Chapter 2534: Fooled! Astonishment! Bootlicker! The Tai Family! (1)

w.a.n.g Teng’s stated price was vastly different from Gu Luo’s, causing everyone to feel a bit bewildered.

The difference was like night and day, leaving everyone somewhat dumbfounded.

Even Gu Luo couldn’t believe it, looking at w.a.n.g Teng and saying, “Are you setting such a price just to challenge me?”

“You’re overthinking it. It’s just a simple compet.i.tion, I haven’t taken it too seriously. How could I be trying to challenge you?” w.a.n.g Teng replied.

Seeing him so confident, Gulo couldn’t help but roll his eyes and ask, “So you’re sure about this price, ten billion Universal Coins?”

“Absolutely!” w.a.n.g Teng nodded firmly.

“Grandmaster Hua Yuan, are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?” Grandmaster Hua Yuan quickly grabbed him and asked through voice transmission, “The price that others are offering for this piece of ore has already reached 60 billion Universal Coins.”

“60 billion UC. Anyone who buys it will suffer a loss,” w.a.n.g Teng replied using voice transmission.

“Is that true?” Grandmaster Hua Yuan asked.

“Of course, would I lie to you?” w.a.n.g Teng replied.

Grandmaster Hua Yuan gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, I believe you.”

Compared to Gu Luo, heally trusted w.a.n.g Teng more.

Gu Luo shrugged. He still insisted on his opinion that this piece of ore couldn’t possibly be worth only ten billion Universal Coins.

At this moment, a voice rang out, “How much for this piece of ore?”

w.a.n.g Teng was momentarily taken aback, then turned to look at the newcomer, his brows furrowing involuntarily.

Ti Du!

Sure enough, it was this guy again. This person was persistent in his pursuits.

Beside him stood the same Ti Jing whom he had encountered at the entrance to the trading area before.

In addition to them, there were three figures following closely behind, and one of them, surprisingly, he recognized.

“Le Tun!” w.a.n.g Teng raised an eyebrow, very surprised. He hadn’t expected to see him here at all.

But considering that he was a member of the core family of the Secondary Career Alliance, it wasn’t surprising to find him here.

His gaze swept over the other two individuals. One of the men seemed ordinary, without any particularly noteworthy features. It was the woman who caught his attention, her stunning beauty causing a flash of admiration in his eyes.

Very beautiful!

Among all the women w.a.n.g Teng had seen, only a few could compare to her.

Moreover, she was wearing a Secondary Profession attire, which exquisitely accentuated her figure, exuding a unique charm. She was an outstanding beauty.

This was a level of allure that other beauties couldn’t match.

w.a.n.g Teng had never seen a woman in Secondary Profession attire who could evoke such stunning beauty.

However, w.a.n.g Teng was well-experienced and soon regained his composure after the initial astonishment, not lingering too long on her.

He wasn’t the kind of person who couldn’t walk straight after encountering a beautiful woman.

In comparison, Ti Jing and Ti Du were the ones worth his attention. He wondered what kind of trick they were up to now.

“Sister Yue!” Yu Xiangxiang exclaimed with joy upon seeing the woman.

“Oh, it’s Xiangxiang!” Le Yan’s gaze fell on the pet.i.te girl beside w.a.n.g Teng, evidently surprised.

Her attention had been entirely focused on w.a.n.g Teng just now, so she had overlooked the little girl and hadn’t noticed her immediately.

“Haha, Sister Le Yan, why are you here?” Yu Xiangxiang immediately ran forward and grabbed the other party’s arm.

“If you can come, why can’t I?” Le Yan smiled and tapped the other party’s nose. “Le Yan!” w.a.n.g Teng’s eyes flashed. Indeed, she was a member of the Le family. “Le Yan, let me introduce you. This is w.a.n.g Teng. He’s amazing and has exceptional culinary skills. He makes delicious spirit dishes,” Xiangxiang said, pulling Le Yan over to w.a.n.g Teng and introducing them. “w.a.n.g Teng, this is my Sister Le Yan. She’s a very talented alchemist.”

Le Yan couldn’t help but feel grateful to Xiangxiang. She had been looking for an opportunity to talk to w.a.n.g Teng, and unexpectedly, this little girl had taken the initiative to introduce them.

“Nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you,” she said, smiling at w.a.n.g Teng. “I’m Le Yan from the Le family.”

“I’m w.a.n.g Teng.” He nodded.

“If Xiangxiang praises you so much, Brother w.a.n.g Teng, you must be exceptional,” Le Yan said.

“This little girl is pure and naive. She tends to exaggerate.” w.a.n.g Teng shook his head modestly.

“No, I’m not exaggerating. w.a.n.g Teng’s Force dishes are delicious. You should try them sometime,” Xiangxiang insisted.

“Haha…” Le Yan chuckled and ruffled her hair. Only this little girl couldn’t see that w.a.n.g Teng was being modest.

“Don’t mess up my hair, Sister Le Yan,” Yu Xiangxiang said helplessly.

“Okay, okay,” Le Yan replied with a smile.

Seeing w.a.n.g Teng chatting and laughing with Le Yan, Ti Du’s expression turned sour. His gaze fell on the stone behind them, and with a smirk, he said, “I’ll take this stone. Any objections?”

“Feel free,” w.a.n.g Teng replied indifferently.

The stall owner behind the stone spoke up, “You have a good eye, sir. This stone was obtained from a mine where many treasures have been found, including spiritual herbs and ancient weapons. It’s valuable, and this stone, in particular, has been preserved carefully. That’s why it hasn’t been opened yet…”

Enough with the chatter. Just tell me the price,” Ti Du said impatiently…
