Chapter 116 Agreement reached
Hearing this, Xia Yanqing snapped out of her daze.

"This is indeed a new clause we added. Please don't take offense, Ms. Shen. Rest assured, in exchange, we will grant Ms. Shen one request."

As he spoke, Xia Yanqing took a pen out of his pocket and handed it to Shen Baisu, "Miss Shen can add it herself."

Shen Baisu: ?

After staring at Xia Yanqing for two seconds, Shen Baisu asked, "Whatever the requirements?"

Xia Yanqing smiled and replied, "A gentleman's agreement should be within the bounds of law and morality."

After listening, Shen Baisu twirled the pen in her hand and pondered for a moment before saying to Xia Yanqing, "Teaching you is not impossible, but we need to give you a specific number. Is it one person? Two people? Or hundreds or thousands? That way, I can make my demands."

Xia Yanqing listened, paused for a moment, and then smiled and said to her, "I also want to see how many people Miss Shen is willing to teach."

Xia Yanqing isn't exactly a very upright person. He will act in accordance with the agreement to the fullest extent, just like today's agreement. But that doesn't mean he won't try to be clever with the agreement.

If Shen Baisu hadn't brought up the question of how many people to teach, whether it was a few hundred or a few thousand, then he would naturally have chosen a larger number.

However, since Shen Baisu discovered the problem and raised it, he had no choice but to respond.

Shen Baisu clicked her tongue inwardly after hearing Xia Yanqing's answer, which was essentially the same as not answering at all. Then, she said to Xia Yanqing, "Since it's an agreement, let's write it down clearly. Please give me a specific number, Mr. Xia."

After saying that, Shen Baisu turned to that page, picked up his pen, and looked at Xia Yanqing, waiting for his reply.

After listening, Xia Yanqing pondered for a moment and then said, "Then... how about 100 people?"

Shen Baisu: ?

100 people?
No, can you find 100 people with spiritual roots in the entire Xia Kingdom?
Even if we could find it, would Xia Kingdom have enough spiritual energy for so many people?

Seeing Shen Baisu fall silent, Xia Yanqing knew he had raised the number too high, so he probed again, "How about 50 people?"

Shen Baisu: "...Ten people, no more than that."

Xia Yanqing: ?

How many people can be saved by 10 people? That's far too few.
Xia Yanqing was about to say something more when Shen Baisu interrupted her, "Let's reserve 10 for them first. If you can find other people with suitable talents, how about we talk more?"

Xia Yanqing: "...Really, can't there be a few more? Even if we're willing to add one more condition?"

Shen Baisu shook her head, "We can only order ten for now."

Seeing Shen Baisu's resolute attitude, Xia Yanqing felt regretful but could only nod, "Okay, then let's start with 10."

After listening, Shen Baisu immediately made changes to the agreement.

“Alright, now let’s talk about this clause.” With that, Shen Baisu flipped to a page of the agreement, pointed to the words, and asked Xia Yanqing, “The professor is a tenured staff member during this period? What does that mean? Do I still have to go to work?”

Xia Yanqing: "..."

How did you get in touch with someone who works there? Isn't he a tenured employee?

I've secured a government-affiliated position that so many people dream of for you, and you're still not happy?
However, considering Shen Baisu's family background, Xia Yanqing suddenly felt that it was quite reasonable for Shen Baisu not to want to fabricate a story.

Given Shen Baisu's family background, he could live a life of idleness and never work and still not starve.

"This is to make it easier to pay you. Miss Shen taught our people the methods, so we can't let you work for free."

Shen Baisu: "..."

Is that really all there is to it?

Shen Baisu suspected that Xia Yanqing was not telling the truth, so she silently stared at Xia Yanqing for a few seconds.

Xia Yanqing had a faint smile on her lips, appearing upright and honest.

Shen Baisu: "Are you sure you're not trying to recruit me with this?"

Xia Yanqing: "..."

It must be said that he did have this intention. Even if Shen Baisu really taught others, ultimately, his master is still more trustworthy.

Therefore, Xia Yanqing also wanted to hand over Shen Baisu, his master, to the state.

Unfortunately, she didn't seem to be interested, so he could only lure her in step by step.

But how come she noticed it as soon as I put the bait on?
Seeing that Xia Yanqing was silent, Shen Baisu knew she was right. She forced a smile at Xia Yanqing and said, "I'm willing to teach for free, so there's no need for me to be formally employed."

Shen Baisu certainly knew what being formally admitted to the staff meant.

But what's so strange about a cultivator like her working as a laborer?
Seeing that Shen Baisu was so determined to refuse, Xia Yanqing said to her, "Don't be so quick to refuse. Why don't you ask your grandmother and father first?"

If the elders of the Shen family knew about this opportunity, they might help persuade Shen Baisu.

Xia Yanqing genuinely wanted to recruit Shen Baisu into the Special Affairs Bureau.

Shen Baisu: "No need to ask anymore, just cross this one out."

With that, Shen Baisu crossed out the clause.

Xia Yanqing felt a little regretful upon seeing this, but she didn't say anything more.

Shen Baisu found no other problems with the agreement. Xia Yanqing reprinted a copy in front of Shen Baisu, and the two parties signed the agreement.

After the agreement was signed, Xia Yanqing and Xia Long were about to leave, and Shen Baisu also left with Feng Yin.

Chi Hanshuang withdrew from the recording of "Man vs. Wild" due to injury, leaving one less guest among the six groups. Shen Baisu left, which conveniently puts Yu Lan and Si Yu on one team.

So, after discussing it with Mo Qi, Shen Baisu left the deserted island with Feng Yin.

She had two reasons for having to withdraw from the recording.

Reason 1: She had to go with Xia Yanqing to teach people how to cultivate immortality.

Reason two: She really didn't dare leave Feng Yin, this outlaw, alone, so it was better to keep him by her side at all times.

Therefore, Shen Baisu left the deserted island with Feng Yin.

**
Xia Yanqing and Xia Long arrived by yacht, while Shen Baisu and Feng Yin boarded their yacht to leave the island.

After boarding the yacht, the four of them went to the rest area together. During this time, Feng Yin and Xia Long stared at each other, their gazes blazing with tension. Xia Yanqing and Shen Baisu, who were sitting next to them, could sense the intense fighting spirit between them.

Shen Baisu didn't say anything, but Xia Yanqing frowned several times when he saw that the two looked like they were about to fight. Finally, he called Xia Long out of the rest room.

"Director Xia." Xia Long stood straight, waiting for Xia Yanqing's instructions.

Xia Yanqing: "From now on, try to avoid that woman. If you run into her in private, take a detour."

Xia Long: ?
Xia Long was completely stunned. He said incredulously, "She's the one who doesn't know what's good for her. Why should she just swallow her anger and do nothing..."

Xia Yanqing interrupted him, "Can you beat them?"

Xia Long: "..."

It seems like we can't win.

Xia Yanqing: "Knowing that the other party is strong and you can't beat them, you still provoke them several times. This is an extremely foolish thing to do."

Do you really think she wouldn't dare to make a move?

Xia Long: "But..."

Xia Yanqing: "As long as she doesn't break the law or violate regulations, you must not provoke her. This is an order."

Xia Long immediately stood up straight, "Yes!"
