“Excellency Ersha, I guarantee on my honor that I won’t go back on my word. Will that do?” The Patriarch’s frown deepened and his expression darkened. However, he still had to coax this Ersha nicely. Sigh! Who asked this Ersha to cure the poison in his Wen family!

“Tsk! How much is it worth? Can it help me cultivate? I want money and crystals.” Zheng En did not compromise. In any case, he was confident. Moreover, he believed that the head of the Wen family would definitely give him money unless the Wen family really did not intend to save the other clansmen.

“Patriarch Wen, you’d better pay me within three days. Otherwise, I’ll really go on strike,” Zheng En reminded him very cautiously. After saying that, he patted his butt and left the main hall, leaving the Patriarch Wen sitting alone in the main seat, fuming.

After the Sixth Elder and the others returned from the Fan family’s Divine Realm, they saw the family head sitting on the main seat with a dark expression.

They did not understand and were all a little uneasy. They could not help but guess in their hearts. Could it be that the family head was angry because of the Fan family?

“Patriarch, we’re back,” the Sixth Elder said helplessly when he saw the elders winking at him.

“Yes,” the head of the Wen family replied calmly.

“Patriarch, the Fan family is famous for being unreasonable. You really don’t have to be angry with them,” Sixth Elder comforted.

“I’m not angry with them. By the way, did you find those herbs when you went to the Fan family?” The Patriarch pretended to be calm and asked.

“Patriarch, Fan Rui refused to admit that he had done this, so we didn’t find the herbs.” The Sixth Elder said gloomily. Sigh! He really didn’t expect that Fan Rui would still dare to renege on the evidence. How outrageous.

“What did the Fan family say?” Patriarch Wen continued to ask. In fact, he had expected this.

“The Fan family promised to help us gather the same herbs in three days. However, we have to pay at least half of the money,” said the Sixth Elder. Although he was angry, he was also helpless about this outcome. Sigh! He couldn’t fight with the Fan family over this matter!

“That’s the only thing we can do now. Let’s remember this debt for the Fan family. We’ll get back at them when we have the chance in the future.” The Patriarch thought for a moment and said. The most important thing now was to obtain the herbs, so everything else could be postponed. However, there was one thing that was a little troublesome!

“That idiot Zheng wants us to pay him. Otherwise, he will go on strike.” The Patriarch sighed and said.

“What?” The Sixth Elder was also a little surprised when he heard the family head’s words. It had to be known that the reward their Wen family had promised to give Zheng Ersha was not a small sum! Furthermore, their Wen family was currently in need of money, so this was really a headache. Uh! Could it be that the family head’s face was dark because of this matter?

Thinking of this, the Sixth Elder could not help but ask carefully, “Patriarch, are you angry because of this?”

The Patriarch scratched his head and said helplessly, “That’s right! Even though the Wen family has a deep foundation, there aren’t many funds that can be transferred. You should know this, right? And recently, we’ve spent a lot of money buying herbs. Therefore, if we pay Zheng Ersha now, I’m afraid we’ll be even more tight on money. Sigh!”

“That’s right! Why don’t we send someone to have a good talk with him? Our Wen family is big and powerful. We won’t go back on our word,” the Sixth Elder probed.

“It’s useless. That fool is very stubborn. He made it very clear that he was afraid that we would have no money to pay him if we bought all the herbs. That’s why he asked us to pay first. In addition, he wants us to hand over the money to him in three days.” The Wen family head’s face was filled with worry.

“Patriarch, why don’t we give him the money first! Otherwise, if he really goes on strike, our clansmen will be hopeless.” The Sixth Elder was very worried.

“Sigh! That’s the only way.” The Patriarch was at his wit’s end. He was also afraid that Ersha would really go on strike!

On the third day, the Wen family sent the herbs and the payment to Zheng En.

Ye Chen and Zheng En’s residence.

In the room.

Zheng Enqing tapped the crystal in the ring and frowned. Then, he said unhappily, “Butler, this reward isn’t right!”

“Uh! Well, since Excellency Ersha’s work isn’t finished yet, we can only pay you part of the payment. When you’ve finished all the work, the rest will naturally be paid to you. We won’t renege on the payment. Don’t worry,” the Head butler said carefully, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. Of course, he had thought of this himself. In fact, he was to be paid in full, but he had been robbed on the way here…

“Oh, since this is only the remuneration for the initial work, I won’t do the rest.” Zheng En smiled faintly and said disapprovingly. Hmph! The Wen family was really too insincere. In that case, don’t blame him for being too ruthless.

“Excellency Ersha, you can’t do this!” The Head Butler panicked when he heard this. If the family head found out about this, he wouldn’t let him off. Boohoo… What should he do?!

“Hmph! You forced me to do this,” Zheng En said angrily. Who didn’t know how to be unreasonable!

“Excellency Ersha, we can discuss things. Please don’t go on strike!” the Head Butler hurriedly said.

“It’s too late. I’m angry now. I don’t want to see you again.” After Zheng En finished speaking, he raised his leg and kicked the butler ruthlessly…

There was a loud thud as the butler flew out of the room and across the courtyard wall. Yet another loud thud was heard as he fell somewhere.

Ye Chen and Zheng En naturally didn’t care about the whereabouts of the Head Butler. After kicking him away, the two of them acted as if nothing had happened and went about their business.

In the main hall of the Wen family.

The Patriarch sat at the head of the table, while the elders sat below him. At this moment, they looked at the wet head butler with very strange gazes. They were even more puzzled. Uh! Didn’t the head butler go to deliver money and medicinal herbs to Zheng Ersha? Why did he look like this? Could it be that the butler had slacked off and went swimming?

“Patriarch…” The Head Butler cried out before kneeling on the ground and wailed.
