"Aren't you afraid that I'll be doomed? As soon as I get out of here, I'll spread the news that the Heike clan has a spirit stone mine."
Qin Xingyu stared at Xiao Qingran angrily.
If he didn't want to die now, he would have thousands of ways to kill the girl in front of him.
As for the afterlife, who can say for sure?
"Oh, you haven't figured out your current situation yet. Your every move is under my control. If you ever try to do anything that's detrimental to me, I'll kill you before you even start. If you don't believe me, you can try it."
Later, as her mental strength improved, she could wipe out the people she had contracted with with just a thought from thousands of miles away.
But her level is not high enough yet. She can only scare Qin Xingyu first.
With her many years of experience as a superior, she could see that Qin Xingyu was definitely an ambitious but pleasure-seeking person who was afraid of death.
Even if he had a hundred courages, he would not dare to try it.
As expected, Qin Xingyu's expression changed drastically again. He finally lowered his noble head. Suddenly, he knelt on his knees and spoke with a pious expression: "Qin Xingyu, I meet the master."
Xiao Qingran raised her hand: "Get up! From now on, just call me boss. Since you are mine now, I will not treat you unfairly."
After Xiao Qingran finished speaking, she walked to Luo Jiuyan and whispered something to him.
Luo Jiuyan stood up and walked out.
When only Xiao Qingran and Qin Xingyu were left in the living room, Xiao Qingran pointed to the armchair opposite and motioned Qin Xingyu to sit down.
"I heard that the Sword Sect is very poor. Is that true?"
These were all told to her by Zhou Wu.
Zhou Wu also told her the secrets of some hidden sects in the ancient martial arts world.
"Yes, sir... boss."
Qin Xingyu nodded honestly.
"Since I'm your boss now, how can I just sit there and watch the Sword Sect continue to be poor? If I tell you, you won't feel ashamed, but I will feel embarrassed."
Seeing Qin Xingyu's ashamed look, Xiao Qingran shook her head unhappily: "As the leader of a sect, haven't you ever thought about letting your disciples develop some business? Do some trade or something?"
Qin Xingyu retorted: "Disciples of the Sword Sect have to practice swordsmanship every day, so how can they have time to do business? Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"
Xiao Qingran was speechless. He finally understood why the Sword Sect was so poor.
"Why don't you just step down and let someone else take over?"
Xiao Qingran always felt that perhaps if the Sword Sect changed its leader, the problem of poverty could be solved.
It is said that the poverty of the Sword Sect is known to everyone in the entire hidden sect.
Poverty is synonymous with the Sword Sect.
"Boss, what do you mean? Under my leadership, the Sword Sect, despite being a little poor, is ranked among the top ten in overall strength among all the hidden sects. If a new Sect Leader is in power, they may not have this ability."
Qin Xingyu glared at Xiao Qingran a little annoyed.
He had been in the Sword Sect for hundreds of years, and even if he had no merit, he had certainly worked hard. He was certain that even if he wanted to give up his position, no one would dare to take it.
"Forget it. It's pointless to talk to someone as conceited as you. How about this? I'll give you some funds, and you can become a shareholder of the Heike Clan. You can send some disciples down the mountain to serve as bodyguards for the Heike Clan on a rotating basis. The Heike Clan will pay dividends to the Sword Sect every month. If the Sword Sect has a disciple with a talent for business, you can send him to the Heike Clan and let him learn the ways of business there."
Qin Xingyu opened his mouth, wanting to object to what he considered an unrealistic approach. Instead of investing in the Ping family, it would be better to just give him the funds directly. But when he looked up and met Xiao Qingran's cold, half-smiling eyes, he immediately swallowed back his words.
"Since you agree, then do as I say."
At this time, Luo Jiuyan walked in, carrying a large wooden box in his hand.
He opened the box in front of Qin Xingyu.
The golden light almost blinded Qin Xingyu's eyes.
"Here are one hundred gold ingots, each worth twenty taels. I don't need to tell you their value, you already know it. Your boss is kind and not only didn't kill you, he also indirectly took care of your entire sect. I hope you won't do anything that harms your boss in the future."
Even though Qin Xingyu had seen a lot of the world, he couldn't help but feel excited when he suddenly saw so much gold.
Hearing Luo Jiuyan say that this was for him, I don't know why, tears suddenly welled up in my eyes and I couldn't help myself.
Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan were stunned by his crying.
The two looked at each other, somewhat confused about what was going on.
"Alright, alright, put the box away! Aren't you ashamed of being a grown man crying?"
Xiao Qingran pressed his brows together in a headache. He had never seen a man whose expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book.
"When you leave, I'll give you another box of silver. Take it back to the sect first. If it's not enough, come and see the head of the Heike clan."
Qin Xingyu quickly wiped the tears from his face and nodded repeatedly.
"From now on, you will be the leader of the Sword Sect. You can ask for anything you want. The Sword Sect will always have your back."
With the gold and silver, Qin Xingyu felt that his back was straightened a lot.
I originally thought that I had become a slave and would live in dire straits.
Unexpectedly, the fact is just the opposite.
This made Qin Xingyu feel a lot of emotion in his heart. If he had known that there would be such a good treatment, he would have come here without doing anything and would have just stuck his head out to let Xiao Qingran sign the contract.
He is now seriously injured and will have to spend so much money on treatment when he returns.
Qin Xingyu felt extremely distressed when he thought of the medicine needed to heal his wounds.
"Okay, I'll have the Heike family arrange a doctor for you. Once you're healed, go back! If anything happens, I'll have someone from the Heike family pass on a message to you."
Qin Xingyu couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He didn't expect that he could even save on medical expenses.
This owner seems to be very nice.
At noon, the Heike clan held a grand banquet.
Not only the head and ancestor of the Wang family were invited, but also the head and young master of the Jin family came.
With the Zhou family destroyed, all of their assets would naturally belong to the Heike family. But if he took all of them for himself, the other two families would definitely have grievances against the Heike family even if they didn't say anything on the surface.
The head of the Ping family invited the two families to come. In addition to telling the two major families that he only wanted half of the Zhou family's property and the other half would be divided equally between the two families, he also wanted to introduce his eldest son to the heads of the two families.
The head of the Ping family has made up his mind. He wants to take this opportunity to abdicate and let his eldest son become the head of the Ping family. He wants to take his wife and follow Xiao Qingran to visit the secular world.
Everyone was shocked by his sudden decision.
However, everyone can understand that since Pingshuang brought back many good things from the secular world, many people yearn for everything in the secular world.
It’s just that many people can’t let go of everything in the ancient martial arts world, and they are not as open-minded as the head of the Ping family.
When the young master of the Jin family was leaving, he met Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan who had returned from outside.
Seeing the two of them, the young master of the Jin family was stunned in surprise.
Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan also recognized Young Master Jin. Wasn't this the helmeted courier they had encountered in the horror mode of the game "Star Domain"?
