Chapter 270
Shopkeeper Lin stood at the door, watching the four figures disappear in the distance. He then whipped out the jade pendant and held it up against the light of the sun. The pendant shone with a green hue, and felt like holding a drop of water in his palm. Jade was common in the northwest, but a rare piece like this was hard to come by – probably only available in a place like Qinchuan Pass.
Just then, a man decorated with a jade belt and a crown approached from afar, and gruffly addressed him at the entrance, "Lin Si, what are you doing just standing out here?"
"Master…" Lin Si bowed respectfully, "I've just concluded a business arrangement for a boatload of realgar. This is the deposit they left."
"A whole boatload of realgar?" Master Ximen's eyes sparkled upon receiving the jade, "This is a quality jade piece, they're quite generous. Would make for a perfect gift."
"Is it for Madam Pan in the west market? She would definitely love this." Shopkeeper Lin fawned.
