399 Stalking (1/2)
”Let us celebrate for our national athlete, Liu Fei has clinched the gold medal once again and broke the world record at the same time...”
”Yesterday, the mayor visited our school and gave a speech to encourage all the students and teachers of the university...”
”Next up, let us enjoy the song ...”
...
The sweet voice of a lady blasted through the loudspeaker in the school campus.
Fang Yuan laid on the field and squinted his eyes.
”Hey... I've heard that you have applied to graduate!”
Turning his head around, he realised that Lin Xing was next to him with a look of unpleasantness.
”Yeah...”
After a period of interaction, Fang Yuan knew that Lin Xing was not a snobbish person but was merely less sociable.
”It's a pity...”
Lin Xing laid on the field as well and was in a daze.
”Don't think about it too much. Although you have never beaten me in school, you might just do so when we work outside...”
Fang Yuan chuckled.
To think about it, the students who were studying in Xijing University were unfortunate.
If you think that you were a smart person, the university was filled with gifted people! There were even smarter ones above the smartest! To those who were less confident, this would be a heavy blow.
”Go f*ck yourself...”
Lin Xin rolled his eyes and left.
”Fang Yuan... why are you still here!”
Sun Jian rushed his way towards the field. ”Quickly return to your shop. Someone is willing to buy your treasure!”
”Oh!”
Fang Yuan lazily stood up and stretched himself.
”How can you be so composed?”
Sun Jian was stunned. ”This is a business of 300,000 dollars!”
”What else can I do?”
Fang Yuan replied in a calm voice. ”You ran all the way here? You're too nervous. You should calm your nerves whenever something big happens.”
”I... I tried to calm down, but it's 300,000! Just by thinking about it alone would give me the shudders...”
Sun Jian's voice shook as he spoke.
”Alright, I'll go now!”
Fang Yuan shook his head and arrived at Sambhogakaya Monastery with Sun Jian.
His originally empty Heart Questioning House was now surrounded by a group of people, clogging up the entrance to the shop. Most of them were crowding around to see what was inside.
”Come, move aside, the boss is here!”
Sun Jian cleared a path for Fang Yuan. Some of them recognised him as the boss and automatically gave way.
”Boss, you're back!”
Ding Qiuyu ran towards Fang Yuan. ”A foreigner came in and was attracted to the Aquilaria Maitreya. He insisted on buying it!”
”I know, it's been hard on you!”
Fang Yuan entered the shop and noticed a blond-haired foreigner peering through a magnifying glass. He wore white gloves on his hands as he was examining the Aquilaria Maitreya with a serious look.
Behind him, there were two bodyguards in black western attire. There was another female translator as well.
Coincidently, Chen Bo was also there. He now had the responsibility to ensure the security of the place as he glared at the bodyguards.
He had to be careful! If the wooden figure was broken or stolen, his girlfriend would not be able to pay for it. Therefore, he had to get himself involved.
In the Heart Questioning House, Fang Yuan prepared a wooden chair and sat on it. With that, Ding Qiuyu served him his tea.
The old foreigner noticed Fang Yuan and mumbled something to the translator.
”Mr Thomas asks, are you the owner of this shop? He wants to talk to the real owner of this wooden figurine.”
The female translator translated it word for word, but her sentence structure was too rigid and she did not feel local.
'Overseas Chinese? Or another yellow-skinned race?'
Fang Yuan squinted his eyes and the surroundings became translucent and illusionary.
Everyone looked normal except for Chen Bo who had a mild glow in him, signifying that he had the cultivation at the Strength Opening Realm.
The body of the female translator was normal. However, she had black streaks around her body and her lively face started to appear pale and green. A black fog gathered around her forehead.
'From the angle of a cultivator, this lady is either living with an evil being or that she herself has cultivated in evil spells...'
The female translator lowered her head and mumbled a foreign language to her boss. With that, she smiled. ”You are lucky. Mr Thomas said that he is willing to buy your Aquilaria Maitreya for 200,000 Chinese Dollars.”
”Oh!”
Fang Yuan dug his ear with his fingers and gave a look of suspicion. ”Why did I hear that his highest offer was around 50,000 Dollars from the forex?”
Forex meant that through the foreign exchange rate, Mr Thomas was willing to pay a price equivalent to 500,000 Chinese Dollars in his foreign currency.
Of course, the price of this Aquilaria Maitreya could potentially skyrocket in the black market.
”Cough...”
The female translator choked. ”Do you know our language?”
