"Liu Jie, I've bought twenty thousand sand coin stones!"
"Hurry to the Star Picking Tower and sell these sand coin stones to Chen Nan!"
Back at the Liu Mansion!
Liu Sifang, his face full of excitement, handed the storage bag filled with sand coin stones to his nephew. He glowed with fervor, "I've been doing business for hundreds of years, always accumulating small amounts into large ones!"
"Never before have I earned one hundred and forty thousand high-grade immortal stones in one go!"
"Today is July eighth, isn't it?"
"Truly a good day!"
"This date must be remembered!"
"Uncle, just watch!" Liu Jie said excitedly, "I'll head to the Star Picking Tower now and complete the final transaction with Chen Nan!"
With that, he flew out of the Liu Mansion!
Liu Sifang looked at Liu Yingying and said softly, "My dear, I know you hate Chen Nan to the bone!"
"You wish you could cripple his cultivation immediately and make him your male servant!"
"But..."
"This guy still has value to exploit!"
"Don't worry, after I've squeezed every last bit of his value out!"
"I will definitely find an opportunity to lure him out of Zhongzhou City!"
"Send someone to cripple his cultivation and make him your male servant!"
-----
Star Picking Tower!
Liu Jie excitedly entered a private room and said to Chen Nan, "Brother Chen Nan, good news, good news! I've gotten those twenty thousand sand coin stones!"
Chen Nan was overjoyed, "Brother Liu is truly capable, to have actually acquired those sand coin stones!"
Liu Jie took out the storage bag, "Come, take a look. Here are twenty thousand sand coin stones!"
"If everything is in order, we can complete this transaction."
Chen Nan took out some sand coin stones and played with them in his hand, "Brother Liu, do you know the true purpose of sand coin stones?"
Liu Jie couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say it was for setting up formations?"
Chen Nan nodded, "At first, I also thought sand coin stones could be used to set up formations!"
"But..."
"I later heard that this claim is a rumor!"
"Brother Chen Nan, what do you mean by that?" Suddenly, Liu Jie felt uneasy!
He had a sense of foreboding!
Chen Nan smiled, "Brother Liu, don't rush, I haven't finished speaking!"
"The matter of sand coin stones being used for formations is indeed a rumor!"
"But there are other uses."
"I heard that fishermen by the South Sea often use sand coin stones to insult people!"
"For example, giving someone a sand coin stone!"
"It implies the recipient is a fool!"
Liu Jie gulped, "Let's not bother with these things for now. Hurry up and give me the money!"
"According to our prior agreement!"
"You are to pay me forty-four thousand high-grade immortal stones!"
Chen Nan no longer pretended, a disdainful smile appearing on his face, "Spending forty-four thousand high-grade immortal stones to buy twenty thousand sand coin stones? Do you think I'm an idiot?"
A simple sentence!
Made Liu Jie's scalp tingle and his hair stand on end, "What do you mean? You're going back on your word?"
"Damn it!"
"Chen Nan, you can't do this!"
"Do you have any sense of contractual integrity?"
"And do you have any sense of contractual integrity?" Chen Nan said with a cold smile, "Oh right, should I call you Liu Jie, or Liu Ming?"
"You... You know my identity?" Liu Jie's scalp exploded!
Chen Nan knew his identity, this was something he hadn't anticipated!
This meant!
They thought they were treating Chen Nan as a clown!
But in reality, they were the true clowns!
Everything they had done was under the other party's control!
At this moment!
He felt only fear!
He never imagined this handsome man would be so insidious!
"Don't treat everyone as a fool!" Chen Nan raised his wine glass and took a sip, "Actually, I knew your identity the moment you appeared!"
"Because other than the Liu family, no one else could produce two hundred thousand high-quality jade stones!"
Despair!
At this moment, Liu Jie felt a despair he had never experienced before!
Chen Nan said nonchalantly, "You did this, nothing more than wanting to extort me."
"As the saying goes, cast a long line to catch a big fish."
"Even if I get cheated this time, so what?"
"After all, you also gave me two hundred thousand high-quality jade stones!"
"These jade stones truly solved my urgent problem!"
"As for their use..."
"You will soon know!"
"Of course!"
"The sand coin stone matter was also orchestrated by me!"
"Only in this way can I bite you back!"
Liu Jie was furious, "You colluded with Master Jiu? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"How could such a prominent figure be willing to take your orders?!"
"I won't believe your lies!"
Just then!
Ao Jiu pushed the door open. He glanced coldly at Liu Jie and bowed to Chen Nan, "Greetings, Master!"
"Boom!"
Those simple four words!
Struck Liu Jie like lightning!
Damn it!
What the hell was going on?
How could the high and mighty Master Jiu call Chen Nan master?
Too many questions flooded Liu Jie's mind!
He knew Master Jiu had lived in Zhongzhou City for over a thousand years!
And Chen Nan had only been here for how long?
How could even Master Jiu call him master?
The timeline didn't match!
Chen Nan said calmly, "No need for formalities!"
Ao Jiu stood up and produced a storage bag that felt very familiar to Liu Jie, "Master, here are three hundred thousand high-grade immortal stones!"
"Earning wealth that could rival a nation with a little bit of strategy, Master is truly of unparalleled wisdom!"
Liu Jie almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
This was the wealth the Liu family had accumulated by pooling many of their industries!
Now it had all gone to Chen Nan...
At this moment!
He felt murderous intent!
Kill Chen Nan, seize the three hundred thousand high-grade immortal stones!
And the more than three thousand spiritual herbs in his storage bag!
But he ultimately gave up this unrealistic idea!
Because he was no match for Chen Nan at all!
Not to mention Master Jiu was an Immortal Emperor level expert!
If he truly made a move...
He would be instantly annihilated!
"You can go back and report," Chen Nan casually put away the storage bag containing the three hundred thousand high-grade immortal stones and said lightly, "Also, tell Liu Sifang that our account is not yet settled!"
"Let him prepare himself for the destruction of the Liu family!"
Liu Jie's face was filled with rage, "Chen, we'll see about this!"
"No one can provoke the dignity of my Liu family!"
"And you are no exception!"
After leaving a harsh threat!
He flew directly out the window!
With such a major event occurring!
He had to inform his uncle immediately!
------
Liu Mansion!
Liu Sifang was sitting on a lounge chair, looking intoxicated. A maid was massaging his legs beside him!
And someone was singing a little tune!
As the richest man in the Wu Kingdom, Liu Sifang certainly knew how to enjoy himself!
"Uncle, something has happened!"
Following an anxious shout!
Liu Jie landed before him, his face filled with terror, "We've been tricked by Chen Nan!"
"That guy didn't fulfill his promise!"
"All the sand coin stones we bought at a high price are now useless!"
