Zhang Qingshan didn't think much of it. No matter how rich his imagination, he wouldn't connect the figure in front of him with Chu Xiu.

He simply said in a deep voice, "Brother, give us an explanation."

Facing the crowd's questioning, Chu Xiu's expression remained unchanged. He merely said indifferently, "What's there to explain? If you suspect I'm from Extreme Dao, then produce the evidence!"

"I think you just don't want to spend money on equipment and are resorting to tricks, right?"

As he spoke, Chu Xiu decisively put away all the equipment and snorted coldly, "If you can't appreciate good things, then go pay more for that garbage."

Seeing Chu Xiu put away the items, the Awakened people immediately panicked, and someone quickly changed their tone: "Everyone, if he's from Extreme Dao, how could he come here so brazenly to set up a stall?"

"That's right. Even Shen Tuhu's recklessness in advancing to the central district is known. This person might have just accidentally stumbled upon his corpse."

However, despite some Awakened changing sides, Zhang Qingshan remained unmoved and calmly said, "Brother, I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, I just need a reasonable explanation. Until your suspicion is cleared, I'm afraid you can't leave easily."

Chu Xiu didn't intend to leave anyway; he still had a lot of equipment to sell. It was just a strategic retreat earlier, and now he softened his tone: "I'm not from Extreme Dao, but I was attacked by one. It was a madman controlling many Human Puppets."

"He just wasn't strong enough and got killed by me."

"All these items were dropped from him."

Chu Xiu's words made Zhang Qingshan pause at first, but his expression soon improved.

He had some knowledge about the killer's information and indeed noticed that the person had recently gone silent.

But this alone couldn't prove anything, and Chu Xiu's suspicion wasn't completely cleared.

Just then, a figure approached and said loudly, "Everyone, I can vouch that Chen is not from Extreme Dao."

Zhang Qingshan turned around, surprised to find it was Chu Qin!

Chu Qin's voice drew everyone's attention, and she continued, "I was previously attacked by Extreme Dao and only managed to escape thanks to Chen's help. If he were from Extreme Dao, he could have easily taken my life then."

Her words shocked Zhang Qingshan, "Xiao Qin, there was such a thing?"

Chu Qin nodded, "I didn't want you to worry, so I didn't mention it."

"You…." Zhang Qingshan shook his head, feeling both distressed and helpless.

He then turned to Chu Xiu with gratitude and said, "Brother, you saved my girlfriend's life. If you ever need anything in the future, I won't hesitate to help. I apologize for the earlier rudeness."

Chu Xiu nodded slightly and then put the items back out.

With the suspicion cleared, more people eagerly came to buy, and perhaps feeling guilty about his earlier behavior, Zhang Qingshan helped maintain order to prevent anyone from getting greedy and causing trouble.

As for Lin Wanyue, she unhappily criticized, "Chen Ce, with so much equipment, why didn't you inform us as a member of our team? Someone in the team might need it. Or do you think I would take it for free from you?"

Chu Xiu didn't reply and simply asked, "What does Miss Lin need?"

Lin Wanyue snorted, "Our team happens to lack strong Remote Attack methods. How much for that [Perfect] Longbow?"

"Three thousand Cause and Effect Points."

Lin Wanyue's face darkened, "Three thousand?! You really know how to ask for a high price, don't you?"

Chu Xiu calmly replied, "A Treasure can sell for six hundred. Three thousand for a Perfect isn't expensive. I even lowered the price considering the current scarcity of Cause and Effect Points."

"If Miss can't afford it, you can wait. If it doesn't sell, I'll lower the price myself."

His words sounded like he was mocking Lin Wanyue for being poor and picky, but Chu Xiu's calm tone made it hard to tell, leaving no room for retaliation.

This made Lin Wanyue's face alternate between red and white, and she finally turned and left.

Three thousand Cause and Effect Points, she could afford, but personally, she didn't lack equipment, and spending so much on her subordinates was something she couldn't bring herself to do.

Chu Xiu didn't mind and continued selling. Unfortunately, the crowd's funds were limited, and after initially selling quickly, people ran out of Cause and Effect Points, leaving some niche equipment unsold.

Overall, about half of the items were sold.

Chu Xiu didn't care, thinking he could convert them into blood to feed the Tongue anyway.

However, he felt a bit disappointed that few forces present could afford three thousand Cause and Effect Points, leaving the two [Perfect] pieces unsold.

Just as the transaction was ending, Ye Junlin came over.

With his usual careless smile, he greeted from afar, "Yo, we meet again."

Chu Xiu stopped in his tracks and looked at him.

"Three thousand Cause and Effect Points is indeed too expensive, but I noticed they haven't sold yet. I thought I might have a chance to haggle a bit, so I came to ask." Ye Junlin scratched his head as he spoke, "Am I being too direct? To be honest, this is my first time haggling."

Chu Xiu: "..."

Such words could only be spoken by a rich young master.

But Chu Xiu liked this straightforward style quite a bit.

"Two thousand five." He said.

"Still too expensive," Ye Junlin shook his head, "If it were in Huaxia Coin, I'd give you fifty million without blinking. A Perfect piece is worth it, but Cause and Effect Points are hard to come by, especially right now."

Chu Xiu thought for a moment, "Two pieces, bundled for four thousand."
