"Well, that's a lot of money."
Lu Li said helplessly: "It will probably take a while to make up for that money."
"oh?"
Ge Xinyue showed a smile, but the smile was full of 'murderous intent', which made Lu Li break out in cold sweat, "Since Manager Lu said so, let's just keep things official, okay?"
"It should, it should."
Lu Li nodded repeatedly, but before he finished speaking, a pen and paper appeared out of thin air in Ge Xinyue's hand. She drafted a contract on the spot and muttered something: "Although you are the manager of the mansion and are at the same level as me, in the mansion The money has always been under my control, and after signing this contract, I can make the decision to let you delay for a while to make up for the shortfall."
After that, she handed the contract to Lu Li.
Lu Li took it with both hands, glanced at it, and said in surprise: "Sister Ge, there's no need to be so cruel, right? A 10% increase for every month of extension?"
"What, do you think it's expensive?"
Ge Xinyue said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Then you can also consider denying the debt. After all, His Highness can no longer control you. Even King Yun was defeated by you. Naturally, I am no match for you."
"If this is where we are, we are all a family, so why bother worrying about everything."
Lu Li sneered and didn't say anything. He stared at the contract for a long time, especially the last few clauses, and said with a wry smile: "If the money is not paid, I will be a slave to Prince Yan's house for the rest of my life?"
"It's said that you are working like a cow but you are still the chief manager of Prince Yan's Mansion and occupy a high position. Do you still have any dissatisfaction?"
Ge Xinyue smiled lightly and said: "That box of jade money is enough to buy the life of a Grandmaster Mingyou."
"Well, after all... I'm in the wrong for this matter."
Lu Li sighed, took the pen from Ge Xinyue, and signed his name directly.
There was a flash of light on the paper, which meant that the contract had come into effect.
Although this contract is binding to a certain extent, in a sense it is just a 'gentleman's agreement'. Ge Xinyue's move was not only to get a promise from Lu Li, but also to broaden Lu Li's heart.
Although Ge Xinyue seems unkind, her ability to manage the huge Prince Yan's palace in an orderly manner is enough to illustrate her abilities and methods.
Ever since Lu Li left the palace yesterday, he has become the target of attention from various forces.
A genius who can defeat Grandmaster Mingyou in the Immortal Realm, not to mention Prince Yan's Palace, even the royal family will have to go to great lengths to keep him.
Mu Ningqiu's arrival actually represents a certain attitude of the royal family.
It was impossible for Ge Xinyue not to be aware of these details, so the moment Lu Li came to her door this morning, she made the corresponding judgment in her mind.
"Now that the contract has been made..."
Ge Xinyue put the contract away and said with a smile: "You have to work hard from now on."
"Work hard, of course you have to work hard."
Lu Li coughed and then said: "However, I have a question I have always wanted to ask Sister Ge. Now that I have even signed the contract of betrayal, how can I be considered a core member of Prince Yan's palace?"
"The moment you risked your life to save King Yan, you were already one." Ge Xinyue looked at him deeply, and then said: "You want to ask about the title killer?"
"certainly."
Lu Li nodded: "I heard that the headquarters of the Dibu is located in Yanzhou. I am going to Yanzhou now. As the fourth leader of the Dibu, I should know something about the highest combat power of the Dibu."
"But if it involves any secrets, you don't have to answer this question..."
After all, in the inheritance of the God's Killing Seal, there is no mention of the other three leaders and the titled killer, which shows that in the inheritance of the Earth Department, the four leaders are relatively alienated from each other. In a killer organization, this is not a very difficult behavior to understand.
As the most powerful combat force in the land, the concealment of the titled killer is also crucial.
"Even if you don't ask, I should explain these things to you in advance when we get to Yanzhou."
Ge Xinyue said calmly: "The Titled Killer is the strongest combat force in the Earth Department. It is not classified into levels and is not subject to the command of the Earth Department leader on weekdays. Except when there are particularly difficult targets, or when the life and death of Shenwei Division or Prince Yan's Mansion is at stake, Actually, the account killer is in a 'frozen' state at other times."
"Frozen state? For example, like Sister Ge, following His Highness King Yan. Becoming a general manager by your side?" Lu Li asked.
Ge Xinyue said: "Of course it's more than that. Being able to become a titled killer must be a strong man who can crush all Tianjing killers in all aspects. It would be a waste to leave such a master unused. So most of the time, the titled killer They will all carry out 'private missions' in various places in the ancient times. Firstly, it is to make money for the Earthly Ministry, and secondly, it can help the Heavenly Ministry collect some intelligence."
At this point, Ge Xinyue said: "A banned killer like me can no longer be regarded as frozen. Strictly speaking, I have withdrawn from the Ministry of Land. Just because there is no successor, the title of Qinglian has never been banned. Removed."
"There are a total of eighteen titled killers in the entire region. Ranked by combat power, Yanzhou... there are probably two more, the seventh-ranked 'Muxue' and the tenth-ranked 'Wujian'."
"Of course, the frozen state of these two people has lasted for many years, and their whereabouts have been very hidden. If there are no accidents, you will not have any communication with them."
"Beyond that, what you should be most worried about is what the other three leaders think of you."
Lu Li's heart moved: "The other three leaders are also in Yanzhou?"
"The big leader is not in Yanzhou, but the second leader and the third leader are all sitting at the Yanzhou headquarters. In principle, the four leaders of the local area will not interfere with each other, but your situation is quite special because of the accident of the four leaders. His death has left this position vacant to this day. Although your succession has His Highness’s approval, there are still quite a few criticisms against you within the Earth Ministry, among which the three leaders are the most fierce.”
Ge Xinyue took a deep look at Lu Li: "The three leaders have asked His Highness to take back his orders several times, but your succession has blocked his way."
"He wants to push one of his own to sit in this position?" Lu Li didn't need Ge Xinyue to say anything, and Lu Li knew what she wanted to express.
It seems that this third leader still has an ambitious character.
The four leaders of the Dibu do not interfere with each other, but he wants to promote one of his own to the top. This shows that he attaches great importance to the authority of the Dibu and wants to expand his influence in this way.
His succession is tantamount to disrupting the other party's plans. It is normal for the other party to regard you as a thorn in their side.
"In short, after returning to Yanzhou this time, you will become a real leader of the local tribe." Ge Xinyue said: "The second leader's character is somewhat unpredictable. Over the years, the whereabouts of the big leader have been erratic. The second leader He has almost become the actual person in charge of the Ministry of Land. But he is quite fair. Knowing that the three leaders want to harm you, he will definitely suppress the matter. But how you deal with it later depends on you. It’s up to you.”
After hearing these words, Lu Li already had a certain idea of Yanzhou, the headquarters of the region.
After thinking about it in his mind, Lu Li asked tentatively: "Is it possible for the two frozen killers to get together?"
"I advise you to give up this idea."
Ge Xinyue shook her head and said: "The Titled Killer is only loyal to His Highness King Yan and will not interfere in the internal struggles of the Ministry of Earth. If I had not withdrawn from the Ministry of Earth Affairs, I would have broken the rules by helping you several times before."
"So you must not try to win over those two people, otherwise you will piss them off and your life in the Ministry of Earth will be difficult."
Lu Li asked strangely: "If that's the case, if they don't interfere in internal affairs, there shouldn't be anything they can do to trip me up, right?"
"Things are not as simple as you think. Although the titled killers ignore the affairs of the Ministry of Earth Affairs, their reputation in the Ministry of Earth Affairs is incomparable to yours, let alone Mu Xue and Wu Jian, who have been in Yanzhou for many years. Many people have entered the area. In a sense, half of the killers in Yanzhou headquarters today are their disciples. If you offend them, you only need to say a word, and from now on you will be in Yanzhou There is no place for the headquarters anymore.”
