"Sigh..." Shen Qingyao let out a soft sigh. "I suppose that's our only choice."
"Shopkeeper, we're a bit short on silver, so we'll have to take our leave." Chen Cheng said, turning to Bi Ziqian before pulling Shen Qingyao to depart.
"Please, wait a moment, you two." Bi Ziqian said, the words clearly paining him. "The price is negotiable. Since you've come to the Hundred Treasures Studio, we are fated to meet.
How about this? The Hundred Treasures Studio will take a small loss. We'll sell this Snow Silkworm to you for nine thousand taels of silver. Consider it a gesture of goodwill to befriend you both."
"Making you take a loss doesn't seem right, Shopkeeper," Chen Cheng said with hesitation.
Bi Ziqian forced a smile and said, "Our shop is taking a bit of a loss, yes, but befriending two esteemed young masters like yourselves is a gain in its own right. On that note, please also consider the matter of becoming Tributors.
