Ye Yue watched as Tang Youyou stood upright in front of him, his heart filled with surprise.
Their arrival broke the original atmosphere. Ye Yue and Chu Shi strode towards Tang Youyou. Chu Shi said, "Young Master Tang, you're actually alive again?"
Hearing this, Tang Youyou felt quite uncomfortable. "I never died in the first place. Aren't you cursing me?"
Hearing this, Chu Shi quickly waved his hand. Then they told Tang Youyou all the previous things. After hearing these, Hua Ling felt that the thrilling things she had experienced were still vivid in her mind.
Everyone was chatting away, completely forgetting about that man just now. That Mr. Li had disappeared without a trace. Tang Youyou looked at Ye Yue and asked.
"Did you give them what I gave you?"
Ye Yue shook his head upon hearing this. "It's all with me. I told them to let you decide after they found you."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou nodded silently. She quite liked this answer.
Tang Youyou patted Ye Yue on the shoulder, pulled him behind her, and whispered to him.
"Most of these people are from wealthy families, right?"
Ye Yue nodded and then shook his head. "Not exactly, but the vast majority of them are from wealthy families, accounting for about 80% of them."
With this, Tang Youyou roughly understood. Ye Yue saw the smile on Tang Youyou's lips and suddenly felt a twinge of fear in his heart.
He always felt that the person in front of him seemed to be up to some mischief again.
"Master, don't offend all these people at once. Although the emperor is covering for you, he's temporarily away on business."
Temporarily away on business? No wonder she hadn't seen Rong Xun for a long time. "Do you know what business he has?"
Hearing this, Ye Yue immediately shut his mouth.
Seeing his reaction, Tang Youyou knew she wouldn't be able to get a single word out of him.
Tang Youyou then changed the topic. "I'll need your help later."
Ye Yue was puzzled. "Master, what do you want to do?"
Tang Youyou shook her head and smiled. "A simple thing. I want to make a fortune."
Hearing this, Ye Yue roughly understood what Tang Youyou meant. Just then, Tang Youyou saw Mr. Li who had fled.
She smiled and said, "Everyone, now you should know the truth of some things, right?"
Hearing this, the people in Group Nine nodded one after another. "Naturally. We should thank you for exposing him. Otherwise, we wouldn't know how many tricks this guy would play on us secretly."
Hearing the support, Tang Youyou took the opportunity to say, "Since that's the case, I'll tell everyone here a good thing."
For a moment, everyone's gazes focused on her with this words.
"What other good thing?"
"Is it the good thing that we're still alive?"
Tang Youyou shook her head upon hearing this. "I have the ice flowers and dragon bone herbs you need. I can give these herbs to you, but there's one condition..."
Hearing this, these people instantly got excited. "Thank you, Young Master Tang, for your kindness. We will never forget your kindness."
Saying this, these people were about to walk towards Tang Youyou, ready to take the things and run away.
But just as they came in front of her, Tang Youyou raised her hand and pushed them back. Tang Youyou smiled and said, "Wait a minute. I think you might have misunderstood. I'm a businessman. Your friendship is of little use to me, so I don't need it."
Hearing this, those who originally had smiles on their faces suddenly changed their expressions. They all looked at Tang Youyou and asked curiously.
"What do you mean, Brother Tang? Do you think that after we take your things, we'll turn our backs on you?"
Hearing this, Tang Youyou immediately nodded and said gently, "Exactly. Since people's hearts are unpredictable, I don't know if there are still people like Mr. Li among you. Even if there's no Mr. Li, there might be Mr. Wang, Mr. Zhao..."
Hearing the implied meaning in Tang Youyou's words, these people immediately shut their mouths because what she said was indeed true. Just now, they had exposed one person.
So, some rich young masters directly said, "Then name your price. We'll buy them. Is that okay?"
Tang Youyou immediately agreed. "Oh, this big brother is really straightforward. This is exactly what I want to hear. These are good medicinal herbs, so naturally I'll ask for a higher price. Considering that we're classmates, I'll give you a friendly price. No bargaining. One hundred taels for each precious herb."
Hearing one hundred taels, those rich young masters laughed. "Pfft, this is just a small amount of money."
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard Tang Youyou say two more words: "Gold..."
For a moment, those rich young masters who originally thought Tang Youyou was asking for too little suddenly blushed and couldn't say a word for a long time.
It wasn't that they couldn't afford this money, but they thought it wasn't necessary to spend so much on a single herb.
Thinking of this, they looked at Tang Youyou's expression. She didn't seem to have any intention of lowering the price. The leading rich young master said, "For just such a useless herb, do you really need so much money? Isn't this just robbery?"
Although Tang Youyou heard this person's words, she ignored them and kept looking at the people around her.
Seeing them hesitating, she said again, "Don't hesitate. Maybe after a while, even if you want them, you might not be able to get them. Right?"
Hearing this, these people felt even more uneasy. They looked at each other, finally sighed, gritted their teeth, stamped their feet, and paid with silver notes to buy one herb.
In just a short while, these rich young masters already had one herb in their hands. The remaining few, centered around the rich young master who had just argued, kept pointing fingers at Tang Youyou.
But Tang Youyou, who was sitting on the ground, didn't care. She looked at Chu Shi on the other side and waved her hand. "Give them these dragon bone herbs. They're all the people I personally selected. There's no need to pay."
Seeing this, the rich young master on the other side couldn't stand it anymore. He angrily walked up to Tang Youyou. "What do you mean? You ask for money from us but not from others? It's not fair!"
Hearing this, Tang Youyou immediately burst into laughter. She glanced at the serious little kid beside her and said casually.
"What do you think is fair? I got these things with my life. I can give them to whoever I want. Who are you to interfere? If you think it's unfair, go and find them yourself!"
