Chapter 2502 — Trading for a Treasure
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Boss, why did you suddenly ask about that?" Han Xiaohu asked, puzzled. "Did someone bring one of those treasures to the exchange this time?"
"No. Someone who used to be my enemy joined the Tomorrow and Tomorrow sect and became one of its disciples. He obtained a mid-grade Golden Cicada Undergarment, and I have no idea how to deal with him." Wei Zhao made no attempt to hide anything from Han Xiaohu and told him the truth.
"Oh? Then this will be difficult..." Han Xiaohu thought for a while, but he could not come up with much. He merely shook his head. "I've only heard about it myself and have never seen one. The Hidden Han family has no records of anything similar either..."
"I will think of something myself." Wei Zhao nodded. "If all else fails, we'll have no choice but to ask Old Master Pi to step in."
If Wei Zhao truly could not handle Zhong Yongliang, then he could only have Old Master Pi intimidate him. For the moment, Wei Zhao had no other options.
"That would work. A Heaven-rank expert is actually the best counter to a mid-grade Golden Cicada Undergarment," Han Xiaohu said.
"There's something else. How can we find the cultivators who were setting up stalls and trading during the day?" Wei Zhao asked.
"The cultivators who had stalls during the day? What are you trying to trade, Boss?" Han Xiaohu asked.
"The blood of that earth-element Heaven-rank spirit beast." Wei Zhao replied, "You should remember. It was the thing that cool little beauty in the black leather jacket and pants asked about."
"Oh, that!" Han Xiaohu nodded. "We can only check with the service desk downstairs. Some traders register the items they want to trade along with their room numbers. They do that to keep the transactions discreet. Some cultivators aren't strong enough to trade with others in full view of the public, and they also worry about being watched..."
"Then let's go take a look." Wei Zhao rose after hearing that.
"All right, but he may not have registered it..." Han Xiaohu said as he left the room with Wei Zhao.
"We will see what we can find first." Wei Zhao was only giving it a try. If it did not work, they could deal with it tomorrow.
The two of them went downstairs to the service desk in the lobby on the first floor. Han Xiaohu asked, "Hello. I would like to inquire whether any guest has registered that they want to trade for the blood of an earth-element Heaven-rank spirit beast."
"Sir, please wait a moment while I look it up for you," the attendant said.
"All right." Han Xiaohu nodded.
The attendant skillfully searched the computer for information on the item Han Xiaohu had mentioned, then said, "Yes, someone did register this."
"Can we go and trade with him?" Han Xiaohu asked.
"Please wait. I will ask him." The attendant picked up an internal phone. Only after receiving an affirmative reply from the other end did he turn to Han Xiaohu and say, "You may, but please show me your room cards first. I need to record the information."
Han Xiaohu and Wei Zhao took out their room cards and handed them to the attendant. This was meant to ensure the safety of the transaction; if any dispute arose, the people involved could still be identified.
Once the attendant had recorded the information, he said to Han Xiaohu, "The trader is waiting for you in Room 4109. Please take the elevator over there."
"Thank you!" Han Xiaohu and Wei Zhao took back their room cards, then rode the elevator upstairs together.
They stopped outside Room 4109. Wei Zhao knocked, and the voice of the Heaven-rank cultivator from earlier that day came from inside. "Come in!"
Wei Zhao and Han Xiaohu pushed the door open and entered. The Heaven-rank cultivator appeared to have prepared for his guests already. A tea set had been placed on the coffee table, and hot water was ready as well.
