In the master's study, Qi Tianlong sat at the head of the table.
On the jade table in front of him, there was a contract and the seal of the head of the family.
It is a very formal and solemn event to make an offering.
Not only do both parties have to agree on a salary, but they also have to sign a contract.
Qi Tianlong looked at Ji Tianxing and said seriously: "Master Tianxing, I have never seen you take action before, so I misunderstood you. Please forgive me.
Tomorrow is the martial arts tournament, let’s settle this matter today without going through so many formalities.”
Ji Tianxing sat on the big chair drinking tea and nodded calmly.
Qi Huanzhi stood aside, acting like a little follower, admiring Ji Tianxing.
Qi Tianlong frowned when he saw it, but he didn't know what to say.
"Ahem..."
He cleared his throat and said sternly: "Mr. Tianxing, in the past hundred years, our entire family has not invited anyone to offer sacrifices.
Therefore, we will prepare your treatment according to the specifications of other aristocratic families.
From now on, the Qi family will give you 30 million divine stones every year, or resources of equal value.
In addition, if you have made meritorious deeds or made any contribution to the Qi family, there will be rewards.
And what you have to do is to sit in charge of the Qijia, follow the Qijia’s decisions and arrangements, protect and help the Qijia grow and develop, we must work together..."
Before Qi Tianlong could finish speaking, Qi Huanzhi frowned and interrupted him.
"Dad! Only 30 million sacred stones a year? Are you too stingy?
The man invited by the city lord's palace to worship him has 50 million sacred stones every year.
Our family is the richest man in Qingshan City, so we still have to pay 60 million!"
Ji Tianxing hadn't even negotiated the price yet, but Qi Huanzhi took the initiative to increase the price for him.
Qi Tianlong was so angry that his liver ached. He glared at his son fiercely and yelled through the voice: "Son, where are you from?"
Qi Huanzhi shrank his neck and murmured in a low voice: "Master Tianxing will be worshiped by the Qi family, and we will become one family.
The more benefits you give to others, the more things they will do for us..."
Although his voice was not loud, Qi Tianlong and Ji Tianxing were both strong men, so they could naturally hear him clearly.
Ji Tianxing couldn't help laughing and smiled.
Qi Tianlong almost lost his breath and vomited blood. He glared at Qi Huanzhi fiercely and shouted coldly: "Then 50 million per year, are you satisfied?"
"That's pretty much it." Qi Huanzhi muttered again.
Qi Tianlong's hands shook with anger, he grabbed the Patriarch Seal and wanted to smash it into Qi Huanzhi's face.
Qi Huanzhi didn't realize the crisis, and quickly urged: "Dad, put the seal on it quickly, and it will be done."
Qi Tianlong's face turned darker, he took a deep breath, and said silently in his heart: "I can bear it! After all, he is his biological child..."
After a while, Qi Tianlong and Ji Tianxing signed the contract under the witness of Qi Huanzhi.
There are two contracts, one for each person to keep.
Qi Tianlong bowed to Ji Tianxing and said with a smile: "Master Tianxing, from now on we will be a family. I hope you will put more thought into helping the Qi family to reach a higher level."
Ji Tianxing also returned the gift and said: "Where the responsibility lies, I will do my best."
Qi Tianlong nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "Repay it and free up the west courtyard. From now on, it will be the residence of Tianxing.
Then send two younger and more beautiful maids to scout the living quarters where Tianxing is enshrined."
Qi Huanzhi frowned and said, "Dad, the west courtyard has been idle for more than ten years and has been used as a warehouse. How can you let Master Tianxing live there?
It happened that my Qishi Courtyard was being rebuilt, so I asked the craftsmen to put more effort into building a more luxurious enshrinement courtyard for Master Tianxing to live in.
As for the maids... Mr. Tianxing has never been close to women, and he doesn't even touch the maids of the Divine Fox in Xingyue Tower, so there is no need to arrange..."
Both of Qi Tianlong's decisions were overturned by his son on the spot.
Moreover, Qi Huanzhi also arranged a place for Ji Tianxing to live on his behalf.
Qi Tianlong gritted his teeth in anger, but maintained his grace and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll do as you say."
Qi Huanzhi nodded happily and said, "Dad, you go ahead and work first. I'll take Tianxing for a walk."
"Go, go!" Qi Tianlong waved his hand impatiently and quickly sent Qi Huanzhi away.
One more look at him, one more word from him, and Qi Tianlong couldn't help but want to hit someone.
Afterwards, Qi Huanzhi took Ji Tianxing out of the study and wandered around the Qi Mansion.
Qi Tianlong also called the housekeeper and guards to convey the offering to everyone in the house.
Although Qi Mansion is very large, with more than 4,000 people.
But the news spread quickly, and within an hour, almost everyone knew that the Qi family had invited a young man to worship.
Not long after, another piece of news spread in the mansion.
The young worshipper had a discussion with Ning Siyuan.
The two of them only fought one move in the ring, and Ning Siyuan was defeated.
This news was like a bomb dropped into the lake, causing an uproar immediately.
When many people heard the news, their first reaction was disbelief and thought it was ridiculous.
However, more than a hundred people watched the fight with their own eyes, proving that the news was true.
Thousands of people in Qi Mansion were shocked, full of expectations and curiosity about the young worshipper.
The Qi family's children, servants and guards in the mansion were all discussing this matter.
…
For a whole day, Ning Siyuan did not show up again.
Everyone knew without asking that she must be in seclusion to heal her wounds.
Moreover, she was injured by someone in public, and she couldn't lose her face.
Qi Huanzhi took Ji Tianxing to visit Qi Mansion, and then took him to the east courtyard to stay.
The east courtyard is where he and several direct descendants of the Qi family live.
The Tingfeng Garden next to it is a courtyard with elegant environment and luxurious decoration, used to entertain distinguished guests.
Ning Siyuan and her guards live in Tingfeng Garden.
The two houses were a hundred steps apart, and Qi Huanzhi had no intention of visiting them, which was really heartless.
When night fell, Qi Mansion held a sumptuous banquet.
This is a family banquet, held in the main hall.
Only direct descendants of the Qi family, several deacons and Qi Tianlong's family are eligible to participate.
The purpose of the family dinner is to welcome Ji Tianxing.
At the same time, the direct descendants of the Qi family were also allowed to see Ji Tianxing with their own eyes.
Qin Peipei went to invite Ning Siyuan in person.
The result was just as everyone expected, Ning Siyuan declined on the grounds of doing exercises to heal his injuries.
At the family banquet, Qi Tianlong and his wife showed their friendship as landlords without losing their grace.
The direct descendants of the Qi family all reacted indifferently and silently observed Ji Tianxing.
No one applauded, and no one was stupid enough to come out to cause trouble.
Only Qi Huanzhi was the happiest and was very active.
Ji Tianxing always looked calm, neither humble nor arrogant.
No matter how sumptuous the food and wine are, he only tastes them briefly.
After a family dinner, everyone in the Qi family still didn't know him well enough, and they increasingly felt that his identity was mysterious and his strength was unfathomable.
By late at night, the family dinner was over.
The drunken Qi returned the favor and accompanied Ji Tianxing back to the east courtyard to rest.
However, as soon as the two of them stepped into the east courtyard, they saw a slim figure standing outside Ji Tianxing's door. (To be continued)
