Chapter 92.1 : Lend a Hand. (Part 1)
Once the message had been transmitted.
Dantai Lan did not wait long before the communication jade once again began to glow.
He dared not be negligent and immediately received the message at the first moment.
"This matter truly cannot be handled by you alone. Take my communication jade and return to the clan. Explain the situation to the clan head and have him mobilize the clan's resources to assist you in carrying out this task.
If the matter is handled well, neither I nor the clan will be stingy with the rewards you deserve.
But if you mess it up, you know the consequences."
After fully receiving the message, Dantai Lan's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
There was both shock and fear, as well as joy and surging greed.
The shock came from the fact that this Ancestor Jinglian—whose status was transcendent even within the entire clan—had actually designated him to take the lead in this affair instead of directly handing it over to the clan.
What he feared was the punishment that might await him if the matter was not handled properly…
There was no need for Dantai Jinglian to even take action—if the clan learned that he had ruined things, his own father, who had just been promoted to a clan elder, would likely be the first to show him no mercy!
As for the joy, it came from the richness of the rewards should the task be successfully completed.
Although Dantai Jinglian was ruthless in her methods and showed no leniency even toward clan members, when it came to giving rewards, she was also exceedingly generous.
It could be said that she made the Dantai clansmen both love and fear her.
Moreover, if the matter was done well, the clan itself would also bestow generous rewards.
Not to mention the final words Chu Ge had left when assigning the task.
Those words clearly hinted that this Disciple Chu—whom even Ancestor Jinglian valued so highly—also had the intention of granting a reward.
It was truly a case of doing one task and gaining benefits from three sides. This immediately stirred up no small amount of greed in Dantai Lan's heart.
This was undoubtedly his chance to take off!
As long as he handled this matter well, his status within the clan would rise straight upward, and he would also truly establish a connection with Chu Ge. From that point on, his future would be nothing but bright!
"This matter must be done well! No one is allowed to block my future!"
Having spent more than ten years as a marginal figure within the clan's core circle—even his own father did not place much importance on him—Dantai Lan had deep resentment in his heart.
In the past, there had been no opportunities, so it was one thing. But now that an opportunity was right in front of him, no matter what, he had to seize it!
Here, Dantai Lan's heart was burning with passion.
On the other side, after Dantai Jinglian sent out the message, she put away the communication jade and fell into contemplation.
'Su Mo… Could my junior nephew have once again learned of a Child of Fortune somewhere?'
She thought to herself, growing increasingly certain of her own guess.
Anyone whom her junior nephew valued this highly was, without a doubt, a member of that group known as the Children of Fortune.
After all, the greatest support he possessed—the thing called the "system"—required Children of Fortune as nourishment in order to continuously upgrade.
And the system's upgrades were directly tied to Chu Ge's growth speed.
At the same time, they were also linked to the benefits that they, the group of diary copy holders, could obtain.
With everything interlocked in a chain, Chu Ge's interests naturally became their interests as well!
"Quite impressive—without anyone noticing, he's already roped everyone into this…"
Dantai Jinglian let out a soft laugh.
In truth, she had faintly sensed this long ago, but not only did she not resist it, she was in fact quite happy about it.
After receiving such great benefits, it was only right to do some work for the true master behind them. Otherwise, even if she held those benefits in her hands, she might not feel at ease at all.
