As soon as Liu Qi entered the back hail she saw Ancestor Su’s pitch-black face that seemed to be about to drip water, as she had expected. She approached with a light smile and bowed to the father and son. “1 apologize for keeping you waiting.”

“Not long, just about an hour.” Su Chenghua’s words were sharp. He snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Liu Qi ignored Su Chenghua’s dissatisfaction and went straight to the main seat.

“Shopkeeper Liu Qi, I have something to discuss with your master. I wonder when Young Master Gong Nan will come today?” Ancestor Su was more patient than Su Chenghua. Even though he was full of dissatisfaction, he didn’t show it on his face.

Liu Qi paused as she took the tea from the maid. She looked at Ancestor Su with a complicated gaze.

Gong Nan…Young Master? Her master was as beautiful as a flower and jade, lovely enough to cause the fall of a city. When did she become a young master?

But upon second thought, Liu Qi found it interesting and decided not to explain. Instead, she smiled and replied, “Old Master Su, my master has always been busy. Most of the affairs of Qian Yao Pavilion are handled by me. 1 can make most of the decisions. If you have anything to say, why don’t you tell me?”

Ancestor Su frowned in dissatisfaction and finally spoke up, “Shopkeeper Liu Qi, your Qian Yao Pavilion has just arrived in the imperial capital for business. There are many things that you have to fumble around and slowly figure out many ways. It must be very laborious, right?” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, Liu Qi remained calm and composed, without any hint of flaw on her face. “Thank you for your concern, Old Master Su. Actually, these things are all small matters. It’s just that our Qian Yao Pavilion’s business is really good. I’m so busy all day long and don’t even have time to rest.”

Ancestor Su and Su Chenghua both felt their muscles twitch at the corners of their mouths. They suppressed their anger and continued patiently, “Since Shopkeeper Liu Qi is working so hard, why not cooperate with our Su Family?” Liu Qi blinked in confusion, “Cooperate?”

“That’s right. Your Qian Yao Pavilion has the elixirs, but our Su family has connections. As long as your family gives us the formula for the Vitality Fortifying Elixir, we guarantee that our Su family will definitely expand the market. By then, not only will the imperial capital, but the entire Fire Cloud, or even the entire continent, will be selling our elixirs. This is a guaranteed profitable business.” Ancestor Su said with a smile.

Liu Qi smiled, but he cursed Ancestor Su in his heart.

Their Qian Yao Pavilion produced elixirs, while the Su family only had to put in some effort to sell them?

Qian Yao Pavilion had no worries about selling their elixirs. Moreover, if their family wanted to open up the market, they could directly cooperate with Feng Lin Auction House. How could they look up to the small Su family?

“I’m sorry, Old Master Su. But my master specifically instructed me not to cooperate with anyone when he arrived yesterday. I’m just a servant and dare not to disobey my master’s orders.” Liu Qi said politely.

Upon hearing Liu Qi’s response, Ancestor Su’s smile vanished instantly, revealing the murderous intent that had been hidden in the depths of his heart for a long time. “Shopkeeper Liu Qi, your Qian Yao Pavilion had just arrived, and you’re only selling a peak first-grade elixir for 400 gold coins. Isn’t that against the rules?”

“Not following the rules?” Liu Qi lightly chuckled. She was like a cunning fox as she said faintly, “So, Old Master Su is dissatisfied with our price. That’s good, it just so happens that my master just revised the price yesterday. From today onwards, our Qian Yao Pavilion’s Vitality Fortifying Elixir will not be 400 gold coins per pill, but only 300 gold coins per pill.. With that said, 1 wonder if this new price aligns with your rules, Old Master Su?”
