Chapter 381 - 360: Second Update
"Prince--" Prince Duan had just left the morning court to return home, these past few days his mood had been good, so when he arrived at the bustling streets, he decided to get off and walk a while, only to run into Manager Su from the Famous Collectibles Shop.
"Prince, is it really you?" Manager Su immediately jogged over and performed a greeting with practiced ease, much more familiar than he had been a few days earlier.
"Manager Su, what a coincidence," Prince Duan wondered, could it be that he had changed his mind about something and had come to ask him for a favor?
"Prince, it truly is a coincidence. The two new inkstones that our Old Master brought personally have just arrived, just arrived at the shop. I was just about to go back when, unexpectedly, I ran into you, Prince. It seems that these two inkstone desks really are fated to be with you," Manager Su said, his Forged Robe also looking much more pleasing to the eye than before.
"Are they the two inkstone desks you mentioned last time?" Prince Duan became somewhat nervous, his heart rate doubled. Duanxi inkstones were rare to begin with, and this great merchant from Nanyu actually had three all at once. At this moment, Prince Duan did not doubt in the least that the other party was a great merchant and that the deal was offered with sincerity.
"Prince, would you mind taking a trip there?" Elder Su seemed much livelier than when he had arrived, adopting a posture of humble subservience with eighty percent of the flair.
"I would appreciate it, Manager Su, if you could lead the way--" Prince Duan rubbed his hands together, the excitement on his face undeniable. Regardless of whether he bought anything or not, just to feast his eyes would be worth the trip.
"Waiter, I heard that you’ve received quite a few fine items. This Young Master..."
"Honored guest, we are not open for business today." The waiter at the door glanced at the man attempting to enter the shop, speaking with a distracted air.
The customer was taken aback, somewhat incredulous.
"Isn’t this..."
