19 Kind family (1/2)

(MC's POV)

Lily's beautifully performed slap broke many things at that moment.

Like the noble girl's teeth.

Her bones.

Her face.

My flag.

(´;︵;`)

Rip, nameless admirer of mine.

As your idol, I will take good care of your property after your parents come to visit me.

...

Haha.

We are rich.

I thought so happily as I bounced the dimensional bag in my hands.

As I had expected, their family came to contact us.

After a few talks and some friendly fist of justice, they kindly 'donated' gold coins to us unfortunate folks.

God bless their souls.

The Taoist was right when he said, ”A young master a day keeps the depression away.”

All my previous signs of sadness are now gone like my formerly (relatively) empty pocket.

Although it seems like Lily is still hung up about slapping nameless young miss A in the main square.

”Master. Did my actions create more problems for you?”

Lily asked me while lowering her head, a hint of guilt and uneasiness visible in her face.

With the red glow of sunset heightening her pitiful expression, I found it hard to scold her.

”Don't worry. Just don't do such things in the future.”

I said while lightly smiling at her.

To be honest, her actions had indeed caused a bit of problem for me.

While robbing and scamming young masters was a wonderful sport which brought me spiritual healing and tranquility, the underlying reason behind this fishing was to establish a relation with the lower houses of Rein Kingdom.

Not a peaceful one, as evident from my actions.

But not a disastrous one either.

Ruining a young mistress in marriage age was the secret recipe for a disastrous one.

Hence, the plan to use them had gone down the drain.

I now needed to search for another method to deal with the smiling maniac and his plans.

Which was, in all honesty, a pain.

Since the civil war would occur fifteen years from now.

And there was no way in hell I would stay here like an idiot for fifteen years.

There was the nuclear option of killing the second prince.

But sadly, I could not do that.

It was because I was the elder of Immortal Divinity Sect.

I could not take such huge risks when I was merely at the beginner stage of Spiritual Arrival.

Regardless of whether my actions were intentional or not, if it was found that I meddled in the contest for throne, the Qing Shan Empire would seek answers from the sect.

In response, the sect would either wage war or sacrifice me.

Both of which were options I would like to avoid.

In the first place, I don't even know what the second prince was thinking because I ascended before he could do anything as an adviser to Qing Shan Empire.

As a king of Rein Kingdom, I don't recall him doing anything out of line either.

Unless it was worthy, I had no intention of risking my life for unclear benefits.

Besides, my direct meddling would prove to be unbeneficial to the citizens.

Because a lot of high-ranking corrupt officials would mysteriously die in this period.
