Seeing that Xi Manyun was at a loss for words, Wang Chen smiled. "Let me ask another question. Do you want to take over Xiang Yingzhe's territory?"
Xi Manyun was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "I do."
How could she not want to?
The one district and five streets under Xiang Yingzhe's control were immensely lucrative.
If Xi Manyun had no ambition, then as a female cultivator blessed with both beauty and talent, she could easily have found a cultivation partner of equal standing—or even higher status—to rely on and lived a comfortable life.
There would have been no need for her to endure exclusion in the Heavenly Master Pavilion, struggling bitterly and unwillingly.
The Xi Family was a great clan, with outstanding descendants among both its direct and collateral branches in abundance. Xi Manyun was neither heaven's chosen nor male, so it was impossible for her to receive the family's full support.
If she wanted to take another step forward on the path of cultivation, she had to gather some cultivation resources for herself.
If Xiang Yingzhe's one district and five streets fell into her hands, Xi Manyun could live exceedingly well just on the tributes and offerings from the workshops and shops.
She could even support the family in return!
She dreamed of such a good thing.
But dreams were one thing; Xi Manyun's mind remained exceptionally clear.
This territory would not be easy to take over!
Once she accepted it, it would mean fully taking Wang Chen's side and boarding his ship.
There would be no room left for reconciliation with Wu Jingwei.
Would it be worth it?
"It's good that you have the intention."
Wang Chen said, "There's no need to rush. Go back and think it over carefully. Tell me your answer tomorrow."
Now
