Chapter 455: Four hundred fifty-five, The Old Drunkard’s Intentions
To dodge the pursuit of the woman in black, Yun Xiao indeed appeared a bit travel-worn, and since he always preferred wearing plain clothes, he naturally looked like a country bumpkin.
The stall owner not only resembled Gong Qizhen, the Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion, in demeanor, but also in shrewdness. Although most of the items on display were fakes, he convinced himself that they were valuable treasures.
How could a seemingly impoverished country lad have the money to buy these "Treasures and Rarities"? Such a poor boy does not even have the right to take a glance.
"Hehe, doesn’t the owner display these items for people to see?"
Yun Xiao was not offended; he was aware of the merchant’s snobbery. Only if you become a favored customer would they probably treat you with respect.
"Looking is fine, but don’t touch with your hands, if you damage anything you won’t be able to afford it!"
With that, the stall owner didn’t drive him away but glanced at Yun Xiao, speaking in a way that showed he didn’t believe this young man could afford these "treasures."
"Owner, how much for this stone?"
Indeed, Yun Xiao did not touch those "treasures" but pointed at a stone of irregular shape and inquired. This question immediately caught the stall owner’s attention.
"Could this kid actually be a big spender?"
The stall owner mused, his expression softening somewhat. With a quick glance around, he replied, "My friend, you truly have an eye for quality. This ’Dragon Seeking Divine Stone’ you ask about is the most precious item at this stall."
