Chapter 147: A Good Idea to Make Money
“Yu Yan, that marriage was agreed upon by our two families back then. Is your Yu family going back on its word?”
“Family Head Han, the marriage back then was just a casual remark. Now that the children each have someone they like, there is nothing wrong with dropping the matter. The relationship between our two families remains as before,” Yu Yan said as patiently as possible.
She didn’t want things to turn ugly; mutual support in the Water Cloud Realm was the best choice for both families.
However, the Han family had their own understanding of this marriage. Han Shilin looked at Han Ting standing beside him. “This child likes Qianqian very much.”
“Shilin, we can be considered friends. If the children aren’t suitable, there’s no need to force it. We…”
Before Yu Yan could finish, Han Shilin shouted, “Kneel!” and Han Ting knelt down right in front of them.
“Did you upset Qianqian somehow? I told you to cultivate properly and not associate with random people. Apologize to me.”
The harsh tone and gloomy expression looked as if he wished he could beat the person to death. Yu Yan couldn’t stand watching it, the expression on her face retracting.
She wouldn’t say it was her daughter’s problem, nor would she say it was Han Ting’s problem. She simply looked at Han Shilin. “There was no contract established for the marriage back then, nor were tokens exchanged. Let this matter end here.”
Her tone was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
Han Shilin knew Yu Yan well; she looked gentle, but once she decided on something, she would absolutely not change it.
Kneeling on the ground, Han Ting laughed when he heard her words. Han Shilin’s sharp, oppressive gaze swept over him, and he raised his hand to deliver a slap.
Yu Yan looked at the child kneeling on the ground, thought of the information Yu Lan had found, and sighed slightly in her heart.
“Han Shilin, whether this marriage happens or not depends solely on Qianqian’s wishes. It’s useless for you to take your anger out on the child.” She raised her hand to deflect the pressure on Han Ting. “Moreover, all of this now has nothing to do with them. Don’t make me look down on you.”
Her words made Han Shilin lose face completely. “Good, good, good.”
After saying “good” three times, he turned and left. Leaving Han Ting kneeling alone, Yu Yan glanced at him.
“The marriage was decided by us adults back then. Regarding that child’s death, you can blame us.” But I absolutely cannot let my Qianqian bear these burdens.
Han Ting understood the implication in her words perfectly, simply lowering his head to hide the look in his eyes.
The marriage was thoroughly dissolved, and both sides gained their freedom. But Han Ting didn’t feel free; instead, he fell into a deeper vortex and confinement.
As the other party involved, Yu Qianqian couldn’t wait to rush to Tianliao Mountain with Lin Qingyue and the others once she learned the matter was resolved.
“When are we going to Tianliao Mountain? With the strength of the few of us, we can leave directly without preparing anything.”
Lin Qingyue pursed his lips, really not wanting to burst her bubble.
The one with strength isn’t you; let’s prepare a bit. His expression was too obvious. Yu Qianqian was a bit unconvinced, but looking around, she realized she was indeed the one with the lowest cultivation.
Lin Qingyue found it funny. A lightbulb went off, and he suddenly thought of a way to make money. He spoke to Yu Qianqian and Li Jing.
“I have a good method to make money. Do you guys want to hear it?”
Li Jing wasn’t interested, but Yu Qianqian’s eyes lit up. “What method?”
“Ahem.” Lin Qingyue coughed lightly, glanced at his Da Shixiong, and said, “I figure with so many people heading to Tianliao Mountain, there must be robbers. How about we do a ‘sting operation’—black-on-black (rob the robbers)?”
It just so happened they had Ye Jingxian, Ming Yu, and Yuan An with them.
When his idea came out, everyone fell silent.
Yuan An and the others: “We can do that?” Although it’s not very moral, the spirit stones we could get are truly too tempting.
Yu Qianqian and Ming Yu hadn’t expected this to be his idea, and for a moment, they didn’t know what to say.
Only Ye Jingxian disapproved. “Xiao Shidi, doing this, how are we any different from those who rob cultivators?”
“Of course, it’s different.” Lin Qingyue decided to reason properly with his Da Shixiong.
“We aren’t actively robbing others. We’re just resisting a bit after accidentally encountering a robbery. Incidentally removing harm for the people and returning peace to the fellow Daoists.”
Our original intention is so considerate of others, so good. This is doing a good deed; how can it be lumped together with those people?
Ye Jingxian fell silent. Lin Qingyue continued his efforts. “Da Shixiong, when the time comes, we split the spirit stones equally. We get money and solve troubles for the fellow Daoists.”
Before even heading to Tianliao Mountain, Lin Qingyue had already planned what to do. Ye Jingxian was eventually swayed by him and agreed to the proposal.
Tianliao Mountain had a treasure appearing, causing people to gradually gather there.
For the sake of his grand plan to earn spirit stones, Lin Qingyue and Li Jing seriously played the role of a rich family’s foolish sons.
Their cultivation was all at the Golden Core stage. To make it look more realistic, they also called along the Foundation Establishment stage Yu Qianqian to act as bait with them.
Lin Qingyue planned to put away all his swords, or hand them to his Da Shixiong, and hold a flashy magical artifact instead to look wealthy. Yu Qianqian’s saber was also swapped for an array disk. Looking at them now, the three looked exactly like Shixiongs and Shimei from a rich sect—the kind with no real strength.
“Da Shixiong, you take Bai Dou and stay far away with Ming Shixiong and the others. Wait until someone takes the bait, then we’ll call you, and you rush over.”
The place they chose was another fork in the road entering Tianliao Mountain, Feng Wan Kou.
This road was closer and a bit remote, but the chance of encountering monster beasts was small.
Lin Qingyue and Li Jing chatted idly, talking about Luo Wuhen and the Jiuban Mian.
“I feel like giving the Jiuban Mian to Fellow Daoist Luo like that was too hasty. Li Shidi, what do you say?”
Hearing this topic, Li Jing subconsciously retorted, “Not hasty at all.” My Little Martial Uncle is worth it; I’m willing.
“Look at you, how many good things have you given him? You give things away, yet he still doesn’t like you. If it really doesn’t work, let’s change to someone else,” Lin Qingyue said half-truthfully with a disapproving tone.
Li Jing pursed his lips. How can liking someone be changed just like that?
“No, I won’t change. I just like him alone.”
Yu Qianqian hugged Bai Dou, eating a spirit fruit while listening to them talk, looking innocent and naive.
Hiding at the narrow intersection, Black Wind and his men exchanged glances, confirming the three were at most Golden Core. Even if one was hiding their cultivation, they were still Golden Core.
“It’s only been half an incense stick of time; how come more people are here?”
Usually, the next wave didn’t come this quickly.
To be cautious, Black Wind decided not to act. But Lei Hu beside him wanted to continue.
“Big Brother, a pile of people have been coming to Tianliao Mountain recently. The closer the time gets, the more people come. How could there be a trap? Looking at those three, they’re fat sheep. It would be a pity to let them go.”
“Their cultivation is at most Golden Core. Big Brother, you are Nascent Soul, and there’s us; what are we afraid of? Besides, if word gets out that we stop robbing halfway, with fewer people coming here, we won’t get anything.”
Black Wind thought about it. “What you say makes some sense.”
The six of them struggled for a bit but finally decided to act.
A wall of earth suddenly appeared on the ground, and a crack opened beneath Lin Qingyue and the others’ feet. Caught off guard, the three almost fell in.
“Who are you people? What do you want?” Lin Qingyue didn’t forget to pull Yu Qianqian while dodging to the side. “Shimei, are you okay?”
Li Jing was unluckier and almost fell in.
“Hahaha, nothing much, just want to make friends with you.”
The leader, Black Wind, finished speaking, his face changed, and the conversation turned sharp. “Take out all the spirit stones and treasures on your bodies, otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t pass this Feng Wan Kou today.”
Li Jing frowned: “If you want money, just ask for money. Why set these traps?”
Lin Qingyue: ???
This is the legendary natural talent; no need to act, just hold back a little.
His one sentence silenced both groups.
“What are you looking at me for?” Li Jing glared back. “If you want money, I’ll kindly donate some. What’s with the traps? What if we got hurt? Do you know my dad is… mph…”
