Zhou Guibo arrived at the ruins of the ancestral hall a little later to take part in dividing the spoils.
The items were ultimately divided into five shares, each worth around five hundred spirit stones, leaving everyone flushed with excitement.
Authority and its instruments must never be entrusted to others. Naturally, Liu Yu would not let someone else handle the distribution of benefits; he personally wielded the knife to slice the cake.
Absolute fairness was impossible, of course. It went without saying that his own share was the most valuable.
Next came Wu Chang, who had grown closer to him and showed signs of becoming his lackey. He received a little more as well, giving him a taste of the rewards.
Last were Zhou Guibo, Xie Huaxiong, and Sun Ju, whose shares were roughly equal.
On the surface, however, there was little difference between the five shares. Liu Yu would not leave anyone an obvious opening for criticism; appearances still had to be maintained.
Once Wu Chang and the others received their shares, delight involuntarily spread across their faces. Their smiles were radiant, their cheeks flushed.
To them, this was already a "vast fortune"-nearly five hundred spirit stones. If they refrained from buying pills to improve their cultivation, they could grit their teeth and afford a superior-grade magical artifact.
Their strength would then improve modestly at once, undoubtedly further increasing their chances of survival in the turbulent cultivation world of the Chu Kingdom.
Having received tangible benefits, the four became even more convinced of Liu Yu's abilities. They felt that Senior Brother Liu possessed both the strength and the strategic insight to lead them.
Zhou Guibo and the other two, in particular, could scarcely believe it. Had such a wealth of resources really fallen into their hands just like that?
