Not long after Ling Zhiwang left, He Pingsheng straightened his clothes and headed to the Red Moon Trading Company.
He went straight to a private room on the third floor to wait for Elder Red Moon.
Whether Elder Red Moon was away from the trading company or something else had happened, He Pingsheng waited a full four hours before he saw her.
"Sorry..."
As soon as she entered, Red Moon said, "Fellow Daoist He, this lady... er, I was just summoned by the City Lord, so I arrived late!"
"Sorry for the wait!"
"It's fine!" He Pingsheng shook his head.
Red Moon asked, "Did you need something from me, fellow Daoist?"
He Pingsheng did not answer directly. Instead, he said, "A few years ago, I asked you to keep an eye out for metal-attribute and earth-attribute origin laws. If any turned up, I could exchange other laws for them. Several years have passed, so I came to ask whether you had heard anything, Fellow Daoist Red Moon."
"Hehehe..."
Red Moon chuckled.
The moment He Pingsheng opened his mouth, she knew what he meant.
"So you caught the scent and came running, Fellow Daoist He?" As she spoke, Red Moon moved over and sat opposite him.
There were only the two of them in the small private room.
"Earlier today, a senior in the Nascent Soul Realm did indeed come to our trading company to consign a bottle of fourth-grade Dao-Gathering Pills for auction..." Red Moon explained, "As you know, once something involves Daoist laws, I can no longer judge its value!"
"To price it accurately, I had no choice but to take it to the City Lord for inspection!"
"After that, the City Lord took charge of the matter!"
"It's out of my hands now!"
"Huh?" Slightly disappointed, He Pingsheng
