Cheng Mengying waved her hand and stopped Fan Yuqiao's order. She said calmly, "Forget it, Patriarch Fan. He was only thinking about the safety of the Fan family. He didn't do it on purpose. There's no need to torture him. Besides, it's not right for my grandfather to beat someone up. Since we've already made things clear, let's just forget about it. Besides, it's the middle of the night. Let's not disturb the people at the door.
Let's go inside and talk business! "After all, both sides were at fault. Furthermore, Cheng Mengying couldn't bear to see the guard punished. It was better for both sides to take a step back. If she made things difficult for someone else the moment she arrived, then she wouldn't be comfortable as a guest.
"Yes, yes, yes. Lady Immortal is indeed magnanimous. Let's do as Lady Immortal says!" Fan Yuqiao quickly nodded and turned around. He scolded the guard with a dark expression, "If it weren't for Lady Immortal pleading on your behalf, you'd be a dead man by now. Hurry up and thank Lady Immortal for her kindness and get out of here!"
"Thank you Lady Immortal for sparing my life! I'll get out now, I'll get out now! " The guard hurriedly kowtowed a few times, then stood up and scrambled away. In his heart, he felt lucky. Fortunately, this Lady Immortal had a soft heart. He was lucky that he didn't lose his life today!
Looking at the retreating back of the guard, the Xishan Giant Ox snorted lightly. Although it was still a little unhappy, it couldn't be bothered to argue. After all, it had already taught that kid a lesson. Moreover, its purpose in coming to the Fan family was to use them to find Xiao Chen and the others. It could also earn some money along the way. Everything else didn't matter!
"Two esteemed guests, please don't let the servants affect your mood. Please come in, please come in! I've already prepared the food and wine. Let's talk while we eat! " Fan Yuqiao smiled and made an inviting gesture. After welcoming Cheng Mengying and the Xishan Giant Ox into the manor, he carefully followed them.
Cheng Mengying and Xishan Giant Bull had been running since the afternoon. Because they left in a hurry, they didn't have time to bring their food and clothes. Fortunately, Fan Yuqiao had already sent someone to bring their luggage over and placed it in the room.
It was already late at night, and Cheng Mengying and Fan Yuqiao's stomachs were already rumbling with hunger. They did not stand on ceremony with Fan Yuqiao, and directly sat down at the table and began to eat heartily. Fan Yuqiao was also very patient. He did not directly mention the business, but enthusiastically introduced the dishes, and then constantly poured wine for the two of them. He did not put on any airs as a family head.
After three rounds of wine and five different dishes, Fan Yuqiao saw that Cheng Mengying and the Xishan Giant Bull were almost full. Only then did he ask the servants to remove the leftovers and replace them with some sliced fruits. He also brewed two cups of good tea and sat down with a face full of smiles.
"I'm really sorry, it's already so late. I should have let the two of you rest first, and we can talk tomorrow." After sitting down, Fan Yuqiao picked up the tea and took a sip. Then he said with a face full of smiles, "It's just that this old man's heart is on fire, and I can't wait any longer. So I shamelessly asked the two of you to stay and chat. I wonder if the two of you mind?"
"It's fine." Cheng Mengying shook her head and said with a smile, "After eating the Fan family's meal, it's only right for me to chat with the family head. Besides, I did eat a bit too much just now. Chatting for a while can help with digestion."
"Hahaha, Fairy Cheng is really humorous!" Fan Yuqiao very cooperatively laughed a few times, and then with a face full of curiosity and reverence, he asked, "Fairy Cheng, Great Hero Xishan, if I may be so bold as to ask, which sect are the two of you from? Why have you come to Moyao Town? "
Fan Yuqiao's plan was to first understand the origins of the two masters in front of him, and then think about how much he should pay to hire them.
"Well …" Cheng Mengying stammered for a while, thinking about how to answer without exposing herself. Seeing that she was at a loss for words, Xishan Giant Bull said, "Family Head Fan, there are some things you shouldn't ask. Since you want to invite us to be the Fan family's offerings, then just name a price! As for the rest, it's useless even if you know! "
"Haha, Great Hero Xishan is indeed a straightforward person. I admire people like you!" Fan Yuqiao laughed heartily and nodded in understanding.
Fan Yuqiao also understood the rules of the Immortal Cultivation World. Some powerful immortals didn't like to reveal their identities. His question was indeed a bit rash. He was afraid that Fairy Cheng would be angry, so he quickly continued, "It's actually very simple. Our offerings here only need to kill a horse bandit and get fifty spirit crystals. If we kill the leader of the horse bandits, naturally there will be other rewards!"
"That's it? I heard that those low-level retainers invited by Patriarch Fan also seem to be paid according to their work! " Xishan Giant Bull knocked on the table and said indifferently, "But you also know my granddaughter's standard. For her, fifty spirit crystals for a horse bandit is a bit low, isn't it?"
Xishan Giant Bull knew very well that if they didn't negotiate the price beforehand, then there would definitely be trouble in the future. It was better to lay everything out from the beginning, break it up, and explain it clearly.
"No, no, no. The two of you are masters. Of course, I won't treat you the same as those offerings. Wouldn't that be treating you unfairly?" Fan Yuqiao quickly denied it. He even stole a glance at Cheng Mengying and found that she was expressionless. He felt a bit uneasy.
Hmm … We aren't interested in the payment of those low-level offerings. Family Head Fan, why don't you just state a price? If we work together, we'll succeed. If we don't, we'll part ways. There's nothing much to say. Xishan Giant Bull laughed in his heart, but he still maintained a cold expression.
Fan Yuqiao wiped his sweat, gritted his teeth, and said, "It's like this. Every month, I can give each of you a thousand spirit crystals as a salary. As long as you are willing to help escort the goods and successfully reach the destination, I will give you a reward of fifty spirit crystals for each horse bandit, regardless of whether you killed the horse bandits or not. If you can kill the leader of the horse bandits, you will be heavily rewarded!"
"En, that's more like it!" Xishan Giant Bull smiled with satisfaction. He then turned to Cheng Mengying and said, "Granddaughter, what do you think of this price? Although with your strength, these spirit crystals are nothing, since Family Head Fan is so sincere, why don't you consider his suggestion? "
Xishan Giant Bull wasn't a fool. It was all thanks to Cheng Mengying that Fan Yuqiao was able to give him such a generous salary. He was at most a "buy one get one free" gift, so he naturally had to ask for her opinion.
"What? I have to escort the goods for you? Don't offerings only need to stay in the Fan family? "Cheng Mengying's expression was a bit puzzled.
