Hou Niao was uncharacteristically staying in Sikong Mansion to cultivate his body and mind, which made many of the old servants of Sikong Mansion who knew him very well wonder, why had he suddenly changed his nature?
In fact, he was not completely staying inside the mansion; rather, he was using the time to exchange his merits for as many valuable material items as he could, especially those of high value.
He excused it as cultivating some kind of special swordsmanship, cultivation techniques, and so on.
He had a bad feeling that perhaps this time at the Shan Sect's annual meeting, he would be punished, which was usually no big deal for him, but previously when he was punished, the best part was that he was penniless, so they could only take his future, not a penny of his present situation.
But now he was no longer a poor man, possessing considerable wealth, especially having accumulated a lot of merits, which he couldn't take with him…
So he could only realize their value!
