2986 Wealth in Heaven

The Lunisolar Shrine displayed cunning by wishing to be an indifferent merchant, unconcerned with the financial reckoning.

This stratagem arose from the fact that the journey to the Lunisolar secret realm included the Crown Prince of the Divine Province, the Chen Prince of the Ultramarine Province, and the Crown Prince of the Nether Province. Moreover, it encompassed numerous exceptional disciples hailing from prominent patrician families.

It was challenging to guarantee that the family elders would not vent their frustrations upon the temple should anything befall their prized disciples.

Naturally, the Lunisolar Shrine was not naive. They had no desire to incur the wrath of the Three Provinces’ Emperors, hence their preemptive introduction of this approach.

By signing the covenant, one would naturally bear the responsibility for any misfortunes that transpired, absolving the temple of any blame.

Zhongli Zhiwei’s eyes gleamed, and she stated composedly, “So, even if we face danger in the mystic realm, the temple will not offer assistance?”

Chen Baojia couldn’t help but scoff sardonically. “The Divine Palace has truly devised a shrewd plan!”

Her Ladyship Qiaoqiao took a covenant from the priest, briefly examined it, and disdainfully discarded it on the ground.

The Holy Son was infuriated by the nonchalant demeanor of the young stoic. Disregarding the priest by her side, she directed her glare at Qiaoqiao. “Do you no longer wish to enter the secret realm?”

“What preposterous covenant are you prattling about?” Qi Xuanxuan bluntly retorted from the sidelines. “So, you mean to say that when entering the secret realm, life and death hinge on fate, and the temple absolves itself of responsibility?”

“And to top it off, this! Non-devotees of our temple can only choose to retain a single secret treasure upon exiting the secret realm, while the remainder of their findings must be surrendered to the temple!”

“Ah, what nonsense! Shameless!” Qi Xuanxuan rolled her eyes and huffed. “You want people to work for your temple but refuse to grant them any benefits! Who do you take us for, fools?”

Holy Son Miyan’s countenance darkened as she responded with an air of indifference, “Once within the secret realm, life and death are indeed at the mercy of fate. The temple is not limited to bringing only 32 students from the Imperial Academy on this excursion. Additionally, dozens of students from various academies across the Three Provinces will join us.”

“In addition, we have enlisted many talents from the Nether Province, Divine Province, Ultramarine Province, and even several tribes beyond the Three Provinces to venture into the secret realm alongside us.”

“Once inside, everyone is expected to follow orders initially, allowing us time to disperse.”

“This covenant isn’t designed to single out students from the Imperial Academy,” Holy Son Miyan retorted icily. “It’s a pact that every non-believer must sign before entering the secret realm.”

In essence, if you refuse to sign it, you won’t be allowed to participate.

Everyone had invested significant time and effort securing their precious slots. Surrendering them now was hardly a palatable prospect.

“Nonsense,” the young stoic declared nonchalantly, prompting all eyes to converge on her.

Uninterested in protracted discourse, she tugged at her husband’s sleeve.

Mo Lian, both amused and exasperated, acquiesced, “Our quotas were exchanged for your Holy Daughter’s life. Do not forget that.”

“We won’t endorse this covenant,” Mo Lian stated apathetically. “If you deny us entry, surrender your Holy Daughter.”

“Indeed, execute her,” Qiao Mu nodded with a solemn expression.

The Holy Son Miyan’s ire flared, causing her considerable distress.
