"You just tell him that knife has already been sold." As soon as this was mentioned, Young Master Di's face darkened; he was a true second-generation rich kid.
"Haha! Shopkeeper Gao, I hope you will excuse my uninvited visit." Just as Gao Xue'e finished speaking, a laugh echoed from outside the door.
"I wondered who it was; it turns out to be the esteemed Young Master Di. I apologize for not welcoming you properly!" Gao Xue'e stood up, offered a simple bow, and then turned to instruct his assistant, "Prepare some tea!"
"No, no, it is I who has been rude. I came here because I heard that Extreme Goods Workshop recently acquired a knife, and I would like to take a look at it."
"Young Master Di has come at an inopportune time; that knife was already sold at today's auction." Gao Xue'e replied coolly. The Di Family was a significant force in Snow City, but Extreme Goods Workshop was not intimidated by them.
"Then please inform me who purchased it, and I shall retrieve it myself." This statement was in line with Young Master Di's usual style; anything he set his eyes on would be taken by any means necessary. Several times, items auctioned off by Extreme Goods Workshop had been seized by him through violence, nearly tarnishing the workshop's reputation.
"Extreme Goods Workshop does not inquire about the identities of our customers. If Young Master Di wishes to obtain that item, you may seek it out yourself."
"Very well! Just watch closely, Shopkeeper Gao. As long as that person hasn't left Snow City, that knife will belong to me. Farewell!"
"Then I wish Young Master Di good luck. Take care." Gao Xue'e stood up and made a gesture to see him off.
"Shopkeeper, should we send someone to notify..." An assistant stepped forward, but Shopkeeper Gao instructed him to prepare tea instead. He knew he couldn't have a meaningful conversation with someone from the Di Family.
"No need; I actually hope the Di Family comes." Gao Xue'e said with a half-smile.
"Why is that?" The assistant was puzzled. In the past, they would always inform buyers of hidden whereabouts when auctioning off significant items. Today, this guest was personally received by Shopkeeper Gao; whether or not he reminded the other party was unknown.
"Don't pry into things. Tell the brothers to be cautious of the Di Family." At this moment, Mo Wen inside the inn had no idea that he had stirred up a conflict between two factions in Snow City because of this Cang Yuehai.
...
"Boss, this knife looks fine." To ensure that no one had tampered with the item, Mo Wen had Xiao Hei check it thoroughly. "Boss, can you keep this knife for me?"
"Keep it for you? What do you want it for?" Mo Wen was surprised that Xiao Hei wanted this knife; mainly he wondered how he would use it.
"You can keep it for me until I transform and can practice with it." Xiao Hei's words carried a hint of shyness.
"When the time comes, I'll just forge you one; this item isn't anything special." Although Mo Wen hadn't seen many good items, this knife fell short compared to the one he already possessed. Of course, due to its material, its overall quality was indeed superior to his straight blade. If reforged, its quality could be even higher. But that wasn't why Xiao Hei wanted it.
"Alright, let me be honest with you; I'm planning to use it for cutting meat. I think this knife should work well for that." Xiao Hei finally admitted the truth; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain himself.
"Boss, aren't we being a bit too ostentatious?" Xiao Hei looked at Mo Wen with confusion. Sometimes Boss Mo was overly cautious in ways that were hard to understand, yet at other times he was excessively high-profile when caution was warranted—like now when he was parading around with an auctioned knife as if announcing to everyone that he had acquired a treasure and inviting them to come and snatch it away.
