"Shopkeeper Sun, take the other shopkeepers to welcome the Divine Maiden. I'll speak to that cultivator myself and see whether I can get him to pack up his stall before she arrives."
After only a moment's hesitation, Head Shopkeeper Song made his decision.
At that moment, the carriage of Mu Yuchen, the Divine Maiden of Peerless Nether Heaven, was still at the street entrance. Many onlookers had gathered around it, so she might not notice what was happening here.
"Yes!"
Shopkeeper Sun nodded repeatedly and immediately led the other shopkeepers forward to welcome her.
This Divine Maiden of Peerless Nether Heaven not only held an extremely high position, but her family's wealth rivaled a nation's. Casually closing a few deals with her would make up for the Relic-Seeking Studio's losses over the past two years.
That was why they attached such importance to her visit.
Soon, with a few maneuvers, Head Shopkeeper Song squeezed straight into the front row at Xu Taiping's stall.
"My friend, would you be willing to sell this Shark-Head Hammer made from a Deep-Sea Shark Demon's skull to our Relic-Seeking Studio? Name your price."
With no time to waste, Head Shopkeeper Song asked Xu Taiping for a price outright.
Some shopkeepers nearby who were also interested in buying it fell silent when they saw that the newcomer was Head Shopkeeper Song of the Relic-Seeking Studio.
Xu Taiping glanced at Shopkeeper Sun, who had scurried off in disgrace to welcome the Divine Maiden, and the trace of displeasure in his heart vanished.
After today, Shopkeeper Sun would surely be punished.
But although he had vented his anger, he still intended to carve a slice of flesh off the Relic-Seeking Studio.
"Head Shopkeeper Song, why don't you name a price?"
Xu Taiping calmly met Head Shopkeeper Song's gaze.
