Suddenly, Chu Yue Li felt a chill run down her spine, as if she were being watched by something, leaving her with a sense of unease.
Under the gaze of Hua Zhi, the Divine Emperor, she saw the twists and turns of her fate, shrouded in fog. Although the overall picture was quite clear, a part of her fate was covered in mist, particularly concerning matters of romance.
"What is the origin of Young Master Qin? Why does the fate of anyone who comes into contact with him become so unclear?"
Hua Zhi, the Divine Emperor, sighed inwardly but did not force herself to pry into the path of destiny.
She understood very well that one could not control a man; doing so would only provoke disdain. Moreover, Qin Chen himself was also a master of the path of destiny, so any little move she made would certainly be seen by him.
Thinking of this, Hua Zhi immediately transmitted a message to Qin Chen: "Young Master Qin, I took a glance at the fate of the other party. Hmm, it doesn't seem like a spy, but there are parts of his fate that are unclear, so we still need to be cautious."
Qin Chen: "..."
He couldn't help but glance at Hua Zhi. Was she just checking if Chu Yue Li had any ill intentions?
But why did they check only Chu Yue Li and not Guai Xin or the others?
Although there were doubts in his heart, Qin Chen still smiled and said, "Miss Hua Zhi is very considerate."
"It is my duty." Hua Zhi remained expressionless.
Qin Chen smiled at Chu Yue Li.
Seeing Chu Yue Li below feeling uneasy, she suddenly remembered the ancestor's instructions. When she saw Qin Chen's warm smile, her heart relaxed, and she smiled back: "The great one has made such a huge stir in the Wasteland of All Gods, gaining a stellar reputation and shaking the cosmic sea; naturally, I can't help but feel a bit nervous."
"Haha." Qin Chen laughed: "I can't believe that the former Pavilion Master of Southern Origin City would also feel nervous."
Chu Yue Li regained her confidence and charmingly replied, "In front of Young Master Qin, let alone a little girl like me, even any girl of divine emperor level would feel nervous, wouldn't they?"
As she spoke, she intentionally glanced at Hua Zhi.
"Damn it, this woman is provoking me." Hua Zhi's expression darkened, and she thought to herself, "I must endure."
She couldn't let Qin Chen think she was petty.
"A girl of divine emperor level? That analogy..." Qin Chen's expression darkened. Was a divine emperor-level powerhouse still considered a girl?
"Miss Yue Li, you're not just here to reminisce with me, are you?" Qin Chen smiled.
"Of course not." Chu Yue Li stepped forward respectfully and said, "Young Master Qin, I am now the vice master of the Eternal Pavilion headquarters. My ancestor wishes to get to know you and is aware of our friendship, so I was specifically sent here for two main purposes."
"First, my ancestor wants to cooperate with you. From now on, as long as you need anything, it can be purchased from the Eternal Pavilion at just a ten percent markup over cost. If you have something to sell, as long as it is sold through our Eternal Pavilion, we will only take ten percent of the profits, and the rest will go to you."
Ten percent?
Qin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.
This Eternal Pavilion was indeed quite generous.
Although they were adding a ten percent markup over cost, one must know that the Eternal Pavilion's business spanned the entire cosmic sea. The most challenging part was circulation, requiring vast resources and years of operation to cultivate.
Under normal circumstances, doubling the price would already be considered fair; which store sells things close to cost? The gross profit usually starts from fifty percent.
As for selling and only taking ten percent of the profit, that was also an exceptionally rare condition.
The cosmic sea was too vast; sometimes items from the Southern Cosmic Sea could be sold elsewhere for several times the price. If the Eternal Pavilion only takes ten percent, they would hardly make anything, equivalent to just earning a little bit for their efforts.
