Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 115: Settling debts

I was a bit confused by the reaction that she had, but I said with a nod, "That’s right, we’re cultivators. Is something wrong?"

Once again, I felt like I was getting a bunch of strange looks.

It was a gap in knowledge once again.

After all, cultivators were considered above mortals in this world, so it was something that should have been very impressive. Instead of being said in a casual manner like I had done just now.

Jiang Yu Ning’s mother just looked at me with a stunned look for a bit before finally lowering her head to say, "If this young master needs a maid, aren’t there plenty of people out there to choose from? Is there a need for you to offer me this job? Not to mention that at that wage, I’m sure that there are plenty of people that would want to take that job."

At this point, it wasn’t a matter of this offer being too good.

At this point, it seemed like there was something more that was going on behind the scenes.

Almost as if there was someone in particular that this young master was aiming for.

I could guess what she was thinking, so I honestly said, "I’m offering this job to you because of your daughter. She said that she wanted to be my lackey, so I’m offering this job to you so that you won’t have to worry about your livelihoods."

Jiang Yu Ning’s mother knitted her brows when she heard this, but before she could say anything...

I leaned in and said in a softer voice, "Besides, it’s not me that she’s interested in."

She couldn’t help revealing a surprised look before slowly looking over at her daughter without making it obvious.

As Jiang Yu Ning’s mother, she could naturally see that there was something off about her daughter.

It was that from time to time, she could see that her daughter was peeking in a certain direction. It was almost as if she was...peeking at a certain someone with a blush on her face.

Following her gaze, she could see that it was Gao Fu Shuai that her daughter was peeking at.

With all of this, she was able to figure it out.

It was like the young master had said, it wasn’t him that was interested in his daughter, but rather...It was her daughter that was interested in someone else, which was why she was doing all this.

When she figured this out, Jiang Yu Ning’s mother couldn’t help revealing a helpless smile since she saw a bit of herself in her daughter.

When she was younger, she had also done the same with Jiang Yu Ning’s father.

Though it didn’t turn out well for them in the end.

Maybe she could support her daughter’s youth instead of going against it.

There was a sort of bitter smile that appeared on her face as she turned to look at Lin Fan. Then bowing her head, she said, "Young master, I’m sorry for doubting your kind intentions. I would be honoured to accept this offer from you."

I gave a satisfied nod when I heard this before coming forward to help her up.

To my surprise, she wouldn’t stand up at all as she waved for the two kids on the side to come over as well.

The two of them came over with a curious look on their faces, but their mother made them bow their heads before saying, "Young master, thank you for the grace that you’ve shown our family. In the future, we promise to make it up to you."

Seeing them like this, there was an awkward look that appeared on my face before I said, "No, no, there’s no need for that."

The mother however still wanted her kids to thank me.

It was just too bad for her and a relief to me that they were still kids in the end.

The two of them looked up at me with bright eyes and said, "Big brother, do you still have more of the candies from before?"

I let out a sigh of relief and before their mother could reprimand them, I said, "Of course, I still have more of those candies if you want some."

The mother looked like she wasn’t happy about this as she said, "Young master..."

I shook my head at her before saying, "It’s fine, don’t worry about it."

Though she didn’t seem satisfied, she didn’t say anything since I had already said all of this.

There was still something else that I wanted to do before bringing her back to the sect, but... 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

There was a commotion that came from outside.

"Get out here right now! I know that you’re in there! Come out and let’s settle our debts!"

This was a loud voice that came from outside the house, but it seemed familiar for some reason.

I couldn’t help feeling that I had heard this voice before.

I recognized it when Jiang Yu Ning said, "Oh no, it’s them. They’re back."

"They’re back?" I repeated before realizing who she meant.

It was the group that had surrounded her before, the group from the Iron Head Gang that had tried to take her as collateral for that fake debt.

I thought that they would become much more honest after what happened, but it seemed like they weren’t willing.

If they weren’t willing, then I didn’t mind teaching them another lesson.

Especially since we had already taught them a lesson before.

This time, we wouldn’t be as kind as we were last time.

I stood up and said to the lackeys, "Let’s go and teach them another lesson. It seems like they still haven’t learned from last time."

The lackeys nodded in agreement before following me out.

Jiang Yu Ning’s mother had a worried look as she began saying, "Young master..."

But before she could finish, Jiang Yu Ning stopped her and said, "It’ll be fine."

She had panicked earlier because she instinctively feared the group from the Iron Head Gang. However, when she remembered everything that happened, she knew that it would be fine.

When I came out with my lackeys, I was surprised to find that...
