Feng Yin froze; he already knew the plank was a rare item, with considerable value, but he had no idea how much it was worth or how much to sell it for.
Otherwise, why would he use phrases like "merchants recognize the expert"?
But now he was caught in a difficult situation and had no choice but to stand firm: "Seeing as you seem to know your stuff, what's your offer? If it's reasonable, I'll sell it to you!"
"Why don't you just tell me what price you have in mind?"
The woman wasn't fooled, clearly seeing that Feng Yin was unsophisticated and unaware of the true worth of his possession, let alone its value.
Feng Yin immediately stiffened.
Damn, if I knew what price to ask for, would I have gone through the trouble of saying 'Merchants recognize the expert'?
He was about to declare it was for personal use and not for sale.
After all, what if he sold it at a loss?
