"You can afford to pay the salary yourself, a thousand taels of silver."

"Impossible. Putting aside the matter of money, why would I, a member of the Xuanji Guard, privately support a group of people who are capable of being trained as death guards?"

Are you trying to mess with me?!

"I don't understand what Your Highness is saying."

Suimo, Douzhan, and Canglan remained silent, with the cunning Suimo even taking two steps away quietly.

Knowing her own prince as she does, she fears he might take his anger out on her if he can't win an argument.

I wouldn't go so far as to hit or scold her, but most people can't stand that chattering mouth; it would be better to hit or scold her...

In short, Suimo doesn't want to be a fish in the sea.

Canglan wasn't too surprised; the disaster relief mission had given them a general understanding of the Sixth Prince's personality.

Of course, she knows her own family members better.

There's no other possibility than bringing this group under the command of the Xuanji Guard; the only solution is to eliminate them at the source.

But I've never seen a doujian before.

Although they are the Xuanji Guard and are only responsible to His Majesty, isn't it a bit too assertive for the eldest to speak to the Sixth Prince?

The two sides are locked in a stalemate, neither willing to give way!

"Fine, I'll compromise," Qin Zhaoyue shouted. "I'll take the person with me and make sure they're settled, but I need two... no, three treasures from the underground palace."

"impossible."

"Hey! Don't go too far. You think you can just take care of the food and supplies? You can't expect me to pay for everything. Two items, that's my bottom line."

"No."

"Can't you have a little compassion? They're already in such a miserable state, what's wrong with spending a little money? Does your partner know how heartless you are?"

"Um, I don't have any money."

Qin Zhaoyue snapped her fingers across the sword, "Are you going to do anything about this?"

I didn't think much of the chiseling; it was just a matter of spending some money.

Although he still owed 100,000 taels of silver, and although he wasn't interested in money, he was already at the Divine Martial Realm, so earning some money shouldn't be difficult.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to accept, a cold gaze swept over him.

Hmm... never mind, I'll listen to the boss.

Seeing his pathetic state, Qin Zhaoyue was furious.

"Ha, someone like you, even if you're cured, you'll still be a simp."

What kind of dog? Dou Zhan didn't understand.

Qin Zhaoyue glared fiercely at the pair of "adulterous couple" and strode out.

She didn't need to join in the fun; she should have just stayed out of it!

As soon as he stepped out of the house, he found a group of people standing outside the door.

Qin Zhaoyue recognized them at a glance because of their outstanding appearance.

There were those shameless people in the Golden Pool Hall, and the group rescued from the underground of the rear hall.

At this moment, the two groups were clearly separated, each occupying one side of the courtyard.

Upon seeing her come out, the young man who had treated everyone's injuries earlier immediately knelt down with a bang.

"Please, my benefactor, take me in."

This seemed to signal the start of a new activity, and immediately a group of people on the right knelt down.

Within two or three breaths, everyone on the left also knelt down.

"Please, my benefactor, take me in!"

Upon seeing the thirty or forty jet-black heads, Qin Zhaoyue's temples throbbed.

What happened? Saving someone resulted in a mountain of debt?

Don't go too far!
