Wu Wei'an sighed softly: "I don't want to return it."
I really don't want to pay it back.
He doesn't want to pay it back even if he has money in the future. He wants to save money.
Ji Yunxi suddenly turned over, facing him, and asked calmly, "Sell it?"
Wu Wei'an: “?”
Ji Yunxi's eyes flickered slightly: "I will buy the power behind you. You name a price."
Wu Weian's breathing was slightly choked, and he looked at her who was half an arm's length away.
"Sell."
"But you have to buy me too."
Chapter 93 Wu Da's worth
Ji Yunxi was quiet for a moment: "What if I don't?"
Wu Wei'an's breathing stabilized immediately, and he said calmly, "Then let's not discuss this matter."
As soon as he finished speaking, he thought for a moment, worried that his words were too cold and inhumane, so he added, "I would rather throw away all the hard work I've put in over the years than sell it."
Ji Yunxi scoffed lightly: "Kaitai Manor sometimes receives some not-so-good goods, and few people buy them. Do you know how we deal with them?"
Wu Wei'an: "I don't want to know."
Ji Yunxi didn't care whether he wanted to know or not: "It will be auctioned together with the items that everyone is vying for."
Wu Wei'an: "Oh, but I'm fine."
Ji Yunxi laughed, with obvious contempt in her voice: "Really?"
In the hazy darkness, the woman's laughter was like a charm.
Wu Weian looked at the pair of eyes that were as bright as stars, lifted the quilt and sat up, took out a night pearl from the secret compartment and held it in front of Ji Yunxi.
When she went to bed at night, she removed her exquisite makeup during the day, revealing her cool and beautiful facial features.
Her eyebrows and eyes were like distant mountains, and her eyes were slightly curved at the corners. When she saw the light of the night-shining pearls, she subconsciously half-closed her eyes, and her eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings.
The nose has a soft curve like a drop of crystal clear water, and the lips below are angular and plump like red berries.
At this moment, she was slightly annoyed by the light of the night pearl: "What are you doing?"
Wu Weian pursed his lips: "Let me see how you smile."
Ji Yunxi: “?”
Wu Weian: "How did you laugh just now? Smile for me again."
Ji Yunxi was speechless for a moment, then reached out to snatch the night pearl from his hand, and almost blurted out "Are you sick?"
Wu Weian let her snatch it away, and after a while asked, "So, are you going to buy it or not?"
Ji Yunxi hesitated for a moment and asked, "How much do you want to sell it for?"
Wu Weian thought about it carefully.
The forces behind him are not small. Over the years, they have made plans from all sides, given him treasure bags, provided him with medical treatment, and given him martial arts instruction, and he has put a lot of effort into it.
But the amount of money owed is quite a lot.
Otherwise he wouldn't want to run away.
If you ask for too much, Ji Yunxi won’t buy it.
If you ask for less, his importance will not be highlighted.
Wu Weian lowered his eyes, and when Ji Yunxi was about to go to sleep, he said, "Fifty thousand taels of gold."
Ji Yunxi, who was about to lie down, paused and raised her eyebrows slightly without any expression.
The price he offered was much lower than what she had in mind.
Although, given their respective identities, if she wanted to use his power, he would still let her use it.
If he really asked her for money, she would take it.
However, it is best to keep things in your own hands.
Ji Yunxi was about to agree immediately, but Wu Weian observed her expression and quickly added, "Including me, one hundred thousand taels of gold."
Ji Yunxi: “???”
Ji Yunxi has seen many different kinds of people in her two lifetimes, but this is the first time she has seen someone as shameless as Wu Weian.
If he asked for 100,000 taels to buy his power, Ji Yunxi would agree without hesitation.
But this 5+5 approach always feels like a loss.
Ji Yunxi pursed her lips and remained silent for a while: "You are worth fifty thousand taels?"
Wu Weian nodded: "Of course it's worth it."
Ji Yunxi closed her eyes, took a deep breath, then opened them and asked quietly, "Reason?"
Wu Wei'an slowly and methodically pulled at his pajamas, straightening them out bit by bit. With a calm expression, he raised his eyes and chuckled, "In this world, no one can beat me in martial arts. The current emperor may agree to challenge me to a duel, but I have never considered fighting him myself."
Ji Yunxi was slightly surprised: "Your Majesty is also very good at martial arts?"
Wu Wei'an: "Yeah."
Ji Yunxi: "Have you fought with him?"
Wu Weian shook his head. "No, I guessed, but I don't think I'm wrong. The emperor hasn't taken action in over a decade, but he was active in the martial arts world back then. I heard from Old Qin that his skills were already quite good, and he's only gotten stronger over the years."
If the three guardians had not been very sure that he was indeed his father's child, Wu Weian would have suspected that the Palace Master of Xuanbing Palace had had an affair with the current emperor and then gave birth to him.
In some ways, Wu Weian could understand the emperor's approach very well.
For example, never take action if you can avoid it.
During these past decade or so, the emperor has been under the protection of the imperial guards and secret guards, so many people have forgotten that the young emperor was also quite skilled in martial arts.
If you rashly try to take the emperor's life, you will probably never come back.
Ji Yunxi said, "Ten thousand taels."
Wu Wei'an thought for a moment and said, "I'm not bad-headed. If you want, I can be the emperor. But I don't really like it. It's busy and tiring. But I have no problem protecting your family in the court."
Ji Yunxi hummed: "Thirty thousand taels."
Wu Weian raised his eyebrows: "That's only thirty thousand taels?"
Ji Yunxi calmly analyzed: "Now that the Fifth Prince is dead, His Majesty has lost most of his power. It is only a matter of time before the Crown Prince ascends the throne. As long as the Crown Prince ascends the throne, the Ji family will have no difficulty in ensuring safety for the rest of their lives."
Wu Weian couldn't believe it: "The Fifth Prince and His Majesty's power have nothing to do with me?"
Ji Yunxi said quietly, "I learned this from you, the old saying, 'I'll kill the donkey after it's done its work.'"
Wu Weian: “…”
Ji Yunxi: "So, eighty thousand taels."
Wu Weian's expression turned cold: "No, one hundred thousand, not a cent less."
