บท 202: You Will Know

<p>"That ungrateful nephew, we took care of him, and he is paying us like this. What does he think he is?" Bin Wei said with an indignant tone. She felt that they were treated wrongly.<br/><br/>"What should we do?" Wei Li muttered, he was not concerned with what Bin Wei said, but about becoming noble.<br/><br/>"Why not borrow the essence stones from someone else?" Bin Wei suddenly spoke.<br/><br/>"Hmm," Wei Li looked enlightened, he glanced at Bin Wei and said,<br/><br/>"You're right, I can borrow the essence stones from someone. After all, after becoming a noble, I can earn more than I lose."<br/><br/>"But, from whom do I get these essence stones?"<br/><br/>Wei Li began to stroll again, now confused about where to borrow essence stones from.<br/><br/>After two days,<br/><br/>"Wei Li, here are ten thousand low-grade essence stones and a hundred mid-grade essence stones." A man handed the essence stones to Wei Li.<br/><br/>"Thank you, brother Ji, I will remember this favor of you and will definitely return one day." <br/><br/>Ji Woo was very popular in Bai village. He was known for giving essence stones to others in return for getting ten percent more back. <br/><br/>"No worries, but you must return them to me in two weeks; otherwise, you know what will happen, right?"<br/><br/>"Don't worry, brother, I will make sure that you get your essence stones back." Wei Li replied with a smile.<br/><br/>…..<br/><br/>After two days,<br/><br/>Yang Zhai opened his eyes. He had just finished his cultivation. He stood up and left his house. He began to walk in the direction of Wei Li's house.<br/><br/>After a while, he reached Wei Li's house. He knocked on the door. The door was opened by Lie Yi.<br/><br/>"So, it's you." Lie Yi spoke with a serious expression. He did not like Yang Zhai, to begin with, but after what happened at the noble selection ceremony, he hated Yang Zhai even more.<br/><br/>However, Yang Zhai only smiled and said,<br/><br/>"Should not you be more respectful and call me brother, after all, I am your cousin?" <br/><br/>Lie Yi did not reply and went to inform Wei Li. <br/><br/>On the other hand, Yang Zhai entered the house and sat on a chair, waiting for Wei Li.<br/><br/>"Father!" Lie Yi opened the door and shouted.<br/><br/>"What happened, why are you shouting all of a sudden?" <br/><br/>"It's Yang Zhai, he is here." <br/><br/>"So, he is finally here. I thought he had forgotten about the deal." <br/><br/>Wei Li said this while standing up. After that, he opened the door and exited.<br/><br/>"Mother, why did father say this, was he expecting Yang Zhai?" Lie Yi was confused after what Wei Li said, and asked Bin Wei.<br/><br/>"No, it's nothing. But if you want to know, just come and see for yourself." Bin Wei also exited the room and followed Wei Li.<br/><br/>"Hmm," Lie Yi was confused, but he still followed Bin Wei.  <br/><br/>Wei Li came and saw that Yang Zhai was sitting on a chair in the living room. <br/><br/>"So, you are finally here. I thought you had changed your mind." Wei Li spoke when he saw Yang Zhai. After that, he came and sat on the chair in front of Yang Zhai.<br/><br/>"Only three days remain, I thought the time had come to meet you. So, what have you decided, are you going to accept my offer or not?" Yang Zhai got straight to the point. Now, there was no need for his usual self as Wei Li was already beginning to know what kind of person Yang Zhai was.<br/><br/>"I am willing to accept your offer, but you need to lower the quantity, the number of essence stones you are asking for is too high." Wei Li wanted to bargain with Yang Zhai. <br/><br/>"That's not possible. Anyway, you can earn this much easily after becoming a noble. Don't you think that you are being too stingy?" <br/><br/>If I am not wrong, he should already have the essence stones I demanded, he is just trying to lower the amount: Yang Zhai thought.<br/><br/>"Even so, the amount you are asking for is too much, don't you think that you should lower it a little, I can't give you this many essence stones." Wei Li tried to pressure Yang Zhai, thinking that Yang Zhai was still a kid and did not know about the world.<br/><br/>"Well, do you want to become noble or not? If you don't want to give me the essence stones, I can leave, but remember that I will not return after I leave." <br/><br/>Yang Zhai stood up and was about to leave.<br/><br/>"Wait, okay, I will give you the essence stones that you asked for."<br/><br/>Wei Li hurriedly stood up and stopped Yang Zhai.<br/><br/>"Father, why are you listening to Yang Zhai? Let him leave if it pleases him, it's not like we need his help." When Lie Yi saw Yang Zhai's attitude, he shouted. Even though he did not understand what was going on, he did not like Yang Zhai's attitude.<br/><br/>"Lie Yi, stop, and don't say a word more."Bin Wei hurriedly stopped Lie Yi from speaking anymore.<br/><br/>"Yang Zhai, I am willing to give you fifty mid-grade and five thousand low-grade essence stones." <br/><br/>"Now, you are speaking like a cultivator." Yang Zhai said and sat down on the chair.<br/><br/>"Here are the essence stones." Wei Li placed the essence stones on the table.<br/><br/>Yang Zhai counted the mid-grade essence stones and stored them. As for low-grade essence stones, he stored them without counting. He stored all the essence stones in the storage bracelet.<br/><br/>"Now, let's go. Lie Yi, go and call Hyun Hae. We are going to the noble selection hall." Wei Li stood up and said.<br/><br/>"Wait," Yang Zhai spoke.<br/><br/>"What happened?"<br/><br/>"We are not going today."<br/><br/>"What do you mean by that?" Wei Li's eyes narrowed after listening to Yang Zhai.<br/><br/>"What I mean is that we are not going today, but tomorrow, I need to take care of something today."<br/><br/>"What do you mean you are busy today? We don't have much time before the noble selection ends. Four days have already gone by, only three days remain."<br/><br/>"Don't worry, we still have three days, right? Becoming a noble will also benefit me after all. Anyway, I am saying that we will do it tomorrow as I have something to take care of today."<br/><br/>"No, we can't delay it, we need to go today." Wei Li was unwilling to listen to Yang Zhai. <br/><br/>"Very well, let's go." Yang Zhai agreed.<br/><br/>"Good, Lie Yi, go and get Hyun Hae, we are going to the noble selection hall."<br/><br/>"But, father…,"<br/><br/>"Did you not listen to me?" Lie Yi still wanted to stop Wei Li from doing what he was doing but was stopped by Wei Li. He did not want Yang Zhai to benefit, especially, from his father.<br/><br/>Hyun Hae and Lie Yi came down the stairs and everyone left for the noble selection hall.<br/><br/>"Brother Yang, why did you agree to become a noble all of a sudden?" Hyun Hae asked.<br/><br/>She did not know the reason as she did not know that Yang Zhai had taken essence stones.<br/><br/>"You will know." Yang Zhai only said this.<br/><br/>!*****!*****!</p>
