"According to our agreement: nine out and thirteen back, it should be 21,666 taels."
Bai Cang got up from the ground as if nothing had happened, dusted himself off, and "thoughtfully" reminded Zhang He.
This lazy and shameless attitude made Zhang He laugh in anger.
"Interest? I'd be grateful if I could just get my principal back before you drive me crazy."
Zhang He said irritably, "A real man should live between heaven and earth, and should rob the rich to help the poor and act on behalf of heaven. What kind of future is it to think about taking money from me every day?"
First of all, my name isn't... Sorry, wrong set.
First, you are now an attendant of the Sanyin Temple, not the Vajra of the Great Zen Temple. You should be called "Boundless Heavenly Venerable".
Second, getting money is a skill, why do you care where I got it from?
Can you tell which of the two 100-tael silver notes is more promising?
Third, robbing the rich to help the poor is robbery, and I'm robbing now too, so what's the difference?
Moreover, the next line after "A great man lives between heaven and earth" should be: How can I live a life of melancholy and subservience to others? Are you sure you want me to awaken the "father-killing" attribute and transform into "Baotou Lü Bu"?
Bai Cang inwardly grumbled, but outwardly smiled and said, "Isn't it because there are thugs outside and strongmen inside?"
"Godfather, you know me. I am timid, introverted and sensitive by nature. I am afraid of being bullied. How could I dare to go out and inherit the father's business and rob and plunder?"
"On my way here, I was blocked by someone and almost bullied."
Although I beat them so badly on the spot that they couldn't take care of themselves, it doesn't mean that I wasn't traumatized or left with any psychological scars.
Do you know how much psychological trauma a 16-year-old boy can suffer from being bullied and blocked from entering his home?
With the support of the Unequal Mother, Bai Cang was not only unreasonable but also arrogant, as if he had awakened some kind of talent for sophistry.
However, Zhang He didn't believe a single punctuation mark of Bai Cang's nonsense.
After spending this time together, he finally saw through this little bastard's true colors.
He's genuinely cowardly, and genuinely wicked!
He appears to be steady and reliable, but in reality he is incredibly audacious, and he'd try to squeeze the pee out of any toad he catches.
Not only is he ruthless, but he's also shameless, and his skills are frighteningly tough.
Among the younger generation of the entire Sanyin Temple, Zhang He simply did not believe that anyone could bully Bai Cang. It would be good enough if they were not bullied to the point of mental breakdown.
To be honest, in many ways, Zhang He could even see his own reflection in Bai Cang.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so lenient with Bai Cang, repeatedly increasing his investment.
Most importantly, Bai Cang is even more shameless, thick-skinned, and ruthless than him, and his martial arts talent is far superior to his own.
Every time Zhang He looked at Bai Cang, it was as if he were seeing a shameless, enhanced version of himself.
But while I admire it, borrowing money from it is absolutely out of the question.
With this in mind, Zhang He immediately stopped talking nonsense.
With a loud "bang," a sheet of rice paper covered in writing was slammed onto the table.
"This is a loan shark in Guobei County. They don't have a strong background, but they have a lot of cash. If you're so capable, go and borrow money from them."
Zhang He glanced at Bai Cang and said, "Let me reassure you: Three days ago, the Five Wrathful Master revealed his whereabouts at Shili Slope outside the city. He was caught up by the abbot and fought a fierce battle before finally escaping into the Northern Yin Mountains."
"I doubt they'll ever come back, and they've probably already escaped the territory of Yinshan County."
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang's eyes lit up, and he silently tucked the note into his sleeve.
Then, with a shy smile, she said to Zhang He, "Father, what are you saying? Loan sharks are dens of monsters that devour people without spitting out the bones. Can you bear to let me walk into their clutches like a lamb?"
Zhang He sneered repeatedly, "Did I ever teach you to repay borrowed money?"
"Don't you know who the sheep and who the tiger are?"
Bai Cang shook his head vigorously, "I am an innocent young man, Godfather, please don't corrupt me."
"How about you borrow money from loan sharks and then lend it to me? I'll pay double the interest, guaranteeing you a huge profit without any investment, godfather."
Upon hearing this, Zhang He laughed in anger, "Damn it, you think we'd be interested in such a small amount of money? Isn't that shameful enough?"
If I were interested, would you even have a chance?
Zhang He didn't say it aloud, but the meaning was already quite clear.
"Yes, what is this little bit of money to Godfather?"
Bai Cang slapped his thigh, "Can you lend me some more change? I swear by the moat: this is absolutely the last time, I promise I'll never bother you again!"
Zhang He scoffed at Bai Cang's beggar's version of the "Oath of Luoshui," not believing a single punctuation mark.
However, after Bai Cang relentlessly pleaded and begged, he finally pulled out a silver note with a value of one thousand taels.
Two days later, Bai Cang walked out of the hermitage, looking refreshed.
With Zhang He's "generous sponsorship," he has accumulated another twenty-six strands of true qi in the past two days, bringing his total true qi to 321 strands.
The eighth meridian: the 11 acupoints on the left and right sides of the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin have been largely opened up. Only the Yuji and Shaoshang acupoints are left to complete the practice and officially enter the "late stage of the second tier".
However, when Bai Cang returned to the servants' quarters with practiced ease, he couldn't find Zhang He anywhere.
When he grabbed a passing servant and asked him a question, he received news that was like a bolt from the blue.
"What? My godfather is away on a business trip?"
Bai Cang's face was full of disbelief: Is it really that serious! It's just borrowing some money from you! Why make such a fuss?
Isn't it only natural that the father earns money and the son spends it?
Who told us to be an unrelated father and son?
Did anyone force you to adopt a godson? Weren't you quite proud of yourself when the Innate Skin was Peeled?
How come you've become so cowardly after only two days apart?
Am I really a genius? With my innate skin-peeling physique, am I still just a one-in-a-million prodigy who lives off his parents?
"Well, to Senior Brother Bai: The steward instructed you that he has already poisoned the courtyard and that you must not rummage through his belongings. He guarantees that he will not leave you a single copper coin."
The young servant spoke cautiously, his timid gaze towards Bai Cang revealing a deep sense of awe and envy, along with a hint of unspoken fear.
What Bai Cang didn't know was that he had already become a legendary figure in the Sanyin Temple, especially in the servants' quarters, and was known as the "Sage of the Ditch".
Since the establishment of the Sanyin Temple, no one has ever sold their goods with such brazenness, openness, and confidence.
In fact, many people are now saying that he has a special constitution, and he is known as "the male Daji of the Three Yin Temple" and "the number one juicer in Guobei County".
Didn't you see that even a hero like "Eight-Armed Asura" Steward Zhang was so frightened that he retreated three steps?
Even a powerful expert like Pharmacist Sun has remained reclusive ever since he met the other party.
I guess he's been so overworked that he's become too weak to stand in the wind.
"That's right, if the monk can escape, can the temple escape too?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang's eyes lit up. Ignoring the obstruction of the servants, he barged directly into Zhang He's courtyard.
