Chapter 37 Old Master Fu is fishing; those who are willing will take the bait.
Through Nian Nian's persistent bargaining, she successfully persuaded Xiao Jian to agree to a one-yuan discount on each set of armor. Although it seemed insignificant, it represented a considerable saving for a large-scale purchase.
However, the suit of armor that Old Master Fu had his eye on was only available in one set, and due to the complex manufacturing process, it was impossible to make the same style again in a short period of time.
Left with no other option, they had to order other batches of armor.
Niannian always kept Pei Yunjing in her heart. She made a promise with Grandpa Fu that this unique set of armor would be left to Pei Yunjing.
At the same time, Grandpa Fu and Xiao Jian successfully signed a contract, confirming an order for a large number of weapons and equipment, including 50,000 sets of armor, 30,000 broadswords, 10,000 top-grade hunting composite bows, 40,000 spears, and countless bows and arrows.
To ensure the confidentiality of the transaction, Old Master Fu required Xiao Jian to sign a confidentiality agreement.
Due to the overwhelming number of orders, Xiao Jian's existing warehouse inventory could only deliver half of the goods. Both parties agreed to deliver the remaining goods in seven days.
"Okay, here's the deposit..." Old Master Fu said as he signed a check and handed it to Xiao Jian.
Xiao Jian took it and looked at the number on it, which made his eyes widen – one hundred million!
It's just a deposit...
Xiao Jian was so excited that his hands trembled slightly. He reached out and tightly grasped Old Master Fu's hands: "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you!"
He had already planned to sell the weapons shop because it was just not making any money.
But to everyone's surprise, this one order saved his life and even enabled him to pay off his mortgage and car loan.
Xiao Jian carefully put the huge check into the inside pocket of his clothes, and then mysteriously took out a very antique-looking sword from his office.
Then, he solemnly said to Old Master Fu, "Boss Fu... I'd like to give you another sword. This sword is called Jingyun Liuguang Sword. I acquired it from an old man, and it's said to be made of meteorite iron!"
!!!
wow!
Jingyun Flowing Light Sword?
Upon hearing the name, Niannian looked at her grandfather with anticipation, thinking to herself: Please don't refuse, Grandpa, this name is such a perfect match for Yun Jing!
Her little hands were tightly gripping the hem of Old Master Fu's clothes...
Grandpa Fu seemed to sense Niannian's little mood, so he took the Jingyun Liuguang sword without hesitation.
The silver-white sword has a pure silver hilt carved with clouds and dragons. The blade has a soft luster, while the sharp edge flashes with a cold light. The patterns are like flowing water, and the overall design is harmonious and beautiful.
It is indeed a fine sword...
He said in a deep voice, "Then I won't stand on ceremony, Mr. Xiao. I'll pay the balance after you deliver the goods to my door in seven days!" After saying that, he carefully put the Jingyun Sword into Nian Nian's arms.
Grandpa Fu led Niannian slowly out of the sword shop's warehouse, and then, as soon as they got into the car, he told the driver that they were going to a new location.
Niannian asked with a bewildered look, "Grandpa, aren't we going home?"
Grandpa Fu smiled and replied, "We're not going back. We need to prepare some medicine for Pei Yunjing."
When soldiers go to war, injuries are inevitable. The Central Plains region was already suffering from a severe drought, and all kinds of supplies were extremely scarce, especially medicines.
"Oh! So are we going to the pharmacy to buy medicine?" Niannian nodded as if she understood, while her little hand gripped the Jingyun Flowing Light Sword tightly.
Grandpa Fu said in a serious tone, "Not to the pharmacy..." He was joking, how could he possibly spend his own money to buy medicine?
He's going to try and get something for nothing in a little while!

Fu family...
"Wanwan~ I can't take it anymore, I have to run away, go abroad and hide for a while... I'm hanging up now, I'll clear our contact history in the cloud!" Wood said hurriedly and then hung up the phone.
"Beep beep..."
A busy signal rang in Wen Wan's ears, making her feel a surge of irritation. She stared blankly at the disconnected phone, her mind a jumble of confusion.
How could Fu Mingyue still be alive?
It must be a joke, or just a coincidence... She tried to convince herself, but deep down she couldn't calm down.
However, Wood hadn't had a chance to explain what abilities the Phoenix Bronze Mirror possessed, or even what forces were involved behind it.
This made Wenwan even more interested in bronze mirrors.
Just then, she suddenly remembered that the old man had taken Niannian out early that morning.
This coincidence gave her an idea: perhaps she could use this opportunity to explore the secrets of the Phoenix Bronze Mirror. So, she decided to first cut off the power to the home security cameras to avoid leaving any trace.
Then, she cautiously went to Niannian's room.
Upon opening the door, she immediately saw the distinctive phoenix bronze mirror standing there quietly. It exuded a unique aura, as if telling an ancient story.
Wen Wan slowly approached the mirror and gently touched the golden nanmu wood countertop.
The delicate touch and warm texture made her realize the preciousness and extraordinary nature of this mirror. She couldn't help but fall into deep thought, a complex emotion welling up inside her.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Fu Mingyue, if you were really still alive, then today I'm going to destroy what you cherish most. Would you be sad?"
Wen Wan murmured to herself, a sly glint in her eyes. She then carefully examined the area but found nothing else amiss.
However, when she looked at the phoenix bronze mirror, she found that her reflection was somewhat blurry.
Out of curiosity, Wenwan reached out to touch the mirror, and at that moment, a woman who looked remarkably like her suddenly flashed across the mirror.
The woman was dressed in a plain brocade dress, with a white silk cloth hanging from the roof beam; she had hanged herself.
Her face was frighteningly pale, as if she had no life at all, and her eyes seemed to be squeezed out of their sockets as she stared intently in the direction where Wen Wan was.
"what!"
Wen Wan was startled and quickly closed her eyes. When she opened them again, the woman in the bronze mirror had disappeared, replaced by her own reflection.
Am I seeing things?
Or was it hallucination caused by excessive mental stress?
Wen Wan patted her forehead hard, trying to clear her head. She took a deep breath and told herself not to panic, that it was probably just a temporary illusion.
Let's just smash this weird thing!
Thinking this, she lifted the stool next to her high and smashed it hard against the bronze mirror, just before it touched the mirror.
The mirror suddenly reflected the woman from before, staring intently at Wen Wan.

A ghost?
