Chapter 412 Giving Flanders a Little Lesson
Hearing Flander's cunning expression as he said he wanted five thousand gold soul coins.
Ye Qifeng's eyes narrowed immediately. It seems you really think I'm a sucker.
But his expression remained unchanged, still bearing a faint smile, as if he hadn't heard clearly, and he asked Flander again to confirm:
"You just said this crystal costs five thousand gold soul coins? Are you sure it's worth that price?"
Flander lay on the wooden recliner, swaying leisurely, glancing sideways at the murky crystal in Ye Qifeng's hand, a strange glint in his eyes.
He knew perfectly well that it was just a worthless crystal that he had picked up from a small vendor for less than a gold soul coin.
The crystal didn't look good; its surface was uneven, and there were many impurities inside.
If it weren't for his Soul Saint-level Soul Power, which allowed him to vaguely sense that something unusual seemed to be inside the crystal, he wouldn't have put it on the wall for sale.
But precisely because of its unattractive appearance, that crystal sat on the wall collecting dust for countless years, yet it just wouldn't sell.
No customer who came into the shop ever gave it a second glance, let alone bought it.
According to Flander's own estimate, that crystal was worth at most ten gold soul coins, how could it possibly be worth five thousand gold soul coins?
The reason he made such an outrageous demand for five thousand gold soul coins was simply because he saw that the young man in front of him was a wealthy man who didn't lack money, and he wanted to swindle some money to fund Shrek Academy's operations.
After all, Shrek Academy, which he founded, is short of money again.
Now a sucker is right in front of them, and they seem determined to buy that crystal.
If we don't take advantage of him now, when will we ever get another chance?
Flander's eyes gleamed with a frenzied greed for money, but on the surface he feigned nonchalance, spouting nonsense without batting an eye:
"It's definitely worth the price. I spent over ten thousand gold soul coins to get this crystal back then. Selling it to you for five thousand gold soul coins is already at least a 50% discount. I'm selling it to you at a loss."
"Anyway, it's only five thousand gold soul coins. If you want it, pay up. If not, leave now and don't disturb my business."
After saying that, Flanders waved his hand casually and closed his eyes again.
More than ten thousand gold soul coins? And a 50% discount? Do you think we're stupid? I think you want us to rip you off completely, right?
Hearing Flander slurring his words and lying through his teeth, Zhu Zhuqing was furious, her beautiful eyes almost overflowing with anger.
She stared at Flander with icy eyes, wishing she could slap his cunning businessman face.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qifeng wasn't angry, but his smile widened, and his dark, clear eyes calmly looked at Flander.
It seems you're determined to make me a sucker.
While you're absolutely right—this crystal does indeed have a hidden interior and is certainly worth its price—you're clearly talking nonsense and have no idea of its true value.
You want me to spend money to sponsor your Shrek upbringing?
Haha, you're dreaming.
Originally, I just wanted to buy this crystal gold plate and leave, not wanting to deal with you, but you insisted on being greedy and asking me for an exorbitant amount. Since you're so unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.
Thinking of this, Ye Qifeng's eyes narrowed, his smile suddenly vanished, and he flipped his hand to put away the five hundred gold soul coins he had taken out earlier, raising one finger at Flander:
"I can indeed come up with five thousand gold soul coins, but that's all I can give you."
Upon hearing Ye Qifeng say that he actually had the ability to produce five thousand gold soul coins, Flander's heart trembled with excitement, and for a moment he did not hear the "but" that followed.
He suddenly opened his eyes and immediately saw Ye Qifeng's raised finger. His excitement grew even stronger. After a moment's hesitation, he tentatively asked:
"One, ten thousand gold soul coins?"
Ye Qifeng slowly shook his head and calmly uttered a price that Flander had not expected:
"No, it's a gold soul coin."
"What the heck? A gold soul coin?!"
Flander's expression froze, then he jumped up, abruptly straightening up from the wooden recliner, his gaze turning hostile as he looked at Ye Qifeng.
"Kid, what do you mean? Are you just messing with me?"
A faint smile appeared on Ye Qifeng's lips as he tossed the tainted crystal in his hand and looked at Flander, saying:
"Oh? So you weren't joking just now? This crystal shouldn't be worth five thousand gold soul coins like you said, right?"
"Wow, this kid actually knows his stuff? He knows this crystal isn't worth much?" Flander's lips twitched.
But I'm the boss, okay? I set the price. If I say it's worth 5,000 gold soul coins, then it's worth 5,000 gold soul coins. I won't change it no matter what.
Flander's thoughts raced, and he casually lay back down, glancing sideways at Ye Qifeng. He slurred and said in a hoarse voice:
"Kid, one gold soul coin isn't enough. If you want to buy it, take out five thousand gold soul coins. If you don't want to buy it, put that crystal back."
Ye Qifeng's smile remained unchanged as he retorted in the same tone as Flander:
"Five thousand gold soul coins is impossible; one gold soul coin is enough."
As he spoke, he casually flipped out a gold soul coin and flicked it at Flander's feet.
Flander's expression faltered slightly as he stared at the gold soul coin spinning on the ground in front of him.
"The money has been paid, so this crystal is mine now."
Ye Qifeng ignored him, smiled as he finished speaking, and then turned and walked out of the shop.
Zhu Zhuqing turned around and followed.
"stop!"
Just as the two were about to cross the threshold and leave the store, Flander finally came to his senses and suddenly roared like a tiger.
He didn't get up immediately, but instead sat on the wooden recliner, staring at Ye Qifeng with unfriendly eyes:
"Since I opened my shop, Four-Eyed Cat Owl Flander, I have never seen such an arrogant customer as you. You had better give me the full five thousand gold soul coins, or don't blame me for taking them directly from you."
Oh? If deception doesn't work, you're resorting to outright robbery? Ye Qifeng's expression was relaxed and fearless as he spoke in a rather arrogant tone:
"You can give it a try!"
Kid, you're pretty brave, daring to cause trouble in my shop? Trying to force me to buy? Don't you even know who I, Four-Eyed Cat Owl Flander, am? When have I ever suffered such a loss? Looks like I need to teach you a little lesson.
Flander had already decided to teach Yoruichi a lesson.
At this moment, Ye Qifeng's gentle yet somewhat threatening voice suddenly rang in his ear again:
"But I must warn you, if you take action, the consequences could be very serious."
Flanders immediately laughed.
Haha, the consequences are serious? What a joke.
Kid, you probably don't know how powerful I, Flander, am. Do you think I, a Soul Saint, would be scared by an ordinary person like you? You really don't know your own limitations.
I'll show you what the pressure of a Soul Saint really is.
In the blink of an eye, Flander suddenly stood up straight, and at the same time, his level 78 soul power erupted, intending to suppress Ye Qifeng in one fell swoop.
However.
Just as Flander's soul power was about to burst out of his body.
An even stronger, more terrifying, and abyss-like pressure descended from nowhere.
boom--
With a muffled thud, a terrifying pressure descended upon Flander, suppressing the soul power he was about to unleash.
Not only that.
Flander was slammed to the ground with a thud, and the wooden recliner he had been lying on also suffered the consequences, collapsing under his weight.
"A Title Douluo?!"
Overwhelmed by that immense pressure, Flander made intimate contact with the floor of his own shop, unable to move for a moment, his heart filled with horror.
That's right, this pressure of soul power came from a Title Douluo, and a Super Douluo at that.
It was the ghost hidden within protecting Ye Qifeng that unleashed this power.
As a level 96 peak Super Douluo, Gui Mei's control over soul power is extremely refined, almost like an extension of his own arm.
The full force of the soul power acted solely on Flander, without affecting anything around him.
Moreover, the aura of soul power was extremely well concealed, confined only to the small shop run by Flander, while almost no trace of soul power could be detected outside the shop.
Unless the person sensing the ghost's spiritual power level exceeds that of the ghost, or the sensing is done at close range, there is no chance of detecting the soul power aura he releases.
"Damn it, who exactly is this kid? How come he has a Title Douluo hiding behind him?"
Flanders muttered a word of alarm to himself, then immediately cried out in despair:
"You little rascal tricked me."
"You should have told me earlier that you have a Title Douluo behind you."
"If you had told me sooner, I wouldn't have dared to ask you for such an exorbitant amount. I would have given you that piece of broken crystal for free."
"Now that's all, my life is over!"
Looking at Flander, who was being pressed to the floor by a massive pressure of soul power, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but reveal a hint of schadenfreude in her beautiful black eyes.
She knew that the teacher she had just met the night before had made his move.
Ye Qifeng smiled slightly. The reason why Gui Mei made a move was naturally because he had given the order.
A split second before he realized Flander was about to use his full strength, he subtly gestured to Ghost.
However, he didn't really intend to do anything to Flander; he just wanted to teach him a little lesson.
After all, Flanders, aside from being cunning, greedy, stingy, and treacherous, wasn't inherently that bad.
Furthermore, out of respect for Erlong's sister, Ye Qifeng didn't want to argue with him too much for the time being.
As for the future
If he follows that bastard Tang San to deal with the Spirit Hall, it won't be too late to deal with him then.
Ye Qifeng turned to look at Flander and asked him with a smile:
"This crystal costs five thousand gold soul coins?"
Flander struggled to move his head so that his face was facing Ye Qifeng, exhaled a few breaths, and hurriedly said:
"No, no, no need, it's free for you, just take it."
"Very good, you understand. But I did pay for it; this is a normal transaction." Ye Qifeng slowly shook his head, emphasizing:
"This crystal wasn't given to me for free; I paid for it."
"Yes, yes, whatever you say, this crystal will be sold to you, young man."
Flanders nodded repeatedly, then pleaded:
"Um... young brother, could you perhaps ask that Title Douluo to temporarily retract his soul power pressure?"
At this moment, he was extremely uncomfortable under the overwhelming pressure of the title, feeling as if the bones in his body were not his own, as if they had fallen apart like that wooden recliner, and his whole body ached.
Ye Qifeng didn't say much, and casually waved his hand towards a certain place in the shadows.
The pressure of soul power exerted on Flander vanished instantly, and Flander immediately felt a sense of lightness throughout his body, gasping for breath.
Afterwards, Ye Qifeng ignored Flander and left the shop with Zhu Zhuqing, holding the murky crystal containing the golden hue of the crystal.
…………
When Ye Qifeng led Zhu Zhuqing out of Flanders' small shop, they unsurprisingly encountered two people.
It was Tang San and Xiao Wu who were strolling around outside.
Because the shop sign in Flanders was quite unique, it piqued the curiosity of Tang San and Xiao Wu, so they decided to go inside and take a look.
But when they reached the shop entrance, they ran into Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing.
"It's you guys!"
Upon seeing Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing, the rogue rabbit Xiao Wu exclaimed in surprise and instinctively hid behind Tang San.
Tang San frowned slightly, his expression seemingly calm, but he was clearly also a little nervous. He quickly put his body in front of Xiao Wu and protected her behind him.
At the same time, his right hand was hidden behind his back, turning into a bright white jade color, and he secretly touched the "Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon" pendant at his waist.
When Zhu Zhuqing saw Tang San and Xiao Wu, her gaze instantly turned cold, and her pretty face was filled with disdain.
She has absolutely no good feelings towards either of them now.
Ye Qifeng's expression didn't change much; instead, he greeted Tang San and Xiao Wu with great interest.
"Oh? It's you guys. You're also interested in the things in this shop?"
Tang San's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded:
"I was just about to go in and take a look, but I didn't expect you guys to be here too, Brother Ye."
With a barely perceptible glance at Tang Sanzang's right hand behind his back, a deep meaning flashed in Ye Qifeng's dark eyes. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he tossed the crystal tablet in his hand and casually said:
"There were quite a few things inside, but unfortunately, I only found a piece of crystal that wasn't very useful."
"You guys take your time looking around, we'll be going now."
After saying that, Ye Qifeng took Zhu Zhuqing and started walking away.
Tang San didn't believe a word Ye Qifeng said, but his gaze immediately froze when he saw the crystal in Ye Qifeng's hand.
His heart raced instantly, and his eyes flashed with light.
Tang San never expected that he would encounter a piece of crystal gold of the highest quality in this place.
If he could get his hands on this piece of crystal gold, he would obtain the Dragon Beard Needle, the eighth-ranked hidden weapon in the Xuan Tian Bao Lu Hidden Weapon Hundred Solutions.
This way, you'll have another powerful trump card in your hand.
Unfortunately, this piece of crystalline gold ended up in the hands of someone who didn't know its value, saying it was a useless piece of crystal. Haha, what a waste!
No, we must find a way to get it over here.
