Chapter 1037: Who Swindled Who? (1)
Translator: Iris8197 Editor: Rock
Hearing Qing Mu’s blunt words, Master Wu turned sullen and stood up with a snort, “Do you know the status of our Wu Family in the Endless City? What makes you believe we need to swindle you? Do you know how many people want to buy that land? You should be grateful for me agreeing to sell you the land!”
He meant that Yun Luofeng should appreciate him for selling a wasteland to her.
Qing Mu’s face darkened and just when he was about to rebuke him, Yun Luofeng suddenly raised her hand and stopped him.
With a wicked smile, she spoke lazily, but there was a thrilling power in her voice.
“What’s the price?”
Qing Mu paused, turned his eyes to Yun Luofeng and tried to stop her. “Miss Yun, that is a wasteland. It’ll be useless for us.”
Not speaking, Yun Luofeng just stared at the middle-aged man with a faint smile.
At first, seeing the girl’s awe-inspiring eyes the middle-aged man hesitated, but when he heard these words he was relieved and burst into laughter.
“Good choice! You have a good eye! My land has a good Fengshui, and even if you can’t plant any medicinal herb on it, you can use it for other purposes! Since you are sincere, I’ll offer you a good price – one hundred thousand taels of silver!”
Yun Luofeng laughed sarcastically, with a mocking smile on her face.
“One hundred thousand taels of silver? That’s ridiculous! No medicinal herb can be planted on your land and it doesn’t have any other use. To be honest, I want to buy it because I lack a training ground. Do you think I will spend one hundred thousand taels of silver to buy a training ground?” The middle-aged man’s eyes darkened. “Then how much would you pay?”
Yun Luofeng smiled, raised a finger and waved it to the middle-aged man.
“One million?” The middle-aged man was getting blacker.
He spent a lot of money to get this land. The land had no problem in the beginning, but one day it suddenly changed and any kind of medicinal herb planted on it would wither. Someone even said this land was probably cursed. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be trying to pass this hot potato to Yun Luofeng.
“No, it’s not one million,” Yun Luofeng shook her head, “I mean I can offer you one thousand tales of silver!”
One thousand tales of silver?
The middle-aged man turned black with anger. “Lady, you can only buy land in the West District at that price, but my land is in the South District. This price is too low.”
Looking at his black face, Yun Luofeng gave a wicked smile, her dark eyes unfathomable.
“Do you choose to leave the land idle, or trade it for a thousand taels of silver? If you could find someone to buy it, I’m afraid you wouldn’t have come here.”
The middle-aged man had thought Yun Luofeng was gullible because she was so young, but it turned out that he was totally wrong and she was quite shrewd.
Her words touched his heart. If he could have found someone to buy this land, he would not have bothered to do this! At the thought of this, the middle-aged man clenched his teeth and said, “Okay, give me one thousand taels of silver and I’ll give you the title deed of the land.”
After all, one thousand tales silver was better than a useless wasteland.
