But soon he was shocked by this idea. He was actually moved by this small favor, and he actually developed a mentality of following her steadily from now on.
Isn't this his common way to control people's hearts? How could he not even be aware of this when using it on himself?
"Thank you, Mrs. Mu, but we will collect the money as soon as possible." City Lord Xu added: "I think our bet has a time limit. It is probably unrealistic to say it will last a lifetime."
Although he is poor, he still wants to buy his freedom with money.
When he originally made the bet, he was going for someone else, and naturally he wanted to work with these two people for the rest of his life, so he didn't add a time limit.
But now he wants to be careful and try to set a deadline. If he keeps working under the hands of these two children, he will collapse sooner or later.
Mu Qianyu was quite surprised by this answer. She was trying to win people's hearts by talking like this. The old man was really smart and could turn around in time.
If all the money is collected and given, the Xu family will not feel inferior in the slightest, and it will seem natural to negotiate a time limit.
Mu Qianyu chuckled lightly and said: "Since City Lord Xu doesn't appreciate it, that's all. Then we'll keep the money, and I remember that there seemed to be no time limit when we made the bet."
City Lord Xu and a group of Xu family members behind him were all surrounded.
"According to your point of view, you need money as well as people?" an adopted son said unconvinced.
Onlookers also felt that Mu Qianyu was different during the negotiation than he had been during the fight. He seemed to be more rational, calm and wise.
Mu Qianyu nodded slightly: "I have the right to do this, don't I, Lord Xu?"
City Lord Xu had just been in deep despair, but when he heard these words, he felt that things had reached a turning point.
"But what does Mrs. Mu want to do?" He coughed twice before asking,
Mu Qianyu laughed and said: "City Lord Xu is extremely wise. I want to ask City Lord Xu how long he is willing to lead his subordinates to drive me."
City Master Xu didn't expect that she would throw the question back, so he weighed it and held out two fingers: "Two years."
Two years should be considered a moderate period of time, neither too long nor too short.
"Two years?" Mu Qianyu touched his chin and fell into thought.
Beichenye didn't say anything at the side, just letting his wife handle it as she pleased.
City Master Xu realized that he might have said too little. In this continent where people practice everywhere and compete in the Tianji realm every day, two years can only last as long as a retreat.
The time limit suddenly changed to two years. This gap is too big. It's strange that people can agree to it.
The onlookers also felt the same way. City Lord Xu was probably a little shameless. He had really lowered the stairs, which were already below the horizon. It was like a big hole in the world.
"If it doesn't work, just three years, or five years." City Lord Xu's conditions kept getting lower and lower, and he wanted to escape as soon as possible.
Mu Qianyu shook his head, then stretched out his index finger to make a '1' sign.
City Lord Xu immediately changed his color, and after a while he said: "Ten years?"
"The city lord misunderstood. It's one year. I only want all of you for one year. You can stay or leave as you like after one year." Mu Qianyu said generously and freely.
Now not only City Master Xu, but also the Xu family and passers-by couldn't believe their ears. It only took one year. They thought the worst-case scenario was two or three years.
Mu Qianyu dared to say this with great confidence. In any force, there are many people at the bottom, and money can make all the difference. In half a year, everyone will definitely know who has a better future.
As long as she gives her a full monthly salary and benefits, who would be willing to follow the Xu family and do the work of being poor and having no choice but to kill themselves.
"Ma'am, are you serious?" Xu Fan asked tentatively.
"My wife always means what she says, a year is a year." Beichen Ye said lightly. Everyone was looking at him now, wondering if he agreed.
People present didn't know that both of them could make the decision in the family affairs. They always thought that Bei Chenye still took the lead, so they all liked to wait for his attitude.
He was naturally standing on his wife's side, and he also felt that one year was long enough.
The lame leg of City Lord Xu almost jumped up. It was worth it, and it was worth spending 400 million!
There is only one year. After one year, you can do whatever you want. You no longer have to look at the faces and rules of the two little kids.
People around me still couldn't understand why. It was obviously possible to enslave the Xu family for a lifetime, but why was it changed to one year? The change was really too big.
This is good news for the Xu family, and it is not a completely heavy blow.
It was afternoon after these two games, and Mu Qianyu happily got into the carriage. The maid who helped her get into the carriage was shocked.
She never expected that it would end like this, which was quite disappointing.
The onlookers also dispersed in shock. Although they were only enslaved for one year, things have indeed changed in this year.
Their real power has been transferred from City Lord Xu to the young couple, and they don't know whether it is good or bad for the chaotic land.
"Master, you are too strong." Ji Tianming said and looked at Yuan Zhong again, giving a friendly thumbs up.
It is obvious that Yuan Zhong is too strong and winning is inevitable. It just depends on the length of time.
"It's because those people were a little worse that they couldn't even defeat Yuan Zhong." Mu Qianyu joked.
Yuan Zhong glanced over, and after thinking for a while, he lowered his head in a depressed manner. He might have something to do with others, but he didn't even dare to scare this little woman.
Mu Qianyu was very satisfied with Yuan Zhong's performance, and she felt that Yuan Zhong had been following her for so long and he had not made any mistakes except for his bad words.
It's okay to give rewards occasionally, so he said: "I will let Xiao Ji give it to you for the billion spirit stones, but remember not to be too high-profile, just keep a low profile."
"Yes, thank you, little lady." Yuan Zhong's wickedly handsome face smiled so sharply that his teeth were invisible, and he actually felt a bit happy.
Mu Qianyu waved his hand: "Go out, I want to lie down for a while."
"Okay." Yuan Zhong grabbed Ji Tianming's shoulder with one hand, transformed into black energy and carried him directly to the gambling house, saying: "Where's the money, give it to me?"
Ji Tianming was still dizzy after landing. He calmed down for a moment before saying, "Brother Yuan...what are you doing?"
"Stop pretending, you heard clearly what the little lady promised me to give me money just now." Yuan Zhong stretched out his hand towards Ji Tianming: "Little fat man, you are the most kind person."
Ji Tianming said calmly and innocently: "But this is the direction we are going to get the money. We were on the road just now."
"Huh?" Yuan Zhong didn't expect that he was in the wrong place, so he picked him up again and headed towards the beast cart.
I finally managed to get some private money, but I can't afford any accidents.
