181 Gentlemen Fearless??? (2/2)

”F**k man she already died twice and still nothing! What shitty luck...” Fearless grumbled in the guild chat.

”The chance for an item to drop when it's not equipped is much lower. I think you should kill her a few more times and it'll come out!” Ming Du spoke from experience.

”F**k you! The cooldown for [Resurrect] is an hour! And if I kill her too many times they'll start suspecting me!” Fearless replied.

”Well then don't waste your effort. When we get out of this dungeon we can just camp her until she drops it!” Darknorth Fisher suggested. As a professional mercenary, he had met all sorts of players and the kind he despised the most were Sanguine Rose's kind. The ones that repaid kindness with evil were the worst type of scum.

”Heh, there's no need for that Old Fishy. If we just kill her a few times then we'd be letting her off too lightly! Oh right, Frost Blade do you know any level 20 casher that's a Priest? Maybe even from Pure Lands ideally. Even if he's not as long as it's a large guild then it's fine too.” Fearless suddenly asked.

As a regular in the auction house as well as various other third-party sites, Frost Blade was the one with the broadest connections.

'Hmm… I think I do actually. He's called Southern Yama and he's one of the core members of the Pure Lands. We met him back in Desolate City!' Frost Blade replied.

”How's your relationship with him?”

”Not bad actually. He's one of my regulars and he's always asking if I have any good equipment...”

”Alright then go tell him that Sanguine Rose has a top-tier Priest robe that she's trying to sell! And tell him to come to Twilight City.” Fearless chuckled.

”How do you know she wants to sell it?” The others asked.

”It's f**king obvious right? She offended the Quan Zhen Sect for it so she definitely wouldn't dare to wear it! As long as she has even a sliver of intelligence she'll try to get rid of it...”

”... Can you at least tell us what you're scheming this time?” The others uneasily asked. This plan of his involved two of the top guilds in the country so everyone had a sense of impending doom.

”You'll all find out when the time comes!” Fearless cackled.

...

Having died twice in a row without even a chance to retaliate made Sanguine Rose feel incredibly depressed. Although she wasn't exceedingly bright she was an incredibly selfish person. Hence she knew how to scheme against others to a certain degree as well. She had a hunch that Fearless was the one pulling the strings behind the entire battle. However, after remembering how Fearless had seemingly given his all to save the two of them, she started having second thoughts.

”Was it really those guys from the Quan Zhen Sect that were messing with us...” The more Sanguine Rose thought about it the more unsure she became.

After dying twice Sanguine Rose had ended up dropping by one level. This fact alone made her even more paranoid than usual.

”No… This won't do! They're definitely plotting against me! I need to sell this robe away before things get worse!” Sanguine Rose thought to herself.

Thinking of this, Sanguine Rose steeled her heart and made her way to the auction house.

”Southern Yama? What's he trying to add me for?” Sanguine Rose froze.

Southern Yama was a rather well-known expert since he was one of the rare Priests that were level 20. As a Priest herself, there was no way that Sanguine Rose wouldn't know of him.

”Sanguine Rose?” The moment she accepted the friend request Southern Yama immediately sent her a message.

”Yes, I am. Why did you add me for?” Sanguine Rose asked in confusion.

”I heard that you have a Gold tier Priest robe that you're trying to sell?”

”Y… How did you know about this?” Sanguine Rose gulped. This incident had just happened and someone already knew about it? How did word travel so fast?

”That's a trade secret so I'm afraid I can't tell you. So are you willing to sell or not?” Southern Yama asked.

”Yes! Definitely!” However just as Sanguine Rose replied him she immediately regretted her decision. She knew that Southern Yama definitely didn't lack money but her eagerness would make it difficult for her to negotiate a better price now.

When he heard how excited Sanguine Rose was to sell the robe Southern Yama heaved a sigh of relief and casually threw out a price: ”500 gold! Take it or leave it!”

”...” When she heard his reply Sanguine Rose could barely contain her excitement. This wasn't even a weapon! 500 gold was equivalent to 500 000!! Sanguine Rose had only been aiming to sell the robe for at most 300 gold so this figure wildly exceeded her expectations.

”This...” Sanguine Rose didn't know how to reply. On one hand, she wanted to raise the price, on the other she was afraid that she might end up scaring Southern Yama away.

Although Southern Yama was rich, he wasn't a fool. Seeing Sanguine Rose's hesitation he sighed: ”Lady the price I named you definitely isn't low. At the very least I'm sure it's more than what you wanted. I like quick deals so if you want to think about it then forget it...”

Hearing this Sanguine Rose immediately panicked and yelped: ”N... No! Please! 500 then! Where are you? I can send it over to you!”

”No need for that. I prefer to meet in person when I do business anyway. Especially if it's with a beauty like yourself! I'm about to board the airship to Twilight CIty so just wait for me!”

”Ok. I'll be waiting at Han's Inn!” Sanguine Rose replied.

”Ok, sure! See you soon!”
