Chapter 359: Chapter 359: Solving the Hidden Danger, Miss Qingmu (1)_1

A new grain variety with a yield of a thousand catties per mu?

Yan Junyu looked at Mo Yan with a sardonic smile, a trace of surprise flickering through his narrow eyes.

This girl was indeed cunning, seemingly indifferent to fame and wealth, pushing this tremendous achievement onto him. In reality, however, she maximized her safety from any danger or disturbance and got him to owe her a big favor. He had to take care of everything, while she just needed to hide and peacefully count her silver.

She really was a crafty girl!

Although he couldn’t resist the temptation of this big opportunity, he couldn’t agree too readily either, lest the little girl became too complacent, right?

Thinking this, Yan Junyu leaned back lazily in his chair, a mischievous smile on his lips and a devilish gleam in his eyes as he casually regarded Mo Yan, saying languidly, "I always like to do things that are pleasing without effort. What you’re asking for is really troubling me."

Mo Yan wasn’t as calm inside as she appeared on the surface. On the face of it, this matter seemed entirely beneficial and not at all harmful to Yan Junyu, but if he didn’t trust her or had some other reason he couldn’t agree, there was nothing she could do.

Upon hearing his words, she couldn’t tell whether he was serious or not and couldn’t help feeling a bit anxious.

"Young Master Yan, you only need to lend your name to this matter and take care of those with ill intentions along the way. Given your status in Jing City, it’s merely a matter of a few words and doesn’t require much effort on your part," she said.

Yan Junyu remained unmoved and countered her words, saying, "It’s true that I am the Young Master of the Duke’s Mansion, but nowadays, the Duke’s Mansion neither commands troops nor holds power. It is nothing but an empty shell. With so many powerful figures in Jing City, if someone tries to snatch this piece of meat, even if I exhaust all my strength, I may not be able to stop them."

A muscle twitched in Mo Yan’s eye. If he didn’t laugh so flirtatiously, his words might have been somewhat believable. Moreover, the current Queen Mother is his aunt, and the Emperor is his cousin. Both high-ranking figures dote on him. Even if the Prince wanted to interfere, as long as he was unwilling, who would dare to take it from him by force?

"If Young Master Yan is unwilling, I won’t insist. However, I still need you to send the Xue Family’s people away, which should not be difficult for you. As for the new grain variety, I will find someone else. Surely, there will be many interested parties!"

Yan Junyu glared. This girl wasn’t playing by the script. Wasn’t she supposed to cry, cling to his leg, and beg him to agree? How could she change her mind so quickly to find someone else and still expect him to deal with the Xue Family? He didn’t want to do such thankless tasks, and yet, because of the prior agreement, he had no choice but to go through with it, which was quite frustrating!

"Of course, Young Master Yan, you can take your time to consider. I’m not in a hurry," she continued.

Seeing Yan Junyu disgruntled, Mo Yan’s mood improved significantly. Though she was the one seeking a golden opportunity, their transaction was on an equal footing. She couldn’t demean herself, nor would she ever do so.

If he didn’t agree today, it was not a problem. She could just withhold the high-quality grain variety in her Space for the time being and wait for the right moment to introduce it widely across Great Chu.

"Hmph, you think such a person is easy to find? Watch out you don’t encounter a wolf, and end up with nothing left, not even bones!" Yan Junyu couldn’t help but say spitefully, feeling too stifled by the situation. He was supposed to be in control, but instead, a young girl had outmaneuvered him.

Smiling, Mo Yan replied, "Young Master Yan, you needn’t worry about that. The chance to be remembered in history is something no one would refuse. I’m not greedy for this credit, so there’s nothing to be gnawed at."

After hearing this, Young Master Yan felt even more choked up, rolling his eyes as he said, "Didn’t you just refuse?"
