The two at the city gate were naturally Xingqiu, the second young master of the Feiyun Commerce Guild, and A Xu, a servant of the Feiyun Commerce Guild.
Last night, after Yuto left the inn, he found A Xu, the servant of the Feiyun Commerce Guild, and explained that he had a treasure that needed to be stored at the Feiyun Commerce Guild, but he did not specify what kind of treasure it was, only asking him to wait near the south gate of Liyue Harbor tomorrow morning.
At first, A Xu didn't pay much attention, because Yuto had no reputation in Liyue, his clothes were not luxurious, and he didn't even have a Vision to represent his strength. What good could an Inazuman, with no strength and no background, possibly have?
Coincidentally, A Xu's complaints about Yuto were overheard by the second young master, Xingqiu. Xingqiu was someone who disliked staying at home and, whenever he had a chance, liked to travel far from home and perform acts of chivalry. So, after criticizing A Xu for judging people, he naturally followed A Xu to the south gate to wait.
However, it seemed they had been stood up. Just as the two were about to give up waiting, Yuto appeared before them, accompanied by Shenhe, who was carrying a mountain.
When Shenhe put down the mingxia floating stone, everyone present felt the earth shake, and they couldn't help but exclaim that this woman was truly a divine being.
A Xu saw Yuto, who had looked for him yesterday, and enthusiastically stepped forward to shake his hand. His previous impatience and disdain had completely vanished.
At the same time, he admired his young master's foresight even more. Yesterday, when his young master criticized him, A Xu was actually a little unconvinced, but due to his young master's status, he could only obediently agree. While waiting for Yuto, A Xu actually harbored a bit of resentment in his heart.
But all dissatisfaction vanished the moment he saw the mingxia floating stone. Are you kidding? Such a rare mingxia floating stone was right before his eyes. If he wasn't more polite, he would have lived all these years in vain.
It's a good thing he came today; otherwise, he would have missed a huge opportunity.
"Mr. Uchiha Mikage, right? We've finally waited for you. Thank you for your recognition of the Feiyun Commerce Guild. Oh, by the way, this is our second young master of the Feiyun Commerce Guild, Xingqiu."
Yuto's gaze instantly turned to the Damselette... young master? A man? This is actually a man? Holy crap! Xingqiu, my six-star Hydro Archon, we finally meet.
Yuto quickly calmed his surprise, shook hands with Xingqiu, and said with a smile, "The second young master of the Feiyun Commerce Guild personally coming out to greet me makes me quite apprehensive. Hello, my name is Uchiha Mikage. You can just call me Yuto. This is my friend, Shenhe."
"Not at all, Mr. Yuto, you are too kind. It is our Feiyun Commerce Guild's honor that you entrust us with your treasured mingxia floating stone for handling. To be honest, since Lady Tianquan Ningguang's Jade Chamber was completed, I haven't seen a mingxia floating stone in years, let alone one as massive as the one you possess."
"Pure luck, pure luck."
"Currently, most of the mingxia floating stones with documented records are already owned. I'm very curious where Mr. Yuto acquired such a large yet unactivated mingxia floating stone. Of course, it's just curiosity; we at Feiyun Commerce Guild respect our customers' privacy, so it's fine if you don't say."
"There's nothing to hide about this. I happened to find Narukami Ogosho's abode and discovered this mingxia floating stone within it."
"Is it truly the one Narukami Ogosho collected?" Xingqiu's voice became excited.
"Oh? Young Master Xingqiu, you also know about Narukami Ogosho?"
"You can just call me Xingqiu. The Xianyun Records state that Narukami Ogosho once personally built an abode to store various rare treasures, including a mingxia floating stone. Actually, when I first saw this mingxia floating stone, I had a premonition that it was the one Narukami Ogosho collected. I just didn't expect it to actually be that one, and so massive at that."
"You truly are knowledgeable."
"Not at all, I just enjoy reading leisure books in my spare time. I thought that besides me, no one else knew about Narukami Ogosho. I never expected you to find the abandoned abode of the True Monarch."
"Then, in your opinion, what do you think this mingxia floating stone is worth?"
"If handled properly, our Feiyun Commerce Guild is confident it can fetch over 200 million Mora."
"Only 200 million Mora?" Yuto frowned, clearly not very satisfied with the price.
Xingqiu also noticed Yuto's dissatisfaction and quickly explained, "There's no other way. The use of the mingxia floating stone is too niche, and very few people have a demand for it. This price already includes a slight premium due to its extreme rarity.
Furthermore, if I may be blunt, this price will likely require a long time to find a suitable buyer."
"Why is that?"
Xingqiu reached out and pointed to the sky. Yuto looked up and immediately saw the Jade Chamber suspended high in the sky.
"Currently, in Liyue, Lady Tianquan Ningguang is held in high esteem. The entire Liyue Harbor only has one floating structure, the Jade Chamber. Your Plaustrite is so massive that it's enough to build a small Jade Chamber on top of it.
If a second floating structure appeared in Liyue Harbor, although there are no relevant regulations in Liyue's laws, no one can say whether it would offend Lady Ningguang. If she were to hold a grudge later, it would be enough to cause trouble for him."
Yuto looked at the Jade Chamber high in the sky, a charming smile playing on his lips. He knew very well what the future fate of the Jade Chamber was. Since that was the case, he would just wait and see.
"Alas, since that's the case, then this mingxia floating stone will be temporarily stored at the Feiyun Commerce Guild."
"That's no problem. Our Feiyun Commerce Guild will specially arrange a warehouse for proper safekeeping. However, you will need to pay the storage fee for the warehouse first."
"Ah? I currently don't have enough money. I was hoping to alleviate my urgent needs after selling the mingxia floating stone."
"In that case, our Feiyun Commerce Guild can temporarily waive the storage fee. We only require you to grant us the selling rights for the mingxia floating stone. We will find a buyer for you, and after the transaction is completed, we will deduct the handling fee and storage fee from the final price.
Of course, if you change your mind later and wish to retrieve the mingxia floating stone, you only need to pay the storage fee. What do you think?"
"Excellent, excellent."
"Alright then, let's sign the contract."
And so, Yuto and Xingqiu signed a relatively lenient storage contract. In the nation of Liyue, nothing is more binding than a contract. Lord Rex Lapis, as the God of Contracts, has only one law that supersedes all others: [Once a contract is made, those who break their word shall suffer the Wrath of the Rock.]
