Chapter 54 A Gamble! Materials that have undergone two mutations!
Jiang Feng seriously suspected that the Zhao family were all idiots!
If he had told me sooner, I would have definitely changed him, and I wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble.
Now things are really messed up. The items have already been given to Su Lin, and even if we wanted them back, we couldn't. Whether or not to exchange them is entirely up to Su Lin. Isn't this ridiculous?
Not only did he think so, but Liu Sen, Wang Long, the Yang siblings, and even Su Lin were also puzzled.
"Since your goal is to exchange the Fire Elemental Spirit for the Gold Elemental Spirit, and you've already found it, why not make the exchange?"
Jiang Yuyao couldn't help but ask as well.
"Well……"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Zhao Lingyun's face.
"That fire elemental spirit certainly isn't in your Zhao family's hands, is it?"
At this moment, Su Lin spoke softly.
As an outsider, he saw things more clearly than anyone else.
Judging from Zhao Lingyun's eagerness today, if the item were truly in the Zhao family's hands, they probably wouldn't have waited even a day and would have come to exchange it long ago.
"you're right."
Zhao Lingyun hadn't expected Su Lin to be so clever, but since he'd already guessed it, he couldn't care less about being embarrassed.
"We've located the fire elemental spirit in a secret realm, but for some reason, we haven't had time to capture it yet."
"Originally, we wanted to subdue it as soon as possible, but then we heard that Uncle Jiang had found another beast pet for Brother Jiang Feng, so we weren't in such a hurry anymore. We thought we should try to settle things with money first, and then give it to Brother Jiang Feng after we had actually subdued it..."
Hearing this, everyone understood.
The Zhao family really has a very good plan.
Elemental spirits are rare and precious things that money can't buy most of the time.
Perhaps they initially intended to barter, but later it became clear that they wanted to take advantage of a loophole and keep both pets.
As for money?
For these large families, problems that can be solved with money are not really problems.
"Alright, alright, I'm afraid if this spirit hadn't been given to Brother Lin, your Zhao family would never have mentioned the fire spirit at all. And you're giving it to me? I'd really believe you!"
Jiang Feng showed Zhao Lingyun absolutely no mercy.
He had always disliked this guy, who always pretended to be a hypocrite, arrogant and looking down on everyone, yet he still acted like a humble and approachable person.
Unlike Jiang Feng, who likes to show off, he does it openly and says whatever he thinks!
"this……"
Zhao Lingyun was extremely embarrassed that his thoughts had been exposed, but at this moment, everything else was secondary. He quickly changed the subject and looked at Su Lin:
"Su Lin, no matter what, my suggestion should be pretty good for you, right?"
"To you, there's no difference between gold and fire elemental spirits, and you've already made so much money and gained favor with my Zhao family. Isn't this the best outcome?"
Upon hearing this, everyone else fell silent.
They quickly went through it in their minds.
To be fair, normally speaking, Su Lin didn't lose out in this deal; in fact, he made a huge profit!
There was simply no reason to refuse.
Even Jiang Feng and Jiang Yuyao couldn't help but want to remind Su Lin to agree.
but.
To everyone's surprise, Su Lin shook his head decisively.
"Sorry, I refuse."
"Why!?"
Zhao Lingyun finally lost her temper, and her face immediately showed anger!
Normally, I wouldn't even give you a second glance if you were just an E-rank professional!
I've been rambling on and on, appealing to your emotions and reasoning with you, my mouth is practically dry, and you still won't listen?!
That's incredibly disrespectful!
"Zhao, there's no need to be angry. To be honest, this gold elemental spirit is really useless to me."
Facing Zhao Lingyun's murderous gaze, Su Lin remained calm and unhurried.
But what he said left everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.
Brother, you yourself said it's useless, but you still won't sell it. Doesn't that make people angry?
Oh my god, you've completely offended them!
But Su Lin's next words silenced everyone.
"I want this pet for Qingli. As you know, she is also a warrior-type class, so this pet is quite suitable for her."
So it turns out it was a gift?
Or should it be given to the city lord's daughter, Lin Qingli, an SSS-rank super genius?
Oh.
What else is there to say!
That's reasonable, very reasonable.
In an instant, everyone realized what was happening, but they all showed complicated expressions.
Everyone present couldn't help but ask themselves these questions.
Such a valuable pet, given away without hesitation, could they really do that?
Even the siblings on the field hesitated!
After all, this is a major event that affects a professional's entire life!
In the path of martial arts, if you're slow on one step, you'll be slow on every step. Who wouldn't want to fight tooth and nail to become stronger? Where would you find so many resources to share with others?
Even Zhao Lingyun felt his heart sink completely after hearing Su Lin's reason.
wry smile.
A helpless, bitter smile.
If it were anyone else, he could offer even more money to buy it from the other party, or even resort to assassination, robbery, or all sorts of dirty tricks!
But... it just so happens to be Lin Qingli.
Leaving aside Lin Xiong, the city lord, just considering her status as an SSS-rank super genius, she's already attracting the attention of countless powerful figures.
The Zhao family is a considerable force in Jiangyang City, but outside the city, they're nothing.
It’s over.
This time it's completely hopeless.
"Since that's the case, then it's me..."
Zhao Lingyun's lips curled into a bitter smile, her heart bleeding.
"etc."
However, before he could finish speaking, Su Lin interrupted:
"Zhao, I was quite interested in the treasure you mentioned earlier that can cause elemental spirits to mutate a second time. Since you don't need it anyway, why don't you name your price?"
Upon hearing this, the people around seemed to think it was perfectly normal.
A gentleman helps others achieve their goals. Anyway, Zhao Lingyun has no chance with this beast pet. What's the point of keeping those materials? You might as well sell them to Lin Qingli. Regardless of how much money you make, at least you can build a good relationship, which will benefit you in the future.
but.
To everyone's surprise, Zhao Lingyun looked deeply at Su Lin upon hearing this, but slowly shook his head:
"I'm sorry, Su Lin, I'm not selling that document."
Not for sale?!
Everyone was taken aback.
Su Lin frowned slightly.
But he reacted extremely quickly; almost instantly, he adopted an angry expression and sneered:
"What, so this is all the petty person you are, Zhao Lingyun? If I don't sell to you, you won't sell to me?"
"Say what you will, I'm not selling."
Zhao Lingyun shook her head again.
That's right, Su Lin was right. He was indeed petty. He even remembered the reminder Jiang Feng had given Su Lin earlier. So, if Jiang Feng came to him to ask about the fire elemental spirit, he definitely wouldn't reveal a single word!
"No room for negotiation whatsoever?!"
Just as everyone was still finding it hard to believe that Zhao Lingyun was so stingy, Su Lin quickly questioned him in a cold voice.
"Unless you sell me the Gold Elemental Spirit," Zhao Lingyun said coldly.
"Nonsense! What use would I have for those materials if I sold them to you?!"
"Sorry, not for sale!"
"What if I insist?"
"You can give it a try!"
"Let's give it a try, Zhao Lingyun. Here's the deal: we'll make a bet today. I'll wager the Gold Elemental Spirit. If you lose, you give me the materials that will allow it to mutate a second time. If I lose, I'll give you the Gold Elemental Spirit. Are you in?!"
"Is this really true?!"
