Dugu Yifeng and his men helped Han Xi onto the ox-cart and slowly drove the ox-cart to the Third Elder Inn. As soon as he arrived, a waiter in the inn put the towel in his hand onto his shoulder, and then jogged towards the crowd: "Guests, do you want to stay in the inn or to eat?"

"Oh, we're looking for Ol 'Three, for dinner. Waiter, you're a newcomer, I've never seen you before! " It was Han Luo who spoke first. After all, he was the oldest here.

"Oh, I've indeed just arrived. So it turns out that the few of you are frequent customers!"

"Come, come, come!" The waiter called for everyone to walk inside.

At this moment, Tie San had just come out from the back kitchen. When he saw Han Luo and his men supporting the heavily injured Han Xi, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong, what happened?"

Without waiting for Han Luo to reply, he ordered the waiter beside him, "Tian San, hurry and clean up the room. Go quickly!"

At this moment, Han Luo was finally able to reply to Tie San. "Third brother, it's fine. Don't worry, we'll probably have to rest here for the night."

"Don't say so much. Sit down and explain slowly."

Han Luo explained to Tie San what had happened in brief. Tie San didn't say much and just let them rest after the waiter helped them carry away the ox-cart.

In the evening, Dugu Yifeng and Han Luo shared a room. Tie San's tavern was also not big, and there weren't many guest rooms. The big guys could only squeeze together, leaving Han Xi with a room. Just as the two of them were resting, a knock suddenly came from outside the door.

"Who?" Han Luo heard a knock on the door and shouted outside.

However, there was no sound coming from outside the door ?

"Who would come here at this time? We don't seem to know anyone in East Rock ?" At this moment, the puzzled Han Luo had already walked to the door and was preparing to open it.

When he opened the door, he saw a rather handsome young man standing outside. He looked like he was the son of a rich family. He was around sixteen to seventeen years old. Behind him stood a man dressed in butler's clothes. He looked to be around forty years old.

Han Luo searched through the two's memories. After confirming that he had never seen this person before, he said, "May I ask, what brings you two here? We don't seem to know each other!"

"I can't come to find you because I don't know you?" The teenager replied with a smile.

Han Luo stifled his laughter and said, "What little brother said makes sense. Please come in!"

When they entered the room and invited the youth to take a seat, Han Luo was the first to speak. "Little brother, can you explain your purpose for coming?"

The young man smiled, then gestured to the butler behind him. The butler then took out a stack of silver notes and placed it on the table. The young man then said, "This is a thousand taels of silver. I'll use it to buy your snow fox skin."

Dugu Yifeng took a glance at the banknotes. The words' Sacred 'were clearly printed on them, proving that they were the banknotes issued by the Divine Bank. Relying on these banknotes, he could directly obtain the corresponding cash from the large banks on the continent.

Han Luo looked at the silver notes on the table and did not immediately refuse. Then, after some thought, he opened his mouth and said, "One thousand two hundred taels!"

"This won't do, your Snow Fox fur is more or less worth this price. However, you've offended that Sky Tyrant Pawnshop, so the average person wouldn't dare to take your fox fur. One thousand taels is already a considerable price, it can't be any more," the butler behind the young man immediately said. The young man didn't say anything; it was clear that he had tacitly agreed.

Han Luo was silent. Dugu Yifeng also lightly shook his head at Han Luo. Clearly, the transaction was already in a difficult situation.

After a while, the youth seemed to have realized this and said to Han Luo, "How about this. I'll offer one thousand and one hundred taels, plus a hundred taels. We can't raise the price any further!"

"Young master, this ?" When the butler behind him heard his young master's words, he immediately prepared to persuade his young master.

"Deal!" At this moment, Dugu Yifeng suddenly spoke up. The corner of Han Luo's mouth lifted into a smile as he nodded his head in agreement.

"Uncle Sa, there's no need to say much. I've already made my decision!" The young man first suppressed the steward who was preparing to persuade him, then he said to Han Luo, "Alright, we're done!"

Then, he made Steward Satan take out another one hundred taels of silver and place it on the table. Han Luo also took the snow fox skin from the head of the bed.

The young man took the fox skin and examined it carefully. "It really is a high-quality fox skin. This fur is quite well-preserved. This transaction is worth it ?"

The youth examined the snow fox skin for a while before putting it away. He then said to Han Luo, "Han, Teacher Han, I'll keep the snow fox skin. You should keep your banknotes safe as well!" When the youth saw Han Luo dress up, he didn't know what to call Han Luo, so he called him 'sir'.

With that, he stood up, "Sir, and this brother, I will be troubling you today, and the butler and I will take our leave. In the future, if Sir finds any good goods, feel free to come to the Universal Martial Arts School and sell them to me." As he spoke, he cupped his fists and prepared to leave.

When Dugu Yifeng and Han Luo saw this, they also cupped their fists, "Take care!", and then escorted the youth out of the room.

After a while, they saw the youth off. Dugu Yifeng and Han Luo returned to the room. "Hahaha ?" This time, it was all thanks to your cleverness, Yi Feng, which matched it by shaking his head. Otherwise, that youth wouldn't have added a hundred silver taels in one go!

"That young man must have been fooled by your mature appearance. He looks like sixteen or seventeen, but he's only twelve years old!"

Dugu Yifeng also smiled. Indeed, if he was only a twelve or thirteen year old boy just now, the youth and the butler would not have been fooled. After all, the opinion of a twelve year old boy was insignificant.

In reality, if that youth really insisted on bidding only a thousand taels, Han Luo would sell it in the end. In East Rock City, Han Luo and the others had no way to sell this fox skin, and the only people they could sell it were those small merchants. However, that young man was right. Even those small merchants wouldn't dare to take Han Luo's Snow Fox skin after offending the Sky Tyrant Martial School.

This was one of the reasons why Han Luo didn't refuse the youth's request to buy the Snow Fox's skin. Han Luo and the others had originally planned to wait for a while, and then after the storm passed, secretly sell the Snow Fox's skin to a small merchant for some money.

Outside the inn, the young man had just walked out when the butler behind him impatiently asked: "Young Master, why did you add money just now? Even if it was a thousand liang, those people would have sold the Snow Fox skin to you. Isn't this just giving away money?"

However, the young man smiled and said, "Uncle Sa, we've already paid the bill. There's no point in speaking any further."

The steward was about to speak again. "Alright, steward, let this matter pass just like this. What you did today is not bad. The news arrived in time ?"

"That really has nothing to do with me. The main thing is that my two underlings spread the news just in time." The butler also smiled and said.

The young man didn't say much and walked in front. He thought to himself, "Of course I don't need to add that one hundred silver taels, but the most important thing I came here for is to see how that young man looks like. Buying snow fox skin is secondary ?"

"However, what's so special about this youth? Did the person in front of the pawnshop not make a move, or ?"
