Chapter 68: Name Your Price
Seeing his cold attitude, Ye Minghui felt a little annoyed.
He was, after all, the eldest son of one of the eight great families. If Xie Qingui hadn't been a level five weapon refiner, he wouldn't have bothered to talk to him!
The two-winged dragon flew in the air for a full hour, and a lush green forest came into view. The air was filled with the faint fragrance of plants, and the air was very fresh.
Ye Fei took a deep breath. The abundant spiritual energy made her feel exceptionally refreshed, and a comfortable warmth emanated from the wood spirit root in her lower abdomen.
"Your Excellency Dongfang, Your Excellency Wuming, this is the Forest of Fireflies." Xie Qingui disembarked from the back of the two-winged dragon and introduced the place to the two men.
Ye Fei nodded: "Qin Gui, you should be very familiar with the Forest of Fireflies. Can you lead the way?"
Xie Qingui nodded with a smile: "I am also a mercenary. Besides frequently visiting the academy and Poyue Tower, the Forest of Fireflies is also the place I come to most often."
"I see, then I'll trouble you."
"No trouble at all, it's my pleasure."
Ye Fei turned around and looked at Ye Minghui and Ye Tong behind her, a smile playing on her lips: "Now that we have arrived at the Forest of Fireflies, let's part ways here."
Seeing that Ye Fei and the others were about to leave, Ye Minghui clenched his fists and strode forward to block their way: "Please wait a moment, you three!"
Xie Qingui frowned, displeased: "Young Master Ye, this is the second time you've blocked our way."
Ye Minghui pursed his lips, clasped his hands in a fist salute to the three of them, and lowered his noble head: "My brother and I know our strength is too low, and we humbly request that the three of you take us with you!"
"you……"
Ye Fei blocked Xie Qin Gui's path with her hand and said coldly, "Young Master Ye, is that right? Do you know what you're saying? If you travel with us, you have no choice but to hand over the Ice Crystal Fruit to us, and you won't get a single penny of payment. Are you sure you still want to do this?"
Ye Minghui gritted his teeth inwardly: "In front of the three of you, my brother and I are just low-level spirit masters. As for high-level missions... we naturally can't do them."
Ye Fei sneered: "It seems you've made your choice."
Ye Minghui's face lit up with joy: "Your Excellency means..."
"But I don't do business that loses money."
Ye Fei walked to a tree, leaned lazily against the trunk, and said in a cool voice, "What good would it do me to give you two siblings a ride?"
Ye Minghui understood what she meant and immediately took out a money pouch from his storage ring: "Sir, here are five hundred gold coins. What do you think?"
Ye Fei scoffed, "Young Master, five hundred gold coins to make us your brother and sister's bodyguards is probably beneath our dignity."
Ye Minghui was quite embarrassed: "Then, sir, would you like to name a price?"
Let her name her price? She'd love that!
Ye Fei raised five fingers: "Five thousand gold coins."
Ye Minghui's expression stiffened slightly, and Ye Tong rushed up, pointing at Ye Fei and cursing, "Five thousand gold coins?! Why don't you just rob me!"
Ye Fei said with a smile, "It seems that Miss Ye is quite dissatisfied with my asking price... Can a mere five thousand gold coins really stump two noble scions from the eight great families?"
"Brother! Let's find another force to protect us. This so-called Eastern guy is just trying to rip us off! Don't let him fool us!"
Ye Minghui angrily shouted, "Ye Tong! Shut up!"
Ye Tong was shocked: "Brother?!"
Ye Minghui quickly bowed and said, "My younger sister is young and doesn't understand things yet. She spoke rudely and offended you. I hope you will forgive her!"
