try and concoct pills. Do you know how to do this" After being modest for a while, Princess Keshi asked."There is indeed such a thing, Princess Heartseed. How did you find out about this I only asked...Chapter 439 Contract Part 1
Note: Previously, I mentioned in the chapter that there would be a ten-day hiatus. Those who accuse me of abandoning the story should check back and see it was stated at the beginning of one of the chapters as this.
Moreover, just like last month, updates next month will depend on the situation but might return to normal.
This is why Peony and others are speculating about Xianyao's identity. A talent like him should come from a scholarly family, one that’s not ordinary; even the scholarly families in Tianyuan’s capital seem unable to produce such a person.
Furthermore, if he were a talent from Tianyuan, they would have heard of him. Therefore, they speculate that Xianyao is from another country and likely from a powerful family there.
Xianyao was also asked by Peony and others, but the answers he gave them seemed laughable to them; they couldn’t believe it. Their reply would be:
Young Master, please don't joke around! If you don't want to tell us then forget it, even if you have a reason, find a better one. Saying you are just a servant from the mountains is too laughable!
Xianyao could only shrug his shoulders in response; I told the truth but no one believes me, so how can I be blamed
Today marks the last day of the ten days Xianyao promised. During these ten days, not only did Peony's music skills improve dramatically, those of the others also did. The overall talent level in Yihong Hall has risen a tier and is now among the top brothels in Yin Xin City. If there were an artistic competition, Yihong Hall would win hands down.
It could only be said that this benefits the boss of Yihong Hall; his assets have doubled even though he hasn't appeared yet.
Somewhere at this moment, some courtesans are speculating why their boss hasn’t come for such a long time. The matter should already be over by now, so why doesn’t he come Usually, the boss comes every three days or five and enjoys drinking with them.
"Boss!"
Indeed, one shouldn't speak ill of people in broad daylight nor mention certain things at night...
Just as someone was speculating about their boss’s whereabouts, he arrived. The welcoming courtesan by the door immediately called out to him but didn’t approach; she knew her boss would find his favorite on his own.
The boss likely likes a few of the top courtesans and some young men that even he can't seduce. Sometimes what one cannot get is most desirable, which is why he enjoys this style. The boss isn't someone who forces others to do things either; that's quite commendable.
"Do you know if a boy has come here recently" the boss paused in front of the welcoming courtesans by the door.
"A boy Boss, many boys come here every day. What’s his name and what does he look like" The girls by the entrance were slightly confused; why was their boss looking for a boy instead of a girl today
I don’t know his name but I won't forget how he looks. He's around 5 chi, 4 cun tall (1 meter 68 centimeters), fair and clean...
The boss started describing the boy he was looking for, a description that seemed to fit someone.
"Boss, you're not looking for Young Master" one of the girls blurted out; they were sure this described Xianyao exactly. Could it be their boss is here for him That’s odd, does their boss know Young Master
The boss was a bit puzzled because he didn’t know about Yihong Hall.
"Xianyao Young Master, yes! He's in the backyard right now. What do you need from him" one of the girls asked.
“Inside I’ll go find him!” Without answering their question, the boss rushed towards the backyard; he didn’t even ask which yard Xianyao was in since there were many yards back there.
Most of Yihong Hall's buildings are floors to accommodate more people, but because the land area wasn't sufficient, small courtyards had been built specifically in the backyard. There weren’t just one or two of these either.
Therefore, if a boss were looking for Xianyao, it should be better first to ask which yard he's in, but it seems the boss was quite anxious and forgot to ask; by the time he remembered, he could only go back and look, finding him room by room.
But the boss got lucky because he didn't have to search each courtyard since Xianyao’s courtyard is currently very lively, making it easy to spot.
"Why are you all here Shouldn’t you be outside doing business" The boss's voice was deep and sounded a bit displeased.
“Ah! Boss!”
“The boss is here!”
“...”
The scene became chaotic, but no one left because even if the boss had arrived, they needed to continue; this was a rare opportunity and missing it might mean losing forever.
"We’ll go right away, please wait just a moment!"
Such words kept entering the boss's ears, making him feel somewhat strange. Why are these women so bold now Don’t they fear that I will give them a taste of their own medicine Or could it be they already know about that matter
No, if they already knew about it, they wouldn't have called him boss just now!
So, what was the point of this
The boss felt puzzled and went to find out where all this started. It was from Xianyao who was sitting there teaching them all. He had become the center of attention with every woman surrounding him.
This situation was even more impressive than when many men fawned over one woman!
"Kid, you're here."
The boss forgot about everything else when he saw Xianyao. The women’s strange behavior and the phrase “one green dot among flowers” were thrown to the back of his mind.
Because to him, Xianyao was the most important thing now, more so than anything, including himself!
"Boss"
Mudan and others looked at their boss. They couldn’t understand what he wanted to do or why he went looking for Young Master.
"Boss, don't blame the young master. He was teaching us here," Mudan said before blocking the boss's path in front of Xianyao.
“You What are you doing I'm not blaming him. I want to make a deal with him.” The boss looked upset and dissatisfied.
He didn’t expect these women to protect this kid so fiercely. They said that he was teaching them here, which implied they still did not know about the matter yet. Yet even in such circumstances, they protected him. Did it mean that he is a common pretty boy
No, wait… Just now, when they said that he was teaching them music, could this kid be an ace at something else too
That's impossible. This kid couldn’t possibly be a talent. If he were, why would he go to such places He should just stay here.
The boss was very puzzled about the situation but did not care now as all he wanted was to make a deal with Xianyao. This deal meant that his future income source would become more stable and significant.
"Deal"
Mudan and others were equally confused. They didn’t understand what kind of deal the boss had with Xianyao. Was it to invite him here again If this was true, then there couldn't have been a better outcome for them all.
However, could that be possible Young Master seemed unaffected by these things. No one could stop him if he wanted to leave.
"So you're the one," Xianyao said when he saw the boss approaching him.
Xianyao was also puzzled about why this person appeared here, looking for him
He did not mind that someone came looking for him but how did this person know where to find him
Xianyao didn’t know that the man was actually the boss. If he knew, then everything would make sense.
"I'm here to talk business with you, let's strike a deal. Can I buy back the contract You can have ten thousand taels of silver for it." The boss looked at Xianyao and said this.
Ten thousand taels
All the women were astonished when they saw that much money on display. They had no idea what kind of contract was so valuable to be worth such a huge sum of money. This amount could support several generations in luxury or even buy out their current place.
And why did the contract end up with Young Master And how did they know each other
This also piqued their curiosity.
"Contract Oh, you mean that one I won from you" Xianyao looked at him and seemed to have just remembered what he was talking about.
“Yes, it’s that contract. Here are ten thousand silver notes, take them. All I ask for is the contract in return.”
The boss took out a pile of silver notes worth ten thousand taels and placed it on Xianyao’s table right away.
He wasn't kidding around, he really had that much money with him!
Mudan and others stared at the piles of money. They had never seen this amount of silver before in their lives. Even if they saw hundreds or thousands every day, it would still be incomparable to what was in front of them.
At that moment, all of them were pleading with Young Master to give back the contract for the ten thousand taels so he could free them all.
Of course, this thought was only a fleeting one. They would soon think differently and refuse to take such an amount of money from him, insisting on keeping that contract.
"What kind of contract is it worth such much Let me see!" Xianyao said as he reached for the contract in his bag.
Seeing this action, the boss instantly understood. He had never actually read that contract from start to end! It was just a coincidence that led him here then. Thankfully, if not, he wouldn’t know where to find someone like Xianyao.
However, my contract is worth over a hundred thousand taels of silver! You toss it aside so casually This would result in some serious consequences!
A hundred thousand taels
Right. The value of the contract wasn’t just ten thousand taels. It was much more than that. There were some other benefits to it as well and if he lost this, then his whole life could be ruined.
(To Be Continued) wouldn’t work and felt ashamed to use them. Even they could feel this shame, which was an unusual feeling for them.Apparently, ignoring someone had a hundred times the impact of arguing with them. Ch...
