You Kangshun briefly glanced at Duan Yue and subsequently rested his eyes on Yunxiao.

He had heard about the two of them from the girl, and he, too, believed that Yunxiao was the master while the Martial Grandmaster was just an attendant. In the South, it was rare for someone to have a Martial Grandmaster as an attendant, so his attitude grew respectful.

“My name is Li Yunxiao. Manager You, you can just call me Young Master Yun,” said Yunxiao with a smile. Meanwhile, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. “I didn’t expect Manager You to be a Martial Grandmaster.”

Generally, only branches in the capitals of empires would be presided over by Martial Grandmasters. For example, the branch in Firecrow Empire was overseen by two Martial Grandmasters. Qinghai was just a city of Skyfragrance Empire. It could be seen from this that the situation here was indeed very complicated.

You Kangshun laughed and said quickly, “It was a stroke of luck that I managed to become a one-star Martial Grandmaster, but I guess I’ll stop at this level for the rest of my life. Compared to this great man here, the difference between us is like that between candlelight and the sun.” He could not figure out Duan Yue’s cultivation base at all, but the hidden aura gave him an extremely dangerous feeling, which was at least stronger than his.

“Xiaoya, go and bring me the best tea in my collection. Be quick about it!”

The girl bowed and left the room, soon returning with a tea set.

“Please, try my thousand-year-old deep sea black tea! It is harvested in the deep sea thousands of miles into the South Sea and cannot be purchased with gold coins, but only Primordial Stones. However, it is always in short supply.” You Kangshun had a proud look on his face. If it were not for Yunxiao’s seemingly prestigious status, he would not have taken out such a precious tea to entertain them.

Xiaoya handed them teacups with the tea she had brewed. While smiling, Yunxiao took a sip, and his eyes lit up instantly as he praised, “Tsk, tsk, it’s been years since I tasted such an excellent tea. Qinghai is indeed a fertile land, and Manager You, you really know how to enjoy life!”

You Kangshun just smiled and lightly blew at his tea. To fight for the position of branch manager, he had spent a lot, but he had already made it all back over the years. “You’re flattering me, Young Master Yun! Guarding this land free from corruption and working hard every day is no enjoyment, to be honest. Well, may I know what business Young Master Yun wishes to talk about? Is it really worth one million superior-grade Primordial Stones?”

Although Qinghai was rich in products and large transactions often took place, it was extremely rare to find one that was worth a million superior-grade Primordial Stones.

Yunxiao chuckled as he put down his teacup and said leisurely, “It’s nothing special. I just want to borrow a batch of things that are worth a million superior-grade Primordial Stones from Myriad Treasures Store.”

A dead silence fell over the room.

Clang!

The teapot’s lid in Xiaoya’s hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Puke!

Puke!

Both You Kangshun and Duan Yue spewed out the tea in their mouths at the same time before they began to cough violently, their faces red as they kept pounding at their own chests.

BANG!

In the next instant, You Kangshun’s face turned blue with rage, and he slammed a fist on the table. His eyes grew cold as he said, “Young Master Yun, how humorous you are!”

Duan Yue was completely struck dumb. ‘So, the business worth one million turns out to be borrowing one million from others?’ As soon as You Kangshun’s voice faded away, some auras could be clearly sensed stirring outside. At least dozens of people had surrounded the room, and a faint murderous aura began to spread in the air.

As the saying went, there were four tragedies in life, one of which was to meet an old friend in another place who wanted to borrow money from you. Even friends would fall out when it came to borrowing money, let alone strangers. Duan Yue was very angry. ‘I should not have believed this cunning boy. He doesn’t look like he has a business to talk at all! I’m in trouble this time because of him!’

“Haha! You are too impatient, Manager You. Sit down and talk slowly, and don’t let such an excellent tea cool down. It will be a waste.” Yunxiao drank the tea alone like nobody was watching.

After pausing for a moment, Xiaoya hastily put away the broken lid and replaced it with a brand-new one. Her eyes were filled with deep bitterness, because even she could see that her commission going up in smoke.

You Kangshun’s face was flickering. ‘He seems to be emboldened. Could he be sent by some power to deliberately cause trouble here? But it’s unlikely, because if he were here to cause trouble only, he wouldn’t need to mess around like this.’

He swallowed his anger and slowly sat down, but his attitude was no longer as warm as before. In a cold voice, he said, “Your words are too deep, Young Master Yun, please make it plain to me. Myriad Treasures Store is wealthy, but my ability is limited. If you want to borrow less than one hundred, I can personally donate that to you. As for the figure you mentioned, I’ll take it as a joke.”

“I’m not kidding!” Yunxiao said with a faint smile in his eyes.

You Kangshun’s face turned cold again, and his eyes burned with rage. At the sight of that, Duan Yue felt his head reel. He began to quickly calculate the strength of the surrounding experts, and had decided that once the situation turned bad, he would flee by force.

Meanwhile, Yunxiao took out a medallion from his ring and threw it over. “How much can I borrow with the credibility of this medallion?”

An exquisite small golden medallion spun on the table, its surface carved with complicated patterns that glowed faintly and magnificently. It was the honored guest card Yin Zhaoyang gave him.

You Kangshun’s pupils constricted. He picked up the gold medallion and examined it for a while. It was genuine; the medallion definitely represented a distinguished guest of Myriad Treasures Store, and its grade was above his authority. Only then did he show a shocked look and returned it to Yunxiao with both hands.

“It turns out that Young Master Yun is a first-grade distinguished guest of Myriad Treasures Store. Why didn’t you tell me earlier? You made me nervous for nothing.” You Kangshun’s face relaxed in an instant, becoming extremely kind, and he said with a warm tone as if Yunxiao were his old friend, “This is the proof of a first-grade distinguished guest, and with it, one can enjoy a great discount at any of Myriad Treasures Store’s branches. But, as for borrowing money…” He paused a moment and said reluctantly, “there has never been a precedent!”

Those who could become Myriad Treasures Store’s first-grade distinguished guests were either experts who reigned over a region or the leaders of great powers, and they would never borrow money. In the South, there were less than ten medallions of this grade, You Kangshun knew that even he was not qualified to issue it.

Duan Yue’s eyes grew wide with shock. Although he did not know what the medallion represented, he immediately understood that it was something extraordinary when he saw how fast You Kangshun changed his expression and switched his attitude. He cursed angrily in his heart, ‘F*ck! Since he has such a good thing, why didn’t he take it out earlier? Was he purposely making fun of me? A first-grade distinguished guests of Myriad Treasures Store…Damnit, who exactly is this boy?’

When he heard that Yunxiao was a first-grade distinguished guest, he thought he was the best distinguished guest. It was only a trick Myriad Treasures Store played with the classification, which made the cardholders think their cards were superior. Yunxiao knew there were at least four more grades above the so-called first-grade. The topmost grade was only a small wooden medallion, and the holders were called supreme-grade distinguished guests. There were less than five of them in the whole Heavenly Martial Continent. In his previous life, although he did not have a supreme card, he had a jade card, which was one grade lower and extremely rare as well.

Yunxiao spun the golden medallion over his fingertip expressionlessly. After toying with it for a while, he sighed and said, “If that is the case, I’ll not trouble Manager You. I think my only option is to sell this golden medallion out there and see how much can I get…I reckon it can be sold for at least hundreds of thousands of superior-grade Primordial Stone.”

That immediately startled You Kangshun and turned his face green. He knew every grade of Myriad Treasures Store’s distinguished guest card was extremely exalted, and unless a person had a matching title and status, or had done a great deed to Myriad Treasures Store, it would not be easily issued.

Myriad Treasures Store’s distinguished guest cards were divided into eight grades, namely the upper-four cards and the lower-four cards. A fourth-grade card was the bottom of the lower-four cards, and a first-grade one was the top. Even he was only eligible to issue third-grade cards, and his quota was just one. The upper-four cards were red cards, black cards, jade cards, and supreme cards, and he had never seen them before. In the whole South, there were less than five upper-four cards, and they were all red cards. Therefore, a first-grade card was already a supreme existence in the South. If it were taken out to be sold, it would definitely make people fight each other crazily to buy it!

A first-tier card could enjoy a thirty percent discount at any of the Myriad Treasures Store’s branches. If it were bought by another trading company and used to cause trouble everywhere, the price of goods in the whole South would be messed up. ‘By that time, it would be real chaos, and it would definitely arouse the wrath of the upper management. If they send investigators to find out who is responsible for this, I wonder would I be implicated…’

At the thought, a cold sweat broke out on You Kangshun’s forehead, and he roared in his heart, ‘Who the hell issued a first-grade card to someone like this? He’s going to cause a huge trouble with it!’

When Yunxiao saw his nervous look, he laughed and said, “Why don’t you buy it, Manager You? I can sell it to you at a cheaper price.”

“No, no, no!” You Kangshun quickly shook his head as he waved and said, “Young Master Yun, you can’t make fun with this! It concerns the Myriad Treasures Store’s credibility and reputation. If a first-grade card could be casually traded, our distinguished guests would become a massive joke. For a trading company, this is a serious humiliation! If you do that, you will not be able to escape Myriad Treasures Store’s punishment, no matter how mighty you are!”

As he spoke, his tone grew unusually serious.

Even Duan Yue understood the seriousness of the matter now. ‘What kind of a person have I followed? Would I bring trouble to myself? Would it be all right if I follow him to the rainbow fog?’ A series of questions came into his head.

Yunxiao said as he beckoned with a finger, “Don’t be so nervous.”

You Kangshun leaned over with a suspicious look, and he whispered into his ear. Suddenly, the other’s dimmed, cloudy eyes lit up, and his face beamed as if he had just been given a shot in the arm.

“Really!” You Kangshun was stunned, his eyes gleaming as he said incredulously, “Is what you said true?”

“Of course!” Yunxiao narrowed his eyes and said, “You can take your time to consider it. I will stay in Qinghai for several days, and I’ll visit you again after some time.”

You Kangshun was slightly absentminded. When he saw that Yunxiao was about to leave, he quickly bowed and led the way, “This way please, Young Master Yun! I really need to take some time to consider it! Oh right, Myriad Treasures Store is considered a reputable existence in Qinghai, so if Young Master Yun runs into any problem, you can just send a servant to inform us.”
