Chapter 12 - The Di Clan's Seven Sabers
What could be more exciting than this? To Di Jiu, the appearance of the Fairy Planet was no longer important. What was important was that he could finally practise martial arts.
Being able to practise meant that he needed to make a fortune so that he could buy the herbs necessary for his training.
In the past, he had only had a few hundred yuan to his name. Although Di Jiu had not taken this to heart, now he was in a rush to start earning money. This was actually his first mission.
Shen Ziyu had given him something he could use to register at the martial arts faculty at North Luo University, so he could definitely sell that at a very high price, considering the popularity of the Fairy Planet.
He could start cultivating now, so whether or not he could go to the Fairy Planet was no longer important.
Di Jiu rushed back to his residence as quickly as he could and poured the contents of his bag onto the floor.
The herbs, which he had not organized yet, and two relatively thin books tumbled out of his bag.
The book on top had the words “The Di Clan’s Seven Sabers” written on its cover.
This was a book that had been passed down through many generations of the Di family, so many people in the Ji Nation had been coveting it. However, the Di Clan’s Seven Sabers was only passed down to male descendants of the family, so it had been passed down to Di Jiu after his fifth brother had died, even though he did not have any martial roots. The book had not been passed down to Di Jiu’s three sisters because female descendants could not inherit it.
Di Jiu ignored her completely. Where he went was his own business. Who was this woman anyway? Did she think that the whole world revolved around her?
“Sign this. The amount you’ll be given when you sign is one million. Nothing will change if you don’t sign it.” The woman pulled out a contract and handed it to him.
Di Jiu read it in confusion. The details on the contract were not that complicated. He was able to get the gist just by scanning its content.
If he signed this agreement, he would be giving up his right to inherit the Di Clan’s drug-manufacturing business, including the seven buildings where his clan manufactured drugs, their four pharmaceutical factories and six hospitals. There were also many other assets listed, such as the Medicine Business Center and a long list of manors.
What is this? Could he have been born into a wealthy family with so many assets?
“Sign the contract quickly. Even if you don’t sign it, Ziheng will still find somebody related to him by blood. When that happens, you will not be able to get a single cent. Do you know why Ziheng is giving you one million? It’s only because he considers you his elder brother. He cannot bear to see you live like this.” There was no warmth in the woman’s voice. She seemed to be certain that he would sign the contract.
Only a fool would not sign such a contract. If he signed it, he would get a million. If he didn’t, he would get nothing. However, money was a small issue. It was the consequences of signing the contract that were dire.
Di Jiu did not know what his identity in his previous life on Earth had been, but he knew that he’d never had the intention of signing such a thing.
He casually threw the contract in his hands back at the woman. “Scram before I call the police.”
“You…” The middle-aged woman had not expected such a reaction from him. Her face turned white from anger. “Good, very good,” she sneered.
Then, she picked up the contract from the floor and left.
After she left, Di Jiu calmly looked at another lady, who was standing a stone’s throw away. She had been following the first woman closely. When the middle-aged woman had asked Di Jiu to sign the agreement, the lady had not uttered a single word. She had merely stood there and waited.
Compared to the other woman, this lady was wearing much simpler clothing.
When she saw Di Jiu cast a glance in her direction, she said hurriedly, “Young Master Di, Miss Ziyu told me to come here. If you are available, could you spare a moment to see her?”
“If you have anything to say, just tell me right now,” Di Jiu said unkindly. It was not as if this place was the land of kindness. He seemed to be deeply involved in many matters that concerned Di Zimo.
“Miss Ziyu is in the hospital, and she has a few words she would like to say to you.” The lady’s tone was very respectful. She spoke as if Di Jiu was a royal.
Shen Ziyu has been hospitalized? Although he did not know why Shen Ziyu was in the hospital, he still told the lady, “Let’s go together then.”
He and Shen Ziyu might have gotten divorced, but it didn’t matter to him whether his previous incarnation had left her. He currently did not have any ill feelings for her.
