Chapter 87: If you fail to complete the mission, you'll have to go back and inherit the family business.
After Lian Qianli's explanation, Shangguan Jin and the others finally understood what was going on.
The Ruyi Alliance did indeed have a set of rules in the past.
Even if it's the leader's own son, he still has to complete a certain number of tasks before he can take over the leader's position.
When Lian Qianli heard about this request, he was overjoyed.
It just so happens that he doesn't want to be a killer leader, so this way he doesn't have to do missions.
So he spent his days practicing martial arts and such, but he didn't take on any missions.
When I'm bored, I go to teahouses and tea pavilions in different places.
He was interested in everything from the Zhang family's gossip to the Li family's gossip, and which family's wife hadn't washed the dishes.
But even the leader of the alliance, after being tricked by Hua Yue Niang once, saw his cunning increase dramatically.
When he discovered that his son did not want to take over Ruyi Alliance, he immediately set a new rule for his son.
Do you want to leave Ruyi Alliance?
No problem, you're free to come and go.
But before leaving Ruyi Alliance, shouldn't we settle the score?
Look at all these years, you've been eating, drinking, and wearing clothes from the alliance. That must have been a huge expense!
So you still need to do the tasks.
Consider it paying off these debts.
You can leave once you've completed 100 tasks.
The world is vast, go wherever you want.
Even the leader of the alliance thought it was very simple: it's just a task, and maybe he'll grow to like it as he does it!
Besides, even when your son is about to complete a hundred tasks, the last task assigned to him should be the one with the highest difficulty.
For example, assassinating the emperor of the Northern Barbarians...
This kid definitely won't be able to finish, so he'll have to stay obediently in the Ruyi Alliance!
Even the leader of the alliance felt that everything was under control.
Lian Qianli immediately thought, "That's a great idea!"
It's just a hundred tasks, right? Even if he takes on one every two days, he can roam the martial arts world in less than a year!
So, Lian Qianli happily went out to do the mission.
result......
Hehe, and that's how it turned out.
At that moment, Shangguan Jin also picked up a snack and started eating.
See, that's fate!
Others would fight tooth and nail for a position, but the leader of the alliance went to great lengths to ensure his son would inherit it.
"So, you're saying that if you don't complete your mission, you'll have to go back and inherit the family business?" Shangguan Jin asked with a smile.
Lian Qianli nodded; that was exactly what he meant.
"So now... never mind, forget I asked. If you were really an experienced assassin, you wouldn't have ended up like this," Shangguan Jin continued with a smile.
Dongmai nodded in agreement.
Judging from the current situation, it seems impossible for Lian Qianli to complete one hundred tasks.
"Actually, the task I took on was the simplest one."
My father said that the basic task is to retrieve some letters from the study of the Marquis of Wuding's residence.
If possible, killing Marquis Wuding would count as another mission.
"I was a bit greedy this time, trying to complete two tasks at once, which is why I failed," Lian Qianli said earnestly.
Shangguan Jin remained silent.
Forget it, with your attitude of wanting to hear a thing or two from everyone, there's no way you'll be able to complete the task!
"That's a bit difficult for you! You haven't completed a single one of the hundred tasks yet."
"This..." Shen Qingyue also felt it was very difficult.
Lian Qianli shook his head.
"Actually, it's not too bad. Of the hundred tasks my dad set, I've already completed five."
Of course, those tasks were done for me by someone else, not by myself.
Anyway, I've never completed a task independently.
"I even had someone else do this mission; it's all on my head anyway," Lian Qianli laughed.
"You...cheated?" Shen Qingjun immediately said.
"It can't be considered cheating! My father only said that people from the Ruyi Alliance were not allowed to help me, he didn't say that people outside the Ruyi Alliance were not allowed to help," Lian Qianli explained.
Everyone......
That makes sense.
"So you paid someone else to help you?" Shen Qingyue asked curiously.
Lian Qianli blushed slightly.
"I didn't spend any money, we're family."
My sister!
"Your sister! You're having your sister do the mission for you?" Shangguan Jin asked in surprise.
She was born half an hour after me, and not much younger than me.
"Besides, it's not like I'm helping her for nothing. I'll also help her open a teahouse. We're helping each other out," Lian Qianli hurriedly said.
Seeing that everyone was still looking at him in surprise, he felt he should take the initiative to explain.
Although he was sent to Ruyi Alliance by Huayueniang when he was a child, even the Alliance Leader was worried that Huayueniang would forget about this son.
Every year, someone is sent to escort Lian Qianli to Huayueniang's Wanhua Tower for two months.
There's no other way; my son is just as handsome as his father. I don't want him to get tricked by the girls at the brothel and get freebies again!
Seeing that the Alliance Leader was doing this, Hua Yueniang was not to be outdone.
She also sends her beloved daughter to Ruyimeng to stay for two months every year.
Of course, she also had her own ulterior motives.
My daughter has a wild personality and easily offends people. What if someone hires members of the Ruyi Alliance to come and take revenge?
So, we'll send our daughter over first so everyone can get to know her.
This is your boss's son, so keep your eyes open and don't end up taking on tasks that belong to your own people.
In this way, the brother and sister were able to see each other for four months every year.
Then we all got to know each other. Although we didn't share the same surname, we all knew that we were born of the same parents and should stick together for warmth.
Your sister's name is...
“Hua Wanli means ten thousand pear blossoms,” Lian Qianli added.
Everyone understood.
I originally thought the name was Hua Wanli! After all, Lian Qianli is one name, so Hua Wanli doesn't seem like a bad choice.
However, this difference between a thousand miles and ten thousand miles...
It seems the younger sister has the upper hand!
"So your sister is helping you with your mission now?" Shangguan Jin asked, even more curious.
In her mind, a dashing woman in red appeared.
Whip the horse and gallop freely across the land...
"Hmm, I reckon she's already stolen the letter and sent it north," Lian Qianli said.
"So what are you going to do down there? Go north to meet him?" Dongmai asked.
Lian Qianli shook his head.
"No, she'll come to the capital to meet me after she finishes her mission."
I'm going to help her open the teahouse her mother asked me to open in the capital.
"I've already rented the shop, and I'm just waiting for the effects of the medicine to wear off in the next couple of days so I can get started," Lian Qianli said.
"You've already rented a shop? Where is it located? How much did you pay?" Shangguan Jin had a sense of familiarity.
"It's the shop in your residence! The three-story building on Qianmen Street, with the street in front and the river in the back."
"I'll give you 1,800 taels of silver for rent. Don't think it's too little. Once the teahouse makes money, I'll raise the rent for you next year," Lian Qianli said hurriedly.
Shangguan Jin...
Sure enough, after all that, it turns out this kid rented his own shop!
