Lao Chen’s leg seemed to have been abnormal for many years. The muscles had atrophied, and it was obviously thinner than the other leg. Moreover, his knee could not be bent, so he could only straighten it. He could only walk with the support of crutches. It seemed that his condition was very serious.

However, Su Qian was very certain that Lao Chen’s leg was most likely not crippled due to a serious injury as Steward Zhou had said. There was another reason…

Su Qian had no plans to interfere and retracted her gaze and waited expectantly.

At this moment, a well-dressed middle-aged man in blue walked into the shabby shop with two attendants. As soon as he stepped through the door, he laughed loudly and said, “Lao Chen, I’m here to buy medicine from you!”

Xiao Yan indifferently looked at the man.

“Oh, I’m sorry. 1 didn’t expect there to be other customers in the shop.” The middle-aged man smiled apologetically and nodded at Su Qian and the others.

“It’s okay. Boss Lao Chen went in to look for the medicine. Please wait.” Steward Zhou reminded with a smile.

As soon as Steward Zhou finished speaking, Lao Chen limped out of the inner room.

“Mu Shui, why are you here?” Lao Chen obviously recognized this middle-aged man who had just entered the door. Even his attitude towards him was different. It was less fierce and more polite and gentle.

The middle-aged man called Mu Shui took a few steps forward and patted Lao Chen’s shoulder happily. “Why else can 1 come looking for you? Of course, I’m here to buy the Dragon-repelling Fruit from you! Hey, isn’t that the Dragon-repelling Fruit in your hand? How did you know that 1 was coming?” Lao Chen held a very ordinary crystal box in his hand, and a pitch-black fruit was lying inside. It was only the size of a palm, but it emitted an extremely cold and evil aura. A blood-red dragon bared its fangs and brandished its claws on the surface of the fruit, and its scarlet eyes revealed a bloodthirsty color. It was the Dragon-repelling Fruit.

“This Dragon-repelling Fruit is what we saw first, and we’ve already offered two fourth-grade elixirs. Now, it’s ours.” Xiao Yan saw that Mu Shui was not easy to deal with and immediately warned coldly.

Mu Shui turned his head and glanced at Xiao Yan. Seeing that he was still sitting on the dragon throne with a mask on his face, a hint of mockery appeared in his eyes. He raised his hand and shook it in disapproval. “What you said is wrong. When it comes to buying medicinal herbs, there are many bidders. Here is what I propose, Lao Chen, I’ll offer a fifth-grade elixir and a fourth-grade elixir. Two elixirs for your Dragon-repelling Fruit.

A fifth-grade elixir and a fourth-grade elixir did not sound different, but in reality, there was a huge difference between the two. As soon as Mu Shui made his offer, he outbid Su Qian by too much.

Su Qian didn’t say anything and just looked coldly at Mu Shui, the roadblock.

Mu Shui was certain that Su Qian couldn’t afford a higher price than him, so he said proudly, “Miss, although you look young, you should also know that fourth-grade elixirs are common and fifth-grade elixirs are rare. 1 don’t want to offend you, but as someone who has been through it before, 1 advise you to do what you can and not blindly raise the price. After all, not everyone can afford the price I’m offering.”

Mu Shui’s words seemed to be considerate of Su Qian and the others, but in reality, there was a hidden mockery.

Lao Chen held the Dragon-repelling Fruit in his hand and didn’t say a word. He was a businessman, so he naturally had to see who offered a higher price. “Miss, do you want to raise the price?”

Xiao Yan pushed his wheelchair to Su Qian’s side and whispered into her ear, “1 still have a fifth-grade elixir here. I’ll help you increase the price by any amount you want..”
