CHAPTER 4:Perfume Moves People’s Hearts

  After Zhao Sanchong left, profusely thanking him, Zhao Xiaobao said with a worried expression, "Young Master, would you like to reconsider? Although the Wang Family is a local cultivation family in Ganzhou, they are extremely ruthless. Fifty years ago, the Chen Family of cultivators was exterminated by the Wang Family. Not only did the entire family, young and old, not escape, but they almost implicated our Zhao Family."

  Zhao Sheng waved his hand and said calmly, "No need to consider it. Ganzhou is a pce with thin spiritual energy, and there are very few cultivators. The Wang Family is the only cultivation family in Ganzhou. If I don't seek them out, who else can I turn to?"

  Zhao Xiaobao hesitated after hearing this, but ultimately did not try to persuade him further.

  He knew that once the young master made up his mind, no one could change his mind.

  "Can the young master really marry a woman from the Wang Family? When that time comes, he must not force things!"

  Thinking of his young master's style of doing things, Zhao Xiaobao was even more worried.

  Zhao Sheng did not know that his loyal servant had no faith in him; he had his own pns.

  After three years of closed-door training, he had already raised the Azure Sea Tide Rising Art to the Great Accomplishment Realm. His inner true energy had thirty years of cultivation, and his cultivation was no less than any first-rate expert in the martial world.

  If he added a few martial arts to restore his peak state, he was confident that, apart from an Innate Grandmaster, he could deal with any martial artist below the Innate Realm.

  This point had been verified by Zhao Taizhen, the Zhao Family Town's cn elder, who was at the Half-Step Innate Realm.

  Zhao Sheng always pnned before acting. This time, he came to Moling City prepared.

  The first step of the pn was to start with a rouge and powder shop.

  Three days ter, Zhenxiang Pavilion, a time-honored rouge and powder shop in Moling City, quietly changed owners.

  Ten days ter, Zhenxiang Pavilion unched a new type of product called perfume.

  Unlike traditional rouge and powder, perfume did not require applying powder bit by bit; one only needed to spray it on the body.

  Moreover, it was not only long-sting but also had various natural floral fragrances.

  The advent of perfume quickly caused a sensation. All the female customers who had tried it were intoxicated by it and became loyal fans of perfume.

  However, very few female customers could afford perfume.

  Because it was too expensive.

  Even small bottle cost twenty taels of silver.

  The inventor of perfume was naturally Zhao Sheng. This was a great weapon he had specially prepared.

  No woman does not love beauty, and very few women can resist the charm of perfume.

  If there was any difference between the women of cultivation families and ordinary women, three words were enough to describe it: "They aren't short of money."

  Therefore, Zhao Sheng deliberately set the price of perfume extremely high. His intention was naturally to "screen" out the target.

  The Wang Family could not be completely isoted from the world. The women of their family would occasionally go out shopping, and Moling City, which was closest to Fragrant Swallow Valley, was undoubtedly the best pce.

  Time passed quickly. A month ter.

  In a small, elegantly ndscaped courtyard, Zhao Sanchong, the new shopkeeper of Zhenxiang Pavilion, was reporting the recent situation to Zhao Sheng.

  "Young Master, Target Number One and Target Number Two have come to buy perfume for the third time recently. They both cimed to be surnamed Wang, so this subordinate believes that these two are very likely to be from the Wang Family."

  "Oh, they bought all the perfume again this time?" Zhao Sheng asked with interest.

  "Yes, these two women simply don't treat silver like money, they spend it like water. Every time they come, they won't leave until they've swept away all the perfume." Zhao Sanchong answered excitedly.

  He felt that his young master was really too amazing, using a simple trick to lure out the Wang Family's women.

  After listening, Zhao Sheng felt that the time was ripe, so he decided to start the second step of his pn.

  So he instructed, "When they come next time, you release the news about the new type of perfume. And then do this and that..."

  Zhao Sanchong listened and nodded repeatedly, then excitedly accepted the order and left.

  Three days ter, a luxurious carriage pulled by four tall horses slowly stopped in front of Zhenxiang Pavilion.

  The stern-faced, tall middle-aged coachman reached out and lifted the curtain.

  Two young girls in their prime stepped out of the carriage. One was wearing a red dress, with an oval face and delicate features. The other was wearing a sky-blue Ru skirt, with a fiery figure and a cold and beautiful face.

  As soon as they arrived, the female attendants of Zhenxiang Pavilion were immediately energized, because wealthy customers had arrived. One quick-witted attendant immediately ran to the back to report the news to the shopkeeper.

  Zhao Sanchong guessed right, these two women were both from the Wang Family of Fragrant Swallow Valley. The one in red was named Wang Yuyan, and the one in the blue Ru skirt was named Wang Yuqi. They were half-sisters.

  Wang Yuyan was in charge of the two. As soon as she entered, Wang Yuyan specified that she wanted to buy perfume.

  The female attendants had already been instructed, so they deliberately deyed for a few words.

  Taking advantage of this moment, Zhao Sanchong had already rushed to the hall.

  As soon as he saw the two, he immediately cupped his fist and saluted, saying, "Two distinguished guests, I am the shopkeeper of Zhenxiang Pavilion. I'm really sorry! The perfume in our shop has just sold out and is temporarily out of stock."

  Wang Yuqi had a quick temper. When she heard this, she immediately raised her eyebrows and scolded, "Shopkeeper, we don't ck silver, so don't fool me. Has the perfume really sold out?"

  Zhao Sanchong swore, "It's absolutely true! Zhao dares to swear to the heavens that the perfume is really gone. But..."

  "But what?" Wang Yuqi immediately interjected.

  Zhao Sanchong deliberately hesitated for a while, until the two were about to urge him, before hesitantly saying, "Our shop actually has a unique perfume in the world. It's just that it's not for sale."

  "Not for sale?"

  Wang Yuyan smiled coldly and said, "There is no such thing as a non-sale item in the world, only the question of whether there is enough silver. It just so happens that the two of us have the most silver. Shopkeeper, name your price!"

  After listening, Zhao Sanchong's entire face instantly turned into a bitter gourd, and he repeatedly bent over, cupped his fists, and begged for mercy, "This Miss, you have wronged this old man. My young master has repeatedly and solemnly reminded me that that kind of perfume is only given to those who are destined, and cannot be sold."

  A woman's curiosity is sometimes greater than a cat's.

  As soon as Zhao Sanchong said this, Wang Yuqi's curiosity came up, and she immediately asked, "Who is your young master? Why would he say that?"

  Zhho Sanchong said with a proud face, "My young master is from the Nanyang Zhao Family. He is not only extremely intelligent but also proficient in both literary and martial arts, and can be called a genius."

  Wang Yuyan didn't care about Zhao Sanchong's words. What if the young master in his mouth was a genius? He was just a mere mortal, how could he compare to a cultivator.

  Wang Yuyan asked, "Your young master said that the perfume is only given to those who are destined. Do you think the two of us look like people who are destined?"

  Zhao Sanchong was overjoyed when he heard this, but he hurriedly suppressed his excitement and pretended to be embarrassed, saying, "Distinguished guests, you are making things difficult for this old man. How would I know who the destined person in my young master's mouth is?"

  "Hmph, putting on an act! Where is your young master? Take us to see him immediately." Wang Yuqi had little experience in the world, and in her eagerness, she took the bait.
