Only Use, Never Move

Party A: Ren Yingying & Xiang Wentian

Party B: Su Chen

Project Name: Rescue Project for Former Sun Moon Holy Cult Leader Ren Woxing

Project Funding: 500,000 taels of silver

After a period of friendly negotiation between both parties, it was finally agreed that Ren Yingying would pay Su Chen 500,000 taels of silver to rescue Ren Woxing from West Lake Plum Manor.

The two parties agreed to meet at Plum Manor in five days.

Su Chen would use these five days to rest, recuperate, and prepare for battle, while Ren Yingying and Xiang Wentian would be responsible for raising the silver.

Before the operation began, a deposit of one-tenth, or 50,000 taels, would be paid.

"I will await your arrival at West Lake Plum Manor in five days, young hero," Ren Yingying said, leaving Su Chen with these final words before she and Xiang Wentian departed Liu Manor.

Su Chen watched Ren Yingying and the other man leave, a faint smile lingering on his face.

He couldn't be happier about closing another big deal worth 500,000 taels of silver.

Especially since this particular deal wouldn't be difficult to execute.

As for whether he would face animosity or even pursuit from Dongfang Bubai afterward, Su Chen felt it wouldn't be a major issue.

He still had 10,000 Martial Arts Points that he hadn't used yet.

By noon, Liu Zhengfeng would deliver the remaining 200,000 taels of silver.

Combined with the 500,000 taels of silver promised by Ren Yingying, His Martial Arts Points would reach a total of 80,000.

With 80,000 Martial Arts Points, he would have enough to reach the Great Grandmaster realm.

By then, even if Dongfang Bubai did decide to pursue him, he would have the strength to fight back.

At the very least, he could ensure his safe escape and flee to the ends of the earth.

The world was vast, and although Dongfang Bubai was a Great Grandmaster, his reach was still limited.

Thinking of this, Su Chen felt content and calmly awaited Liu Zhengfeng to deliver the final payment.

Meanwhile, after leaving Liu Manor, Ren Yingying and Xiang Wentian headed towards Luoyang.

Over the years, she had secretly cultivated her own forces and industries, concentrating them in the Luoyang area, all while staying hidden from Dongfang Bubai's sight.

"500,000 taels of silver, that fellow Su Chen really charges an arm and a leg," Xiang Wentian couldn't help but complain.

Ren Yingying's expression remained unchanged as she calmly replied, "As long as my father can be rescued, 500,000 taels of silver is entirely worth it."

As she spoke, her expression suddenly shifted, taking on a knowing, almost amused look.

"Besides, this 500,000 taels of silver isn't so easily obtained."

"Once Father is rescued, Dongfang Bubai will surely notice and take action."

"At that time, Su Chen will become the primary target of his attention, bearing a large portion of the firepower for us and giving us ample time to recover."

At this point, Ren Yingying sighed, "I believe Su Chen must have also seen this clearly, which is why he dared to quote such an exorbitant price of 500,000 taels of silver."

Xiang Wentian nodded, agreeing with Ren Yingying's assessment.

"If that's the case, spending 500,000 taels of silver to buy a living target to draw Dongfang Bubai's fire isn't such a bad deal."

As he spoke, Xiang Wentian suddenly looked at Ren Yingying and teased, "If he accidentally dies at Dongfang Bubai's hands, it would truly be a shame."

"A shame? A shame for what?" Ren Yingying asked, confused.

Since he had the courage to take on this business, he had to bear the consequences.

If he was killed due to his lack of strength, there was no one to blame, and it certainly wasn't a shame.

"Yingying, I mean, that Su Chen is quite capable, and he's not bad-looking either. He's quite a match for you. You're not getting any younger, you should find..."

"Uncle Xiang!"

Before Xiang Wentian could finish his sentence, Ren Yingying interrupted him.

"My father is imprisoned, and as his niece, I have no interest in romance for the time being. Therefore, please refrain from saying such things."

With that, Ren Yingying suddenly turned her head, looking in the direction of Hengyang City, a hint of something unusual flashing in her eyes.

"Moreover, Su Chen is definitely not the good match you describe."

"Although I've only interacted with him for a short time, I've seen through some of his character."

"This person appears amiable on the surface, but he is actually ruthless, only caring about money and not people. He can turn his back on you faster than flipping a book."

"If I were to truly share a bed with him, I'm genuinely afraid he might chop off my head in my sleep."

Hearing Ren Yingying's words, Xiang Wentian couldn't help but recall everything that had happened earlier at Liu Manor.

He then nodded and sighed, "Yingying, you are right."

"This person is a dog with a face that doesn't grow hair and doesn't bark when they bite."

"When interacting with him, you can only use him for his benefits, never try to move him with emotion."

Meanwhile.

Su Chen was unaware that Ren Yingying and Xiang Wentian were speaking ill of him behind his back.

Of course, even if he had known, he wouldn't have been angry.

Firstly, Ren Yingying and Xiang Wentian were major clients, the 'clients', and one had to be sufficiently tolerant towards clients.

Secondly, ninety percent of Ren Yingying's description of him was accurate.

Of course, Su Chen was unaware of all this, nor did he care.

At this moment, at the back gate of Liu Manor, he was busy receiving the silver taels sent by Liu Zhengfeng.

"Lord Su, the two hundred thousand taels of silver I promised you are all here. Please count them," Liu Zhengfeng said to Su Chen, gesturing to several carriages beside him.

"No need to count. I trust your character," Su Chen said generously.

Of course, he didn't need to count it himself.

When recharging, the system would help him count it.

Even if the amount was incorrect later, it wouldn't matter; he could just throw a tantrum.

Liu Zhengfeng quickly replied, "It is truly an honor for me to have such trust from Lord Su."

As he spoke, he took out a booklet and a jade bottle from his embrace and handed them to Su Chen.

"Lord Su, these two items were found on the corpse of the Whiteboard Fiend."

"Since you killed him, the spoils of war naturally belong to you."

Su Chen accepted the booklet and jade bottle without being polite.

According to the rules of the jianghu, these two items should have been his anyway.

Next, Liu Zhengfeng took out another item and handed it to Su Chen.

"Lord Su, my entire family was able to survive Master Zuo Lengchan's butcher knife this time thanks to your strong support."

"I have nothing to repay you with, so I present this Mount Heng token as a gift. Please do not find it wanting."

Su Chen was no stranger to this token; it looked very similar to the one Yue Buqun had given him before.

He estimated that the effects of these two tokens would be about the same.

Therefore, Su Chen reached out and accepted the token.

He said, "Thank you for your kind intentions, Master Liu. I shall not refuse."

Seeing that he had gotten all the 'wool' he could, Su Chen didn't intend to stay any longer.

"Master Liu, the mountains are high and the rivers are long. We shall meet again if fate allows."

With that, Su Chen flipped onto the carriage and prepared to drive away.

"Lord Su, have a safe journey," Liu Zhengfeng said with a smile.

"Oh, right, if you have any unsolvable problems in the future, you can still find me. I'll give you a discount…"

Leaving these last words, Su Chen flicked the reins in his hand and drove the carriage away from Hengyang City.

Outside Hengyang City, Su Chen found a deserted spot and stopped.

"System, recharge two hundred thousand taels of silver."

The silver in the carriage was instantly cleared.

[Ding, Host recharged two hundred thousand taels of silver, obtained Martial Arts Points: twenty thousand points, current total Martial Arts Points: thirty thousand five hundred points]
