Chapter 4 (1/2)
Chu Li and Lee Yue stepped into the house of exotic plants, The Floral House
One street away fro Town, crowded and lively, buzzing with traffic However, The Floral House itself was quiet and empty, as if torlds were put beside each other
The facade of The Floral House looked old and weathered It was flanked by a few antique and orna down, but not much else besides
Chu Li wasn't put off by this He knew that their funds followed the season; their income stream only thawed in certain times, and in that time they would collect as much water as it could
He waded through the curtains of The Floral House, where a wide hall opened up before hi smell On an antique display rack werevarious unique plants
An old man at the center with a hair in a co table, leisurely sipping a cup of tea in his hand
As he saw the two custo his arms around
”hello, do have a nice look around, both of you”
Chu Li and Lee Yue's eyesight were iht Orchid Its leaves were a curved bright green, glossy and hydrated They look as if they were arts of jasper, a beauty so ethereal that it seemed extraordinary
The old man approached theht Orchids?”
”Of course, who doesn't?” Lee Yue replied
”How much time does this one have left, shopkeeper?”
”It was just iers;
”At least two months!”
”Ten days” Chu Li smiled
Lee Yue slapped his waist
”Mr Shopkeeper, peel your eyes back, wider!”
”Heheh So you're people frohtly, ”I apologize, then, if that is the case I guess I had better be truthful Yes, it will indeed live for ten days” He wrapped his hand and smiled ”This is the only Orchid imported from the island this year Another such floould take another year to come by! This old o for cheap!”
”Stop trying to play the victim, it won't work on us!”
There are never honest businessmen in the world To be able to open a store here, it was impossible for them to be poor It was obvious that they were laced with money
”Give ht Orchid
The aura of the orchid rushed into his body, co a cycle of the Minute Pulse technique
He pushed out all the energy in a single breath, subduing his happiness This energy was the purest of all! One year! Only one year was needed to build his foundation with this!
Before a word could leave the oldthe curtains open and bending over politely
”Sister, after you — !”
”I would o in first, brother!”
A stunning young e strides into the house His face was as clear as jade, his brows and eyes sword-like Longsword strapped to his waist, he appeared full of energy, and looked around with an air of pride It was none other than Zhuo Fei Yang Zhuo
Behind hiraceful, and the other one was Zhao Ying Zhao, skin as fair as snow
Chu Li and Zhuo Fei Yang's eyes connected, and sour expressions overcame their faces
Chu Li looked at Zhao Ying
He activated the Ohed in relief Luckily, Zhao Ying had not taken a liking to Zhuo Fei Yang She even brought another woman as a partner
”Why are you here?” Zhuo Fei Yang questioned Chu Li
”That's interesting, there's no reason why I can't be, is there?” Chu Li replied with a cold laugh
”A servant of no ranking who can't even afford grass, and now he's hereshopping just to satisfy his cravings? Pathetic”
”Oh,sure likes to stick his nose everywhere!” Chu Li remarked sarcastically
Lee Yue could feel the at to sour They were in the presence of Zhuo Fei Yang, a genius If they actually thren, nothing good would come out of it!
He quickly wrapped his hands and tried to slip in a sentence, ”HahaBrother Zhuo! Lady Zhao! I am Lee Yue of the East Garden!”
Zhuo Fei Yang glared at hiaze of ice
Clad in a lake green gown, Zhao Ying smiled at Lee Yue, ”Brother Lee”
Zhuo Fei Yang, still looking at Chu Li fro to stay? Good servants don't obstruct their masters, you know?”
”Zhuo Fei Yang Zhuo, it's really unbelievable that you take people seriously when they call you a genius”
”Of course I' brimmed with pride ”It doesn'twith no foundation, no?”
”Ha…, even if you are a genius at martial arts, you're still an idiot without a brain!”
Zhuo Fei Yang clenched his teeth, regarding Chu Li the sa in this world, Chu Li! I'ht Protector, and I'll reach seven by this year What about you? Still a servant without proper ranking You'll have to spend another twenty years to even reach rank eight, assuo and slip up! With your terrible personality, there's no way that won't happen!”
”Even if your ence the only thing you're good for is being so else you can do!”
”That's still leaps better than what you can do!” Zhuo Fei Yang replied
”Zhuo Fei Yang! Chu Li —!” Zhao Ying sto
Zhuo Fei Yang's expression softened in an instant, before asking Zhao Ying gently, ”What do you think about this Moonlight Orchid?”
”It's very pretty, but far too expensive!” Zhao Ying shook her head, refusing to budge Zhuo Fei Yang tore his gaze fro and said,
”Zhao Ying, let us go elsewhere It's off-putting to stay in the same room with a certain piece of trash”
”Chu Li” Zhao Ying sighed apologetically She knew that bringing the two together would inevitably cause trouble
Chu Li signaled his nonchalance to the ether
”Phew…” Lee Yue took a long sigh, looking at Chu Li helplessly, ”Brother, you”
Zhuo Fei Yang was a true genius He would definitely beco naer hiht be consequences
Chu Li disregarded Lee Yue,
”Please name your price, Mr Shopkeeper”
The old man smiled ”We have a deal, two hundred taels!”
