Chapter 3628 — The Hong Clan Trading Association
The Blossom Guardian · Page 3 of 3
So it really was true: only after entering the Inner Street did one realize just how poor one was. Wei Zhao had thought that although he did not have many spirit jades, he certainly could not be called poor. Yet after making the rounds, he instantly felt the same way he had when he once carried a single small spirit jade while touring the Outer Street and Middle Street: his purse was painfully light.
Wei Zhao had originally intended to buy something, but now he had no choice but to abandon the idea. He would simply stroll around and take a look, treating the trip as an opportunity to broaden his horizons. After all, even if he threw every one of the fifty-odd spirit jades in his possession into this place, he still could not afford anything truly worthwhile.
"Hmm? The Hong Clan Trading Association?" Wei Zhao paused slightly as he looked at a shop not far ahead. Compared with the other shops on the Inner Street, the Hong Clan Trading Association was clearly a cut above them in both the arrangement of its pavilion and the volume of its customers. It also occupied the spacious central location, its signboard conspicuous and imposing, carrying the unmistakable air of an establishment that held sway over the entire Inner Street.
