The Traveling Merchant looked at Su Qi's retreating figure, still standing in the same spot.
He had dealt with various great beings before, experienced epic sagas, and witnessed the rise, prosperity, and decline of the myths of Old Days.
Now,
he was being led by the nose by a mere mortal.
And not for the first time...
"Mortal..."
The Traveling Merchant found himself faltering somewhat, as he actually knew after verifying the contents of that Finger Bone that such items were indeed helpful to him. Naturally, when he sensed there was another item of similar nature, he was determined to acquire it.
He could have let Su Qi demand an exorbitant price, as those things did not hold much value for him. It was just that he had suffered a small loss last time and did not want to let this fellow take the initiative again.
But now... he seemed to be moving towards a familiar direction.
