Chapter 1287: Reaching a Compromise
"Ye Bufan was truly amused by her. He'd never seen a robber like this before, one who actually asked to write an IOU after robbing you.And the amount of money was requested properly, with both whole a..."What, this artifact's function is so powerful"
Although I had already sensed that this hairpin was a spiritual artifact, I was still taken aback by its powerful capabilities in the future.
She held the phoenix-head hairpin in her hand, silently reciting incantations. In an instant, a fireball the size of a palm appeared in her hand.
Although this is just a simple fireball spell, the speed is almost half as fast as usual, and the energy contained in the fireball has increased considerably.
“This…this…this is actually true.”
The future is shocking, to say the least. As a cultivator, she naturally knows what it means for spellcasting speed to be increased by 30%. At critical moments, this kind of speed could be life-saving.
For example, last time she was ambushed by Ka'en. If she had this Phoenix Head hairpin on her, she would have had enough time to react and wouldn't have been taken hostage.
She swallowed nervously, calming herself from the shock, and then returned the phoenix-head hairpin to Ye Bufan.
"Doctor Ye, this gift is too expensive, I can't accept it."
As a master of Taoism, she was well aware of the value of artifacts. This phoenix-head hairpin could be described as priceless.
"I already said it's a gift for you, what's there to be polite about"
Ye Bufan sent the Phoenix Head hairpin out of sympathy for the future and the Tu people. He had no other thoughts.
"Doctor Ye, this really can't be done. Your gift is too expensive, I can't accept it."
Although Future liked it, he ultimately chose to shake his head and refuse.
Seeing the determined expression on her face, Ye Bufan secretly sighed in his heart, the Tu people still couldn't change their kind and compassionate nature.
If it were an ordinary cultivator, they wouldn't even dare to snatch it, let alone refuse what they had gotten.
“Well then, I’ll give you this phoenix hairpin, and in return, you promise me one thing.”
Unable to do anything else, he could only change his way of sending the Phoenix Headdress out.
"Wei Lai said sincerely, 'Brother Ye, you've helped our Tu people so much. Just tell us if there's anything we can do for you. You don't need to bring gifts.'"
“I have my principles, you must accept them.” Ye Bufan said. “I am a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and the next step is to promote the TCM industry to the United States. I want to wait until after your Tujia people get the land to help me grow medicinal herbs.”
As for price, I guarantee your clan's earnings will be double what you would make growing other crops.
"Doctor Ye..."
The future is uncertain, and I don't know what to say because she...

It's obvious that Ye Bufan isn't asking them to do anything. He's giving the Tu people favors.
Growing the same crops, but the profits are double that of other crops. It's such a good thing, you can't even ask for it.
I know what you're thinking, don't oversimplify the issue.
You also know that the medicinal herb industry is very important. If I find someone else to grow them, the key thing is that they might raise prices arbitrarily or sell the herbs to someone else, cutting us off. Those are life-or-death situations.
Only you and your people can make me completely believe, without a worry in the world.
Ye Bufan was indeed thinking what he had said. The entry of the traditional Chinese medicine industry into the US would inevitably touch on the interests of many people. If things went wrong, those people might try to cut off his supply of raw materials by disrupting medicinal herb planting. That would be a very serious matter.
But if this were left to the Tu people, there wouldn't be such a situation. Whether it was for the future or Wood, the character displayed would be trustworthy.
"Well then, Big Brother Ye, thank you. Our Tu people will definitely not disappoint you."
As they talked, a glimmer of moisture appeared in Future's eyes. In her view, this man was going out of his way to help her.
Since the last generation of saintesses was tricked by Saint Laurence, the Tuz people have made up their minds to not easily trust outsiders.
Especially these years, having been oppressed and bullied constantly, my guard has grown stronger and stronger.
And at this moment, her heart was touched by Ye Bufan, and she changed his address from "Doctor Ye" to the more intimate "Brother Ye".
"Well, I don't need this anyway, you keep it."
Ye Bufan said and passed the Phoenix Head hairpin over. This time, Weilai didn't refuse politely. After taking it, she carefully inserted it on top of her head.
Soon, the two arrived at the front gate of the Laurence family's ancient castle. Due to having called ahead, George and his father, Philip, had been waiting there long in advance.
After seeing the future, the father and daughter first expressed their remorse and sincerity, then warmly welcomed Future into the castle.
"In the future, Miss, I would like to represent the mistakes made by my ancestors and sincerely apologize to you, the people of the Tu ethnic group."
After entering, George and Philip bowed deeply to the future.
“Our Lawrence family is fully willing to make compensation to your Tu people to express our sincerity, and we are even more willing to become friends with the Tu people.”
"Well, on behalf of the Tujia people, I accept your apology."
After saying that, the future let out a long sigh, her body...

It felt like a mountain had been lifted from my shoulders.
For centuries, this hatred has tormented not only the Lawrence family but also the Tu people.
Just as great men of old have said, in letting go of others, we also let go of ourselves.
Subsequently, under Ye Bufan's witness, both parties initiated reconciliation talks.
Regarding the three requests made for the future, George readily agreed to them.
To show his sincerity, he even proactively raised the compensation to $15 billion, and also allocated a vast expanse of fertile land outside Apple City to the Tu people for their farming use.
Mr. George, these two conditions show me your sincerity.
But the most important thing is the first: only when we retrieve the Golden Staff will our tribe accept a truce, and only then will you be able to lift the blood curse.
"That..."
George didn't have the Golden Staff in his possession right now. If he did, he would have returned it without hesitation. Now, he could only awkwardly look at Ye Bufan.
"In the future, it will be like this, the Golden Staff is not currently in the Lawrence family..."
"Ye Bufan recounted the entire situation from beginning to end, and finally said, "We will be setting off immediately to retrieve the Golden Staff from the Valley of Death and return it to your Tu tribe."
"Future was silent for a moment, then said: “Brother Ye, I believe you. But I also want to go with you, and personally bring back the sacred artifact of our Earth tribe.” "
"Okay."
Ye Bufan readily agreed, and the Lawrence family naturally had no objections.
After the two sides had reached an agreement, George called in Captain Novak: "How is everything prepared"
"To my master, everything is ready. The four off-road vehicles are all specially modified vehicles with bulletproof designs and superior off-road capabilities."
Supplies were also very well-prepared, enough for 15 people to survive in the wild for a month.
George nodded in satisfaction: "This time we're going to Death Canyon, it's very dangerous. How are the manpower and weaponry preparations"
Besides me leading the team personally, I have also handpicked 10 members from the family guard. They have all reached the peak of the Earth Rank in cultivation.
Besides, all kinds of weapons are fully equipped. As long as we don't encounter a large-scale army, we have the power to fight and can definitely protect the safety of the young lady.
When it came to the strength of his squad, Novikov wore an air of confident arrogance.
(The End)d originally thought that the next head of the family would inevitably be himself, and naturally, he was unwilling to have it snatched away by Watanabe Keiko.Furthermore, he was too young and, having...
