Chapter 113 Remuneration
"This is what happens to you." Zhong Nianyao looked at Ma Qin, who was still gasping for breath on the ground, with a cold look in her eyes. "You'd better watch your mouth from now on, or don't say anything anymore."
Ma Qin raised her head and looked at Zhong Nianyao, her eyes still filled with hatred. "You clearly have the ability, so why are you unwilling to help us? What is your relationship with this group of people? What makes you so dedicated?"
Although the words were not explicitly stated, everyone here was an adult and could naturally discern the meaning. Doesn't this mean that Zhong Nianyao has some improper relationship with this group of people?
Zhou Yifu and his group's expressions changed drastically, and their hands involuntarily clenched their weapons, looking as if they were ready to attack at any time.
Lu Yichen's dark pupils flickered. Unlike just now, they were filled with a chilling coldness, as if they were about to freeze. He looked at Ma Qin as if he were looking at a dead person.
Zhao Si and the others were as anxious as ants on a hot pan. If possible, they really wanted to immediately sever all ties with Ma Qin. Is Ma Qin stupid? They have seen Zhong Nianyao's abilities.
How could such a powerful person be so good at seducing others? Even if you want to talk nonsense, at least use your brain!
Now, Makino had truly offended someone, and his companions would undoubtedly be implicated. As expected, women really shouldn't be allowed to participate in things like visiting graves. Women were simply too emotional; once something happened, their emotions would completely shatter.
Zhong Nianyao, the person involved, didn't show any change in expression; she even smiled. After thinking for a moment, she spoke seriously, "If you want to know what my relationship with them is, it's more like an employment relationship, right? After all, the offer is so tempting, I can't refuse it!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
Uncle Li was very calm, as he knew what had happened.
Zhou Yifu and the others were a little surprised. They only realized that Zhong Nianyao was among the group when they set out. They were completely strangers to Zhong Nianyao.
However, they also saw the interaction between the master and Zhong Nianyao. They didn't seem like strangers at all, and even seemed to have a good relationship. Unexpectedly, the two of them had such a relationship.
However, Zhao Si and the others' eyes lit up after hearing Zhong Nian Yao's words.
Zhong Nianyao is so powerful, especially against these evil creatures. They will definitely encounter many such things in the future. If they have Zhong Nianyao's protection, then they will definitely be much smoother.
Since the other party can hire Zhong Nianyao, then they can too, right? Moreover, if possible, they also want to continue to maintain contact with Zhong Nianyao and continue to cooperate in the future.
After exchanging glances, they all reached a consensus. Of course, there was one more point: they wanted to kick Makin out of their team.
Thinking of this, Zhao Si, as a representative, stepped forward with a sincere look on his face, "Ms. Zhong, since you are in an employment relationship, can we also establish an employment relationship with you? We can also pay you a generous salary."
"Brother Zhao!"
Ma Qin's eyes widened, the shock in her eyes unable to be concealed. She had just been humiliated by Zhong Nianyao, and now her companions were actually going to cooperate with her. Wasn't it obvious that they didn't take her seriously?
"Shut up right there." Zhao Si looked at Ma Qin with a hidden viciousness in his eyes. "You'd better figure out your identity, or don't blame us for ignoring you later."
Perhaps frightened by the cruelty in Zhao Si's eyes, Ma Qin dared not say anything for a moment.
"Ms. Zhong," Zhao Si looked at Zhong Nianyao again, his tone sincere, "We are very sincere."
"Sincerity?" Zhong Nianyao looked at Zhao Si and smiled. "What kind of sincerity do you think you can show?"
"Haha, do you know what he paid me?" Zhong Nianyao pointed at Lu Yichen, "Why do you think you can offer me such a reward?"
"No matter what they offer, we are willing to give the same." Zhao Si said confidently, "As long as you name it, we can afford it."
The others had no objections. They had witnessed Zhong Nianyao's abilities and could naturally guess that the reward would be high. However, they were still confident. After all, they had gone to tombs many times over the years and had accumulated a lot of wealth. This reward was still affordable.
Zhong Nianyao smiled slightly and said, "The reward he gave was a tortoise shell—"
Hearing this, Zhao Si and the others were stunned for a moment, then felt more reassured. No matter what kind of tortoise shell it was, they would definitely be able to give something of the same value.
However, Zhong Nianyao's next words shattered all their fantasies.
"That's a tortoise shell from the Guiguzi school during the Warring States Period. It's over two thousand years old. It's a priceless treasure! If we really had to set a price, it would probably be worth over a billion on the market!"
When she said this, Zhong Nianyao's face showed a hint of teasing, "Are you sure you can afford such a reward?"
Zhao Si and others were dumbfounded. They had obviously never expected such a reward.
If they really had a treasure worth billions, they would have cashed it out and divided it up long ago. With so much money, they wouldn't need to go to the grave and would have been enjoying their lives comfortably.
"Okay, let's go!"
Lu Yichen's expression remained unchanged. He took a step forward and said calmly, "Keep going forward. The main tomb chamber should be not far from us."
After hearing Lu Yichen's instructions, Uncle Li and others immediately picked up their belongings and started moving forward.
Zhong Nianyao shrugged her shoulders, ignored Zhao Si and the others, took a few steps forward, and walked forward side by side with Lu Yichen.
Uncle Li didn't notice anything unusual.
Zhou Yifu and the others, however, felt something was a little strange about the interaction between Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it.
Zhao Si and the others who were left behind had barely managed to heal their wounds. Without taking any time to rest, Mahasang followed.
Although Zhong Nianyao had clearly stated that she would not protect them if something really happened, they would still be safer if they followed the others.
