Chapter 410: Chapter 411: Breaking Pearls to Exchange for Broken Leaves
Upon hearing this, Young Master Mu stopped smiling and stared at Yang Chuxia for quite some time before slowly saying, "Since you know about the Drunken Heart Flower, you should be aware that it doesn’t bloom during this season."
"Mu Family is a well-known medicinal family, and their drugstores are spread across the whole Great Zhou, isn’t it? I can’t believe that a young master of such a family would throw away the fallen petals of the Drunken Heart Flower," Yang Chuxia got straight to the point, causing Mu’s eyebrows to be raised high.
He then clapped his hands and said, "Well, you’re right, this young master is not that stupid." However, his tone changed, and he continued, "But it’s not worth it for you to exchange so many things with me for just a broken bead. Think about it, one Drunken Heart Fruit, a few Drunken Heart Leaves, and even Drunken Heart Flowers?"
Yang Chuxia was speechless and suddenly realized that this young master seemed to be more like a jokester.
"Young Master Mu, I just want a few of your broken flowers and leaves, not gold or silver. Do you know what I am exchanging them with? It’s a pearl, a black pearl! Even a big business like yours may not have many of them, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t be bargaining with me, a little girl, would you? I’m offering you such a precious item for a few broken leaves, and you’re still being stingy!"
Young Master Mu laughed loudly after hearing this. The manager who had come in after him was sweating, as he had never seen his young master laugh this much before. Something was off.
"Interesting, very interesting," Young Master Mu clapped his hands, "I didn’t expect to find such a fun girl in this small place. Alright, let’s do this. Show me your black pearl first, and I’ll see if it’s genuine and of good quality. After that, we can talk about the Drunken Heart Flower."
Yang Chuxia didn’t think too much about it and took out the pearl from her purse to show him since it was normal to check goods.
"How is it?"
Manager Mu’s eyes lit up; the pearl was amazing! It was pitch black like ink and had a bright, glossy finish. Yes, it was so bright that it could reflect like a mirror.
Young Master Mu, who came from a prestigious family, had seen many good things in his life. Although the pearl seemed to be of good quality, he still managed to control his emotions.
"Well, it’s a good pearl."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the young master made a move next second. And not just a random move, he aimed it directly at Yang Chuxia, no, to be more precise, at the pearl in her hand.
Upon seeing this, Yang Chuxia’s eyes narrowed, and she quickly took a step back, hiding away the pearl. She then lifted her left hand, and a small arrow flew out.
Young Master Mu dodged the arrow and took a step back. He looked at Yang Chuxia in astonishment, then pulled the arrow out of the wall, examined it, and said, "It seems that Quanya County is indeed a place where talented people and natural resources converge. Not only can it produce such good pearls, but it also has such a formidable girl. How rare!"
Yang Chuxia was angry and retorted, "People say that the Capital City is under the Emperor’s foot, where people are noble and polite. It turns out it’s not entirely true. Is the prestigious young master here trying to take things by force? Do you think you’re the Emperor?"
"Miss, you can’t say such things irresponsibly," the manager by Young Master Mu’s side became anxious upon hearing the word emperor, "You must not discuss the imperial family privately, otherwise it could cost you your life."
"Give her 5,000 silver taels, I’ll buy that pearl," Young Master Mu said nonchalantly, waving his hand.
"Not for sale. Only Drunken Heart Flowers can be exchanged, nothing else."
"Ten thousand taels!" The young master raised the price again.
"If Young Master Mu is not sincere, then forget it," Yang Chuxia didn’t want to waste any more time, "Is there only one Drunken Heart Flower in the world?"
