After thinking for a moment, Su handed the box to Yang Xiaoyun and then took the Guest Token with both hands.
Pretending not to know, he asked, "What is this?"
"Chief Su may not be aware,"
Wang Chengying smiled:
"The Guest Token is jointly made by the Hundred Merchants Association.
"There are three types...
"The first type is the Guest Token, which can be used to get significant discounts wherever our Hundred Merchants Association has a presence.
"The second type is the Premium Guest Token, which works similarly to the Guest Token but offers greater discounts, saving Chief Su quite a bit of money.
"And the third type..."
He paused slightly at this point:
"The third type is the VIP Token, which allows for unlimited free supplementary purchases at any location associated with the Hundred Merchants Association.
"All costs are borne by the company that issued the token.
"However, using this VIP Token leaves a trace.
"Many people dislike it for this reason.
"I can imagine that, as a traveler in the Jianghu, Chief Su wouldn't want his movements to be completely monitored by our Wang family, so we dare not offer you a VIP Token. But if Chief Su does not mind, our Wang family is willing to provide one."
While speaking, he pulled out another token from his chest, identical to the one in Su Mo's hand, except it had an additional 'Wang' character on it.
It was evident he had prepared in advance but wanted to clarify the matter beforehand.
"I see,"
Su Mo smiled upon hearing this:
"How can I let the Wang family pay for everything on my behalf?
"If I were to buy everything I saw, the Bohai Association might end up being emptied by me."
"If Chief Su truly has this intention, I am willing to gift the Bohai Association to you,"
Wang Chaosheng immediately found an opportunity, though it was merely a jest.
Su Mo laughed freely, not accepting the VIP Token, and casually chatted to divert the topic.
In his heart, he thought of Manager Zhan.
Back at the Three Rivers Bay Pier, he gave Su Mo a token, claiming it was a Guest Token.
But it was clearly a VIP Token.
Actually, this wasn't a big issue.
The problem was, why didn't Manager Zhan explain the matter truthfully?
There was something fishy about Manager Zhan's ship.
There should be other experts aboard...
However, how things were on their ship had little to do with Su Mo, so he never pursued the matter.
But if one day he entered Nanhai and relied on the VIP Token from Manager Zhan for every purchase...
Then every place he visited would be tracked by Manager Zhan, while he remained blissfully unaware, which would be unreasonable.
No wonder Manager Zhan once said that when holding this token in Nanhai, you could find him.
So there was another layer of mystery to it.
After rolling this thought in his mind, he temporarily set it aside.
Sitting with the Wang father and son at a tea stall by the pier,
After ordering tea, they chatted casually.
Wang Chengying mentioned that Wang Xiaowan had been shocked last night, so she wouldn't be coming out today.
During the conversation, he couldn't help but glare at Wang Chaosheng.
It was clear he was still blaming him for causing unnecessary trouble and being quite harmful.
Wang Chaosheng, undaunted in his old age, had a thick skin and ignored his son's reproachful glances.
Seeing Wang Chengying broach the topic, Su Mo asked:
"Speaking of which, how does Master Wang plan to deal with that item?"
"Ah... it's a hot potato,"
Wang Chaosheng sighed, "More importantly, it doesn't contain what I desire. Keeping it will inevitably attract avarice.
"So, I intend to announce the matter and then invite the Hundred Merchants Association to facilitate selling the Pill Scripture."
"Master Wang's ability to take and let go is truly admirable."
Su Mo smiled: "However, I'm curious, how did Master Wang, from afar in Pingyang Island, come to know the whereabouts of the Pill Scripture?"
"Hehe, I've spent my life operating in this Nanhai, and naturally have my own channels.
"However, obtaining this news was purely accidental.
"Unexpectedly, it turned out to be genuine."
At this point, the old man couldn't help but feel smug.
This made Wang Chengying glare at him once more.
After a moment's consideration, Su Mo didn't press further, engaging in casual chatter for a while. Then, he and Yang Xiaoyun excused themselves.
They couldn't stay with the two forever, as they had many matters on the ship requiring their attention.
The Wang father and son didn't mind, letting Su and his associate attend to their own affairs.
The father and son took the opportunity to have tea and chat.
When Su and the others set sail, they would be there to see them off as well.
Thus, Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun returned to the Ziyang Escort Agency's large vessel.
After matching the inventory with Song Yuanlong, listing what was missing or needed, someone came to report.
Saying that early this morning, when dragging half a cow to feed the White Tiger, two people were found in the room.
Su Mo was taken aback by this.
He immediately went with Yang Xiaoyun to have a look, interested to see which two individuals had the unique idea of offering themselves to the tiger early in the morning.
Upon arriving, they saw the two individuals had already been dragged out from White Tiger's 'bedroom'.
They lay unconscious on the deck.
Seeing Su Mo's arrival, Song Yuanlong laughed and said:
