The next morning,
Yu Daohan was woken up by a snore. He groggily opened his eyes to see Su Lai sleeping beside him, snoring and drooling.
Yu Daohan, disgusted, removed the hand that was holding him.
At noon.
The snow outside was falling harder and harder. The two were in the wooden house, warming themselves by the fire and eating fish that Su Lai had caught.
"Master Yu, where are we going to raise money now?" Su Lai picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
Yu Daohan smiled faintly and also picked up a piece of fish. "Why raise money? I have a hundred million."
Su Lai looked at Yu Daohan's confident smile and didn't quite believe him. "Come on, you'd be lucky to raise a million."
This wasn't him looking down on Yu Daohan.
Although Master Yu was the sect leader of the Yan Huo Sect, the sect didn't have many businesses under its name. The only valuable thing was the land.
If they sold the land, where would the disciples of the Yan Huo Sect live? They couldn't all cram into the Midnight Spirit Shop, could they?
Yu Daohan put on a mysterious expression. "I can sell treasures."
"Treasures?" Su Lai subconsciously looked at the Kanglong mace on Yu Daohan's lower back.
The Kanglong mace could indeed be sold for a hundred million, but this was Master Yu's signature weapon.
Seeing Su Lai's disbelief, Yu Daohan didn't say more. Instead, he said mysteriously, "Go to my shop first, and you'll know."
Yu Daohan had already made up his mind to sell the Ghost Tear.
The Ghost Tear he had obtained last time had been kept in the drawer and untouched. Since he couldn't use it anyway, he might as well sell it.
When Su Lai saw Master Yu's confident demeanor, he knew it was a sure thing.
After the two finished the fish and tidied up, they planned to return to the shop.
Taking a flight to Yangzhou, Yu Daohan directly hailed a Didi.
When he saw the familiar license plate number, Yu Daohan felt a sense of helplessness.
It seemed it was as he had thought, it was this old brother again.
Yu Daohan and Su Lai got into the car. The taxi driver glanced at Yu Daohan in the rearview mirror. His heart was calm, and he was even a little happy.
Since he couldn't avoid it, why not accept it gladly?
Before Yu Daohan could speak, the taxi driver started the car and headed towards the old street.
The car arrived at the entrance of the old street, and the two walked into the Midnight Spirit Shop.
Yu Yijun, who was lying on a rocking chair and drinking tea, saw her father return and immediately stood up, a smile on her little face. "Daddy, you're back."
Then she looked at Su Lai beside him and called out, "Uncle Su is here too."
Su Lai smiled. "It's been a while, little girl."
"Uncle Su, I'll treat you to my favorite strawberry ice cream," Yu Yijun said, walking towards the ice cream machine.
Su Lai originally wanted to refuse, but seeing the little girl's enthusiasm, he could only nod in agreement.
Yu Daohan was helpless. This little girl liked to treat others to whatever she liked to eat.
Yu Daohan and Su Lai were discussing matters in the front shop, while the little girl obediently ran to the backyard.
Seeing the little girl leave, Yu Daohan began to get down to business. "Old Su, do you know about Ghost Tears?"
"Ghost Tears?" Su Lai couldn't help but say, "Isn't this thing just a legend?"
Yu Daohan put on a mysterious expression. Seeing his expression, Su Lai immediately understood what he meant. "You don't have a Ghost Tear, do you?"
Yu Daohan didn't speak. He got up, walked to the drawer in front of the counter, and took out a transparent, water-drop-shaped object that exuded a chilling aura.
When Su Lai saw the object in Yu Daohan's hand, he exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap, Master Yu, you actually have this legendary Ghost Tear."
Yu Daohan's lips curled up. "Is this thing worth a hundred million?"
"It's worth it, it must be worth it!" Su Lai's eyes lit up.
He had only heard of Ghost Tears in legends and had never seen one.
Although he didn't know what its use was, its market value was at least a hundred million, and it was priceless.
Su Lai turned to look at the dozens of drawers on the wall. "Master Yu, what other treasures are in these drawers that I don't know about?"
Yu Daohan said proudly, "Nothing much, just a total value of a few hundred million."
This wasn't Yu Daohan bragging. The Tiangang Disha Flags and the Qiankun Mirror alone in those drawers were worth over a hundred million.
But those items were useful, and it would be a shame to sell them, especially the Qiankun Mirror.
If the Heavenly Master's Mansion found out, they would come to demand an explanation.
Although he was fearless in Jiangdu, they were still one of the three major sects, so he had to be low-key when necessary.
Su Lai looked at those drawers, as if he could already see hundreds of millions of yuan in cash.
The two discussed and decided to go directly to the creditor to use the Ghost Tear to pay off the debt.
Just as the two were about to leave, Yu Yijun suddenly ran out and said she wanted to venture into the martial world.
Yu Daohan initially disagreed, but he couldn't resist the little girl's persistent nagging and coercion, so he agreed.
However, for the little girl's safety, he still gave her the jade pendant.
After all, with a Ghost King protecting her, as long as she didn't encounter any top experts on the Black List, even if she couldn't win, she could still escape.
