I Have Unlimited Dantians-Chapter 40 - 31: Whose Money Is It?

The Nie Tian Branch had been forced to leave the core of the family back then, taking nothing with them. What little foundation they had now was all thanks to Nie Yun’s mother’s efforts. Their total assets probably amounted to only seven or eight thousand taels, and their liquid capital wouldn’t exceed two thousand!

Because this information was no secret, Nie Chao had used his connections after being injured by Nie Yun to issue a punishment order for ten thousand taels of silver!

There was no way their branch could produce ten thousand taels. When the time came, their only choice would be to obediently hand over the Luoshui Golden Shield...

Although Nie Hen hadn’t mentioned it earlier, he knew a bit about this. He just hadn’t expected Nie Chao to go over full of life and come back a vegetable. Then Nie Chaoxing confessed and paid the fine, which left him somewhat confused.

His young master had personally interrogated Nie Chaoxing last night, and Nie Chaoxing had admitted his mistake. Only then did Nie Hen learn that Nie Yun hadn’t taken a single coin, which confirmed the fact that the Nie Tian Branch had no money!

’If they had ten thousand taels, who would risk offending the Law Enforcement Team and an Inner Sect Disciple by fighting back directly?’

It was because he was so certain of this that when Nie Hen heard the youth’s "shameless" words, he couldn’t help but fly into a rage and roar.

"What did you say? If I can produce five thousand taels, you’ll immediately kowtow to me?"

Nie Yun asked, staring intently, not having expected the other party to suddenly make such a statement.

"That’s right. As long as you can produce five thousand taels, not only will I kowtow to you, but everyone here from the Law Enforcement Team will kowtow to you as well. We’ll turn around and leave, and won’t try to arrest you again! However, if you can’t produce it, you must kowtow to us, and obediently return with us to the Law Enforcement Team to accept your punishment!"

Since he was certain the Nie Tian Branch had no money, Nie Hen assumed the other party was just putting on a show. He let out a cold sneer.

"Good. I’ve already recorded what you just said. Do the rest of you agree with his terms?"

Nie Yun held a Crystal Stone capable of recording scenes in his hand, looking doubtfully at the remaining Law Enforcement Descendants.

"We stand with Deputy Captain Nie Hen!"

"The Deputy Captain’s decision is our decision! What, are you scared? If you’ve got the guts, then show us five thousand taels of silver!"

"Haha, don’t tell me you don’t even have that much money! If you can’t produce it, that proves you were lying about giving money to Nie Chao and Nie Chaoxing. Without even a trial, you’ll have to bear the crime of injuring an Inner Sect Disciple and a Law Enforcement Descendant!"

Several of the Law Enforcement Descendants stood up at once, letting out a series of cold sneers.

Seeing that Nie Yun didn’t immediately produce the money and was instead questioning them, they were all convinced he was bluffing and began to mock him without restraint.

"Alright, a deal’s a deal..." Nie Yun smiled faintly. Just as he was about to speak, he felt a tug on his sleeve. He turned to see his mother, Nie Ling, looking at him with a pale face.

"Yun’er, it’s Mom... I’m so sorry..."

"What is it, Mom?" Seeing her expression, Nie Yun was startled.

Nie Yun thought his mother had been injured. He placed his fingers on her wrist but found nothing wrong, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The fifteen thousand taels of silver you had Xiaofeng bring... I... I used all of it for the branch’s shops yesterday. The family... we have no money right now!" Nie Ling said, her face grim.

In his mother’s eyes, the only reason her son had made this bet was because of the fifteen thousand taels of silver he’d had Nie Xiaoling bring over a few days ago. Who would have thought that the branch’s shops had a financial crisis yesterday, and the money was temporarily requisitioned? Now, the cash they had on hand wasn’t just less than five thousand—they didn’t even have one thousand!

’In that case, wouldn’t her son lose the bet because of her?’

"Haha, the truth is out! You can’t produce the money, which means you were lying! Hurry up and come with us! Surely the great successor to the Luoshui Golden Shield isn’t a petty villain who goes back on his word!"

Nie Hen roared with laughter, his arrogance knowing no bounds.

Nie Yun had been using the Luoshui Golden Shield to keep him in check, and now, being able to throw those words back at him felt absolutely fantastic!

"Oh... Mom, you’re worrying too much..."

Seeing his mother like this, Nie Yun remembered that whole affair and couldn’t help but give a wry smile.

’I’d already forgotten about that bit of money I scammed from Nie Liu. I can’t believe Mom still remembers it and thinks it’s some huge fortune...’

"It’s just a little money. I have plenty..."

After speaking, Nie Yun reached into his robe and casually pulled out a gold bar. A moment later, he had easily produced five of them!

One gold bar was ten jin, or 100 taels, equivalent to 1,000 taels of silver. Five bars were worth 5,000 taels of silver!

Of course, Nie Yun didn’t actually have gold bars in his robe; they all came from his Storage Dantian. He only pretended to pull them from his robe to deceive everyone.

"Gold bars... It’s really gold?"

"Five gold bars, five thousand taels of silver..."

"This is impossible! Five gold bars would be fifty jin! How could his clothes support that weight? The gold must be fake..."

The members of the Law Enforcement Team had thought Nie Yun was finished this time. They never expected him to casually pull out five gold bars. All of them turned green with shock and cried out in disbelief.

"Fake? Heh, then are these real?"

With a faint smile, Nie Yun casually tossed out several silver notes.

Each of these silver notes was a large denomination—ten thousand taels per note, and there were six of them!

A full sixty thousand taels of silver!

"These are all silver notes from the Fuyung Money Shop, redeemable for cash. You can go check if you don’t believe me. If you even doubt the silver notes, then I really have to wonder if everything you said earlier was just bullshit!"

Nie Yun put the silver notes away and said nonchalantly.

He had gotten these silver notes from Nie Yu—seventy thousand in total. The items he had auctioned off before had amounted to less than ten thousand, while the Stem Lotus and Fiery Flame Axe had been paid for with the money from auctioning the Yangtze River Triple Wave.

"Gold bars... sixty thousand taels of silver... You... how do you have so much money!"

Staring at the brilliant yellow gold bars on the ground and the silver notes in his hand, Nie Hen and all the Law Enforcement Descendants were completely dumbfounded!

They could claim the gold bars were fake, but these silver notes, bearing the name of a Money Shop, couldn’t possibly be fake!

After all, the Nie Family also had assets in the Fuyung Money Shop. If they claimed these silver notes were fake, wouldn’t that be like discrediting their own family?

"Nie Yun, you win. Let’s go!"

Taking a deep breath, Nie Hen knew that he and his men had lost today. Causing any more trouble would only lead to greater humiliation. With a flick of his sleeve, he turned and strode out.

"Hey, didn’t you say something about kneeling? Did you forget?"

Nie Yun smiled faintly, blocking their path.

"Hmph. Fortunes rise and fall. It’s best to leave a way out for others and not go too far!" Nie Hen flung his hand, grinding his teeth so hard they audibly clicked.

"Too far? Heh, it seems to me you were the ones who went too far. What, were the words you spoke earlier just bullshit?" Nie Yun ignored his threat and replied coolly.

"You..."

Veins bulged on Nie Hen’s forehead, and his fists cracked as he clenched them.

"Yun’er, I think we should just let it go..."

Seeing their reaction, his mother Nie Ling was afraid things would escalate and gently tugged on Nie Yun’s sleeve again.

"Alright, since my mother has spoken, you can go. In the future, don’t come here if you have business, and especially don’t come here if you don’t. I’m afraid I might not be able to stop myself from making you kneel, and that wouldn’t be very fun..."

Seeing his mother intervene, Nie Yun gave a casual wave of his hand.

’Honestly, if he weren’t afraid of worrying his mother, he wouldn’t have made things so complicated today. They were just a few Law Enforcement Descendants. With his personality from his past life, if anyone dared to cause him trouble, he wouldn’t have hesitated to kill every last one of them!’

’In any case, there was no longer any possibility of reconciliation between them. Rather than pretending to be a good person, it would be better to solve the problem once and for all!’

’Of course, his mother had toiled for the branch for so many years, and he didn’t want her to live in fear anymore. So he had to handle it in a way that left no room for blame.’

"Let’s go!"

Hearing the young man’s final words, Nie Hen, though grinding his teeth in hatred, couldn’t say anything more. He and his men picked up the two "vegetables" from the floor and quickly left the courtyard.

"Yun’er, what’s the deal with all this money? How do you have so much? You haven’t done anything that violates the clan rules or morality, have you...?"

After they left, his mother looked at her son, her face full of anxiety.

Her greatest fear was that her son had gone astray.

"Heh, don’t worry. I came by all this money honestly..." Nie Yun felt another bead of sweat roll down his back as he boasted shamelessly.

’He had either scammed the money or knocked out Nie Yu and robbed him. How could he possibly tell his mother that? If he really told her, she’d be scared to death...’

"Honestly? How did you get it honestly? I’ve been managing the branch for so many years and have never earned this much money. Where did you get it?"

It seemed his mother wasn’t so easy to fool. She continued to press him.

"Well..." Nie Yun scratched his head, starting to feel cornered.

’Mom was so easy to fool when it came to Cultivation Techniques, so why was she so hung up on a little money?’

Nie Yun didn’t realize that this was just a mother’s love. When her son showed promise, a mother would naturally be happy and wouldn’t pry too deeply. But when her son suddenly came into a large, inexplicable sum of money, she feared he had made a mistake and would naturally investigate it thoroughly!

"Nie Yun, I saw people from your Clan Law Enforcement Team just now. Are you in some kind of trouble?"

Just when he didn’t know how to explain, a questioning voice suddenly rang out from the front of the hall. Nie Yun turned, his eyes lighting up. "Ah, Mom, this money isn’t actually mine! It belongs to Yangg Yan! If you don’t believe me, ask him..."

The newcomer was none other than Yangg Yan. He had now completely stabilized his Cultivation at the Qi Sea Fifth Layer Body Emergence Realm Early Stage. A sharp glint of vital energy was faintly visible in his eyes, and his every move carried a powerful aura.

It seemed that he had not only broken through in his Cultivation, but his Mental Realm had also advanced. At this rate, it probably wouldn’t be long before his strength increased again!

"Mine? What’s mine...?"

Before Yangg Yan could even react, he had been sold out by Nie Yun, left to face a very confused Nie Ling on his own...
