Master Gu sat calmly, his gaze never leaving Mingluo. He noticed that the directions Mingluo was staring at were the ones they had identified as problematic, and he couldn't help but become interested in Mingluo.
This girl may be young, but she probably has some skills.
After all, the younger generation is now incredibly powerful.
These former elites are in grave danger.
He asked kindly, "Ming girl, who is your master? Which sect do you belong to?"
That's an old-fashioned question.
Ultimately, the Xuanmen (Taoist) sect still relies on its lineage and traditions.
In many cases, the lineage one follows is a symbol of one's ability. Disciples of prestigious schools are more respected and are indeed more capable.
There are also some sects that are passed down through families, and these lineages have many secret techniques. Generally speaking, they are quite capable.
Master Gu trusted Nie Yuchen and knew his abilities and character. Nie Yuchen wouldn't easily bring people over without being sure of the outcome, so he didn't mind learning more about Mingluo.
Minglu couldn't find anything about the mystical sects of this world in the original owner's memories. After all, each profession is like a separate world, and she had nothing to refer to, let alone make one up. Of course, she wouldn't bother to make one up either.
However, telling the truth inevitably leads to being perceived as arrogant.
It's a real dilemma.
She said calmly, "I belong to no sect or faction."
"..." Master Gu was surprised for a moment, "So you're self-taught?"
Minglu thought for a moment, "More or less!"
She was indeed self-taught in the God Realm. She possessed a talent that was rare even once in ten thousand years. What others needed two or three years to achieve, she could accomplish in just two or three days.
She only read a few books on esoteric arts and then understood them; she never studied them further.
I never imagined I'd have to make money from this now.
Thinking of this, Mingluo felt very complicated, and a melancholy look appeared on her face.
She wanted to return to the realm of gods, to seek revenge, and to become the god-slayer who could pluck stars from the sky once more.
Master Gu was speechless. He looked at Nie Yuchen with a deep gaze, his eyes filled with the question, "What exactly are you doing?"
He never imagined that Nie Yuchen would be so unreliable.
Is it because she's too pretty?
That won't work either!
She's fine to marry and have as a wife, but she can't be out there collecting dirty laundry!
Nie Yuchen smiled politely and distantly, and said calmly, "Let her try; it won't hurt you."
"Uh...okay!" Fan's parents had no doubts. With Nie Yuchen's help, they were willing to let Mingluo stay here for ten days or half a month.
They gave Nie Yuchen face because they believed he was a fair person, and that if they suffered a loss today, he would make it up to them another day.
Nie Yuchen was very satisfied. He wanted to use this trip to test Mingluo's true strength. If she was indeed a master, yet powerless against the Peach Blossom Seal, it would further demonstrate the power of that seal.
He should be careful, as the symptoms of peach blossom marks may not be obvious at first, but who knows if there will be any sequelae later.
Let's see how she takes responsibility then.
After regaining their composure, Mr. and Mrs. Fan said, "Miss Ming, where would you like to begin?"
Mingluo said calmly, "I can solve the problem, but we need to talk about the price first."
"Okay!" Mr. and Mrs. Fan readily agreed.
Mingluo said, "You pay them ten million, so my fee will be higher."
Master Gu glanced at Mingluo in surprise. How did she know their fee was ten million? It must have been Nie Yuchen who told her.
Nie Yuchen's eyes darkened further. He had no idea that Fan Wensi had spent ten million to hire Master Gu, let alone tell Mingluo.
Did Mingluo calculate this again?
Can she really figure it out?
In fact, Mingluo saw from the wealth palace of the ancient master Ziwei Doushu that he had made a fortune.
Since it's windfall, anything less than ten million isn't considered windfall.
She quickly calculated a rough estimate with her fingers.
A glimmer of hope arose in Mr. and Mrs. Fan's hearts. If he really dared to ask for such an exorbitant amount, he must be truly capable.
At first, they thought Mingluo was Nie Yuchen's vassal, but upon closer inspection of the girl, they found her to be calm, composed, and exuding an air of nobility and elegance that emanated from her very being. Such an aura could only come from extreme self-confidence.
They may have misjudged the situation.
The two immediately sat up straight, their expressions sincere. "Please name your price. We're willing to do anything to solve the problem. Even if it doesn't, we'll still give you a tip for your trouble."
Minglu glanced at the sales pitch and said calmly, "Fifteen million will guarantee your lifelong safety. However, since you are my first customer, I'll give you a discount: twelve million. That's a very fair price."
The price is very reasonable...
Nie Yuchen felt a strange urge to laugh, finding Mingluo's bargaining style incredibly down-to-earth and even somewhat adorable...
Mr. and Mrs. Fan exchanged a glance and readily agreed. "Okay!"
"No way!" Master Lin protested.
He looked at Mingluo with a cold smile, clearly disapproving of her outrageous demands right from the start.
He gave Nie Yuchen a reproachful look, feeling that Nie Yuchen shouldn't have brought Mingluo along.
His voice was sharp and grating as he said, “Girl, this line of work isn’t easy. You take people’s money to solve their problems, but if you take the money and don’t solve the problems, then disaster will come knocking on your door. If you want to make this kind of money, you should first see if you have the ability to do this kind of work. I advise you to go back to where you came from.”
Mingluo glanced over indifferently with her beautiful eyes.
