Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

When Gu Chan arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Tianyang was already waiting for her in the lobby in the front yard.

Seeing Gu Chan coming, he waved and said, "Sit down! I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Gu Chan walked to the first seat on his left and sat down. Her eyes rolled and she immediately lowered her head cunningly.

Ye Tianyang said curiously, "Why do you look unhappy so early in the morning?"

"Oh! When I opened my eyes in the morning, three million taels of silver were gone. How can I be happy? I urgently need the silver to rescue the people affected by the disaster in Jiangnan area! I am so sad to lose so much silver." Gu Chan said pretending to be aggrieved.

"What's going on?" Ye Tianyang asked.

Gu Chan felt aggrieved and told her everything about how Leng Yushizi had asked to sell three girls to her in the morning.

"Hahaha……"

After hearing this, Ye Tianyang laughed out loud.

Gu Chan said angrily, "You're still laughing? I'm so heartbroken. Why don't you just take care of your people and help me save some money!"

"Who told you not to control your lower body last night? Those innkeepers all used this trick to sell their own singing girls. This is an open secret in our Yaoye City. Who told you not to find out first?" Ye Tianyang said with a laugh.

"Then what price do they usually sell it to others?" Gu Chan asked.

"You definitely wouldn't sell it to others at this price. Your price is a bit high, but for you, the dignified Lord of Jiangnan in Tiancang Kingdom, this price is very low. There is no need for you to feel wronged." Ye Tianyang said comfortingly.

Gu Chan spread her hands and said, "That's true, but I don't have any cash right now! Why don't you pay for it first, and I'll pay you back slowly later!"

"What? You're planning to target me now?" Ye Tianyang said in a deep voice.

"That being said, how dare I set my sights on your Lordship of the Night City? It's because I really don't have that much cash. How about this! I'll sell you my shipload of herbs, what do you think?" Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

Ye Tianyang frowned and stared at Gu Chan. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell why for the moment, so he could only endure it.

After a moment's silence, he asked, "Is your shipload of herbs worth three million taels of silver?"

"Tsk! Are you underestimating me? The medicinal herbs on my ship are all top-grade ones, and there are two boxes of spiritual herbs, which are worth at least five million taels of silver." Gu Chan said cunningly.

"I don't believe it. You must be trying to trick me. I'm not that stupid. I won't be fooled by you." Ye Tianyang said with a sneer.

Although he had just met Gu Chan last night and didn't know much about her, he had already sent people to inquire about her. It was rumored that the new lord of Jiangnan in Tiancang Kingdom was an extremely shrewd and cunning character, who was by no means comparable to ordinary people.

Therefore, he is always wary of Gu Chan and dare not trust her easily.

Gu Chan was not in a hurry and said with a grin, "If you don't want to buy it, forget it. I won't force you, but you can at least give me a price!"

"Pricing? What does that mean?" Ye Tianyang asked puzzledly.

"This shipload of medicinal herbs of mine is really worth five million taels of silver. You have to give me a certificate to prove that it is indeed worth that much money. This way, I can then find the owners of drug stores in Yaoye City to do business with! Otherwise, I won't know what the market price of medicinal herbs in your Yexing Country is. If I sell them at a loss, wouldn't I suffer a great loss again?" Gu Chan said with an honest look on her face.

Ye Tianyang thought about it and didn’t think that what Gu Chan was talking about was a big deal. She undoubtedly just wanted to raise the price of her herbs and sell them for a good price later.

Thinking this way, he didn't pay much attention to the matter.

Gu Chan added, "City Lord Ye, you won't even give me this face!"

"I will definitely give you face and prove that I can prescribe for you. However, your shipload of herbs is worth five million taels of silver, which is really exaggerated. If you really use my certificate to sell them at such a high price, the owners of the pharmacies in Yaoye City will bother me. The most important thing is that I'm afraid they won't buy them at all and you won't be able to sell them!" Ye Tianyang said cautiously.

Gu Chan curled her lips when she heard this, thinking that this bastard did have some brains and was not so easy to fool. It was no wonder why the Second Prince Xuanyuan Lie had not been able to defeat him before.

"It seems like we need to take some more drastic measures." Gu Chan said to herself.

Looking up at Ye Tianyang, she smiled and said, "Thank you City Lord Ye for your concern. I am very grateful. In this case, what do you think is a suitable price for my shipload of herbs?"

"When I got on the boat last night, I took a quick look and thought it was worth at most 50,000 taels of silver. If you think I'm right, I can give you a certificate now stating the price is 50,000 taels of silver." Ye Tianyang said with his hands spread out.

Gu Chan was silent for a while after listening, cursing in her heart!

She admitted that Ye Tianyang, the Lord of Yaoye City, did have a sharp eye. She did not come to the border of Yexing Country to do the medicinal materials business, so the herbs she brought on the ship were just ordinary herbs. Only the box of spiritual herbs for show were slightly more expensive.

So Ye Tianyang was right. Her shipload of medicinal herbs was indeed only worth about 50,000 taels of silver, not much different.

At this moment, it was indeed extremely difficult for her to use her small strength to defeat the big with Ye Tianyang.

But Gu Chan would not give up just like that. After thinking about it, she immediately had an idea and said, "Well! City Lord Ye is right. On the surface, my shipload of herbs is indeed only worth this little bit of silver."

"What do you mean? What do you mean on the surface?" Ye Tianyang asked curiously.

"Lord Ye, some things are meaningless if they are said too bluntly. How about this, let's not talk about this matter for now. Didn't you invite me here today to ask me to help take a look at that strange disease? Why don't we study the strange disease first? What do you think?" Gu Chan said mysteriously.

Ye Tianyang was confused by her words on the spot.

Being suspicious by nature, he couldn't help but start thinking about the meaning of Gu Chan's words.

When Gu Chan didn't give him any response, she urged, "City Lord Ye, let's go! What are you still standing there for?"

"My Lord, I don't like guessing riddles. You'd better explain it to me clearly first." Ye Tianyang said coldly.

"Let's go! Take me to understand the strange disease first, and you will understand it naturally in a while." Gu Chan deliberately kept the suspense.

Seeing that she was unwilling to speak frankly, Ye Tianyang could only temporarily suppress his doubts, stood up and took her out of the lobby and went to the back garden.

Gu Chan followed behind him without saying a word, acting very knowledgeable, which aroused his curiosity even more.
