After Bai Yusu led everyone away, Ji Fengyao said to Bai Yusheng behind her, "This is your territory. Go find a suitable courtyard to buy yourself, is that alright?"
“No problem, Miss, I’ll go right away,” Bai Yusheng said, bowing with his hands behind his back.
Seeing that Ji Fengyao had agreed, he was about to leave.
Suddenly, a clear, indifferent voice came from outside the window: "Is Miss looking for a suitable courtyard to stay in Guyue City? I do have a few secluded courtyards and some people. I wonder what price Miss is willing to offer?"
Immediately afterwards, a figure flashed by the window.
A young man wearing a light yellow long gown entered the room.
"Qian Youying?" As the eldest son of the original Bai family, Bai Yusheng naturally recognized Qian Youying, who was also the eldest son of the Qian family.
"Do you recognize me?" Qian Youying did not recognize Bai Yusheng, who was wearing a human skin mask, but felt that his figure was very familiar.
“Miss, this is Qian Youying, the only son of Qian Manguan, the current head of the Qian family.” Bai Yusheng only nodded to Qian Youying and did not answer his question. Instead, she introduced his identity and background to Ji Fengyao.
Ji Fengyao raised an eyebrow and said, "The Bai family has allied themselves with the Zhou family, the He family with the Dongdan family, and the Qian family..."
"The Zhou and Dongdan families are just looking for free miners who will slap you a couple of times and then give you a treat. The Bai and He families may seem more powerful in Guyue City on the surface, but in reality, from the patriarchs to the collateral descendants, they are no different from dogs who have signed a contract to sell themselves into servitude." Qian Youying walked to sit opposite Ji Fengyao without being humble or arrogant, her expression indifferent: "We are all being lackeys, but it seems that the treatment you receive here, Miss, is much better than that of the Zhou and Dongdan families. Therefore, on behalf of the direct line of our Qian family, I would like to board Miss's ship. I wonder what price Miss can give me?"
"The direct descendants of the Qian family?" Ji Fengyao asked suspiciously. Wasn't the entire Qian family the one she was supposed to be seeking refuge with?
Does Qian Youying not actually represent the entire Qian family, but rather represent someone who wants to join them?
The price difference between an entire clan joining and someone joining on their own is enormous.
"Heh..." Qian Youying laughed self-deprecatingly, her cold appearance revealing a touch of beauty: "As the saying goes, even a rotten ship has three pounds of nails; my direct lineage is those three pounds of nails, and what Miss hit before was a piece of rotten wood in that rotten ship."
The young lady wanted that pile of useless, trouble-making rotten wood, but I didn't want to sell it.
The Qian family has been a burden for too long. I don't want to sell myself and still not be able to get rid of this mess.
The metaphor of a rotten ship, nails, and decaying wood is brilliant.
“You’re a wonderful person, I like you,” Ji Fengyao said, tapping her slender white fingers on the table. “Since you’ve brought your entire clan to join me, I won’t set a price for each person. Seeing that you have good aptitude, as long as you’re willing to stay by my side, I’ll cover all your cultivation resources and pills until you reach the Ascension stage. Also, as long as you follow me sincerely, I guarantee that any talented descendants in your clan will be able to earn enough cultivation resources until they reach the Great Completion stage.”
"Deal!" Qian Youying slammed his fist on the table, sealing the deal.
Not to mention that Ji Fengyao could guarantee the resources for their direct descendants to reach the Great Completion stage in their cultivation;
The fact that she could provide him with all the resources and elixirs needed to ascend to the Ascension stage was enough to make him decide to go for it.
He is currently at the late stage of Core Formation, and the resources required to cultivate to the Ascension stage would be astronomical for him!
