That night, after their strength had improved, Tao Hua Ying and the others were recalled to their respective places.
However, Tao Hua Ying was somewhat puzzled as to why the Soul Summoning Bell, after she returned to it within the bone chain, continued to sway for a full two hours before stopping.
...
The next day at noon, when Yan Shou Yi woke up, he found his body feeling heavy.
Lin Zi Tong was sleeping in his arms, one of her jade legs still resting on him.
He carefully moved Lin Zi Tong’s thigh away and was about to get up when he discovered his lower half was a bit numb.
For a moment, he couldn't figure out if it was because Lin Zi Tong had been lying on him all night or if he had been too vigorous last night.
"My child, Dad is sorry, I didn't let you rest well last night!"
Such guilty thoughts flashed through Yan Shou Yi's mind, and then he took a deep breath and got up!
Lin Zi Tong was woken by his movement and looked at him with sleepy eyes.
Yan Shou Yi quickly leaned down to comfort her, "You must be tired from last night, you should rest well."
"Mmm..."
Lin Zi Tong's pretty face turned red, and she quickly buried her head in the pillow, falling asleep again a moment later.
Yan Shou Yi breathed a sigh of relief, quickly went to wash up and change, and tidied up the bedside.
He walked out of the room, took out his phone, and as he walked towards the hotel restaurant, he called Old Jin.
A night had passed, and he wanted to know about Li Chong Xi's condition.
Old Jin answered the phone with a slightly tired tone and a hoarse voice, looking like he had just woken up.
From Old Jin, Yan Shou Yi learned that Li Chong Xi was still in a coma and it was unknown when he would wake up.
As for the other heirs of folk sects, they were mostly out of danger, but some had severe injuries, and some might even be permanently disabled.
Hearing this news, Yan Shou Yi sighed softly.
Most heirs of folk sects lived a life of poverty, relying on their skills to earn the most ordinary living.
If they were disabled or encountered any major misfortune, they might have a lifetime of skills but couldn't even earn a meal, starving to death.
So he thought for a moment and said, "Old Jin, didn't you make a lot of money gambling on stones at Xiao Dong Men last time?"
When this was mentioned, Old Jin felt even more headaches:
"I lack wealth in my destiny. Having such a large sum of money in my hands makes me uneasy. I'm worried about how to spend it."
As an heir of a folk sect, how to spend money was also a skill.
If they had too much money, heaven would deliberately cause them to lose wealth. There were many ways for this to happen, but in the end, they would lose all their money, leaving nothing behind, and even misfortune and bloodshed would follow.
This was also why Yan Shou Yi, despite "marrying into a wealthy family," remained penniless and spent all of Lin Zi Tong's money.
Old Jin's money seemed inexhaustible at first glance, but Old Jin also knew clearly that it would not be long before this money left him.
Buy a house? Useless. Heirs of folk sects could not use this kind of money to acquire any property for themselves.
Perhaps after buying a house, it would collapse the next day.
Similarly, buying gold and silver jewelry was the same. It was possible to be robbed immediately after leaving the jewelry store, or to buy fake goods.
So Old Jin was troubled about how to spend this money, without leaving himself any assets, while still gaining some pleasure.
Before making this call, Old Jin's original plan was to find a few female anchors and give them gifts.
One million each, tipping a dozen at once.
In the end, although he didn't keep a single cent, he would become the top supporter in several anchors' streams!
From then on, wherever he went, cute girls would call him "Brother Jin," and maybe there would even be offline fan meetings!
Thinking of this, Old Jin's fatigue disappeared, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
However, Yan Shou Yi proposed another idea:
"Old Jin, since you can't spend the money anyway, why don't we establish a foundation and use this money to provide subsidies for those unfortunate heirs of folk sects to cover their basic expenses."
Old Jin was stunned for a moment, then he began to consider it seriously.
He had treated many heirs of folk sects last night and knew best how severe their injuries were.
One of them was a paper effigy maker, but both of his hands were ruined, making it impossible for him to continue his former trade.
One could imagine how tragic this person's future would be.
If the foundation were established, it would be different. Tens of millions in assets might not allow everyone to live a wealthy life, but it would surely ensure they had enough to eat and wear.
Moreover, this would invisibly accumulate good karma for Old Jin himself.
It was a win-win solution!
The only drawback was that after establishing the foundation, Old Jin would no longer be able to be the top supporter in the female anchors' live streams.
And those exciting events would naturally slip away from Old Jin...
Old Jin sighed and said with determination, "I have no problem with it!"
Yan Shou Yi was puzzled. Why the sigh and the tone of renunciation if he had no problem?
Of course, after this foundation was established, Yan Shou Yi would not let Old Jin bear the cost alone.
He had a lot of inventory in his satchel, and he could sell some treasures to Qin Liu Ye later. The money obtained would be immediately transferred to the foundation's account.
After hanging up Old Jin's call, Yan Shou Yi had already reached the hotel restaurant.
It was lunchtime, and the restaurant had set up a buffet with all sorts of delicacies. However, since it was not the peak tourist season, there were very few guests in the restaurant.
Yan Shou Yi scanned the restaurant and saw a few familiar and somewhat shifty figures.
Were they not Long Fei Cheng, Weng Qian Xiang, A Gong, Wang Ji Wang, and He Xi Ping, the five of them?
Yan Shou Yi walked over with a smile to greet them. Seeing that everyone was smiling, only Long Fei Cheng looked dejected, so he couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Long, what's wrong?"
Long Fei Cheng looked at Yan Shou Yi and said aggrievedly, "Brother Yan, you must uphold justice for me!"
His appearance was like that of a little lady who had been teased, asking Yan Shou Yi, the magistrate, to make a decision.
Yan Shou Yi frowned, "What's wrong, did someone bully you?"
"Yes!" Long Fei Cheng gritted his teeth, "It's that bad woman, Luo Ning!"
"Luo Ning? What did she do to you?" Yan Shou Yi was startled.
Long Fei Cheng said gloomily, "She sent me a text message in the middle of the night yesterday, asking me to come to her room for a visit, and said no one else was in her room."
"Hmm?" Yan Shou Yi looked at Long Fei Cheng with surprise.
Did Luo Ning take a liking to Long Fei Cheng?
And did she so brazenly invite him into her room?
Wasn't this a good thing? Why did Long Fei Cheng look so wronged?
Looking at the expressions of the others, they were undoubtedly gloating.
It seemed that things were not that simple.
Long Fei Cheng continued, "Although I am a gentleman and would never do something that cannot be explained, like entering a girl's room in the middle of the night, I was worried that Luo Ning, a girl, might be scared at night, so I planned to go comfort her."
"As a result, when I entered her room, I found that Luo Ning hadn't lied to me. There was indeed no one else in her room!"
Yan Shou Yi suddenly realized, "She tricked you? But why?"
Luo Ning wasn't that kind of person.
Long Fei Cheng said with grief and indignation, "As soon as I opened the door, I found that Luo Ning was nowhere to be seen, but there were three zombies she had refined lying on the bed. I was so scared that I peed myself!"
"After asking, I found out that Luo Ning had gone shopping and was worried that the zombies in the room would run around, so she asked me to help watch them!!"
"Pfft!"
The milk Yan Shou Yi had just drunk instantly sprayed onto Long Fei Cheng's face.
