Chapter 781 Something's Wrong with This World (12)

Lu Shuangxing poured Yun Jianxian a cup of spiritual tea. Yun Jianxian accepted the tea with profuse thanks and sipped it as if it were the first time he had ever tasted spiritual tea. Suddenly, pearl-like tears fell from Yun Jianxian's eyes.

"What's wrong with you?" Lu Shuangxing couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't had spiritual tea in a long time, and I miss it." Yun Jianxian said, wiping away his tears. "Can you imagine? I haven't had spiritual tea for a whole day. I feel my cultivation level dropping rapidly. This anxiety is really tormenting."

"Is it that exaggerated?"

“You’re not a sword cultivator, so you don’t understand our anxieties. Let me put it this way: sword cultivators have nothing but cultivation level. Losing cultivation level like this is worse than death.”

"But the other sword cultivators in the communication system don't drink spiritual tea every day either, so why aren't they anxious?"

"They probably don't want to. After all, spiritual tea at 4,300 taels is so cheap, they can definitely afford it."

"Too."

After calming Yun Jianxian down, Lu Shuangxing patted her shoulder and said, "Alright, tell me about your situation, and I'll see how to resolve it."

Raising his head, Yun Jianxian, with a slightly chubby face, said in a tearful voice, "I don't know."

"Then why are you crying?"

"I saw the payment reminder, and the amount on it was terrifyingly large. Only then did I roughly understand what had happened. Shuangxing, you have to help me!"

Rubbing his head, Lu Shuangxing wanted to say something, but felt that the other party might not understand, so he could only ask Guan Yunjianxian for a jade slip and then examine it with sword light.

Currently, the popularity of "Feijian" among the general public has reached 70%, and this number is still increasing. It is estimated that it will soon reach 100%.

However, some important matters still need to be transmitted through sword light, after all, this system has a long history and its security and secrecy are guaranteed.

Account transactions are an important function of the Sword Light system, and no matter how popular "Non-Sword" becomes, this function will probably not change.

Looking at the bill recorded in the jade slip, Lu Shuangxing couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

The Sword Light System in the lower realm has an annual revenue of over 1.3 trillion, all of which is handled by Cloud Sword Immortal, who then distributes the money.

However, although there is a lot of money, most of it has a fixed destination. Part of it goes into the Upper Realm as income for the Yun family, part of it is sent to big shots in various realms as protection fees, some is used to pay the salaries of formal employees, and the whereabouts of some are unknown, but it is the kind of money that cannot be investigated too deeply.

Temporary workers, who make up the smallest proportion, have been eliminated, but other groups cannot be cut.

Now, the Sword Light System's revenue has decreased by 90%, but fixed expenses still exist. The enormous financial pressure has fallen directly on Yun Jianxian, no wonder she has been reduced to selling magical artifacts to make a living.

Taking out his jade slip, Lu Shuangxing carefully calculated the various expenses, then bit the jade slip and fell into deep thought.

Noticing that Lu Shuangxing remained silent, Yun Jianxian grew increasingly anxious and tugged at Lu Shuangxing's sleeve, asking, "Sister, what's going on?"

"According to my calculations, your previous income could only last for three days at most. How are you so confident that you can bankrupt 'Feijian'?"

"I don't know. I just calculated that I earn millions every day and have hundreds of millions in savings. Even without this income, I can still make it for a year, so I'm confident."

"So, you have absolutely no idea about the costs. The Yun family isn't entirely made up of sword cultivators, so why would they let you oversee operations in the lower realms?"

"I don't know either. All I know is that my dad said this job pays well, is easy, and is far from home. All I have to do is sign the form on time every month. How was I supposed to know it would turn out like this!"

Seeing Yun Jianxian with snot and tears streaming down his face, Lu Shuangxing asked for the original appointment order and payment reminder. After reading them, he sighed.

I've never seen anyone treat their daughter so badly!
At first glance, the entire appointment order seemed fine, but upon closer inspection, it was full of traps. The entire Yun family would gain a lot of benefits from the Sword Light System, but in the end, Yun Jianxian would bear all the responsibility.

When there are no problems, it's fine; a few coins are enough to get rid of Yun Jianxian.

But if something goes wrong, the first one to be sacrificed will be Yun Jianxian, while the others can remain clean and untainted.

What a family, the Yuns! They don't even spare fools.

Shaking his head, Lu Shuangxing knew that Yun Jianxian was doomed.

At this point, the more rational approach would be to completely abandon Yun Jianxian and watch her go through with a ghost marriage.

After all, we were just friends with some feelings, not people with shared interests, so there was no need for us to pay any attention to each other.

But seeing Yun Jianxian's expectant look, she softened a little. Especially when she remembered how carefree he had been with her before, and how he often dragged her around aimlessly, it touched the softest spot in Lu Shuangxing's heart.

"Fine, I'll be stupid this once."

"What's wrong?" Yun Jianxian asked curiously.

"It's nothing, just a thought. I have some bad news and some even worse news. Which one do you want to hear?"

Yun Jianxian almost burst into tears.

Tears streamed down her face as she grabbed Lu Shuangxing's clothes, sobbing, "Why is it all bad news?"

"There's nothing we can do; there's no good news now."

"So what's the bad news?"

"You are dead."

"This is already bad news, so what's worse?"

"You're being arranged into a ghost marriage!"

"Wow!"

Seeing Yun Jianxian crying uncontrollably, Lu Shuangxing held his hand and said, "Remember this from now on: don't sign any paper you don't understand, or even your own father could ruin you. But don't worry, you still have a way out."

"If they're about to be forced into a ghost marriage, is there any way out for them?"

"Yes. One way is to kill all the creditors, send them to the underworld, and repeat this process until they are forced into a ghost marriage."

"I've only reached the Foundation Establishment stage! How could I possibly take down those creditors?"

"Then let's choose another path, go to the Feijian Building, and find a woman named Yaoguang."

"and then?"

"Join them, no matter what method you use, you have to join them. Do whatever they ask you to do, even if they ask you to be their bed warmer, you must agree, understand?"

Yun Jianxian was about to say that he didn't want to warm the bed, but when he saw Lu Shuangxing's serious expression, he knew that this might be the last way.

Ruffling Yun Jianxian's hair, Lu Shuangxing said seriously, "Sell whatever you can before you go. Forget about your previous identity; it's already a liability."

"it is good."

"Don't contact anyone else either; you never know who might betray you."

"Where are the parents?"

"They're the ones who tricked you, and you're still going after them? Are you afraid you won't die soon enough?"

"Okay, I got it. I'm going."

Go ahead, and best of luck.

"Ah."

Yun Jianxian wept as he transformed into sword light, carrying Lu Shuangxing's blessing, and flew towards the Feijian Building.

Watching Yun Jianxian leave, Lu Shuangxing suddenly felt a sense of irony.

Yun Jianxian possessed outstanding talent. Even with the family's strong support, achieving Foundation Establishment at the age of twelve was already a genius among geniuses and the face of the Yun family.

But now, even such geniuses can be easily discarded for their own benefit.

Is something a little off about this world?
