99: If you think it's too expensive, you don't have to buy it! Tell the truth when making a deal

"Ah? I..."

The maid was clearly a bit confused by the words.

Apparently, she didn't know what Young Master Ye was doing!

After all, the bulk price being cheaper than the retail price is basic common sense!

But now, why was Ye An doing the opposite?

Was he really not afraid that Li Xiaotian wouldn't buy?

Just as the maid was thinking, Li Xiaotian actually looked at her and questioned him.

"I ask you, is your shop's retail price always cheaper than the bulk price?"

"This..."

The maid was clearly stunned.

If Ye An was acting crazy, deliberately making the bulk price higher than the retail price, she could understand that Ye An didn't want to do business with Li Xiaotian.

But now, Li Xiaotian was actually foolishly asking!

This made the maid even more confused.

It was like Ye An called Li Xiaotian an idiot, but Li Xiaotian actually asked others if he was an idiot!

Was Li Xiaotian's brain kicked by a donkey?

But very quickly, the maid realized that something seemed off.

Ye An was quoting random prices, but Li Xiaotian could completely choose not to buy!

But why did he still need to verify?

Did he have some compelling reason to buy?

With this thought, recalling what Ye An had said earlier, that the Li family caravan seemed to have been robbed last night.

And Li Xiaotian's caravan had clearly arrived, but he absolutely refused to go down.

Now, he was coming to the Ye family to buy Medicinal Pills.

This series of abnormal actions all seemed to indicate that what Ye An said was true!

And as soon as she thought of this, the maid immediately understood what Ye An was going to do.

No wonder he dared to play with Li Xiaotian like this.

It turned out that Li Xiaotian was now truly in a difficult position!

If they couldn't get Medicinal Pills from the Ye family, their shop wouldn't be able to open today.

And if it couldn't open, then all of Li Xiaotian's efforts these past days would be in vain!

As soon as she thought of this, the maid quickly said.

"Yes! It seems to be like that!"

"What do you mean, 'it seems to be like that'?!"

"You're in this shop, don't you know the difference between retail price and bulk price?"

Li Xiaotian questioned with an ugly expression.

The maid also reacted quickly and said hurriedly.

"Young Master Li, you can't blame me!"

"Although I help out in this shop!"

"But don't you know what kind of place Ye Family Pass is?"

"People in this kind of place buying Medicinal Pills, saving one Spirit Stone means they can wait two days at your shop!"

"Do you think with such purchasing power, is there anyone in Ye Family Pass who can, like you, buy everything in bulk the moment they make a move?"

"Let alone everything, I'm afraid no one can even manage to buy a portion in bulk!"

"So I've never even sold at a bulk price!"

"Young Master Ye was sent here by the Patriarch to help!"

"So if he says the bulk price is higher than the retail price, then it must be so!"

"You!"

Hearing the maid's reply, Li Xiaotian felt like his lungs were about to explode!

He looked at Ye An, then at the maid, clearly not knowing what to do for a moment!

Ye An, seeing this, feigned confusion and said.

"Young Master Li, I'm just baffled!"

"If you think our shop's prices are too expensive!"

"You can simply not buy, after all, no one is forcing you!"

"At worst, you can buy them one by one instead of in bulk!"

"That would save a lot of money!"

"Why are you arguing about a bulk price?"

"You!"

Li Xiaotian was so angry he almost vomited blood.

Ye An spoke lightly.

But how could he know that he needed these Medicinal Pills to prepare for the shop's opening!

Buying them one by one, how long would it take him?

He was afraid that the gong and drum team and the lion dance team outside would die of exhaustion, and he still wouldn't have bought five hundred Medicinal Pills!

But he couldn't say it directly.

Otherwise, Ye An would definitely raise the price even more, and then it would be even harder to get out of this predicament.

Li Xiaotian thought and looked at the shopkeeper next to him.

The shopkeeper was also sweating profusely at this moment, and seeing Li Xiaotian look at him, he quickly shifted his gaze elsewhere.

Clearly, he also had no solution!

Li Xiaotian saw that the shopkeeper wasn't looking at him at all, and was so angry he almost exploded on the spot.

Gritting his teeth, Li Xiaotian could only pull out another three or four hundred Spirit Stones and place them on the table.

"This is all I have!"

"Are you going to sell or not, give me a definite answer!"

Li Xiaotian almost shouted through gritted teeth.

The maid, seeing this, also understood that she had guessed correctly.

Li Xiaotian was willing to pay a high price to buy them.

What else could it be but his caravan being robbed?

Thinking, the maid gave Ye An a meaningful look.

As if to say.

"That's enough, these Spirit Stones are really a lot!"

However, Ye An pretended to be in a difficult position and said.

"Young Master Li, you're making this very difficult for me!"

"These prices were set by the higher-ups, if I sell them to you cheaper!"

"How can I explain it to them later?"

"You!"

Li Xiaotian was truly out of options.

At this moment, he had even thought of a retreat!

At worst, he would hide in his storage ring and not come out, letting his useless shopkeeper take him away.

In the future, he would simply never come to Ye Family Pass again!

Anyway, no one saw him, so he wouldn't see the embarrassing situation himself!

However, Ye An suddenly sighed and said.

"Alas! How about this?"

"I see Young Master Li is so eager to buy our Ye family's Medicinal Pills!"

"Then how about you just answer one question for me!"

"As long as you answer honestly, I'll sell you these Medicinal Pills cheaper!"

"Just the spiritual liquid and Spirit Stones you've offered will be enough!"

"What do you think?"

Li Xiaotian was startled by the words and quickly asked.

"What question?"

Ye An smiled and said.

"It's very simple, why do you absolutely have to buy our Ye family's Medicinal Pills?"

"I really can't figure this out; as long as you tell me the reason, I'll sell you the Medicinal Pills!"

"You!"

Li Xiaotian was speechless upon hearing this.

How could he explain the reason? Should he tell Ye An that his caravan had been robbed?

That would be too humiliating!

Moreover, he had just boasted earlier; wouldn't this be equivalent to being slapped in the face immediately?

But if he didn't say it, his shop wouldn't be able to open!

He could already hear low whispers outside.

If he didn't go down soon, something serious might really happen!

The shopkeeper next to him clearly had the same thoughts as Li Xiaotian!

So, after hearing Ye An's words, the shopkeeper also quickly looked at Li Xiaotian and whispered.

"Young Master Li, why not tell him!"

"Make him swear a blood oath to keep his word!"

"Even if he knows, what then!"

"The most important thing is for us to get the Medicinal Pills for the emergency!"

Although Li Xiaotian felt humiliated, he had no other choice at the moment!

After all, he couldn't really fail to open the business, could he?

It wouldn't be a big deal if he couldn't open; he wouldn't lose a limb.

He could even hide in his storage ring and leave.

But if he really did that.

He would probably be infamous for ten thousand years!

Even when the news spread back to Jianglan City.

He probably wouldn't be able to get by in Jianglan City!

As soon as he thought of this, Li Xiaotian could only grit his teeth and say.

"Alright!"

"As long as you make a blood oath to keep your word and sell me the Medicinal Pills!"

"I'll tell you!"

Ye An smiled upon hearing this and immediately made a blood oath.

Li Xiaotian, seeing this, didn't waste any more words, took a deep breath, and said.

"Our Li family caravan... was robbed... last night!"

Ye An was startled by the words and quickly asked.

"What did you say? I didn't hear clearly!"

Li Xiaotian's face was ashen, and he raised his voice slightly, saying.

"Our Li family caravan was robbed last night!"

"Are you satisfied now!"
