"Yuehua... Did he... Did the Lord agree?"
Bai He swallowed hard and asked cautiously.
Tang Yuehua glanced at Luo Nan, and Luo Nan nodded slightly, signaling her to speak.
"Uncle, Luo Nan and I have discussed it. Moon Pavilion will take care of the Speed Clan's difficulties."
Tang Yuehua said in a firm tone.
Hearing this, Bai He only felt a buzzing in his head, and a wave of wild joy instantly surged into his heart.
He was trembling with excitement, and tears welled up in his eyes again:
"Thank you! Thank you, Yuehua! Thank you, Lord! The Speed Clan will never forget your great kindness!"
"Uncle, don't rush to thank us yet."
Tang Yuehua changed the subject, her expression turning solemn.
"We can help you, but I won't give you a single coin directly."
"Ah?"
Bai He was stunned, the wild joy on his face instantly freezing, and he looked at Tang Yuehua somewhat at a loss.
Not giving money? Then how will you help?
Tang Yuehua looked at Bai He and said earnestly:
"Uncle, give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, but teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
"If I give you money directly, that's called charity."
"The Speed Clan is a proud Spirit Master Family, and I believe you don't want your clansmen to become beggars who only know how to wag their tails for pity, right?"
Hearing this, Bai He's old face flushed red, and he lowered his head in shame.
Tang Yuehua was right; if he weren't truly driven to a dead end, how could he possibly lower this old face to ask for money?
"Therefore, Luo Nan and I have decided that Moon Pavilion will officially employ the Speed Clan."
Tang Yuehua laid out Luo Nan's plan.
"Moon Pavilion has a large number of confidential letters and important intelligence to transmit every day, and I need a team that is absolutely loyal and extremely fast."
"The Speed Clan's Needle Tailed Swift Spirit is precisely the most perfect choice."
Tang Yuehua looked at Bai He, her tone filled with trust:
"Uncle, I plan to first employ ten capable clansmen from the Speed Clan to be responsible for Moon Pavilion's intelligence transmission work."
"I will offer them a salary slightly higher than the market price. It's impossible to completely support the entire Speed Clan, but it's enough to resolve your urgent crisis."
"If we need more manpower later, as long as the Speed Clan's people are competent, Moon Pavilion is willing to give you priority."
"What do you think? Can you accept this form of cooperation?"
After listening to Tang Yuehua's words, Bai He was completely dazed.
He originally thought that being able to beg for a lifesaving sum of money would already be something to thank the heavens and earth for.
But he never imagined that Tang Yuehua and Luo Nan were not only willing to help them, but also provided them with a job that was so decent, so important, and could even be said to concern Moon Pavilion's core secrets!
How could this be considered mere employment?
This was clearly treating the Speed Clan as their own people, giving them a chance to stand up again and re-integrate into the Spirit Master's world!
Bai He knew better than anyone in his heart that if he just took a sum of money back today, the clansmen might be grateful to Tang Yuehua, but that kind of gratitude would be short-lived.
But now, under the circumstance that all forces across the continent dared not employ them for fear of offending Spirit Hall, Moon Pavilion actually withstood the pressure and extended an olive branch to them, giving them dignity and hope.
You must know that Moon Pavilion dared to hire them right under the pressure of Spirit Hall!
This kindness was as heavy as Mount Tai!
Of course, what Bai He and outsiders did not know was that Spirit Hall no longer paid any attention to the Clear Sky Sect and its four affiliated Sects...
"No problem! Of course no problem!"
Bai He stood up abruptly with excitement, patting his chest to guarantee.
"Yuehua, Lord, rest assured!"
"Although our Speed Clan has fallen on hard times, our backbone is still here!"
"When it comes to delivering letters and intelligence, there is definitely no one faster than us in this world!"
"As long as we are here, Moon Pavilion's intelligence network will be absolutely foolproof!"
"Whoever dares to leak even half a word, I, Bai He, will split them alive with my own hands!"
Looking at Bai He's eyes that radiated brilliance once more, Tang Yuehua smiled with relief.
"Alright, since Uncle has agreed, then it's settled."
Tang Yuehua turned her head and instructed the maid outside the door.
"Go call Steward Aode over, and have him take Uncle to the side hall to finalize the contract details of the cooperation, and by the way, advance half a year's salary for Uncle to take back."
"Yes, Madam."
Bai He left with the maid, expressing thousands of thanks.
His once hunched back finally straightened up once again at this moment.
He knew that the Speed Clan was finally saved!
And Bai He was also very clear that the one who saved the Speed Clan was Yuehua!
The kindness of Yuehua and Lord Luo Nan can never be fully repaid!
Watching Bai He's departing figure, Luo Nan walked behind Tang Yuehua, gently wrapped his arms around her waist, and rested his chin on her shoulder.
"How is it? The idea your man came up with isn't bad, right?" Luo Nan laughed softly.
Tang Yuehua turned around, hooked her arms around Luo Nan's neck, her eyes filled with tenderness and love:
"It's more than just not bad. Luo Nan, thank you for not only helping Uncle, but also preserving his dignity."
"Besides that, it also solved the problem of Moon Pavilion's critical intelligence transmission."
"We are Family, why say such things." Luo Nan lowered his head and kissed Tang Yuehua's red lips.
Tang Yuehua was so happy she was dancing with joy.
...
Time flew like a white horse passing a gap, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a year quietly slipped away.
Heaven Dou City, Moon Pavilion.
Today's Moon Pavilion had an atmosphere completely different from its usual elegance and tranquility; the entire top floor was shrouded in a tense yet expectant atmosphere.
All the maids held their breath and placed their footsteps extremely lightly, fearing that making the slightest sound would disturb the people in the inner room.
Because today was the day Tang Yuehua, the master of Moon Pavilion, was going into labor.
Outside the delivery room, Golden Scale Blood Butcher Luo Nan, who had always remained calm even if Mount Tai collapsed before him and was decisive in killing, was now pacing back and forth in the corridor like an ordinary, anxious husband.
His eyes, which had once made countless Spirit Masters tremble in fear, were filled with tension and unease at this moment.
His hands clenched into fists from time to time, and then loosened weakly again, a layer of fine sweat even oozing from his forehead.
"Why hasn't the child been born yet? How long has she been in there?"
Luo Nan stopped in his tracks, his brows furrowed tightly, and he couldn't help asking the maid beside him.
The maid was startled and hurriedly answered respectfully:
"Reporting... Reporting to the Lord, Madam has been in for less than half an hour. Women don't give birth that fast."
"You don't need to worry too much. With Granny Ye Ci here, both Madam and the child will definitely be safe."
Hearing the name Granny Ye Ci, Luo Nan's heart settled down a little.
After all, Granny Ye Ci was Douluo Continent's top healing Spirit Master, and her medical skills were also top-notch.
With her here, they could basically rest assured.
"Ah—!"
Tang Yuehua's painful cry suddenly came from inside the delivery room, Luo Nan's heart violently twitched, and he instinctively wanted to push the door open and rush in.
"Lord, you cannot go in! The delivery room has heavy blood qi, and if you go in, it will affect Granny Ye Ci!"
