"I'm not wrong, am I? Any man will definitely be attracted to her." Lin Yi laughed, looking frivolous.

"Boss Ren, we are old acquaintances. I will give this Hu Ji to you at a low price." Lin Yi said as he gestured to Ren Hao and stretched out his hand.

"Five hundred taels of silver?" Ren Hao jokingly said with a laugh.

Lin Yi was so angry that his nose almost twisted. He immediately explained to Ren Hao: "Boss Ren, please tell me the number. I lost more than a dozen capable followers in order to capture this Hu Ji."

"These five hundred taels are not enough for their resettlement fees." Lin Yi shook his head and pointed at the Hu Ji in the cage.

Faced with the old man who was going to sell her off again, Hu Ji spat at Lin Yi without any hesitation and uttered three awkwardly pronounced words, "Old bastard."

"So you can speak Chinese." Ren Hao was stunned. Lin Yi wiped the saliva off his face, picked up the whip next to him and scolded: "I really let you eat too much these days, I'm giving you a good face."

Lin Yi swung the whip in his hand and was about to hit Hu Ji in the cage, but Hu Ji glared at Lin Yi without fear.

If looks could kill, Lin Yi would have died countless times in Hu Ji's eyes.

"Stop, she is mine, you have no right to hit her." Ren Hao hurriedly stopped Lin Yi and took the whip from his hand.

"Boss Ren, let me tell you, if you want her to listen to you, you have to discipline her severely with the whip. Don't be like me and give her a good face every day, otherwise she will still not listen." Lin Yi warned Ren Hao.

"How to discipline him is my business, just give me a price." Ren Hao asked.

"That's quite straightforward." Lin Yi nodded and asked for 50,000 taels of silver.

"Do you think I'm too rich and easy to be cheated, or do you think I'm stupid?" Ren Hao immediately rolled his eyes at Lin Yi and returned the whip to him.

He can sell this Hu Ji to whoever he wants, he doesn't want her anymore.

"Boss Ren, don't go." Lin Yi hurriedly stopped Ren Hao and said that this Hu Ji was so beautiful. If she was disciplined well and then sent to the current emperor, wouldn't it be easy to get promoted and make money?

These fifty thousand taels are absolutely worth it.

"Since it is so valuable, you can discipline it slowly, and then give it to the emperor of Northern Wei when you are ready."

"The emperor will definitely grant you a high position and salary when the time comes." Ren Hao said as he walked, not being fooled by Lin Yi at all.

"I am almost dead, why should I be an official?"

"Or I'll take a loss and sell it to you for 10,000 taels cheaper," Lin Yi said beside him.

Ren Hao remained unmoved, so Linyi kept lowering the price from 40,000 taels to 10,000 taels.

But this price didn't attract Ren Hao at all.

"Boss Ren, can you please name a price? Don't just ask me to lower it." Lin Yi stood in front of Ren Hao, blocking his way.

"If you ask me, it'll be one thousand taels." Ren Hao stopped and quoted the price.

"One thousand taels is too little. It's not even enough to pay for the resettlement of those retainers."

"Please add some more." Lin Yi pestered.

"Nine hundred taels."

Ren Hao's salary dropped instead of rising, which almost made Lin Yi angry.

"One thousand taels, no less. Any less would be a huge loss!!!" Lin Yi stamped his feet in anger. At the same time, he was afraid that Ren Hao would go back on his word, so he immediately ordered his servants to send Hu Ji to Ren Hao's house.

Seeing Lin Yi pretending to be pitiful after getting an advantage, Ren Hao really wanted to punch him in the face.

But he finally held back, after all, he would still have to interact with her in the future.

"Cai Lun." Ren Hao called out as soon as he returned to the inn.

But Cai Lun, who was standing at the door and looking upstairs, was slow to come back to his senses.

"Cai Lun, are you interested in any of the girls in the inn?" Ren Hao walked up to him and called out again.

"Master, I... I didn't see anything. I was just distracted by something." Cai Lun came to his senses and shook his head, then lowered his head, looking respectful and waiting for orders.

Since Cai Lun didn't want to talk about it, Ren Hao nodded without asking any more questions and said, "Go get 1,000 taels of silver for Boss Lin."

"Yes." Cai Lun nodded and took Lin Yi back to get the silver.

But when he left, he looked as if he had lost his soul, and he kept looking back upstairs every few steps.

Ren Hao raised his head curiously and saw a maid on the second floor looking at Cai Lun who was walking away.

Ren Hao was curious and wanted to ask about the relationship between the maid and Cai Lun, but he saw a man in snow-white clothes with bruises on his face walk up to the maid and slap her twice in the face.

The maid fell to the ground and the food on the plate was scattered all over the floor.

The man who beat the maid was none other than Xu Bai, the eldest son of the Xu family.

"Wenshu, I've been calling you for a long time, but you're hiding here and slacking off. Tell me how I should punish you." Xu Bai grabbed the maid's left ear relentlessly, venting all the grievances he suffered last night on the maid.

Yesterday, when he went to the backyard because he had to pee urgently, he accidentally saw Lin Yi in the yard, who was furious and teaching Hu Ji, who was locked in a cage, a lesson.

When Xu Bai saw the stunningly beautiful Hu Ji in the iron cage, he was so attracted by her at first sight that he not only stopped Lin Yi from teaching Hu Ji a lesson, but also spent 1,500 taels to buy Hu Ji.

He originally wanted to influence this Hu Ji in his own way, but this Hu Ji was just an uncivilized little wild cat. Not only did she beat him up, she even kicked his brother, causing him to feel pain all night.

If it weren't for the Linyi retainers living in the inn, he would probably have lost his life to that Hu Ji.

"Master, please...please forgive me. I...I didn't mean to be lazy. I'm really sorry."

The maid named Wenshu cried, apologized and asked for Xu Bai's forgiveness.

"You still dare to quibble. You never change your bad habits!!!" Xu Bai snorted, raised his hand and slapped Wen Shu in the face.

Just when Xu Bai felt unsatisfied and was about to slap Wen Shu again, Ren Hao came up and grabbed his right hand.

Ren Hao looked at Xu Bai's bruised face and said, "What kind of man are you if you take your anger out on a maid?"

Xu Bai snorted, pulled his hand out and said, "What does it have to do with you if I teach my servant a lesson? Aren't you meddling too much?"

"I just can't stand you hitting women. If you dare to do that again, believe it or not, I will let Xu Qing come and deal with you." Ren Hao stood in front of Wen Shu and protected him.

"Humph."

Although Xu Bai was unhappy about Ren Hao's meddling, he was still very afraid of Xu Qing turning around and leaving.
