Monster
It was hard to believe that there was such a rule in the outer realm's bodyguard regulations.
If you participate in a large-scale war, you will receive an additional commission based on the scale of the war.
Ye Zichen clenched the Bounty Association's manual Pu Jingwan had given him. When he saw what she'd pointed out, his face filled with astonishment.
What the hell is this thing for?
Wasn't the job of a bodyguard to protect the safety of the employer? Since it was to protect the employer, they would definitely be involved in a fight. Otherwise, why would they hire bodyguards?
Too much money to burn!
Suddenly coming up with something like this, wasn't this acting shamelessly?
"Don't look at me like that. Our Bounty Association is very fair."
"If it's a small fight, we don't need to pay more. It clearly states that it's a war. A war and a small-scale fight are two different things. "
"I'm afraid you're going to get involved in a large-scale war. The death rate in a large-scale war is very high."
"Bounty agents are all rare talents. Their lives are expensive, so it's necessary to increase their pay."
When she saw Ye Zichen's expression, Pu Jingwan puffed out her chest and puffed up her chest.
"It also says that during the mission, the hired must be absolutely respectful to the employer, and must not …"
Ye Zichen flipped to the front of the code of conduct and prepared to read the first line. Unexpectedly, Pu Jingwan snatched the booklet back and wrinkled her nose.
"Once you reach the level of a Bounty Master, you can ignore the previous clauses."
"There's something like that?" Ye Zichen was shocked.
"Of course I do. Anyway, hurry up and give me more money. If you don't, I have the right to back out of the mission, and I won't give you back the money," said Pu Jingwan, looking up at him.
In the past, Ye Zichen wouldn't have hesitated to let her go.
But after witnessing God Emperor Zhou Wu's astonishing might, he was determined to keep someone as powerful as Pu Jingwan here, no matter what.
"No problem. I'll get Han Nan to pay you double after the mission."
"I want it now."
"Then you are making things difficult for me."
Ye Zichen rolled his eyes, then prepared to head towards the Divine Martial Academy.
Pu Jingwan didn't give up, and just as they passed by a tavern ….
"Brother Ye."
Jiang Yong recognized Ye Zichen at a glance and laughed heartily as he walked out of the tavern to greet him. Ye Zichen stopped in his tracks. When he saw that it was Jiang Yong, he smiled and walked up to him.
"Why are you here?"
"Drinking with the brothers in the group, Brother Ye is …"
"I was just about to go to the Divine Martial Academy to see Xue Mo and the others."
Little did they know, when Ye Zichen mentioned Xue Mo, Jiang Yong's eyes flashed for a moment. After an instant, he put his hand on Ye Zichen's shoulder and laughed.
"There's no hurry. Let's go in and have a drink."
Before Ye Zichen could say anything, Jiang Yong dragged him inside.
As soon as he entered the tavern, he saw that almost everyone on the first floor was from Skyspan Academy.
The Aspirations Society, the Appearance Association, and the Navigators. Ye Zichen even saw the Grizzly Bears, but he didn't see Anti-Upheaval or Jiang Wei.
With Jiang Wei's proud and aloof personality, it wasn't strange that he didn't attend such occasions.
But Anti-Upheaval's group, to say nothing of the others, Li Hu was definitely there.
"Hey, look who's here."
Jiang Yong stood at the door and shouted at the top of his lungs. All the students in the tavern looked over, and when they saw Ye Zichen, they all called him "Platoon Leader Ye."
Jiang Yong's table mates, Murong Xue, the Xu Brothers, Pang Zheng, and Di Long all walked up to greet him.
"Brother Ye."
"Brother Zichen."
Murong Xue and the Xu Brothers were on good terms with Ye Zichen to begin with, so they greeted him with smiles. Pang Zheng and Di Long, on the other hand, were visibly distressed. Their relationship with Ye Zichen had always been tense, but after learning of his shocking background, they'd both set aside their enmity towards him.
They couldn't be enemies. Given Ye Zichen's background, they'd have to be out of their minds to be enemies with him.
"Brother Ye." Pang Zheng's gaze flickered back and forth as he grit his teeth and lifted a cup of wine. "It was my fault for opposing you at every turn. I hope you can let bygones be bygones."
He raised his head and downed the wine in his cup. Di Long, who was beside him, also raised his cup and downed the wine. Ye Zichen frowned at them, then picked up a gourd of wine and drained it in one gulp.
When they saw this, Pang Zheng and Di Long's frowns relaxed. The Xu Brothers laughed heartily.
"Alright, alright. We're all from the same academy, so it's inevitable that there'll be conflicts between societies. Let's drink this wine and let bygones be bygones. From now on, let's help each other out and hang out more often. "
Jiang Yong gave him a thumbs-up and laughed. "I knew Brother Ye wasn't the stingy sort. Drink up! How refreshing! Alright, alright, don't just stand there. Sit down, sit down …. Waiter, bring us two more sets of chopsticks. "
Ye Zichen was pressed onto the chair forcefully as well. Jiang Yong personally brought out a chair and had Pu Jingwan sit down.
Ye Zichen sat down, his brows still furrowed. Pang Zheng and Di Long had most likely given in because Xuan Ji had told them about his background. He could understand that.
He had no desire to oppose them. Furthermore, since Murong Xue and the others were sitting at the same table, it was clear they'd let bygones be bygones. If he didn't let them go, there'd be no point.
So, he drank the wine!
But what he cared about was why, of all the participants in the Battle of Geniuses, no one from Anti-Upheaval was here.
"Brother Ye, drink up."
Jiang Yong raised his glass and leaned over. Ye Zichen clinked glasses with him and drained it in one gulp.
Then he furrowed his brows and said, "What's going on? You've all come out, but why don't I see anyone from Anti-Upheaval? Why aren't they here?"
The other student societies in the tavern froze, and the others at the table paused as well. Murong Xue giggled and explained, "What's going on?
Anti-Upheaval just finished a competition. You're all exhausted, so you're resting. "
"Is that so?" Ye Zichen nodded. Murong Xue poured herself a glass as well. "Brother Zichen, let's have a drink as well."
"Alright!"
Everyone at the table acted as if they wanted to get him drunk. They toasted him over and over again. It wasn't just his table; the others did the same. They took turns toasting him.
Ye Zichen didn't refuse. He drank one glass after another, but he was a bit hesitant.
He could understand them toasting him. After all, Xuan Ji had suddenly exposed his background. He deserved a toast. But there was no end to the toasts. Even Murong Xue toasted him ten times. This was strange.
Furthermore, he wasn't satisfied with Murong Xue's explanation of Anti-Upheaval.
Tired!
If it were anyone else, he might have believed them, but Li Hu …. He was more energetic than anyone else. Besides, he'd come out to drink. Even if he died of exhaustion, he'd crawl over.
Ye Zichen couldn't understand what they were doing.
