2657 Let’s Talk Business
Besides, the highest-leveled blue storage talisman was only at yellow rank.
It was also crafted by a grand elder a hundred years ago. Even though the method to draw a blue talisman did get passed down, no descendant had been able to craft a blue storage talisman afterwards.
The old sir looked at Qiaoqiao with surprise and delight. “Qiaoqiao, are these black-rank blue storage talismans?”
...
Qiao Mu looked at the old sir. She thought it over and then took out two blue storage talismans from her pocket. She threw them to the old sir. “Courtesy demands reciprocity.”
Old Master Cang twitched his mouth. He had the urge to laugh, but he felt gratified.
Who said that this young granddaughter didn’t know the ways of the world and only knew to maintain a stoic face?
Wasn’t she very well-mannered right now?
“Qiaoqiao, these blue storage talismans are?…” Drawn by you?
The old sir felt embarrassed to ask out loud. He could only probe with his gaze.
“Mhm.” Qiao Mu nodded her petite head. “I drew them.”
I drew them, I drew them, I drew… dr-drew…
These words kept echoing through the old sir’s mind. It reverberated back and forth, basically piercing through his skull like a haunting voice.
His calm and collected face slowly, gradually, showed expressions of peculiarity, surprise, and at last shock!
Was there some problem with his hearing?
Could his imagination be playing tricks on him?
Back when he heard that his eldest granddaughter Mu Rouxuan had drawn a high-rank yellow storage talisman in Weixi Corridor, he had already been stammering from delight.
Rouxuan was yet another Mu Clan junior in the past few years who could draw a storage talisman.
The old sir had been extremely gratified when he thought about how Rouxuan’s talisman practitioner path might be more successful than Xingchen’s in the future, yet now…
Compared to the little lady in front of him, Rouxuan’s achievements were simply not worth mentioning.
This little lady was actually telling him that she had drawn all these black-rank blue storage talismans in front of him?
Old Master Duan was exceptionally shocked. This information had stunned him out of his wits.
These were black-rank blue storage talismans!
Even the old ancestor of the Divine Province’s talisman patrician family had never drawn such a talisman!
The little lady looked at the old sir queerly. She saw that he was so shocked by this news that he was just opening and closing his mouth, not knowing how to speak.
Qiao Mu couldn’t resist stuffing the two storage talismans into the old sir’s hands. She deadpanned, “Take them.”
Old Master Cang subconsciously gripped the blue storage talismans in his hands.
The little fellow gestured for the old sir to sit down at the stone table nearby. She also sat down with him and said seriously, “Patriarch Mu, let’s talk business now.”
Old Master Cang was startled. His mood turned grave when he heard how she addressed him. He was feeling melancholic.
It looked like the little fellow still could not recognize him as her grandpa, but it made sense thinking about it. They hadn’t known each other for the first ten plus years of her life. Who would be able to accept it at once?
It was fine, there was still a lot of time. The old sir was thinking that he had to first interact with the little fellow slowly so that she would put down her guard. If he treated her well, she would definitely be willing to call him ‘Grandpa’ one day.
“Child, tell me. This old man will definitely help you if it is something I can decide,” Old Master Cang promised with a nod.
The little lady took out that dowry list from the rosewood box. She placed it in front of the old sir.
“This is my mom’s dowry. She said that she was leaving it all to me. Patriarch, go tell Mu Jingfeng’s end to prepare the account books so that I can review the profits from years past.”
