Chapter 235: Taking money to do things is perfectly reasonable!
"Since it is Dr. Xue who has extended such a kind invitation, I, Shan, will certainly be there!"
Since Shan Tianxie had already decided to make a trip to the Song Dynasty,
He agreed readily at that moment, without any hesitation.
Such a good thing, as long as the IQ is at a normal level, no one should turn it down!
They give you true energy, martial arts skills, and even beautiful women.
This way, we can directly establish a new and unified business in the Song Dynasty.
Seeing his decisiveness, Xue Muhua couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh:
"Very well! Young Master Shan is indeed a man of few words. I, Xue, will certainly be at Leigu Mountain to welcome Young Master Shan's arrival!"
As he spoke, he took out a gilded invitation from his sleeve; the ink on the jade-paper scroll still carried the scent of pine resin.
"Next year on the day of the Awakening of Insects, I will brew tea atop Leigu Mountain and await you."
Xue Muhua was unaware that Shan Tianxie had already considered many things in that short time.
I just felt that this person was easy to get along with; not only was he highly skilled in martial arts, but he was also exceptionally handsome.
His speech and actions are decisive and efficient, which makes him very likable.
Now that the matter has been settled, it is only natural to hand over the invitation to the other party.
Besides wishing Hua Ruling a happy birthday, he also came with the intention of recruiting more qualified experts to participate in the Zhenlong Chess Game.
The Free and Unfettered Sect doesn't have as many rules as other sects; they simply judge people by their looks.
As for other qualities and aptitudes, none of them matter; the more handsome a person is, the better.
"correct."
Xue Muhua seemed to suddenly remember something important, turned to look at Hua Ruling, smiled, and asked gently,
"During this visit, I, Xue, would also like to invite Young Master Hua of Hua Man Lou to participate in the Zhenlong Chess Game on the ninth day of the third month next year. I wonder what Young Master Hua thinks?"
In Xue Muhua's view, although Hua Manlou was blind.
However, his appearance and temperament perfectly matched the selection criteria of the Free and Unfettered Sect.
Moreover, he and Hua Ruling were close friends, and now that he had such a rare opportunity, he naturally wouldn't forget his friend's son.
Sometimes, the world of martial arts isn't just about martial arts skills, but also about interpersonal relationships and social skills.
Not only that, if he runs into Lu Xiaofeng later, he should also invite those four eyebrows along with him.
Although Lu Xiaofeng is not a dashing and romantic young man, his reputation as a womanizer should be to the patriarch's liking.
"Well..."
Hua Ruling lowered her head slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "I will tell Qi Tong to go on time."
Hua Ruling had known Xue Muhua for quite some time, and seeing Xue Muhua's large-scale invitation to renowned figures in the martial arts world...
Presumably, his master intended to take him as a disciple, although Xue Muhua's master's school was not well-known.
But since they were able to train a divine doctor like Xue Muhua, who knows, he might be able to help Qi Tong find a way to cure his eyes.
"okay."
Xue Muhua nodded slightly and took out the gilded invitation card from his sleeve again.
"Then please give the invitation to Young Master Hua."
........
After the birthday banquet, Hua Ruling dismissed everyone and invited Shan Tianxie to her room alone.
"Master Hua, what's going on? Is it time to pay the bill?"
Seeing Hua Ruling's mysterious demeanor, Shan Tianxie didn't mince words and went straight to the point.
In his opinion, what else could they be doing all this mysteriously besides settling the bill?
After all, the execution of a queen is a highly confidential and ruthless matter that is not suitable to be discussed in public.
Hua Ruling was slightly taken aback upon hearing this; that wasn't what he wanted to talk about!
However, seeing the intense gaze that Shan Tianxie was giving him, he was quite perceptive.
He very consciously took out a stack of silver notes from his pocket and handed them over.
Dan Tianxie reached out and took the silver note. With just a light scan, he realized that it was 100,000 taels more than they had agreed upon.
In an instant, a smile that was hard to hide flashed in his eyes, and his gaze toward Hua Ruling softened considerably.
We hope there are more clients like this in the industry!
Seeing this, Hua Ruling felt it would be better to be direct, so he spoke softly.
"Young Master Shan, thanks to you for eliminating the great threat that is Princess Hanhai today, the entire Hua family is extremely grateful."
"But there is one more thing I would like to ask for your help with, young master."
At this point, Hua Ruling paused slightly, then said in a deep voice.
"I wonder if Young Master Shan would be interested in taking on another business deal?"
Ok?
Business?
These are the real big customers!
Businesses kept coming in one after another...
Thinking of this, Shan Tianxie cupped his hands slightly and said, "Senior Hua, please speak freely. As long as the money is right, I will not refuse."
Upon hearing this, Hua Ruling showed a relieved expression, then slowly walked to the corner of the room and took out an exquisite brocade box.
Then the brocade box was opened, and for a moment, a faint light seemed to flicker inside the room.
Inside the box was the Jade Buddha of the Vast Ocean, which the Iron-Shoes Thief had been dreaming of!
Dan Tianxie stared intently and saw that the jade Buddha was entirely flawless and emerald green, as if it had been carved from a single piece of warm and lustrous jade.
Its craftsmanship is exquisite, with every detail handled with great care.
As expected of the supreme treasure of the Han Hai Kingdom, comparable to the Imperial Seal, just by looking at its appearance, one can tell that it is a priceless item.
"Huh? Senior Hua, what do you mean by this?"
Dan Tianxie was somewhat puzzled, wondering what Hua Ruling was up to.
Why did they suddenly bring out the Jade Buddha of the Vast Ocean? Aren't they afraid of killing someone to steal the treasure? They're too audacious!
“Young Master Shan, the business deal I’m talking about is related to this Jade Buddha of the Vast Ocean.”
Hua Ruling gently stroked the jade Buddha, a hint of reminiscence in her eyes.
"Back then, I promised the King of Hanhai Kingdom that I would help keep this Hanhai Jade Buddha safe for fifteen years."
Now that the deadline has passed, it's time to return it to its rightful owner.
He paused slightly, looked up at Shan Tianxie who was still completely bewildered, and continued to explain.
“I’ve been thinking about this a lot these days. Since the Iron-Shoe Bandit is willing to risk returning to the martial world, the power struggle within the Han Hai Kingdom must have reached a fever pitch.”
"Now that the deadline has arrived, the old king has yet to send anyone to retrieve the jade Buddha. I'm afraid he's already exhausted."
"Therefore, I was thinking, could I ask Young Master Shan to escort this item to the Han Hai Kingdom and return it to the old king in person?"
"All expenses on the road will be covered by the Hua family. In addition, I will offer 100,000 taels of silver as payment for this place. How about that?"
After speaking, Hua Ruling stared intently at Shan Tianxie, wanting to see his reaction.
"Why me? And not Lu Xiaofeng?"
Dan Tianxie raised an eyebrow and voiced his doubts.
Hua Ruling sighed softly upon hearing this; his first choice had indeed been Lu Xiaofeng.
Not only did he know Lu Xiaofeng inside and out, but he also had a wealth of experience in the martial arts world.
He felt most at ease knowing that the jade Buddha was being escorted by him.
However, after Lu Xiaofeng learned of Madam Zhu Ting's whereabouts,
He rushed off to rescue the person, not knowing when he would be able to return.
Therefore, he had no choice but to settle for second best and select Shan Tianxie.
The reason is quite simple, as can be seen from the incident involving Princess Hanhai.
Although the reputation of Bliss Valley is so-so, they are honest about doing things for money!
