Chapter 107 Consideration
Chapter 107 Consideration
This time, the conditions that Lü Xinyan offered to Peng Yiyun were naturally the result of careful consideration.
Lü Xinyan wouldn't do a losing deal. She's not familiar with Peng Yiyun and the others yet, so there's no real trust between them. Naturally, she needs to think more about herself and her family.
For the time being, Lü Xinyan wouldn't consider such things as personal relationships or favors.
This world is vast, and if they miss this chance, they may never have the opportunity to meet again, and favors and kindness may not be of any use.
Having considered all of this, she now wants some tangible, guaranteed benefits.
Lü Xinyan will only do her best to help if it is beneficial and safer for herself and her family.
Lu Xinyan had already recognized Peng Yucheng and his family, and through this negotiation, she further confirmed her own thoughts.
Knowing that this family was capable, but was currently in dire straits and facing a life-or-death situation, they had no choice but to seek help from others. Therefore, Lü Xinyan intended to lend a hand, but she first needed to find out where the family's bottom line was in order to determine the extent of her assistance.
Although she has a spatial ability, the pills she uses for others are all very valuable, and she doesn't just give them away casually.
To receive better treatment, one must pay the corresponding price.
This time, without her help, Peng Yucheng and Cao Cuizhen would probably have died on the run, just like before.
In fact, the situations of Peng Yucheng and Cao Cuizhen are already quite similar.
Under these circumstances, Lü Xinyan's negotiations with Peng Yiyun put even more pressure on Peng Yiyun.
Knowing the outcome, Lü Xinyan wanted to save people, but she also needed to consider the situation of Peng Yucheng's family and discuss the results she wanted before providing appropriate treatment.
If she could gain the family's loyalty through this treatment, that would be the best outcome for Lü Xinyan.
She could save Peng Yucheng and Cao Cuizhen, and she could also take Peng Yiyun and his two brothers to Dongwei County to save their lives. However, to ensure the safety of herself and her family, and to ensure that Peng Yiyun and his brothers would follow her wholeheartedly and not cause any trouble, Lü Xinyan followed Peng Yiyun's initial words and prepared to accept their indenture.
Peng Yiyun himself had already mentioned this at the beginning, and Lü Xinyan used their method to fulfill their request.
Only by arranging things in this way could Lü Xinyan use her precious medicines to do everything she could to save Peng Yucheng and revive Cao Cuizhen.
Once Peng Yucheng and Cao Cuizhen are saved, the family's fate will change, and they should no longer have to follow the path of becoming outlaws.
Lu Xinyan also remembers that Peng Yucheng's family encountered a very serious misfortune during their escape.
They were fleeing because they had offended someone, and they wanted to blend in with the refugees to confuse the situation and escape this calamity.
Unfortunately, Cao Cuizhen was already in poor health, and she caught a chill during her escape, which worsened her condition, leaving her on the verge of death.
As for Peng Yucheng, they had previously encountered pursuers and had to separate from his son Peng Yiyun and others to escape. During this process, Peng Yucheng was ambushed and poisoned, and his condition became critical as well.
Peng Yucheng's other internal and external injuries are not too serious; he can recover with proper care.
However, if they did not receive timely treatment and detoxification, Peng Yucheng and Cao Cuizhen would both surely die.
Without any other help during their escape, this family will still face their original tragic end.
Among them, the deaths of Cao Cuizhen and Peng Yucheng, as well as the subsequent murders of Peng Yirong and Peng Yitong during their escape from famine, caused them to experience cruel life-and-death separations time and time again. This also caused Peng Yiyun, who had to bear all of this alone, to have a distorted mentality and be filled with hatred.
Later, Peng Yiyun simply joined the ranks of the bandits, and through twisted and cruel scheming, quickly rose to the core power level of the bandits.
By this time, Peng Yiyun's personality had become twisted and dark. He no longer had any compassion and instead harmed the refugees who had fled the famine. In the end, he even formed a rebel army, causing the Great Liang to fall apart. He established his authority through killing and was feared by all.
This terrible experience during his escape completely changed Peng Yiyun, turning him into a ruthless killer.
Such people are indeed very capable, but their twisted minds also make them cause endless harm.
This time, since she had encountered Peng Yucheng's family, Lü Xinyan thought she should keep them under her watchful eye to see if she could adjust things and guide Peng Yiyun onto a different path in life.
As for Peng Yiyun, who might turn to the dark side, Lü Xinyan's primary goal was to get him to follow her, whether he was willing or not was another matter.
Furthermore, Lü Xinyan intends to save Cao Cuizhen and Peng Yucheng, prevent Peng Yirong and Peng Yitong from suffering further misfortune, and protect the family. However, she also needs to make Peng Yiyun remember these favors and pay the price first, handing over the indenture as Peng Yiyun himself said.
Peng Yiyun is very intelligent and ruthless. Lu Xinyan had initially considered eliminating such a person to prevent future troubles, but after thinking about the family's terrible experiences, the secrets Peng Yucheng carried, and Peng Yiyun's filial piety, Lu Xinyan still couldn't bring herself to kill Peng Yiyun, who was still a child and hadn't yet turned evil.
Since that's the case, Lü Xinyan decided to keep the person by her side, keep an eye on her, and observe her future behavior.
Of course, once Peng Yiyun and the others have signed the indenture and given it to her, Lü Xinyan will naturally have other means to restrain Peng Yiyun, know Peng Yiyun's loyalty and potential for corruption, and be able to better prevent problems before they arise.
It was because of this ability that Lü Xinyan chose to keep Peng Yiyun's family, trying to avoid Peng Yiyun's tragedy and descent into darkness.
If these things can be done, then Peng Yiyun will not turn to the dark side and can be cultivated into a more useful talent.
With this in mind, Lü Xinyan decided to keep Peng Yucheng and his group while they were traveling, and to force Peng Yiyun and the others to give her a contract of servitude.
Once Peng Yiyun is willing to fulfill these obligations, Lü Xinyan will naturally take responsibility for reviving Peng Yucheng and Cao Cuizhen.
