C36 (2/2)
Ling Yan looked at him and slowly said, ”Besides these two ways of obtaining the diamonds, is there really no other way to obtain them? What about the ones I found on the ground?”
”Cough, cough …” The old man laughed dryly, ”Mr Ling must be joking, it's my question that's wrong. Hehe, then may I ask Mr Ling if you have such a diamond?” He stared at Ling Yan with both concentration and nervousness, as if Ling Yan's answer had a great deal to do with him.
Ling Yan nodded with a beaming smile and said, ”I do, I still have a lot of them, including high-rank ones. Haha, Master Chen, do you know anything about them?”
The old man stared at Ling Yan dumbfoundedly, as if a flower had suddenly bloomed on his face. The fatty stood at the side and was also secretly surprised. The usually aloof and indifferent Master Chen seemed to have lost all control over his emotions in front of this young man. Every word from the young man could make him change his expression. Or did the youth represent something? Fatty listened in confusion, but he did not dare to interrupt. He did not have a seat in front of the old man, and if he did not have to lead the way, the fatty would not even have the qualifications to fawn on him.
Ling Yan opened his mouth slowly and said, ”Master Chen, you know that this diamond should actually be called crystal, right?”
The old man was startled and quickly stood up. His expression was a bit formal as he asked, ”Excuse me, are you …?” Even the title has changed, from you to you. Only the old man himself knew that if the young man in front of him really was someone of that level, he probably wouldn't even have the right to stand in front of him.
Fang Hui looked at the old man in a daze before looking at Ling Yan. Ling Yan's words were neither warm nor fiery, but why was the old man so shocked? Isn't it just a crystal? What was there to be surprised about? Before he could finish, the old man sat down and stood up again like a monkey.
At this moment, Ling Yan was in a very happy mood. Looking at the old man's appearance, it was obvious that he had met cultivators before. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known about the existence of crystals and wouldn't have such a respectful expression standing in front of him. Ling Yan stood up from the sofa with a faint smile and said to the old man, ”You should know my surname, Ling. Go tell the people you need to know. Tell them that I'll be back in three days to wait for them.” He wanted to ask Old Man Chen some more questions, but after thinking about how he would ask the person in charge behind him in a few days, he couldn't wait. The old man then replied respectfully, ”Yes, senior.”
Ling Yan thought for a moment before continuing, ”As for how much that crystal is worth, ask that Miss Fang or you can decide for yourselves. I've already given her that crystal.”
The old man replied respectfully, ”Yes, Miss Fang.” He took out a green bank card from his pocket and passed it to Fang Hui with both hands as he said respectfully, ”Miss Fang, please take this card. Miss Fang, please take this card and take it with you.
Fang Hui took the card and replied, ”Master Chen, you don't have to be so polite. As long as you're not lacking in terms of money, I don't care!”
Ling Yan turned to Fang Hui and said, ”Let's go, otherwise Little Treasure will run off somewhere.”
Ah!” Fang Hui was shocked and looked around. Little Treasure was nowhere to be seen. He was sure that Little Treasure had run out to catch him when he let go of the card. He nodded at the old man and quickly gave chase. Ling Yan smiled and said to Old Man Chen, ”When you are informing your boss, just one more word: those who are in seclusion are out!” Ling Yan was afraid that those low-level disciples would not know that he was surnamed Ling, so he added on. Those juniors and juniors of his who were in confinement would know about him, and presumably they had also told them before. At that moment, a noise came from the hall. It sounded like it came from Fang Hui. Ling Yan glanced outside and smiled at the old man, then walked out of the VIP room.
The old man's respectful voice came from behind him, ”Senior's instructions must be conveyed to me as soon as possible. Senior, take care.”
When Ling Yan came to the exhibition hall, he saw Xiaobao being carried by the pretty behind the counter by the young lady, while Fang Hui was angrily staring at the young lady. Xiaobao was in the young lady's embrace as he reached out his hands and called out to Fang Hui while struggling for his sister's body, but was unable to move at all.
The counter girl giggled, ”I hugged him because I like him, why are you being so stingy?”
Fang Hui said angrily, ”But Little Treasure doesn't like you. Don't you see?” Xiao Bao's wailing sister made Fang Hui's heart hurt. If it were not for the fact that he could not get over the counter, Fang Hui would have already snatched it away. When Ling Yan slowly walked to Fang Hui's side, the old man and the fat man had already rushed over when they heard the commotion. Before Ling Yan could speak with a dark face, the old man had already opened his mouth, but his tone and expression were not scolded or scolded by the staff members. Instead, it was a panicked expression as he hurriedly said, ”Miss Hu, please hand the child over to Miss Fang. You have angered the distinguished guests!”
Ms. Hu, who was behind the counter, was looking at Ling Yan and Fang Hui with a provocative look. When she saw the old man interrupting, her pretty face turned cold as a cold light flashed in her eyes. She shouted, ”Shut up! Old man, you must be tired of living. How dare you interrupt my business!” The old man was scared stiff by Ling Yan's sudden shout. He looked at Ling Yan in panic and was at a loss of what to do.
Ling Yan became increasingly suspicious of the identity of the counter lady. How could a clerk from a small sales district dare to act so arrogantly in front of the manager, not taking him seriously at all? Furthermore, the aura he exuded was different from that of a cultivator's; Ling Yan suspected that this woman might be a demonic cultivator, but why would a demonic cultivator appear as a counter lady in a jewelry shop that was opened by cultivators? This jewelry store was opened by a demonic cultivator? Ling Yan was still shallow in his knowledge and was still skeptical. He wasn't completely sure that this woman was a demonic cultivator.
