"They were all given to the Spirit Hall."
Faced with Qian Renxue's pitiful expression, even though he was wearing Xue Qinghe's face, She Long still couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.
Upon receiving this answer, Qian Renxue's eyes widened:
"Huh? Why?! Isn't this our money?!"
As she spoke, Qian Renxue's face still held a look of grief and indignation.
Of course, she didn't forget to give Xiao Chenyu a look that asked for praise during the process, even though she was originally indifferent to this kind of thing.
However, after Xiao Chenyu handed her the information and explained some details, she immediately understood what he meant.
The Crown Prince's Residence is the Crown Prince's Residence, and the Spirit Hall is the Spirit Hall.
Since Xiao Chenyu wanted to separate them, Qian Renxue naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
"Cough cough..."
She Long looked away, feeling somewhat guilty, and said:
"The Spirit Hall is currently short of money, and there's nothing we can do about it."
"The Spirit Hall would be short of money?"
Qian Renxue looked surprised; she really hadn't expected this answer.
In my memory, the Spirit Hall should be the richest power on this continent.
“Maintaining the various branch halls and rebuilding Martial Soul City both require money.”
She Long tried to bluff his way out by citing examples.
As he spoke, he glared at Xiao Chenyu, who was pretending nothing had happened.
"So even the Spirit Hall is short of money..." Qian Renxue sighed.
The Spirit Hall had always been a supreme figure in her eyes, and this was the first time it had fallen from its pedestal.
It was at this moment that she suddenly felt sorry for that woman.
Managing a small prince's residence has recently made her realize how difficult it is.
If it weren't for Xiao Chenyu's help, she wouldn't have been able to handle it at all.
That woman manages the largest power on the continent, the Spirit Hall. She's definitely busier than she and Xiao Chenyu.
At this point, Qian Renxue even began to understand the woman's attitude a little.
When people are busy, their mood can indeed be a little bad...
"That's not the main reason, Uncle She," Xiao Chenyu said with a smile.
Are there any other main reasons?
Qian Renxue put aside her thoughts and a look of curiosity appeared on her face.
She knew that Xiao Chenyu wouldn't speak without reason; he must know something.
Seeing She Long's dismissive attitude, Xiao Chenyu spoke up:
"The biggest monthly expenditure of the Spirit Hall should be the subsidies for low-level Spirit Masters. Each Spirit Master receives 1 gold spirit coin per month, and each high-level Spirit Master receives 10 gold spirit coins per month. These are the two largest groups, and the monthly expenditure is at least one million gold spirit coins."
"That's true."
She Long nodded silently, which was considered as agreeing with Xiao Chenyu's statement.
This matter was not a secret even within the Spirit Hall.
"But isn't this money issued by the two great empires?" Qian Renxue asked, puzzled.
She was aware of this matter as well.
The Spirit Hall provides subsidies to all low-level Soul Masters, but these subsidies have always been paid by the two great empires.
“Previously, the two great empires would handle the payments, but because the Spirit Hall forcefully forced the Clear Sky Sect into seclusion a year ago, the previous pope died, and the current pope has not shown overwhelming strength, the two great empires joined forces to eliminate this expense,” Xiao Chenyu explained.
The monthly expenditure of millions of gold soul coins is not a small amount for the two great empires.
"I see..."
Qian Renxue fell silent. All the people involved in this matter had a deep connection with her.
The deceased pope was her biological father, and the current pope is her biological mother.
She had just begun to understand the woman's pressure, but she still felt a little hurt by the woman's indifference towards her.
If given the chance... she desperately wanted that woman's approval...
Seeing Qian Renxue's expression, Xiao Chenyu patted her hand and said softly:
"Do you want to become the richest person in the future Douluo Continent?"
"Huh? Is it really okay?"
Qian Renxue blinked, clearly somewhat tempted.
If she can become the richest woman in mainland China, she can also use money to make that woman look at her in a new light.
“Since we’re going to do that, the Crown Prince’s money can’t be diverted by the Spirit Hall.” Xiao Chenyu shrugged.
Standing to the side, She Long sensed Qian Renxue's pitiful gaze and said in an annoyed tone:
"You little rascal, haven't you been eyeing this money for a while now?!"
After thinking for a moment, She Long replied:
"It should be fine. The palace has a huge funding gap, so this little bit won't make a difference. If all else fails, I still have some here."
"Hehe, how could I use Uncle She's money?"
Not content with his newfound advantage, Xiao Chenyu chuckled and looked at She Long.
"explain!"
She Long uttered a single word, and judging from Xiao Chenyu's demeanor, he knew perfectly well that Xiao Chenyu was asking for something in return.
He was still very happy to see Xiao Chenyu wholeheartedly planning for Qian Renxue.
Just thinking about Xiao Chenyu's endless stream of ideas made him feel like he had wasted so many years of his life, and he felt a little annoyed.
"Um... I want to open a restaurant that caters to low-level Soul Masters and ordinary people, and I need a group of Soul Masters." Xiao Chenyu rubbed his hands together.
"What would a restaurant catering to the low-end market need a Soul Master for?"
She Long frowned, somewhat unable to keep up with Xiao Chenyu's train of thought.
“Uncle She, think about it. Every chef and waiter in every restaurant needs to be a Soul Master, right? And from raising and cultivating the ingredients to processing them, you also need Soul Masters, right?” Xiao Chenyu counted on his fingers.
"Ha, is this a low-end restaurant?"
She Long scoffed. He had never heard of any low-end restaurant having a Soul Master, nor had he heard of any restaurant raising its own ingredients. These were all commoners without Soul Power.
Everyone in this world awakens their Martial Soul at the age of 6, but not everyone has Soul Power.
