648 Even the Dark Musician would not have Tolerated (2/2)
”Who the hell wants to be family with you!” Auden kept quiet. What else could he say? Since he has already jumped into a fire pit, he might as well think about how he could make himself comfortable in there. At this thought, he stared at Orlando viciously. If not for him, Auden would never be in such a state where he would have to pay such a heavy price.</p>
Ye Qingxuan pretended to blow at the signature on the covenant, as if he was trying to dry the non-existent ink, before keeping the covenant very slowly. Then, he turned back and looked at Orlando, who seemed prepared to make a run for it. ”Hi friend, it's your turn now.”</p>
Orlando was taken aback when he saw Ye Qingxuan taking out a new covenant, ”I don't need to plead with you!”</p>
”Is that so?” Ye Qingxuan grinned and pointed behind him, ”Now you do!”</p>
Orlando's face turned pale when he saw the murderous look on Auden's face. He could not help but curse. Alright, perhaps he really needed it now. If he chose not to sign it, who knew if Ye Qingxuan would kill him immediately to take revenge for Auden?</p>
There was a cunning smile on Auden's face. He has finally figured out how he was going to torture this b*stard! There was no reason that he should be the only unlucky one. Of course, he must drag more people down with him! If not for this as*hole, Auden would still have been perfectly fine! Although Auden might still be pissed with Ye Qingxuan for taking advantage of his misfortune, he was filled with much more hatred for Orlando!</p>
”Mr Ye, there are two clauses in the covenant that can be further adjusted,” he reminded Ye Qingxuan, pointing out the third clause. ”The definition of 'rights and obligations' here is too broad. We must not give others a chance to take advantage of any loopholes. And here, for the price of going against the covenant, we must retain the right to pursue responsibility. He may be able to escape, but not his entire School…” Auden did not mind seeing others worse off than him, now that he has landed himself in such a situation.</p>
”Oh!” Ye Qingxuan's eyes lit up after the reminder, and quickly made the necessary changes. Indeed, two heads were better than one. If not for Auden's reminder, he would have neglected an important loophole.</p>
”And here, here… we can make it more specific.” Auden has barely just joined Ye Qingxuan but he was already fully involved in the business of making sure that others would end up worse off than him.</p>
”I see!” After some changes, Ye Qingxuan held onto Auden's hands gratefully, ”Recruiting you has been my best decision. How did you know so much?”</p>
Auden laughed coldly, ”The biggest source of revenue for School of Wan Lei comes from loans. Even the Emperor of Burgundy has loaned from us before. When I was an apprentice, I was tasked to draft all these. Mr Ye, don't worry. I will make sure this covenant is perfect.”</p>
”Thank you in advance then!” Ye Qingxuan patted Auden on the shoulder and smiled gleefully at Orlando.</p>
Orlando was so enraged that he vomited blood and almost lost control of his music theory. When the both of them finally signed their contracts, Ye Qingxuan happily kept them safely with him.</p>
When the two of them saw the thick pile of covenants that Ye Qingxuan was carrying around with him, they knew that many more would end up in the same boat as them, which they would not mind.</p>
”Since we are all on the same side now, I shall not stand on ceremony.” Ye Qingxuan handed a coordinate to the two of them, ”Next, you will head over here and meet up with Master Mable of the School of Anglo. We are all the same now, there's no need to stand on ceremony.”</p>
The two of them could not help but roll their eyes. Stand on ceremony! This b*stard was so desperate to go around conning people that he could not even wait to send them over for a while. Before they departed, Ye Qingxuan called out to them again.</p>
”Ah, one more question…” Ye Qingxuan smiled awkwardly, ”Do you guys have… those… can you show me the core music theories of your Schools?”</p>
”…”</p>
Within a single day, every musician in the city has already heard about the man who was going around in a frenzy and trying to stop fights. Tens of musicians have already witnessed what just happened. When the fight was at its fiercest, a white-haired fellow would suddenly appear to split both parties apart before waving his covenants at them to try to recruit them. Such a situation brought out the worst of human nature and countless musicians fell into the trap.</p>
Now, everyone made sure to avoid the white-haired fellow as much as they could. As a result, both Liu Ran and Yuan Jing were also seen as banes. All easterners must not be anything good!</p>
Ye Qingxuan was squatting in a corner, watching two musicians that were about to fight each other. The two musicians looked at each other before looking at him. There was a long silence and no one moved a single hair.</p>
Ye Qingxuan saw that the two of them still remained motionless while he was about to finish his melon seeds. He could not help but frown, ”Quick, start fighting.” It was as if he was watching a free show, ”Why haven't the two of you started fighting?”</p>
”…” The two of them remained silent until one of them gritted his teeth and stomped his foot before walking away. ”Forget it!” The other person turned around to leave as well.</p>
Only Ye Qingxuan was left behind. He was so surprised by how the situation turned out that his jaw dropped. ”Hmm, perhaps from a certain perspective, I have already contributed to the peace of the Ultimate.”</p>
