Chapter 377: Qian Ya’s Great Wisdom, Unlucky Matters
As they were talking, Qian Ya walked over from a distance.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, “What’s the outcome?”
“Are you planning to stubbornly hold on, or are you withdrawing from this game?”
Faced with Chen Changsheng’s words, Qian Ya rolled her eyes dramatically and said, “Young Master, can you have some faith in me?”
“This matter already has a result; my future circumstances will depend on you.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“I promised my Ancestor at home that in three years, I would achieve something sufficient to compensate for the family’s losses.”
“If I can’t do it, I will willingly abandon all my cultivation and leave the Qian Family.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Changsheng immediately laughed.
“You’re gambling with your life; do you really trust me that much?”
In response, Qian Ya rolled her eyes again and said, “I don’t trust you; I trust myself.”
“Sometimes, you have to take risks in business. Since I’ve taken charge of Wanbao Pavilion, my judgment has never been wrong.”
“So right now, I have faith in my judgment as well. By the way, is there really no limitation on the wish you promised?”
Hearing Qian Ya’s words, Chen Changsheng clicked his tongue and said, “It’s not that there are no limitations; I hope you won’t make any unrealistic wishes when the time comes.”
“Like asking for three more wishes, or wanting to become a Heavenly Mandate Holder and so on.”
“Other than that, any other wishes are fine.”
“With Young Master’s words, Qian Ya is at ease.”
“Bang!”
A whole pile of books fell to the ground, and Qian Ya began to leisurely flip through them.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng asked in surprise, “What are you doing?”
“Selecting my rewards,” Qian Ya replied while turning the pages, “I know your background is extraordinary.”
“I also know that you probably possess many secrets; just revealing one could grant someone great opportunities.”
“But these matters have nothing to do with me. I’m not interested in researching your past. I only want to request appropriate rewards.”
“The Crimson Realm’s gathering is only a few thousand years old. What I know so far is too ordinary.”
“To be precise, these things are not enough for me to break even, so the rewards that can allow me to break even must be from before the Battle of Extinction.”
“Young Master, this request isn’t excessive, right?”
Faced with Qian Ya’s gaze, Chen Changsheng smiled and nodded, saying, “Not excessive at all. Have you made any gains?”
“Not yet; the Battle of Extinction caused many things to break off.”
“The records I have are the history books our Qian Family compiled ourselves. Compared to history books from all Nine Domains, ours is quite comprehensive.”
“I suffered a loss regarding the Stunning Swan Sword, so this time, I need to remember it well.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng tilted his head and began to look at the history books with Qian Ya.
“Why is there no record of the d*ath of your Qian Family Ancestor, the one who was enshrined as the God of Wealth?”
“Who says there’s no record? Doesn’t it say so right here?”
Following Qian Ya’s finger, Chen Changsheng saw this in the corner of the page.
“Undertaker appears!”
“Four words count as a description?”
“Why wouldn’t it? The appearance of the Undertaker means that my Qian Family Ancestor was taken away by the Undertaker.”
“For such a taboo matter, having just four words to describe it is already quite good.”
In response to Qian Ya’s answer, Chen Changsheng’s eyes shifted, and he said, “You say the Undertaker is an unlucky existence, but being present doesn’t necessarily mean it’s unlucky.”
“For example, they didn’t appear during the Demon Emperor’s War.”
“Who says they didn’t appear?”
Qian Ya pointed to the four words “Undertaker appears” and said, “At the time of my Qian Family Ancestor’s passing, the Demon Emperor’s War had not yet concluded.”
“To be precise, it should have been in its final stages.”
“The Undertaker’s appearance at this time means that they must have participated in the Demon Emperor’s War.”
“It’s just that tracking such an existence isn’t easy.”
“Based on all of this, do you think the Undertaker is an unlucky existence?”
“Wherever they go, there’s d*ath; I certainly don’t want to go looking for them, even if you have leads.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng said lightly, “I do know a little about the whereabouts of the Undertaker; since you don’t want to know, then it’s fine.”
At this moment, a previously silent Ye Yongxian spoke up.
“Girl, I just realized you have great wisdom.”
“What you said is very true; no one wishes to encounter an unlucky person like the Undertaker.”
After speaking, Ye Yongxian glanced deeply at Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng: “……”
Feeling Ye Yongxian’s gaze, Chen Changsheng spoke again, “Ya’er, the Undertaker is a taboo existence; speak carefully.”
“If they find out, you could be in trouble.”
“What’s there to fear? They can’t monitor the entire world; how would they know what I said?”
“You’re not going to report me to them, are you?”
“I won’t.”
“Then it’s fine.”
