"Two million?" The people around couldn’t help but click their tongues.
How damn rich was this guy? Opening his mouth with two million, and he didn’t even blink?
"You think you can settle it with just two million..." Young Master Li still refused to compromise. In his eyes, his face was paramount; once his face was slapped, no amount of Red Crystals could make up for it.
Unfortunately, his father clearly could not empathize with his feelings.
Even with the Li Family’s vast wealth, two million was enough to cover a month or two of pure profit; he absolutely wasn’t going to let that slip away.
"Fine, two million it is!" The middle-aged man agreed with a smile. "But the matter of injuring my family mber is another account!"
"Of course!" Ye Haochuan said very straightforwardly. "Add the compensation for injuring people and the courtyard together with what I owe Young Master Li, and I’ll give you five million. How’s that?"
"Straightforward!" The middle-aged man laughed heartily.
"Brother Ye, they were clearly in the wrong, why would you..." Niu Kui was completely puzzled. He was just about to ask when Ye Haochuan stopped him.
Ye Haochuan didn’t drag it out at all, quickly transferring the five million Red Crystals, then took his leave and exited the Li Residence.
"Li Chun, could there be so trick in this?" Liao Li watched Ye Haochuan’s retreating figure, speaking thoughtfully.
He kept feeling that the contrast in Ye Haochuan’s attitude just now was way too big, no matter how he looked at it, it reeked of so sche.
"What trick could there be? He handed the Red Crystals himself, I didn’t force him. Even if he goes and finds soone from Half-Mountain Residence, he won’t be able to take even half a point of advantage off !" The middle-aged man said quite smugly.
Right, he was only a Guest Elder of Half-Mountain Residence. Even if he did find Half-Mountain Residence, they wouldn’t show up over such a trivial matter!
Liao Li muttered to himself.
He didn’t know why, but even though he thought that, he still had a faintly uneasy feeling in his heart.
On the other side, Ye Haochuan was taking Niu Kui back toward the city.
The Spirit Level Pill’s effect was indeed impressive. In barely more than ten minutes, Niu Kui’s injuries had mostly healed. The ones remaining were relatively stubborn damage that would need rest to recover.
"Right, my ring is still in their hands, and the Giant Que Sword is in it too. No way, I have to go get it back from them!" Halfway along, Niu Kui suddenly rembered and spoke anxiously.
He was about to turn back when Ye Haochuan stopped him. "No need. Wait until tomorrow; those things will naturally make their way back to you."
Niu Kui scratched his head, half understanding at best, and asked, "Brother Ye, what dicine are you selling in that gourd of yours?"
"You’ll know when tomorrow cos." Ye Haochuan said, deliberately putting on an inscrutable air.
The two walked in silence, and soon returned to the city.
Seeing that it was about to get dark, Ye Haochuan went back to the inn he’d stayed at before and asked for two rooms.
The Shop Assistant saw that Ye Haochuan had actually brought Niu Kui back and was so frightened he started shaking, his face as long as a funeral banner. "Honored guest, you’d better find another place to stay. If you sneak him out like this and the Li Family finds out, our little shop will get dragged down with you!"
"Relax, I redeed him with Red Crystals. Besides, after tomorrow, you won’t need to be afraid of the Li Family anymore." Ye Haochuan said with a smile.
The Shop Assistant listened in a daze, only taking in the first half of the sentence and directly ignoring the latter half.
Since he’d been redeed, there was no need to fear the Li Family coming to cause trouble. Only then did the Shop Assistant straightforwardly open two rooms.
Soon, Niu Kui went back to his own room to sleep, while Ye Haochuan cultivated in his room until midnight, then quietly slipped out of the inn using his Invisibility Ability.
Roughly three or four hours later, he silently slipped back in again, took out a jade token two fingers wide, and channeled Flower Energy into it.
This was the ssage Jade Slip Shentu Fu had given him when he left Half-Mountain Residence.
This Jade Slip was nowhere near as convenient as a phone. It could only communicate with the holder of a specific paired slip, and it continuously consud Flower Energy during use. Ye Haochuan couldn’t help sighing that sotis, technology really was more convenient than cultivation.
But the Jade Slip wasn’t without its advantages. At least it had one that phones couldn’t even dream of: even if it was stored inside a ring, it could still sense an incoming call from the other side.
Under Ye Haochuan’s urging of Flower Energy, a lazy voice soon ca from the other end. "What? You ran into big trouble this fast?"
"It is trouble, but not that big. I just want to ask you for a favor..." Ye Haochuan chuckled, then briefly laid out his plan to Shentu Fu.
At the end, he didn’t forget to add, "Don’t worry, I won’t have you help for nothing. Once it’s done, we split fifty-fifty!"
"Ye Haochuan, are you screwing with ?" Shentu Fu not only failed to be pleased, but actually cursed, "Do you know how precious my ti is? You want to waste it over that asly bit of Red Crystals?"
Damn, how did it beco ’asly’ Red Crystals? There would be at least tens of millions, right?
Ye Haochuan was speechless for a mont.
But thinking about it, it made sense. With Shentu Fu’s cultivation so high, tens of millions probably weren’t even enough to cover the consumption of a single cultivation session.
"Anyway, you said yourself you’d look out for . If you don’t help now, isn’t that way too irresponsible?" Ye Haochuan said shalessly.
"Help my ass. If you’re short on Red Crystals, just tell and I’ll give you so. What you need to do right now is hurry up and cultivate. Once you break through to the True Immortal Realm, there’s sothing important you’ll have to do. Wasting ti over a bit of Spirit Crystal is wasting your life, you know that?" Shentu Fu snapped.
Damn, this guy was the classic hindsight expert. Why the hell didn’t he think to give so Red Crystals when I was leaving?
Ye Haochuan inwardly sneered, but outwardly he just smiled and said, "Red Crystals I ask you for aren’t half as satisfying as Red Crystals I get from cracking down on bullies. One way or another, you have to help this ti. If this doesn’t get done, I won’t be able to get this anger out of my chest. If I don’t vent it, my ntal state might beco unstable, and then I could go into qi deviation. You’ll be fully responsible!"
"You little bastard, you dare threaten ? Do you know what happened to the last person who threatened ?" Shentu Fu said coldly.
"What could’ve happened? If you’ve got the ability, go ahead and kill ." Ye Haochuan said, completely unconcerned.
"You..." Shentu Fu was instantly at a loss for words.
Fuck, if I’d known, I wouldn’t have told this brat about his mission. This was a textbook case of getting spoiled and acting all high and mighty!
Shentu Fu had already cursed him countless tis in his heart.
"Just wait, I’ll have soone take care of it for you!" Shentu Fu forced down the urge to kill soone and snorted. "But I’m warning you, this is the first and last ti. If you dare pull this again, even if you die, I won’t care."
"What, you’re not coming yourself?" Ye Haochuan sounded like he didn’t feel threatened at all, just puzzled.
"I don’t have that kind of free ti to ss around with you. Don’t worry, I guarantee your plan won’t fall through!" Shentu Fu snorted, then directly hung up.
Heh, done!
Ye Haochuan chuckled to himself, already looking forward to what would happen tomorrow.
