1832 Trump Card

This was also something Chu Liuyue couldn’t figure out.

Looking at the actions of the people from Black Sword Sect, they didn’t seem to be kind.

The truth was that although San San gave them a large sum of valuable treasures every month and would be bullied by them from time to time, Sansan was indeed living well and earning a lot of money. This didn’t make sense.

At the mention of this, San San’s expression became a little subtle. For once, he looked conflicted as if he didn’t know how to start. “This… This is a long story…”

He glanced outside. After making sure there were no outsiders, he said, “Master, Your Highness, you know Clear Water Cliff, right?”

Chu Liuyue nodded. “Previously, Xiao Zhao said that Clear Water Cliff was split open by lightning. There’s another small space inside with countless natural treasures?”

San San sighed. “Yes, it’s all because of Clear Water Cliff.”

“When I first came here, I had been thinking about opening up a small business, but I never thought of it. Later on, I was frustrated and wanted to go to Clear Water Cliff to relax. In the end, I encountered the lightning.”

“Fortunately, I reacted quickly and ran in time, so the lightning didn’t strike me. However, the lightning was so powerful that it stirred up the surrounding natural energy. I couldn’t get out at all, so I could only find a slightly safer place to hide.”

“The lightning struck for half the night and finally stopped when it was almost midnight. Originally, I had finally avoided a calamity and planned to leave quickly. In the end, I accidentally took a glance and realized that Clear Water Cliff had been forcefully split into two by the lightning! For some reason, a lake appeared in the middle. I was curious and thought that since the lightning had passed, there shouldn’t be any danger. Thus, I went over.”

At this point, San San rubbed his face. “Sigh, who knew that there was really another world in that place!? I thought it was a lake, but in fact, it’s a unique space. Countless natural treasures are gathered there!”

This was really a windfall.

He would usually pick up a copper coin on the way, let alone see such a scene.

“I was so excited that I went over without thinking. As soon as I reached out, the barrier suddenly fluctuated and cut my palm… Then, I really went in. And… and…” San San sounded hesitant.

However, Chu Liuyue understood something. “You’ve also become the owner of that small space?”

San San scratched his head and replied embarrassedly. He looked up at Chu Liuyue. “If I had known this would happen, I would’ve left that small space for Master no matter what!”

Chu Liuyue couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Alright, this is your opportunity. It should belong to you. Why are you still dilly-dallying?”

How could she not know what kind of person San San was? He was probably overjoyed to have obtained such a small space by chance. He was saying this now to show his loyalty.

She knew his thoughts and methods like the back of her hand, so there was no need to guess.

San San immediately smiled and rubbed his hands. “Hehe… Master knows me best…”

He did want to leave this thing to his master, but opportunities were indeed unpredictable.

“Master, don’t worry! Since this small space is mine, it’ll naturally be yours in the future!”

Chu Liuyue stroked her chin and smiled. “In other words, that small space is now under your control completely?”

San San shook his head. “That’s not entirely true. It’s just that compared to others, I can enter and leave at will and bring a few people with me. I personally bring people to pick those herbs every time.”

That was enough.

That small space was equivalent to a treasure vault, and San San was the only person who held the key!

San San lowered his voice. “Actually… I later discovered that the stronger I am, the more people I can bring over.”

His current strength was limited, so he could only bring a few. But if his strength soared in the future, he might be able to bring dozens or hundreds of people with him!

“However, the people of Black Sword Sect don’t know this. They only know that if I die, the small space will be sealed off again and even collapse. Therefore, they haven’t dared to really do anything to me.”

This was also San San’s confidence.

Only then did Chu Liuyue understand. No wonder… If that’s the case, it isn’t difficult to understand why the relationship between San San and Black Sword Sect was so strange. The people of Black Sword Sect use San San to obtain these natural treasures. As for San San, he is also borrowing the power of Black Sword Sect to gain a foothold here.

Chu Liuyue stared at him. “San San, this is asking a tiger for its skin.”

San San coughed and looked aggrieved. “Master, I have no choice…”

As he spoke, he hurriedly winked at Cen Yi. Please speak up for me!

Cen Yi had barely spoken since he came in. Seeing that San San was anxious for help, he slowly said, “It’s dangerous for him to do this, but it’s a win-win situation. In any case, it’s better than being at the mercy of others.”

After all, San San still had a trump card that could save his life.

Wu Yao said, “Big Brother is right.”

Yu Jiu said, “Big Brother is right.”

Thirteen said, “Big Brother is right.”

Shi Wan said, “Big Brother is right. Master, Third Brother is equivalent to a hen that knows how to lay eggs. If the people from Black Sword Sect have any brains, they won’t kill the chicken to get the eggs!”

The corners of San San’s mouth twitched violently as he stared at Shi Fang resentfully.

After the circle of people finished speaking, the room fell silent again.

Chu Liuyue glanced at Xiao Ba.

At this moment, the latter was leaning back in her chair with her chin in her hand, looking very listless.

Chu Liuyue asked, “Xiao Ba, what do you think?”

Xiao Ba said nothing.

“Xiao Ba?” Chu Liuyue called again.

Only then did Xiao Ba come back to her senses and look up at her. “What? Ah, right—Big Brother is right!”

Xiao Ba wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she glanced at San San. “Nothing. I was just shocked by Third Brother’s aesthetic taste.”
