As long as you pay enough, I can take down the Eastern Depot's chief, the Embroidered Uniform Guard's commander, or even a grandmaster. I'll crush them all! Mysterious stranger: “Help me escort the orphan of the disgraced crown prince south to Jiangnan. There'll be countless experts along the way.” Jia Xiaobao: “Twenty thousand taels.” Mysterious stranger: “Scared? The Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard are sending their elite troops!” Jia Xiaobao: “Then pay me more!” Before he knew it, Jia Xiaobao had risen to the pinnacle of the world, with beauties like Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai by his side. He had no regrets in this life!
