Chapter 1017 472: Master and Disciple Share the Spoils

Chen Ye expressed sympathy for Gu Tangyin's situation.

Of course.

Just a little bit of sympathy, that's all.

"Speaking of which, we haven't opened the boxes yet..."

Chen Ye suddenly remembered something.

After the battle on the back mountain, those Storage Bags from the Huayue Mansion and the Ten Thousand Puppet Sect cultivators were all collected by his first disciple, Zhiwei.

At that time, he was busy dealing with prisoners and extracting intelligence, so he hadn't had the chance to look through them carefully.

One must know, those were Storage Bags from no less than seven late-period Foundation Establishment cultivators!

Among them were elites from major sects like Huayue Mansion, as well as senior demon puppet masters from the Ten Thousand Puppet Sect.

The wealth carried by these people was undoubtedly an astonishing fortune.

What is all the fighting about?

Besides eliminating demons and protecting disciples, the most thrilling part is undoubtedly the opening ceremony of these treasures!

Chen Ye suddenly found sitting idly in the Quiet Chamber to be very dull.

He stood up, dusted off his robe, and happily walked towards the room where Zhiwei was staying.

"Knock knock."

Chen Ye knocked on the door and pushed it open.

Inside, a girl with long black hair was calmly sitting in front of a desk.

Four small gourds were lined up on the table.

The girl was intently and carefully polishing the small gourds, clearly showing her fondness for the Gourd Sword.

Upon hearing the commotion, Zhiwei looked up, slightly surprised, and stood up to salute respectfully: "Master, why have you come? Is there something you need for your seclusion?"

As she spoke, Zhiwei's gaze fleetingly swept across her master's face.

Even though a day had passed, the scene outside the room from yesterday kept replaying in her mind.

What did the Master, True Inheritor Bai, and Aunt Mao do to Gu Tangyin in that small room?

Maybe it was harsh interrogation?

But why would others need to help Master to interrogate Gu Tangyin?

Evidently... Evidently, she could have helped relieve Master's burdens, so why did Master only keep True Inheritor Bai and Aunt Mao?

"Zhiwei? What are you thinking about, so absorbed?"

Chen Ye, of course, was unaware of the tumultuous thoughts behind his first disciple's calm exterior.

Seeing Zhiwei slightly dazed, he waved a hand in front of her eyes with a smile.

"Ah... nothing, nothing at all."

Zhiwei snapped back to reality, a rare blush faintly appearing on her pale cheeks,

"Did Master come to see the disciple for any instructions?"

"No rush about the seclusion. I suddenly remembered, those Storage Bags taken from the bandits in the back mountain are still with you, right?"

Chen Ye asked.

Realizing it was about serious matters, Zhiwei immediately composed herself:

"Yes, Master, they are all here."

With a graceful wave of her hand, she neatly arranged seven bulging Storage Bags of various materials on the table.

"Master, that day I placed the Magical Treasures carried by those bandits into separate Storage Bags. As for their personal Storage Bags, I was concerned about lingering Restrictions, so I didn't open them on my own initiative."

Zhiwei said clearly.

However, even if she could open them, Zhiwei wouldn't want to do it alone but rather share the joy of opening the treasure boxes with her Master and martial sisters.

Just like before,

after slaying powerful enemies together with Master, they would open Storage Bags and share the rare leisure and joy.

"As expected of my first disciple, you handle things with meticulous care."

Chen Ye praised Zhiwei with a glance, then rubbed his hands while looking at the row of dimly glowing Storage Bags on the table,

"But this kind of exciting blind box opening, how can it be just the two of us sneaking around? Come, bring these to the stone table in the courtyard and call your two martial sisters. The four of us, master and disciples, will divide the spoils well today!"

Zhiwei was amused by her Master's mention of "dividing the spoils," lifting the corners of her lips slightly.

The little knot of bitterness in her heart, born from not being called to relieve her Master's burden, also vanished into thin air.

Only she and her martial sisters were Master's true family...

...

"Qing Jun, Jin'er, quickly come to the courtyard to share the treasure!"

Chen Ye's clear voice echoed leisurely within the courtyard.

Of course,

he didn't disturb Bai Susu and Mao Qingzhu who were still resting, only notified his disciples.

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of hurried little footsteps came from afar.

"Sharing treasure! Opening boxes! Qing Jun is here!"

The little girl holding half-eaten Lingxi Cake dived to the stone table, her big bright eyes shining with more light than when seeing delicious food as she stared at the Storage Bags Zhiwei retrieved.

Jin'er also followed quickly, standing obediently by the stone table, sweetly calling out: "Master, senior sister."

At the stone table, the four of them—master and disciples—sat in a circle.

Chen Ye waved his large hand, the seven bulging Storage Bags lined up, giving off the air of a mountain king splitting the spoils on the spot.

"Let's first see how wealthy these elite righteous members of Huayue Mansion really are."

With a slight flicker of Spiritual Light at Chen Ye's fingertips, he easily shattered the lingering Divine Sense Restrictions on several of the Storage Bags.

Then, he turned the bag's mouth downwards and shook it vigorously.

Rustle—!

In an instant, treasures sparkled, and Spiritual Qi filled the air.

Piles of middle-grade Spirit Stones and a few translucent upper-grade Spirit Stones cascaded onto the broad stone table like a small glowing hill, nearly spilling to the ground.

Roughly estimated, the value of these Spirit Stones was as much as two hundred thousand!

One must know,

ordinary cultivators usually convert Spirit Stones into cultivation resources regularly and rarely carry large quantities of Spirit Stones on them.

And then there were the people from Huayue Mansion,

who, because they were on a long-term mission from Ruins Country to Yan Kingdom, brought plenty of Spirit Stones with them, which now all benefited Chen Ye!
