“Before our young master left, he didn’t say when he would return. He might return within the time taken for one incense stick to burn, or he may take one or two years, I’m not sure about the exact timing.” Chief Steward He said with a smile, “Even though our young master’s not around, this won’t affect our business transactions with Craftsman Tong. Before young master left, he had specifically instructed me to treat Craftsman Tong well when you came to our pavillion to make a sale or purchase. He had also told me to give Craftsman Tong the best and fairest price that you would be most satisfied with.”

Chief Steward He’s words were extremely pleasing to the ear, so much so that even though Tong Le was not in a good mood right now, he couldn’t help but calm down a little.

He couldn’t lose his temper at this Chief Steward He who always wore a smile on his face.

Wu De said, “Craftsman Tong, the young master had even given Chief Steward He special instructions to take care of you, he must care about you a great deal.”

“Yeah~ The young master only comes here a few times each year and you’re not in urgent need of money anyway, so why not you just sell your equipments first?” Someone else who had followed him along added.

Tong Le’s sharp gaze coldly swept over him, and the man couldn’t help but shrink back.

A lack of money is a problem that many cultivators face. It’s just that, when it’s mentioned so outrightly like this, it still made Tong Le feel like he had lost face. Also, with Lin Xuanzhi around, it made him feel even more embarrassed.

Tong Le said impatiently, “Fine then, let’s go to the room we used last time.”

Big boss He thus brought Tong Le upstairs.

Lin Xuanzhi then heard some cultivators engage in a lively discussion.

“Tong Shixiong is really amazing, he must be the only craftsman within our batch of Profound Sky Sect disciples who can go to the fifth floor ba?”

“That’s right, and I heard that when he comes here to sell his equipments, that elusive young master would always receive him in person. And I’ve heard that that young master is the type to pay attention to no one.”

“Then doesn’t that mean…that young master is interested in Craftsman Tong in that way?”

“Ah? Are you serious? But then again, the young master is so rich, young and handsome while Craftsman Tong is extremely talented and has an excellent character…so they do seem like a match made in heaven.”

“Yeah. He’s not like some people who had already been chased out of Profound Sky Sect, but instead of finding some desolate place to end their pitiful life, would still dare to show up here to try and find some sense of purpose in their hopeless lives…The people these days…”

Lin Xuanzhi thought that they were pretty amusing. This is really some stroke of unexpected misfortune; he was just standing here without talking or doing anything yet others would still take the initiative to help him reinforce his sense of presence.

A waiter who looked to be about 15 or 16 years old walked over, looked up at Lin Xuanzhi, then whispered timidly, “Dear guest, are you interested in buying anything, or do you have any questions?”

Lin Xuanzhi had never seen this small waiter before. But he had delicate facial features, clear eyes and was extremely polite, so he did look like a pure and kind-hearted boy.

Lin Xuanzhi thus asked, “I’ve never seen you before, are you new?”

The waiter nodded, then said with a slight blush, “I’ve only been here for three months, but my sales performance hasn’t been very good. You’ve probably never seen me before, you can just call me Xiao Lou.”

As he spoke, the small waiter looked at the row of gold-plated waiter portraits on the wall and couldn’t help but reveal an envious and longing look. Those gold-plate waiters were the top ten in terms of their sales performance, and they could earn up to 10 000 gold every month. The Fang Yu who had ran the fastest just now was ranked first amongst all the waiters here.

However, no matter how much those who were downstairs envied him, they couldn’t fight with Fang Yu’s judgment and eloquence. When major clients came over, these gold-plate waiters would all run over to them one faster than the other, so Xiao Lou didn’t even stand a chance.

Also, most clients had a designated waiter that they would always call upon. Since Xiao Lou was quite a shy and introverted person, he wasn’t very good at talking and flattering clients so it was normal for his sales performance to remain stagnant.

Lin Xuanzhi smiled slightly and said, “I have something I plan to get off my hands, but I need your young master to take a look at it first.”

Xiao Lou revealed am embarrassed look, then said, “But I can’t see our young master.”

Lin Xuanzhi looked upstairs, then said, “I don’t need you to give it directly to your master. You only need to pass it to Chief Steward He and let him know about my request.”

Xiao Lou hesitated for a short moment, then gritted his teeth and nodded, “Ok, I’ll try.”

He had never gone directly to Chief Steward He before. And whenever Chief Steward He saw him, he always looked like he wanted to sigh.

Lin Xuanzhi took the wine bottle he crafted out of his storage bag and passed it to Xiao Lou.

Since the wine bottle was crafted purely by hand and didn’t have any added buffs from a forged engraving pen, its appearance leaves a lot to be desired. It thus looked much more dull than most of the magic tools in this shop.

But Xiao Lou looked like he was reporting a treasure as he carefully hugged the wine bottle in his arms. When he passed by a few gold-plate waiters who had gathered around with the intention of watching a show, he heard them ridicule him.

“Xiao Lou, you managed to get another piece of trash.”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Why can’t you ever learn how to distinguish treasures from trash? And to think you’re Chief Steward He’s relative. Or else, with how clumsy and stupid you are, you would’ve been chased out of here a long time ago.”

“Ai, our Hidden Tools Pavillion is really becoming more and more like a charity organization.”

Xiao Lou’s face alternated between white and red as he ran upstairs with a lot of pent-up frustrations.

When Yan Tianhen saw Lin Xuanzhi, he said, “Dage, isn’t that young master not around today?”

Lin Xuanzhi gave Yan Tianhen a look that said ‘don’t worry’, then said, “When the young master wants to be around, he’ll be around. When he doesn’t want to be around, naturally he wouldn’t be.”
