Chapter 19: Wang He in Astonishment
Jing Yan and Jing Chenxing were just about to leave the Ru Yi Pavilion when they heard Wang He's voice. They both paused.
As soon as she saw Wang He, Jing Yuqin's expression grew a little uneasy. From what Wang He said, it seemed like the Manager knew Jing Chenxing quite well. She glanced at Jing Chenxing and furrowed her brows. If she had known that Jing Chenxing and Wang He knew each other, she wouldn't have humiliated Jing Chenxing and Jing Yan the way she did a minute ago.
But Jing Yuqin wasn't too worried about it. Even though Wang He was the Manager, he couldn't punish her merely for upsetting a friend. At the very least, he couldn't fire her without a legitimate reason.
The way Jing Yuqin saw it, of course, she hadn't crossed any lines when she decided to kick out Jing Yan and Jing Chenxing. The Ru Yi Pavilion really did have a rule that kept regular customers from visiting the second floor. As glorious as they might once have been in the past, Jing Yan and Jing Chenxing were no more than ordinary people now.
"Wang He, I came to see you because we have some sources to sell," Jing Chenxing said, cupping his hands to Wang He.
"Sources for sale?" Wang He looked a little surprised.
When the guard came to Wang He with the information that Jing Chenxing wanted to see him, the guard hadn't mentioned that Jing Chenxing had sources to sell. Wang He would never have guessed that would be the reason for Jing Chenxing's visit. As the Manager of the Ru Yi Pavilion, he wasn't involved in transactions involving sources very often. Besides, previously, Jing Chenxing had never come to see him to sell sources.
"Yes. Jing Yan recently killed some Spiritual Beasts and got some sources that are quite interesting," Jing Chenxing nodded and said.
Wang He turned his gaze to Jing Yan with a slightly intense look.
Wang He knew about this once-brilliant genius. But now the former gloriously shining pearl had lost its luster.
"Sure!" Wang He said with a smile.
Although he didn't think that the two visitors would have much to offer, he decided to help them for Jing Chenxing's sake. As far as Wang He was concerned, considering Jing Yan's fallen rank, he would be lucky to have brought down a couple of First-grade Spiritual Beasts. That was a best-case scenario.
