"Idiot , who told you to involve the formation master in this , huh , Now what are you gonna do if they come to us for compensation . While the Wu clan may not be able to find us the formation master can ." Lu Xiao Tian berated the guy who was kneeling on the floor with his hands straight above his head .
"I'm sorry , but , but there's no way they will come to us right , after all wouldn't that basically be saying they got manipulated by us and admitting defeat ?" Hwang Jin retorted to a hand flying to his face and covering his mouth as he was about to continue speaking .
" You idiot , keep your mouth shut , how many times do I have to tell you , don't speak about people you can't silence , do you wanna die , want me to make you a grave right now so you can go lie in it ." Lu Xiao Tian whisper shouted to while covering the other's mouth to prevent him from speaking .
"I'm sowwy " Hwang Jin's voice came out muffled due to the hand covering his face .
Xiao Tian turned and sat down on the bed leaving Hwang Jin to get his bearings straight .
"Listen ah Jin , you must not speak about people way stronger than you , you can't guarantee what ways they have to listen in , and since currently we used their name in a scheme he would be focusing on us , and might use it to kill us . Got it ?"
"Yes , I'll make sure to be careful ." Hwang Jin replied pulling the chair over to sit on it .
"Good , now tell me about the situation , of the clan leaders as well as the regular citizens ."
" Yes , most of the nobles have already realized that they weren't actually hurt other than small losses , and are currently moving to clean it up and assure the workers who lost their work for a few days . While the Wu patriarch is currently cursing his son and trying to hide all his destroyed hidden properties so that other's don't notice it . He probably will not be able to ask for compensation for them from the city lord in the coming meeting . The regular citizens have been agitated against the Wu clan and are planning to not work their anymore , even if they do manage to stand back up , though it is unlikely they will be able to ."
"But Big brother , we have a problem ."
" Hm , what ?"tilting his head Lu Xiao Tian asked "I thought they were no problems up until now ."
"Well yes , the people are moving as expected , but we planned to stock up tomorrow and leave the day after for the monster forest , but now everything is pricier , because most of the stock got blown up -"
" Ah you're worried they will raise their prices right , don't worry about that . After all by tomorrow they will be more worried about having stock not sell at all . "
"What , but shouldn't scarcity raise prices ."Hwang Jin's voice rose an octave but stopped when he saw the look on Lu Xiao Tian's face . That , that was the face he made when when everything was going according to plan .
"Ah Jin , Ah Jin just wait and see , by tomorrow if the price has risen or if the markets are empty . "saying this he went to sit in the corner and started cultivating .
Seeing this Hwang Jin got up and cleaned the room and then also took a corner to cultivate in .
5 July , 1:00 p.m.
Central market
"Hey , big brother isn't the market too deserted , yesterday every corner of it was filled , but now only guild members can be seen . Isn't that strange ?" Hwang Jin whispered in Lu Xiao Tian's ear as they walked through the market .
"Idiot ""Hey!" "What do you think is the major factor most of Mu city has in common, hm ?"
"They worship cultivators and have belief in god , well most of them , but , what do you think will superstitious people do when they believe a cultivator that is considered one of the strongest,tried to destroy current stock ? "
"Hm , oh! , they would definitely try to destroy it or atleast boycott it ."
"Correct "affirming Hwang Jin's thoughts he continued speaking " so the sellers would be rushing quite a bit by now . Since new stock will arrive tomorrow, they would try to get rid of today's stock instead of having to burn it tomorrow to assure the people ."
"So if we buy today they would basically sell it to us at minimum price . "
"Correct , it seems like even you can tell that much . You see those guild members , they also realise this and are trying to stock up today as well , which is why you see so many of them ."
While speaking they reach a weapon store
"Of course, here it might be a little different."
"Huh, why-"
