Soon, Qin Guan arrived at the living room and saw Nan Rou chatting and laughing with Jiang Lianyue. Qin Guan hurried forward and said with a smile, "Miss Jiang, thank you for waiting."

"You're quite something, asking someone for help and then making them wait for you at your place! I can't believe you'd do that!" Jiang Lianyue's expression turned displeased upon seeing Qin Guan.

Nan Rou also gave Qin Guan a resentful look. She had been going crazy with her cultivation these past few days, not even returning to her room to sleep.

"Haha!" Qin Guan grinned.

"Go ahead, what do you need me for?" Jiang Lianyue looked at Qin Guan.

"I heard the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's formation masters have first-class craftsmanship. I accidentally collapsed my cultivation room a while ago. I wonder if the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion can help the Nan Family build a new cultivation room?"

Recently, he heard Nan Rou mention that the family disciples currently had no cultivation rooms and could only cultivate in their own rooms, greatly reducing their efficiency. Nan Yunqi was worried about this.

"You're really something!" Hearing Qin Guan say he collapsed the cultivation room, Jiang Lianyue couldn't help but give him a thumbs-up.

"That cultivation room had been neglected for years and was a bit run-down," Qin Guan said with an awkward laugh. "How much funding would it take to build one?"

"That depends on what kind of quality you're looking for. A basic one would cost tens of millions of gold, while a high-end one could cost hundreds of millions, with no upper limit," Jiang Lianyue said with a smile.

"That expensive!" Qin Guan was shocked by the price. So he had caused such a huge disaster. No wonder Nan Yunqi had wanted to fight him to the death back then.

"What do you think? A good cultivation room can help cultivators achieve twice the results with half the effort. This is crucial for the development of a family's power. Just hiring a skilled formation master is a considerable expense."

Speaking of this, Jiang Lianyue suddenly looked at Nan Rou and smiled, "Of course, for Rou'er sister's sake, the fee for the formation master, which is tens of millions, can be waived. However, you'll have to provide the materials yourselves."

Upon hearing this, Qin Guan looked at Nan Rou in confusion. When did this girl become Jiang Lianyue's sister?

As if sensing Qin Guan's thoughts, Nan Rou smiled and said, "Husband, Yue'er and I hit it off immediately. We just became sworn sisters."

Sworn sisters, this is great! A rich sister-in-law, for sure.

"That's wonderful!" Qin Guan smiled and then turned to a maid, "Quickly, go call the Family Head here."

Even if the formation master's fee was waived, the remaining materials would surely not be cheap, and Qin Guan had no money on him.

Upon learning that Jiang Lianyue was here, Nan Yunqi rushed over.

"Miss Jiang, please forgive my oversight in not welcoming you sooner!"

"Uncle Nan, you are too kind," Jiang Lianyue said with a smile.

At this moment, Qin Guan looked at Nan Yunqi and said, "Father-in-law, how much money does the Nan Family have on hand right now?"

Nan Yunqi thought for a moment and said, "We have a little over two million."

"So little," Qin Guan's mouth twitched. The Nan Family was truly an empty shell!

Seeing Qin Guan's strange expression, Nan Yunqi frowned and asked, "Do you need money?"

"No, I was originally planning to ask Miss Jiang to help build a cultivation room, but I didn't expect we only had two million," Qin Guan waved his hand.

Hearing this, Nan Yunqi sighed, "Many of the family's assets and shops were taken by the First Elder and Second Elder, and many of our shops are currently operating at a loss."

Qin Guan frowned, "They took them? Why didn't you get them back?"

Nan Yunqi said helplessly, "We don't have enough manpower right now, and the Spirit Sword Academy might seek revenge. I don't dare to let the disciples go out easily!"

Qin Guan fell silent upon hearing this. After a moment, he suddenly shouted outside the door, "Old Mo!"

As soon as he spoke, a burly middle-aged man suddenly appeared eerily at the entrance of the hall.

Seeing the middle-aged man, Nan Yunqi was startled. Who was this person? Where did he come from?

Jiang Lianyue also frowned slightly. This person's aura was steady and restrained, exuding an imposing presence without being angry, giving people an invisible sense of pressure.

"Young Master, what are your orders?" The middle-aged man came before Qin Guan and respectfully asked.

"This afternoon, take two men and accompany my father-in-law to the Xiao Family. Reclaim all the assets that those two traitorous elders took when they defected," Qin Guan said.

Now that the Xiao Family's Old Ancestor Xiao Yun was dead, and Xiao Yeshan had been crippled by him, there was no threat whatsoever.

"Yes!" Old Mo nodded and then retreated.

Qin Guan looked at Nan Yunqi, "Father-in-law, don't be soft on traitors. We should reclaim what's ours and fight for what we can in Luyun City. As for the Spirit Sword Academy, you don't need to worry."

Nan Yunqi nodded quickly. It seemed Qin Guan had found help. The strength of the person called Old Mo was clearly no less than his own.

Nan Yunqi thought for a moment, then looked at Jiang Lianyue, "Miss Jiang, I still have some spiritual materials here. Could you help me put them in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion and sell them for a good price?"

"What good things does Uncle Nan have?" Jiang Lianyue asked with a smile.

Nan Yunqi took out a Storage Bag and handed it to Jiang Lianyue.

Jiang Lianyue opened the Storage Bag, and when she saw the pile of precious spiritual herbs and materials inside, her beautiful eyes lit up. "Uncle Nan, you've struck it rich!"

Nan Yunqi rubbed his hands and smiled, "It was all brought by Qin Guan. I wonder how much it's worth?"

"Three Spirit Flower Immortal Grasses, market price is over five million each. Plus the Hundred-Year Blood Ginseng, Lingzhi Mushrooms, and Spirit Gathering Grass, they should add up to over ten million. Uncle Nan, these items can be sold for thirty million without a problem."
