“Five million taels, I’m afraid I can’t make do at the moment…”
Lin Youliang said, trembling slightly.
When he assumed leadership of the Lin family, they had already established themselves in Jiangzhou, and everything had been relatively peaceful. Even when there were some disturbances, they never shook the Lin family’s foundation.
But now, he was facing a life-and-death crisis and a wrong move would lead to the complete destruction of the great Lin family. He couldn’t help but feel terrified.
Even before he finished speaking, beads of sweat were already welling up on his forehead.
“Oh?”
Gu Yang looked at him expressionlessly.
Lin Youliang’s voice was trembling, “Now is the time to stock up on raw silk and tea leaves. The majority of the money at hand has already gone towards these two commodities…”
Gu Yang said, “Such a big bank. Can’t even get your hands on five million taels?”
“Yes… it’s true. There has been a cash shortage in several nearby states so far this year… It is said that the imperial family withdrew a large amount of money from the Four Sea Bank… Many merchants have started to only accept cash.”
Was there such thing?
Gu Yang was slightly surprised, but he didn’t doubt Lin Youliang’s words.
For a family like the Lin family, money was not a valued resource. If they could pay to avoid disaster, they would be more than happy to do so.
He contemplated that this cash shortage was likely related to him as well.
Ever since he left Lian Mountain, he had no idea how many taels he had charged to his system in just a few months. He estimated it was probably several tens of millions of taels, which would definitely have some impact.
However, what was the royal family doing with all the money withdrawn from the Four Sea Bank?
Competing with me for business?
It seems that it is necessary to visit the Divine City after all.
The Four Sea Bank was spread throughout the world, and no one could match its amount of money. The royal family withdrew a massive amount of money from the Four Sea Bank.
All that money must have been sent to the Divine City.
Later, when he found out the location of the deposits, he would take them all at once.
While Gu Yang was considering this plan, Lin Youliang dared not breathe. Steadying his nerve he continued, “For now, we can muster a maximum of 2 million taels…”
“That little?” Gu Yang was slightly dissatisfied. It was hard work to win this fight, and this was all he could earn. It was the Golden Body Realm after all, the bones were so hard, his Phoenix Feather knife almost went blunt.
Lin Youliang immediately fell to the ground and cried loudly, “The Lin Family is willing to offer our secret treasury to you.”
Gu Yang stroked his chin and spoke with some difficulty, “Alright then.”
In the simulation, he found the Xia Dynasty treasure map in the Lin family’s secret treasury.
Unfortunately, it was of no use, as there were copies of this treasure map.
Furthermore, there was a strong Unleaking Realm guardian at that treasure spot. Attempting to steal it would be equivalent to suicide.
Well, having half a loaf is better than none, especially considering the circumstance.
Gu Yang’s time was precious, and he had no time for waiting for the Lin family to raise the money.
If he did not go to the Divine City now, he expected that Cao Yiyi’s divine shooter father would soon catch up to him.
“Wait.”
Just as Gu Yang was about to move the Lin family forward, a woman jumped out. It was the cross-dressing girl.
Indeed, he was destined to be followed by calamities from which he could not escape.
He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
The young woman’s appearance and spirit were so outstanding, in no way inferior to Su Qingzhen and Xu Ruomei. Without a doubt, she must be on the Beauty List.
How many was this now?
Gu Yang really didn’t want to deal with such troubles. However, glancing at the elderly person next to him, he decided to give him some face and asked coldly, “What is it?”
The woman asked seriously, “Gu Yang, can you teach me the ‘God Destroyer Six Styles’?”
Why are these women so brazen, making such demands on their first meeting?
Did they really believe they could do whatever they wanted with a Divine Power Realm follower by their side?
Gu Yang couldn’t even be bothered to look at her again, he tossed a single word, “No,” and turned to leave.
“I’ll give five million taels.”
The woman’s resounding voice echoed from behind.
Gu Yang paused mid-step and coldly said, “Do you know what the ‘God Destroyer Six Styles’ is? It’s a saber technique whose power can destroy the heavens and the earth, passed down from one of the Four Great Sacred Lands…”
“Eight million taels!” The woman promptly raised the price.
“Humph.”
Gu Yang snorted, “When you can get your hands on that amount of cash then come to find me.”
“It’s a deal.”
Zhao Yu, the third princess from behind, clenched her fists, her eyes filled with determination.
“Who is she?”
Upon leaving the bank, Gu Yang asked Lin Youliang.
“The current third princess.”
