Chapter 258
Rong Mian said, “Don’t worry, nothing will happen. Once you take it, I will send you out of the tower realm.”
Huang Quan raised an eyebrow at this.
Hearing Rong Mian’s words, the man felt reassured. He carefully took the cultivation technique and waited for Rong Mian to send him away.
After the man took the technique, Rong Mian lightly tapped his finger on the man’s forehead. The next moment, the man’s figure became faint and then vanished from the spot.
Seeing this, everyone else felt relieved.
As long as their requests weren’t excessive, they could take what they wanted and leave!
With this in mind, people started stepping forward one after another.
“Huang Quan.”
Feng Jiuyuan walked up from the platform below and stood beside Huang Quan. “I want to talk to you about something.”
Huang Quan looked at him. “What is it?”
“Regarding this matter, do you have any suggestions?” Feng Jiuyuan said, glancing at Rong Mian and then continuing in a serious tone, “I don’t trust what he’s saying.”
Rong Mian spread his hands, looking helpless. “I really didn’t lie.”
Feng Jiuyuan sneered, “Your word doesn’t count.” He then turned back to Huang Quan.
Huang Quan was surprised that he would ask for her opinion. “If I tell you, will you believe me?”
Feng Jiuyuan nodded. “If you say it, I’ll believe it.”
“You trust someone so easily, but that can lead to losses,” Huang Quan said. “Besides, we’ve only known each other for just over half a month.”
Feng Jiuyuan looked at her and said, “You’re right, we’ve only known each other for half a month. By logic, I shouldn’t trust you so much, but I choose to believe you.”
“You have no reason to deceive us.”
“You’re right, I have no reason to deceive you, but I also have no reason to tell you anything.”
Feng Jiuyuan responded, “Consider it a favor that I owe you.”
“Favors are hard to repay once owed. You’re uneasy, and so am I. Why don’t we make it more practical?”
Feng Jiuyuan asked, “What do you want?”
Huang Quan looked at him and rubbed her thumb and index finger together.
Seeing this, Feng Jiuyuan was stunned.
Was that… a gesture for money?
For a moment, Feng Jiuyuan doubted his eyes!
Why would she refuse a favor from the Young Master of Jiu Yuan City and ask for money instead?
Was she really that short on cash?
“My request is exactly that,” Huang Quan said. “If you agree, I’ll tell you; if not, then there’s nothing more to discuss.”
Feng Jiuyuan looked at her in disbelief. “Are you sure that’s your demand?”
Huang Quan nodded seriously. “Absolutely certain.”
It’s been nearly a month… Aside from betting on herself in the competition and winning some money, she hasn’t earned anything. She’s broke.
Who knows when her treasure might awaken? If she doesn’t start earning money now, what will she feed it when the time comes?
Feng Jiuyuan stared at Huang Quan for a long moment before finally nodding. “Alright.”
Huang Quan immediately asked, “How much will you give?”
Feng Jiuyuan wasn’t asking for himself but for the group from Jiu Yuan City.
He himself had entered as one of the top five in the academy competition, so no matter what, the High Priest was there for him. But the group from Jiu Yuan City didn’t have that, so Feng Jiuyuan came to Huang Quan, hoping she could provide some advice to help those people leave safely.
But in doing so, it was like negotiating for life-saving money with Huang Quan.
“Ten people, ten billion.”
Upon hearing this, Huang Quan instantly clutched her chest, her face full of pain.
Listen to that!
Everyone’s worth so much.
Why was she only worth ten million back then?
It really hurts.
Feng Jiuyuan didn’t know why Huang Quan was distressed. Seeing her pained expression, he thought she was unhappy with the amount and said, “If you’re not satisfied, I can add more.”
Chapter 259
“No need.”
Huang Quan said, “I’m very satisfied with this price.”
Feng Jiuyuan raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure?”
“If you’re not satisfied, you can say so. Jiu Yuan City might lack many things, but money isn’t one of them.”
Huang Quan believed him, but the amount was indeed enough.
“Come closer,” Huang Quan said.
Since this was advice someone paid for, it couldn’t be shared openly.
Feng Jiuyuan moved closer, and as soon as he did, he felt a gaze fall on him. He looked sharply in that direction but didn’t see anyone. However…
Feng Jiuyuan smirked and coldly laughed in his heart.
There were only so many people here; even if he didn’t see the person, he could guess who it was.
“Tell them,” Huang Quan whispered, in a voice only the two of them could hear, “that when Rong Mian asks what they want, they should say they only wish to leave the ruins.”
“Remember, *the ruins*.”
After saying this, Feng Jiuyuan was momentarily stunned but quickly realized what she meant.
Rong Mian had given them things and promised to send them out of the tower realm, but that was just out of the tower realm—not out of the ruins.
Rong Mian had previously mentioned that the ruins contained dangers beyond just the tower realm. If they were only sent out of the tower realm, they would still be inside the ruins. If they encountered other dangers, could they really leave safely?
“Thank you,” Feng Jiuyuan said before going to relay the message to his people.
Huang Quan waved her hand, seeing how anxious he was, and didn’t say more.
What’s there to thank? He paid for it.
The others, seeing Feng Jiuyuan speaking with Huang Quan and then going to relay instructions to the people of Jiu Yuan City, were curious and wanted to know what was said. But…
Would Feng Jiuyuan let them find out what he bought for ten billion?
Those people didn’t know what Feng Jiuyuan and the people of Jiu Yuan City discussed and could only wait, hoping to see what the people of Jiu Yuan City would ask from Rong Mian.
However, they wouldn’t get the chance to find out, because Feng Jiuyuan wouldn’t let them.
When Rong Mian called people up, the people of Jiu Yuan City didn’t go, so others had to. Some considered trying to wait it out with the people of Jiu Yuan City, but they couldn’t hold out because Rong Mian wouldn’t allow it.
Everyone made their requests, received what they wanted, and were then sent out of the tower realm by Rong Mian.
When it was the turn of the people from Jiu Yuan City, they followed Feng Jiuyuan’s instructions and made their request.
Without much fuss, Rong Mian granted their request and sent them out of the ruins.
After the people from Jiu Yuan City left, only the monks from Buddha City remained.
Under the orders of Fohsin, the monks from Buddha City didn’t ask for anything, merely requesting to leave the ruins.
Rong Mian sent those disciples away, and after doing so, he turned to Fohsin and asked, “What is your request?”
Fohsin responded coldly, “I am in no hurry, benefactor. Please attend to the others first.”
“There’s no one left here except for you and the people who came with Huang Quan,” Rong Mian said, looking at Fohsin. “Huang Quan is special to me, so naturally, I will pay extra attention to those who came with her. But you are not, so you must leave.”
Fohsin stared at him, his gaze deep as the night. “What if I refuse to leave?”
“Refuse? Do you wish to stay here forever?”
“If that’s what you want, I can make it happen.”
“Wait!”
Seeing that the two were about to fight, Huang Quan spoke up. “Fohsin isn’t in a hurry; ask the others first.”
They couldn’t fight…
If it was just a fight against Rong Mian, she wouldn’t stop it, but Rong Mian had taken over her brother’s body. No matter what, she couldn’t allow him to fight Fohsin!
End of chapter. Hope you enjoyed reading it!
