Chapter 41 Driven to a Dead End
inside the room.
Qin Jiu looked excited.
However, although the information conveyed by his talent was indeed true, just to be on the safe side, he still asked Qin Xuanzhou to go to the Four Seasons Pharmacy the next day and buy some potent poisons to test them one by one.
Only then could I calm down.
"Patriarch, Ruan Chen of the Divine Fist Sect requests an audience."
"Ruan Chen?"
Hearing the voice from outside the door, Qin Jiu frowned slightly. The other party had just retrieved the secret formula yesterday, and now they were here again so early this morning.
He paused for a moment.
Put away the bottles and jars on the table.
Then they went to the reception room.
Qin Jiu didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the point, asking, "Senior Brother Ruan, is there a problem with the secret recipe?"
"Junior Brother Qin is truly a prophet."
A strange light flashed in Ruan Chen's eyes, and he sighed softly, "After I took the secret recipe and the silver notes back last night, I realized that I had remembered it wrong. What Deacon Baili said was that, apart from the secret recipe, it would take 30,000 taels of silver to be sure that you could become a core disciple of the sect."
"Thirty thousand taels..."
Qin Jiu remained calm.
He thought to himself that the two people yesterday were clearly satisfied.
Why did they change their minds overnight?
It can't be that Baili Ce also wants a share of the pie.
"Senior Brother Ruan, this is no small sum. The Qin family will need some time to come up with it. Please go back and inform Steward Baili. I will send it to him as soon as I have raised the money."
"Send it over, no need..."
Ruan Chen was taken aback and was about to make up another excuse, but when he saw the smile on Qin Jiu's face, his heart skipped a beat.
He forced a smile and said, "I wonder how much time you'll need, Junior Brother?"
"You should know that we're leaving soon."
"Moreover, Deacon Baili is not very patient."
"A day or two."
Qin Jiu said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Chen immediately turned and left.
"Xuanzhou, go to the accounting office and get some Rejuvenation Pills, and also send over the Spirit Warming Pills that I had the manor purchase earlier."
"Yes."
Qin Xuanzhou cupped his hands in greeting, then hesitated before saying, "Patriarch, I don't think we can completely trust what this person says. Do you really still want to send the money out?"
Thirty thousand taels of silver.
Even for the Qin family, this is enough to cause them serious damage.
Moreover, if this 30,000 taels of silver isn't enough to satisfy those people's appetites, then who knows how much more silver will be needed later.
Therefore, he wanted to speak up and remind him.
Upon hearing this, Qin Jiu waved his hand and said, "I know what I'm doing. Go and get the medicine first."
After saying that sentence.
He then slowly closed his eyes, appearing as if he were dozing.
But Zhao You quietly launched his attack at that moment.
The two wisps of mist, originally pale gray, had now transformed into black light, illuminating the sky above the Qin residence.
......
Outside the Qin residence.
Song Wenruo saw Ruan Chen come out.
He hurried forward to greet them.
"Senior brother, how is it?"
"It's hard to say."
Ruan Chen turned back and took a deep look at the Qin residence, then said in a low voice, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
Then.
Two figures hurried along.
However, instead of heading towards the inn, they went straight to the Han family's house.
"My two senior brothers..."
Han Qingyue saw the two figures.
A hint of worry flashed in his eyes as he led the two into the living room.
"Who is this?"
As soon as Ruan Chen entered the living room, his gaze fell on a burly man who looked like an iron tower.
Han Qingyue smiled slightly and said, "This is my second uncle."
"Although my third grandfather left the Han family and took my third uncle, who was also at the third level of the Refinement Realm, my Han family still has my second uncle and fourth uncle to hold the fort. Both of my uncles are third-level martial artists, especially my second uncle, who is only a few days away from breaking through to the Inner Strength Realm."
"Qingyue plans to hand over the management of the Han family to her second uncle in the future."
"That way I can focus on practicing martial arts at the sect."
"What do you think, senior brother?"
"Junior sister is right."
Ruan Chen forced a smile. As he thought about his actions last night, a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.
Han Qingyue seemed oblivious.
After the two sat down.
She then asked, "What brings you two senior brothers here today?"
"The Qin family..."
Ruan Chen composed himself and sighed, "Qin Jiu isn't buying it. He's made up his mind that he'll personally deliver the money to Steward Baili after he raises it. In that case, I'm afraid what we've done will be exposed, and we'll definitely be punished."
"If it's too serious."
"It might even implicate the Han family."
"At least Qingyue's plan to take the Han family with her might be put on hold because of this."
"Set aside?"
Han Qingyue frowned.
She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Senior Brother Ruan, there's no need to rush."
"Wang Yue, the old steward of the Qin family, was summoned by the county magistrate along with my father and others to exorcise demons. Now that my father is dead and the fate of the others is unknown, it is likely that Wang Yue is not in much better shape. At least for the time being, the Qin family will not have any internal martial arts experts."
"That Qin Jiu is ignorant and incompetent."
"Previously, we expelled three third-level martial artists from our own collateral branch and sent them to the Demon Suppression Division. Now, the Qin family only has one third-level martial artist. So, I'll find an opportunity in the next few days to bring the Qin family matriarch over. My two senior brothers can use this as pressure."
"We can take all of the Qin family's wealth into our own hands."
"I hope Senior Brother Ruan and Senior Brother Song will not have any reservations. Since you've already started, go all the way to avoid any future troubles."
"..."
Ruan Chen and the other person exchanged a glance.
They all saw a look of astonishment in their eyes, as if they hadn't expected Han Qingyue to be so decisive.
"it is good."
Ruan Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Then the two of us will go back and make preparations first. If you succeed here, immediately send someone to inform the two of us."
He said.
A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
He then took Song Wenruo and left the Han family.
"Junior Brother Song, what do you think?"
Outside the Han residence.
Ruan Chen's expression was uncertain; he was deeply wary of Han Qingyue's decisiveness just now.
Upon hearing this, Song Wenruo sighed slightly.
"It is best to inform Steward Baili about this matter."
"Senior brother, don't be too obsessed with Han Qingyue. This woman is cunning and not someone you can control. If she uses your help to rise to the Divine Fist Sect, it will cause trouble for us in the future."
"I see."
Ruan Chen let out a long breath.
He immediately quickened his pace.
We returned to the inn.
He then recounted the recent events to Baili Ce in detail.
"You bastard!"
Upon hearing this, Baili Ce's face turned ashen.
He unleashed a surge of internal energy from his palm and fingers.
At this moment, he wished he could split the two of them in two.
"Our Divine Fist Sect has always acted with integrity and uprightness. How could we have raised two such wicked beasts like you?"
"Please calm down, sir."
Song Wenruo showed no fear on her face and said in a low voice, "You should know that the Qin family has nearly 200,000 taels of silver in assets. At this moment, the city is besieged by demons, and several large families in the inner city have already been wiped out. It is not surprising that the Qin family has been attacked by villains."
"Two hundred thousand taels, even if it's just a few of us splitting it up."
"Waiting to return to the sect."
"Not only can you break through to the Inner Strength realm, but with this wealth, the Grandmaster realm may no longer be just a mirage."
These words were spoken.
The room fell silent instantly.
Only a few gasps remained.
a long time.
Bai Li Ce remained expressionless and said, "My Divine Fist Sect is a reputable and righteous sect. Apart from you, no one else should know about this matter. The Han family should also be dealt with."
......
Qin Mansion.
Qin Jiu's eyes were dark as he stroked the long sword beside him and slowly exhaled.
Why...?
"I'm clearly willing to give more."
"But...why do you have to push me to the brink of despair...?"
