20 Spirit Coins a month?

Compared to that Big Qian Hotel where one had to pay the price of 30 Spirit Coins for a night, the salary was very low. He could not even stay for a night after a month’s work.

But it could not be compared like this.

Compared to Ding’an City, this salary was ridiculously high!

20 Spirit Coins was equivalent to 20 ungraded Spirit Marrows. In Ding’an City, Spirit Marrow was an extremely precious item. Almost most families could not take out 20 ungraded Spirit Marrows!

In the prefecture capital, a handyman could get 20 Spirit Marrows a month.

“Do I have food and accommodation?”

The shopkeeper was stunned and immediately said, “Yes!”

Lin Yan nodded in agreement.

The shopkeeper heaved a sigh of relief and smiled even more brightly. He even said with ill intentions, “Wait here for a while!”

The shopkeeper quickly entered the backyard. Although there was something wrong with him, all the people Lin Yan had encountered along the way were strange, so he didn’t deliberately investigate anything.

However, his ears were sharp and he heard rustling in the backyard, as if someone was moving something.

Soon, the shopkeeper’s forehead was covered in sweat. He came out again and said, “Follow me!”

He brought Lin Yan all the way to the backyard of the provision store. In the backyard, a slightly large donkey was happily eating the bean dregs in the bucket and drinking water.

There was a cart hanging behind it. There were two large wooden boxes placed side by side on the donkey cart.

“Master Qian’s family is holding a banquet today. He ordered a lot of groceries from the shop. I’ve already packed them. Send them to him immediately.”

Lin Yan:”…”

This made him take on the job directly?

Wasn’t the boss afraid that he would take the goods away?

He looked at the goods on the cart. The two large wooden boxes were locked tightly without any signs. They were tied to the donkey cart with hemp rope.

Alright, doing a job means loving a job. Lin Yan took the whip rope from the shopkeeper and sat on the donkey cart. He shook the whip and turned to ask, “Shopkeeper, where is Master Qian’s house?”

The shopkeeper was stunned. “You don’t know where Master Qian’s house is?”

Lin Yan’s heart skipped a beat as he said calmly, “I’ve been doing manual labor at the docks. 1 don’t know Old Master Qian.”

The shopkeeper’s expression became even stranger. “You’re doing hard labor at the docks, but you don’t know Master Qian? Don’t you know who you’re working for? Those sixteen steamships are all Master Qian’s!”

Lin Yan:”…”

“Oh! So it’s this Master Qian! 1 thought you were talking about someone else. I naturally recognize this Master Qian. I didn’t realize it just now.”

The corners of the shopkeeper’s mouth twitched slightly. Was this kid a fool?

Was there anyone else in District B16 who dared to call himself Old Master Qian?

Everyone’s food, clothing, and shelter belonged to Old Master Qian. Even if they breathed in a mouthful of air, it was a gift from Old Master Qian.

After all, the entire District B16 belonged to Master Qian alone!

However, it was better for him to be a fool.

The shopkeeper waved his hand. “Go, go. Set off immediately!”

Lin Yan looked at the donkey that was happily eating beans. Although it was a little different from what he had imagined, it was still the first step of integrating into the prefecture capital. Hence, he cracked his whip. “Let’s go!” However, the donkey ignored him and buried its head in eating beans. It only glanced at Lin Yan from the corner of its eye.

The shopkeeper: “…Do you really know how to ride?!”

Lin Yan’s expression remained unchanged. His body trembled slightly, and he revealed a little of the savage aura in the Azure Dragon Riding Wind and Thunder, specifically targeting the donkey.

The donkey shuddered and ran away!

The corners of the shopkeeper’s mouth twitched even more when he saw the donkey bolt out of the door and escape as quickly as it could.

After a while, he confirmed that the person had left. He quickly waved his hand behind him, and a young man immediately rushed to his side.

“Xiao Yi, quickly follow him and make sure he goes to Old Master Qian’s house!”

“Yes, Father!”

The shopkeeper let out a long breath. The expression on his face changed, and he let out a breath. “It’s all thanks to this hothead from somewhere that the three people are finally gathered. Don’t blame me. I just want to go home…”

As he spoke, he turned around and walked into the front yard.

After Lin Yan drove the carriage out, he spent some effort to use the aura of the Azure Dragon Riding Wind and Thunder to deter the running donkey and make it docile and obedient. He drove the carriage towards the Big Qian Hotel in the middle of the entire dock area.

He had already asked two passers-by. This Boss Qian was clearly extremely famous in the entire dock area. Anyone who heard his name would have their expressions change and reveal fear and reverence.

Recalling the luxurious Big Qian Hotel, it was obvious that the strange name came from Old Master Qian’s surname.

The location of his manor was also extremely easy to recognize. It was behind the Big Qian Hotel and occupied a huge area. Moreover, the style of the outer wall was closer to the luxurious manor Lin Yan had seen in Ding’an City. There were many attics and it was extremely luxurious.

Lin Yan had long noticed that there was a little tail behind him, but he didn’t care. He drove the donkey cart around Big Qian Hotel and arrived at the entrance of the luxurious manor.

The door was made of pitch-black steel and was only closed. It was very modern. Before Lin Yan could approach the door with the donkey cart, two people suddenly darted out from the dark and blocked him.

“Who’s there!”

These two people’s movements were very fast. They were actually both in the Noble Realm. Although there was a high chance that they were in the so-called crippled Noble Realm, it was enough to show how grand Master Qian was.

Lin Yan stopped the donkey cart. “I’m here to deliver the goods from Liang’s Grocery Store.”

“Liang’s?” The two Noble Realm experts narrowed their eyes and thoughtfully swept their gaze across the two boxes on the donkey cart behind him. Finally, their gazes stopped on Lin Yan and they said meaningfully, “So it’s Liang’s. Please come in.”

The steel door opened, and a large pool greeted them. There were many koi fish, and inside was a green square. At this moment, there were many colorful decorations, tables, and chairs.

Many men and women in luxurious clothes were gathered in twos and threes, chatting and laughing.

Lin Yan only took a few glances before the Noble Realm man suddenly shouted sternly, “What are you looking at! Don’t dirty the nobles with your eyes!”

Lin Yan turned to look at him without saying anything.

As he drove the donkey cart out along a small path beside a small bamboo forest, Lin Yan quickly followed one of the Noble Realm cultivators to a remote courtyard.

In the courtyard, a man in his forties was sitting in front of a wooden table. He was holding two fat pig trotters and gnawing them.

When he saw the donkey cart rush in, he raised his eyes slightly and swept his gaze across Lin Yan and the two large wooden boxes behind him.

“Manager Hu.”

The crippled Noble Realm man cupped his hands respectfully. Manager Hu waved his hand, and the crippled Noble Realm man cupped his hands and left.

Manager Hu knocked on the table, and three people walked out of the house in the courtyard.

One of them held a thick chain in his hand, while the other two did not say a word. They walked to the back of the donkey cart and took out a small knife. They cut the ropes on the cart and carried the boxes down one by one.

Throughout the entire process, the man surnamed Hu gnawed on the pig trotters in big mouthfuls. The fat was mixed with saliva, and it stained his hands.

The atmosphere was a little strange. No one spoke, as if they knew what they wanted to do. Lin Yan could only wait for the two of them to move the boxes down before swinging his whip. “Since the goods have been delivered, I’ll leave first!”

The four people in the room were stunned.

Especially the man surnamed Hu, who was chewing on a pig’s trotter. The pig’s trotter that he had placed in his mouth stopped in its tracks. Then, he took it out and placed it back on the plate on the table. He licked his oily lips and looked at Lin Yan in amusement. “Leave? Where are you going?”

Lin Yan was speechless for a moment. He had guessed that there was something wrong with this delivery, but he didn’t expect it to be the person who delivered the goods.

Hu wiped his greasy hands back and forth on the hem of his shirt, then pouted.

The two people carrying the boxes quickly took out a key and opened the two wooden boxes.

Lin Yan’s eyes widened slightly. The two large wooden boxes were not filled with groceries at all. There was actually a person in each of them!

The two people, a man and a woman, were unconscious and tied up, piled in boxes.

Hu stared at Lin Yan with even more interest and knocked on the table with his hand. His eyes were filled with the teasing of a cat playing with a mouse.. “Do you still want to leave now?”
