It's clearly a crossover game, but the system insists it's a pirate game.

Zhou Ye got up, stood by the bed, and patted Huang Rong's bottom a few times. Ignoring the blushing little girl, he went to eat, feeling refreshed... Oh well, he'd better have some snacks to tide him over. Looking at the sky, it's almost lunchtime...

"Come, come, sit down here, let's see what we brought back for you."

When it was time for lunch and everyone had arrived, Zhou Ye took out the handwritten copy from his pocket and laid it out in a row.

"Xiao Di has the Divine Illumination Scripture, which is practically an immortal skill. But your martial arts are too weak. You should learn the Heavenly Mountain Plum Blossom Hand. Once you've mastered it, teach it to Xiao Fang."

"This Lesser Formless Skill... Xiao Fang should learn it. I don't expect you to become a great master. If we're all gone and you encounter danger, just make sure you can protect yourself."

"This is the Life and Death Talisman, which comes with the Tianshan Six Yang Palm. Rong'er, take this and learn it."

"By the way, after you've learned it, give all the books to Rong'er. If we have any new members, we'll give them to her."

Di Yun was moved, truly moved. He decided to take out the Divine Illumination Scripture as well, just in case someone was more suitable for cultivation than himself in the future.

Zhou Ye didn't care about this. He was telling Wu Xingyun the truth: there were really not many martial arts techniques in this world that he could find acceptable.

The martial arts of the Free and Unfettered Sect are not the most suitable, but rather the most suitable for building a foundation. This is because these martial arts encompass the most and are the most diverse. Once you have mastered the martial arts of the Free and Unfettered Sect, you will be able to learn better ones more quickly in the future.

When Lianxing was halfway through her meal, she suddenly spoke up, "Sister is planning to close down the Yihua Palace. What do you think?"

"There's no need to shut it down. If you sisters don't want to be palace masters anymore, you can step down and let someone else take over. That way, we'll have another place to stay, won't we?"

Zhou Ye remained silent; it was Huang Rong who spoke: "Our family has no income. Should we buy some shops and land?"

The first part was addressed to Lianxing, and the second part was addressed to Zhou Ye. After she finished speaking, Zhou Ye immediately raised his head: "We're out of money? No problem, I'll think of something!"

Although he was still eating, Zhou Ye's mind was racing as he considered which treasure to dig up.

There are many legends of treasures in the martial arts world. Some are true, and some are just legends. But most of these real treasures were left by emperors or noble families of a certain dynasty. They do contain wealth, but most of them are military supplies.

Opening this treasure would yield little profit but cause a lot of trouble, making it a losing proposition.

If I'm going to open one, I'll open one that's purely filled with gold and silver jewelry... so I have to choose carefully.

Seeing that he was deep in thought, the people at the table quietly sped up their eating and then quietly left after finishing.

Qi Fang didn't rush to practice any special skills, but instead took Huang Rong's hand: "Miss Rong, if your family runs out of money, I have..."

Huang Rong smiled and patted her face: "Silly girl, come on, I'll take you to see."

After saying that, he pulled her to the family's treasure vault. Looking at the various treasures inside, Qi Fang was dumbfounded: "This...this..."

"When I said I had no money, was it because I wanted to make my son too relaxed? You don't know, sometimes he's a bit... lazy, like a counting bead. If you don't move it, he won't budge. That won't do. So, I'm finding him something to do."

"I see, Miss Huang, you really care about Young Master Zhou."

Hearing Qi Fang's teasing, Huang Rong's face flushed, but she waved her hand and said, "There's nothing I can do. There's no one in my family who's easy to deal with. Sister Fang, I'll call you Sister Fang from now on. You have to help me."

Qi Fang felt a warm glow in her heart: "Okay!"

The woman is in charge of the household, and the man is in charge of external affairs. Since Di Yun is with Zhou Ye, she is naturally considered a member of this family.

Meanwhile, after regaining his senses, Zhou Ye went out for a stroll with his hands behind his back. He mainly went to a teahouse, where he saw a storyteller. Without saying a word, he threw a silver ingot onto the storyteller's desk: "Stop with the sour talk, tell me something refreshing, like... about treasure."

Since the wealthy man had paid, the storyteller naturally dared not neglect him. He first bowed respectfully and then began to tell the story about the treasure. Some of what he said was true, and some was false, but the vast majority was just hearsay and fabrication, so everyone just listened for fun.

But today is different, because among the listeners, there is someone whose identity is quite unique.

As the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect, Wanwan has a high degree of freedom. As long as her mortal enemies don't leave the mountain, she basically doesn't have any major matters that she absolutely has to attend to.

This trip was just a stopover in Jiangling. I casually found a teahouse to rest for a bit before heading south. Once I reached the estuary, I would find a boat to go to the Dongming Sect to discuss the procurement of weapons for the Demonic Sect.

But unexpectedly, in this small Jiangling, we actually encountered an interesting fellow!

Although she is a saintess, Wanwan, who comes from the Demonic Sect, naturally has a different aesthetic. Unlike those young ladies from noble families who like fair-skinned, weak scholars, she prefers tall, strong men like Zhou Ye. Men who are not tall or strong, but rather effeminate, are unpleasant to think about.

If you were to be with a man like that, who would take care of whom?

So her gaze began to fall on Zhou Ye from time to time, but upon closer inspection, she discovered something even more interesting.

As the storyteller recounted his tale, the big man's eyes changed. When he heard about some obviously fabricated treasures, his eyes remained expressionless. But when he talked about some real treasures, his eyes lit up!

But the most amazing thing was that when the storyteller mentioned Yang Gong's treasure trove, Wanwan clearly saw the look of disappointment in the big man's eyes.

Is he disappointed?

The Yang Gong Treasure Vault is the most recent of all the treasure vaults, and it is indeed a real entity. Why would he be disappointed? Or perhaps, does he know about the Yang Gong Treasure Vault?

Wanwan's heart jumped. She quietly left the teahouse, wrote a small note, and handed over the task of going to the Dongming Sect to someone else. She herself stayed in the teahouse, watching Zhou Ye leave and return to the Zhou residence before returning to the inn.

As darkness fell, Wanwan sat up from her bed in the inn, opened the window, glanced at the sky, and then shot out of the window like an arrow, arriving at the wall of the Zhou residence in a few leaps.

There was no one around. The courtyard wall, which was more than three meters high, could keep out ordinary people, but it couldn't stop a master like Wanwan. She simply leaped over the wall and landed silently in the courtyard.

Just as she was about to ask a servant for directions, she heard someone speak up: "Miss, who are you looking for so late?"

Wanwan was startled. When she turned around, she saw a kind-looking man staring at her warily.

"I'm here to see Master Zhou. Do you know where he is?"

Upon hearing that they were looking for their benefactor, Di Yun's expression relaxed considerably: "I know, he should be in the backyard right now, but..."

"Young master, Master Zhou asked me to come and see him tonight, but... I don't know where he is. Could you take me there?"

What man isn't a womanizer?

Di Yun sized up Wanwan's appearance and nodded in agreement: "Okay, come with me."
