'Besides.'
'If really tried to exploit this opportunity through underhanded means… that might provoke the store's owner.'
The air chilled slightly.
No one spoke, but they all nodded.
Senior Hao.
That mysterious storekeeper who sold heaven-defying products and, for some reason, acted as if he were just an ordinary cultivator.
Even going so far as to restart his own cultivation from scratch.
He was kind. He was casual. But he was definitrly not someone to be used.
And if they did use him - if they took advantage of his store to run scams or cheat another realm - who knew what consequences might follow?
Would he shut them out forever?
Would he stop the supply of those miraculous items?
Or worse, would they vanish one day, only to find themselves crippled in body and soul, forgotten by the world?
No one dared imagine it.
So no. This would be handled with care.
Fairly. Properly.
And most importantly… with full respect to Senior Hao.
They were not fools.
