Chapter 122 Cheap Commission

"Boss, serve the wine."

Hearing this familiar voice, the man at the bar slightly raised his head from reading the newspaper. However, after seeing who it was, the young boss was stunned. "Didn't you have enough money for the trip a few days ago?"

"Don't talk like I'm here to cause trouble..." The blindfolded young man sat down at the bar with a gentle smile on his face, "I'm clearly following the rules, and Boss Shiyu should have made a lot of money, right?"

Shi Yuchuanqi did not respond, but stared at the seemingly harmless young man in front of him, "So what would you like to eat today, Brother Ling?"

"Do you have that kind of wine?"

"It's the same no matter how many times you ask. It's exclusive."

"What a pity..." Ling shook his head, but quickly poked the fur ball in his arms with his fingers, "What does Xiao want again?"

The blue kitten with black patterns popped its head out of Ling's arms and meowed in a baby voice.

"Well, is that so? Boss, let's change to the fresh fish fillet that we didn't eat last time, and some wine. We'll stay here today."

"Yes, yes, please wait a moment - there are so many good places to go..."

Ling just chuckled at this, and then he rubbed the fur ball while pricked up his ears to listen to the occasional low debate coming from the inn.

He hooked his claws onto Ling's clothes, climbed onto his shoulders, and lowered his voice, "I really still can't like this kind of place."

"There's no need to like it, it's just a matter of getting what you need," Ling tilted his head slightly, with a smile on his lips, "and you can really get a lot of interesting information here for free..."

Youlu also pricked up his ears, but all he heard was that group of people repeating the same few sentences over and over again in different ways. He couldn't help but sharpen his claws in annoyance.

Ling raised his hand to pinch the cat's paw, saving the clothes that had begun to tear, and began to explain in a low voice, "The black market has its own set of code words, and it won't work if you just understand it literally.

For example, the two people on my right were talking about the recent smuggling market. They said that the business in the Lightning Country has been extremely bad recently due to the change of power, and they are considering going to the Fire Country...

The people behind are discussing the changes in the black market bounty. Huh? They are quite brave, actually discussing hunting bloodline ninjas... Yeah, good information."

Listening to Ling's translation, Youlu couldn't help but prick up his ears again to make out what was going on, but he still couldn't distinguish any gossip from the conversations about the weather and whether the food was delicious. For a moment, he couldn't help but doubt his life as a cat.

Just when Youlu gave up trying to find out the gossip and turned his attention to the fish slices that were served, a group of people came into the inn. The moment they came in, they raised their voices and said, "Boss, bring out some good wine and food!"

Just as he sat back at the bar and picked up the newspaper, Shi Yuchuanqi stood up again and asked, "What? Did you hunt some good meat?"

"Hey, who said it wasn't? Just after I saw the bounty, something good came to my door. I'll let you handle it according to the old rules?"

"Okay, then take a look at the goods for a while, sit anywhere you want."

Youlu watched the man carrying the cloth bag sit next to Ling, and couldn't help but raise his paw to pat Ling's hand that was pouring the wine, motioning for someone to translate.

Ling also spoke in a good-tempered manner, "It means that there is a bounty target that is very easy to catch and has a high reward."

"You know a lot, young man. Are you an expert?" The man laughed and held out his hand. "Would you like to make friends?"

Just before the broad palm was about to rest on Ling's shoulder, the wooden scabbard pressed against the man's wrist. Ling held the wine glass in one hand and the cane knife in the other, and tilted his head slightly towards the man. "Let's not talk about the fact that I don't have the habit of making friends in the black market... Isn't it a bit rude for this big brother to make friends with something on his hands?"

The man was visibly stunned, and seeing his reaction, the laughter around him spread significantly.

"Hahaha, as expected, the sacred tree has also overturned!"

"Not only do you have the same goal, but your methods are also similar. You and Dong Yun really have a good understanding of each other, hahahaha!"

"That guy ripped off Dong Yun a lot before!"

Listening to the discussions of the people around him, the man called Shenshu also understood how things had developed. He was not annoyed, and happily withdrew his hand, "Oh, come on, you bastards, why didn't you tell me earlier? Do you really want to see me having fun? Boss Shiyu, this meal will be charged to me!"

After getting the boss's response, the man turned around and cursed at the onlookers, then turned back and said, "Let me introduce myself. I am Qianqiao Shenshu, Dongyun is my younger brother. As for my livelihood, as you can see, I am an ordinary, honest businessman.

"Brother, are you really not going to consider it? I can sell you for a very good price - I can also help you find an owner you like."

"Let's not do that," Ling picked up the wine glass, not meaning to be offended, "After all, if that happens, both you and the buyer will lose a lot of lifespans - a lot of lifespans."

"Oh... forget it then." Qianqiao Shenshu turned his gaze to Shi Yuchuanqi who was carrying the dishes over, "Inspect the goods first? If I wait a while, I'm afraid I'll die. Wouldn't that be inconvenient for the boss?"

"Ah, bring it here."

Qianqiao Divine Tree handed the sack that had been placed at its feet to Shi Yuchuanqi.

But after opening the bag, it was found that there was no ordinary prey inside, but a dying girl.

Ling even heard Shi Yuchuanqi's sigh, "You really caught a big fish this time..."

"Isn't it? It's a lucrative deal to pick up such a big fish. You can get a lot of money from it, right?" Qianqiao Shenshu laughed, "After all, no matter how poor she is, she is still a princess with the right of succession."

"Let me confirm..." Shi Yuchuanqi made a few inductions, pointed his finger at the girl's brow, and then lowered his voice, "Name, father's identity."

"Zhen... Quan," the girl's voice was hoarse and as thin as a mosquito's hum, "The Land of Thunder... Daimyo..."

"Yes, she is the right person." Shi Yuchuanqi retracted his ninjutsu and picked up the girl whose life was cut off by the ninjutsu. "I have accepted the goods. As usual, the bounty will be credited to your account?"

"Okay, the old rules will do - give some to Dongyun as well."

"I see."

After hearing everything, Ling just sighed in his heart, but had no intention of interfering - he could reluctantly give the girl a ride out of convenience, but if you asked him to avenge the injustice suffered by the girl... Ninjas have never been saints.

But perhaps God destined him not to stay out of it.

When Shi Yuchuanqi was about to put the lifeless girl back into the sack, the girl's tightly clenched hands finally loosened, and half of the golden coin fell, bounced a few times and gently hit the back of Ling's hand.

After a brief moment of shock, Ling raised his hand to touch the half of the small verdict and held it in his hand, "Oh my... a cheap commission."
