They All Deeply Regretted It After I Became Indifferent

“This gentleman, I am Zhu Shi Yao, a direct disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect’s Xuan Yi Zhenren, and this is my junior sister Su Su. It seems we have been somewhat rude just now, and I apologize to you for that,” Zhu Shi Yao was quick to react. Upon learning that the deal was not yet complete and that the Xuanbing fruits belonged to the young man before her, she promptly bowed in apology.

“Senior Sister, you’ve already given him enough face with a verbal apology, why bow as well?” Su Su still looked down on Lin Mo.

In the world of immortal sects, there are five ranks.

The Spirit Sword Sect is a first-rank immortal gate.

The number one sword cultivation sect in the world, and Xuan Yi Zhenren is an elder of the Spirit Sword Sect, holding a significant status in the entire cultivation world.

This time, without waiting for Lin Mo to speak, Su Su stepped back two steps and pulled Lin Mo forward a step, “Alright, hurry up with your transaction, we’re next.”

Even a clay figure has a temper, let alone Lin Mo.

A perfectly good deal, broken by these two women.

And they were so unreasonable, pulling him ‘in and out’.

Of course, this was no longer just capriciousness, it was downright infuriating!

“I’ve decided not to sell the spirit fruit.” With that cold remark, Lin Mo turned to leave.

If it weren’t for Zhu Shi Yao’s courtesy towards him, he would have taught Su Su a lesson long ago.

He had no chauvinistic notions of ‘never hitting a woman’; after all, it’s everyone’s first time being a person, why should he yield?

“Hey, you can’t go back on a deal, you’re not allowed to leave!” Su Su blocked Lin Mo’s path again.

Lin Mo laughed in exasperation, “What deal did I agree to?”

Su Su pointed at Xiao Zi, “You were clearly planning to sell the spirit fruit just now.”

Lin Mo replied, “That was then, what’s the problem if I don’t sell now?”

Su Su, hands on her hips, declared righteously, “If you said you’d sell something, then not selling it is unacceptable!”

At that moment, Xiao Zi reminded her, “Miss Su, this gentleman has not yet agreed to sell…”

She was also displeased, not because of Miss Su’s rash intervention, but because the deal had already been made.

“Ah…” Su Su had not yet noticed Lin Mo’s cooling expression, “How about you just sell us the Xuanbing Fruit? Whatever Miss Xiao Zi offered, we’ll add thirty percent more.”

A hint of displeasure appeared on Xiao Zi’s face. As a businesswoman, direct transactions with the client and those through her were different. She would get a commission from the items sold through her, but she held back her words due to the other party’s status.

Zhu Shiyao noticed her junior sister’s lack of tact: “Sir, how about this? I’ll have Miss Xiao Zi offer thirty percent more to buy your Xuanbing Fruit, and we can discuss the rest later.”

Lin Mo’s gaze was cold, and he remained silent.

Thinking the price was still not right, Zhu Shiyao continued to raise the offer: “How about sixty percent more?”

Honestly, the price offered by the Treasure Pavilion should be the most solid. Now, to offer a price sixty percent higher than that was already very generous.

She was willing to pay such a high price for the Xuanbing Fruit because it was indeed very useful to her.

Not long ago, she had successfully advanced to the Golden Core stage, but due to her obsession with dueling, she had injured her vital energy. As a carrier of the rare Ice Spirit Root among the Heavenly Spirit Roots, she needed an ice-attribute spiritual fruit to stabilize and consolidate her realm.

It was then that Lin Mo slowly spoke up: “Tenfold!”

“Sir?” Zhu Shiyao thought she had heard wrong and asked again.

“I said, at ten times the price, I’ll sell it.”

“You madman, what are you thinking?” Su Su couldn’t hold back any longer and lashed out at Lin Mo: “Tenfold, why don’t you dream on, do you take us for fools?”

Lin Mo snorted coldly: “Who just said that price is not an issue? If you can’t afford it, then don’t pretend.”

“Pretend?” Su Su clearly did not understand the modern term.

Lin Mo had no desire to stay any longer, bypassing the two, he prepared to leave.

“Don’t you dare leave!” Su Su reached out to grab Lin Mo’s shoulder.

With a single word ‘Scram!’, a mighty Qi burst forth from Lin Mo.

Su Su, who had just entered the Foundation Building stage, was caught off guard and was sent flying backward.

Zhu Shiyao reacted quickly, her steps light as she caught her junior sister, her face carrying a hint of coldness: “Sir, my junior sister may indeed be willful, but it’s all for me. Your heavy hand is truly unbecoming of a gentleman.”

Lin Mo sneered: “Since you’re her senior sister, you should teach her how to ‘behave’, instead of being so aggressive and willfully stubborn.”

“To be honest, if it weren’t for your junior sister provoking me over and over again, I would have already sold the Xuanbing Fruit.”

Zhu Shiyao could see her junior sister’s faults, but since Su Su’s intentions were all for her, she naturally couldn’t blame her.

“Senior sister, how did I provoke him? He’s the one being petty,” Su Su still didn’t realize her own faults.

In her mind, although she wasn’t as outstanding as her senior sister, most of the young masters from noble families and sects were polite to her, unlike the stingy man before her.

At this moment, Lin Mo’s face was as cold as frost, and he truly wanted to discipline this girl named Su Su.

Of course, that was just a thought!

It wasn’t that he was afraid of her, but rather, he was wary of the young lady named Zhu Shiyao.

He could sense that she was a whole major realm above him.

After all, the other party is also a direct disciple of the Elder of the Spirit Sword Sect, surely possessing numerous magical treasures. If it really came to a fight, the odds of victory would be extremely slim.

At this moment, Susu seemed to have thought of something, “I heard you want to buy a sword, could it be that you are a sword cultivator?”

“So what if I am, and what if I’m not?” Lin Mo stared intently at the petulant girl who only reached his shoulder, unsure of what trick she was about to play.

“I have a suggestion, how about you compare swords with my senior sister, and we’ll use this Xuanbing Fruit as the wager?” Susu’s face was brimming with a confident smile, as if she held the winning hand.

“What will I get if I put up the Xuanbing Fruit? What will you offer?” Lin Mo asked the question any normal person would.

“What should I offer…?” Susu hadn’t really thought about what to wager, as she had never considered the possibility of losing.

After a long pause, she looked at the sword in her hand with some reluctance, “Can I wager my sword?”

Lin Mo naturally didn’t understand the value of the sword, but there was an expert present. He glanced at the young lady Zi, “Miss Zi, could you please help me assess whether this sword is worth my Xuanbing Fruit?”

Miss Zi understood and smiled at Lin Mo, then walked towards Susu, “Miss Susu, please hand over your sword for me to examine!”

Without saying much, Susu handed over her sword.

The ranks of weapons are divided into: Mortal Treasure, Spirit Treasure, Magical Treasure, Immortal Treasure, and Divine Weapon, each further classified into upper, middle, and lower grades.

Miss Zi used her spiritual power to feel the sword Susu handed over, then said, “Miss Susu, your sword is an upper-grade Mortal Treasure, valued at 800 medium-grade spirit stones, while this gentleman’s Xuanbing Fruit is valued at 7,800 medium-grade spirit stones.”

The 7,800 medium-grade spirit stones were the price previously agreed upon. If calculated with the additional sixty percent added by Zhu Shiyao later, it would exceed ten thousand.

Susu hadn’t expected the Xuanbing Fruit to be so expensive, and here she was, wagering an item nearly ten times less valuable than her opponent’s. Wasn’t this just like the opponent raising the price tenfold?

She felt her face burning with embarrassment, her heart filled with both shame and awkwardness.

[Ding, detected someone feeling regret because of the host, absorbed 250 regret points.]

Lin Mo: “…….”, these 250 regret points, why does it feel like the regret is all directed at cursing him?

However, the regret points he obtained were indeed a significant amount more than what he got from his junior brothers and sisters at Qingzhu Peak.

Susu is an inner disciple of a first-grade sect, and her relationship with him could be described as ‘enmity’. Judging by her behavior, she is someone who cares greatly about ‘face’.

The large amount of regret points he received was closely related to these three matters.

“Miss Zi, could you please assess the value of my sword as well?”

Zhu Shiyao proactively took down the sword hanging from her slender waist and handed it to Miss Zi.

The moment she took the sword, Miss Zi felt a sharp sword intent spread throughout her body.

Her eyes lit up instantly, “A Magical Treasure quality spirit sword!”
