The smile on Yan Bing's face froze. As far as she was concerned, Xu Yang should never have refused.
Xu Yang was a clever man. Seeing that she could enter the Middle Court, he should have been able to guess the Spirit Treasure Market's background.
Besides, she was not trying to take advantage of him. His weapons would definitely fetch a high price at the auction.
"Brother Xu, are you dissatisfied with my terms? If so, please feel free to say so," Yan Bing said with a frown.
She thought Xu Yang was relying on his weapon-forging craft to demand more benefits. After all, she was the one who had come asking for his help.
And with his current weapon-forging skill and reputation, he certainly had the right to negotiate with her.
Xu Yang shook his head. "You misunderstand, Shopkeeper Yan. I truly have no time. It isn't that I'm dissatisfied with your terms."
He could have taken the opportunity to ask for Golden-Horned Spirit Deer antlers or heart-calming fire lotus, but he truly loathed people like Yan Bing, who wore one face in public and another behind people's backs. Besides, with his abilities, plenty of people would gladly exchange Golden-Horned Spirit Deer antlers and heart-calming fire lotus for supreme-grade spirit currency. There was no need to work with someone who had nearly gotten him killed.
By this point, Yan Bing understood that Xu Yang disliked her personally, rather than genuinely lacking time. Otherwise, he would at least have discussed terms. Besides, even if he was busy cultivating, forging a supreme-grade spirit weapon would only take a month or so. Surely he could spare that much time. He knows I revealed his identity to the Han Family. Yan Bing immediately realized what had happened.
But she did not regret it.
