The cannon fodder heiress trembled with fear after being recognized as a member of her family.

Ma Youcai was straightforward, and Han Cuiyin didn't hide anything either.

"I originally came here tonight intending to exchange that piece of wood for Boss Ma's two-tenths of the profits—"

"Father, please agree quickly!" Before Ma Youcai could express his opinion, Ma Xuankang was the first to jump out. "There are several top-grade weapons in this treasure bag. Also, I will go with you when you go to sea in the future. It is very safe to keep valuables here."

Ma Xuankang held the earthen-yellow purse with great affection.

This magic bag can hold dozens of times more than his master's; by any measure, they've come out on top.

Ma Youcai pushed his son aside, saying, "Get out of the way, I'll talk to you. Take your things and go play somewhere else."

Although Ma Youcai loves money, he doesn't like taking advantage of others.

It's clear now that the Ma family has come out on top.

Despite Miss Yang's seemingly weak and isolated position, he dared not offend her easily.

Those at the Innate Realm still have some dignity; with Master Xuan Kang around, they can't do anything to the Ma family.

But this Miss Yang is so clever and mischievous that they easily fall into a trap if they're not careful.

“Miss Yang is short of money right now, so why not take 40% of the profits from my Ma family? If this piece of wood becomes useless in the future, Miss Yang can replace it with something else to ensure the safety of my Ma family’s merchant ships.”

Ma Youcai is ruthless. Now he is focused on befriending Han Cuiyin, and he would give up these benefits without batting an eye.

"Father, why are you being so generous this time? You wouldn't even give my master 20% of the profits back then." Ma Xuankang, who was standing nearby, was also somewhat surprised after hearing this.

"Young Master Ma, there are some weapons in my purse. Take a look and see if you like them."

Han Cuiyin used these things to gag him, trying to quiet him down.

"Okay, I'll go check it out! You guys continue, hehe~" Even the slow-witted Ma Xuankang noticed something was wrong and stopped causing trouble.

“Mr. Ma, before I came here, I really wanted to tear a big chunk of flesh off you. Just because of this piece of wood, you'll be much safer in the future.”

She was telling the truth; she really intended to exchange the wood for money and, incidentally, keep quiet.

However, Ma Youcai's attitude made her hesitate.

This person knew that the necklace and the earrings were unusual pieces of jewelry.

"Thank you so much, Miss Yang, for your generosity! But I can't let you suffer a loss; from now on, I'll take 40% of the profits—"

“No need! Mr. Ma, do you know the origin of that necklace and earrings?” Han Cuiyin interrupted, her dark face revealing no change in her emotions.

Ma Youcai pondered to himself, even his Xuan Kang couldn't figure out the difference between the two items, but Miss Yang seemed to know.

"This was also obtained by chance. This time when we went out to sea, we arrived at a small island. No one from Da Ye Chao was discovered on that island, but we are regular customers. These two pieces of jewelry were found at a small stall, just as a bonus."

"Indeed, I almost misjudged it before; there's more to it than meets the eye."

These things were made by Qingyun, so they're useless to those who steal them.

Only she can activate these pieces of jewelry for them to work.

These little ideas were thought up by Qingyun when she was bored, and were originally intended to pass the time.

Getting here might actually fulfill her wish.

Han Cuiyin is no longer conflicted. Good things should be used. No one here can control her anymore, and no one will try to restrain her with grand principles.

When is Mr. Ma's next sea voyage?

Instead of just listening to what others say, it's better to go and see for yourself in the area.

There's always a clue.

Qingyun is keeping all these things. She now has a suspicion and needs to go there to verify it.

Qingyun is the young sect leader of the Hehuan Sect, and her ability to make a living is no less than hers.

Han Cuiyin isn't worried about Qingyun's safety right now; she's just afraid that once Qingyun arrives here, she'll indulge in all sorts of vices and ruin herself.

She wasn't worried if Qingyun offered these things in exchange.

These ornaments can only be activated by the Sun Flame; no other method will work.

"The next voyage will be at least next year, but we have craftsmen there. If Miss Yang needs any help, I can assist you."

If Ma Youcai weren't shrewd, he wouldn't have built his current fortune.

He noticed that the jewelry was unusual there, and when he found the stall owner who sold it to him, he only learned about the effects of the jewelry from that person.

It promotes longevity and improves skin health.

Ma Youcai didn't take it seriously at first.

He was just using that necklace as a gimmick to sell it the day before yesterday, since it was free anyway.

Who knew it would cause such a big problem?

That Imperial Preceptor Mo only fiddled with it a few times, and the necklace changed.

Ma Youcai then realized that the stall owner had also misjudged the situation.

The necklace and earrings are absolutely treasures.

"I want your help to find the whereabouts of the owner of this set of jewelry. If you can't find them, keep an eye out for a string of Buddhist prayer beads made of the same material and a phoenix tail tassel hairpin. If you can find them, I will reward you in another way."

Han Cuiyin remained calm and composed, painting an even bigger and more perfect picture of the future.

“Sure! In a few days, I’ll send my good-for-nothing son out to sea. He’s not very bright, but he’s quite skilled in martial arts. He can always do his part for you, Miss.”

The two reached an agreement, and only then did Ma Xuankang realize that his father had thrown him out to sea again.

"Oh~ If Young Master Ma goes in person, I'll give him some life-saving items. Boss Ma doesn't need to worry about his safety." Han Cuiyin is no longer the sheltered young lady who only thinks about beautiful clothes and jewelry. The tempering in the world of immortality has long made her understand people's hearts.

She gladly accepted the Ma family's overtures.

Ma Xuankang watched helplessly as the two of them arranged his whereabouts.

He who takes a bribe is bound to be indebted to others!

He didn't suffer any loss either.

He's going to take this treasure back to the mountain; they'll be so envious.

Han Cuiyin then took out a dark wooden sword. "Young Master Ma, this wooden sword is a gift for you."

Ma Xuankang looked strange, and Mu Jian and Han Cuiyin had the same expression.

The wooden sword wasn't very attractive, but a lotus flower was carved on the hilt, which added a touch of cuteness to it.

"Young Master Ma, try using your internal energy, and you will discover the secrets within."

This wooden sword was carved by her in her spare time using the flames of the sun and tempered by the moonlight. It is no less powerful than a magic weapon, let alone the divine weapon here.

With a casual wave of his hand, Ma Xuankang removed the door, leaving a crack in the ground.

"You good-for-nothing, can't you try it in an open space?" Ma Youcai chased after him and beat him again.

After the father and son had finished arguing, Han Cuiyin exchanged contact information with them before returning home.

Ma Xuankang glanced at the address on the paper. "Ping'an Lane? This Miss Yang is quite shrewd."

"Of course! Do you think she can pretend to be stupid and clumsy in front of a Xiantian Realm expert without being discovered? She's no ordinary person! Luckily, we're allies with her! Go home and spend a few days with your mother, then go to that island to look for people and things!"

With just a few words, Ma Youcai decided Ma Xuankang's fate.

"Father, why did you still mention what happened that day? Didn't Grand Preceptor Mo forbid it from being publicized?" Ma Xuankang carefully sheathed his wooden sword. "Miss Yang didn't ask."

"Xuan Kang, I'll teach you a lesson today! Grand Preceptor Mo is already ninety years old, and Han Cuiyin is still so young. If you can befriend our Ma family now, you'll be set for decades to come. You should come back and carry on the family line after you've done your job, otherwise, who will inherit this huge family fortune!"

Ma Youcai then brought up the topic of marriage and having children, leaving Ma Xuankang with no choice but to steer the conversation toward Han Cuiyin, "Father, are you so sure that Miss Yang is more capable than Grand Preceptor Mo?"

"Those who conceal their talents possess a sharp weapon in their hearts, making them invincible. Just you wait and see, the Han family will regret it sooner or later!"

After Ma Youcai finished speaking, he lay down and said, "Wave a fan for me, and I'll tell you what happened here..."

Father and son talked until the rooster crowed before finally lying down to catch up on sleep.

However, Han Cuiyin's heart was not at peace after returning home.

"It would be a good thing if Qingyun came too."
