Chapter 9: Yue Buqun: Lin Pingzhi's Family Assets? Hand Them Over!

Seeing Lin Pingzhi still dazed within the great hall below, Yue Buqun could not help but call out softly.

At a juncture like this, it was time to make money; how could he be distracted!

"Oh, yes, Master!"

Reminded by Yue Buqun, at this moment, a light once again shone in Lin Pingzhi's eyes.

He had not expected that Yue Buqun's strength would be so deeply hidden.

With just a single move, he had nearly killed Yu Canghai in an instant.

Thinking that he would soon be able to avenge his parents and the destruction of his sect, Lin Pingzhi became excited.

"Reporting to Master, my father's escort agency assets are approximately one hundred thousand taels!"

Although Lin Pingzhi was not entirely clear on how much his family assets amounted to.

He remembered that his family's escort agency, in order to maintain a good relationship with the Green City Sect, used to offer ten thousand taels of silver to the Green City Sect every year.

Calculating it this way, there certainly had to be one hundred thousand taels of silver!

But as soon as Lin Pingzhi finished speaking, Yu Canghai, sitting in the seat of honor above, spat out blood.

This little brat was actually reporting false numbers.

Where had he ever obtained one hundred thousand taels of silver from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency!

This was slander, naked slander!

Yu Canghai was just about to open his mouth to refute, but his gaze involuntarily looked first at Yue Buqun sitting below him.

He saw that Yue Buqun on the other side also had a clearly displeased expression at this moment.

Seeing this scene, the words Yu Canghai wanted to say were immediately swallowed back.

Thinking of Yue Buqun's reputation as the Gentleman Sword in the Wulin, Yu Canghai felt that Yue Buqun must also be unhappy because his disciple was reporting false prices and slandering him recklessly.

Involuntarily, Yu Canghai breathed a sigh of relief, waiting for Yue Buqun to uphold justice.

Little did he know, Yue Buqun, sitting below at this moment, was actually thinking about something else.

After the exhaustion of the journey and the hard work of traveling all the way here, there was only one hundred thousand taels of silver?

One had to know, for him to eat a single meal of egg fried rice, a marinated egg, and plain boiled water required sixteen taels of gold, or one hundred and sixty taels of silver.

A mere one hundred thousand taels of silver was clearly not enough!

If the immortal were to release any new products later, wouldn't he potentially be unable to afford them!

Thinking of this, Yue Buqun's gaze could not help but size up Lin Pingzhi!

"Disciple, do not worry about the dignity of Sect Master Yu. This is a matter for the Huashan Sect. Speak boldly about the family assets; your Master is here to back you up!"

Tapping the tabletop lightly, Yue Buqun looked at the kneeling Lin Pingzhi with a meaningful gaze.

The latter was completely bewildered by Yue Buqun's abrupt words at this moment.

He looked up at Yue Buqun, his pair of watery eyes filled with ignorance and confusion!

Lin Pingzhi: Master, my family assets are only this much, what else do you want me to say!

Yue Buqun: No, no, no, your family assets are definitely more than this, speak boldly!

Lin Pingzhi: But Master, these are my family assets, don't I know them best?

Yue Buqun: That's right, I understand your assets better than you do!

Understanding the hidden meaning in Yue Buqun's eyes, in an instant, Lin Pingzhi cursed inwardly.

Hypocritical, how damn hypocritical!

At this moment, Lin Pingzhi, this simple youth, finally understood the dangers of the Wulin his parents had warned him about.

This Yue Buqun was actually known as the famous Gentleman Sword, yet he was such a hypocritical person!

"Oh, Master, I think I remembered wrong, it is fifteen... no, it is two hundred thousand taels!"

Carefully watching Yue Buqun's expression, having originally planned to report one hundred and fifty thousand taels, but seeing Yue Buqun frown, Lin Pingzhi instantly doubled it and reported two hundred thousand taels of silver!

In his heart, Lin Pingzhi was speechless.

Master, you really have no shame at all!

Inside the great hall, there was a moment of silence.

And Yu Canghai, on the seat of honor, looked at Yue Buqun with eyes full of fury!

In his heart, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood and died on the spot.

What a fine, humble Gentleman Sword, Yue Buqun!

Usually, you act as if you view wealth as dirt!

I never expected you to be even more ruthless than he, Yu Canghai!

This is not coming to ask for family assets; this is clearly coming to fleece the rich!

He, Yu Canghai, fought and killed; whether it was destroying sects or robbing, he had to bear the risks, shedding blood and tears.

When it comes to Yue Buqun, this is a business with no capital investment!

Also, don't think he couldn't understand the look you two just exchanged; he, Yu Canghai, is not stupid!

Shame on me for believing your Gentleman Sword nonsense earlier, thinking you were unhappy because your disciple was slandering me.

It turns out you were unhappy because your disciple reported too little!

"Sigh, my disciple is too kind-hearted!"

Hearing Lin Pingzhi double the family assets, Yue Buqun was secretly delighted, but he sighed with a slightly dejected expression on his face.

"Sect Master Yu, what do you think about this matter of two hundred thousand taels of silver?"

As the words fell, Yue Buqun toyed with his teacup and looked at Yu Canghai on the seat of honor.

Yue Buqun, you old bastard, you are going too far!

In his heart, Yu Canghai was already cursing up a storm!

Too kind-hearted? Kind-hearted my foot!

Do you have any idea how this two hundred thousand taels of silver came about?

You are trying to be a whore and still want to set up a memorial archway to your chastity!

At this moment, Yu Canghai looked at Lin Pingzhi, and his attitude toward the latter actually improved.

Although this kid reported an extra hundred thousand taels, at least he was honest!

And what kind of thing is Yue Buqun!

Bah, I, Yu Canghai, am ashamed to be associated with you!

Cursing wildly in his heart, Yu Canghai still squeezed out a smile on his face.

The situation is stronger than the person; the current Yue Buqun could destroy him at any time.

Wealth is an external possession; Yu Canghai clearly had made a decision!

"Cough, cough, Sect Master Yue, two hundred thousand taels is ultimately too large a sum. I can only gather one hundred thousand taels of silver for the moment. Could you allow me three months for the remaining one hundred thousand taels!"

Yu Canghai coughed lightly; even though he was one hundred percent unwilling, Yu Canghai did not dare to fight Yue Buqun now.

The latter's strength was such that he feared he would be wiped out with a casual wave.

If this were before, Yu Canghai naturally would not have had such thoughts.

After all, the Huashan Sect was a famous righteous sect, and Yue Buqun was the famous Gentleman Sword of the Wulin; how could he do such things as destroying a sect.

But now, even if the Tathagata Buddha told him Yue Buqun was a good person, he wouldn't believe it!

This is a Gentleman Sword? This is a good person?

If people like Yue Buqun are good people, then wouldn't he, Yu Canghai, be a saint!

"Since Sect Master Yu has said so, as fellow members of the righteous path, I naturally will not make things difficult!"

Seeing that he could get one hundred thousand taels of silver today, Yue Buqun couldn't help but smile. Seeing Yu Canghai being so sensible, he didn't want to kill him either.

"As for the remaining money, I must trouble Sect Master Yu to send it to the Huashan Sect as soon as possible!"

Saying this to Yu Canghai above, Yue Buqun felt quite pleased.

After a hard trip, he had earned two hundred thousand taels of silver, enough for him to squander for a while.

What, you say this is Lin Pingzhi's family assets?

Just kidding, isn't everything of Lin Pingzhi's actually Yue Buqun's?
