"You greedy guy, how much do you want?" asked Boss Bailixing bluntly.

"At least one thousand taels of gold!"

"No!" the four little kids said in unison.

"Nine hundred taels of gold!"

"no!"

"Eight hundred taels!"

"no!"

"Seven hundred taels!"

"no!"

…

The little guys argued from two thousand taels of gold to two thousand taels of silver, and then continued. The lower they went, the longer Xiao Xuanxuan delayed.

Finally, Baili Yue couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped into the middle of the team and shouted, "Stop!"

As expected, no one spoke. Everyone was furious.

"If Xiao Xuanxuan takes us out, Daddy, Mom, Uncle, and Auntie will definitely find out. When we come back, Xiao Xuanxuan will definitely be scolded. Besides, Xiao Xuanxuan will have a heavy responsibility on his shoulders if he takes us out."

Seeing the brothers about to speak, Baili Yue interrupted, "Don't say you're all grown up and can take responsibility for yourselves. Let me ask you, what if you run into bad people when you go out? What if you run into people who kidnap children? With your limited martial arts skills, can you stop those who would hurt you?"

Seeing his brothers bow their heads, Baili Yue continued: "You want to run away from home, and you want to follow Xiaoxuanxuan to fun places, but you are not willing to pay. Where in the world can such a good thing happen?

One thousand taels of silver per person, that's settled, not a penny less! Anyone who takes less doesn't need to participate!"

Baili Yue’s words made all the little guys, including Qianye Shengxuan, open their mouths and then become depressed.

Baili Chen, Baili Hao, Baili Fan and Baili Xing felt that one thousand taels was too expensive!

Qianye Shengxuan felt that one thousand taels was too cheap for these four little brats!

He was already poor enough, and he still had to support four little brats. At this moment, Qianye Shengxuan felt that his life was gray.

Before he could say anything about adding money, the four little kids said in unison: "Okay, one thousand taels is one thousand taels. But Brother Xiaoxuan, we have to make it clear first, one thousand taels of silver is given to you, and you can't treat us too unfairly.

We will consider 500 taels of silver as your protection fee. As for the remaining 500 taels, I know that the cost of living in Kyushu is not high. 500 taels of silver is enough for an average family to spend for most of their lives.

We're only away for ten days this time, so during these ten days, you can't mistreat us, you can't let us take care of ourselves, you can't deny us good food, you can't..."

"Then you guys just go by yourselves! I'm not going!" Qianye Shengxuan rolled his eyes at Baili Chen, this annoying guy. Did he think he was an idiot?

"Five hundred taels for protection... You're all sons of princes, so your lives are only worth five hundred taels? If someone offers a thousand taels, can I sell you out?"

Four buns: “…”

"Let me tell you, I, Qianye Shengxuan, am a man of integrity. If it weren't for the fact that we are brothers, I wouldn't take you out even if you gave me ten thousand taels of silver!

Also, do you know how expensive things are out there? Last time you went out, you only ate a few strings of candied haws and some street food. Those things are cheap, of course, but what about restaurants? What about hotels? What about spending money? What about entertainment?

Humph! I don't want to tell you too much, a thousand taels, just enough to fill your stomach.
