Chapter 1233 - 343: Running Quests! Clearing Maps!
"We did indeed do so, but this mistake is not on us. It’s because your Immortal Robe Pavilion doesn’t respect our two sects at all. You think you’ve grown to this point due to your own efforts, but in fact, we’ve been helping you from behind the scenes, haven’t we?"
"If not for the assistance of our sects, could Jiangzhou City be so peaceful? If not for our help, could your Immortal Robe Pavilion have been established out of nowhere? So since your Immortal Robe Pavilion has already received our help, you need to give us money!"
"Yes, we’re telling you this outright now. This is our current stance: your Immortal Robe Pavilion should either give us money directly, or go to war with our two sects. Besides what we’ve stated, you don’t have any other choice!"
After this Sect Leader finished speaking, another Sect Leader added.
"As Daoist friend said, we cannot just watch your Immortal Robe Pavilion steal our achievements, nor can we let you take away such silver freely. This is not just the silver of your Immortal Robe Pavilion, it’s the silver of all of us, and we all have to eat!"
"Don’t think just because you have someone in Jiangzhou City to help you that it’s okay!"
"In reality, with our two sects combined, we’re not afraid of that so-called help. Since the Cloud Descending Sect can’t deal with you, we can take action ourselves. Who do you think Jiangzhou City will choose between us and you?"
After the two Sect Leaders finished speaking, elders and the Grand Elder in the council chamber couldn’t help but nod. They whispered to each other.
As expected, when the Sect Leader spoke, it easily pointed out the crux of the matter.
Right now, Yuchi isn’t here, is he?
If you want to make peace with us, that’s possible, but don’t you need to show some sincerity? Not a penny less than fifty percent of the silver from the Immortal Robe Pavilion, or we’ll kill you right now! Make sure Yuchi has no return, let you know the consequences of running straight into our sect!
Bear in mind, there’s no one to witness us killing you now. Even if Jiangzhou City investigates, would they have evidence?!!
Then all eyes fell on Yuchi.
Yuchi took a sip of tea, of course, extremely disdainful of this kind of tea, it was very sour and astringent. When the teacup lay in his palm, he said seriously:
"First, I have come with goodwill this time. I do not wish to be your enemy, after all, you are the two most powerful sects around Jiangzhou City. If your sects fall into chaos, even if other sects take in your disciples, it’s quite troublesome to talk about such matters."
"Second, here’s the deal. You give me a million taels of silver, and I promise to give you a ten percent share of Immortal Robe Pavilion’s profits for a decade. Regardless of the amount of profit in silver, it’ll last for ten years, which means each year after this, we’ll give you a ten percent share of the profit. Whether or not it far exceeds the million you gave or you couldn’t recover your million taels, it depends on the future development of Immortal Robe Pavilion."
"Third, can we stop fighting? Let’s not resort to bullying, whether it’s the big bullying the small or many bullying few. Honestly, from the perspective of the Nine Provinces, we are all people of the third province, we are friends, we shouldn’t fight among ourselves, we should look to the future, and practice truth, goodness, and beauty."
Yuchi finished speaking, his point was straightforward.
Give me a million, and then every year for the next ten years, you will get ten percent of the profits from the Immortal Robe Pavilion. Considering the current profits of the Immortal Robe Pavilion, you can definitely earn back the million in ten years. So this is Yuchi stepping back and giving some face to these old sects.
After all, he didn’t want too much chaos around Jiangzhou City. Otherwise, he would have to specially run to other sects to discuss the matter of accepting disciples.
His idea was good, but others burst into laughter.
A Sect Leader said directly:
"Yuchi, Yuchi!"
"I don’t even know how you come up with such ideas. Can you really say this kind of stuff? What, are you taking us for beggars? Trying to placate us with some silver and think that’s mending fences with us?"
"Where’s your brain, how does your brain even work? Even if it’s to fool beggars, this wouldn’t work!"
Another Sect Leader laughed until tears came out.
"Hahaha, lucky you came to our sect!"
"Just as well, we were just looking for you!"
"Now, we’ll give you a hundred thousand taels, and for the next ten years, fifty percent of the annual profit will be ours. Moreover, you also have to pay back the principal of a hundred thousand taels we invested!"
After the two Sect Leaders finished speaking, the others couldn’t stop laughing.
With two Sect Leaders backing them, they laughed without restraint.
Everyone looked at Yuchi as if they were watching a clown, filling the luxurious council chamber with a joyful atmosphere.
