Chapter 56

"Let's settle this. If you don't mind, call me Sister He from now on."

He Xiangming was a straightforward person; once she made up her mind, she would act on it.

"Sister He... This, this is too much, it would make you uncomfortable, wouldn't it?" Feng Yin said awkwardly.

"How could it make me uncomfortable? I'm the one in charge here. Just put your heart at ease. Besides, you need to select and cultivate young beasts, and then sell them. Our Beast Taming Sect also needs long-term, reliable business partners."

"I think you seem quite reliable, but how far you can develop in the future still depends on your own abilities. After all, if your abilities are not sufficient, even if I want to support you, I can't help you much."

He Xiangming smiled gently.

"That's not right... Actually, I do have some confidence in raising pet beasts, and I have done a pretty good job... I don't need much else, it's just that... when it comes to selling, I might be underpriced. I'm new to this, and I don't know much about prices. Sometimes, I sell things without realizing it, and only realize I've lost money after the buyers are gone... sigh."

"Ha ha ha ha..."

He Xiangming burst out laughing. This little brother was really too honest; he could easily be taken advantage of.

Just imagining the scene, he was so honest and naive, being cheated and tricked, it was too beautiful to describe!

Just that one sentence, "I actually did a pretty good job," was a bit too confident.

Saying you did a good job in front of a high-ranking member of the Beast Taming Sect?

How good could you possibly be?

"How difficult is that? You're not good at handling such matters because you're honest and inexperienced. In this world, if you're too honest, you'll only be bullied! Don't worry, don't worry, leave it to me in the future. If you really do a good job, I can represent the sect and buy them from you, and we can negotiate."

"As for regular buyers, that's a piece of cake, no problem at all!"

"If you can raise pet beasts that everyone praises, I can introduce you to super high-end clients with just one word."

He Xiangming smiled, taking on a lot of responsibilities, and patted her chest, saying, "Just relax, leave everything to your big sister in the future."

Feng Yin's face turned even redder, and he stammered, "But Sister He, as the head of the Beast Taming Sect in the southern region of the Great Qin Empire, you must be very busy... How can I let you do so much for me..."

"Don't worry about that. My job is like this; if I don't help you, I'll help someone else. What, are you not willing?"

The more he refused, the more enthusiastic He Xiangming became.

Initially, it was just a small act of kindness, a small help, but gradually, she became more and more determined.

In the end, she used a very strong attitude, almost 'domineeringly' settling the matter.

"Listen to me!"

"This is settled!"

"Shut up!"

"No talking!"

"What commission? Do you look down on me? Do I need your few coins?"

He Xiangming, while exuding a domineering aura, scolded, "You little fool, you're not willing to make money without effort, are you stupid?"

"In the future, if you have any problems in Yuezhou City, just come to me!"

"Ah, you're so honest, how can you be so honest?"

In the end, He Xiangming's words were filled with frustration.

She openly stated that she would replace the two flying pet beasts Feng Yin had just bought with higher-level ones, but Feng Yin refused, his handsome face turning red, almost on the verge of tears.

He Xiangming was so angry that she almost wanted to hit him.

Too young.

Having the opportunity to take a shortcut, he still hesitated...

Persistence and principles are good, but being too principled and too persistent is stubborn and obstinate!

Sigh.

Although I just wanted to test you and check your abilities, my intention to help you was genuine.

This guy is really ungrateful.

Feng Yin looked honest and urgent, but he understood in his heart that this woman, though enthusiastic and willing to help, if he accepted any of her offers, his status in her eyes would plummet!

The good will he gained through his looks couldn't withstand the slightest social reality!

How could he lose the bigger picture for a small gain, cutting off a long-term source of income?

So he kept refusing, shaking his head like a rattle drum.

"Unrelated, how can I be so greedy..."

"This makes me feel uncomfortable, I, I, I... I'm not used to it."

"Really, I'm not being stubborn or unreasonable, but I can't take such advantages... really, really."

"..."

Back and forth, Feng Yin stammered in refusal, yet his awkwardness and insistence on maintaining his self-respect were evident.

Finally, He Xiangming's temper flared up!

How could I, the first beauty of the Beast Taming Sect, not be able to handle a young, naive guy like you?

Being refused continuously! And by such a young, inexperienced brat!?

"Where do you live now?"

He Xiangming, in a domineering tone, asked, "Take me to see it!"

"That's not possible!"

Feng Yin instinctively refused, shaking his head like a rattle drum.

He Xiangming's eyes narrowed, and she was furious: "Are you planning to agree now and then disappear later? Not come back to avoid owing me a favor?"

Feng Yin was shocked: "How did you know!? No, no, no, that's not what I meant... cough... actually, I mean..."

Suddenly, he was at a loss for words, embarrassed and unable to defend himself.

The embarrassment of being caught in a lie was evident on this innocent young man's face.

Sure enough.

He Xiangming was so angry that she wanted to scratch her teeth, pointing at Feng Yin's forehead: "With your little mind, you dare to play tricks in front of me? Everything is written on your face! Come on, take me there!"

Feng Yin was pushed back, his face full of embarrassment and guilt.

"Come on, take me there!"

He Xiangming pushed Feng Yin forward like a prisoner.

Pushing him a few steps at a time.

"Move faster!"

Feng Yin, looking like a submissive, had a face full of honesty and innocence, stammering and unwilling, his stunning looks making women go crazy, moving forward step by step...

On the way back, he was almost pushed forward by He Xiangming.

"Faster! You're so young, how can you be so slow? Do you think I'll eat you, you little fool?"

"I've never seen anyone as silly as you!"

He Xiangming became more and more frustrated.

So angry!

It must be said that women are a very strange creature.

In He Xiangming's case, when she first offered to help Feng Yin, it was mostly a joke. If Feng Yin had agreed right away, the help she would have given would have been very limited, and she would have looked down on him.

Even after some time, she would have found him annoying—just a pretty face, taking advantage of my politeness?

But Feng Yin's refusal, his shyness, his stammering, and his actual resistance, made He Xiangming more determined.

Especially when she realized that this guy planned to temporarily agree to stabilize her and then never come back, He Xiangming was furious!

She was angry!

She was furious!

Such a handsome guy, how can you be so stubborn and inflexible!

She was full of resentment that Feng Yin didn't appreciate her good intentions!

How dare you play hide and seek with me!

I want to help you!

I'm not a monster!

You little thing, not only are you silly, but you don't know how to behave!

Just because you're good-looking, you think you can be arrogant?

Today, I will find your hideout, and see how you run!

See how you play hide and seek!

My influence is not just in this area, it's the whole Yuezhou City, the whole southern region of the Great Qin Empire. Let's see how your little sparrow can fly out of my palm.

When they arrived at the large house where Feng Yin lived, seeing the clean and tidy super large courtyard, the elegant environment, and the quiet and desolate appearance, she couldn't help but feel a bit heartache.

"Is this where you live alone?"

He Xiangming asked.

"Plus Xiaoying, we two keep each other company, relying on each other."

Feng Yin, with a happy face, stroked Xiaoying, who obediently rubbed against him.

He Xiangming suddenly felt a pain in her heart.

This large house, looking at its former prosperity, must have had a large family, with at least twenty to thirty people, including family and servants.

Now, only he was left, so desolate, so quiet...

Looking at the other rooms, most were empty, nothing but empty houses, an empty courtyard, and two lonely trees...

The things in the other rooms must have been sold, partly due to financial difficulties, and partly to avoid being reminded of the past.

He Xiangming felt a lump in her chest.

Feng Yin, with an innocent and honest smile, looked naive and innocent.

But a closer look revealed the sadness, helplessness, and loneliness in his heart...

This child, it's not easy for him.

Such experiences, yet he remains so honest and upright.

What a good child.
