Clearly, although silver mattered to Chai Jin, it did not matter all that much.
Mostly, with his current status, he no longer needed to concern himself too much with money.
To him, silver was now nothing more than a number.
That meant silver could not serve as the main bargaining chip at this point.
Jade Qilin Lu Junyi did not react much either.
When he raised the matter, he had already known this would be the outcome.
"Then what else do you need?"
Jade Qilin Lu Junyi now asked Chai Jin that question as an equal in every respect.
Even without everything that had happened earlier, Jade Qilin Lu Junyi would still have had every right to say such a thing.
After all, he was Jade Qilin Lu Junyi!
"I need cover, and I also need a friend I can entrust the younger generation to."
Chai Jin trusted Jade Qilin Lu Junyi and Chao Gai a great deal.
Of course, Fang La was another matter altogether.
Although Jade Qilin Lu Junyi and Chao Gai could not match Fang La in strength, they were both mature adults with steady temperaments.

That was also what set the two of them apart from those Imperial Court officials.
No matter
