CHAPTER 1029: CHAPTER 1027: SHARING FORTUNE TOGETHER

It wasn’t Wufu’s intention to deliberately slight the Cloud Fort, but their way of killing multiple birds with one stone left a bitter taste. Wufu didn’t want to engage with them any further.

Besides, capturing Yun Feiyang was already a significant connection. No matter what happens in the future, your Cloud Fort should remember this favor, right?

Since they had already made their presence known, there was no need to stay longer and risk further complications. After all, they had taken what they needed.

Receiving an additional silver note of one hundred thousand taels, making it a total of six hundred thousand taels from the Cloud Fortress Master, Wufu bid him farewell with a smile and casually mentioned Yun Feiyang’s practice of evil techniques. Unsurprisingly, this darkened his face, bringing Wufu much amusement.

Bringing the long-awaiting Xiao Li, they left the Cloud Fort and returned to the inn in Shengyun Town. Everyone enjoyed a refreshing hot bath before sitting down to talk.

"Miss, sir, after waiting for so many days, I almost sent someone to rescue you." Xiao Li laughed as he served them hot tea.

Wufu said, "Don’t you trust our abilities?"

"Of course, I do, but seeing so many people give up worried me," Xiao Li said, scratching his head in embarrassment.

"Alright, was there anything happening these days?" Ah Jiu asked.

Xiao Li straightened his expression and spoke about the Cloud Fort’s activities during their absence, mentioning several groups went in, even Miss Yun entered but were carried out after only a few days.

As for their own matters, there was nothing much, except Commander Yi was worried and came to check twice, saying if no one returned soon, he would storm in with people.

Ah Jiu nodded, relieved there was nothing serious.

"Hoo Die brought a weapon for you. Go and have a look," Ah Jiu said.

Xiao Li was delighted, bowed, and tactfully pulled Xiao Qi, who was clinging to Wufu, out of the room.

"I plan to distribute the additional one hundred thousand taels among Big Brother Tie and Master Gui. What do you think?" Wufu said.

"It’s up to you," Ah Jiu didn’t care about the money.

Wufu rolled her eyes, "I know you’re not short on money, but no need to act so indifferent."

"Did you expect me to sleep hugging it? Just a mere one hundred thousand taels," Ah Jiu chuckled.

Wufu snorted.

"Do whatever makes you comfortable, don’t worry about it. It’s just a small amount," Ah Jiu reassured her, squeezing her hand.

Wufu glanced at him slyly, "Ninth Master really knows how to sweet-talk."

"Well said!"

With Ah Jiu’s approval, the next day, when Tie Hanyang and others came to bid farewell, Wufu distributed the money among them. Although Tie Hanyang and his group initially refused, not knowing it was Yun Feiyang that Wufu captured, Wufu insisted, saying they should share blessings and hardships. She took the larger share, giving smaller portions to them and Master Gui.

Seeing this, Tie Hanyang had no choice but to accept. After venturing into the Cloud Realm together, they had forged a strong bond. Wufu left an address, asking them to visit her once they had finished their matters, to which they agreed.

As for Master Gui and his group, they didn’t decline Wufu’s generosity and cheerfully accepted, simply saying to seek them at the Riches Gambling House if needed.

After sending off Tie Hanyang and Master Gui’s group, Wufu and her companions packed up, preparing to return to Changan City. Just as they left Shengyun Town, they saw Yuan Ye and Commander Yi leading a group towards them on horseback.

"Well, they received the news quickly," Wufu remarked, raising an eyebrow.

Ah Jiu remained silent, his expression a bit strange, as he hadn’t instructed Xiao Li to send any messages.

"Sir, you’ve finally come out!" Yuan Ye exclaimed with joy upon seeing them. He jumped off his horse, knelt on one knee to salute, then raised his head and spoke seriously, "Sir, there’s trouble!"
