Yi Ling looked at Mo Tian, her fingers tapping slowly on the table. She slowly instructed Linyu on what to say through telepathy. Though she was weak right now, she was confident in Linyu's power. She knew that Mu Xin was overprotective of her. Why else would he let Tefei guard her all these years and now make Linyu accompany her as well? She felt comforted that Mu Xin cared about her. She smiled.
"Since the cat's out of the bag, what's in it for us?" Linyu said, echoing Yi Ling's words.
"If the young masters do have what I need, I would like to strike a deal," Mo Tian declared.
"And what kind of deal are we talking about?"
"My Mo Family owns a bunch of medical shops in all the low-ranked kingdoms. For us, having spiritual water would be a great help. Though I wanted to bid earlier, I didn't bring enough money with me since the spiritual water wasn't part of the announced list. Not to mention, I bought the spiritual sword. I would assume that the young masters don't need money since you only wanted to sell one. So, I wonder if the young masters need any help or want something in trade?" Mo Tian's forehead started to sweat.
He didn't dare ask their names since they weren't even willing to show their faces. He also noticed that the one talking to him kept glancing at the younger man, seemingly looking for answers before responding. He bet his entire fortune that the younger man had the higher status. Plus, Linyu was emitting a cold aura. Linyu didn't have a warm personality like Mu Xin. He wasn't used to socializing. He only wanted to get stronger to protect his master.
Linyu looked at Yi Ling. They conversed for a while in their heads. Mo Tian was getting anxious. Even though he had shown a calm manner earlier, he couldn't help it now. This was because it was a big deal for his family. His grandfather would surely be happy if he got one of those bottles. Seeing that no one was answering, he added, "Anything at all? My Mo Family will surely help." This time, he looked at the younger man.
Yi Ling rubbed her chin while looking back at Mo Tian. She didn't notice anything suspicious about the deal so far. The fact that she could earn a lot of herbs from this deal without paying a dime was very appealing. Just a bottle of water from her big pond. Her smile went wide all the way to her eyes. Good thing she was wearing a mask, or else she would certainly scare her guests. Linyu noticed her smiling eyes. Master must have some sly ideas again, he thought. He couldn't help but feel bad for the Mo Family.
