Chapter 56: Raising the price from the ground up
Cai Wenji buried her little head in Jiang Mingche's arms and said in a muffled voice, feeling very moved.
The smart little Cai Wenji naturally knew that Jiang Mingche did this entirely for her.
After watching Cao Pi die before her own eyes, Cai Wenji's depression was slightly alleviated.
"Silly girl, why are you being so polite to me?" Jiang Mingche touched Cai Wenji's short emerald green hair and smiled dotingly.
"After I finish attending the Guixu Dream Performance at Jixia Academy, I will go directly to Weidu to avenge your father's death."
Jiang Mingche did not forget that he still had this mission to accomplish. The temptation of 200 points was not small for him.
Two hundred points were enough for him to accomplish many things.
"Or we should wait a little longer... Cao Cao is very powerful..." Cai Wenji said hesitantly.
Having once served by Cao Cao's side, she knew better than anyone how powerful Cao Cao was.
Although Jiang Mingche is also very powerful, Cai Wenji still doesn't want him to be in danger because of her.
"What are you afraid of? Have you forgotten that I, your brother, am a god?" Pinching Cai Wenji's tender little face, Jiang Mingche said teasingly.
With two bloodlines and the Shushan sword-wielding technique, he is not afraid even if Cao Cao is at the Star Glory level.
However, Jiang Mingche also knew that this was impossible. If Cao Cao was really a master at the Star Glory level, he would have annexed one-third of the land long ago and would not have needed to make a deal with Xu Fu.
This fellow Cao Cao is not at the Star Glory realm, but this old immortal Xu Fu might be at the Star Glory realm.
Xu Fu's notoriety has been spreading for hundreds of years, and almost wherever he went, that continent would suffer.
Moreover, because the blood clan cultivates by sucking the blood of ordinary people, this perverted and unscrupulous method can improve their cultivation very quickly.
Cai Wenji nodded obediently and didn't say anything more. She seemed to have made a decision in her heart.
"Let's go back..." After watching the bodies of Cao Pi and his group being burned to ashes, Jiang Mingche picked up Cai Wenji again and left.
"There's no need to rush up the mountain today. How about I take you to the market at the foot of the mountain for some fun?" On the way back, Jiang Mingche suggested as he looked at the little girl who was always in a bad mood.
Although killing Cao Pi was a good thing, it would inevitably bring back some bad memories for Cai Wenji.
"Okay." After arriving at the town at the foot of the mountain where Jixia Academy was located, Jiang Mingche held Cai Wenji's hand and strolled in the market.
"Tell your brother what you want to eat or what you want."
"Brother, I want to eat candied haws, can I?" Cai Wenji stretched out her tender white little finger and pointed at the middle-aged man who was selling not far away, and asked with some anticipation.
Although she is more mature than other children of the same age, Cai Wenji is still just a little girl after all.
"Of course." Jiang Mingche nodded with a smile, took Cai Wenji's hand and went straight to the vendor selling candied haws.
"Boss, how much are your candied haws?"
"Three coins a string. Would you like to buy some to try?" the middle-aged man said with a naive smile.
"Here's one tael of silver. No need to change. I'll take it all." Jiang Mingche took out one tael of silver and handed it directly to the boss. He didn't have any copper coins on him.
"Okay. Take it." Seeing the silver in his hand, the boss' eyes lit up immediately. Without saying a word, he handed all the candied haws to Jiang Mingche, feeling very excited.
All of his candied haws are worth only a hundred coins in total. He didn't expect to meet such a generous rich man today. He is really lucky.
After getting the candied haws, Jiang Mingche took Cai Wenji away directly.
"Sir, please take care..."
After taking Cai Wenji to the market for an hour, Jiang Mingche bought a bunch of food and toys for the little girl, and then planned to leave directly.
Just as he was about to leave the city and head towards the mountain, a voice caught his attention and made Jiang Mingche stop unconsciously.
"Twenty thousand taels of silver. Why don't you just go and rob them?" Looking at the group of middle-aged men in front of her, Xi Shi gritted her teeth in anger.
After getting 100,000 taels of silver from Jiang Mingche, she immediately went down the mountain with 10,000 taels of silver, intending to pay off her previous debts first.
After she found her creditors, they saw that she had really gathered together 10,000 or 20,000 silver coins and started to raise the price?
The originally agreed amount of 10,000 taels of silver soared to 20,000 taels. This made Xi Shi very angry.
She had dragged on with these debts for so many years, and she had endured it until the interest reached 12,000 taels of silver.
Now these guys come right up and ask for 20,000 taels of silver. Do they really think she is a sucker?
"Yes, it's twenty thousand taels of silver. It's been so many years since the incident happened, so it's not too much for us to ask for a little more interest, right?"
The leading man, who had a greasy face and a big belly, asked with a smile.
Although he was smiling the whole time, this guy didn't give people a good impression at first glance, and he was the one who suggested raising the fee.
"No. Just 10,000 taels. Once you pay back the money, we'll be even."
Xi Shi sneered and put the woven bag containing ten thousand taels of silver in front of several people, then planned to turn around and leave.
"Don't let her go." Several middle-aged men looked at each other and chased after Xi Shi.
They are a group of ruthless demons and will not let Xishi go so easily.
"What? You want to rob me in broad daylight? Have you forgotten that I'm a student of Jixia Academy? Aren't you afraid that I will go to the teacher to complain if you do this?" Xi Shi frowned, took two steps back calmly, and directly moved the old teacher out.
In the past, Xishi had always been hiding from these debt collectors because she was afraid that they would do something wrong.
After all, these guys are all from the black market, and none of them are good people.
"If we don't tell anyone, how would the Master know that you fell into our hands?"
The middle-aged man in the lead smiled obscenely, his eyes wandering over Xi Shi's body without any hesitation.
"You are a bunch of scoundrels. Do you really think I am easy to bully?"
Noticing the middle-aged man's obscene look, Xi Shi finally couldn't bear it anymore. Although she didn't like violence, it didn't mean that she would just tolerate it.
In the past, I deliberately avoided these guys, mainly because I owed them money and felt guilty.
Now that I have paid off all the debts, if these guys are still pestering me, don't blame me for being ruthless.
"Today I will teach you a lesson. I will prevent you guys from causing trouble for others in the future..."
Xi Shi exerted her magic power, and countless magic laws surged around her.
The light blue law lingered on Xishi's fingertips. After the power of magic was gathered, it went directly towards the group of middle-aged people.
As the rhythm of Tao flowed, several middle-aged men were directly surrounded by the power of laws.
Xi Shi controlled her own demonic power and continuously attacked this group of guys.
However, Xi Shi was reserved in her attack as she did not want to cause a death.
The Three Sages of Jixia Academy have always loved peace. As a disciple of Jixia Academy, if Xi Shi killed someone in the street, she would definitely be punished when she returned.
"Ouch, it hurts so much... Please spare me. We won't dare to do it again... Don't hit me in the face."
The highest cultivation level among this group of people is only at the silver level, and they are no match for Xi Shi at all.
Under Xi Shi's attack, he was soon beaten black and blue and began to scream in pain.
"Let's see if you dare to threaten me again in the future."
After beating up these guys, Xi Shi withdrew her hands with some satisfaction and let out a sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she looked up and saw a figure that surprised her.
"Prince, why are you here?" Looking at Jiang Mingche who was walking towards her with Cai Wenji, Xi Shi asked in surprise.
