249: Once a teacher, always a father! I, Han, the guardian, feel sorry for my disciple.

Zhang Nan patted his chest, brimming with confidence.

This matter was too simple for him; it wouldn't take any effort at all.

He Zimu, who was already working for the Tianhun Chamber of Commerce, watched the scene unfold before him, and silently began to mourn and pray for his Senior Brother Zhang Nan.

During this time, he had been by Yang Yucheng's side, and he knew his temper and Heart-Nature all too well.

How could he possibly do something that was a thankless task?

"This Senior Brother! If nothing major goes wrong next, he's probably going to be very unlucky!"

"Steward Yang is not someone who can stay out of trouble. Even if he goes to that place of pleasure, he's bound to stir up some trouble. The only difference is whether it's good trouble or bad trouble!"

"Senior Brother Zhang Nan, you must hold on!"

Considering Zhang Nan's previous support for the Chamber of Commerce, He Zimu still had a good impression of him, which led to these thoughts and ideas.

Unfortunately, it was all for naught!

...He arrived at the familiar courtyard once again.

His cheap Revered Master, Protector Han, was drinking tea and rocking in a lounge chair, while Su Ran, the second-generation True Disciple, sat with his legs crossed. The two looked at each other without a word.

Protector Han's face was full of smiles, and he was in an exceptionally good mood!

In recent days,

As the ascension insurance business grew more and more robust, although it had only been half a month, his share of the profits was about to arrive.

The business had a total of ten shares.

True Disciple Su, who was before him, took a full majority, six shares; his Revered Master, Protector Han, took three shares; and the last share went to Yang Yucheng, the actual person in charge of execution.

It had only been half a month, but it was already the end of the month.

According to the rules set in the business world previously, it was indeed possible to distribute a sum.

Although this money wasn't particularly large for Protector Han, not even one-tenth of his savings, he couldn't resist the fact that there would be such an extra share every month from now on.

It was truly a case of money falling from the sky while he sat at home.

Not to mention, over a year, it would basically reach half of his current savings, and in the long run, it would be compound interest, a veritable cornucopia.

A few days ago, he had shown off to several old friends who were also Protector Elders.

Having become an official Elder,

his current resources could still cover his expenses. Not only was it enough for his Cultivation, but he also had a good amount of extra Spirit Crystals to purchase other Spirit Beasts, Magic Treasures, and so on for himself.

The higher one's Cultivation, the more Spirit Crystals one needed!

This was an undeniable fact!

In contrast, Su Ran, the second-generation True Disciple sitting opposite Protector Han with his legs crossed, was also inwardly delighted and smiling.

But on his face, he deliberately put on a stern expression, like Bao Gong.

Those who didn't know would have thought he had suffered a great misfortune here.

"This share needs to be changed!"

Su Ran said in a deep voice, his tone carrying a lot of resentment.

If he had known this business was so profitable, he would never have been so generous!

This time, he really lost out big!

Protector Han disagreed!

"True Disciple Su, six shares is not a small amount!"

"Whether it's for True Disciple Su, or for the Grotto-Heaven Great Elder behind you, it's already considered controlling most of the lifeline of this business. Any more would not be appropriate."

"Even if it were other True Disciples, they would probably only get this much at most!"

Protector Han sighed, feeling a bit unwilling in his heart.

If it were other True Disciples!

Six shares would definitely be the final allocation decided after several negotiations!

But for Su Ran before him,

his reputation, appetite, and greedy Heart-Nature were well-known throughout Qingyun Grotto-Heaven.

If he hadn't belonged to the Qingyun Grotto-Heaven Great Elder's lineage from the beginning, he really wouldn't have wanted to have too deep a connection with this Great True Disciple before him!

"Don't forget!"

"This business might need to win over several other True Disciples later! I'm not asking for it for myself!"

Su Ran also knew he was in the wrong and, with wide eyes, argued with Protector Han again!

Protector Han shook his head again, his calm and collected demeanor far more composed than Su Ran's.

"Within the Elder Hall, connections also need to be made everywhere. This is a place True Disciples cannot reach. With the Elder Hall coming forward, the Steward Hall will willingly hand over this business."

"This is also for the good of the business!"

As he spoke, Protector Han's unique Dao rhythm slowly and silently emerged on his surface.

His body moved without wind.

The Aura on him, like a surge of Qi, instantly left the previously aggressive Su Ran speechless!

Su Ran squinted slightly, staring intently at Protector Han before him, "You have already become Jade Elder, your Cultivation has advanced further, Breaking Through to the Late Stage of the Spirit Sect Realm!"

"I really underestimated you!"

Within the Elder Hall,

even the most basic Protector Elders must possess Spirit Ancestor Cultivation above the Spirit Venerable Realm.

This was the lowest tier among Protector Elders.

To become a full-fledged Elder, a Jade Elder, the minimum level was to Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of the Spirit Sect Realm.

Only by becoming a Late Stage Spirit Sect Realm could one have a ten-tenths certainty of receiving an official appointment from the Elder Hall.

Undoubtedly,

Protector Han before him had achieved it.

"A joyous occasion has arrived, and it's all thanks to my Disciple!"

"In the past half month, my mind has been clear and my thoughts unhindered. The Bottleneck that had troubled me for many years was pushed aside, and I thus Broke Through. I imagine True Disciple Su shouldn't have any problems with that!"

"My Disciple, as the originator of the business, has given his utmost effort, yet ultimately only receives one share!"

"Alas!"

Protector Han sighed leisurely, even forcing a tear from his eye, "It truly wrongs my good Disciple, who expended so much effort, only to ultimately receive this last one-tenth."

"How heartbroken I, his Revered Master, am! Doesn't True Disciple Su understand at all?"

"If others don't feel for my Disciple, then would I, his Revered Master... a Revered Master for a day, a father for life, not feel for him either?"

Facing Protector Han's emotional appeal, Su Ran's face showed a cold smile.

He let out a scoff.

"If you don't nitpick Yang Yucheng's last share, I'd say he should thank the heavens and earth. Even this one share is a considerable fortune for him, who hasn't even reached the Spirit Venerable Realm yet!"

"No!"

Protector Han raised his head and nodded, "Am I, his Revered Master, such a greedy person? Moreover, I believe!"

"Perhaps, he can create an even bigger business!"

Su Ran shook his head at these words, rolling his eyes wildly.

He admitted,

he hadn't expected the ascension insurance to reach its current stage.

In just half a month, it already had the potential for tens of millions of Spirit Crystals annually, and following this trend, if it continued to develop systematically,

this trend had a very high chance of becoming reality, but a business above tens of millions of Spirit Crystals, reaching hundreds of millions of such a level.
