241st Break: Trust

Ke Lin's lip twitched. What Meng Xing meant is that the Practitioners Alliance would pay them in exchange for information despite the Huichen and Practitioners Alliance being in a cooperative relationship right now.

"Even if it was the Ruyi Palace that introduced the Practitioners Alliance to Huichen – " Ke Lin spoke. " – the Practitioners Alliance still need to pay? No discounts?" he asked.

"If everyone could befriend the Ruyi Palace and the Ruyi Palace would introduce all of them to us, then wouldn't Huichen declare its bankruptcy?" Meng Xing said. "No matter who it is, even if it is His Majesty himself, he still has to pay for whatever services he wanted to employ Huichen for." He said. "That is because we are not their servants. We use our own resources, which we have to pay for ourselves. If they won't pay us, then they can't employ us. Get it?" he asked as he looked at Ke Lin. "You, too. I will also pay you, so don't worry!" he assured Ke Lin.
