Chapter 0026 – The More You Take, the Deeper Your Relationship – Absolute Returns

“Desire is a common human condition, why cover it up? It’s a great relief in my heart that Your Excellency is able to be so open!” Jin Ah Soo patted Jian Wuji’s shoulder, his eyes filled with appreciation.

“Master Jin Zhuang is overpraised.” Jian Wuji said modestly.

“By the way, Enkong used Heavenly Silkworm Silk to make a parcel, what a smart move!” Jin Ah-Su couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration when he noticed the parcel Jian Wuji used to contain the gold, silver, and jewels.

“Thank you, Master Jin Zhuang for the compliment.” Jian Wuji said with a smile.

“Once we say goodbye today, I don’t know when we can see each other again, why don’t we ……” Jin Ah Su hadn’t even finished his words when he was interrupted by Jian Wuji.

“I appreciate Lord Jin Zhuang’s kindness, it’s just that I have to catch up, so I won’t bother you much. See you later!” Jian Wuji clasped his fists and turned to leave.

“This ……” Kim Ah-soo was about to say something, but he was pulled back by Kim Si-yeon.

“Father, don’t force yourself, this benefactor is not an ordinary person at first glance, it’s better if we don’t disturb him too much.” Jin Si Ren persuaded in a low voice.

“Alas, so be it.” Jin Ah-Su sighed and eyed Jian Wuji’s distant figure with regret in his eyes.

“Father, are you really not going to ask that benefactor’s name and origin?” Jin Si Ren asked.

“There’s no need for that, we’ll meet each other when we’re destined to.” Jin Ah-Su shook his head and said, “It’s already an honor for the old man to be able to be acquainted with such a young hero.”

“Alright then.” Jin Si Ren didn’t say anything more, and the father-daughter duo walked into the treasure trove side by side.

After leaving the Gold Manor, Jian Wuji bought a carriage in a nearby town and loaded all the gold, silver, and jewels on it, then drove all the way to the Demon Sect’s main altar.

Along the way, he sold a portion of his gold and silver jewelry and exchanged it for cash silver. Since the quantity was too large, he had to find a few pawnshops to sell them in every city he visited, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

In the end, he exchanged all the gold and silver jewels for white silver, worth a total of three million eight hundred thousand taels of silver!

“With this amount of money, we can start forming our own forces.” Jian Wuji secretly said in his heart.

He deposited three and a half million taels of silver into the Central Plains Money Bank, the Continental Money Bank, and the Wind and Cloud Money Bank, all three of which were the most reputable money banks in the jianghu, and by storing his money here, he could rest on his laurels.

The remaining three hundred thousand taels of silver, he converted into silver bills and carried them with him.

After returning to the Demon Sect’s main altar, the first thing he did was to pay his respects to his father, the Blood Demon Elder Ancestor.

The Blood Demon Elder Ancestor was still sitting in the Blood Demon Hall, dealing with the affairs of the Church.

Jian Wuji walked through the long blood-colored corridor and arrived in front of the Blood Demon Hall.

“Child pays his respects to father.” Jian Wuji bowed and saluted.

“I heard that you went out?” Old Blood Demon Ancestor asked without lifting his head.

“Child went to earn some silver.” Jian Wuji replied truthfully.

“Oh? What are you earning silver taels for?” The Blood Demon Old Ancestor finally raised his head and asked with interest.

“Child thought, we can’t keep spending father’s money, right? Moreover, there are still some things that child needs to use the silver.” Jian Wuji said.

“What is it?” The Blood Demon Ancestor asked after him.

“Child wants to, form a force of his own.” Jian Wuji spoke out his thoughts.

“Nonsense!” The Blood Demon Elder Ancestor’s face sank as he scolded sternly, “Do you think that forming a force is child’s play? Your elder brother wants to form a force, which of those demonic father’s children and disciples don’t want to form a force? If everyone was like you, wouldn’t it be chaos?”

Jian Wuji had expected that his father would not easily agree, but he did not intend to give up.

“Father, the Demon Elders all have their own forces, as your son, shouldn’t child have his own forces?” Sword Wuji argued with reason, “Only by having his own forces can child better share your worries and be invincible in future battles!”

The Blood Demon Elder Ancestor fell silent, knowing that his son had a point.

“Let’s talk about this matter later, you can go down first.” In the end, the Blood Demon Old Ancestor still didn’t agree.

“Yes, father.” Jian Wuji knew that this matter could not be rushed and could only be planned out slowly.

“By the way, how many silver taels did you earn?” Old Blood Demon Ancestor suddenly asked.

“Back to father, my son earned three million eight hundred thousand taels.” Jian Wuji replied.

“What? That much?” The Blood Demon Ancestor was also startled by this number.

“This is only a portion, child has already deposited most of the silver taels into the money bank.” Jian Wuji said, pulling out a heavy money bag from his pocket and handing it over, “This is for father.”

The Blood Demon Old Ancestor took the money bag and opened it, it contained a thick stack of silver tickets, each with a face value of ten thousand taels.

“What are you doing?” The Blood Demon Ancestor asked in disbelief.

“This is child’s filial honor to you.” Jian Wuji said with a smile, “Child has grown up, it’s time to give you some pocket money.”

“Pocket money?” The Blood Demon Old Ancestor froze, he had lived for hundreds of years and it was the first time he had heard someone call this pocket money.

“What? Too little?” Jian Wuji asked when he saw that his father didn’t say anything, thinking that he wasn’t satisfied.

“No, no.” The Blood Demon Old Ancestor came back to his senses and shook his head, “It’s just that, when has my father ever lacked your money?”

“Child knows, but this is different.” Jian Wuji said seriously, “This is the first time that child has given you pocket money, it means a lot.”

The Blood Demon Old Ancestor looked at the silver ticket in his hand, his heart was mixed.

“You brat, you’re just a smooth talker.” Although the Blood Demon Old Ancestor said this on his lips, a pleased smile appeared on his face.

“Alright, you go down.” The Blood Demon Old Ancestor waved his hand, signaling Jian Wuji to step back.

“Yes, father.” Jian Wuji respectfully bowed and turned around to leave the Blood Demon Hall.

After walking out of the Blood Demon Hall, Jian Wuji couldn’t help but smile.

He knew that his father must be happy now.

After all, this was the first time he had ever received pocket money from his son!
