Seeing that it was about time, Zhou Shu coughed lightly. “Since Family Head
Peng is so sincere, the third grotto-heaven divine weapon will belong to the Peng family.”
“No, my Yun family’s offer isn’t lower than the Peng family’s,” a family head said unhappily.
“My family’s price is thirty percent higher than the Peng family’s!”
The other family heads were also unhappy.
“Family Head Dong, although it’s your freedom to sell your things to whoever you want, you can’t tease us like this, right?” the family heads said angrily.
“Everyone, don’t be angry. Let me finish.” Zhou Shu smiled. “Everyone should know the situation of the Peng family.
“Family Head Peng, sorry for being rude. The situation of the Peng family is similar to that of my Dong family. Even if it’s better, it’s limited. I know how much the Peng family can offer according to my Dong family’s situation,” Zhou Shu said seriously.
“What Family Head Peng has offered is already the limit of what the Peng family can offer, but I’m afraid it might not be the case for everyone.
“One person has 10 ,ooo taels of silver, and he takes out 150 taels of silver, and there is someone who only has 100 taels of silver, but he takes out 100 taels of silver. Which one do you think is more sincere?”
Everyone frowned. Can it be calculated that way? You don’t want to earn money?
Only the Peng family head looked touched. “That’s right. My Peng family is willing to give up everything for this grotto-heaven divine weapon. Which one of you can compare to me?”
He looked at Zhou Shu with a sense of confidence. I used to dislike him. Now, I’ve realized that he’s a good person. He’s my confidant! In the future, my Peng family must interact well with the Dong family and help each other.
“Family Head Dong, that doesn’t make sense, right? Didn’t we agree that the one with the highest price would get it?” a family head said unhappily. We are not bidding for women. What sincerity is there to talk about? We offer a higher price. This is the truth!
“That’s right. You just said it yourself. The highest bidder wins!” another family head said.
How many years had it been since a grotto-heaven divine weapon appeared in the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom? How could they let this grotto-heaven divine weapon fall into the hands of someone else?
“We’re offering higher prices now. The last grotto-heaven divine weapon should belong to us. Family Head Dong, you can’t disobey the rules, right?”
The family heads who didn’t manage to snatch the grotto-heaven divine weapon glared at Zhou Shu and the Peng family head.
The Cao family head and the Mi family head had already gotten what they wanted. The two of them sat at the side as if they were watching a show.
There was another person watching the show—Mu Zhixing.
Mu Zhixing’s eyes darted around, seemingly up to no good.
Seeing Zhou Shu toy with these people, he became even more envious. They’re helping Zhou Shu count the money even after he sold them out. They’re simply forcing Zhou Shu to take their money! There are actually such fools in the world!
“Alas…” Zhou Shu sighed and looked at the Peng family head apologetically. “Family Head Peng, we have a deep friendship. I originally wanted to help you, but look…”
The smile on the Peng family head’s face was a little stiff, but he still said,
“Family Head Dong, no matter what you decide, I can feel your friendship. From now on, you are my brother. If you have anything to say, I will do anything I can to help you!”
The others pursed their lips. If you don’t have money, so be it. What’s the point of making friends?! Who doesn’t know how to say such cheap words?
“Family Head Dong, we’re all friends. Business is business, and it doesn’t affect our friendship. My family is willing to add another 10%,” a family head said.
“I don’t need another 10%.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “It’s like this. Because I’ve comprehended the art of forging, I’ve gained a little. But the art of forging is vast and profound. I’ve only just crossed the threshold. There are still many things I need to learn.
“Our nine families all have clan-protecting divine artifacts. These connate divine artifacts contain the principles of heaven and earth. If I can comprehend a bit, it will be very helpful to my forging skills…”
The Ji family head frowned. “Family Head Dong, what do you mean?”
“It’s nothing. I was just wondering if I could borrow the Ji family’s divine artifact to comprehend for a few days if it’s convenient.” Zhou Shu smiled. “If my forging skills can improve again, I might be able to forge one or two more grotto-heaven divine weapons in a hundred years. In that case, everyone won’t have to fight over them. Everyone will have them.”
“You want my family’s divine artifact?” The Ji family head’s face darkened.
Zhou Shu felt a little helpless. Why don’t these people understand human language? I just want to borrow it. Do you understand what I’m saying?
“Family Head Ji, what do you mean?” Zhou Shu said patiently. “How can I want your family’s divine artifact? I just want to borrow it to comprehend for a few days.
“Family Head Ji, if you’re worried, you can stay at our Dong family’s place. When I’m done comprehending, you can take it back.
“How can your family’s clan-protecting divine artifact be easily snatched away by outsiders?
“Family Head Ji, you might not know this, but once forgers like us begin to forge, we are full of interest in forging. We want to study any divine weapon we see, let alone such a connate divine artifact..
