Chapter 228: Heavily in Debt | Wan Zu Zhi Jie [Trans]
Wan Zu Zhi Jie [Trans] - Updated on March 21, 2025
November 6th, applied for a research lab.
November 8th, the academy approved the establishment.
The Single Divine Script faction did not create obstacles, or perhaps they didn’t care at the moment. It was also possible that they were under some pressure and had no choice but to let Su Yu establish the research institute.
…
November 9th.
Su Yu received the keys to the new research institute and, along with a group of founders, headed to the new location not far from the Wen Tan Research Center.
Xia Huyou, Hu Qiusheng, Wu Jia…
Including Zhao Ming, everyone was present.
Chen Yong also came to support Su Yu and offer some suggestions.
At the entrance.
It felt a bit desolate.
Weeds were growing everywhere.
It was a three-story building with a large courtyard. A plaque hung over the courtyard gate, somewhat dilapidated.
Upon closer inspection, it read: Blue Sky Research Institute.
Chen Yong and Zhao Ming exchanged glances. Zhao Ming smiled and said, “I didn’t expect them to give you this place.”
Su Yu was still looking at the surroundings. Wu Jia asked curiously, “What’s wrong with this place?”
“Blue Sky Research Institute…”
Zhao Ming sighed and then quickly smiled, “It’s nothing, it’s just that the former owner was a bit famous.”
“Who is it?”
Wu Jia was curious. Was he very famous?
“Blue Sky, of course.”
Zhao Ming laughed, “It’s called the Blue Sky Research Institute, so of course it’s Blue Sky.”
Wu Jia shook his head, not recognizing the name.
Nearby, Hu Qiusheng and Jiang Mu seemed to know.
Jiang Mu frowned slightly and said, “Not a good omen!”
Su Yu turned his head. “Who is Blue Sky?”
“A traitor.”
Jiang Mu said indifferently, “It happened 20 years ago. I saw it in a travelogue. Blue Sky… he probably doesn’t go by that name anymore, he’s called the Lord of the Beginning Demon Sect!”
“Huh?”
Su Yu was stunned. What was going on?
He knew that the two strongest races among the myriad races were the God and Demon races.
And these two races were just a general term; they were further divided into many smaller clans, of which the Primitive God Clan and the Beginning Demon Clan were the strongest.
Lord of the Beginning Demon Sect?
Zhao Ming laughed and said, “You didn’t know? The Lord of the Beginning Demon Sect did come from our side. Of course, it’s a black mark, and the academy is too lazy to talk about it, they’ve sealed this history. Blue Sky… hehe, he’s a real character!”
Chen Yong calmly said, “Just a traitor, what’s so special about him?”
Zhao Ming chuckled, “Curator Chen, you can’t say that. A traitor is a traitor, but you have to acknowledge their abilities!”
Seeing that Su Yu and the others were curious, he laughed and said, “Blue Sky… used to be the dean of the Modification Department. His age… wasn’t too great, he was from the same period as Elder Hong. He had already entered the Mountain Sea Realm long ago. 20 years ago, he was already the dean of the Modification Department, at the seventh level of Mountain Sea. The Modification Department wasn’t considered too strong to begin with.”
“This guy… modified himself, went crazy with modification, and finally suddenly wanted to change his body… so he secretly changed himself into a Beginning Demon body.”
The others frowned. Zhao Ming laughed again, “This guy was amazing. He disguised himself as a member of the Beginning Demon Clan and infiltrated their ranks on the Battlefield of the Heavens, doing a lot of big things, killing some Beginning Demon experts… If that were the case, he would be a hero.”
Su Yu and the others nodded, that was true.
If that were the case, the other party could be considered a hero for impersonating a member of the Beginning Demon Clan and infiltrating their ranks.
But now he was the Lord of the Beginning Demon Sect, so there was obviously more to the story.
Sure enough, Zhao Ming continued, “But then a Sun Moon Realm expert from the Beginning Demon Clan captured him but didn’t kill him… instead, he told him that his modification was unsuccessful, that it wasn’t a true Beginning Demon body, and that the body had major flaws…”
Zhao Ming shrugged and said, “We don’t know exactly what happened, but Blue Sky was convinced by him. Afterward, he returned to the human realm, replaced the previous Lord of the Beginning Demon Sect, and became the new Lord. In recent years, the Primitive God Sect and the Beginning Demon Sect have been fighting for power in the Myriad Clan Sect, and the Beginning Demon Sect has vaguely gained the upper hand…”
“He’s in the Sun Moon Realm?”
“Yes, he’s reached the Sun Moon Realm!”
Zhao Ming nodded with a smile, “That guy is a genius, it’s not surprising that he reached the Sun Moon Realm, after all, even Elder Hong is about to reach the Sun Moon Realm.”
“…”
Chen Yong just looked at him like that!
It felt like there was an insult in those words.
What do you mean “my teacher is almost in the Sun Moon Realm”?
Zhao Ming laughed and quickly said, “Calling him a real character is true, modifying himself to the point of becoming a Beginning Demon, he really has some skill. The Beginning Demon’s physical body is strong, how did this guy manage to modify himself successfully? It actually has a lot of reference value. Unfortunately, this guy defected after his successful modification, otherwise, we would definitely have a better understanding of the Beginning Demon Clan now.”
Su Yu asked strangely, “Didn’t Prefecture Lord Wan do anything?”
Wouldn’t they kill such a traitor?
“Do what?”
Zhao Ming shrugged and said, “That guy is in the Sun Moon Realm, and his whereabouts are secret, and he doesn’t come to Great Xia Prefecture to cause trouble. Do you think the Prefecture Lord would go and capture him all over the world? Besides, the Prefecture Lord’s publicly known strength is the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm, how would he capture him?”
He had a playful expression!
Publicly known strength: peak of the Mountain Sea Realm.
Su Yu frowned and said, “If they don’t kill such a traitor, does the academy still have any credibility?”
“If the Prefecture Lord doesn’t kill him, won’t the Xia family kill him?”
Xia Huyou replied, “Kill him? Even Great Xia King can’t find him! This guy is elusive, and he even says that he’s actually an agent planted by Prefecture Lord Wan, deliberately targeting the Primitive God Sect, and even asks everyone to give him some convenience.”
“A spy?”
Su Yu was surprised. Wu Jia also asked curiously, “He’s a spy? Is he a good guy? And he dares to say it everywhere?”
Xia Huyou said with a wry smile, “A spy, my foot! He’s just saying that on purpose. The meaning is also clear: telling us not to bother with him, that he won’t cause trouble for us, he’ll only fight with the Primitive God Sect…”

Su Yu also asked strangely, “He only fights with the Primitive God Sect? Then that’s really a good thing…”
“A good thing, my foot!”
Xia Huyou said speechlessly, “Don’t underestimate this guy! He wants to unify the Myriad Clan Sect and truly establish a force in the rear of the human race, even establish a large prefecture. This kind of person is the most troublesome!”
Xia Huyou sighed, “If you’re just shouting and killing, to be honest, those kinds of people aren’t scary! What’s scary is that this guy is the main culprit in promoting peaceful coexistence, including his suggestion to establish free trade zones in the Human Realm!”
Xia Huyou shook his head and said, “The higher-ups know this guy’s heart is black, but the people at the bottom… some of them actually think he’s a good guy! He preaches that the Myriad Races should not violate the Human Race, that the Human Race should accept more opinions and political views, and give some people who don’t want to fight a chance. He’s willing to protect them…”
Xia Huyou said with a headache, “Of course the Xia family wants to kill him, even more than killing the Primal Chaos Sect Leader! The other guys in the Myriad Races Sect either create chaos or slaughter the innocent, but not him. The ideas he promotes sound very reasonable at first, but they’re actually sophistry!”
He looked at Su Yu and said helplessly, “He said that the Human Race should establish free trade zones and accommodate the Myriad Races, because the Human Realm doesn’t have enough suppression. Everyone should work together to build the Human Realm into the center of the Myriad Worlds. What do you think?”
Su Yu frowned. Someone had said this to him before, Wan Mingze.
Back then, Su Yu cursed him for a while.
Today, Su Yu still cursed, “This kind of person should be killed!”
“That’s what I thought!”
Xia Huyou shrugged and said, “But some people think he’s right! Why fight? Wouldn’t it be better for everyone to become a family? Doesn’t war kill people? It’s so much better to be peaceful. It would be great if we became a trade center, the core of the Myriad Worlds!”
“He said that the Myriad Races are not coming to kill people, but to help us build the Human Realm! The Human Realm still has a lot of room for development. Away from war, everyone is like a dragon. What do you think?”
“…”
Su Yu was speechless. This person… it had to be said, was indeed difficult to deal with.
He wasn’t afraid of bad guys being ruthless, or bad guys being poisonous.
He was afraid of bad guys being insidious!
No matter how strong the strength, even if invincible, the Human Race could kill them!
But this guy didn’t kill people, he attacked their hearts!
The Great Xia Civilization Academy… impressive, even the guys who defected were insidious villains.
Sure enough, after messing around in the academy for decades, there weren’t many simple people.
Even Zhou Mingren, who seemed to be led around by them, could easily solve the problems when he got serious. These days, he had solved many internal hidden dangers within the Single Divine Script lineage.
The Single Divine Script lineage, which was about to fall apart, seemed to have united again these days.
He wasn’t in a hurry to let someone take the position of lineage master, but kept everyone in suspense, making some of the Soaring Sky Realm experts, including several elders, behave themselves.
He had a big bone here. If you were good, he might give it to you.
As a result, the Single Divine Script lineage had become much more united these days than before.
“This person…”
Su Yu thought for a while and said, “He should be killed! And he should be killed sooner! The Primal Chaos Sect, its reputation should still be good, right?”
“Yes!”
Xia Huyou sighed, “Here in the Great Xia Prefecture, we call them all the Myriad Races Sect, and everyone doesn’t have much of a concept, but in some major prefectures, the Myriad Races Sect is the Myriad Races Sect, and the Primal Chaos Sect is the Primal Chaos Sect… Oh right, their official name isn’t the Primal Chaos Sect, but the Holy Sect!”
Xia Huyou complained, “Some guys even follow them and call it the Holy Sect. Tell me, isn’t this guy troublesome?”
“Then haven’t you dealt with him all these years?”
Xia Huyou said depressingly, “Of course we have. Our… Prefecture Lord once personally chased him for more than three months, but in the end, he disappeared and couldn’t be found. When the Prefecture Lord came back, he appeared again! He’s a Transformation System expert and can transform himself into a Primal Chaos Demon Race member. Just think about how powerful his hiding ability is. He can transform into another person with a little modification!”
Su Yu was speechless. That was true.
“Then you can’t track him?”
“If he’s locked on by an Invincible, he can’t escape, but the key is that you can’t lock him on. This guy is too good at hiding!”
After Xia Huyou finished speaking, he looked at the courtyard in front of him and curled his lips, “It’s actually his research institute. I was wondering why the research center in Wentan was so generous as to allocate a large research institute to you when it’s full of old researchers. It turns out it’s his. How unlucky!”
The old research institute was very large, while the new research institute was smaller.
The Single Divine Script lineage allocated an old researcher’s research institute to Su Yu, but now it seemed they were probably just disgusted by it and had bad intentions.
Su Yu didn’t care and said with a smile, “It doesn’t matter, the bigger the place, the better. Maybe that Lan Tian left some good things behind…”
“What are you thinking!”
Zhao Ming interrupted, “Stop dreaming. After he defected, people from the Seeking Realm, the God of War Temple, and the Great Xia Prefecture came and searched his research institute and residence upside down! Everything that could be taken was taken, and the rest was sealed by the academy, leaving only an empty shell.”
“Even an Invincible personally led the team to investigate. Do you think they would leave you anything good?”
Su Yu smiled. He was just saying that.
Of course he didn’t expect them to leave him anything.
Lan Tian Research Institute… Su Yu didn’t waste any time. He threw a punch, and with a loud bang, the already dilapidated sign was shattered into pieces by his punch!
“From today onwards, this is the Yuan Shen Research Institute!”
Su Yu laughed and turned his head to say, “Xia Huyou, I’m giving you this task. Get me a new sign later!”
“Hang a sign?”
“Just hang it up casually, there’s no hanging ceremony.”
Su Yu smiled, “Let’s go, let’s go in and take a look!”
…………
Just as Su Yu was taking people in to look at the research institute.
In the Cultivation Pavilion.
Wan Tiansheng suddenly smiled, “This kid has a lot of guts, smashing someone else’s sign… interesting!”
As he spoke, he smiled playfully.
For so many years, no one had touched the Lan Tian Research Institute since it was sealed.
Now, Sun Xiang had given this research institute to Su Yu. Was it unintentional, or intentional?
The academy had sealed this research institute for many years, also with the intention of luring Lan Tian back to take a look.
He left in a hurry back then, and hardly took anything with him.
Later, during the search, no information about the Primordial Demon Clan was found.
The Quest Realm, the Hall of War Gods, and the Great Xia Prefecture all felt that perhaps there was something about this research institute that they hadn’t discovered. If even the Invincible couldn’t find it, then it must be a significant secret.
This Blue Sky Research Institute had been sealed for many years. After being locked down for 18 years, and with no movement, the seal was finally lifted two years ago.
Now, Grand Secretary Sun actually gave it to Su Yu.
Is he trying to disgust Su Yu, or… is he trying to use him as a pawn?
At this moment, Wan Tiansheng released his willpower, searching the entire academy, murmuring, “Are you still in the academy?”
That guy is a master of hiding!
Who knows if he has sneaked back into the Great Xia Prefecture, infiltrated the Civilization Academy.
Now that his sign has been smashed, will he appear?
Will he reveal any clues?
After investigating, Wan Tiansheng smiled and retracted his willpower.
Never mind him!
Even if he is here, he wouldn’t dare to show himself.
That guy himself understands that many people are actually letting him do as he pleases, to gather the Ten Thousand Clans Sect. When the Ten Thousand Clans Sect is truly unified, that will be his death date, a good opportunity to wipe them out in one fell swoop!
There are a few old guys who are waiting for him to do just that.
Gathering the Ten Thousand Clans Sect, it would be even better if you could arrange a coronation ceremony for him. At that time, I’m afraid multiple Invincibles would be chasing after him.
Wan Tiansheng smiled, closed his eyes to rest, and decided to ignore it.
Su Yu this guy… I don’t know if he’s lucky or unlucky. If that guy is really in the academy, and saw Su Yu smash his sign, he probably won’t let Su Yu off the hook.
“It would be good to lure him out!”
Blue Sky…
Wan Tiansheng muttered in his heart, the spy I arranged… arranged my ass, all these years borrowing my reputation, I just couldn’t be bothered with you.
When I find that Invincible, I’ll settle the score with you!
…………
“Cough cough cough…”
Opening the dust-covered door, a bloody smell rushed into the minds of several people.
Wu Jia coughed for a while, covering her nose and saying, “It stinks!”
Zhao Ming smiled and said, “It’s normal, the Transformation Department… kills a lot of things. Today, they cut off an arm, tomorrow, they cut off a claw. Back then, the number of great demons that died in this research institute was more than the number in the Wen Tan Research Center.”
“We don’t kill…”
Su Yu and Chen Yong said in unison. Then, the two looked at each other and smiled, no longer speaking.
The others looked at them strangely.
Are you two serious?
How did your talent essence blood come about? Did you buy it yourselves?
Especially Zhao Ming, who was speechless, how many great demons did Hong Tan bring to the research center? Do you two really have no idea?
And now?
Not even bones left!
Su Yu ignored him and walked in to take a look. The place was very large.
But it was also very empty!
The bloody smell wasn’t much. Killing a lot of creatures will naturally have this smell. The confinement area also has it, just not as strong.
Three floors above ground, three floors underground.
The structure is almost the same as the Wen Tan Center.
The first floor is the living area. In the hall, almost everything has been moved away, leaving only some broken furniture, broken sofas, broken tables, broken everything!
After decades, everything that could be moved was taken away, and everything that wasn’t wanted was discarded.
There weren’t even any creatures present, not even a mouse. They didn’t dare to come, the killing intent was too heavy.
Su Yu glanced at Xia Huyou.
Xia Huyou looked at him, somewhat strange.
Why are you looking at me?
“Clean up!”
Su Yu said speechlessly, “You’re a professional! Have you forgotten? You have a cleaning divine rune!”
“…”
Damn it!
You still remember!
Xia Huyou said speechlessly, “You dragged me here, not just for this, right?”
“Of course!”
“…”
Xia Huyou was speechless. Don’t you know what my status is?
Is this how you treat Xia Longwu’s son?
You’re really going to make me clean up for you?
“Hurry up!”
Su Yu said unhappily, “This place is simple, clean it up, and you can move things in quickly!”
Xia Huyou was depressed, damn it, you’re really making me work!
Su Yu ignored him, gave a few instructions, and then said, “Senior Sister, go to the Wen Tan Research Center later and bring back the books I packed. Senior Brother Jiang, your and Brother Hu’s mission is to buy some books, buy some materials to fill the place… Teacher Zhao, your mission is to help us get a batch of instruments…”
“What kind of instruments?”
Su Yu calculated and said, “Cages for confining great demons, divine rune arrays, divine rune storage rooms… Keep it simple. I can get the things related to divine runes from the Wen Tan Research Center. Our main focus is on the primordial spirit apertures, we still need some models!”
Su Yu thought for a while and said, “Especially the most advanced human body models, the kind that are completely simulated, including the Sea of Will…”
“Huh?”
Zhao Ming said in surprise, “You want to buy this too? This thing is not cheap. Completely simulated. Our academy’s technology is not mature yet. The Great Zhou Prefecture’s technology is mature, but purchasing a Ten Thousand Stone Realm one would cost hundreds of merit points. A Soaring one would cost at least a thousand points…”
“Get some back.”
“Where’s the money?”
“Charge it, teacher, please pay first.”
“…”
Zhao Ming looked at him, and Su Yu looked at him too.
After a while, Zhao Ming smiled and said, “Um… is it too late for me to quit?”
“Teacher, you’re not short of money now, I know. Your income is considerable. When I get the money, I’ll pay you back immediately!”
“Xia Huyou does black market business, why don’t you ask him to pay?”
Su Yu said helplessly, “I still owe him 1100 merit points. Besides, if we need anything else later, we’ll have to ask him to buy it. We can’t just fleece one person, right?”
“…”
Zhao Ming was tired, looking at Chen Yong. Are you all like this in your lineage?
Chen Yong didn’t look at him, don’t look at me, I don’t have money.
Borrow if you want!
Su Yu said seriously, “Teacher, I don’t usually borrow money from anyone. Borrowing money means that I trust the teacher, and the teacher must also trust me. I can sell something and not be short of money. I just don’t want to sell it to others!”
“So, they think highly of me?”
“Teacher, you’re joking. They think very highly of you!”
Su Yu smiled, and Zhao Ming raised an eyebrow and said, “If I don’t lend…does that mean that the institute won’t have anything to do with me when it produces results in the future?”
“Pretty much.”
Zhao Ming laughed, “Alright! You’re ruthless enough! Hu Qiusheng and Jiang Mu are the same, buying materials with their own money?”
“Yes, put it on the account first, and I’ll pay it all back when I have money!”
Su Yu laughed and said, “Don’t worry, I’m not a deadbeat. If I really can’t pay, I still have some treasures here. Sell a few to you, and you’ll make a profit!”
As soon as he said this, Xia Huyou hurriedly said, “If you have good stuff, sell it to me first! I’ll pay a high price!”
Su Yu was too lazy to pay attention to him, and while strolling around the hall, he said, “Let’s focus on cultivation methods and divine runes. The expenses won’t be too high. I’ve calculated it myself, and all kinds of expenses combined won’t exceed 5,000 merit points!”
Everyone was speechless. Is that not too high?
You’re just a Nourishing Spirit cultivator, but your tone is really big.
“I went to the library these past few days and made arrangements with them to copy thousands of books for me. The price isn’t high, about 300 merit points, and they’re all things we’ll need in the future…”
Su Yu glanced at a few people, and finally looked at Wu Jia, who looked at him pitifully, don’t look at me!
I don’t have any money!
I’m really poor!
Su Yu stroked his chin and said after a long while, “I’ve been thinking, our research institute is still short of manpower. Wu Lan and I are old friends, so I have to give her a hand. I’ll invite her later, and she can pay for those books from the library first, is that okay?”
Wu Yuehua’s grand-niece is one of us, so I have to give her a hand!
Seeing how slowly she’s progressing, Su Yu can’t bear it!
Everyone was speechless.
Xia Huyou curled his lips and said, “If you’re talking about money, the Pill Refinement Department is really rich, and the Divine Rune Department is also considered rich. Oh yeah, the Weapon Forging Department is actually also rich. Non-combat majors are all rich.”
“Really?”
Didn’t feel like it!
At least the old man in the Weapon Forging Department is quite poor.
Xia Huyou curled his lips and said, “Don’t mention Teacher Zhao Li, it’s pointless. The old man has a weird temper. When he’s in a good mood, he’ll forge a weapon for someone, but when he’s not, he won’t do it for half a year. Otherwise, how could he be so poor!”
Su Yu was too lazy to pay attention to him. He had to give Wu Lan a hand.
It’s not easy being a woman!
And the Grand-Aunt is rich!
Although Wu Yuehua and Teacher Liu have a good relationship, it doesn’t mean I can just go to their door to borrow money. I’m just going around, and it’s not like I won’t pay back. I can even give them some benefits.
Recently, he’s preparing to study a cultivation method that accelerates the fusion of acupoints. Once this cultivation method is developed, it will be a blessing for those in the Thousand Pound and Ten Thousand Stone realms!
And for the Mountain Sea realm, it’s also a blessing!
“Oh yeah, and Zhou Hao…”
Su Yu stroked his chin and smiled, “The Single Divine Rune lineage, or other factions, will eventually want to send some spies in. Why not proactively pull in Zhou Hao? He’s a poor ghost, but his master is rich!”
The Xia family is too rich.
Zhao Ming nodded, while Chen Yong faintly said, “Xia Yuwen might not have any money left. Also…Su Yu, don’t spend recklessly. Our lineage is still burdened with a lot of external debt.”
“Huh?”
Su Yu was confused. Deficit?
Wasn’t the money I gave you last time enough?
Chen Yong looked at him and said after a long while, “When Master was in seclusion, he told me that the Multi-Divine Rune lineage was entrusted to you, including the Wen Tan Research Center, and even our debts…didn’t you know?”
“Debts?”
“Yes!”
Chen Yong calmly said, “Your grandmaster trusts you, so I won’t say anything. It’s not much. Last time, the Eighteenth High School was almost destroyed, and in the end, we had to compensate 1.2 million merit points. The Single Divine Rune lineage compensated 800,000, Xia Yuwen alone compensated 100,000, and we compensated 300,000. Actually, that’s considered little. Marquis Xia took care of us, didn’t you know?”
Su Yu was stunned!
I didn’t know!
Su Yu stammered, “That…does the Single Divine Rune…lineage have money to compensate?”
“Yes.”
Chen Yong smiled and said, “The Nine Heavens Academy is responsible for compensating 300,000, the people from the Enlightenment Academy are responsible for compensating 100,000, and the Great Zhou Prefecture is responsible for compensating 300,000. These guys from our academy compensated even less than us, 100,000 is enough.”
“We compensated 300,000, which actually includes the debts of many people. But, they risked their lives to support us, you can’t let them lose money, right?”
Chen Yong smiled and said, “Take Elder He Qi, Elder Wu Yuehua, Senior Zhao Mingyue…these people, are we not going to pay and let them pay?”
“…”
Young master, there are more chapters later, please click on the next page to continue reading, the following is more exciting!
If you like Tribes of Gods, please bookmark it: (novelonl.com) The fastest update speed of Tribes of Gods on the whole network.
Su Yu swallowed and said with a dry smile, “You must be kidding, so much, who can afford to pay!”
“Kidding?”
Chen Yong laughed, and Zhao Ming and the others laughed too.
Xia Huyou said speechlessly, “Do you think the Xia family would joke around? Do you think Marquis Xia would joke around? Su Yu, you have to pay if you have to pay. If you don’t pay…your Wen Tan Research Center will be gone soon!”
Marquis Xia usually likes to joke around, but when it comes to money, he doesn’t joke around!
Su Yu was speechless!
1.2 million was rewarded!
Just broke a little place outside the Eighteenth High School, and these people have to compensate 1.2 million merit points. Marquis Xia…Second Young Master Xia is really eating people without spitting out bones!
“Really paying?”
Su Yu was still a little incredulous. Wasn’t it a joke?
Xia Huyou said amusingly, “Of course it’s really paying. The money from the Great Zhou Prefecture has already been received! Single Tianhao died, and they still have to pay. If they don’t pay…your people from the Great Zhou Prefecture broke into our territory, and you don’t pay, then our Dragon Martial Guard will go to the Great Zhou Prefecture to rob the treasury. Let’s make a scene, who’s afraid of who!”
Su Yu was stunned.
“The head of the Nine Heavens Academy, Jin Yuhui, almost sold his pants, and the money has also been received.”
Xia Huyou said with a smile, “Who told them to fight so fiercely? Head Jin Yuhui destroyed more places, so he has to pay! Your grandmaster also broke a lot of things, so it’s cheap to charge you 300,000 merit points!”
“Then the Single Divine Rune lineage…”
Su Yu was confused, did they still have money to compensate?
Xia Huyou laughed and said, “Don’t worry, they have money. Although they don’t actually have money, the elders of the pavilions can scrape together 100,000 merit points! If that doesn’t work, go to Da Zhou Manor for it. Da Zhou Manor has money!”
“…”
Su Yu was speechless. He now suspected that the Xia family was doing it on purpose, deliberately letting Zhou Mingren and the others get involved with Da Zhou Manor and treating it as an ATM!
Go and fleece them every now and then!
“So, I’m burdened with 300,000 in external debt?”
Not Anping coins, but merit points!
Damn it!
He remembered now. No wonder his grandmaster told him generously before going into seclusion that if he didn’t have any demon god essence blood, he could mortgage the Wen Tan Research Center. So… the Wen Tan Research Center was pretty much gone anyway?
Maybe there were just a few demon god essence blood quotas left?
And to get some benefits in the process?
Su Yu continued to stare blankly, glancing at Chen Yong. Senior Uncle, you’re the head of the lineage!
Not me!
Chen Yong said indifferently, “We can afford it. The important thing about the Wen Tan Research Center is the data, not the location! Of course, it cost a lot to set up those large arrays and buy those instruments! If you really have to sell it, you can sell it for hundreds of thousands. Since Master is letting you take charge, if the Xia family demands payment, just sell the research center to pay off the debt.”
The research center is going to be sold!
Wow!
Why don’t you sell it yourselves and let me sell it?
This is making me the sinner!
Only now did Su Yu realize that he had become a huge debtor, heavily in debt!
Worse than Teacher Liu!
In debt for a whopping 300,000+ merit points!
His head was throbbing painfully. Su Yu said with a wry smile, “Xia Yuwen and the others are also out of money?”
“Pretty much!”
Chen Yong laughed and said, “Of course, they can still afford to spend some money to train students. You can bring that Zhou Hao over and use him as experimental material. That would be great!”
“Of course, don’t expose the key information. Actually, I don’t think Zhou Hao understands any of this. Even if you show him the data, he might not be able to understand it.”
Chen Yong joked, but it was the truth.
Zhou Hao… how many languages does he know?
Most of the data in the research institute is in the original language, not translated versions.
After saying that, Chen Yong added, “You need to buy a good, large-scale defensive array, not for defense against attacks, but to prevent people from sneaking in and eavesdropping! It should be able to interfere with the detection of Sun-Moon Realm experts. It’s very valuable, and you can’t buy it for less than ten thousand merit points!”
“…”
Su Yu was exhausted. He had to buy this. It looked like he really needed to find a sucker or go treasure hunting!
If he didn’t buy it, with Wan Tiansheng’s strength, he could check on this place at any time, and he might not even be able to detect it.
“Senior Uncle, I suddenly don’t want to set up a research institute…”
Chen Yong comforted him, “Set it up. The Wen Tan Research Center might not even be ours anymore. If you don’t set one up, you’ll have to move later. It’s good to have a nest in advance.”
He was quite in favor of setting up a research institute. At least there would be a place to live, so that when Master came out of seclusion, he wouldn’t have a place to stay.
Su Yu, be a good grand-disciple. When your grandmaster comes out of seclusion, you can bring him back for a few days. After all, his library is the academy’s, not a private place.
So poor!
At this moment, Su Yu felt the poverty!
It seemed that their Multi-Divinity Writing lineage didn’t even have a place to live, let alone hold meetings and do research.
Look at other people, they even have their own buildings for meetings!
“Is Xia Houye going to come and take the research institute?”
“Not so fast…”
Xia Huyou explained, “Even if Xia Houye wants to collect the debt, he’ll give you some time to raise the money. If you can’t raise enough, he’ll take things. 300,000 is a lot. I think he’ll give you at least six months to a year!”
He had to explain to Second Grandfather that Second Grandfather wasn’t the kind of person who would push someone to the brink.
He’ll give you time to raise the money!
Half a year to a year, and if your family had a half-step Sun-Moon Realm expert, they could earn enough money if they went to kill great demons every day.
Killing one Mountain-Sea Realm great demon a day, 180 in half a year… never mind, killing one every 10 days, 18 in half a year, that would be enough to make up for the deficit. Second Grandfather is still very humane.
Su Yu rolled his eyes wildly!
Get lost!
He realized that the Xia family… no, Xia Houye, was really black-hearted!
In the last battle, no one benefited except for the Xia family, who really made a huge profit.
Next time, people would have to think about whether to start a war in the Xia family’s territory.
Don’t start a war and end up selling your pants and not being able to afford to compensate the Xia family for their losses.
Black-hearted Xia Xiaoer!
He cursed him again in his heart. So what if you’re in the Sun-Moon Realm? I didn’t curse you in front of you!
