Chapter 2152: Why Should I?
Jing Yan stood up and cupped his fists in return.
Previously, when Xin Li came to see him, he addressed him as Mr. Jing Yan, whereas now this Qi Yuan was calling him "Little Friend Jing Yan."
Although Jing Yan didn’t much care how others addressed him, from this he could still see the difference in attitude between the Xin Family and the Mystic Moon Trading House toward him. One had to know, even the Wuxia Heavenly Monarch addressed Jing Yan as "Daoist," treating him as a peer. The Wuxia Heavenly Monarch might indeed have been elevating Jing Yan somewhat, but this Building Owner Qi Yuan’s way of addressing Jing Yan was undeniably a bit presumptuous.
Still, it didn’t matter. As long as this Mystic Moon Trading House could offer an employment fee he was satisfied with, Jing Yan wouldn’t care what they called him. The wealth of the Mystic Moon Trading House was far greater than that of forces like the Xin Family. In terms of wealth, even the Shadow Tower couldn’t compare with the Mystic Moon Trading House, not even when compared just to the regional Mystic Moon Trading House Headquarters.
"Little Friend Jing Yan, you should be able to guess my purpose for coming, right?" Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Jing Yan nodded.
"Our Mystic Moon Trading House is willing to offer an employment fee of fifteen billion Black Crystal Stones for Little Friend Jing Yan. As long as Little Friend Jing Yan is willing to represent the Mystic Moon Trading House in the Yellow Spring Cave points-competition battle, then the fifteen billion Black Crystal Stones can immediately be handed over to Little Friend Jing Yan and Yuantong Immortal Venerable." Qi Yuan continued speaking.
Fifteen billion Black Crystal Stones.
Hearing this number, Jing Yan couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.
He had thought that the Mystic Moon Trading House would offer an employment fee higher than the Xin Family’s, yet to his surprise the Mystic Moon Trading House had only quoted a paltry fifteen billion Black Crystal Stones, and the tone they used made it sound as if Jing Yan were getting an immense bargain. Even the Xin Family had offered thirty billion Black Crystal Stones, twice the Mystic Moon Trading House’s quote.
