what I need, correct?"
Bai Yu could not be bothered with pleasantries and spoke bluntly.
