The shopkeeper furrowed his brows. “Miss, your statement is incorrect!”

“A pennyworth for a penny, the jewelry from our Nirvana Pavilion is well-known. This set of accessories is even more exquisite than the others. It includes hairpins, hair combs, and hair ornaments. Naturally, the price is higher. Most importantly, this set of accessories is made with precious Shuihua Rainbow Stones, which have defensive properties comparable to defensive-grade profound artifacts.”

“Wow, so it has Shuihua Rainbow Stones! No wonder it’s so beautiful!”

“The luster and color can only be achieved with Shuihua Rainbow Stones. And it has defensive capabilities too. Thirty thousand taels of silver is not expensive at all!”

Initially, Gu Jinyue only wanted to snatch the item that Gu Qingluan and Tang Shijun were interested in. But after hearing the shopkeeper’s words, she felt somewhat tempted by this set of accessories.

“Thirty thousand taels it is. This three thousand tael will serve as a deposit, and you can send someone to my house for the remainder.”

The shopkeeper frowned. “Oh, this puts me in a difficult position. Normally, I would give in to the Gu family and Fourth Miss Gu. However, we have rules in our store. This Miss Gu is a special VIP in our store, and she has priority in selecting all the new items. So, I’m sorry, Fourth Miss Gu…”

“What special VIP? Is she worthy?” Gu Jinyue interrupted.

Others also had objections.

“Yeah, shopkeeper, what special VIP? We’ve never heard of it.”

“The membership system is a management model recently introduced by our store for different customers. The special VIP is the highest level of membership and enjoys the highest privileges in the store, such as priority selection of new items and receiving gifts delivered to their homes during holidays.”

“Wow, that’s great! Shopkeeper, how can one become a special VIP? You can’t show favoritism. If Miss Gu can become one, why can’t we become your special VIPs?”

“Our store treats every customer equally. As long as you can afford the membership fee, you can become a member. The special VIP membership fee is one million taels of silver per year.”

“One million taels?” Everyone gasped.

“Shopkeeper, are you sure you’re telling the truth?”

“Absolutely, I never deceive anyone.”

Seeing everyone looking shocked, the shopkeeper smiled. “Of course, one million taels is for the special VIP. In addition to the special VIP, we also have first-level, second-level, and third-level VIPs. The third-level VIP only needs to pay ten thousand taels of silver as the annual membership fee.”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s more reasonable.”

“Shopkeeper, I want to join as a third-level VIP!”

“I want to join too!”

“Alright! Esteemed guests, please go to the adjacent room. I’ll have someone register you.” The shopkeeper said with a beaming smile.

Some guests immediately went to complete the registration, but there were still several people in front of the counter.

Gu Qingluan placed a stack of silver notes on the counter. “Here’s thirty thousand taels.”

The shopkeeper smiled and counted the silver notes, making sure everything was correct. Then they closed the jewelry box containing the accessories and handed it to Gu Qingluan. “Miss, this is yours.”

“Hold on!”

Gu Jinyue suddenly spoke up.

The shopkeeper paused. “Is there anything else, Fourth Miss Gu?”

“One million taels, right? Register me as one! I want to become a special VIP of your store!” Gu Jinyue emphasized each word.

Gu Jinyue glared. “Who do you think you’re looking down on? It’s just one million taels! Our Gu family was able to snatch the Universe Stabilizer at the Lushi Auction House. Do we care about such a small amount of money?”

Gu Jinyue grew more and more assertive in her speech.

That’s right!

Their Gu family was the top family. They could produce 1,800 Xuanling Crystal Hearts, not to mention a mere one million taels of silver!

“But you’re not a special VIP yet, Miss. Miss Gu is already…”

“Give me half an hour, no, the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, and 1’11 bring one million taels of silver to you! Shopkeeper, you wouldn’t show such disrespect and turn me down, would you?”

“Well…” The shopkeeper looked at Gu Qingluan with a troubled expression..
