Chapter 642: Chapter 642: Ancestral Master Says Fellow Sect Members Should Pay More

Jiangli raised an eyebrow, "Price."

Xun Tianhai was bewildered, hesitating for a moment before asking in confusion, "Isn’t it eight hundred thousand?"

How could he remember it being eight hundred thousand?

For that, he had already given Jiangli two payments of eight hundred thousand.

It hurt like hell!

He definitely wouldn’t have remembered the price wrong.

But now, Jiangli suddenly said this...

Xun Tianhai began to question life.

He quickly flipped through his phone to check the transaction records, and sure enough, it was eight hundred thousand.

He was about to speak.

But Jiangli had already started, "It used to be eight hundred thousand, that was the standard price for outsiders, but we’re from the same sect, so the price definitely can’t be the same. Wouldn’t you agree, Director Xun?"

Xun Tianhai choked, unable to gauge Jiangli’s intention, and ventured, "Then... how much money will it take?"

"Since we’re from the same sect, it should at least... double, right?" Jiangli said with a faint smile, "One point six million, how about it?"

Xun Tianhai nearly choked on his saliva.

"One, one point six million?!"

It wasn’t just Xun Tianhai on the other side.

Even Xia Xin and Fu’er, upon hearing this price, couldn’t help but stop what they were doing, and looked towards Jiangli in horror.

And it was true horror.

They had never imagined that Jiangli would dare to ask for such an exorbitant price!

One point six million!

In smaller places, that would buy you a house outright!

"No way, Abbot, are you serious?" Xun Tianhai drew a cold breath, swallowed his saliva, and found his voice again, "Abbot, I know Zhu Ming was reckless and did offend you, but... we can’t really ask for such a high price, can we?"

Hearing Xun Tianhai suddenly pause, Jiangli chuckled lightly, "Are you trying to say that I am kicking someone while they’re down?"

Xun Tianhai hadn’t spoken yet.

Jiangli laughed again, "Then you’re absolutely right. I do enjoy kicking someone while they’re down. Charity work like bringing coal in snowy weather doesn’t suit someone as vulgar as me. A person like me enjoys stepping on others when they are in pain."

Xun Tianhai was at a loss for words: "..."

The words he dared not say, Jiangli had already spoken; what could he say now?

Xun Tianhai touched his nose in defeat and laughed dryly, trying to negotiate, "Abbot, can’t you give a discount?"

One point six million was really no small sum.

He had been working as the director at the Unusual Affairs Management Office, dealing with I don’t know how many dangerous cases each year, busy running around, and he only earned half that in a year.

So much money...

It wasn’t just Zhu Ming who would feel the pinch; he felt it too.

Jiangli changed her sitting position to one of cold indifference, "No way, the price is one point six million. If you agree, I’ll go, but if not, then please ask Zhu Ming to fend for himself. After all, it’s his own doing. As a fellow sect member, I’ve already warned him. If he really dies, it’s just his fate and has nothing to do with me."

Xun Tianhai had a belly full of words he wanted to say, but Jiangli blocked them all.

He wanted to say, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seventh level pagoda, considering that we’re all from the same sect...

However...

Before he could say it...

Jiangli said it herself, also portraying herself as cold-hearted and ruthless.

What could Xun Tianhai possibly say now?

Xun Tianhai rubbed his tingling head and hesitated, "I’ll go ask..."

After all, it was Zhu Ming who had to pay; it wasn’t right for him to make a snap decision on his behalf.

Upon hearing this, Jiangli yawned, sounding bored, "Fine, then ask quickly. I don’t have all day to wait for your news."

Xun Tianhai could only say, "All right, I’ll ask right away."

Jiangli didn’t say anything more and handed the phone to Xia Xin.

Xia Xin met her gaze, understandingly ending the call.
