Indeed, who with any money would talk like that... How embarrassing!
Zhao Yue continued, "Not only that, but when it was time to pay, he asked where he could make money around here... It's like sharpening your weapon only once you're on the battlefield. Do you think that's possible? And he even chose horse taming to make money..."
Sun Hong widened her eyes: "That's it, this guy is definitely going to get kicked until he's bruised and swollen."
Zhao Yue smiled, "That Scarlet, even the best beast tamer in Baiyan City hasn't succeeded, and here's this twenty-something prodigal son thinking of trying, isn't that a dream? He even bought feed, bought what, f—"
Before she could finish, she saw the young man, who had appeared in front of them at some unknown time, frowning slightly and looking displeased: "You didn't prepare the feed?"
"The young master needs to pay first before I can prepare it..."
Crying out about horse taming, and now he comes back without a scratch; no need to think about it, he must have been scared, he didn't go, which means... he hasn't made any money!
Without money, he's just a poor ghost, why should you give him face?
Before she finished speaking, she saw the young man, who previously could only afford enough feed for one meal, casually pull out a stack of Origin Notes from his pocket and hand them over: "I don't know if this is enough!"
Zhao Yue took them, glanced at them, and involuntarily her pupils shrank sharply.
These Origin Notes, each with a denomination of 5000, a full stack, amounted to 20 notes!
That is... a total of one hundred thousand Origin Currency! ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel-fire.net
She earns around 600 Origin Currency a month, one hundred thousand is nearly 14 years of her income...
To call such a person, who could not afford feed, a 'poor ghost'...
"Enough, enough! There's no need for all this..."
Shrinking back, Zhao Yue tremulously took out two notes, gave the change, and returned the remainder to him, while a question emerged in her mind.
Wasn't he just out of money?
How did he get so much in less than two hours?
Could it be, really, he succeeded in horse taming, winning the reward?
If so... that's too scary!
Realizing all this, she looked again at the young man before her, her eyes no longer disdainful but filled with deep shock and awe.
Blending the feed wasn't too troublesome, and it didn't take long. A month's worth of feed was prepared, and Zhang Xuan recited the address, with someone from Jiazi Square to make the delivery.
Not wanting to argue with a mere servant, Zhang Xuan turned to the servant, "Take me to the physician who specializes in treating horses; I have some matters to consult!"
"This way, Young Master Zhang..."
The servant, no longer displaying the earlier disdain, was now full of admiration.
As the two walked away, Sun Hong seemed to understand Zhao Yue's thoughts, and she smiled slightly, "You don't really think he earned all that prize money from horse taming, do you?"
Zhao Yue was startled: "Isn't it?"
Sun Hong smiled faintly as if looking at a fool. "As far as I know, even if you manage to tame Scarlet, the reward is only ten thousand Origin Currency! To produce so much at once, did he tame 20 horses like the Thousand-Li Horse Scarlet?"
Zhao Yue was dumbfounded.
Sun Hong: "Not to mention that he's unharmed, just the fact that it hasn't even been two hours. Even Grand Horse Tamer Zhou Qun couldn't possibly tame twenty horses in that time! So... if I guess right, he must have gone home to get it. Is it so hard for a scion of a major family to suddenly pull out some cash?"
Zhao Yue had a sudden realization, her face full of resentment: "I thought just now he was a Grand Beast Tamer, full of admiration; turns out he's just a coward with a good family and background who likes to put on airs... Hmph, just so happens I know Master Zhou and have met him a few times. He absolutely despises people like that, I must tell him at an opportunity..."
While Zhao Yue was still muttering, Sun Hong's eyes bulged, nearly popping out, staring off into the distance.
Slightly puzzled, Zhao Yue looked up, her pupils also sharply contracting.
She saw that Zhou Qun, whom she had just mentioned, along with several well-known horse tamers, encountered the young man in the hall and, without much fuss, all knelt on one knee, their voices loud, reaching for the ceiling.
"We meet... Master Zhang!"
Zhou Qun is one of the top horse tamers in Baiyan City, now directly kneeling to this young man, what exactly is going on?
Zhao Yue and Sun Hong looked at each other, frozen in place, completely dumbfounded.
