"Indeed, Senior Qu, there’s no rush to leave right away," said Nan Mu, who was all in. Since Han Yan was so determined, and he didn’t want to object, then he would just listen to him.
So he spoke pleasantly, but it was actually nothing more than insincere pleasantries, offering no mention of discussion.
"No need, I want to see how the Nanmu Auction collapses without my help," Qu Shanling could obviously tell the pleasantries for what they were, and with annoyance, could not help but reply with a spiteful sneer.
"Senior Qu, even if we can’t come to an agreement on the matter, there’s no need for such harsh words," Han Yan never had much fondness for the old god-man and said displeased upon hearing him.
"Am I wrong? Just a little-known auction house daring to break the rules of the major chambers of commerce, making enemies everywhere. If it can’t gain reputation and establish a foundation quickly, won’t it be devoured to the bone?" Qu Shanling had grievances in his heart and felt relieved to speak his mind.
"Senior Qu is not wrong in that regard, but making a name and a fortune doesn’t necessarily depend on Elder Qu, right?" Han Yan also sneered when he spoke, clearly mocking, obviously not taking the reputation of the old god-man seriously.
"Hahahaha, are you saying you can find a Star Divination Master or a Treasure Appraisal Master more famous than myself?" Qu Shanling laughed angrily, the contempt in his words was even more pronounced.
Han Yan smiled, remaining silent but with a mysterious air.
This pretentious mystique was indeed quite god-man... oh wait, more like a Star Divination Master.
Mu Nan felt a surge of excitement; these were hints that Han Yan was about to take action. She knew she was also a Star Divination Master. Seeing her confident demeanor, could her Star Divination Technique be even more powerful than Qu Shanling’s? But even if she was that powerful, being unknown wouldn’t create much of a stir, right? Would it still be inferior to Qu Shanling’s involvement?
Thinking this, Mu Nan felt puzzled again.
"I want to see where you would find a Star Divination Star more renowned than myself," Qu Shanling felt inexplicably suffocated seeing Han Yan’s confident manner and simply stopped walking.
"Not necessarily more famous, but the results will surely not be inferior to yours, maybe even better," said Han Yan.
Mu Nan became excited, her fingers trembling slightly. Every time Han Yan did something astonishing, it brought too much surprise and delight. So what about this time?
Upon hearing Han Yan’s words, Qu Shanling couldn’t even bother to say more, his face full of disdain as he adopted the pose of one waiting to see.
"Boastful words, acting all mysterious. Who do you think you’re fooling with your feigned occult? You don’t know by what, by what..." His young disciple was very dissatisfied and spoke up, but before he finished, Qu Shanling glared at him fiercely, prompting him to swallow his words back.
Luckily, he reacted quickly; he almost revealed the truth about his master’s way of making money through deceit. The person silently patted his chest, feeling immensely relieved. Thɪs chapter is updated by n̷o̷v̷e̷l̷f̷i̷r̷e̷.net
"Young master, we’ve been looking everywhere for you, so you were here," Che Xiang’s respectful voice came from the entrance of the courtyard, with Huayue and Zirong also standing by.
"Is there something the matter?" asked Han Yan.
"All those medicinal herbs have been packed and sorted, would you like to check them?" Che Xiang asked.
