“Brother Cheng, can you lower the price of the potion a bit? A bit lower.” Mo Tianzheng asked embarra.s.sedly, rubbing his hands.
Cheng Mobai rolled his eyes, “This is already the lowest preferential price, no cheaper than this price. I only give you this price because you are an old acquaintance. Don’t you go too far!”
“I know this price is already pretty low, very reasonable, but, you know, recently, my hands are tight.” Mo Tianzheng said helplessly.
Cheng Mobai shrugged his shoulders, “Then go earn more! It’s no use begging me here.”
“Brother Cheng, how about…I write an IOY first?” Mo Tianzheng asked tentatively.
Cheng Mobai’s face changed, “What? You wanna get the potion for not paying? You wis.h.!.+”
Mo Tianzheng, “…”
Cheng Mobai looked at him grumpily, “When you buy things from the a.s.sociation, you have never higgled like this!”
Before Mo Fei went missing, those old rats from the a.s.sociation instantly raised their heads. In order to get their potions, those heavenly cla.s.s masters fought each other below the table.
Cheng Mobai and Mo Fei were s.h.i.+fu and disciple, so the a.s.sociation also had a big problem with Cheng Mobai. And because of that, Cheng Mobai couldn’t a single potion for them. For that, Mo Tiancheng even gloated secretly.
“Brother Cheng, don’t say so! Before, I was wrong.” Mo Tianzheng said with a dry smile.
Cheng Mobai twitched his mouth and said disapprovingly, “You were wrong? Why? It’s my fault.”
Mo Tianzheng was full of awkwardness, “Brother Cheng, you are embarra.s.sing me.”
A burst of footsteps sounded, Zhao Hou stormed in.
Cheng Mobai sized him up and down, hands held around the waist, “Zhao Hou, what are you doing here?”
“These are the star herbs collected according to Master Mo Fei’s order. Brother Cheng, see if it’s enough to exchange for one potion.” Zhao Hou couldn’t help handing a s.p.a.ce ring to him.
Cheng Mobai swept over at the things in the s.p.a.ce ring, cleared his throat and said, “Generally speaking, it’s not enough, but, you are the first person that sends star herbs over, so you are my fist business today. I can give you a discount.”
Zhao Hou’s eyes glittered, “Thank you.”
Cheng Mobai waved his hand, “You are welcome, you are welcome, you are an old customer, I should give you a discount.”
Zhao Hou smiled, “Yes, yes, yes, I am an old customer. Brother Cheng! When your disciple comes up with something new and needs someone to try it, I can do it for you!”
Cheng Mobai rolled his eyes and said, “You wanna try the new potion? You can rest a.s.sured. Me and w.a.n.g Weixing can do that. It’s never your turn.”
Zhao Hou smiled awkwardly and said, “Such a dangerous thing, how can I let you and brother w.a.n.g do it?”
“Don’t worry. My disciple’s new potions are comparatively safe.” Said Cheng Mobai disapprovingly.
Zhao Hou smiled and said, “Of course, we all trust Master Mo Fei.”
“Come get the potion with the.” Cheng Mobai said.
Zhao Hou looked at Cheng Mobai, confused, “Go get the potion with you? Isn’t it on you now?”
Cheng Mobai gave a hollow laugh, “Before, I was in charge. But now, it’s Lou Yu.”
“Lou Yu?” Zhao Hou squinted his eyes and could not help feeling disappointed.
Cheng Mobai had soft ears. Without enough star herbs, if he kept begging him, maybe he’d show mercy. But Lou Yu was different. At such a young age, he was already at the middle stage of heavenly cla.s.s, heartless. So, he was afraid he couldn’t get a bargain from him.
Mo Tianzheng looked at the potion in Zhao Hou’s hand, saying with jealousy, “It’s so good to be rich.”
Zhao Hou smiled and said, “It’s not that I am rich. Before, I didn’t spend too much on the potions of the a.s.sociation, so I saved some.”
Mo Tianzheng bit his teeth, the higher the status, the more afraid of death. Before, people all laid their hope on those people from a.s.sociation. So even it cost all their belongings, they’d never balked at it.
“How sensible of you! Did you know Mo Fei would come back?” Asked Mo Tianzheng sourly.
Zhao Hou smiled and said, “How could I foretell things? Before I also tried to s.n.a.t.c.h potions from the a.s.sociation, but failed.”
