It was very strange. The storekeeper seemed to be unwilling to let Xia Fei and Fuchen leave, his eyes filled with disappointment.
"Did neither of you distinguished masters find any of these items to your liking?" the elderly man asked somewhat anxiously.
"Perhaps the next time," said Fuchen courteously.
Xia Fei's mind raced and he asked with a laugh. "I wonder if there are any decent repair shops for warships nearby? Our ship encountered some problems on our way here and is now in a bit of a fix."
The elderly man momentarily froze up but soon broke out into a big smile. "You've asked the right person, good sir. Somewhere not too far from Moontooth Port is a large repair dock. The boss of that place, who goes by the surname of Cai, has the best skills in the area. Many warships from foreign star regions will specifically come here to seek his expertise; why don't the two of you head over to look as well?"
