Chapter 93

Unfair Terms

Yan Qingyan remembered the agreement between her and Ling Mochen. They had agreed to go to Wudao Cliff together when they had time. She didn't want to go there alone.

Seeing that Young Master Song was making one move after another and was about to go to the Enlightenment Cliff again, she had no choice but to speak up and make a suggestion.

"Tomorrow?" Song Shaochi was stunned for a moment, then said weakly: "I just want to go today, okay?"

While he was in a good mood, he wanted to have fun.

Yan Qingyan lowered her head and thought for a moment, then asked again: "Then can I inform my Taoist partner? Mo Chen's shop is also closing time, so you can go with us."

"Shop?" Song Shaochi tilted his head and asked harmlessly, "Is this the shop opened by Sister Yan's Taoist partner?"

"Yes." Yan Qingyan nodded.

"Then I want to go and see it too!" said Song Shaochi.

Yan Qingyan: ...

"The store is closed. Let's go tomorrow." Yan Qingyan said helplessly.

She finally understood that this young master would go wherever he wanted to go, and he would go wherever you told him to go.

"Then open it again. I have a lot of spirit stones and can buy your medicine!" Song Shaochi said as a matter of course.

"We are closed after closing time. Let's wait until tomorrow. You can buy as much as you want tomorrow." Yan Qingyan shook her head.

This was the first time Song Shaochi encountered such a rejection. He was stunned for a moment, then habitually took out 10,000 high-quality spirit stones and said, "Let's go to the store today and see if these are enough?"

Yan Qingyan: ...

Where did this stupid and rich kid come from? !

Do you think that smashing the spirit stones can make me go against my principles? !

Maybe... maybe... maybe...

She should ask Mo Chen.

Yan Qingyan took out the communication jade talisman and told him what happened here.

Ling Mochen quickly replied with a very 'cool' answer.

[You decide, I'm fine with it.] 】

Yan Qingyan: ...I can’t decide!

This brat is testing my faith!

Before Yan Qingyan could speak, Ye Feichen couldn't sit still anymore and interrupted, "Well... Actually, my cave is much better looking than Mo Chen's medicine shop. Do you want to go and take a look at my cave?"

Ye Feichen looked at the glittering 10,000 high-grade spirit stones, secretly swallowed his saliva, and said weakly: "No need for 10,000 high-grade spirit stones, 5,000 will be enough."

Dongfang Huaiwei & Yan Qingyan: ...

What kind of leader did they find?

This time, Song Shaochi was not curious about Ye Feichen's cave, but was obsessed with Liuhuo Pill Shop. He looked at Yan Qingyan expectantly and asked, "Sister Yan, I still want to go to the pill shop to see, are these spirit stones enough?"

Yan Qingyan hesitated for a moment, then chose her words carefully: "It's okay for me to let you look at the shop. If you want to buy some elixirs, you can also come to my cave to trade privately. You don't need these spirit stones. I still prefer fair trade."

Ten thousand high-quality spirit stones were indeed a fortune from heaven. They could be easily obtained by taking the young master to the store for a look, but she felt that this went against her conscience.

Her way is the 'way of freedom', and freedom means rejecting whatever you want.

The same goes for temptation.

She has the ability to earn ten thousand high-quality spirit stones on her own. There is no need for her to make herself unhappy today just for the sake of something she will surely get in the future.

"I want to see the store when it opens. If it's popular, can it stay open for the time being?" Yan Qingyan's statement obviously did not satisfy Song Shaochi's wishes, so he asked again.

"No." This time Yan Qingyan refused quickly, "We will not open after closing time."

"Why? Is it because there are not enough spirit stones?" Song Shaochi was a little unconvinced. He took out another 10,000 high-grade spirit stones and said stubbornly, "How about another 10,000?"

Yan Qingyan was really annoyed now.

She didn't like the feeling of being tested.

Yan Qingyan no longer used her usual gentle tone, but instead said coldly: "No, I want to go back."

He chose to be a mercenary in order to experience the ideal mercenary life and explore the secret places outside the city, but the content of such missions obviously did not match his original intention.

"Go...go back?" Song Shaochi was stunned for a moment, then said with a slightly aggrieved expression: "Does Sister Yan hate me?"

"Huh? No way?" Yan Qingyan denied, "Didn't you write in the content of the task you sent that 'If you want to terminate the task, you can cancel it at any time and all commissions will be refunded'? I have something to do today and I want to withdraw on my own. I can refund my share of the spiritual stone commission, but Uncle Ye and Sister Huai Wei will still follow you."

"Don't worry, Wudao Cliff also belongs to the sphere of influence of Wanjiang City, so it won't make any difference if I am not with you."

Mercenary missions can be terminated midway, but the corresponding spirit stones must be returned, which is equivalent to "penalty for breach of contract".

Yan Qingyan weighed the spirit stone in his hand and waved his hand generously.

I can afford the compensation!

Hearing what Yan Qingyan said, Ye Feichen looked at her with a hard-to-explain expression, and explained in a low voice: "Qingyan, this sentence written on the task refers to 'Young Master Song wants to terminate the task and can cancel it at any time, not us', and 'refund all commissions' also means that when the employer is not satisfied with our task, all the spirit stones we have earned during the period will be refunded together, not divided according to a single person, but refers to all of us.

Moreover, once we have accepted a task, we cannot cancel it on our own unless the employer agrees, otherwise we will have to pay ten times the penalty. ”

Just think about the price offered by the Tiangan Merchant Alliance, and look at how many mercenary groups went for the "interview".

The word rich is no longer enough to describe it.

Yan Qingyan: ...

Isn’t this an unfair clause?

......

The atmosphere in the team became somewhat subtle.

Yan Qingyan felt a little embarrassed. She thought she could just leave, but she didn't expect that she couldn't leave!

Not only was he unable to leave, but he also offended his wealthy employer.

Since I've already offended someone, it doesn't matter if I offend someone more...right?

She really doesn't like this kind of 'forcing a smile' assignment. She thought she had met an employer with a good personality, but she didn't expect him to be such a villain. She will never accept this kind of assignment again!

It's no use for Captain Ye to act coquettishly!

Song Shaochi was still insisting: "I want to go to the Danpu to check it out. It will be reopened for a while. It won't be a problem."

Yan Qingyan replied calmly: "It's in the way. I don't like it."

Song Shaochi looked like he was crying: "You didn't abide by the mercenary treaty. I thought all mercenaries were 'excellent'. It turns out I was wrong."

Yan Qingyan frowned and said, "I didn't violate the mercenary treaty. I just didn't abide by your overbearing contract."

Song Shaochi was puzzled: "What is a 'tyrant contract'? The content of the mission was originally drafted at random. The mercenaries who accept the mission can choose themselves. Sister Yan is blaming me for not writing the mission content clearly? But I really wrote it carefully."

Yan Qingyan shook her head slightly: "Anyway, the store is closed today. You can come back tomorrow."

Song Shaochi pouted: "But I just want to go today. I won't be in the mood tomorrow. I don't care. If you don't go, I'll find Brother Xue Fatian!"

Yan Qingyan's face turned black: "Looking for him is fine. Whether Mo Chen's shop is open or not has nothing to do with me. He is not a member of the mercenary group."

Song Shaochi was stunned: "Uh..."

He didn't expect Yan Qingyan to say this, but it was true. No one had ever stipulated that one must listen to the Taoist partner's words or help complete the Taoist partner's tasks.

Song Shaochi's temper also rose, and he said in a weak but threatening tone: "Then let's go to Wudao Cliff. It's just us, is that okay?"

Yan Qingyan was not polite and replied coldly: "The road to Wanjiang City was not built by the Tiangan Merchant Alliance. Mo Chen can go there if he wants to. No one can stop him."

Song Shaochi: “Ah?”

“…”

Ye Feichen and Dongfang Huaiwei watched the two people "arguing" back and forth in silence.

How did things turn out like this?

This Young Master Song is not as well-behaved as he looks!

It is true...you can't judge a book by its cover!

Passersby saw the "high-quality spirit stones" scattered all over the ground, and the sound of them swallowing saliva could be clearly heard, but no one dared to grab them.

It’s not a secret hidden place in the wilderness, why bother risking your life!
