“Medicinal herbs worth over a thousand taels of patterned silver are probably not that common, right?”
Upon hearing the other party’s offer, Qin Niu felt not the slightest bit of temptation.
Instead, he keenly sensed that there lurked immense danger.
This young noble was willing to spend a hundred taels of silver to save a common plant, solely to verify whether the person taking up the task really had the ability.
If it was just to test the ability of the person taking up the task, other low-cost methods could have been used completely.
The willingness to spend this ‘unjustified money’ indicated two points.
First, he didn’t care about a hundred taels of silver at all. Perhaps in his eyes, these hundred taels of silver were nothing more than a wen money to ordinary people.
With such financial strength, in Black Tiger City, he would definitely not be a nobody.
Second, this person was extremely cautious. He would rather spend such a sum to test whether the other party really had the healing ability, revealing himself as the true master only after confirmation.
It can also indirectly show that he did not want the sickness of his medicinal plant to be known by outsiders.
If Qin Niu took up the task, wouldn’t they have to kill him to silence him after he healed the plant?
“There are actually quite a few medicinal herbs worth a hundred gold. Sir need not worry too much, I have come sincerely to request Sir’s assistance. If Sir agrees, I can present the thousand taels silver note in advance.”
The man’s speech was quite slow.
Each word and action exuded the authority of someone who held great power and could easily decide the fate and life or death of others.
While he verbally expressed his sincere request for Qin Niu’s help, he never took the initiative to reveal his own name.
“Sorry, I’m afraid I can’t take this job. The hundred taels of silver note I previously received will also be returned in full, thank you for your hospitality, farewell.”
Qin Niu did not wish to be caught in a hazardous situation.
He needed money, but he would only earn money that he could earn.
With the thousand taels of silver, he could immediately become a new landlord in Jade Stream Town, buy fields, buy land, keep servants, and live a life without concerns for food and clothing.
However, what’s the use of earning it if one has no life to spend? He could earn more but it would be futile.
“Master Qin, please wait!”
The middle-aged man saw Qin Niu put the hundred taels silver note on the table and walk towards the outside, then immediately called out to stop him.
Just now it was ‘Sir’ this and ‘Sir’ that, but now he directly called out Qin Niu’s surname.
This showed that he had long figured out everything about Qin Niu.
This made Qin Niu even more cautious.
It showed that the person was quite deceitful.
“Is there something else?”
Qin Niu’s brows lifted slightly, already prepared to fight for his life.
Unfortunately, his training in the Slash Martial Skill was still short, otherwise, he would have a stronger ability to protect himself against such a strong opponent.
Fortune comes with danger.
This was a lesson written in blood by the ancients.
When he first took up the notice, he felt that there were numerous abnormalities in it. He originally thought that relying on his status as an Insect Master and the first layer of his Acquired Realm cultivation, he could cope with most risks.
Now it seemed that he had overestimated himself.
Before he knew it, he had fallen into a trap set by others.
“Master Qin, Young Master Fang might have caused some misunderstandings. There are many things, where Young Master Fang has kept you in the dark, for which I apologize to you here.”
While speaking, the middle-aged man actually bowed with cupped hands to Qin Niu with respect.
“Young Master!”
The old man at the side exclaimed with surprise, wanting to stop him but not daring to do so.
Qin Niu’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Young Master Fang is making too much of it. You and I are but strangers who met by chance, it’s only natural to conceal some things. Farewell.”
All he wanted now was to quickly leave this troubled place, far away from troubled people.
“Master Qin, Young Master Fang swears to heaven that he harbors no intentions of harming you.” Young Master Fang’s figure flashed, suddenly appearing in front of Qin Niu.
His speed was so fast, like a ghost.
This indicated that his cultivation was much higher than Qin Niu’s.
He probably had also practiced Step-Method Martial Skill. Otherwise, to achieve this speed with cultivation alone, how strong would that have to be?
He might at least have one foot in the door of becoming an Immortal Master.
Qin Niu had already reached into his clothes, gripping the handle of his blade.
As he hadn’t felt any malice or intent to kill from the other party, he was not in a hurry to draw his Ink Blade.
Crossing swords would surely harm the harmony.
If the matter could be resolved peacefully, that would be the best.
“My young master deliberately concealed that information to protect you! You this young man, really do not know what’s good for you,” said the old man by the side, berating him. “Do you know the identity of my young master? To have my young master humble himself to apologize to you, this is already utmost sincerity and kindness.”
“Young Master Fang, Old Master Huang, since you have brought the matter to this point, then let’s speak plainly. With you being so cautious in your actions, if I knew about your medicinal herb, would there be any chance for me to live afterward?”
Qin Niu’s face was cold and impassive, completely unmoved.
Neither of them was a three-year-old child. In the face of absolute interests, even fathers and sons could slaughter each other, and siblings could turn on one another directly.
Why should he believe that these two would not silence him by murder?
Only the dead can be relied upon.
