"Madam owner, if you want them to stop causing trouble, give us the clothes that are on our young miss."
"..."
This is like taking advantage of a situation
"Why don't you go rob someone!!" The madam owner shouted angrily. A small servant boy, why should I be polite to you.
"This isn’t robbery, this is haggling, let’s all be reasonable and not get so angry; otherwise the losses will be huge. Eh, what are you guys looking at me for Miss Ling Xiao, continue hitting them, don't stop or I won’t be able to bargain properly." Carefree noticed everyone was staring at him and casually replied before continuing to haggle with the madam owner, "How about it, madam owner, have a think about it!"
"..."
This Carefree really doesn't know what he’s capable of! Black Tortoise Ling Xiao was very interested in watching Carefree. She kept finding that Carefree was more and more fun as time went on; he could even do something like this.
If Carefree knew her thoughts, he would answer: This is a responsibility, servants have to get the greatest benefits for their masters. We can do shameless things if you can be our umbrella, it’s your business to fight and so forth.
"Think nothing of it, I won’t put up with this! You guys want to fight then go ahead!" The madam owner said angrily; she was a little crazy from anger.
"Madam owner, you just said so yourself. Miss Ling Xiao, please hit them for a while, there’s no need to protect the clothes on your body as it has already been agreed by Madam Owner that if the clothes get damaged, we can still return them without paying." Carefree laughed and said.
"..." The madam owner suddenly realized that the clothes Carefree wanted were those worn by Black Tortoise Ling Xiao. When she was hit, there would definitely be damage to it.
"Hold on a moment, what if I give you ten taels This is my biggest concession." Suppressing her anger, the madam owner said, Only then can I minimize my losses; I’ll have to endure all this humiliation.
At this point everyone felt that Carefree had succeeded. From one hundred taels to ten, it was something that never happened before and they had already gained a great advantage.
Even though Carefree was shameless, the others felt having such a servant wasn’t bad at all. They could save money with him, don't mention face, as this isn’t our doing anyway.
But then again, Carefree went beyond everyone’s expectations and waved his hand, extending one finger— "No can do, it’s got to be one tael!"
"..."
"Kid, you’re not being too much My clothes are made with the finest materials, after two months of work by the best tailor in the Azure Dragon Empire, and you want me to sell them for a silver tael Do you expect the tailor master to starve or do I have to suffer" The madam owner was angry again. This brat was too annoying.
"Carefree, that’s enough already! Ten taels is a good deal!" Black Tortoise Ling Xiao spoke up.
"That’s right, kid, you’re being unreasonable!" Vermilion Bird Thunder condemned Carefree for not knowing the value of things; if he sold them for one tael, didn’t that mean they were overpaying before and becoming fools
"No, Miss Ling Xiao, this piece of clothing is worth no more than a silver tael. I’m not being unreasonable." Carefree shook his head. "Of course you’re the miss; it’s up to you!"
"You brat, if you don’t know what something is worth then shut your mouth! Do you think that the clothes here are as worthless as those on you Really never seen anything better before, Ling Xiao of Black Tortoise, you should teach them a lesson!" White Tiger Yingqiong scoffed from beside her.
"Is it me who doesn’t know what something is worth or you" Carefree said calmly. "Madam owner, I don’t think that you know that the making of this clothing is not very good; it uses a hard needlework method..."
"You actually know about the Hundred Flowers Needlework Method" The madam was somewhat surprised. Those who knew about the Hundred Flowers Needlework Method were top-notch tailors and if she wasn’t in this business, she wouldn’t know either. She believed that none of the women buying clothes here would be aware of it; from this point alone, it showed that this brat did understand things better than them.
But why was he saying it’s not worth anything then Did he deliberately want to provoke her
Screw it, since he could tell about the Hundred Flowers Needlework Method, he must have some ability. I’ll sell this at a loss for him! The madam decided she would sell this at a loss; anyway, it wouldn’t be much of one.
At the same time, seeing her reaction, White Tiger Yingqiong felt somewhat embarrassed because she understood that Carefree was mocking her. This brat not only knew what something was worth but also had many other skills too!
No, this might just be a coincidence!!
"Yeah, I know some things; the person who made this clothes is definitely not an expert hand; there are flaws in the Hundred Flowers Needlework Method. Although it’s not fatal, but it does make the value of these clothes less and so they’re worth no more than one tael!" Carefree continued.
"Flaws This is impossible! It was made by Master Wu who is a top-notch tailor; he couldn’t have failed." The madam replied and glared at him with disdain.
"If this counts as a top-notch tailor, then I’m one too. Miss Ling Xiao, we don’t even need to pay the silver tael, just buy some cloth and let me make you another set," Carefree looked down on the madam; she disrespected him, so he would naturally do likewise.
"You can also sew" Black Tortoise Ling Xiao watched in surprise at Carefree. She knew that Carefree could raise beast spirits and was skilled with beast spirit medicine as well as fixing and repairing books; these two skills alone were already pretty impressive, but now she heard he could even sew.
"I know a little bit; we servants must be able to do a little of everything." Carefree laughed.
"Oh, I see."
The shop owner became even more disdainful after hearing Xianyao's words. "He dares to compete with our master just because he knows a bit!"
"Do you know what it means to be modest Quickly call your master over so that I can see if he’s really the one who made this outfit," Xianyao replied.
"You tell me to do something and I’ll just do as you say, who do you think you are" The shop owner wouldn’t pay attention to what Xianyao was saying. She thought that Xianyao was just a little house servant after all.
"Go call someone over, I want to know the outcome!" Lingxiao of Black Tortoise responded immediately. She would naturally support her own people. Moreover, she wanted to find out if this piece of clothing failed as well...
“But...”
The Vermillion Bird Thunder said, "There’s nothing but and about it. Let Master Wu come over to see if what the little house servant is saying is true."
"Yes, let Master Wu come over so that some people can finally understand their own ignorance!" Yingqiong of White Tiger followed up in a strange tone which was different from Vermillion Bird Thunder’s impartiality.
The shop owner could only invite someone as the three young ladies here had significant clout within this city. She wouldn’t dare to offend them.
“Hey, little house servant, do you have confidence If not, admit it quickly.” Vermillion Bird Thunder said to Xianyao.
Xianyao looked at Vermilion Bird Thunder and pulled out a book from his body. He started reading as if he was ignoring what she had just said.
I’m not part of the Vermillion Bird Family anyway, and the Black Tortoise family and the Vermillion Bird family have a strained relationship. There’s no need for me to answer you. If I felt like it, perhaps I would have answered your question. But that doubtful tone of yours is something I don’t enjoy.
“…” Vermillion Bird Thunder was speechless as she had been completely ignored by this little house servant who seemed so insignificant and innocent.
"Vermilion Bird Thunder, it looks like you can't attract even one of my servants," Lingxiao of Black Tortoise said with a tone of mockery. She wouldn’t let go of such an opportunity to humiliate the other girl. She also made a gesture of praise toward Xianyao.
"That’s because he doesn’t know how to appreciate someone, he should like your kind instead," Vermilion Bird Thunder retorted without any politeness.
“What did you just say!” Lingxiao of Black Tortoise raised her eyebrows and was about to draw her sword.
"The two of you, wait a minute…" The shop owner immediately called out. She had only sent someone to call Master Wu and wasn’t leaving as she wanted to watch the three potential time bombs.
The entire Azure Dragon City knew that when people from these three families got together, anything could happen. And this time, all of them were present, so who knows what might occur
"Master Wu will be here soon, can you all just wait a bit" The shop owner pleaded and silently cursed Xianyao in her mind. Can’t you just calm down for a moment I’ve already stirred up enough trouble. And now you’re bothering this Thunder Lady as well Don’t tell me that you don’t know who she is
This Thunder lady was the most frightening of all three when it came to doing things. She would either do nothing or be like a thunderstorm!
"That’s right, stop arguing, I can’t concentrate on my book," Xianyao said with no sense of responsibility.
“You…”
Alright, I’ll hold back. He’s just one little boy after all. But when I knock your master down later, you’ll be dead for sure.
Vermilion Bird Thunder looked at Xianyao with a look that suggested she was about to eat him.
Yingqiong of White Tiger smiled as she realized that people didn’t hate her as much as they did before. This boy had managed to take all the hate off her back and put it on himself.
"Xianyao, what book are you reading"
"It’s a book about Mystic Gate formations. Speaking of which, I also have this sword technique book with me. Do you want to see it" Xianyao said and pulled out another book from his body. He usually had several books on him in case he needed them to kill time.
"Alright, if there’s nothing else for me to do," Lingxiao of Black Tortoise replied.
“It might inspire you when it comes to cultivating the twelfth sword technique.” Xianyao said offhandedly.
“ How do you know that I’m going to cultivate my twelfth sword next” Lingxiao of Black Tortoise was very curious.
"After you’ve cultivated that previous sword, the twelfth one should be suitable for you. And most people would start with a technique they feel suits them," Xianyao replied and his eyes never left the book he held in his hand.
“I suspected before that you seemed to understand Supreme Sword Dao very well. Now it seems like you really do know a lot about it, how deep is your understanding How many sword techniques have you mastered” Lingxiao of Black Tortoise accepted the book and asked. they guarded every corner, usually making it impossible for Xianyao and her to escape under normal conditions. But this time was strange because until now, they hadn’t encountered any of these guards...
