Ye Tianyi knew of the burden Ye Xian’er was carrying and how much pressure she was under. The previous Ye Tianyi may have been a scum, but now, he had to do something about it.

Sis Hong crossed her legs and revealed a nice view. She looked at Ye Tianyi and said, “Come in and have fun. We’ll talk while enjoying ourselves.”

Ye Tianyi smiled awkwardly and said, “Forget it, perhaps next time. I’m broke.”

And he was broke indeed. Once a week, Ye Xian’er would give him a bit of money, but it was already wasted by the original host the day he crossed over. Ye Xian’er treated him well. Under such circumstances, she still gave him ten thousand as pocket money. Apart from the wealthy, only a prominent family would receive such treatment in a remote empire like the Tensui Empire.

Ye Xian’er had treated him well enough, but Ye Tianyi was a scum through and through. Even with ten thousand in pocket money, he would still request for more. While she never wanted to give in, she always felt that it was her responsibility as his sister to take care of Ye Tianyi. As for whether or not he would still ask for more, of course she had thought about it, but she had no other choice. She once tried strict discipline and stopped giving him money, but he resorted to stealing and robbing instead. Furthermore, he had a group of unsavory friends out there issuing IOUs…

She was left with no choice. She always felt that people would eventually grow up, and that he would eventually understand. Yes, deep in her heart, she always had high expectations for Ye Tianyi. After all, she grew up with Ye Tianyi and knew that he was not a bad person by nature. At the very least, he would not kill another person. She always thought that Ye Tianyi was a kind person at heart and would eventually turn over a new leaf.

“Could Young Master Ye ever be broke? The young ladies in my shop like you the most. You’re the only customer who still gives tips,” Sis Hong smiled.

Ye Tianyi scratched his head without a word.

What an idiot. His sister worked so hard but he was fooling around and giving out tips. What else could he be but an idiot?

But it was different now. Ye Tianyi wanted to share Ye Xian’er’s burden.

“Sis Hong, you have the best information network around. I heard that there’s a unit in the Scarlet Legion recruiting members for a mission? And if the mission is completed, everyone gets a five hundred thousand reward,” Ye Tianyi asked.

Sis Hong was about 30 years old with a pretty appearance. Although she was running such a business, Ye Tianyi knew that she was very well-informed. Besides, she was well connected to people of power from high positions in Tensui Sacred City. She was most definitely not as simple as she seemed on the surface. At the very least, her news and information was probably the most accurate Ye Tianyi could find to fix his current situation.

“There’s such a thing indeed. They’re expected to head out the day after tomorrow. Why? Is Young Master Ye…”

Ye Tianyi smiled and said, “That’s right. I’m thinking of joining them, but I can’t seem to get in touch with those people. Sis Hong, didn’t you mention before that you knew the captain of the Scarlet Legion? I’d like to ask for your help.”

Sis Hong frowned before she put down her crossed legs and looked at Ye Tianyi.

“Young Master Ye, it isn’t impossible, but the minimum recruitment standard for the Scarlet Legion’s Team Seven is a level-5 Bright Aperture stage martial artist, so…”

“Don’t worry, Sis Hong. I’ll definitely meet the requirements. Can I trouble Sis Hong to pass on the message? They can decide on the location and there would be no problem if they request for an interview or whatever.”

Sis Hong looked at Ye Tianyi in surprise. Was he not a notorious wastrel? And he was only at the Qi Establishment stage at this age. How could he ever meet the requirements?

“Alright, I’ll help you, but don’t lie to Sis Hong. The minimum requirement is level-five Bright Aperture stage.”

Ye Tianyi nodded, “Thank you, Sis Hong.”

Currently, he was a level-five Qi Establishment stage, but once the mission rewards were issued, he would be a level-five Bright Aperture stage. At the age of 19, that would be considered average, but quite acceptable.

“Mm, I’ll give you the reply tomorrow, but the labor fee…”

Sis Hong smiled and rubbed her hands.
