Chapter 12 People always pity the weak
Sect Master Wen sighed and said, "The Nanyi Sect is currently on the rise. How can we, a small sect, compete with them? Well, if I can get more orders for sound insulation, I can always make a living."
Zhao Xue frowned and said, "If we don't hire anyone to take care of the peach orchard, that's fine."
Xi Jing shook her head repeatedly: "That won't work. The peach orchard is our main source of income, and this year's wages haven't been paid yet."
Yue Qiran also understood that Yisanmen would hire people to take care of the peach orchard at the beginning of each year, and pay them after the peaches were sold at the end of the year.
Sect Master Wen sighed again: "Forget it, forget it, let it go."
Han Yueshan looked at his master in confusion and said, "Master, you weren't like this before. Why are you so cowardly today?"
"This isn't cowardice, it's knowing the situation!" He turned to look at Yue Qiran and said, "Miss, where are you going?"
Where to go?
It's probably just about finding an ordinary place, living an ordinary life, and spending the remaining decades or even decades well. As for cultivating immortality, betrayal, that's all, just consider it a repayment for the kindness of raising me.
As she thought about this, she felt tired, but she didn't show it on the surface. She said, "Let's find a safe place and live a stable life."
This answer was obviously inconsistent with what she said before, that she had something to do, but no one was so tactless as to ask further questions.
Master Wen nodded and said, "In that case, Xi Jing, I will give the remaining silver to the young lady as a token of my good will."
Yue Qiran hastily refused: "Master, you are too polite. You don't need the money."
Xi Jing responded crisply with a "yes" and quickly took out some silver and stuffed it into her hand: "Sister, you are a mortal and need silver more than us cultivators, so don't be polite."
Seeing that she couldn't refuse, she could only sigh and change the subject: "I do have a plan for the South Wing Gate, but I don't know if it can be used."
Several people were a little surprised, but Sect Master Wen smiled and nodded: "Young lady, please speak."
She asked, "Has the South Wing Sect had any important sects visiting recently, or any activities open to the public?"
Although Han Yueshan had no hope for her, she still replied, "I heard that they have an important person visiting tomorrow. What do you think, young lady?"
Yue Qiran narrowed her eyes, and at that moment, Xi Jing felt that she saw a cunning and beautiful fox.
"A rising sect places great importance on reputation. All you need to do is tie the repayment of the debt to your reputation."
Han Yueshan blurted out: "They are even more shameless than us, otherwise they would have paid back the money long ago."
She shook her head and continued, "They can be shameless in front of you, but they still have to respect themselves and have connections in front of other sects. Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to gain a foothold relying solely on their own strength." In other words, a sect with this kind of behavior cannot rely solely on its own strength.
Zhao Xue was still bewildered, but Han Yueshan's eyes lit up. As if enlightened, he exclaimed, "I understand. Let's make this matter known to the other sects!"
Xi Jing nodded in sudden realization, then frowned and said, "But judging by today's situation, we don't even have a chance to speak."
Yue Qiran said softly, "People always pity the weak."
Han Yueshan slapped his head and said excitedly, "Such a simple truth, why didn't I think of it before? The girl is really beautiful and smart!"
The master also laughed and said, "Since there is no other way now, let's give it a try."
