Chapter 76: A Thousand Golds Can’t Buy My Happiness
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Although Treasure Pavilion earned a lot of money every day, this was the first time Manager Sun had seen someone spend so much money. He couldn’t help but be curious and sent someone to investigate. He heard Ye Xuan’s words, “A thousand gold can’t buy my happiness.”
“Why didn’t such a generous customer come to our Treasure Pavilion?”
No one would ever complain about earning more money. Even a person like Manager Sun was amazed by Ye Xuan’s wealth. Manager Sun didn’t notice the guilty look on the servant’s face when he complained.
Ye Xuan had bought everything from the hawkers along the way. Just as he was about to leave, he heard someone calling him.
“Fellow cultivator, please hold on.”
Turning around, he saw an unfamiliar middle-aged man with a golden abacus in his hand. It was a special magic tool. It was Manager Sun who had the intention of befriending Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan was willing to spend so much money on a stall. Hence, Manager Sun was determined to get this wealthy customer into Treasure Pavilion. He might be able to earn a lot of spirit stones.
Without waiting for Ye Xuan to ask, he introduced himself. “I’m the manager of Treasure Pavilion. Why don’t you go inside and take a look? I’m sure the things inside will be thousands of times better than the ones in the stalls.”
Manager Sun wasn’t bragging. Most top-quality pills, magic weapons, and spiritual pets were in Treasure Pavilion. There was also an auction house in Jingdu. The auction house and Treasure Pavilion took up most of the profits, leaving other shops with tiny profits.
Manager Sun thought that Ye Xuan didn’t know Jingdu very well. He suspected Ye Xuan didn’t know about Treasure Pavilion, which was why he had gone to the stall. Now Ye Xuan would be tempted after the introduction from Manager Sun.
However, Ye Xuan did not even look at Manger Sun. “Treasure Pavilion, I know. It’s the one shop that didn’t welcome me last time.”
Manager Sun’s expression changed slightly. He said embarrassedly, “Did such a thing happen? Is there a misunderstanding?”
A nearby hawker saw Ye Xuan being chased out that day and quickly added, “It’s not a misunderstanding. We all saw it. This gentleman was chased out by your servant.”
Then, the hawker revealed a gloating smile. “Speaking of which, I have to thank you all. If it weren’t for your lowly servant looking down on this generous gentleman, I’m afraid he wouldn’t have come to our place. Otherwise, we will not have the opportunity to earn so many spirit stones.”
Manager Sun’s face suddenly turned gloomy. He looked at the talkative hawker, who quickly hid in the crowd and disappeared. Since the hawker had the supreme-grade spirit stones, he didn’t even need to set up a stall.
For a moment, Manager Sun’s mood was extremely complicated. Initially, his pavilion could have reaped a large number of spirit stones. However, his servant had ruined their precious opportunity.
He felt countless spirit stones flying away from his hands. Initially, the spirit stones in the hands of those small stalls should have belonged to them. When he thought of this, he suddenly flew into a rage.
“Who is it? Hurry and come out here!”
The people of Treasure Pavilion immediately kept quiet out of fear. They looked at each other, no one daring to admit it.
Manager Sun’s voice became colder and harsher, “Who is it? Step out now! Don’t make me come to you personally. Otherwise, all of you will bear the consequences.”
Seeing that the matter had been exposed, the servant knelt in front of Ye Xuan with a ‘plop’ and cried, “I was rude and ignorant. Please be magnanimous. Please don’t hold it against me.”
Ye Xuan hadn’t forgotten how arrogant the servant had been. Now that the tables had turned, Ye Xuan said with a faint smile, “What if I insist?”
The servant was stunned.
“I’m telling you, don’t look down on others in the future. However, I’m not sure you will have a bright future anymore.”
Manager Sun knew how to conduct himself well. Without waiting for Ye Xuan to speak, he directly said, “You’re fired. From now on, you have nothing to do with Treasure Pavilion. Someone, take him away.”
“My Lord, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me.”
The servant was dragged away and kept begging for mercy. Ye Xuan looked on coldly. He had brought this upon himself.
Manager Sun smiled and said, “My subordinate had eyes but failed to see things clearly. I have offended you. Now, this person has no relationship with my Treasure Pavilion. I wonder if you are satisfied with this punishment.”
“Just barely.”
It was also one of the reasons why Ye Xuan had chosen to wander around the stalls near Treasure Pavilion these days. They didn’t let him in back then, but now this group of people wanted to invite him politely.
Manager Sun made an inviting gesture. “Please do me the honor of having a seat. I’ll prepare some tea.”
Since Manager Sun had already said so, it would be rude to refuse. Ye Xuan nodded in agreement. He also wanted to see what good things Treasure Pavilion had.
He led Ye Xuan to the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion, which was used to receive some distinguished guests or people with status.
When the people in the hall saw this, they couldn’t help but look at him. “Who is this person? He looks unfamiliar. I don’t think I’ve seen him before.”
“It shouldn’t be a local sect in Jingdu. Or is he from one of those sects outside Jingdu? ”
They weren’t the only ones guessing Ye Xuan’s identity. Even Manager Sun was curious about Ye Xuan. “May I ask where you’re come from? How should I address you?”
“My surname is Ye, and I am an elder of the Tai Qing Sect. I come here to participate in the sect returning ceremony.”
Manager Sun couldn’t recall anything about the Tai Qing Sect. The name was too unfamiliar, but Ye Xuan was so generous when spending money. Logically speaking, it should not be a small sect.
He laughed awkwardly to hide his embarrassment. “I’m too ignorant to have never heard of your sect.”
Ye Xuan didn’t mind. “That’s normal. We just established our sect last month. It’s a long way from Central Province too. It would be strange if you’ve heard of us.”
Tai Qing Sect was not so famous that even the people in Jingdu of the Central Province knew about it.
