Chapter 1890: Chapter 1894: House Servant of the Yin Residence

Being sold and still counting the money, Qin Tian felt that he was in such a situation now.

After receiving the money, Zhu Lao San and the other two didn’t even say goodbye to Qin Tian and left directly.

As for Qin Tian, he was taken into the Yin Family by Housekeeper Yang.

"You’re Lin Feng, right? Have you figured out your situation now?"

Once inside the courtyard, Housekeeper Yang turned around and looked down at Qin Tian, saying, "Zhu Lao San has sold you to the Yin Family. You can’t leave even if you want to. From now on, you belong to the Yin Family. I advise you not to have any other thoughts, or else..."

"Okay, I understand."

Qin Tian appeared very calm, calm enough to make Housekeeper Yang dumbstruck. Those who were sold here usually struggled, got angry, and cursed Zhu Lao San, right? But Lin Feng accepted so easily?

Surely, he’s got a cheap life!

Housekeeper Yang thought to himself.

But then Qin Tian asked, "Housekeeper Yang, I just want to know, how much was I sold for?"

"Haha, you? With your status, how much could you sell for? Ten High Grade Spirit Stones."

"Uh... alright, very well."

Upon hearing he was only worth ten High Grade Spirit Stones, Qin Tian almost spat blood in anger. Damn it, Zhu Lao San must be blind to sell me for such a low price?

"Alright, since you’ve accepted it, very well. From now on, you’ll work as a house servant in the backyard, responsible for tending to the flowers and feeding the Demon Beasts."

"Okay, Housekeeper Yang."

Qin Tian had a clear understanding of his current situation. First, get familiar with the environment here, then look for a chance to go out. It seems this Yin Family is a wealthy household; with a status here on the Second Peak of the Myriad Demon Mountain Range, it should be relatively safe.

Given enough time, Qin Tian is bound to find an opportunity.

He arrived at the backyard of the Yin Family. It’s a big courtyard, divided into different sections. Qin Tian’s section includes the Flower Garden, Medicine Garden, and the Demon Beast Park - three major areas.

Of course, these three areas aren’t solely managed by Qin Tian. There are three people in total, plus a backyard housekeeper, Gao Ping, overseeing them.

"Brother, you’re new here, right? Were you sold here? Haha, I’m Wang Xiaoming, nice to meet you."

"I’m Guo Dapeng. What’s your name?"

"I’m Lin Feng. From now on, we’ll all be working for the Yin Family. Pleased to work with you," Qin Tian said warmly.

"No problem, we’re all just trying to make a living. We’ll help each other out," Wang Xiaoming replied.

Qin Tian nodded in agreement and asked, "Our Yin Family is one of the wealthy households on the Second Peak, right? This courtyard looks quite impressive."

Wang Xiaoming answered, "That’s right. Aside from a few ancient figures from the Demon Clan who live in seclusion, the Yin Family has significant influence on the Second Peak, being one of the two major families."

Qin Tian didn’t forget his goal and started gathering information from Wang Xiaoming and Guo Dapeng.

From them, he learned that the Myriad Demon Mountain Range consists of nine peaks. However, only three of them are inhabited all year round, namely the Second Peak, Fifth Peak, and Eighth Peak.

Among them, the Second and Eighth Peaks have roughly equal population and power, while the Fifth Peak is the highest and largest mountain of the Myriad Demon Mountain Range, and the core of the nine peaks, with the biggest population and influence.

After hearing this, Qin Tian felt slightly more at ease. Given this information, if he is to find Yin Yue Demon Venerate and others, he should focus on the Fifth Peak.

After all, Qin Tian remembered that Yin Yue Demon Venerate brought several hundred people into the Myriad Demon Mountain Range. Unless many were lost in the Heavenly Punishment Forest or other mountain traps, Yin Yue Demon Venerate and his people could only be settled on the Fifth Peak.

"Seems like I need to find an opportunity to go check out the Fifth Peak."

Qin Tian thought to himself, and learned more about the approximate direction of the Fifth Peak from Wang Xiaoming. Although Wang Xiaoming hadn’t been there, he told Qin Tian to ask those who frequently travel among the three peaks for business on the Second Peak, as they should know.

With these leads, Qin Tian became quite adept at navigating.

The next day, he went to inquire about the path to the Fifth Peak.

However, when he returned to the Yin Family through the back door, he happened to run into the backyard housekeeper, Gao Ping.

This tall and strong fellow was quite annoying. In the past two days, Qin Tian had things to do, so he didn’t pay attention to Gao Ping’s nitpicking and deliberate difficulties.

But today, when Qin Tian returned, Gao Ping started flaunting his power in front of Qin Tian: "Lin Feng, without my permission, you left the backyard and even went out of the Yin Family. Do you know the consequence?"

"No, I don’t." Qin Tian shook his head.

Previously, Wang Xiaoming and Guo Dapeng had told Qin Tian to serve Gao Ping well, or else the consequences would be severe, possibly even fatal.

Qin Tian knew that this Gao Ping was difficult to deal with, and didn’t want to cause trouble, so he suppressed his anger and asked, "Housekeeper Gao, please enlighten me."

"Yo, speaking so cultured. Hmph, let me tell you, as a house servant, leaving the household without permission implies an intent to escape. The Yin Family’s rule is that any escaping house servant is killed without pardon!"

"Oh, then what do you suggest?"

Qin Tian knew Gao Ping was very greedy, so since money could resolve it, he wouldn’t argue with Gao Ping.

"Your this month’s salary is gone."

"Alright, consider it my tribute to you, Housekeeper Gao, please look after me in the future."

"Hah, don’t play these games with me. You attempted to escape, and I chose not to report, thereby saving your little life. Your monthly salary amounts to twenty High Grade Spirit Stones and a hundred taels of Gold. Do you think that can buy your life?"

"Housekeeper Gao, then how much do you think is needed?" Qin Tian found it amusing; this Gao Ping truly seemed like a greedy fellow.

However, twenty High Grade Spirit Stones a month really wasn’t much.

You see, Qin Tian, a marquis, is currently carrying several Storage Bags, and just taking one out would contain at least ten thousand High Grade Spirit Stones!

"Hehe, I wonder how sincere you are," Gao Ping said, rubbing his chin as though still deciding how much he wanted to extort from Qin Tian.

"How about ten thousand..."

"Great, a year’s! Your whole year’s salary belongs to me. Consider yourself sensible."

Before Qin Tian could finish his sentence, Gao Ping happily agreed.

Qin Tian stood there confused, crap, I meant to offer ten thousand Spirit Stones, and you said a year? A year is barely over two hundred Spirit Stones!

"Looks like my life here really is cheap."

Qin Tian chuckled wryly, saying, "Alright, Housekeeper Gao, you have the final say. A year it is."

At least the matter was settled, and suddenly, a guard came rushing into the courtyard and commanded, "Don’t stand around here, clear the area! The young lady is back!"
