Supreme Tamer
Chapter 1437 - Chapter 1437 Chapter 1299 A Miscalculation

Chapter 1437: Chapter 1299: A Miscalculation Chapter 1437: Chapter 1299: A Miscalculation Chu Mu continued to close his eyes and meditate. It was merely a resemblance, and Chu Mu had no intentions concerning it.

Seeing that the other party wasn’t speaking, Youyou was relieved. She hated dealing with these people the most. If it weren’t for urgent business, she would have taught those insolent young masters a harsh lesson a long time ago.

“Eh, Xiaohuan, where did those two guests go?” Youyou suddenly noticed something and quickly asked the woman who had greeted Chu Mu earlier.

“Oh, they went downstairs and seem to have already left,” said the woman named Xiaohuan.

“What’s going on! Didn’t I ask you to keep an eye on them!” Youyou’s voice suddenly turned stern!

Xiaohuan was startled by Youyou’s outburst and stuttered after a while, “I… I forgot.”

“How could you not handle such a simple task! Do you know where they went!” Youyou urgently and angrily asked.

“I… I don’t know,” Xiaohuan said.

“You… you… you’re going to drive me mad; what exactly is in your brain, just mush!”

Youyou rolled her eyes. She had just stepped away for a moment, asking Xiaohuan to keep an eye on those two highly suspicious men, and they had managed to slip away!

She had expended considerable effort to find this clue, and now with the sea of faces, where was she supposed to find those two individuals!

Youyou was so furious that her chest heaved. By this time, Chu Mu had also opened his eyes, not because he found those two men odd, but because Youyou’s voice had been too loud. Just now, while meditating with his eyes closed, Chu Mu had been reminiscing about Qingzi’s gentle demeanor. However, Youyou’s chastisement completely shattered Chu Mu’s nostalgia, as well as his initial impression of this woman named Youyou.

This woman was not delicate at all; her temper was too fiery. She had just behaved so modestly, yet as soon as she heard that the men had left, she immediately erupted in rage.

Alright, Chu Mu could now confirm that this woman’s temperament and character bore no similarity to Qingzi whatsoever. Qingzi, even if extremely angry, would never shout aloud but would instead become terrifyingly cold…

“I know where those two went,” Chu Mu spoke at this point.

“You know? Where did they go? Tell me quickly!” Xiaoxiao urgently asked.

Chu Mu gave a wry smile and shook his head; the woman’s previous gentle demeanor was all an act.

However, Chu Mu was curious why Youyou was so interested in those two men. From her current demeanor and expression, she did not seem to know those men but rather seemed to have lost track of prey she had been hunting.

“They are in Guangfeng Alley. I heard them say so when they left,” Chu Mu said.

If she had not looked somewhat like Qingzi, Chu Mu would not have bothered with someone else’s matters.

“Oh, oh, thank you. Enjoy your tea slowly; I have to go now,” Xiaoxiao said hastily and then scurried away.

Chu Mu watched the impatient woman leave and shook his head with a bitter smile.

A while after Xiaoxiao left, the woman named Xiaohuan took her place and came over to pour tea for Chu Mu.

Xiaohuan wasn’t much for small talk; she just sat beside Chu Mu somewhat helplessly, occasionally glancing at him as he meditated with closed eyes.

After an unknown duration, the appraiser finally came out, walking toward Chu Mu with a smiling face and respectfully made a bow.

It was normal to bow to someone possessing such resources and wealth.

“We have completed the appraisal. Inside your space ring, there are…” the appraiser began.

Chu Mu gestured with his hand, interrupting him, “I’m aware of how many items are inside. Just tell me directly your estimated total price.”

“Oh… oh, alright,” said the appraiser, who hadn’t encountered such a straightforward person, especially regarding such a substantial amount of resources.

“Our offered price to purchase all the resources in your space ring is 70,000 Xuan,” the appraiser politely said.

“70,000 Xuan?” Chu Mu furrowed his brows slightly.

The Fox Elder had estimated the value of the goods at 80,000 Xuan; at this auction house, they were missing a whole 10,000 Xuan. Indeed, although the trading place dealt with Xuan objects quickly, they were truly underhand. 10,000 Xuan could almost buy a standard quality Level 7 Xuan Item. With good fortune, that could be a high-level Dominator!

“Uh… I haven’t finished speaking yet. Considering that you are selling such a massive amount of Xuan objects to us in one go, and are willing to give them all to Luan City Auction House, we have slightly increased the percentage price of all Xuan objects. This is our auction house’s way of showing respect to a great Soul Pet Master like you, so our offer is 75,000 Xuan. What do you think, can you accept this amount?” the appraiser reacted very quickly, completing this latter part almost immediately as Chu Mu furrowed his brow.

In fact, for purchases by the Luan City Trading Place, the price was indeed 70,000 Xuan because they needed to seek profits, and those were aggressively sought.

However, in order not to offend the strong ones, they dared not set the price too outrageous, hence they started with 70,000 as a probe. If the other party was satisfied, the appraiser would immediately utter the rest of the phrase to ease the atmosphere.

“Young Master, 75,000 Xuan is about the right price. If you were to sell it at the trading place, it would be like this–you must let them take a cut. After all, they need to find suitable buyers,” the voice of the Fox Elder drifted over.

Chu Mu felt the pain of an arbitrary reduction of 5,000 Xuan, but who told him that he liked to save time…

Previously, Chu Mu was reluctant to keep the Xuan items he had collected for his personal sale also for this reason. Placing them elsewhere, even if it were an auctioned price, might not reflect their true value, only direct utilization would be the most valuable.

Chu Mu nodded; he could only sell it at the price of 75,000 Xuan. As for how much margin the auction house could make through the auction, that was their business. Among the Xuan items Chu Mu had mentioned, not all were the purest kind used for strengthening. Many were just materials and secondary power crystals, which sometimes might not have buyers for several months.

“Xiaohuan, escort the Young Master back to his place,” the appraiser said with a smile upon completion of the transaction.

“Ah? Yes…” Xiaohuan was stunned, momentarily unsure of what to do.

Once they left the auction house, Xiaohuan followed Chu Mu all the way. Chu Mu secretly wondered why this girl would accompany him out of the trading place. Was there a need to take him to his residence?

At that moment, the Fox Elder emitted a sly laugh, “Young Master, this little lady seems like a perk from the trading place. Though you lost 5,000 Xuan, Young Master definitely gained a woman, tsk tsk, said so subtly, to your residence…”

Chu Mu’s face immediately darkened. No wonder, as they were leaving, that appraiser gave him a meaningful smile–it was to give him this hint.

The price of 75,000 Xuan plus a night with a pure woman, Chu Mu felt it was a loss no matter how he calculated it. 5,000 Xuan could definitely make many Female Soul Pet Trainers below the Low-grade Master level sell themselves without hesitation.

Moreover, this little lady Xiaohuan, though pretty, always seemed a bit ordinary. If it were Xiaoxiao, Chu Mu might have considered more.

“Why did that girl named Xiaoxiao want you to keep an eye on those two men?” Chu Mu suddenly grew curious and asked.

“I… I don’t know, Sister Xiaoxiao told me to watch them since they started trading. I think Sister Xiaoxiao must be angry with them,” Xiaohuan said.

“Angry, why do you say that?” Chu Mu asked. According to Chu Mu’s judgement, that girl called Xiaoxiao shouldn’t know those two men.

“Because once, I heard those two men say they wanted to lure Sister Xiaoxiao out and then have a good time with her,” Xiaohuan said.

Chu Mu was slightly stunned.

From a man’s point of view, “having a good time with her” sounded somewhat sleazy.

No!

Chu Mu suddenly realized a serious problem.

If Xiaoxiao was actually tracking and investigating those two men, then from Xiaohuan’s words, it seemed very likely those men had already become aware. Their intention to head to Guangfeng Alley was purposely to lure Xiaoxiao out. Moreover, those men talked so much as they passed by himself, clearly making it for Xiaohuan to hear and convey to Xiaoxiao.

Xiaohuan seemed somewhat confused as a girl. She hadn’t heard what they were saying, and this could have potentially spared Xiaoxiao from danger, but she spoke carelessly, telling that girl named Xiaoxiao they were going to Guangfeng Alley…

“Where is Guangfeng Alley?” Chu Mu asked.

“West of the Central City on Gemstone Street, north of Gemstone Street, there’s a Gemstone Tower, very easy to spot,” Xiaohuan replied.

“You go back. I still have other matters,” Chu Mu started chanting a spell, immediately summoning Night.

“Ah? You’re letting me go back?” Xiaohuan said in surprise.

Before she could finish, Chu Mu was already speeding off on Night, leaving Xiaohuan standing dumbfounded in the crowd, taking a while to collect herself.

Most of the time just now, Xiaohuan was thinking about what she would do once she reached this handsome Young Master’s residence–if he pulled her into the room to do something embarrassing, should she refuse, or…

All those tangled thoughts Xiaohuan had been wrestling with dissipated into thin smoke by the magnificent rear view of Chu Mu riding on Night.

At night, the sky itself was the road Night sped along.

Below were thousands of households’ lights, and Night flew like a black gleaming star across the city’s skies, at incredible speed that the air patrol guards couldn’t even notice the existence of Night.

Chu Mu sped like that, heading straight for Guangfeng Alley.

If a woman somewhat resembled one’s wife, and this woman, coincidentally because of one’s words, was being delivered into the jaws of two wolves, any man would be restless all night!
