Ding Run replied, "I'm doing this for the long term. Although it seems like I'm making twice as much money as you, if I take on someone else's task and don't do the job, who will dare to hire me again? I'll lose even more money that way. So, naturally, I can't make this money from you."
Zuan sighed, "In today's society, there are very few assassins like you who have principles."
"Thanks for the compliment. I think you're quite pleasing to the eye. I'll give you a quick death later," Ding Run replied.
Zu An narrowed his eyes: "You just said you would interrogate me about the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra later, but it seems someone wants to kill me too?"
“I was just saying that casually. I don’t believe in any way to live forever. Money is more practical. Living a wonderful life within the limited time we have is the key,” Ding Run chuckled. “Since we’re getting along so well, I’ll give you a piece of information. There is indeed someone who wants to kill you, but doesn’t want me to show it. I don’t know why he has so many concerns.”
Upon hearing that someone had actually hired him to kill Zu'an, the Sang family father and son, as well as Zheng Dan, all changed their expressions slightly.
Only Zuan remained calm: "Since you're an assassin, can I entrust you with a mission?"
"You're going to commission me?" Ding Run was taken aback. "Everyone I'm about to kill either begs for mercy out of fear or cries their eyes out. It's rare to find someone like you who's still thinking about supporting my business. You're right, since I'm an assassin, as long as you can afford it, you can commission me."
“That’s good,” Zuan said. “How much do you usually charge to kill someone?”
Ding Run laughed: "There's no fixed price. The price varies drastically depending on the target's cultivation level and social status. Of course, it won't be cheap, since those worth my time are not easy to kill."
Zuan asked, "Then I ask you to kill the employer who commissioned you to kill me."
Ding Run's pupils shrank: "So that's what you were planning, kid. That won't do..."
“I’ll add more money,” Zaun said calmly. “I’ll pay double whatever that guy paid to kill me.”
"You're putting me in a difficult position..." Ding Run hesitated.
"Three times!" Zaun continued to increase the stakes without expression.
Ding Run's eyes lit up: "Great, deal!"
Sang Qian, standing to the side, was stunned. "This is actually possible?"
This guy is really quick-witted; I'd better try not to go against him in the future.
Sigh, I might not even survive today, let alone the future.
