"May I ask what it is you need done, Fairy?" Sun Yi had not been blinded by the generous reward. Out of a mercenary's caution, he asked the question. In this line of work, he had seen too many people who lived to receive their pay but not to spend it. Yet the slight movement of his throat revealed how tempted he was by the reward. If the task did not exceed his abilities by too much, he would most likely agree.
"I have a personal grudge against Yao Chen. When I go to seek revenge, I do not want anyone else interfering. When the time comes, I will need your help creating an opportunity for Yao Chen and me to face each other alone." Since Sun Yi would learn of this sooner or later, Xiao Yi Xian decided it was best to tell him now.
"Rest assured, Fairy. You can focus on dealing with Yao Chen, while I handle the guards he hired. As for the local forces connected to him, I believe Old Sun's reputation can persuade one or two of them. I definitely will not let them interfere with you." Once he heard the details and confirmed there was no great danger, Sun Yi agreed without further hesitation. As for the pill, after confirming Xiao Yi Xian's identity, he did not believe someone like her would cheat him out of a Fourth-grade pill. Otherwise, she would not have needed to mention it at all. Even without discussing payment, he would have done it out of gratitude for her help in breaking through to Dou Master.
"Alright. Then let us make a plan." Influenced by Gu He, Xiao Yi Xian had also developed the habit of planning before acting.
"First, tell me what you know about Yao Chen."
