Chapter 1404: Finish a Good Deed With Another Good Deed
The young girl fearfully retracted her neck and said to Lin Yuan, “Thank you, Lord. Thank you for bringing me in with you.”
The two guards looked at Lin Yuan in disbelief when he stuck up for the young girl. They did not understand why an elite dressed so lavishly would personally interfere in such a trivial matter.
Their eyes were trained to the point that they immediately recognized that Lin Yuan came from an impressive background. But instead of showing the usual joy at being able to welcome a VIP, they looked austere.
People from the Great Lush Federation turned up at Oak City often, and many chambers of commerce had set up branches in Oak City.However, the people from the Great Lush Federation who came to Oak City wearing such luxurious garments were usually either the heads of the chambers of commerce or the subordinates sent by the disciples of secret elite families to conduct a check.
Hence, the Great Lush Federation elites rarely went to a competitor’s chamber of commerce.
The two guards shared a look before one of them led Lin Yuan into the chamber of commerce while the other man ran upstairs to report this matter to the higher-ups.
Once Lin Yuan entered the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce, he noticed that the interior resembled the interior of the Radiance Federation’s Rare Lifeform Pavilion.
But compared to the Rare Lifeform Pavilion, the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce laid out goods that were on the heavier side.
When they walked through the entrance, the young girl nervously said to Lin Yuan, “Lord, thank you for taking me in. I have to go and trade for the Reducing Heat Grass now.”
Lin Yuan was slightly frustrated by what the young girl said.Just as she was about to walk away, he said, “It’s fine if you’re trying to save a C-rank spirit qi professional. But if you’re trying to save a D-rank spirit qi professional or a regular person, the Reducing Heat Grass will severely affect their organs negatively and cause them to start filling up with blood. If there’s a parasitic insect-species fey inside this person that has punctured this person’s organs, only a skilled healing-type spirit qi professional will be able to save them.”
Lin Yuan’s words caused the girl to freeze. Helplessness and sorrow bubbled up to the surface, and large beads of tears trickled down her face, leaving obvious streaks in their wake.
Lin Yuan gently wiped away her tears. As a result, some of the dirt on her face was transferred to his hand. She resembled a messy child that had been playing in the dirt.
He could understand how she was feeling. She did not have anyone to rely on and had to have undergone terrible hardships and mustered up unimaginable courage in order to earn that bag of coins.
But now, all that hope of being able to save that person that had been carrying her through all her struggles was dashed. She now saw how naive she had been. This desolation and despair could even cause an adult to crumble, much less a young girl.
Since he had encountered her and brought her into the chamber of commerce, Lin Yuan would finish off his good deed with another good deed.
Lin Yuan’s fingertips lit up with a green glow, and all the scars peppering the young girl’s hands disappeared. Even the thorns stuck in her fingernails vanished.
“It just so happens that I’m a healer. Stay with me for now. Once I’m done buying what I need to buy, I’ll help you save that person.”
The young girl looked delighted, and her tears turned into those of joy. All her wariness disappeared at the same moment that her hands were healed.
She did not know what about her was worth being given such treatment by this healer.
To ordinary people in the Divine Wood Federation, healers were just as venerable as Creation Masters because they were the ones who could save lives.
The young girl silently followed Lin Yuan, fearing that she would disturb him while he was observing the goods in the chamber of commerce.
When Lin Yuan got to the fifth shelf, an elderly man dressed in blue walked up to him and said, “Young Master, I am the Vice President of the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce’s Oak City branch. If there’s anything you have in mind, you can let me know. Or if you wish to discuss business, you can do so with me.”
Lin Yuan noticed that the elderly man was not speaking to him like how he would speak to a regular customer. Otherwise, he would have mentioned discussing business.
Lin Yuan’s expression did not change in the slightest as he said, “Does the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce have plant-type feys that can produce weather?”
The elderly man looked Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, and Ji Feng up and down again before he said, “There are many types of plant-type feys that can produce weather. We have stocks for the Clear Sunshine Flower, Hazy Wind Grass, Snow Crystal Orchid, Cloudy Fog Sunflower, and Thunder Clap Chrysanthemum. However, we will be auctioning them off.
“If you’re interested in them, you can join the auction next Thursday. All these five kinds of plant-type feys will be up for auction then. If you want to build a new castle and are looking to decorate your garden, we have other surprises waiting for you besides these plant-type feys.”
Lin Yuan frowned at the elderly man’s for the auction.
If the auction was taking place in the next few days, he would be able to wait till then. However, there were still nine days until next Thursday, and Lin Yuan could not afford to wait.
“Is it possible for the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce to make an exception? I will buy those plant-type feys at their expected auction prices.”
The old man thought, Is this young man really here as a buyer?
Now, the elderly man started treating Lin Yuan as a potential customer.
“As long as you can afford it, you should be able to buy them before the auction. The invites for the auction haven’t been sent out yet, and the item list can be altered at any time.”
The elderly man sighed before continuing. “To be frank, the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce has run into a spot of trouble. The Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce and Profit Source Chamber of Commerce have joined forces to take control of all the resources open to the chambers of commerce in Oak City. We need to attract enough people for this auction in order to stand a chance against the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce and Profit Source Chamber of Commerce’s combined attack. Hence, we will be auctioning off any decent resource available to us.”
The old man’s intention could not be clearer. Using the difficulty that the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce was experiencing as a reason to turn down his offer was the most polite option.
Just as Lin Yuan was about to try and make his case again, a gentle voice sounded out from behind him.
