Chapter 2060 — I Don't Want to Cheat You
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Classmate Wei Zhao, please look—this is a second-grade pill cauldron!" Purple Hair drew a pill cauldron from his robes and held it up before Wei Zhao. "What do you think? You're an alchemist too—you should recognize it, shouldn't you? This is a genuine second-grade pill cauldron, forged by a high-ranked alchemist of the Mystic Pill Sect!"
"A second-grade pill cauldron forged by the Mystic Pill Sect?" Enlightenment dawned on Wei Zhao—so high-ranked alchemists could forge pill cauldrons themselves! Yet his face still wore that same lukewarm expression. "I still don't really want to trade."
"What the hell!" Right Panhu had thought a second-grade pill cauldron would surely move Wei Zhao, but to his surprise, he still did not want to trade! This time, though, Wei Zhao's tone had loosened somewhat—"don't really want to trade" meant he was somewhat tempted, but the price offered was perhaps not yet high enough! So Right Panhu swallowed his anger and asked patiently, "Wei Zhao, just what will it take for you to agree?"
"Right Panhu, it's not that I won't trade with you—it's that the information in my hands truly should be of no great use to you!" Wei Zhao said with earnest gravity. "I don't think your Hidden Right family lacks information like this. Why put me in such a difficult spot? Chief Bai said as much—she told me not to show it to just anyone!"
"Lack it? Of course we lack it!" Right Panhu said hurriedly. "Since you've already shown it to Han Jingyi, one more won't make a difference, will it?"
"Han Jingyi is a newly initiated alchemist, so this information is useful to her. But you... your alchemy level surely isn't bad. This information would be useless to you!" Wei Zhao said.
"Damn it, Wei Zhao, why do you have so much nonsense to spout? Wanting to trade is my own idea. Even if I trade back a pile of junk, that's what I'm willing to do—so why are you eating turnips and worrying yourself sick over nothing?" Right Panhu finally burst out in anger. "I'm willing to trade—a thousand gold can't buy 'I'm willing,' you understand? If you think my offer isn't suitable, just say so! Don't think I don't know what's on your mind—don't! You plainly think one pill cauldron is too few, isn't that right?"
"This..." Wei Zhao looked at the rampaging Right Panhu and sighed helplessly. Not a few—really, not a few at all!
"Just as I thought! Two pill cauldrons—one first-grade and one second-grade. What do you say? Two for one. Will you trade or not? Give me a straight answer, and be quick about it!" Right Panhu took the pill cauldrons from both Yellow Hair and Purple Hair and thrust them before Wei Zhao.
"Tsk tsk... I really do want these two pill cauldrons, but that information truly isn't worth this much!" Wei Zhao said with a bitter smile. "Right Panhu, you're my classmate now. I don't want to cheat you. Take my advice—let's not trade."
"It's not trading that would cheat me!" Right Panhu held up the two pill cauldrons, beside himself with agitation. "Wei Zhao, if you're my classmate, then all the more reason to help a classmate out!"
"Brother Wei Zhao, maybe just trade with him... I need a pill cauldron now anyway... and he does look rather pitiful..." Han Jingyi said in a small, timid voice.
"Look at that, just look at that! I'm really puzzled—we're classmates living and studying in the same classroom, so how can the gap in character be this huge!" Right Panhu looked at Han Jingyi and said excitedly, "A true kindred spirit!"
