Chapter 1194 - 1194 59 Devoted Loyalty_3

Chapter 1194: Chapter 59: Devoted Loyalty_3 Chapter 1194: Chapter 59: Devoted Loyalty_3 Xu the Third rolled his eyes.

Feng Yin, however, was speechless for quite a while and felt moved, warmth flooding his heart.

That these two men, terrified of their wives, took such an action only showed that their ‘loyalty’ had penetrated deep into their bones, indestructible.

“Here are the bank drafts and gold notes. With these, you can access funds from any of Great Qin’s banks across the continent anytime without any issues.”

Xu the Fourth solemnly promised again and again.

…

Two disciples of Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace, who were married to the two men, were facing Dong Xiaoyan, “Little princess, Xu the Third and Xu the Fourth are truly honest. All these years, they really haven’t touched a single penny… We check the accounts every year, and everything has always been exactly right…”

Dong Xiaoyan felt a deep tenderness in her heart and softly said, “You’ve worked hard.”

“It’s not hard, it’s not hard. Though we married and left the palace life with its mundane concerns, we’ve always worried about these two. Despite their honest demeanor and pure hearts, we didn’t know if they could withstand the temptations of worldliness. After living with them all these years, we truly feel reassured. We must also thank you, little princess. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have found such good men to spend our lives with.”

“It’s your fate and fortune, beneficial for both you and them.”

Dong Xiaoyan paused, then asked, “How is the child?”

“The child’s talents are quite ordinary.” Both disciples looked distinctly disappointed.

“Never mind, I’ll have him… um, make arrangements to help the child, and then I’ll step in to reintegrate the child into the Cloud Palace. What do you two think?”

The two women were overjoyed, kneeling immediately, “Thank you, little princess!”

The selection of disciples at the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace was extremely strict.

Although these two women were considered geniuses in the eyes of ordinary practitioners, they were merely Outer Sect disciples in the Cloud Palace, essentially like noble daughters being trained with personal attendants.

Their children’s capabilities were even less impressive than the women’s, obviously not meeting the standards for entry into the Cloud Palace.

They had never dreamed that such an opportunity would arise.

Overwhelmed with joy, they were moved to tears.

“But there’s one thing you must consider for yourselves. Joining the Cloud Palace adds a layer of identity among the martial fraternity. The risks you face will not be like those of ordinary people and your current peaceful life will no longer be the same,” Dong Xiaoyan warned.

Having returned from their worldly journeys, Dong Xiaoyan and Feng Yin had gained new experiences and understanding of life.

While practitioners have a longer lifespan than normal people, they also miss out on many worldly comforts. The choice between these is a matter of personal judgment.

For example, the current life situation of these two women could easily be envied by over ninety percent of ordinary folk. Their children, however, once they joined the Cloud Palace, would gain opportunities but also reconnect with the martial world, making their future unpredictable!

“We are well aware of that.”

The women responded, “The child has already learned martial arts from Xu the Third and Xu the Fourth and is not just an ordinary person. But their talents are indeed limited, currently barely touching the Human-Level and not showcasing notable prowess.”

Dong Xiaoyan nodded and said, “If that’s your choice, then as you wish. Rest assured.”

“Yes, thank you, little princess, for making this possible.”

…

As Feng Yin and Dong Xiaoyan discussed the deeds of these two couples, both were filled with admiration.

Loyalty and sincerity, their qualities truly deserved commendation.

Considering the profit from the general store over these years, even compared to the treasury of Great Qin, it was not far behind!

Yet facing such huge wealth, the two couples who handled it year-round hadn’t felt the slightest greed or taken anything for themselves, a truly admirable restraint.

“I just calculated the profit over the years, all converted into silver, two hundred billion.”

“And there are two large warehouses of goods.”

Looking at the account books, Dong Xiaoyan exclaimed with a sigh, “Massive!”

“A mere general store having such enormous profit.”

Dong Xiaoyan was astounded, “How much salary do you give the brothers Xu the Third?”

“Salary…”

Feng Yin thought hard before saying, “One million a year, then free use of cultivation materials? They can choose whatever they like, no need to report or account… actually, it’s quite lenient.”

“But looking at the account, it seems like the brothers didn’t actually do that.”

Dong Xiaoyan sincerely admired, “Truly honest people.”

Feng Yin agreed with a nod.

Such genuine honesty is indeed rare in both the past and the present.

In modern society, with that kind of power at their disposal, the brothers might have easily become the wealthiest.

“The sons of Xu the Third are over thirty now. Even if they enter Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace, they won’t achieve much.”

Dong Xiaoyan said, “So I suggest to consider it for the grandson.”

Feng Yin agreed, “That’s a good idea.”

Then he added, “The son has a way, though.”

“Oh… I understand.”

Dong Xiaoyan said.

Feng Yin indeed planned to provide a transformative opportunity for the family.

Having known them personally, he only really vouched for Xu the Third and Xu the Fourth, but the brothers’ sons appeared to be hearty and honest too — if the sons were at all unworthy, even with all the prowess of Xu the Third and his brother, they couldn’t have kept the profits of the general store so perfectly!

Thus, without needing further scrutiny, Feng Yin knew they were good kids.

“What should we do with this wealth?”

Dong Xiaoyan asked.

“The wealth… Let’s take a hundred billion.”

Feng Yin had already decided.

“The rest, leave it to the brothers Xu the Third. Let them continue to manage it.”

Dong Xiaoyan said, “There’s no need to pull it out, just let it continue to exist. If you take it away, I fear the brothers Xu might not be able to keep it safe, even at the risk of losing their lives.”

“That’s true.”

“Let it continue to develop, it might be a future safety net.”

Dong Xiaoyan thought far ahead.

“It can also serve as a training ground for disciples of Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace.”

“Good.”

Then Dong Xiaoyan asked, “What do you plan to do with the money we take?”

“To support the families of old comrades of General Meng who died on the battlefield… some care for them.”
