Seeing that it was about time, Zhou Shu coughed lightly. âSince Family Head
Peng is so sincere, the third grotto-heaven divine weapon will belong to the Peng family.â
âNo, my Yun familyâs offer isnât lower than the Peng familyâs,â a family head said unhappily.
âMy familyâs price is thirty percent higher than the Peng familyâs!â
The other family heads were also unhappy.
âFamily Head Dong, although itâs your freedom to sell your things to whoever you want, you canât tease us like this, right?â the family heads said angrily.
âEveryone, donât be angry. Let me finish.â Zhou Shu smiled. âEveryone should know the situation of the Peng family.
âFamily Head Peng, sorry for being rude. The situation of the Peng family is similar to that of my Dong family. Even if itâs better, itâs limited. I know how much the Peng family can offer according to my Dong familyâs situation,â Zhou Shu said seriously.
âWhat Family Head Peng has offered is already the limit of what the Peng family can offer, but Iâm afraid it might not be the case for everyone.
âOne person has 10 ,ooo taels of silver, and he takes out 150 taels of silver, and there is someone who only has 100 taels of silver, but he takes out 100 taels of silver. Which one do you think is more sincere?â
Everyone frowned. Can it be calculated that way? You donât want to earn money?
Only the Peng family head looked touched. âThatâs right. My Peng family is willing to give up everything for this grotto-heaven divine weapon. Which one of you can compare to me?â
He looked at Zhou Shu with a sense of confidence. I used to dislike him. Now, Iâve realized that heâs a good person. Heâs my confidant! In the future, my Peng family must interact well with the Dong family and help each other.
âFamily Head Dong, that doesnât make sense, right? Didnât we agree that the one with the highest price would get it?â a family head said unhappily. We are not bidding for women. What sincerity is there to talk about? We offer a higher price. This is the truth!
âThatâs right. You just said it yourself. The highest bidder wins!â another family head said.
How many years had it been since a grotto-heaven divine weapon appeared in the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom? How could they let this grotto-heaven divine weapon fall into the hands of someone else?
âWeâre offering higher prices now. The last grotto-heaven divine weapon should belong to us. Family Head Dong, you canât disobey the rules, right?â
The family heads who didnât manage to snatch the grotto-heaven divine weapon glared at Zhou Shu and the Peng family head.
The Cao family head and the Mi family head had already gotten what they wanted. The two of them sat at the side as if they were watching a show.
There was another person watching the showâMu Zhixing.
Mu Zhixingâs eyes darted around, seemingly up to no good.
Seeing Zhou Shu toy with these people, he became even more envious. Theyâre helping Zhou Shu count the money even after he sold them out. Theyâre simply forcing Zhou Shu to take their money! There are actually such fools in the world!
âAlasâ¦â Zhou Shu sighed and looked at the Peng family head apologetically. âFamily Head Peng, we have a deep friendship. I originally wanted to help you, but lookâ¦â
The smile on the Peng family headâs face was a little stiff, but he still said,
âFamily Head Dong, no matter what you decide, I can feel your friendship. From now on, you are my brother. If you have anything to say, I will do anything I can to help you!â
The others pursed their lips. If you donât have money, so be it. Whatâs the point of making friends?! Who doesnât know how to say such cheap words?
âFamily Head Dong, weâre all friends. Business is business, and it doesnât affect our friendship. My family is willing to add another 10%,â a family head said.
âI donât need another 10%.â Zhou Shu shook his head. âItâs like this. Because Iâve comprehended the art of forging, Iâve gained a little. But the art of forging is vast and profound. Iâve only just crossed the threshold. There are still many things I need to learn.
âOur nine families all have clan-protecting divine artifacts. These connate divine artifacts contain the principles of heaven and earth. If I can comprehend a bit, it will be very helpful to my forging skillsâ¦â
The Ji family head frowned. âFamily Head Dong, what do you mean?â
âItâs nothing. I was just wondering if I could borrow the Ji familyâs divine artifact to comprehend for a few days if itâs convenient.â Zhou Shu smiled. âIf my forging skills can improve again, I might be able to forge one or two more grotto-heaven divine weapons in a hundred years. In that case, everyone wonât have to fight over them. Everyone will have them.â
âYou want my familyâs divine artifact?â The Ji family headâs face darkened.
Zhou Shu felt a little helpless. Why donât these people understand human language? I just want to borrow it. Do you understand what Iâm saying?
âFamily Head Ji, what do you mean?â Zhou Shu said patiently. âHow can I want your familyâs divine artifact? I just want to borrow it to comprehend for a few days.
âFamily Head Ji, if youâre worried, you can stay at our Dong familyâs place. When Iâm done comprehending, you can take it back.
âHow can your familyâs clan-protecting divine artifact be easily snatched away by outsiders?
âFamily Head Ji, you might not know this, but once forgers like us begin to forge, we are full of interest in forging. We want to study any divine weapon we see, let alone such a connate divine artifact..
