Chapter 2196 — Stopped Again

"What things? Don't tell me you're after that data again?" Wei Zhao asked with a cold laugh. "There's no trading this time. Don't waste your thoughts on it."
"Come on... let's talk this over!" Seeing Wei Zhao's firmness, You Panhu became all the more convinced that this time it truly was something good—otherwise Wei Zhao could not be so resolute. He must be playing hard to get again.
"There's nothing to talk about between you and me," Wei Zhao said flatly.
"Wei Zhao, there's a saying that hits the mark: in this world, there is nothing that cannot be bought—it only depends on whether your chips are enough!" You Panhu said. "Don't refuse so hastily before you've even heard my offer."
"Not interested." With that, Wei Zhao pushed You Panhu aside and made to leave with Han Jingyi.
"Hey? Wait a moment!" You Panhu grew anxious. "Five second-grade pills—how about it? Are those chips enough?"
"No," Wei Zhao said.
"Wei Zhao, don't be so ungrateful. I already know you're not an alchemist at all—you must be desperate for pills. Five second-grade pills! Think about it, they're worth a fortune!" You Panhu said.
"Are you brain-dead? If I were short on pills, I had plenty of chances to trade for them at the Hidden Family Summit. Why would I pass that up?" Wei Zhao retorted.
"You... weren't you deliberately making me raise the stakes for the alchemy contest, to create the illusion that you were an alchemist?" You Panhu said.
"You're overthinking it," Wei Zhao said coolly. "I won that many matches already; one more or less makes no difference. Besides, I never won that one at all."
"Didn't you want the Small Qi-Gathering Pills rather badly? How about five Small Qi-Gathering Pills?" You Panhu said. "Enough to let those people around you break through to the Earth Rank. That's my bottom line!"
"Five Small Qi-Gathering Pills—is that any different from five second-grade pills?" Wei Zhao regarded You Panhu with mockery. "Enough. Stop playing word games. I don't have time; I'm going to class. Stay here and play by yourself."
With that, Wei Zhao left with Han Jingyi, leaving only You Panhu behind, grumbling furiously, "Damn it, even five second-grade pills won't do it?"
"Young Master You, this time Wei Zhao didn't hold back or put on any airs—I'd say the data in his hands is important. Otherwise he couldn't possibly be so unmoved. After all, all he'd have to do is let us take a look, and five Small Qi-Gathering Pills would be ours for free," Yellow Hair said.
"Exactly. I think Wei Zhao feels our chips are a bit too few," Purple Hair agreed.
"Let me discuss it with my uncle a bit more..." With no other choice, You Panhu took out his phone and dialed his uncle's number...
At the Hidden You family, after Kang Jingming had withdrawn, You Zhentian carefully carried an antique-looking medicinal cauldron into the secret chamber where Tian Canbian was staying.
"You Zhentian pays his respects to Young Sect Master Tian!" You Zhentian bowed respectfully to Tian Canbian, then said cautiously to Old Master You, "Father, I have brought that treasure..."
"Good. Please, Young Sect Master Tian and Fifth Elder, examine it and see just what this medicinal cauldron is..." Old Master You said with a nod.
"Yes! Please, Young Sect Master Tian, have a look..." You Zhentian hurriedly presented the cauldron in his hands to Tian Canbian at his side. (To be continued) RQ
