"I see. If I break my promise, my reputation will be ruined by you. For someone as important as the Holy Son, reputation is undoubtedly very important."
Si Yun could now feel that the other party really wanted his help to redeem herself, but he had not expected that Miss Lan Xin, who seemed to be so glorious in daily life, would have such difficulties.
"Yes."
"So after I redeem you, what are you going to do?"
"I've already told you before, if you truly redeem me, I'm willing to work like a slave to repay you, Saint Son. Whatever you want..."
Lan Xin was also a little expectant in her heart. She was taking such a gamble today. If she won, she would be free again and even stay with the person she loved. If she lost, she would just die. Anyway, she had wanted to commit suicide countless times, hadn't she?
Si Yun looked at Lan Xin carefully.
Lan Xin was being stared at by Si Yun, and her heartbeat began to accelerate.
"Your Excellency the Holy Son...what do you think of this deal?" She couldn't help but speak.
"You should be good at management."
"Management? Indeed, after all, I have been doing similar things for the past eleven years."
"That's good. I happen to have some businesses in Xingluo City that I was planning to sell. How about handing them over to you to manage?"
"sure!"
Hearing Si Yun's words, she responded a little excitedly.
"Okay, it's a deal. I will redeem you. I hope you can work well for me after you regain your freedom." Si Yun was still a little reluctant to sell all his properties. After all, he had quietly opened three restaurants and five markets in Xingluo City. Although they had just been opened for a short time, the management was reasonable. The monthly profit was at least 100,000 gold soul coins, and during the peak season, it could make 300,000 gold soul coins. As time went by, the business was getting better and better.
Selling it at this time would undoubtedly be helping others. I was originally worried that no one would take care of it after I was gone, but now someone has come to my door. I just don't know if this person is trustworthy, and I need to investigate further.
"You really agreed!"
"Well, wait for my news."
After saying that, Si Yun left.
After Si Yun left, Lan Xin couldn't suppress her excitement and wanted to do something. She looked around and finally punched the air.
...
"Master Shengzi, I wonder what you want to see our boss about?"
"I want to buy someone from your restaurant."
"Oh, are you buying someone? I didn't expect that there is someone in our small restaurant that the Holy Son would take a fancy to. It's such an honor." The deacon said as he led the way.
But Si Yun did not respond.
The deacon was not angry about this. After all, he was the son of a genius, so it was normal for him to be a little arrogant.
"We're here, Master Saint, our boss is inside."
"Um."
"Master, the Holy Son is here and wants to see you. Is it convenient for you now?"
"Come in."
"yes."
After saying this, the deacon opened the door and gestured for him to come in.
After walking in, a middle-aged man who looked a little thin was hugging two young and beautiful women and laughing.
This scene was somewhat inconsistent with Si Yun's imagination. He thought the other party should be a greasy middle-aged man with a big belly, but it was almost the same. It was a thin and greasy middle-aged man. It was almost the same, except that he guessed the body shape wrong.
The two girls beside him had their eyes lit up when they saw Si Yun.
After seeing Si Yun, Fan Yao was even more astonished. However, he quickly realized, "I've heard that the Holy Son is extraordinary and otherworldly. Seeing him today, I know the rumors are all false."
"Oh, so what do you think of me?"
"Common words like 'remarkable grace' and 'otherworldly' are no longer enough to describe the Holy Son. I can't think of any more words to describe the Holy Son." Fan Yao started calling him Old Tam as soon as he opened his mouth, and Si Yun was a little dazed by the flattery.
Seeing Si Yun who seemed a little surprised, Fan Yao smiled and said, "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Fan Yao, the owner of Baiye Restaurant. I wonder what Lord Saint Son wants to talk to me about this time. If I can be of any use to you, I will certainly do my best to help you."
"I want someone from you here."
"Oh, who is it?" Fan Yao looked more serious.
"Lan Xin."
Hearing this name, Fan Yao showed a thoughtful expression.
"She asked you to help redeem her, didn't she? I guess she even gave you some money. Let me guess, around 500,000 gold soul coins?"
"Yeah." Si Yun was still a little surprised that the other party could guess everything. The owner of Bai Ye Restaurant really had some tricks up his sleeve.
"She truly trusts you. These five hundred thousand gold soul coins are practically all she has. If she loses the bet, she will be locked up in the White Night Restaurant for the rest of her life, unless someone else is willing to redeem her. But she chose you, so she won the bet. I can give you the person, and I don't need the money, but I do need a promise from the Saint Son."
Hearing the other party's words, Si Yun paused and said, "What promise?"
"If one day in the future, the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Hall go to war, and the Star Luo Empire loses, please, Saint Son, show mercy and spare our Baiye Restaurant."
"Oh, what do you mean?"
"Sir, please don't pretend with me. I know all the little tricks you've been playing in Xingluo City, and so does His Majesty the King, but he hasn't exposed you. The Spirit Hall is so powerful now, and the King won't easily touch you unless it's a matter of life and death. Many people are aware of the Spirit Hall's ambitions, aren't they?"
After hesitating for a moment, Si Yun nodded and said, "Okay."
"Then I would like to thank the Holy Son first."
"But I want to make it clear that the premise for me to let him go is that Baiye Restaurant doesn't do anything behind my back."
"Don't worry, Lord Saint. I cherish my life the most. I still have so much money. I won't die if I don't enjoy it."
"You're quite open-minded."
...
Lan Xin paced back and forth in her room. She wanted to relax, but she couldn't.
"Knock, knock, knock."
There was a knock on the door and Lan Xin hurried over to open it.
"Come with me, and from now on you will help me manage my business in Xingluo City." Si Yun said.
In an instant, all the burdens on Lan Xin fell to the ground, and she breathed a long sigh of relief.
Crystal clear tears appeared on Lan Xin's cheeks. Si Yun turned around and closed the door.
"I'll give you half an hour to get ready. I'll come pick you up later."
He did not completely fail to understand Lan Xin's current feelings. At the beginning of his journey, when he obtained this body that could move freely, he was also excited to the point of crying. That was the joy of a prisoner who had been trapped in a dark cage and regained his freedom.
