Chapter 13554 Free is the most expensive
Ling Xiao heard this and sneered, with a hint of teasing and unruly in his smile:
"Haha, don't be so confident. If you knew my identity, you probably wouldn't make such a rash promise. How about this, tell the Money Gang my identity first. We have to be clear in advance to avoid arguments and hurting the relationship."

The beautiful woman's expression became serious. She sat upright, her eyes fixed on Ling Xiao's face, her nervousness inadvertently revealed: "Who are you?"

Ling Xiao chuckled, with a hint of amusement and deep meaning in his laughter: "Ling Xiao!"

When the name "Ling Xiao" was gently uttered from Ling Xiao's mouth, the beautiful woman's face suddenly changed, as if she was suddenly hit by an invisible force.

Today, the name Ling Xiao is well-known in Zhaixing Tower, and almost everyone knows him. All this is thanks to those who are chasing Ling Xiao relentlessly.

In order to force Ling Xiao to leave the protection of Zhaixing Tower, they used all means to spread Ling Xiao's deeds widely, making his name spread quickly throughout the martial arts world in a short period of time.

The beautiful woman's eyes flashed with surprise and awe. She knew very well the trouble and danger behind the name Ling Xiao. The madness and unscrupulousness of those pursuers made Ling Xiao an extremely difficult existence in the martial arts world.

At this moment, this difficult person was actually sitting in front of her, negotiating with her about the protector. This made the beautiful woman feel a great deal of pressure, and she had to handle this matter more carefully to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to the Money Gang.

Ling Xiao's smile was full of amusement and confidence. He slowly said, "Tell the Money Gang and see if they are still willing to cooperate with me. I don't want them to regret it when the time comes. That would be too disadvantageous for me."

His tone revealed an unquestionable determination, and it was obvious that he was prepared for all possibilities.

Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman's expression became even more solemn.

She naturally didn't dare to make her own decision on such a big matter. As the middleman, if the Star Picking Chamber of Commerce handled it improperly, it would damage their own reputation. She knew this very well, so she nodded quickly and firmly: "Okay, I'll go inform them now!"

However, just as the beautiful woman was about to turn around and leave, a sudden voice interrupted her action: "No need, no matter who the target is, my Money Gang dares to take it!"

The voice was clear and firm, with a force that could not be ignored. Ling Xiao frowned slightly, because he did not sense anyone's arrival in advance. He quickly turned his head to look at the door, where a woman had been standing.

The woman looked to be in her twenties, in the prime of her youth. She wore an exquisite purple dress, the hem of which swayed gently, like a violet in the night. She wore a veil on her face, revealing only a pair of eyes as clear as water.

Those eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts. Just a glance at them was enough to attract people. Her temperament was noble and mysterious, making it impossible to look away.

Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't expect that the Money Gang would send such a young and beautiful woman to handle this matter. However, what made him even more curious was how strong and courageous this woman was that she dared to take on his potentially risky commission so easily.

Seeing the mysterious and noble woman, the beautiful woman and the old man behind her bowed and saluted, with a bit of awe and surprise in their tone: "You actually came in person! We are really flattered."

The woman raised her hand slightly to stop them from bowing further. She just nodded slightly and said in a soft but firm voice: "Thank you for your hard work and running around for this matter. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely invite you to taste the fine tea from my collection."

Her gaze then turned to Ling Xiao, her watery eyes sparkling with wisdom and depth.

She spoke slowly, with an unquestionable authority in her voice: "Mr. Ling, we can cooperate with you. Not only that, all the masters of my Money Gang can work for you without charging a penny. Moreover, we can increase the number of high-level masters of Bao Yuan Realm that we originally planned to send by two, for a total of three. What do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, the beautiful woman and the old man were stunned, with unbelievable expressions on their faces. They secretly muttered in their hearts, this is clearly a losing business! Why did this lady make such a decision? Did she really not know the interests involved?
Ling Xiao just had a faint smile on his face, his eyes flashing with vigilance and curiosity.

He knew very well that there was no good thing in this world without a reason. He spoke slowly, with a hint of playfulness and inquiry in his voice: "I don't believe in pie-in-the-sky good things. Tell me, what do you want? Or, what do you hope to get from me?"

His tone was calm and firm, as if he was ready to deal with all kinds of possibilities. He knew very well that when dealing with forces like the Money Gang, he had to stay awake and alert at all times, otherwise once he fell into the trap of the other party, the consequences would be disastrous.

The woman shook her head slightly, with an unquestionable firmness in her voice: "I don't need anything in return!" Her eyes were clear and firm, as if she really had no requests.

Hearing this, Ling Xiao raised a cold smile, which was full of amusement and disdain: "No need, I, Ling Xiao, always like to spend money to get things done, so that I feel more at ease. The debt of favor is a confusing account, once it is owed, it is not easy to repay. I don't like to owe favors to others, and I don't like to be bound by favors."

The woman frowned slightly when she heard this, and her watery eyes sparkled with curiosity and confusion: "Mr. Ling is really a strange man. Most people would agree to this kind of thing directly, after all, it is a good thing that falls from the sky. And you actually refused? It is really hard to understand."

Ling Xiao smiled faintly, with a hint of self-mockery and indifference in his smile:
"I don't know whether you are a strange person or not. But I know that you and I have never met before. How can you help me for free without any reason? There is no free lunch in this world, and there is no kindness without reason.

What's more, if I don't pay, you guys in the Money Gang can always find an excuse to refuse to help me, and then I will feel even more uneasy. So, we still need to make a written agreement and sign a contract, so that everyone can feel at ease and safe. "

He paused slightly, his tone filled with sincerity and gratitude:

"If you really want to make friends with me, this is all you need. At this time, if you are willing to lend me people and help me through this difficult time, then I, Ling Xiao, will naturally remember your kindness. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you generously. But you don't have to do it for free, as that would make me feel uneasy."
