Chapter 123: Not Ancient Martial Arts
Translator: Tim Editor: Chrissy
An Yan, standing beside Ye Mo, froze. Someone actually wanted to pay 300,000 for a necklace? She immediately reacted, contemptuously saying, โYou can tell they're working together; they're not professional at all.โ
However, the youth beside her seriously said, โThey arenโt working together. I know that old monk. Heโs from that ancient stall; he seems to be from Jue Yun Temple. That sort of person would never do such a thing. It seems the necklace may really be a magic artifact.โ
โAhโฆโ An Yan exclaimed. She hadnโt expected the person to increase the price to be an old monk from an ancient stall. This was a clear sign that Ye Moโs items were real.
โHow about I buy one for you?โ The youth, knowing An Yan liked the necklace and wanting to please her, said immediately, seeing her expression.
โOkay, I want one, butโฆโ An Yan had wanted one but couldnโt bring herself to do it for the sake of her dignity. However, she hadnโt expected things to turn out like this. The product she thought to be fake had become popular. She immediately thought the necklace was gone; otherwise, why would the old monk be fighting over one with the woman?
Ye Mo hadnโt expected to find someone who knew his wares, but heโd already sold his item to the woman and wouldnโt sell it to a second person. Seeing the woman look over, Ye Mo immediately said, โYou came first, you pay.โ
At this moment, everyone around understood that the old monk came from the ancient stall. Even he was buying Ye Moโs item, so this meant Ye Moโs items were real. At this moment, more and more people came to Ye Moโs stall.
The middle-aged man, realizing heโd made a great deal, quickly approached Ye Mo, saying, โIf you trust me, Iโll give you a check and help you with the tax.โ
Ye Mo didnโt care much; it was good as long as he got the money, and he indeed didnโt have a card.
Hearing this, the woman and the youth agreed. Ye Mo was alone and couldnโt leave with these people, but they were all honest. When they left to handle the tax, they didnโt take the items.
The youth with An Yan immediately approached Ye Mo politely, saying, โFriend, do you have any more necklaces? Can you sell one to me? Or we can order one; the price is no problem.โ
Ye Mo, seeing the annoying woman hadnโt approached and feeling a little better, immediately replied, โSorry, the necklaces are gone, and you canโt order them. A master told me to sell them for him. Theyโre gone after these five.โ
Hearing Ye Moโs words, not only the youth but also An Yan were disappointed. She truly regretted not buying one for 100,000.
However, more and more people were asking about them. The youth, seeing Ye Mo was indeed sold out, could only set his sights on the two whoโd just bought them. They each had one. He wondered if theyโd sell one to her. Thinking this, the youth said to the girl, โHello, you bought three necklaces; could you sell one to me? I can pay an extra 100,000.โ
The girl immediately raised the corner of her mouth, saying annoyedly, โDo you think Iโm someone who needs your 100,000?โ
The people around could tell the girl indeed didnโt need the 100,000.
Ye Mo sighed to himself. It seemed the brand power of the ancient character was effective. Heโd sold three to the middle-aged man purely due to luck, but the people who came later were because of the old monk and his brand.
At this moment, the old monk was still investigating the pills inside Ye Moโs bottle. He kept sniffing and even asked if Ye Mo could take them out for him to see. Of course, Ye Mo didnโt mind; the old monk had helped him advertise. Although heโd pretty much sold his necklaces, he was still grateful to the old monk.
The middle-aged man, the woman, and the youth had all come back. The middle-aged man had a 2,000,000 check for Ye Mo and said, โThe other two have given me the money, and I helped you get a check. Iโve paid the tax for you already.โ
Ye Mo had an even better impression of the middle-aged man. He was probably afraid Ye Mo would be tricked and took the money and helped Ye Mo get a check. It could be seen that he was a man of morality; otherwise, he wouldnโt have done this.
Ye Mo took the check and said, โThank you, but I donโt have that much money.โ
The middle-aged man smiled and waved, โI know. I still want to buy a few bottles of your pills. Letโs see how many pills I can buy with the rest of the money, and just give me a few bottles.โ
Before Ye Mo could say anything, hearing the middle-aged manโs words, the old monk said, โPatron, Iโll take the rest of the pills; name your price.โ It seemed the old monk was afraid others would buy the rest and spoke first.
Indeed, as soon as the old monk spoke, people on the side began to regret it.
Ye Mo smiled, โOkay, 200,000 a pill then. However, Iโm not a patron; Iโll be taking money.โ Ye Mo knew that of all the people here, he was probably the poorest, but he didnโt feel it necessary to charge more.
Ye Mo took four bottles and gave them to the middle-aged man, saying, โThere are two bottles of the same emergency pill, one bottle of beauty pill, and another bottle is for cultivation. Iโve written down the specifics on the paper inside the bottle. Open it and look.โ
The remaining six bottles were all bought by the old monk.
Seeing that Ye Moโs things were really bought by the old monk, more people immediately rushed to buy, but Ye Mo had sold everything.
Seeing that even Ye Moโs pills were sold out and he was preparing to leave, An Yan realized sheโd gotten nothing. If what the old monk said was true, then his beauty pills must really have those effects?
The most important thing, however, was that the necklace sheโd wanted first was gone. This immediately made An Yan feel things were unfair and she could no longer worry about her dignity. She squeezed in and said to Ye Mo, โI saw your things first. I wonโt ask to buy one now, but can you reserve a necklace for me?โ
Her tone had obviously softened. Now that she thought about it, she really liked that necklace, but as the youth had said, there was only one opportunity. She could earn 200,000 again, but the opportunity wouldnโt come back.
Now, even the middle-aged man felt An Yan was being ridiculous. Sheโd just said Ye Moโs things were trash worth only a few hundred dollars, but now she was asking to order. He couldnโt help but shake his head. Luckily, he hadnโt heeded this womanโs words; otherwise, he would really be regretting it.
Ye Mo really wanted to take pre-orders and go back to continue making them, but he knew this thing could only stop now. He could still make excuses now, but if he made too much, it would be hard to explain. Plus, this thing had been exposed too much due to that old monk.
Thinking this, Ye Mo could only say, โReally sorry, but Iโm selling these for someone else. As for whether there will be more, I really canโt guarantee. Perhaps I will sell more at the next exhibition, but it mainly depends on whether there will be more products.โ
Ye Mo didnโt seal the deal. After all, this money was too easy to earn. Perhaps he would need money again and could come back to earn another round. And, this exhibition happened every year; it was just held at different places.
Seeing Ye Mo say this, many people walked away in disappointment. Although they were disappointed, they didnโt regret too much. After all, it was just a magic artifact; no one had really seen its powers.
However, only the middle-aged man and the old monk didnโt leave. Even An Yan left in anger, cursing Ye Mo countless times.
โIโm Yi Jiuhe; I run a few companies, and this is my card. If you need any help, please ask.โ Then, Yi Jiuhe took out his card. His many years of experience in the business industry made him feel Ye Mo wasnโt an ordinary person. Thus, he wanted to connect with him, so he left a card. Ye Mo didnโt have a card nor a phone, so he could only say something polite.
After waiting a while, Ye Mo didnโt give him a name card. Although Yi Jiuhe was disappointed, he saw the old monk wanted to talk to Ye Mo, so he could only take his two daughters and leave.
โDad, this is the first time I see you give a name card, but the person didnโt give one back,โ one of the girls following Yi Jiuhe said.
โSister, youโre wrong; itโs not that this person doesnโt want to give Dad a card. See, he didnโt even have a bank card; how can he have a name card? I think he probably doesnโt even have a phone. Perhaps this thing really was made by a master living in the mountains who gave it to him to sell,โ the other girl immediately rebuked.
Yi Jiuheโs eyes brightened. He immediately realized Ye Mo quite possibly didnโt have a name card and it wasnโt that he didnโt want to be connected to him. Then, he couldnโt help but pat the girlโs head and say, โMhm, Yan Yan is right; he doesnโt look like an arrogant person. He is truly a master. And you two need to remember to wear your necklaces at all times.โ
Seeing the middle-aged man leave with his two girls and Ye Moโs stall was empty, the old monk said, โIโm Wu Guang from Jue Yun Temple. What is your surname, patron?โ
Ye Mo thought and looked at the small ancient character at the edge of the old monkโs sleeve and asked, โMay I ask Elder Wu Guang if youโre from the ancient martial arts sects?โ
The old monk nodded and said, โAncient martial arts arenโt easy; they usually donโt come into the world. Iโm just a normal monk in Jue Yun Temple; however, I came to this exhibition to help some ancient martial arts sects sell some things. I do have a few things I wish to inquire about, patron. Do you have time?โ
Ye Mo was greatly disappointed. So the people here werenโt really from the ancient martial arts sects, but those who came to sell their things. It seemed it would be hard for him to ask about Luo Susu.
