"Ten thousand!" Mo Yongxing's eyes sparkled. Everyone thought he was showing off in front of the beautiful woman, but none of them knew his true thoughts. Leng Rou was indeed very beautiful, which he did not deny. However, as the young master of the Mo family, although he had no resistance to beautiful women, he still knew the difference between what was important and what was not. In the current situation, the compass was more important than the beauty.
He had carefully examined the compass and confirmed it was Qin Yu's Feng Shui compass. Although he did not know why Qin Yu's compass was in this woman's hands, that was not the main point. Since the woman wanted to sell it, he would buy it. After paying for it, even if Qin Yu found out the compass was in his possession, there would be nothing he could say.
This was the attitude of someone from a prominent family. Although they might be frivolous, they were never vague about important matters. Some people often thought they were simple-minded, but that was only because the matters had not reached a level that required their serious attention.
"Really a generous benefactor." Leng Rou did not expect that, while she was momentarily distracted, the other party would directly double the price. However, Mo Yongxing's behavior only reinforced her belief that he was a playboy interested in her.
Aside from Leng Rou, the money boss and the two Feng Shui masters were also stunned. They had seen ten thousand yuan before, especially the two Feng Shui masters, who sometimes earned more than that in a single job. However, this was the first time they had seen someone so eager to give away money.
Only Li Bing watched Mo Yongxing's offer with indifference. Compared to the Mo family, ten thousand yuan was a mere drop in the ocean. This young master had spent eighty thousand yuan on a chamber pot without batting an eye, let alone when it came to courting a beauty. In his eyes, the beauty was worth much more than the chamber pot. A beauty could be held in one's arms, but a chamber pot could hardly be taken to bed.
The money boss was initially a bit annoyed by Mo Yongxing's interference, but now he was purely watching the show. After all, he had bought the compass for three hundred yuan, and only made a profit of one or two hundred. One or two hundred was just a fraction of his store's daily revenue. It was not often that he saw a frivolous young man acting as a big spender.
"Ten thousand yuan, I want cash!"
Leng Rou spoke up, thinking this price was reasonable. Once she got the money, she would leave. As for the generous benefactor, he would have nothing to do with her.
"Ah!" Leng Rou's words made Li Bing sigh. Why didn't the beauty wait a bit longer? Ten thousand yuan was not enough to show how wealthy Mo Yongxing was. He should at least have offered seventy or eighty thousand. It couldn't be less than the chamber pot.
After paying the money, Mo Yongxing took the Feng Shui compass and asked Leng Rou with a smile, "Beauty, what is your relationship with Qin Yu?"
"I don't know any Qin Yu." Leng Rou was taken aback, thinking Mo Yongxing was trying to establish a connection with her, and frowned in response.
"Hehe, whether there is a relationship or not, this Feng Shui compass now belongs to me."
Mo Yongxing's face showed a triumphant smile as he carefully caressed the compass. He had seen the strange phenomena of this compass with his own eyes, and the thought of the miniature five-clawed golden dragon made his heart race.
"This thing belongs to you now. I'm leaving."
Leng Rou's goal had been achieved with the ten thousand yuan. She ignored Mo Yongxing's strange smile and walked directly towards the door.
"Mo Young Master, are you just going to let her go like that?"
Seeing Leng Rou walk out of the store, Li Bing was anxious. If she left, where would they find her in the vast sea of people? The ten thousand yuan would be wasted, and they wouldn't even know her name.
"Hehe, what I want is this compass. It's a remarkable treasure."
With the Feng Shui compass in hand, Mo Yongxing no longer hid his intentions, chuckling. Li Bing was puzzled. The two Feng Shui masters had clearly explained that the compass was useless. How could it be a treasure?
"What do they know?"
Mo Yongxing's voice was loud enough for everyone in the store to hear. Ji Quan and Master Pang did not look pleased. Mo Yongxing's words implied that they had made a mistake.
"Does this young man have any other insights?" Ji Quan could not help but ask.
"Hehe, you guys made a mistake. This is a remarkable treasure." Mo Yongxing grinned, completely disregarding the awkwardness his words might cause.
"You made a mistake? Why don't we hear your insights?"
"This compass is called a Feng Shui compass, a magical tool used to locate dragon veins." Mo Yongxing glanced at Ji Quan, knowing the name from Qin Yu.
"Is this compass a magical tool? Magical tools are too common then."
The money boss shook his head. Magical tools were rare in his store, and even those were treasures that were not for sale. He could not believe this damaged compass was a magical tool.
"Hehe, isn't it just a magical tool? We bought one at a street stall."
Li Bing held up the box in his hand. He did not know much about magical tools, but since he had spent eighty thousand yuan on it, it must be genuine.
"Hey, young man, can you show us what magical tool is in this box?"
Ji Quan and Master Pang exchanged glances. Could these two young men be from a Feng Shui family? Had they really made a mistake this time?
"This is a chamber pot used by Master Yang Jiupin." Li Bing, seeing that Mo Yongxing did not stop him, opened the box and took out the chamber pot.
"Ha!"
Ji Quan and Master Pang had been watching Li Bing's hands carefully, but when they saw the entire chamber pot, they could not help but laugh. Even the money boss was trying hard to suppress his laughter.
"Young man, where did you buy this chamber pot?" The money boss's expression was colorful. This was clearly a modern chamber pot. The talismans on it could be bought for a few yuan each in his store. If this was a magical tool, everything in his store could be called a magical tool.
"From a street stall, the same one where someone bought a magical tool last year."
"The stall owner who sold the magical tool last year no longer has a stall. He was so upset about selling a magical tool for a few dozen yuan that he was hospitalized for a month. After he was discharged, he never set up a stall again."
The money boss knew this story well. The stall was near his store, and he often chatted with the stall owner when there was no business. After the stall owner realized he had sold a magical tool cheaply, he spat blood and was hospitalized. After he was discharged, he was much thinner and never set up a stall again.
"You must have been cheated. I know these stall owners well. They never tell the truth. No matter which stall you go to, the stall owner will claim that the magical tool was sold from his stall last year, just to fool you."
"Really? If the stall owner dares to cheat us, I'll go and smash his stall."
"Ah! Young man, don't be impulsive. There are rules in this industry, similar to the antique business. Whether something is genuine or not depends on your eyes. Once you buy it, you cannot go back to the seller, regardless of whether it is genuine or fake. If you buy a genuine magical tool, it's because of your good eye. If you buy a fake, it's because of your poor eye, and you have to accept the loss."
The money boss stopped Li Bing, who was about to rush out to find the stall owner. Li Bing glanced at Mo Yongxing, who gave him a look that said to let it go. He had no choice but to give up.
"Young man, magical tools are not easy to find. Even people in the industry might not recognize them, let alone outsiders. Making a mistake is very common." Ji Quan tried to comfort him, but to Mo Yongxing and Li Bing, it sounded like a taunt, saying they had poor eyes and deserved to be cheated.
"Even if the chamber pot is fake, the Feng Shui compass is definitely not."
"How do you identify a magical tool? What are its characteristics? What is its function?" Master Pang's series of questions left Mo Yongxing speechless. He did not know how to identify a magical tool or its characteristics.
"I have a way to prove it is a magical tool." Mo Yongxing took out his phone and called Qin Yu. He had originally planned to buy the Feng Shui compass without telling Qin Yu, but now, feeling belittled, he could not care less about his original plan.
Since Qin Yu could summon a golden dragon, he must know how to use the Feng Shui compass. As long as he told Mo Yongxing the method, he could summon the golden dragon and show everyone who had made the mistake.
