Speaking of Song Xinran, she was quite the martial arts fanatic.
She was originally the legitimate daughter of the Song family. However, due to the previous generation's foolish actions, she became Su Han's servant. At the same time, Su Han took her as his sole disciple.
Her status was quite high, currently on par with Nangong Yan!
It's just that Song Xinran was previously mainly responsible for Blue Star affairs, managing a commercial empire worth trillions, and was Su Han's capable subordinate.
However, now that it was known she possessed a trace of divine talent, Su Han decisively brought her to the Spirit Realm, hoping to foster her further development through the spiritual energy of the realm.
Indeed!
Upon this reunion, Song Xinran had made immense progress. In a short period, her strength had increased five to sixfold, reaching the Emperor level, on par with the two sisters of the Xue clan.
"Master..."
Su Han, seeing Song Xinran before him dressed in purple, felt immense fondness. He nodded slowly, "Just call me Master. By the way, Xinran, I called you out this time to help me review the accounts of the Spirit Realm City, see where adjustments are needed, and preferably increase the Baili family's share by two to three tenths. Take a look, that's all..."
As he spoke, Su Han handed an account book to Song Xinran.
Baili Hanbing, standing beside them, did not obstruct at all. Instead, he appraised Song Xinran with great admiration!
"Not bad, Mr. Su! No wonder you were unmoved by my sister. All the people around you are beauties. Alas, I even thought before..."
Su Han scoffed, knowing this fellow must have had ulterior motives before, wanting him to meet his sister. Then, if he were captivated by Baili Qin Yin's beauty, he could become an internal official of the Baili family.
However, Baili Hanbing had now abandoned this idea!
The women around Su Han were truly of exceptional beauty, some plump yet not greasy, others with explosive figures, and some pure and lovely. In short, they were all stunning, each with her own charm!
The only similarity was that these were all carefully selected, rare super beauties.
Just as they were talking.
Song Xinran, standing beside them, immediately spoke, "Master... ah, no, Master, I've briefly reviewed these accounts. They should allow for at least a 40% increase in the profit share. Look here, regarding these cost items, a large portion can be inflated. And these personnel expenses can also be increased. As for the final profit, we can say that business has been sluggish in recent years and find some excuses to delay for three to five years, which shouldn't be a problem!"
Upon hearing this.
Baili Hanbing, standing beside them, was instantly stunned. Although he didn't understand the technical jargon, he understood the matter of increasing the profit share by 40%.
And it seemed that delaying for three to five years wouldn't be a problem!
This point instantly made Baili Hanbing's heart flutter. Finding excuses was too easy. The Spirit Realm City was already rife with bandits, especially many powerful figures who came, stayed for free, and even took some spirit coins when they left.
The Baili family usually preferred not to make too many enemies, so they turned a blind eye. Now, they could completely attribute these profits to them.
The only thing that needed to be done was to replace the accountant!
"Good, this is excellent!"
Baili Hanbing was instantly excited, almost kneeling to thank Song Xinran. Amidst his gratitude, he also asked, "Miss Song, are you married? If you don't mind, my Baili family, though currently in turbulent times, does have some foundation. And as the young patriarch, if it were a formal marriage, would you be willing?"
Upon hearing this, Su Han was shocked.
He never expected that after finding an accountant, Baili Hanbing would actually take a liking to Song Xinran. It was understandable, as this girl was perfect in every way, especially with her brilliant mind, extremely high intelligence, and being a super steward and a cultivation genius!
Where could one find such a person!
However, before Su Han could speak, Song Xinran directly refused, "I'm sorry, Young Patriarch Baili, I actually... already have someone in my heart. I'm truly sorry. Although Xinran comes from a humble background, I have my own aspirations!"
Hearing this, Baili Hanbing instantly wilted like a frost-bitten eggplant.
Sighing, lamenting his misfortune, he fell into a state of depression.
Suddenly!
Just as Baili Hanbing was feeling dejected and about to ask Song Xinran who she liked, a woman's pleasant voice drifted from a nearby path.
"Hanbing, don't cause trouble here. If you marry Sister Xinran, what about your wife? And you talk about a formal marriage, you're just lying. Can't even five concubines keep you tied down?"
Upon hearing this, Baili Hanbing instantly stood up in shock, not out of fear of being exposed, but because he felt the woman's voice should not be present here.
"Sister!"
Looking into the distance, he saw a woman in white, adorned with flowing ribbons, walking gracefully as if she were a celestial being.
It was as if she were treading on clouds, light and ethereal!
Yet, no one doubted that her step could easily crush an Emperor-level expert.
Looking at Su Han, Baili Qin Yin's eyes were gentle, and she lowered her head shyly, "Mr. Su, I am willing to become your ally, as my younger brother said, an alliance between our two families to deal with the Sacred Altar is the right path!"
Upon hearing this.
Su Han was instantly shocked, as the woman before him truly exuded an immortal aura. Moreover, it was evident that her strength was terrifying, likely having already reached the late Emperor realm, perhaps even being a peak existence within the late Emperor realm.
"Uh, if I say no, will I be unable to leave this place?"
Su Han sighed, admitting that although his current strength was formidable, he was still no match for Baili Qin Yin. Coupled with the Baili family's influence, it was almost impossible for him to gain any advantage.
"Heh heh, then may I ask Mr. Su, do you agree or disagree?" Baili Qin Yin asked, her gaze flowing with captivating beauty.
Su Han hesitated for a moment. After all, he now had a large group of people to take care of. If he were to bring back a young lady from the Baili family, his existing companions might cut ties with him.
However, after weighing the current situation, he truly felt he had no choice!
"I'm sorry, I can only take you as a concubine..." Su Han said.
"What!"
Baili Qin Yin was utterly shocked, and Baili Hanbing's brow furrowed even deeper. For his Baili family, such a top-tier existence, to be willing to form an alliance with Su Han, and even agree to cede benefits, was already a tremendous sacrifice. Yet, even so, Su Han actually said he was only willing to take a concubine and not marry!
This left them both speechless with shock!
