Nie Xiaochun said, "The client has sent a letter asking you to find someone named Chang Jiuzhen and deliver him to the designated location."

The client? Delivering someone?

It must be a message from the founder, telling me to take the Earth Soul back to the Underworld.

What I didn't expect was that Sun Qing would speak up at this moment: "Chang Jiuzhen? Isn't that the old gentleman who said my tattoo was unusual?"

I turned sharply to Sun Qing, "Are you sure?"

"Positive!" Sun Qing nodded repeatedly. "That old gentleman even told me his name and said he wanted to visit my grandfather if he had the chance. Later, when he heard that my grandfather had passed away, he regretted it for a while."

I turned to Nie Xiaochun again, who said, "Chang Jiuzhen is a tattoo artist living in Wan City. He was supposed to return to his place on the ninth of last month, but no one knows where he's gone."

"That's all the information?" I watched Nie Xiaochun nod, then asked Sun Qing, "When did you look for Chang Jiuzhen?"

"The month before last," Sun Qing said, "It was when I first started school."

I looked up at Nie Xiaochun: "What's the client's offer?"

"This number!" Nie Xiaochun held up six fingers.

Six years, that's not a low price!

No, that's not right. There are three Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren on our side, so it only averages out to two years of life per person. So stingy!

I coughed and said, "Get ready, we're going to Wan City. This time, I'll just take Nie Xiaochun and Qin Xin. The others continue to recover."

"I'm not going!" Nie Xiaochun shook her head immediately. "I still have to be responsible for contacting business. Take Yun Shang!"

"Then I'll just take Qin Xin!" It's not reasonable for me to take Yun Shang either! Yun Shang isn't from Liangjie Tang (Two Realms Hall). What's it like for me to drag her along to risk her life?

Yun Shang lowered her head and didn't speak, but Ye Yang said with a stern face, "You haven't negotiated the price yet!"

"Wasn't the price already negotiated?" It wasn't until I said it that I realized Ye Yang was talking about the deal between me and Zhao Yuezhu.

Zhao Yuezhu passed the buck directly to Sun Qing, "I've introduced the person to you. You negotiate the price yourself."

Sun Qing rubbed his hands and said, "You also know that I don't have a penny in my hand right now. Brother Li here..."

Before Sun Qing could finish speaking, Zhao Yuezhu blushed. "Sun Qing, I brought you here to ask my friend for help, not to beg from my friend. This is life-threatening, why didn't you tell me you had no money earlier?"

Sun Qing's face also turned red: "Isn't this asking a friend for help? Since we're friends, what's wrong with owing the money first? Shouldn't friends be like this?"

Zhao Yuezhu's embarrassment deepened: "Li Po is my friend, not your friend. Why should he work for you for nothing? How close are you two?"

Sun Qing was so angry that his face turned red: "Then what did you bring me here for? To listen to me tell stories, or to watch me make a fool of myself?"

Sun Qing's attitude made me frown.

Jianghu (Martial world) people can indeed go through thick and thin for loyalty, but the premise is that they must have a life-or-death friendship between them.

Zhao Yuezhu brought Sun Qing here, which is actually like bringing a friend to buy something from an acquaintance.

Whether the merchant is a relative or friend of the middleman, at most they will give a discount for the sake of the middleman, and at best, they will charge the cost price. There is absolutely no reason to lose money and give it away for free.

Just like when Zhao Ci asked Feng Ruoxing to save Zhao Yuezhu, he also paid a high price. Feng Ruoxing didn't charge money because their friendship had reached that point. Not giving me and Ye Yang a commission is just cheating Feng Ruoxing.

Sun Qing may not understand the jianghu, but doesn't he understand the ways of the world?

If Sun Qing could speak human language, talk about his difficulties, or say a few words about jianghu righteousness, I wouldn't care about any commission.

He is being so righteous in asking me to do things. Why should I serve you?

Taking advantage of the quarrel between the two, I kicked the side of the table, forcing it to move half a foot away: "Surname Sun, listen to me clearly, I am Zhao girl's friend, but not your friend. I have no obligation to risk my life for you."

Sun Qing's face turned red: "Aren't you a warlock? How can warlocks stand idly by and watch people die?"

I was amused by the other party: "I tell you, this is Liangjie Tang, not a charity hall. I am a warlock, not a knight-errant. You are not my son, why should I help you for nothing?"

I pointed to the door: "Get out of here now, Liangjie Tang doesn't welcome you."

Sun Qing glared at me fiercely, looked at Zhao Yuezhu's face, turned around and walked out.

Zhao Yuezhu seemed to want to look at Sun Qing, but stopped when she saw my face.

Before Sun Qing reached the door, I reached out and slapped the Nine-Ring Life Severing Blade standing beside me.

The nine rings on the blade vibrated in the air with the sound of ghosts crying. Ye Yang suddenly moved his feet, caught the Life Severing Blade with one hand, and slashed at the open space between Zhao Yuezhu and Sun Qing.

Ye Yang's slash was not to cut off Sun Qing's luck, but to sever the cause and effect between Sun Qing and Zhao Yuezhu.

Zhao Yuezhu didn't understand what was going on. All she saw was me slapping the long knife away, and Ye Yang slashing angrily in the air. She thought that Sun Qing had angered me, and I was about to kill someone.

Zhao Yuezhu was so frightened that she rushed forward a few steps and shouted anxiously, "Stop it, you can't kill people!"
