A thought occurred to Gu An. "Those two shops—one sells magical artifacts, the other sells talismans. Won't they affect our business?"
Gu Dezhao smiled. "There will certainly be some impact, but not much. The merchandise in those two shops is high-quality, but the prices are also steep—beyond the means of the average cultivator."
"When they can't find what they want there, it's the perfect opportunity for them to come to our shop. Won't we be able to sell more that way?"
Just as they were speaking, they suddenly saw a steward leading several other cultivators into the shop.
Gu An's expression changed. "They must be here to pick out a shop too."
Zhao Lin noticed as well and said, "There's no time to lose. Let's go to the administration office right now."
The group hurried away, making their way to the administration office on the side of the market district.
When Steward Liu saw Zhao Lin and his group, he asked with a smile, "Have you all made your choice?"
