Master Longbrow stopped in his tracks, waiting until everyone else had left before asking Ye Qiu, “Little brat, what’s the matter?”
Ye Qiu asked, “Why did you come alone this time, where’s Shuisheng?”
“Shuisheng is in seclusion,” Master Longbrow chuckled, “Little brat, let me tell you, Shuisheng is truly a born saint, he’s made great progress, next time you meet, he’ll definitely surprise you.”
“Is that so?” Ye Qiu was somewhat skeptical.
Master Longbrow snorted, “Don’t doubt it, when Shuisheng comes out of seclusion, watch out, I might have him give you a beating.”
“As long as he can beat me, he’s welcome anytime,” Ye Qiu said, pulling a bank card from his pocket and handing it to Master Longbrow.
Master Longbrow immediately became wary and asked, “What’s this? Offering me something for no reason, you’re either up to no good or trying to steal something. What do you want from me?”
Ye Qiu said, “Thanks for setting up the memorial hall for His Highness the Ninth these past few days, this money is your hard-earned reward.”
Master Longbrow’s guard lowered slightly, and he asked, “How much is in the card?”
“Ten million,” Ye Qiu said.
Master Longbrow’s eyes widened, “That much?”
“Want it or not? If not, I’ll take it back,” Ye Qiu made to retract his hand.
Master Longbrow quickly stepped forward, snatching the bank card from Ye Qiu’s hand, chuckling, “Why refuse free money? You’re a good kid after all.”
He hadn’t expected that helping set up the memorial hall would earn him ten million, truly…
Delightful!
Master Longbrow’s joy was evident.
Ye Qiu suddenly said, “Old man, give me two Sword Talismans.”
“What’s that?” Master Longbrow’s expression changed.
“I said, give me two Sword Talismans,” Ye Qiu repeated.
“None left,” Master Longbrow refused outright.
Seeing Master Longbrow reject so quickly, Ye Qiu was secretly pleased, as it only meant Master Longbrow still had Sword Talismans.
Ye Qiu said, “I won’t let you give them for free, one Sword Talisman for fifty million.”
Master Longbrow shook his head like a rattle, saying, “Sword Talismans are so precious, there were only two in total.”
“Last time in the Northern Territory, I impersonated Ye Wushuang and used one Sword Talisman to scare off the Dragon Lady, the remaining one I gave to you.”
“Not to mention fifty million, even if you gave me a hundred million now, there are no Sword Talismans left.”
Ye Qiu said, “Two hundred million!”
Master Longbrow’s eyes darted around, and with a pained expression, he said, “There really are no Sword Talismans left…”
“Three hundred million!”
Greed flickered in Master Longbrow’s eyes, he hesitated for a moment, then continued, “Really, none left…”
“Five hundred million!”
Ye Qiu called out an astronomical price, saying, “Give me one Sword Talisman, I’ll give you five hundred million. If you really don’t have any, then forget it…”
“Deal,” Master Longbrow interrupted Ye Qiu, saying, “I need to get the money first, then I’ll give you the Sword Talisman.”
“Fine,” Ye Qiu asked, “Do you have the Sword Talisman on you? If you do, I’ll transfer the money now.”
Master Longbrow glanced at Ye Qiu and said, “Kid, trying to trick me again?”
“Don’t think I don’t know, if I say I have the Sword Talisman on me, you won’t give me five hundred million, you’ll just beat me up and take the Sword Talisman.”
“Right?”
Ye Qiu shook his head, “I’m not that kind of person.”
“Hmph, I don’t believe you,” Master Longbrow snorted, saying, “I left the Sword Talisman at Dragon Tiger Mountain, when Shuisheng comes out of seclusion, I’ll have him bring the Sword Talisman to Jiangzhou to find you.”
Ye Qiu asked, “How many Sword Talismans do you have left?”
Master Longbrow glanced at Ye Qiu and said, “Not many, just about ten or so.”
Damn, that many?
Ye Qiu immediately said, “Here’s the deal, two hundred million per Sword Talisman, sell me all your Sword Talismans.”
Master Longbrow said discontentedly, “Little brat, you just said five hundred million.”
Ye Qiu said, “You have so many Sword Talismans, they’re useless to you, why not sell them to me? Think about it, ten Sword Talismans would get you two billion, with that money, you can eat well, drink well, and even chase foreign beauties.”
Foreign beauties?
Master Longbrow’s eyes lit up.
Ye Qiu continued, “Old man, picture this, you’re lying on a yacht sunbathing, surrounded by a group of foreign beauties, all fair-skinned and gorgeous, with long legs and ample figures, wearing bikinis and snuggling up to you, some feeding you fruit, some pouring you drinks, some giving you massages, and others winking and flirting with you…”
Master Longbrow closed his eyes, already imagining the scene, practically drooling.
“Little brat, stop talking, I’ll take this deal.”
Hearing Master Longbrow’s words, a smile curled at the corner of Ye Qiu’s lips.
Master Longbrow said, “After we finish Cao Yuan’s affairs, I’ll go back to the mountain to get the Sword Talismans.”
“Fine,” Ye Qiu added, “Old man, I have something else to ask you about.”
“What is it?”
“Do you know where I can find thousand-year-old spiritual herbs?”
Master Longbrow asked suspiciously, “What do you need thousand-year-old spiritual herbs for?”
Ye Qiu was naturally looking for Su Luoying, but he wouldn’t tell Master Longbrow that, saying, “Just tell me if you know where to find thousand-year-old spiritual herbs.”
Master Longbrow curled his lip, “I’m not a god, how would I know where to find thousand-year-old spiritual herbs?”
“These days, even hundred-year-old herbs are hard to come by, and you want thousand-year-old ones? I suggest you give up early, save yourself the time and effort and end up with nothing…”
As Master Longbrow spoke, he noticed Ye Qiu’s eyes flicker, then suddenly changed his tune, “Little brat, there might be one place with thousand-year-old spiritual herbs.”
“What place?” Ye Qiu asked eagerly.
Master Longbrow said, “You don’t need to know where for now, I’m going there in a few days, if there are thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, I’ll bring them back for you.”
Ye Qiu realized the place Master Longbrow was going to was no ordinary place and asked, “Where are you going?”
“You don’t need to know for now, it’s a good place anyway,” Master Longbrow changed the subject, saying, “Little brat, if you have time, come with me, if we’re lucky, we might find a few thousand-year-old spiritual herbs.”
“Alright,” Ye Qiu agreed immediately.
He also wanted to see what kind of place could have several thousand-year-old spiritual herbs.
“I’m going to sleep.”
Master Longbrow waved his hand, leaving Ye Qiu’s room in high spirits, then found a spot with a signal, pulled out his phone, and quietly made a call.
Soon after.
Shuisheng’s voice came through the phone, “Uncle Master…”
Master Longbrow said, “Shuisheng, help me with something.”
“Uncle Master, I’m still in seclusion.”
“Finish this for me, then go back to seclusion,” Master Longbrow glanced around, seeing no one nearby, and whispered, “Shuisheng, go to Huaihua tomorrow and buy me some top-quality cinnabar.”
Shuisheng asked puzzledly, “Uncle Master, what do you need cinnabar for?”
Master Longbrow chuckled, “To draw talismans!”
