Chapter 70: Leaving the Estate
It wasn’t that Zheng Fa didn’t want his family to live well, but the shops and properties Madam Zhao offered weren’t something he could safely hold onto right now.
If he failed to enter the Immortal Sect during the Immortal Talent Conference, the immense wealth would inevitably attract conflict. Even without outsiders coveting it, some within the Zhao estate might try to reclaim what Madam Zhao had allocated to him.
Even if he did successfully join the Immortal Sect, judging by the Eldest Young Lady’s experience, he would likely need to leave his mother and younger sister in Jingzhou for the first few years.
Two women, one of them not even ten years old, wouldn’t be able to protect such wealth, even under the Zhao family’s watch.
If his future in the Immortal Sect went well, then prosperity would naturally follow. But if he struggled, this temporary wealth would eventually slip away.
Madam Zhao pointed to the box of deeds and insisted, “I came all this way; you have to take at least one.”
Steward Wu glanced between the box and his own hands, his expression contemplative.
