579 Uncontrollable Situation (2/2)
”I will buy it with 7,000 high quality Spiritual Stones!”
”Young man! Don't buy their words! What if they change their mind after they get the stones? I have 4,000 high quality Spiritual Stones here, and I can give you a bottle of Jiu Zhuan Golden Black Pills worth 1,000 high quality Spiritual Stones!”
Suddenly, a few old men got into a quarrel.
”Nonsense! Who said I would change my mind?!”
”I was simply telling the truth!”
”When the stone-cutting convention is over, stay here and I will come for you!”
”I'm not afraid of you at all!”
Seeing this, the two Elders from the Jiang Family and the Gong Family respectively sneered and felt happy that they had brought enough stones with themselves. After hearing what Xu Que had said, they also became interested.
Although the tofu would not do them any good, still, it would do great good to the people who were at even higher stages than they were back in the family.
”I will write you an IOU of 10,000 high quality Spiritual Stones,” the Elder of the Jiang Family said, ”and I will let you pick an ancient stone for free later, as long as you give me the last piece of stinky tofu!”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Picking an ancient stone for free?! You know all the stones were carried from the Heaven Dragon Cave!
Even the Elder from the Gong family was stunned and never expected the Elder from the Jiang family to be so generous. ”Young man!” he said. ”I'll also write you an IOU of 10,000 high quality Spiritual Stones, and I will let you pick two ancient stones for free later!”
Hearing this, the Elder from the Jiang Family became angry.
”Three ancient stones!”
”Four!”
Hearing this, people were shocked again.
What on earth is going on?! I can't possibly believe this!
Everyone present knew the relationship between the two families was a rather delicate one. They had competed and cooperated with each other in the past. Recently, the two families were trying to connect through marriage. The stone-cutting convention was also proof of their intentions of mending the bridge between them.
However, their relationship was about to crumble simply because of a piece of stinky tofu.
”Five!” the Elder of the Jiang Family said.
”Six!” the Elder of the Gong Family said.
”Seven!”
”Eight!”
Clearly, something had happened between the two old men. Otherwise, they would not be willing to destroy the relationship between the two families.
At last, the Elder from the Jiang family got the last piece of stinky tofu with the condition of an IOU of 10,000 high quality Spiritual Stones and picking ten ancient stones for free.
The face of the Elder of the Gong Family grew dark. He meant to give a higher price but stopped when a man whispered to him.
Xu Que took the IOU with great satisfaction.
Then, he took out another bag of stinky tofu and poured it into his pot.
Everyone was speechless.
”I am very happy to tell you that those who didn't get any tofu can buy some now! Each piece of stinky tofu costs only nine hundred and ninety eight high quality Spiritual Stones.”
