"Isn't this Shopkeeper Sun? Do you think I'm getting in the way by setting up a stall outside your door?"
Xu Taiping smiled as he asked Shopkeeper Sun.
Even without Ping'an's Mind-Heart Communication telling him, he could have guessed that Shopkeeper Sun had come for his hundred-plus golden toad pearls.
"Young man, our Relic-Seeking Studio will take all hundred-plus golden toad pearls. I can offer you a hundred and eighty Gold Essence Coins apiece!"

"Come, come, pack up all these golden toad pearls. Young man, come with me to the counter for payment."
Convinced that Xu Taiping could not possibly refuse this price, Shopkeeper Sun simply ordered the shop assistants to collect the goods.
"Wait, wait!"
Xu Taiping had not expected Shopkeeper Sun to be so thick-skinned. He immediately swept all the golden toad pearls into his ring.
"Young man, what is the meaning of this?"
Shopkeeper Sun frowned at Xu Taiping in displeasure.

Xu Taiping looked at Shopkeeper Sun in bewilderment.
"Young man, you'd better think this through. Offending our Relic-Seeking Studio in the Imperial Capital is no good thing."
Shopkeeper Sun stared at Xu Taiping, his face livid.
To his mind, his willingness to pay such a high price for this batch of golden toad pearls
