Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Crowdfunding the Bride Price
"Alright," Second Young Master Li still wanted to see what the treasure map looked like, but it seemed he wouldn’t be able to, which made him somewhat disappointed. "Mr. Han Qiao, have a good rest."
"Thank you, Second Young Master." After exchanging pleasantries with Second Young Master Li, the two returned to their own room.
Yi Xuanji’s face revealed a mischievous smile as she watched them leave. "Hey, Li Er, aren’t you going to check on your brother?"
"What’s there to check?" Second Young Master Li huffed, "Once my brother decides to do something, he never fails. I can already imagine how miserable Yang Yu will be, to be honest, I did want to see it, but I don’t want my brother to compare me with Yang Yu and think I’m useless."
"So you feel inferior too!" Yi Xuanji said sarcastically. "This could have been your best chance to see your brother embarrass himself, and yet you didn’t go. What a waste!"
Second Young Master Li frowned, "What do you mean by that?"
"It’s simple, just look at the astrology!" Yi Xuanji exclaimed, "Your brother’s star is Greedy Wolf, which makes him a cunning and deceitful person, while Yang Yu’s star is the Pojun, a general who commands the battlefield. Do you think your brother can match Yang Yu?"
Before, if Second Young Master Li just thought of Yi Xuanji as a capricious girl from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect without much talent, after the ’inauspicious person’ incident, he no longer dared to underestimate her.
However, what Yi Xuanji was saying now seemed utterly unbelievable.
Could his brother, the renowned number one youth of Xia Country, really be no match for a barefooted Yang Yu?
Yi Xuanji couldn’t be bothered to say more to Second Young Master Li. She turned and walked away, muttering to herself, "Both Greedy Wolf and Pojun have appeared. The next one to show up will probably be Qisha. With three stars gathering, Xia Country is going to be really lively, hehe!"
Before the hour was up, the Wen Family, the Bai Family, Xiao Feng, and Yue Zhongren had all arrived.
The Wen Family brought not only Wen Jingren but also Mr. Wen Sr. himself: "Brother Yang, such an important occasion as presenting the engagement gifts, how could you not inform me?"
Wen Jingren also spoke to Yang Yu and Shen Silin, "I don’t know how to repay the great kindness you both have shown me. These modest gifts, consider them an advance wedding present from me!"
Wen Jingren had someone bring in a box. Upon opening it, it was indeed full of real estate deeds!
Wen Jingren explained, "These are all local properties in Tianhai City. They might not be as prestigious as Young Master Li’s properties in Yanjing, but their value shouldn’t be far off."
Yang Yu nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Wen Sr., Mr. Ren."
Grandma Bai came personally, along with Bai Xuefeng, smiling broadly, "Hearing that Xue Feng’s master was going to present engagement gifts, our Bai Family doesn’t have much else to offer, but we do have an abundance of jade. This box of top-quality jade can also be taken as an advance wedding gift for Mr. Yang!"
Bai Xuefeng personally opened the box, revealing the jade inside, pure and emerald green. The gentle glow instantly filled the entire hall, like the earth radiating the green of life!
"This jade is indeed much better than what Young Master Li sent over!"
"Of course, the Bai Family is in the jade business after all. This is what we call professionalism!"
"Yang Yu is impressive. Grandma Bai actually delivered the goods herself. Such great support!"
"Isn’t Mr. Wen Sr. also here?"
The crowd buzzed with discussion. Although Young Master Li kept a poker face, what he really thought could probably only be known by himself.
Xiao Feng also had someone bring in a box, all smiles, "Mr. Yang, hearing you were going to present engagement gifts, here is a little something from me and my best friend, Wang Xinrui. Please accept it, Mr. Yang."
"Wang Xinrui? The one from the Wang Family who keeps a young gigolo... excuse me, a ’jade lady’?"
"Cough cough, keep it down! Mr. Wang Sr. is very fond of this daughter of his!"
"The Wang family!" Young Master Li seemed to realize something, his eyes going slightly cold.
However, he said nothing, merely continuing to watch.
He wanted to see just how much more Yang Yu and his cohorts could bring to the table.
It seemed he had overestimated the solidarity of these people in Tianhai City, interesting, truly interesting.
Looking at the large box full of gold, Yang Yu nodded in gratitude, "Thank you, Chairman Xiao, and also convey my thanks to Ms. Wang."
Wang Xinrui was the original owner of Jinmao Hotel and a client of Shen Silin; unexpectedly, she was also a friend of Xiao Feng.
Wang Xinrui could have silently contributed the money, but instead, she had Xiao Feng mention her, which was undoubtedly the intention of the Wang family.
But the Wang family didn’t dare to openly clash with Young Master Li at the moment, so they had Wang Xinrui help Yang Yu in her own name.
Yang Yu acknowledged this gesture of goodwill.
The last to arrive was a box of jewels from Yue Zhongren; even though they were hurriedly gathered and not as valuable as the ones from Young Master Li, that wasn’t so important anymore.
What mattered was that Yang Yu had managed to gather them.
"Not bad," Young Master Li clapped in approval, "but, it seems we are still missing a box of valuable medicinal herbs?"
"Such a large box of valuable medicinal herbs is purely eye candy, entirely useless," Yang Yu taunted as he looked at Young Master Li, "Good stuff has always been about scarcity marking its value."
Yang Yu took out the box of Earth Origin Pills he had refined, all smiles, "This box of elixirs is more than enough to top off that box of precious herbs."
"Isn’t Yang Yu exaggerating a bit? How can that box of elixirs be so valuable? Are they Immortal Pills?"
"Immortal Pills in this day and age? Some may believe it, but I certainly don’t."
"Could this guy be bluffing because he couldn’t bring out anything good?"
Almost no one had faith in Yang Yu, even Mr. Wen Sr. and Grandma Bai slightly frowned, feeling Yang Yu was being a bit pretentious and mystifying.
Conversely, an elderly man next to Young Master Li suddenly stood up, his gaze intense, "This scent..."
Noticing the elder’s unusual behaviour, Young Master Li’s demeanor also grew strange, "Mr. Sun Sr., what do you think?"
"Impossible, this is highly improbable," Mr. Sun Sr. muttered to himself, "How could there still be someone capable of refining such elixirs nowadays? Yet, this scent is too similar, far too similar!"
Young Master Li was frustrated by Mr. Sun Sr.’s mumbling, "What kind of elixirs are they, for heaven’s sake?"
Ignoring Young Master Li, Mr. Sun Sr. approached Yang Yu, "Young man, could you open the box and let me see what elixirs are inside?"
"Old sir, you have an eye for quality!" Yang Yu said with a grin, looking at Mr. Sun Sr., "So tell me, if this box truly contains the elixirs you recognize, and there are twenty of them, do you think their value could exceed these hundred-year-old ’weeds’ like ginseng and Ganoderma?"
"Weeds?" The crowd could not help but roll their eyes, this kid really treated century-old ginseng like it was nothing!
