Chapter 319 - Pointed and enlightenment! (1/2)

”You.. will buy it?” Na Zem Xi did not dare to believe that he heard Duan Li right.

The mysterious water bucket, despite its ancient origin, has been sitting on the shelf collecting dust for a very long time. He had endured countless ridicules and mockery from others specifically due to this bucket alone!

After all, who wouldn't go insane seeing the price tag on this bucket that was so preposterous?

No matter if it was from an ancient origin, it was still a useless bucket!

”My Lord... ” Guo He almost bit his own tongue in disbelief. Previously, he said that anyone who would buy a bucket at such a price would be fools. Who would have thought that his Lord would be the one to buy it at the next moment?

”Yes. Isn't it just 10 Middle quality spirit stones? I think that this price is fair to be honest.” Duan Li nodded firmly, founding the situation to be entirely normal.

In his opinion, the mysterious bucket from the Empyrean dynasty was a priceless antique given its excellent condition. In addition, this bucket was something that resonated with the Treasure box in his spatial ring. Clearly, the bucket that everyone seemed to look at in disdain was far from ordinary!

”This... well, if Esteemed customer here insist, then its sold for 10 Medium quality spirit stones!” Na Zem Xi hurriedly retrieved the bucket from the shelf and wrapped it like a coiling tornado, faster than anyone they had ever seen before. It appears that he was afraid that Duan Li would change his mind if he were a second late.

Meanwhile, seeing how efficient the seller was, Duan Li couldn't help but to nod his head again in approval.

This is the correct attitude!

”Brother, are you sure about this? Even if you are rich, spending so much for a mere bucket..” Shen Lu sighed helplessly, unable to make sense of the entire situation.

It was not that he was afraid Duan Li would go pauper. After all, there was probably no one who could compare to the wealth of the Imperial Overseer of the Jiu Empire. It was just that he was wary that the infamous scammer in front of them would take advantage of this situation even more.

”Hehe Brother Shen Lu, of all the people that I met, you were the first one to vouch your support for me and I still remember that. This bucket.. while it may appeared to be useless at the moment, my eyes will never be mistaken!” Duan Li said with a confident expression as he stowed the item into his spatial ring. Naturally, he wouldn't be bothered to explain that something was resonating with the bucket.

Immediately after, the reaction from the Treasure box finally died down.

I'll investigate the relationship between the bucket and the treasure box given by Fei Jin Fang later on...

”Eh? Brother.. you mean..” Shen Lu gasped in surprise before he widened his eyes in comprehension.

Indeed! While Brother Duan Li might makes no sense sometimes, he was definitely no fool! Moreover, he seemed to be hinting on gifting me something...

”Does it really has more to it than just a bucket?”

Thinking along this line, Shen Lu and Guo He looked at each other before nodding, deciding to not talk about the matter any further.

Na Zem Xi, seeing how casually the masked man handed him 10 Medium quality spirit stones for a mere bucket as if they were pocket change, and witnessing the subservient attitude of the two fellows behind the other party, immediately realized that the masked man in front of him was probably someone with a powerful background!

This was also the reason why he changed his attitude to become more polite and addressed the unknown masked man from 'Brother', which he would usually call his customer with, to 'Esteemed customer'.

In his personal guide book, there were only three kinds of person that one shouldn't offend no matter what, but befriended with given the opportunity. One was the Emperor of an Empire, two was the royal family, and three was someone with an unknown background but possesses a non-chalant attitude towards wealth, such that not even the word 'discount' exist in their dictionary!

For him, the third one was probably the most dangerous, which he categorized Duan Li into. After all, even the Emperor would at least frown in displeasure hearing such a ridiculous price of a mere bucket, but the masked man in front of him didn't even bat an eyelid to the price tag, nor asked for any sorrts of discounts and only had the looks of a curious expert!

Someone who could view wealth in such disregard was truly unfathomable!
