Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15733 Robbery
Tian Jie, the chief shaman, sat to the right of the main seat, while he himself sat on the left. Since the left is considered the place of honor, even though he was the senior shaman, he, as the host, had to sit in the main seat.

After everyone was seated, Wu Weiren looked at Tian Jie with a smile and said, "Junior Brother Tian, ​​I came here this time because Senior Brother Duan invited you to come over, but I didn't know if you had the time?"

Upon hearing Wu Weiren's words, Tian Jie immediately stood up and said, "It is my honor to be invited by Senior Brother Duan. Even if I don't have time, I will make time. Senior Brother Wu, shall we go now?"

Wu Weiren waved his hand and said, "No rush, please sit down. I have something to say to you." Tian Jie responded and sat down. At this moment, a servant brought tea. Tian Jie invited Wu Weiren to drink tea. Wu Weiren smiled slightly, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then put down the teacup. He looked at Tian Jie and said, "Junior Brother Tian, ​​your Tian family's self-request for external posting seems like a brilliant move, but in reality, it offends everyone and completely severs your family's foundation in the sect. This is an unwise move."

Upon hearing Wu Weiren's words, Tian Jie was taken aback. He then looked at Wu Weiren and said, "Please enlighten me, Senior Brother."

Looking at his expression, Wu Weiren continued, "Senior Brother Duan's reputation in the sect is growing daily, and he intends to reach the pinnacle. He is currently recruiting talents from all over the place. Although the Tian family has requested to be sent to a different location, which Senior Brother Duan does not like, he still thinks highly of your talents and is willing to take good care of you. I wonder what your thoughts are?"

The "care" he mentioned, of course, meant getting Tian Jie and the others to join Duan Jingxu's side. Tian Jie understood what he meant and quickly said, "It is truly our good fortune to be favored by Senior Brother Duan. However, as you know, our Tian family is now down to just a few of us brothers, and our strength is really too weak to be of any help to Senior Brother Duan. Moreover, when the family head left, he gave us a strict order that we could only focus on our cultivation and not cause any trouble. If we disobeyed, they would withdraw all the support our family has given us. So we really have no choice. But please rest assured, Senior Brother Wu, if Senior Brother Duan ever needs anything from us, just give the order, and we will definitely support you with all our might."

Tian Jie's words meant he was rejecting Duan Jingshu's offer of recruitment. They had no choice but to accept it. If they got involved, they would inevitably have to work for Duan Jingshu in the future, which might offend other core disciples. This would not be good for them at all. In the eyes of those core disciples, they were probably not even ants. They could be killed at any opportunity. They had better be careful.

Upon hearing Tian Jie's words, Wu Weiren's expression darkened slightly, but he quickly smiled and said to Tian Jie, "Is this Junior Brother Tian's choice? Very well, I will explain it to Senior Brother Duan when I get back."

Tian Jie's heart skipped a beat. He knew that by saying this, he might have offended Duan Jingshu, but there was nothing he could do about it. If he didn't offend Duan Jingshu, it would be the same as offending all the other core disciples, and he really didn't want that.

Wu Weiren picked up his teacup again, took a sip of tea, and then placed the teacup on the small table. The teacup made a clattering sound, indicating that he had placed it rather heavily. Tian Jie's heart skipped a beat at the sound.

Wu Weiren turned his head again, looking at Tian Jie with a smile, and then said, "Senior Brother Duan has something else to tell you. I've heard that your Tian family has some businesses here in the sect. I know that some people are eyeing these businesses, and I'm quite disgusted by this. If you're willing to accept my help, then I naturally have a reason to protect your businesses from being taken away. But since you're not willing to accept my help, even if I wanted to help, I couldn't. So I've come up with a solution: I'm willing to invest 10,000 spirit items to become a shareholder in your family's businesses. I wonder if you're willing?" After he finished speaking, he looked at Tian Jie.

Upon hearing Wu Weiren's words, Tian Jie's expression changed. He knew that Wu Weiren's visit today was not for anything good. He also realized that they might be after the Tian family's assets. Tian Jie now understood that once the Tian family left, their assets would become a tempting piece of meat, and everyone would want a bite. Although Shen Xing's reputation might deter ordinary people from doing anything to them, it wouldn't frighten someone like Duan Jingshu. That's why Wu Weiren had come today.

From Wu Weiren's words, it was clear that Duan Jingshu wasn't really interested in them; what he was interested in was the Tian family's businesses. If he had previously agreed to surrender to Duan Jingshu, Duan Jingshu would have certainly demanded that he hand over a portion of the Tian family's assets. Seeing that he hadn't agreed, Wu Weiren immediately changed his tune, offering to invest in their businesses. Their businesses generated tens of thousands of spirit stones in profit each month, but Duan Jingshu wanted to invest ten thousand spirit stones, which was practically blatant robbery. How could Tian Jie possibly look happy?

Tian Jie let out a long breath. He then glanced at Wu Weiren and said, "Senior Brother Duan wants to invest in my Tian family's businesses, and we naturally have no reason to object. However, currently, 40% of the shares in our Tian family's businesses belong to Hall Master Shen Xing. We still need to ask Hall Master Shen's opinion. Is that alright?"

Wu Weiren smiled slightly and said, "Junior Brother, you don't need to worry about this. We have already asked, and Hall Master Shen has no objections."

Tian Jie's heart sank again. Shen Xing was indeed unreliable. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Then he stood up, cupped his fists towards Wu Weiren, and said, "Since Hall Master Shen has no objections, I naturally have no objections either. Currently, 60% of the Tian family's assets are still in our hands. We are naturally very grateful for Senior Brother Duan's 10,000 spirit stones for investment. How about this, we are willing to give up 50% of the Tian family's 60% shares to Senior Brother Duan, and our Tian family will keep 10%. I wonder what Senior Brother Wu thinks?" Wu Weiren was stunned when he heard Tian Jie say this. He did not expect Tian Jie to be so decisive, giving up 50% of the shares at once, and only keeping 10% for himself. This could be said to be handing over the Tian family's assets completely. They only kept 10% to save face. If Duan Jingshu wanted to take even this 10%, then Tian Jie would probably give it up as well. But if he really did that, Duan Jingshu's reputation would be completely ruined, so it was absolutely not allowed to do so.

Thinking of this, Wu Weiren couldn't help but smile and say, "Junior brother, you misunderstand. You don't need to be afraid of this. Senior brother Duan thinks that 10,000 spirit stones is enough, as long as you get 40% of the shares, just like Hall Master Shen. Do you agree?"

Tian Jie was taken aback for a moment, then he immediately said, "Agreed, of course we agree. Well then, Brother Wu, we can't let this trip be in vain. We have a suggestion. Why don't you also contribute two thousand spirit stones, and we'll give you ten percent of the shares? We brothers can keep ten percent of the shares ourselves. What do you think, Brother Wu?"

Wu Weiren was genuinely stunned this time. He looked at Tian Jie and asked, "Junior Brother Tian, ​​are you serious?"

Tian Jie immediately replied, "Of course I take it seriously."

Wu Weiren nodded and said, "Alright, it's settled then. Shall we draw up the document now?" Although they are from the cultivation world, such property transfers still require a written agreement. Regardless of how the shares were acquired, with this document in place, the shares in these properties belong to them. This is the legal principle, so the document still needs to be drawn up.

Tian Jie immediately said, "Of course." After saying that, he nodded to Tian Ying, who stood up, bowed to the two of them, and then turned and left. A little while later, Tian Ying returned with a few sheets of paper in his hand, and then handed the papers to Tian Jie.

Tian Jie glanced at the paper and then handed it to Wu Weiren. Wu Weiren took the paper and looked at it. He found that there were four sheets of paper in total. Two of them were about Tian's transfer of 40% of its shares to Duan Jingshu, while the other two were about Tian's transfer of 10% of its shares to Wu Weiren.

Wu Weiren nodded when he saw that there was nothing wrong with the contents of the paper. Then he reached out and Tian Ying immediately handed him a pen. He then signed his name on the paper with the 10% share and handed the paper to Tian Jie.

Tian Jie signed his name on the paper, and then on the other two papers. Wu Weiren picked up the two papers, stood up, and said to Tian Jie, "I'll take the documents to Senior Brother Duan for his signature. After he's signed them, I'll return the papers to you. I'll take my leave now." With that, he walked towards the door, and Tian Jie and the others quickly got up to see him off, escorting him all the way to the door.

After Wu Weiren was seen out, a hint of anger appeared on Tian Ying and the others' faces. Tian Ying snorted coldly and said, "That Duan Jingshu is really ruthless. He actually came to our door to demand our assets. And that Shen Xing is indeed unreliable. We gave him 40% of the shares, but he couldn't even protect us. It's too much."

Tian Jie snorted and said, "Don't be in a hurry. Sooner or later, we will make them pay the price. Anyway, we don't need those things now. If they want them, let them have them. Without those industries, no one will pay attention to us anymore, and we can finally focus on our cultivation."

The group all nodded, and then Tian Hao spoke up: "Brother, do you think other people will use this to attack Duan Jingshu after they hear about this? What if those guys ask us to be a witness again?"

Tian Jie thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "We have to be wary of them wanting us to be witnesses. If they come after us and we become witnesses, it's like we've completely offended Duan Jingshu. If we don't become witnesses, we'll offend the people who come looking for us. It's a real problem. Sigh, we're still too weak. If we were strong enough, no one could touch us. No, we have to think of a way. We can't just wait like this. Otherwise, if that day really comes, it will only be more troublesome. I think we can use this opportunity to save an opportunity for an overseas assignment. What do you think?"
