Chapter 2930 - 2931: Tempting with Profit

Chapter 2930: Chapter 2931: Tempting with Profit

In an instant, everyone’s gaze focused on Xue An.

Xue An smiled faintly, "You’re too kind. I just happened to pass by and lend a hand, hardly any kindness worth mentioning!"

The more he said this, the more mysterious his image became in everyone’s hearts.

Wu Qiao Jun’s face darkened.

So it was this young man who had ruined her major plans!

But she dared not show any abnormality, so she could only lower her head and pretend not to hear.

At this moment, Wu Shaobei laughed heartily, "Xue, my young friend, you are too modest. Even if you just happened to pass by, the kindness to my Wu Family is real and substantial, so from today onwards you will be the most honored guest of my Wu Family!"

Xue An remained noncommittal, merely smiling faintly, showing no particular expression.

Yet it was this calmness that raised Wu Shaobei’s estimation of him even more.

"Nian Yin!"

"Here!"

"You’ve had a hard journey, take this young friend Xue to have a good rest! After all, your father’s funeral cannot finish in a day or two, there’s no rush for now!"

The last sentence was indeed a double entendre.

Wu Nianyin’s mind raced, then he bowed his head and said, "Understood!"

Having said that, he led Xue An and his companions away to rest.

After they left, Wu Shaobei glanced around the spirit hall, his gaze briefly sweeping over the extremely unsightly Wu Qiao Jun, then he chuckled and also turned to leave.

Once outside the spirit hall, his attendant immediately followed him.

"How was it?" Wu Shaobei asked with a faint smile.

"Very strong!"

"Oh? How strong?"

The attendant hesitated slightly before saying, "If judging solely by cultivation level, he should be at the realm of a third-grade general! But if it were only that, it wouldn’t be too remarkable. What makes him unfathomable is his aura!"

"And no matter what methods I employ, I can’t detect his Divine Sense, which can only mean one thing, his Divine Sense strength is far more powerful than mine!"

By the time he finished, there was a flash of fear in the attendant’s eyes.

Wu Shaobei’s heart also skipped a beat.

As someone he relied on absolutely, Wu Shaobei was very aware of this subordinate’s abilities, knowing that although he hadn’t achieved much in terms of strength, his Divine Sense was extremely strong and could keenly detect others’ cultivation levels and even cultivation technique flaws.

Over the years, this attendant had made great contributions to Wu Shaobei with this gift.

Yet today he claimed he couldn’t see through the white-clad young man, which was truly thought-provoking.

"It seems my nephew’s luck is really something, to recruit such an incredible expert!" Wu Shaobei sighed.

The same sentiment occurred in the back residence, though there was frustration and jealousy in the tone.

"Why! Why is Wu Nianyin so lucky, almost dying yet encountering a passing expert to save him!" Wu Qiao Jun said through gritted teeth, her previously delicate face distorted.

Her son, Wu Niantang, although young, knew his mother was untouchable right now, and so hid in a corner, not daring to make a sound.

The maidservants serving in the room were scared stiff, not daring to breathe.

Only an old woman who had been with Wu Qiao Jun for years laughed and said, "Madam, don’t be angry, this matter isn’t as bad as you think!"

"Not that bad? Our plans have failed, just received Firearms Society’s reply, they prefer to pay compensation to cancel the task, yet you say it’s not bad?" Wu Qiao Jun was somewhat hysterical and shouted loudly.

The old woman remained unhurried, laughing softly, "Madam, don’t be angry, our previous plan indeed failed, but I saw today at the spirit hall that the expert’s attitude towards Wu Nianyin was always indifferent!"

"It proves their relationship isn’t as close as the outside thinks, it might even be a simple interest exchange, and if it is an interest exchange, can’t we provide what Wu Nianyin couldn’t?"

"You mean...?" Wu Qiao Jun gradually calmed down.

"Now, just when they’ve returned and are not yet settled, Madam should act decisively. If you can buy off the expert with great profit, wouldn’t the Family Head position be within reach?"

The old woman spoke, her face’s fat quivering as she did, fully illustrating the image of a crafty advisor.

Wu Qiao Jun’s eyes brightened.

"That’s a way, but the problem is such a high-level expert I’ve never interacted with, can they be bought easily?"

The old woman laughed heartily, "Madam is inexperienced, in this world, it’s all but four words, interest exchange. No matter how prominent the person or high the expert, none can have no weaknesses!"

"As long as we target his weaknesses and preferences, we’re sure to achieve marvelous results!"

The more Wu Qiao Jun listened, the more thrilled she became. She was inherently extremely smart and bold.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t dare covet the Family Head position.

Thus, after hearing the old woman’s persuasion, her mind became active instantly.

"You are right, no one can escape the word ’interest’, now what could be this person’s weakness?" Wu Qiao Jun began to ponder deeply.

The old woman quietly reminded, "Madam, have you noticed the people around the expert?"

"You mean... that woman?"

"Indeed!" The old woman beamed with flattery, her face like a blooming chrysanthemum.

"So what if I saw her?"

"Oh, my foolish Madam, how have you not understood? That woman is extraordinarily beautiful, a rare beauty, yet follows this young man around, what does this indicate?"

"Indicate what?"

"Indicate that the young man must be one who relishes feminine charm, a common youthful behavior, isn’t it?" The old woman coaxed.

Wu Qiao Jun immediately understood, excitedly said, "I see, you are right, no man can resist female beauty, especially such a talented young expert! So next, we should cater to his preferences, using beauty to tempt!"

"Madam has valuable insights!" The old woman said with a smile.

Wu Qiao Jun paced around the room excitedly, suddenly thought of something, and frowned.

"But the problem is we don’t have suitable beauties on hand!"

Wu Qiao Jun indeed had some pretty maidservants, but compared to Shu Jingchu, they paled significantly.

"Who said we don’t?" The old woman mysteriously remarked.

"Oh? Where?" Wu Qiao Jun was still somewhat puzzled.

"Hehe, Madam, you yourself possess unmatched beauty, doesn’t that count?"

Wu Qiao Jun was stunned, then suddenly became furious, "You insolent servant, how dare you...!"
