The Su family is indeed very wealthy.
For this one-time extermination ceremony, they booked out most of the prefectural city and built a new high-platform restaurant.
"How much silver will this cost?"
Although he always cared more about system rewards and didn't particularly pursue mundane things like silver, Lin Ce couldn't help but be surprised.
Not many.
Su Caiying said calmly, "Based on the current standards of the Sihai Escort Agency in Sanjiang County, we could probably build several hundred of them."
"..."
Lin Ce's face twitched slightly. "Wouldn't that be too wasteful?"
"For the Su family, the word 'waste' simply doesn't exist. For the sake of the Su family's reputation, let alone hundreds of Four Seas Escort Agencies, even thousands would be spared, and..."
Seeing Lin Ce like this, Su Caiying chuckled.
"Why do you think the Su family will suffer a loss in this way? The Su family will definitely earn back the money they spend, and may even earn more."
Lin Ce quickly understood what Su Caiying meant by "earning it back".
The inns and restaurants that the Su family had temporarily built and renovated were already overflowing with people.
It was only through Su Caiying's connections that the two of them were able to obtain a good position relatively close to the central platform.
Shortly after he sat down, he heard a sound beside him.
"I'll offer you a hundred taels of silver. You can give me this spot. I want to get closer and see what kind of tragic end awaits these four villains who have roamed the martial world for so many years."
"Who do you think you are? This is a first-class seat that I bought at a high price. If you want it, it will start at least at three hundred taels."
This situation is not an isolated case.
"How much would your Su family sell this location for?"
Lin Ce's heart stirred, and he asked this question.
"Not much, one seat is only 150 taels. There are even better seats over there, some selling for 500 taels, but I'm a little afraid of guys like the Four Evils, so I didn't dare to ask for seats that close by."
After glancing cautiously at the people around her, Su Caiying turned to the side and whispered in Lin Ce's ear.
Lin Ce nodded.
He had seen plenty of things like selling seat tickets in the world before he transmigrated, so he wasn't surprised.
It seems the Su family truly lives up to its reputation; even in an event aimed at preserving their own image, they have no intention of suffering any loss.
They've already made a portion of their profits just from selling seat tickets.
As for other ways to make money, Lin Ce believes there will be, but they are not what he needs to care about now.
As the announced date for the execution of evil drew closer, the surrounding area quickly filled with people; the platform, inside and out, was packed with people.
"Huh?"
Lin Ce's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously glanced at Su Caiying beside him.
Sure enough, the other party's eyes widened, and they stared blankly at the other side of the platform.
Her gaze fell upon a figure with a cool expression, calmly looking ahead.
It was Yang Xueqing, the newly appointed peak master of Biyue Peak whom I had met before.
Unexpectedly, the Su family even invited a grandmaster-level expert like her to this evil-slaying assembly.
Lin Ceze had heard some news about the relationship between that person and Su Caiying, who was standing next to him.
However, he was not one to meddle and did not intend to say anything more about it.
Su Caiying snapped out of her daze, realizing her behavior had been somewhat unusual, and quickly coughed lightly, saying softly:
"Look, there's a Grandmaster martial artist over there. It startled me. Do you think there might be other Grandmasters?"
"Maybe."
Lin Ce didn't intend to expose Su Caiying's attempt to cover up her actions; he simply went along with her words.
He was indeed somewhat shocked when Yang Xueqing appeared, and glanced in that direction a few more times.
I could vaguely sense that the auras of the group were quite different.
Perhaps those people really were grandmaster martial artists like Yang Xueqing.
Even if not, they are definitely extremely powerful, and the closest to that level.
Lin Ce had a good understanding of his own situation, and the one who could give him this feeling could not be too weak.
He's much better than the one I met before, who claimed to be a half-step grandmaster.
Finally, the moment arrived when the grand assembly to punish evil officially began.
"It was him?"
Lin Ce blinked, somewhat surprised.
I had just thought of making this offering when the other party showed up.
Judging from the situation, he was the one who presided over this meeting to punish evil.
"Didn't your Su family say you had many powerful martial artists to serve you? Why did you only send him to the stage?"
Puzzled, he turned to Su Caiying beside him and asked.
Su Caiying felt somewhat helpless.
"Although Xiang Gongfeng has all sorts of shortcomings, in terms of strength alone, he is among the top in the Su family's many Gongfeng. Except for those who are unwilling to show their faces at all, it is just right for him to do this kind of thing."
Is that so?
Lin Ce blinked, still finding it hard to accept the fact.
Su Caiying rolled her eyes at him.
"Chief镖头 Lin, don't be too modest. With your current strength, you're already quite formidable in the martial world. During my trip home, I overheard many of the elders discussing this. They believe that with your abilities, you'd be qualified to be a second-class elder in the Su family."
"Only second class?"
Lin Ce was somewhat dissatisfied.
"Don't underestimate the second-class. The offerings that have been made to the throne are only second-class. As for those first-class offerings, to be honest, I have never seen them. I can't say for sure whether they even exist."
"Forehead……"
Lin Ce felt a little guilty. "This kind of thing should be considered a family secret, right? Is it really okay to tell me this so casually?"
"What does it matter? You're practically one of us now."
Su Caiying smiled, "Although Qiangwei has always disliked you, she also said that during her absence, it would be best if I asked you for help. She felt that you, as Chief Escort Lin, were someone she could trust."
"Ah... I'm flattered, I don't deserve it."
Amidst the casual conversation, the Four Evils were brought out on the high platform.
A great uproar erupted in the surrounding area.
The four people presented on stage were all described as pitiful, and even the beggars on the street looked better than them.
It's hard to imagine that the Four Evils, who were once full of vigor and roamed the martial world for many years, have fallen to such a state.
And this was simply because they had offended the Su family.
The martial artists who had always thought the Su family was just a merchant family were now secretly shocked and had a new understanding of the Su family.
Just look at the person hosting on stage now, who claims to be one of the Su family's retainers, his strength is obviously extraordinary.
The martial artists present secretly compared themselves, and most of them gasped in astonishment.
They discovered that, in terms of their own abilities, they were far inferior to the one who had taken the stage.
How much power does the Su family secretly possess?
Moreover, the Su family was even able to invite a grandmaster martial artist to endorse them.
Looking at the aloof expression of the new peak master of Biyue Peak, many martial artists felt a chill run down their spines.
On the high platform, he gave a cold laugh and shouted:
"Evil Hero, Master of Hell, Thousand-Faced Impermanence, Poisonous Little Devil, did you ever imagine you would meet such an end?"
