Chapter 282: Little Black Dragon
The servant continued to rub the carvings on the wooden box as he spoke, his rodent like eyes glimmering. He did not look like he wanted to give up the box.
Fang Zhengzhi watched as tears built up in The servant’s eyes. He scorned it. This was such an age old trick!
Trying to raise the prices?
”Since it’s so precious to you, I don’t want it!” Fang Zhengzhi turned and prepared to leave. He did not even take a second look at the box.
The servant, who was still caressing the box, was stunned.
”Young master, young master! Please don’t leave. Such a treasure is only fit for someone as powerful as you. It is a waste for someone like me to have it!” The servant shouted as Fang Zhengzhi prepared to leave.
”You want to give it to me?” Fang Zhengzhi smiled at The servant.
”Ahem...” The servant cleared his throat, ”Why don’t you take a look at it before deciding if you want it?”
”Okay then!” Fang Zhengzhi nodded and turned around. Then, he added, ”I am very busy, be quick!”
”Yes yes yes...” The servant nodded.
He did not caress the box any longer. He simply pressed the b.u.t.ton on the box and it opened.
”Oh? This box is not bad at all.” Fang Zhengzhi’s lips thought to himself, but he did not express it.
The wooden box opened.
A pale green glow came through.
Fang Zhengzhi glanced at it and his eyes brightened.
There was a bow inside the wooden box. Furthermore, it was an exquisite bow. The bow was jade green and inscribed with various patterns. Fang Zhengzhi had no idea what it was made of.
The most important part was the bowstring.
It was covered in extremely tiny black scales. Tiny line like rays of light flowed on the scales.
Even though Fang Zhengzhi had no idea what the bowstring was made of, he was almost certain that this bow was worth a fortune.
How can that bowstring ever be fitted on an unworthy bow?
Good bow!
Fang Zhengzhi subconsciously rubbed his hands together as he took the bow out of the box.
It was heavy and cold to the touch.
It
was a hard bow.
”Young master, how is it? Isn’t it a good treasure?” The servant looked on in antic.i.p.ation as he saw Fang Zhengzhi lift the bow.
”Not bad at all!” Fang Zhengzhi nodded in satisfaction.
”Young Master is someone who knows his stuff. This bow was given to me by my ancestors. It’s initial owner was famed throughout the lands...”
”Just tell me how much you want for it. Like I’ve said before, I’m very busy.” Fang Zhengzhi waved and interrupted The servant.
He knew exactly what The servant wanted to say.
The servant was going to tell him the glorious history of the bow and its famous owners. He will also narrate their contributions.
However, Fang Zhengzhi was not f*cking interested.
In actual fact, when he said he was happy with it, the deal was made. There was no need to waste any more time.
”Since you’re happy with it, I won’t say anymore. Is this figure okay with you?” The servant waved five fingers in front of Fang Zhengzhi.
”Sure!” Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
”You are decisive!” The servant beamed when he saw Fang Zhengzhi nod.
”Naturally.” Fang Zhengzhi took the wooden box from The servant and placed the Sun Shooting Bow inside.
The servant rubbed his hands in antic.i.p.ation as his eyes glimmered
However...
His expression darkened when he looked at the five coppers in his hand. He looked like he was just struck by a bolt of lightning.
”I’m off!” Fang Zhengzhi turned to leave after putting the wooden box in his Heart Protection Mirror.
”Sir, sir!” The servant was getting anxious.
”I told you that I was busy!” Fang Zhengzhi walked on without turning back. He disappeared within an instant.
He left the servant standing by the alley.
”Five... five coppers?! I meant 500,000 coppers!” The servant looked on in disbelief as he looked at the coppers in his hand. He then looked in the direction Fang Zhengzhi disappeared into.
He was stunned for a full 15 minutes before he reacted.
His eyes filled up with tears as he howled. He rolled on the ground before rubbing his face with his mud filled hands.
The mud mixed with his tears and dirtied his face.
Then, the servant lowered his head as he walked down the street. He continued to sigh as he walked, almost as if his mother had died.
There was another figure sauntering behind the servant.
That was Fang Zhengzhi.
”Not a great actor. If not for the fact that you were crying just a little too loudly, I might have actually believed
believed you!” Fang Zhengzhi looked on scornfully.
He did not believe that there was a deal this good.
Since ancient times, there have been many people who have fallen for traps like these, causing them to lose their lives.
It was weird for a servant like that to have a treasure like this. Furthermore, the servant had no skills to speak of, yet he dared to lure Fang Zhengzhi into such a secluded place.
He was trying to make Fang Zhengzhi fall into his trap.
More importantly, the defenceless and innocent looks were all fake.
Fang Zhengzhi felt his money bag. In order for the servant to continue his act, Fang Zhengzhi had to give up 5 coppers.
”I would like to see who this guy works for!” Fang Zhengzhi followed the servant through the streets. Finally, the servant reached the entrance of a teahouse.
The teahouse was constructed using red wood. It was an ancient building. The signboard was red in color.
Fragrance Restaurant!
The servant stopped at the entrance. He looked around to make sure no one saw him, then entered with the crowd.
Fang Zhengzhi followed the servant in.
