Chapter 61

Tang Zheng held Feng Le's hand tightly, repeatedly saying "long admired" for at least a dozen times, as if he wanted to admire him all the way back to his eighteenth-generation ancestors.

Feng Le tried several times to pull his hand away, but failed every time.

If he could have succeeded, that would have been a coincidence!

Tang Zheng was pressing the Shaofu acupoint on Feng Le's hand. Without using star power, just a light press was enough to control anyone with insufficient PK experience.

After saying "long admired" for a dozen or twenty times, Tang Zheng finally let go of his hand: "Brother Feng Le, you really want the Purple Jade True Phoenix Pendant?"

When he called him "Brother Feng Le," he saw Feng Le's eyes flicker!

Clearly, the other party did not want to be called brother at all!

Feng Le calling Tang Zheng brother was just for show, but if Tang Zheng took it seriously, it would be an insult to Feng Le.

Tang Zheng had seen many wealthy patrons in his previous life, so he was not surprised by this "tangled and annoying" so-called gentlemanly demeanor. He immediately continued: "Actually, transferring the Purple Jade True Phoenix Pendant to you is not impossible..."

All the Tang Family Manor disciples and the onlookers held their breath.

A few buyers who had just made purchases did not leave immediately, wanting to see the commotion.

Because, from the tone of Tang Zheng's words, it seemed there was room for negotiation?

"The direct disciple of the Heavenly Mandate Sect has even shown his star constellation, what else is there to say? It must be given, right."

"Being a guest of the Tang Family Manor is definitely not as enjoyable as being a guest of the Heavenly Mandate Sect..."

"The Heavenly Mandate Sect's disciples don't bully him, and they pay the full price, what's not enjoyable about that?"

Feng Le stood among them, hearing their words, and a faint smile slowly spread across his lips.

So, that person was just a guest of the Tang Family Manor.

Even the Lord of the Tang Family Manor, upon seeing the clan-level star constellation of the Heavenly Mandate Sect—the Red Beast of Heaven—and acknowledging his status as a direct disciple, would probably hand over the Purple Jade True Phoenix Pendant without hesitation!

Just as Feng Le's chin lifted a bit higher, Tang Zheng's voice, laced with a smile, came again: "You can leave your contact information..."

Feng Le frowned: "What for?"

"If one day I don't want to use it anymore, or if I find a better pendant, I can give you a second-hand one." Tang Zheng said seriously.

"..." Feng Le took a deep breath but couldn't exhale.

"Um, the price can be a bit lower. Since the Purple Jade True Phoenix Pendant is a Qingke pendant, even if it's second-hand, the price can't be too low!"

"..."

"How about reducing it by a hundred pieces of purple gold?"

The Tang Family Manor disciples were almost unable to hold back their laughter. The Purple Jade True Phoenix Pendant was sold for 180 pieces of purple gold in the inner hall of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. If Tang Zheng sold it for 300 pieces of purple gold, reduced by a hundred, he would not only be selling a second-hand item but also making a profit of 20 pieces!

Indeed, business should be done this way!

Feng Le's smile was already starting to crack...

"Ha ha." He gave Tang Zheng a deep look, didn't say much, and forced a final "gentlemanly demeanor" smile before turning to leave.

Who knew, as soon as he left, all the Tang Family Manor disciples behind him responded with a "Ha ha!"

Feng Le almost lost his footing and fell to the ground.

Although "ha ha" itself was not a problem, for some reason, hearing that uniform collective "ha ha," his years of cultivated gentlemanly demeanor were instantly burned to ashes by an unknown fire!

...

Back inside the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, Tang Zheng grabbed a seven-colored silk thread and began processing it.

The seven-colored silk thread quickly changed from gray to a lustrous, dazzling color in his hands.

Ban Yilou helped him process the materials while glancing at him: "That's a direct disciple of the Heavenly Mandate Sect. Aren't you afraid he'll come to cause trouble?"

"How could he?" Tang Zheng waved his hand and laughed, "Just by looking at that young master, he's a man of honor. How could he do such a thing?"

"Then why did you hold his hand for so long and rub so much Dark Soul Incense on it?" Ban Yilou looked at Tang Zheng's hand with disdain, already immune to his nonsense.

"Do you need to ask who the Treasure Gathering Pavilion sells things to?" Tang Zheng rolled his eyes, "At your age, you're still as gossipy as a young person!"

"Is that gossip? I'm an old man, and I'm thinking about the Treasure Gathering Pavilion's business and your safety." Ban Yilou puffed out his cheeks.

Tang Zheng smiled: "Is the Heavenly Mandate Sect so powerful? Would they dare to touch someone from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion?"

Ban Yilou puffed out his chest: "Of course not."

Tang Zheng said, "Oh, then what's the problem?"

"But what do you have to do with the Treasure Gathering Pavilion?"

"Don't you know? I'm the seventh great-uncle of someone..." Tang Zheng waved his hand, "Enough talk! Let's focus on the task. What's the next step after processing the materials?"

Ban Yilou looked suspicious.

From past experience, after Tang Zheng changed the subject, something exciting was bound to happen soon.

...

The sun gradually set.

Tang Xiaotang and the others took turns to have dinner and continued working under the night sky.

Tang Zheng, who had been listening to Old Ban's casting tips and cultivating star power inside the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, looked at the sky and finally stopped.

He used the hand that had shaken Feng Le's to hold up a small tray that looked like a mosquito coil.

Instantly, a small red dot appeared on it.

"Old Ban, what's the shop about five or six places to the right from here?" Tang Zheng asked.

"Edgeless Winehouse." Ban Yilou glanced at the tray, "The Dark Soul Incense reacted?"

"Um." Tang Zheng grabbed a bottle of powder from the outer hall and said to Ban Yilou, "Take the money from the bag yourself."

Before Ban Yilou could say anything, Tang Zheng flashed out of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion's door.

Outside the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, Tang Xiaotang and the others were still busy.

Tang Zheng's eyes scanned the area and quickly found a figure: "Azhi, Azhi!"

Azhi turned his head, glanced at him, and reluctantly moved over...

Tang Zheng reached out and patted his head.

Azhi's breath caught, and he stared at Tang Zheng with wide eyes—this time, he was mentally prepared, but he still couldn't dodge!

"Azhi, come here, I have a secret to tell you." Tang Zheng smiled slyly.

"..." Azhi felt it was bound to be no good, but the word "secret" piqued his curiosity.

Tang Zheng lowered his voice and whispered, "Actually, I have precognition."

Azhi gave him a strange look and pouted, "Uncle, get it straight! I'm twelve years old, not two!"

"Don't believe me?" Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes.

"Don't believe!" Azhi answered firmly.

"Then do you want to bet?" Tang Zheng smiled.

"..." Azhi looked at him suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "How do we bet?"

He had been with Tang Zheng for several days and wouldn't fall for his tricks so easily.

Tang Zheng continued in a low voice, "It's simple, rock-paper-scissors!"

He explained the rules of rock-paper-scissors to Azhi.

Azhi nodded, "Okay, very fair! Only if you really have precognition would you know what I'm going to do next."

Tang Zheng smiled and nodded.

So, the two of them started playing rock-paper-scissors.

Once, twice, three times...

Five times, ten times, twenty times...

Azhi's eyes, which were initially dismissive and cold, became increasingly shocked.

After losing thirty times in a row, he looked up and stared at Tang Zheng.

"How about that?" Tang Zheng rubbed his sore wrist.

"Hmph," Azhi turned his head, "I'll admit defeat. What do you want me to do?"

Tang Zheng smiled and pointed to the "Edgeless Winehouse" flag flapping in the wind, asking, "See that?"

Azhi nodded, "Do you want me to destroy that shop? No problem, wait here."

"Stop right there!" Tang Zheng's smile froze, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat...

"What?" Azhi tilted his head.

"Come on!" Tang Zheng gave him a light tap on the head, "Let's go eat at that winehouse!"
