Chapter 352: Hooked (Part 2)

Regardless, that half of the Peerless Treasure Map belonged to the Shi family. If the Gan family could just watch as they went in, how could the Shi family swallow that? Most likely, they could only let the Pavilion Master of Linglong Pavilion decide.

They had to be sure that Wang Sheng could open the Four Symbols Exquisite Seal Box before they could talk about subsequent conditions with him, right? The representative of the Shi family also saw that Wang Sheng was just pretending, waiting for them to come to his door to be fleeced.

Not long after the Shi family left, Wang Sheng waited for another group of people. To be precise, the second big fish, the Gan family.

Unlike the Shi family, the Gan family actually held the other half of the Peerless Treasure Map. Even if Wang Sheng wanted to go, he would have to rely on the guidance of the other half of the map. Therefore, the Gan family had more confidence than the Shi family.

However, no matter how confident they were, when they came to Wang Sheng, Wang Sheng played dumb, saying he didn't know and couldn't open it, so no one could do anything to him. Taking action in Worry-Free City's inner city was going against the City Lord. If they didn't want to die, they could go to the Linglong Pavilion Master to verify.

In the end, it was just a small matter where everyone knew the answer, but the person involved wouldn't admit it. In the past, whether it was the Shi family or the Gan family, they would definitely send people to make things difficult for Wang Sheng. First, capture him, then use severe torture, or use things like Truth Pills together. Would Wang Sheng still not talk?

But that was in the past, it's not possible now. Many families are watching Wang Sheng, waiting for him to lead the way. They don't want to end up like the Dai family, who were clearly at the edge of the Thousand Despair Land's core, just one step away, but were rejected. Wang Sheng really has this ability.

Hundreds of millions of man-eating ants, that's not a joke. Even a peak Legend expert would have to kneel. So, Wang Sheng didn't admit it, and they could only probe indirectly, not daring to use force.

Of course, both families had a guilty conscience, knowing that Wang Sheng knew about their last secret undermining, and the Linglong Pavilion Master also knew. They were uniting to get back at him.

For the Peerless Treasure, they had to endure! The future was long, they couldn't always be asking Wang Sheng for help. They would lower their heads now, like the Dai family, and wait until one day to get back at him. As the saying goes among large families, a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late.

The two major principalities had people arranged in various places. As soon as the messenger bird delivered the message, they knew what to do. On the third day, the Shi and Gan families came to the door together.

Of course, before that, the Linglong Pavilion Master had already sent a letter to Wang Sheng via messenger bird, expressing his gratitude. He also informed Wang Sheng that he would pay for the manufacturing process of the vernier caliper and micrometer screw gauge, and ten million gold coins had been sent to the Changsheng Marquis Mansion. In addition, he would keep Wang Sheng's heavy sniper crossbow manufacturing process a secret.

Wang Sheng didn't know how the Linglong Pavilion Master fleeced the two families, but the Linglong Pavilion Master promised Wang Sheng that in the future, if Wang Sheng needed it, he could buy various materials from the Linglong Pavilion's collection at a fair price. Any Grandmaster or Great Grandmaster of the Linglong Pavilion, as long as Wang Sheng needed it and paid normal remuneration, could help Wang Sheng.

Seeing what the Linglong Pavilion Master had promised, Wang Sheng knew that the Linglong Pavilion Master must have made the Shi and Gan families bleed. Very good, exchanging a small favor for this kind of cooperation was not bad.

"Marquis, the Linglong Pavilion has confirmed that you can open the Four Symbols Exquisite Seal Box." In front of Wang Sheng, the Shi family's representative smiled apologetically and said to Wang Sheng, "Please don't hide it from us anymore."

"So what?" Wang Sheng asked with a smile, "I neither snatched the Four Symbols Exquisite Seal Box from your Shi family, nor did I open the Four Symbols Exquisite Seal Box in your Shi family's hands, right?"

These few words really made it impossible for the Shi family to find fault. Taking advantage of the Shi family representative's discomfort, Wang Sheng turned to the Gan family's side: "You came together, it should be about the same thing, right?"

The Gan family representative nodded in agreement: "It's about the Peerless Treasure Map."

Seeing that Wang Sheng seemed to not understand, the Gan family representative didn't hide it, pointed at the Shi family and explained for both families: "Our two families had some small misunderstandings before, but now the misunderstandings have been cleared up, and we want to solve this matter together."

Small misunderstandings? Wang Sheng sneered inwardly. Wang Sheng was there at the time. The Gan family used assassins who had been lurking for several years before succeeding in one strike. If it weren't for himself interfering, where would the Shi family be now? Wasn't it that some weakness was seized by the Shi family, and they had to bring the Shi family along? Among large families, among principalities, there is such a thing as small misunderstandings?

"We originally thought that half of the map was completely destroyed, and there was no hope for the Peerless Treasure." The Gan family's representative smiled and persuaded Wang Sheng: "But Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life, and actually allowed the Marquis to see it and remember it. So, we were thinking, can we cooperate with you, Marquis?"

"How do you want to cooperate?" Wang Sheng asked calmly.

"You have half of the map, Marquis, and we also have half of the map. Let's go in together to explore the Peerless Treasure. The things inside will be divided equally, half for the Marquis, and half for us, how about that?" The Gan family's representative didn't beat around the bush and directly said the decision they had discussed with the Shi family before.

After listening to this suggestion, Wang Sheng didn't make a decision immediately, but closed his eyes and began to ponder.

Dividing the Peerless Treasure equally between himself and the two major principalities? It sounded like a good condition, but it was also the fastest way to die.

"Forget it!" Wang Sheng began to shake his head. The hearts of the two representatives of the Gan and Shi families sank. If Wang Sheng didn't agree, it would be a big trouble.

"To be honest, I'm not interested in any treasures." Wang Sheng directly stated his meaning: "So, you don't need to mention half and half. However, I have a new suggestion, you can consider it."

"Please tell us, Marquis!" Hearing that there was still a chance, the two representatives became excited again and hurriedly asked in unison.

"I can draw the half of the map that I saw and sell it to you." Wang Sheng said his long-desired plan: "It doesn't matter which of your two families buys it, you can discuss how to divide it yourselves, it has nothing to do with me. I just want the price of this half of the map. If it works, you can go to the Marquis Mansion in the capital to discuss the specific price with my wife. If it doesn't work, business is business, friendship remains, we'll each be busy with our own things, how about that?"

Hearing Wang Sheng's suggestion, the two representatives of the Gan and Shi families couldn't believe their ears. There was such a good thing? He didn't want the Peerless Treasure, he just wanted to sell the map? Of course they agreed, how could they not agree?

After reacting, the two immediately realized that Wang Sheng was indeed not the kind of person who was easy to deal with. He was not greedy. He knew how much he should take, and this kind of person was the best choice for cooperation.
