"With your intelligence gathering capabilities, have you ever thought about selling the intelligence you collect?"
After knowing that Longxue Villa relied on borrowing money from Feng Wuhen to maintain its operation, Di Jiu asked speechlessly.
"How could I not have thought about it? The villa is so poor, I can't even cheat..."
"Ahem."
After coughing awkwardly, Ling Xiao looked up at the sky with his eyes wandering, and said guiltily, "I even bribed the teachers and sold the exam questions. How could I not have thought about selling information?"
"In general, the problem is that we don't have top experts in our villa."
"Without top experts, our assassination capabilities are not guaranteed. Without guaranteed assassination capabilities, customers will not be able to trust us with assassination missions, which is why it is difficult for us to receive assassination missions every year."
"Without top experts, we can't afford to offend those powerful forces. Even if we obtain relevant intelligence from them, we dare not sell it casually."
"I dare not sell big intelligence, small intelligence is worthless, and selling intelligence is meaningless."
Ling Xiao tightly grasped the folding fan in his hand, with a strong sense of unwillingness and helplessness in his eyes.
The lofty ambitions he had when he first established Longxue Mountain Villa had already been on the verge of destruction due to the hardships he had endured in the past few years.
"So, your original purpose in borrowing money from Feng Wuhen was to leave a way out for Longxue Villa. Once Longxue Villa was completely unable to continue, you would sell the entire Longxue Villa to him."
Taking in the helplessness in Ling Xiao's eyes, Di Jiu spoke in a firm tone.
"right."
Ling Xiao nodded helplessly and said, "Longxue Villa is not just mine. I can leave no way out for myself, but I have to leave a way out for the other people in Longxue Villa."
"You've told me so much, are you trying to use my sympathy to get me to join your Dragon Snow Villa?"
Looking at Ling Xiao with a helpless look on his face, Di Jiu's mouth curled up slightly.
"ah?"
The unexpected question made Ling Xiao stunned for a moment.
After a moment, he said with tears in his eyes: "Big, big brother, you really know how to joke. How dare I take advantage of you, big brother?"
"If you want me to join Longxue Villa, it's not impossible."
Looking at Ling Xiao who was forcing out a few tears, the curve of Di Jiu's mouth rose again.
"Are you serious?"
As soon as Di Jiu finished speaking, Ling Xiao's breathing quickened and he asked impatiently.
At this moment, there was no reluctance or helplessness in his eyes, only a deep ambition.
"certainly."
Emperor Jiu nodded gently, raised a finger and said, "However, if you want me to join Longxue Villa, I have one condition."
"What conditions?"
Hearing the word "conditions", Ling Xiao was not surprised at all.
If a grandmaster joined his villa and did not put forward any conditions to him, he would feel that there was something fishy going on.
"The conditions are simple."
Looking at Ling Xiao's serious eyes, Di Jiu said to him word by word: "After I join Longxue Mountain Villa, the entire Longxue Mountain Villa will be centered around me."
"impossible!!!"
Looking at Di Jiu who calmly said that he was the master, Ling Xiao's eyes were full of shock.
He didn't expect that his goal was just to recruit a master, while the other party's goal was the entire Longxue Villa.
"call!"
Forcefully suppressing the anger that was about to erupt in his heart, Ling Xiao said to Di Jiu in a bad mood: "It is impossible for Longxue Villa to recognize you as their master. Instead of letting Longxue Villa recognize you as their master, I would rather let Longxue Villa completely surrender to the Feng family."
"Yeah?"
A sharp look flashed across his eyes, and Di Jiu instantly appeared in front of Ling Xiao, grabbed his neck and lifted him up.
"you……"
Looking at the figure so close, Ling Xiao's eyes were full of disbelief.
"I'll give you two options..."
"I...I...will...acknowledge...you...as Lord."
As soon as Emperor Jiu spoke of the two options, Ling Xiao couldn't wait to choose to surrender.
“…”
Emperor Jiu looked at Ling Xiao, who had quickly declared his loyalty, and a moment of hesitation appeared in his eyes: "Are you sure?"
"I'm…sure."
Feeling that breathing was becoming increasingly difficult, Ling Xiao couldn't wait to speak.
"You'd better not lie to me, otherwise, I will definitely destroy your Dragon Snow Villa."
Throwing Ling Xiao carelessly on the ground, Emperor Jiu said, "Don't even think about secretly joining the Feng family and using them to deal with me. To be honest, if you want to use them to deal with me, you'll only end up dragging the Feng family down with you."
As soon as Emperor Jiu finished speaking, a powerful soul pressure suddenly pressed down on Ling Xiao.
“Respected…Respected…Respected Realm?!!”
Feeling the trembling coming from the depths of his soul, Ling Xiao was completely stunned.
What kind of terrifying existence did he provoke?
"Ling Xiao, greetings to the Master of the Manor."
After learning that Emperor Jiu was at the Venerable Realm, Ling Xiao half-knelt on the ground and expressed his complete submission to Emperor Jiu.
"You don't need to call me Lord Manor Master. You will still be the master of Longxue Mountain Manor from now on."
Emperor Jiu raised his right hand slightly in the air, letting Ling Xiao stand up, and continued: "I will join Longxue Villa as a Grandmaster assassin and help Longxue Villa gain a foothold in the assassin world."
"What you need to do is spread the intelligence network of Longxue Villa. Don't limit yourself to Qixue City."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Although he had some doubts about Di Jiu's arrangement, Ling Xiao still respectfully chose to agree.
"I won't go to Longxue Villa."
Glancing at the respectful Ling Xiao, Emperor Jiu said rather dully, "When you return to Dragon Snow Villa, announce to the outside world that a Grandmaster assassin, extremely skilled in assassination, has joined the team."
"When you receive a Grandmaster assassin mission, you will come to Qixue City to find me and let me assassinate the target."
Having said that, Emperor Jiu paused and said, "Remember, you came here in person. I don't want other people in Longxue Villa to know my identity."
"Also, be casual when you come, so as not to make others suspect our relationship."
"Okay, boss."
Nodding very seriously, Ling Xiao decisively changed the address.
"Hahaha, this young man is teachable."
After taking a look at Ling Xiao who changed his tone instantly, Di Jiu nodded with satisfaction and chose to say goodbye and leave.
Before leaving, Di Jiu reached out and patted Ling Xiao on the shoulder, jokingly saying, "Brother Ling, relax a little and stop pretending to be so serious. I still prefer your shameless state before."
After saying this, Di Jiu laughed and disappeared from Ling Xiao's sight.
“…”
Staring blankly at the direction where Di Jiu disappeared, Ling Xiao was speechless for a long time.
If it is a blessing, there will be no disaster; if it is a disaster, there will be no escape.
I hope this master doesn't treat himself as a chess piece that can be discarded at any time.
