"This..."
Fang Han looked at the envelope but did not pick it up, and frowned slightly.
"Don't worry, young master, this is the usual practice. The other four people who came with the young master, Clan Head, also offer them with their heart. They have no other intention, just to form a good relationship."
Seeing Fang Han hesitate, Xu Yan quickly added.
Hearing that the other four people also had it, Fang Han's doubts disappeared. He pondered for a moment and reached out to take the envelope.
My hand felt slightly heavy, and the envelope seemed heavy.
"Xu Clan Head You're welcome."
Fang Han said with a somewhat polite tone.
"Then I won't disturb the young master's rest, and I will resign."
Xu Yan smiled immediately after hearing this.
After speaking, he bowed, carefully exited the room, and gently closed the door.
Fang Han walked to the table and picked up the envelope.
Touching it with his fingertips, he could feel that there was a thick stack of paper inside. He opened the envelope and poured the contents onto the table.
There were actually five silver notes, each with a denomination of one thousand taels, for a total of five thousand taels of silver!
Although Fang Han had been mentally prepared for it, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised at this moment.
Five thousand taels! This is too much!
If Liu Ye, Wang Meng, Sun Ming, and Bai Feng each have five thousand taels, then Xu Clan is just "managing" their five disciples this time, and will have to give away twenty-five thousand taels of silver!
Or maybe, because of the strength and potential he showed during the day... these five thousand taels were given to him alone?
Fang Han's eyes flickered, and thoughts raced in his mind.
It seems that the reason why this task of collecting donations was given away as a "favor" by Deacon Liang is not only because of the rich contribution value, but also because of the oil and water involved.
On the other side, after the housekeeper Xu Yan left Fang Han's room, he did not go back to his own residence, but went straight to Clan Head Xu Rong's study.
In the study, Xu Rong was reading an account book under the light.
"Sir." Xu Yan bowed and saluted.
"Have you sent all the banknotes?"
Xu Rong asked calmly.
"Master, I sent them all over. The other four people accepted them readily. Mr. Fang was a little hesitant at first, but the old slave said that the other four people also had them, so he accepted them."
Xu Yan replied respectfully, then showed a trace of confusion on his face and asked carefully.
"Sir, I have something unclear. Even if I want to show my kindness, according to the past practice, one thousand taels per person is enough. Why only give this Fang Han... five thousand taels? This is... too heavy."
Xu Rong Hearing this, he put down his account book, his eyes were deep, and there was a sly smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Uncle Fu, you are still a bit short-sighted."
He put down the account book and said slowly.
"Did you know that in just a few months, Fang Han Beginner stage went from being unknown to Zi Courtyard, ranking seventh in the top ten?"
He paid to get all this information from the handymen who followed the convoy.
"This boy is so extraordinary."
Xu Yan had a look of surprise on his face.
"This child's talent is astonishing and his rapid growth is truly rare."
Xu Rong said solemnly.
"In the battle at the White Market, you also saw that Mo Yuan, who ranked fifth in Netherworld Pavilion this year, also suffered a loss under his hands."
"In the future, as long as this child doesn't die prematurely, he will surely occupy a place in the Azure Profound Sect, and even... True Disciple can be expected!"
He paused, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"Five thousand taels of silver is a huge sum of money to an ordinary warrior, but to a future disciple of True Disciple, and to a person who may become a high-ranking figure of the Azure Profound Sect, what is it?"
"Today I use five thousand taels to form a good relationship and let him remember my "heart" of the Xu Clan. In the future, I may be able to bring ten or a hundred times returns to my Xu Clan. Do you think this investment is a loss?"
"I admire my master's foresight and foresight. Helping him in times of need is far better than adding icing on the cake. It is wise to invest before he fully rises."
Xu Yan suddenly realized it, with a look of admiration on his face.
"Go on down. The supplies will be delivered tomorrow. Make sure everything is properly arranged and there won't be any mistakes."
Xu Rong nodded, picked up the account book again, and waved his hand.
"Yes, sir." Xu Yan bowed and stepped back, gently closing the study door.
In the study, the lights flickered, reflecting Xu Rong's pensive face.
In the early morning of the next day, the sky was slightly bright, and Baishan City Xu Mansion was already in full swing in front of the door.
The same supplies were loaded onto the carriage that came with the five people Fang Han.
Fang Han Five people took the list and compared them one by one to avoid mistakes.
Fang Han, who has already suffered a loss, is extremely cautious about this.
It took more than an hour to count all the materials delivered this year and load them into the truck.
"Xu Clan Head has taken the trouble. We have checked the supply list and it is correct. Now we will set off back to the sect to resume our duties."
Fang Han The five people glanced at the convoy and nodded slightly.
"Bon voyage!"
Xu Rong quickly handed over his hand, and everyone Xu Clan behind him also echoed in unison.
Fang Han Five people boarded the carriage and signaled the convoy to set off.
With the shouts of the drivers and the sound of whips, the heavy carriage wheels slowly turned and made a creaking sound.
Xu Rong personally brought a group of Lineage core members to send him off, with a warm yet respectful smile on his face.
The convoy left Xu Mansion, drove out of Baishan City gate, and embarked on the official road back to the Azure Profound Sect.
Different from the relaxed mood when they came, on the way back, the expressions of the five Fang Han were a little solemn.
After all, the carriage was filled with valuable supplies, and the conflict with the Nether Pavilion disciples yesterday made them worried that Nether Pavilion disciples might harbor a grudge and set an ambush for revenge along the way.
"We took the official route when we came."
Liu Ye suggested to Fang Han with a hint of worry in his brows and a low voice.
"Just in case, I suggest changing the route. Although it will take more detours, it will avoid possible troubles and will be safer."
In the world of warriors, strength is respected, especially among sects. After seeing Fang Han's strength yesterday, she naturally regarded Fang Han as the person to talk about this trip.
Fang Han pondered for a moment and glanced at Sun Ming, Bai Feng and Wang Meng. Seeing approval in their eyes, he nodded.
"To be on the safe side, just follow Senior Sister Liu's words."
Therefore, at the next fork in the road, the convoy deviated from the spacious and flat official road where it came from, and turned into a slightly narrow, remote path winding through hilly forestland.
This road was indeed very difficult to navigate, the road surface was bumpy and uneven, and the speed of the car obviously slowed down.
There are dense trees on both sides, blocking the view, adding to the tense atmosphere.
Fang Han The five of them did not dare to be careless in the slightest, and did not even care about their cultivation. They were highly concentrated, listening to six directions, looking in all directions, and were always alert to possible attacks.
However, unexpectedly, it was calm all the way.
Apart from the occasional frightened birds and scurrying hares, we did not encounter any ambush, and we did not even encounter any robbers.
"It seems we are worrying too much!"
After two consecutive days of intense vigilance, Sun Ming relaxed his tense expression slightly and said with a grin.
Just the wound involving his ribs made him take a breath again.
Bai Feng is still taciturn, but the sharpness in his eyes has softened a bit.
Wang Meng sat upright on the horse, his cold eyes swept across the quiet forest, and nodded slightly, agreeing with Sun Ming's judgment.
Fang Han felt a little relieved, but he did not completely relax his vigilance. As long as he did not return to the sect, he might encounter danger.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the third day when he saw the familiar majestic silhouette of Azure Profound Mountain from a distance that the big stone in his heart really fell to the ground.
One day later than scheduled, the team finally arrived at the foot of the Azure Profound Sect mountain safely.
Looking at the majestic mountain gate and the familiar cyan clothes of the disciples on duty in front of the gate, the tense nerves of the four Liu Ye, Sun Ming, Bai Feng, and Wang Meng finally relaxed completely, and a relieved smile appeared on their faces.
Fang Han The trace of solemnity deep in his eyes also quietly disappeared, but his expression remained calm.
The handover process went extremely smoothly.
Several disciples who specialize in inspection came forward and checked carefully.
The entire inspection process was efficient and rigorous, and was completed in less than half an hour. It was confirmed that the quality and quantity of all materials met the requirements, and there were no mistakes.
"The task was completed correctly and the contribution value has been allocated."
Deacon, who was in charge of registration, passed Fang Han and Identity Jade Token of the five people one by one on the inkstone-shaped object, and handed it back after the faint light flickered.
"Thank you Deacon."
Fang Han took the jade sign, Internal Qi vomited slightly and saw that the number on it had changed from "60" to "180".
One hundred and twenty contribution points were successfully received.
Four people, Liu Ye, Sun Ming, Bai Feng, and Wang Meng, also looked happy, obviously very satisfied with the generous rewards of this mission.
The five people said goodbye to each other and dispersed.
Fang Han Go straight back to Zi Courtyard Room C-7.
After closing the door and bolting it, the familiar faint smell of dust in the room made him feel completely at peace.
He walked to the table, sat down, and took out Identity Jade Token again.
"One hundred and eighty contribution points..."
Fingertips brushed over the warm jade surface, feeling the numbers contained in it, and a trace of satisfaction flashed in Fang Han's eyes.
To redeem a Medium Grade footwork, it usually requires one hundred to one hundred and fifty contribution points.
Now he has 180 points, which is more than enough, and he even has a slight surplus.
The reward for this mission is huge, far exceeding any mission he has received before.
"One hundred and twenty contribution points are equivalent to two thousand four hundred taels of silver..."
"Xu Clan also separately donated five thousand taels... The net income from this mission was as high as seven thousand four hundred taels of silver!"
Fang Han couldn't help but be stunned by his harvest this time.
He had never imagined that such a harvest could come from one mission. Before that, he had never imagined it.
However, he also knew that the reason why he could obtain such benefits was because this mission was a high-quality mission that was not disclosed to the public, and also because Xu Clan valued his potential and future.
On the way, when he asked the four Wang Meng about the Xu Clan's "feelings", Wang Meng replied coldly, "One thousand taels", and the same was true for Liu Ye, Sun Ming and others.
He was the only one who received five thousand taels, and the difference in treatment was self-evident.
"Strength... the source of all preferential treatment is strength after all."
Fang Han gently rubbed the jade plaque, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
If you have strength, others will value you and be willing to invest in you.
In this world, strength is ultimately respected.
If you want to obtain more resources, you must have stronger strength.
"In the next period of time, it's time to practice quietly."
He put away the jade token and made a decision in his heart.
Although taking on missions frequently can quickly accumulate resources, if it delays basic cultivation, it will be a waste of time.
<Startling Swan Step> has reached the peak of Greater Accomplishment, and is only one step away from the Perfection Realm.
The most urgent task is to strike while the iron is hot and practice this footwork to the Perfection Realm in one fell swoop.
By then, his Body Movement speed and flexibility will surely reach a higher level, and his overall strength will also increase accordingly.
