Chapter 2613: Chapter 2613: Buy Them All?

But the effectiveness remains unknown. In such severe drought, lives are fought for, a mere warning from their people might not work, or might be ineffective.

“But it should be soon, Brother Qi. Those people aren’t the main issue; the key is Master Ji. If our attitude isn’t agreeable, the matter of food will truly be troublesome.”

Upon hearing this, Lord Qi took another deep breath, secretly gritting his teeth.

How could he not understand this principle? The food is in Master Ji’s hands; now they are the ones pleading with Master Ji, not the other way around.

“I understand, I’ll be careful later.” He said.

Once the food is acquired, they’ll settle scores with Master Ji; at that time, no one will be able to restrain him.

…

An hour later, the two were finally invited into the residence.

In the reception hall, Master Ji had been waiting for a while. Good tea was already brewed, and there were many fruits and snacks laid out as well.

Seeing the fruits and snacks on the table, Lord Qi tightly gripped the hand hidden in his sleeve, thinking to himself: He really underestimated Master Ji.

Even they could scarcely find fruits in the Northern Lands, yet Master Ji had them for hospitality.

“Master Ji, we meet again.”

He suppressed the urge to claim those fruits for himself, clasping his fists toward Master Ji, politely said.

“You two have come once more, please sit.”

Master Ji, holding a teacup, smiled at them and said.

“I wonder, what brings you two here today? I am indeed very busy; lately, the affairs of the prefectural office have been quite numerous.”

Lord Qi and Qi Heng exchanged a glance.

Perhaps it’s not the prefectural office’s matters that are numerous, but that the people wanting to buy food are too many for Master Ji to handle?

“Master Ji, let’s not waste words. I’ve come today to buy all the food you have.” He found a seat and sat down, speaking directly.

“Buy it all?”

Master Ji feigned ignorance for a moment, soon showing a troubled expression, glancing over Lord Qi and Qi Heng.

He placed the teacup on the table, lowered his head in thought for a moment, then looked up at the two, smiling slightly apologetically.

“Brother Qi, it’s not that I don’t agree, it’s just that these good things shouldn’t be monopolized by one person, right? In Guangye City, there’s not only your family able to afford food, others I can’t slight either.”

Upon hearing this, Lord Qi bit his teeth.

He knew Master Ji was difficult to deal with; wanting to buy so much food truly isn’t easy, is it?

“Master Ji, do you mean that if I stop those people from buying your food, you’ll sell it exclusively to me?” He looked seriously at Master Ji and asked.

If that’s the case, he didn’t mind dealing with all those merchants.

Besides, their hands were already stained with enough blood, wouldn’t hurt a few more; he just didn’t believe that with no people left, Master Ji could still sell food to the dead!

“Well…”

Master Ji paused, his expression unchanged, but inwardly cursing the two.

Do they plan to stir up trouble in Guangye City? Have they forgotten that besides being a food seller, he’s also a government office master?

“Lord Qi, I’m a master at the government office.” He warned.

Upon hearing this, Lord Qi was indeed stunned.

He indeed forgot about the identity of the man in front of him, the master beside Prefect Sheng Qingyu.
