I don't know what the other party was thinking. These two people have been forgotten here for a year, and now they suddenly think of redeeming them.
Jinshan had previously tried to contact the Onmyoji on the other side, but they kept pushing him away, and he eventually gave up. However, he didn't intend to release the two people easily.
Even if he was reluctant, he couldn't possibly let a young girl like Hua Xiangyun do things for him.
He clearly forgot that he had previously ripped off Hua Xiangyun.
“Okay, I have some jade here, you can use it first.” Jinshan quickly took out a few pieces of the cut raw stone. “After this matter is settled, I will point you to a place where there are minerals. You can go treasure hunting there yourself. How much you find depends on your ability.”
If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it more grass. Jinshan has a lot of things to do and people are busy, so he doesn't have the energy to deal with these trivial matters. Hua Xiangyun can use these jade stones, so he'll do her a favor.
Hua Xiangyun accepted the jade with a smile. With so many jade stones here, she could set up a few formations that she had just researched recently.
She had deduced these formations based on ancient texts, and she was naturally delighted that someone had offered them to her for experimentation.
“Thank you, Grandmaster Uncle,” Hua Xiangyun said, not one to be ungrateful. “If I find a suitable one, I will make an array plate for you.”
Jinshan was somewhat surprised. "Looks pretty good. The student has surpassed the teacher and can even make array plates now."
They're only giving us the bare minimum information they need, which means they know how Kingsoft is doing right now.
Caobumaina endured it for a long time, and later the other party said that they would cover the expenses, but the amount I mentioned was only a few million, which was a joke at the expense of our children.
Ultimately, we still lack confidence. Since the family suffered a minor setback the year after next, which severely damaged our vitality, other families have seized the opportunity to divide up our resources and assets.
He has enough money in his hands, but do you mind if they use magical artifacts to offset it?
They definitely want to rescue us, so they shouldn't come out and cause trouble. If they anger those people now, the only ones who will truly suffer are the seven of us.
Everyone knows what kind of people were sent from the island, and the conditions they proposed were practically driving us to the brink of despair.
That family hasn't fallen yet, but they still lack their own foundation to tear another piece from under the other's back. My trip that time was in vain.
Everyone knows that nothing is risk-free. In our line of work, once you go out and engage in a battle, life and death are not a matter of fate.
"What did he mean by that? Don't forget we're on the same side now, we have to be united." Honmozo really knew why Kusabu Musa was so hesitant back then. We're all in that place, and those people from the other side's Xuan Realm are definitely not going to give us any face.
"If we agree on this, they should also give us a reasonable figure."
"Who would set out to demand the absolute best terms as soon as the deal is done? If the other party starts raising their price arbitrarily, we can't push them to the brink."
But clearly, Caobumai was buying my act. "Those words may sound harsh, but he should at least show me something concrete."
“The Benmao family was the mastermind behind that incident. If they were greedy and set up such a small scheme behind your back, you wouldn’t have had to make enemies with the Xuan Realm over there.” Caobu Mai only had a wisp of hair left on the front of his head, and he still forgot to straighten it.
That's how you fool people.
When you go down and ask, what did they say? They said that people go out to do missions, sometimes for a month, sometimes for years, and not hearing from them isn't necessarily bad news.
Yesterday they were talking about millions, but today they've turned their attention to us. Just as I suspected, the Benmao family is truly in dire straits.
“You’re talking about Caobumai, what he said is true,” Benmozang slammed his fist on the table and pointed at the other party, cursing, “You paid them, but Caobumai made that trip for nothing.”
It will definitely be in the future; whether Ben Maojing lives or dies, we will simply ignore it.
Jinshan is one of the most outstanding members of your Caobu family, and you almost got ripped off by them.
Those roughnecks know how to negotiate; all they need to do is play dirty and cooperate with you.
That's why they changed their tune today, saying each person should redeem their own share.
He had seen Uncle Wu make it before, and had even been fortunate enough to receive it as a gift from him, so he knew that it was very complicated to make.
Yesterday I only gave them a rough outline. Even if we asked them to pay some upfront, do you think the Benmao family would renege on their debt?
When Motozo heard what I said, his face flushed. Our family may be in a certain position now, but we are not the kind of people who can be so easily slandered.
"Ha, now they're making it sound so complicated," said Cao Bumai.
However, they knew that what they were looking down at was nearby, and the group was discussing things.
“Your Jingshan was implicated by them every time, so they should bear the losses. Besides, you still see Jingshan now, so you know that he was abused when he was young.”
I know what they're thinking. Two living people, and they actually think they can just offer a few million to get them back.
How could they say such things against their conscience?
He must have said something malicious, like, "We've definitely resolved everything now."
Cao Bumu and Ben Maojing now understand that the seven people behind them were just playing a trick on them.
If they were in different positions, do he think it would be possible? Would he refuse such a shameful request?
A year later, the people there hadn't contacted them again, so why did they notify your family?
They shouldn't follow the established rules; they should bear the consequences of their own actions. After all, you were only responsible for redeeming your own people that time.
"You just wanted to give it a try, but you didn't have any suitable jade stones under your command. Now that you've shown you the way, you're thinking of giving it a shot..." Hua Xiangyun was rather modest. You only dare to make such a promise after you've succeeded a few times.
Caobumai looked at me with a believer's expression, "Could it be that the Benmao family is so poor that they only have this little bit of wealth left?"
We've fallen from a first-rate family to an eighth-rate one, and we can barely even stay afloat.
“Young people shouldn’t try fewer things.” Amu agrees with that point, which is why my disciples only know how to cultivate behind closed doors. When it’s time to send them out for experience, I’m too soft-hearted.
Some people always dislike keeping their apprentices out of sight; how can the older generation possibly grow?
The situation is the same now. After the blows that the family suffered over the past year, several of the less capable members have perished. That's why they have to find a way to rescue Ben Maojing and are counting on you to make a contribution to the family.
Cao Bumai slammed his hand on the table and returned the message, saying, "They warned you early on that you are all trying to find a way to rescue them."
That's true. We're prisoners now, so how can we possibly control the pace of things?
