Chapter 426: Chapter 427: Negotiations
Upon hearing this, Young Master Mu’s face turned even blacker than the bottom of a pot.
"Do you still want Tian Nan Xing or not?" Young Master Mu growled.
Yang Chuxia rolled her eyes at his words, "Yes, of course I want it. Why wouldn’t I?"
"If you want it, you have to listen to me," Young Master Mu said smugly.
"Young Master Mu, let’s be clear. I need the Tian Nan Xing in your hands. Of course, unless you’ve investigated me, you wouldn’t know about its existence, right? Whether what you’ve done so far is enough or not, let’s not discuss that for now. I just want to ask: what are the conditions to obtain the Tian Nan Xing?"
Since the moment Young Master Mu mentioned Tian Nan Xing, Yang Chuxia figured it out. This man must have sent people to investigate them, or her specifically, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to find Yang Xiaochuan and know about the Tian Nan Xing.
But what does he want to do? Why is he minding her business out of the blue? She’s already given the pearls; she’s already received the Zui Xin Hua she wanted. This should have been a completed transaction, right?
Seeing that Yang Chuxia was being straightforward, Young Master Mu put down his cup and spoke clearly, "I want that little arrow that you used last time."
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia immediately understood. This man had shown a great interest in that little arrow back then. She didn’t expect that he had come all this way just for that arrow.
The little arrow was nothing more than an improved version of a sleeve arrow. Unlike sleeve arrows, which shoot six arrows at once, this one could only shoot one arrow but could be used for six shots without needing to reload, somewhat like a handgun.
She had plenty of these little arrows, so trading them for the Tian Nan Xing wouldn’t be a problem.
"Deal!" Yang Chuxia took out the little arrow from her sleeve. "Tian Nan Xing, please."
"Hold on, I’m not done yet!" As soon as Yang Chuxia took out the little arrow, a hint of excitement flashed in Young Master Mu’s eyes, but he immediately restrained himself and said, "I also want the manufacturing method."
Hearing this, Yang Chuxia quickly hid the little arrow again and sat back down on her stool. She knew that this guy wouldn’t be so simple and that there was more to it than just the arrow. But why should she share the manufacturing method? If it weren’t for his meddling, the Tian Nan Xing might already be hers.
Seeing Yang Chuxia’s silence, Young Master Mu didn’t press her but waited patiently instead. Boss Mu on the side reminded her, "Miss Yang, my cousin here is a famous divine doctor from the Great Zhou. He was born into a medical family and understands prescriptions very well, especially those regarding leg injuries."
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia’s eyes flickered. She looked at Ye Zi’an, who didn’t seem to be in agreement at all. That’s right, for Ye Zi’an, having Tian Nan Xing wasn’t as important as keeping the little arrow’s manufacturing method a secret. That method was like one of Xiaxia’s trump cards, which could be of use in the future. If she handed it over now, she’d lose one of her trump cards.
Boss Mu, any decent doctor can treat my leg injury," Ye Zi’an said clearly. He knew exactly what Boss Mu meant – that Young Master Mu’s medical skills were extraordinary and that he might help treat the injury in exchange for the little arrow’s manufacturing method.
"Alright then," Boss Mu shrugged. He didn’t push any further. After all, he had heard that the two children were no ordinary kids, and he knew that they would understand his intentions.
