"Ah? Make it public, and free? Don't you know how much money those expensive divine manuals have made for us?" Ruan Yu'er looked at me as if I were an idiot.
"I know. But have you ever thought about how much Zulan would lose if I made the divine manuals meant exclusively for Heavenly City's prodigies public right now?" I said with a smile. Ruan Yu'er froze, then hurriedly said, "You never intended to sell them to ordinary disciples of Heavenly City in the first place!?"
"What disciple could afford this thing? Among the high-level Immortals who can afford it, who can't refine Heavenly Crystals? So your worries are unnecessary. Unless they're filthy rich, who would buy this stuff?" I said with a laugh.

You laid out this plan step by step, making so many disciples outside say that you were an unjust and heartless merchant who would suffer retribution sooner or later.
