Let me Touch your Tail

Chapter 181

In short, possessing this Qiankun Bag is akin to owning enough wealth to establish your own sect.
Sudden wealth may seem like a blessing, but whether it's a fortune or a curse is still uncertain.
How to handle this unexpected windfall is a significant question.
The things they stumbled upon are enough to make others envious, even to the point of pursuing them to the ends of the earth.

As the saying goes, "Those who see it have a share," which has always been the rule of the martial world. The issue isn't scarcity but inequality, a critical standard for resource distribution.

Ren Qingyue fell into deep thought and cast a subtle glance at Elder Chen.
It wasn't that she doubted whether Elder Chen would be swayed by greed. He had been assigned by Yao Shenzi to escort the Fox Emperor's group. When previously surrounded by shadows and in peril, he hadn't abandoned the Fox Emperor, which proved his loyalty and righteousness.
Naturally, the Yao Clan was not stingy either. On the night they arrived, the Fox Queen had already sent someone with a generous reward.

However, human nature is unpredictable. Anyone can be swayed by interests, and peace often prevails only when there are no major disputes over benefits. One should never test the limits of human nature.

Better safe than sorry. They didn't know Elder Chen well enough, and it's always wise to be cautious.
Fortunately, Yan Zhao stood between her and Elder Chen.
Yan Zhao was Yao Shenzi's direct disciple, carrying a soul token personally bestowed upon her. If anything happened to Yan Zhao, Yao Shenzi would know immediately.

Ren Qingyue took out the Qiankun Bag and placed it alongside the glowstone on the ground, motioning for Yan Zhao to sit beside her.
Yan Zhao obediently sat cross-legged next to her senior sister, and Elder Chen, seeing this, straightened up slightly, waiting for Ren Qingyue to speak.

After a moment of consideration, Ren Qingyue began, "This matter is of great importance. I believe that privately dividing these treasures would be unworthy of gentlemen. Moreover, these treasures are all registered on the Immortal Alliance's bounty list. Once they surface, they'll surely bring nothing but trouble—there's no benefit in that."

Yan Zhao exclaimed, "Ah," expressing her confusion to Ren Qingyue, "We can't take these treasures with us?"
It would be such a pity if they couldn't bring these treasures along, given their good fortune.

Elder Chen propped his chin, looking thoughtful.
Ren Qingyue, unsure of his thoughts, first answered Yan Zhao's question, "It's not that we can't take them, but we can't just keep them for ourselves."

"Then what should we do?" Yan Zhao asked again, "Who should we give them to?"
Her casual question hit the mark, and Ren Qingyue looked at her approvingly. She continued, "The Palace Master of Wanbao Palace, Su Zijun, posted a bounty long ago, promising to gift all these treasures to anyone who could help her recover her lost items."
"Since we've accidentally stumbled upon the treasures Wanbao Palace lost, why not take them to Wanbao Palace and let Su Palace Master verify them?"
That way, they would be returning Wanbao Palace's lost property, and Su Zijun would likely reward them according to the original bounty. They could then divide the fortune with her as a witness, avoiding unnecessary disputes.

After finishing, Ren Qingyue looked at Elder Chen. "What does Elder Chen think?"
Elder Chen nodded in agreement. "I have no objections."
Ren Qingyue then turned to Yan Zhao. "And you?"
Yan Zhao grinned, still saying the same thing, "I'll listen to Senior Sister."

Ren Qingyue finally felt relieved and handed the Qiankun Bag to Yan Zhao. "Until we leave Mist Demon Ravine and reach Duobao Ling Mountain, you'll be in charge of this. Take good care of it."
Yan Zhao's face lit up with a broad smile, and she patted her chest to guarantee, "No problem!"
