Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 338: Thunder Shadow Step, Volume Two

After stepping out, Hose and Ghost Abacus were waiting outside.

As soon as Xiao Zhan emerged, Ghost Abacus immediately knelt down, "Subordinate Ghost Abacus greets the master!"

According to the previous agreement, if Xiao Zhan helped him secure the first place, he would acknowledge Xiao Zhan as his master.

"Rise."

Ghost Abacus stood up.

"What’s the situation outside now? How long have I been in there?" Xiao Zhan asked.

Time inside the Secret Realm flows differently from the outside.

"Master, you have been inside for three months. Now everything outside has settled down. The Li Corporate Group and the Zhang Family have been wiped out, the Han Family has become the new authority, and the family heads have already returned to the Federation."

Why wasn’t the Xiao Family mentioned? Because the Xiao Family never truly existed, it was all propped up by people from Ghost Abacus.

Xiao Zhan had agreed for the Han Family to take control, so naturally, it would be better for the Xiao Family to dissolve.

As for whether Xiao Zhan needs to worry about the Han Family’s betrayal, there’s no need at all, because the entire Federation is a subsidiary of Long Xia, they couldn’t betray far even if they wanted to.

Of course, with Ghost Abacus and Hose in control, the Han Family would not have a chance to betray.

"Master, the Secret Hall where the Li Corporate Group stored their treasures hasn’t been touched, do you want to take a look?" Ghost Abacus added.

Li Family’s Secret Hall.

It is the place where all the precious items of the Li Corporate Group are stored, big and small, accumulated over a decade and a half.

Ghost Abacus loved wealth, but he also knew to show loyalty, so this Secret Hall has been reserved for Xiao Zhan since the fall of the Li family, never having been opened.

"Let’s take a look."

Xiao Zhan wouldn’t pass on good things that came for free.

Afterward, Ghost Abacus led him and Ye Youlong out of Four Symbols Mountain and towards the Li Family’s Secret Hall.

The estate of the Li family that once covered the entire Da Shan, had now become the residence of the Han Family.

When Xiao Zhan arrived, Han Jinhui accompanied by Han Dingxiang came out to greet him.

Xiao Zhan exchanged a few perfunctory words with him and then headed straight for the Secret Hall.

After they walked away.

There was a hint of disappointment in Han Dingxiang’s eyes; she had wanted to talk more with Xiao Zhan, but they never got to have a conversation before he left.

Seeing the forlorn look on Han Dingxiang’s face, Han Jinhui sighed and advised, "He’s not Xiao Yu, he is Xiao Zhan, the son-in-law of the Ye Family, don’t think too much."

"I know." Han Dingxiang lowered her head.

Yet, her slightly lifted eyes did not seem to show that she understood.

...

Upon arriving at the Secret Hall, Xiao Zhan immediately went inside.

Although it’s called a Secret Hall, it’s not a dark and lightless layout, instead, it’s very bright, like an underground palace.

Ghost Abacus explained from the side, "The entire Secret Hall has three levels, storing items according to quality grades, with the third level having the highest quality."

"Then let’s go straight to the third level."

Xiao Zhan almost didn’t need to look at the items on the first and second levels, knowing that he wouldn’t need them.

Ghost Abacus led the way to the third level.

At this moment, Xiao Zhan suddenly asked, "Uncle played a part in this operation too, was he rewarded?"

"Of course, I have already transferred all of the Zhang Family’s assets to the name of the Ye Family," Ghost Abacus quickly said.

The entire Zhang Family’s assets, that was no small reward.

But Xiao Zhan slightly frowned, "Ye Family?"

At that moment, Ghost Abacus added, "Yes, the Ye Family, Ye Youlong."

Xiao Zhan’s brows relaxed into a knowing smile, yet his face remained serious as he said, "How could you transfer it to Ye Youlong’s name? This would invite gossip and make us look down upon by Second Uncle."

Ghost Abacus hurriedly explained, "This matter has been thoroughly considered. A direct transfer to the Family Head’s name would be too ostentatious and would give people leverage. Besides, we have already discussed this with the Family Head, and he has agreed."

"So there wouldn’t be any leverage if it’s transferred to Ye Youlong’s name?" Xiao Zhan asked further.

"Please rest assured, Master. If I couldn’t even handle this much, I would not deserve to be in the business world."

Xiao Zhan laughed.

He understood. Transferring ownership into Ye Wudi’s name would leave loopholes. But transferring it into Ye Youlong’s name wouldn’t.

Excellent.

What a clever Ghost Abacus.

However, Xiao Zhan said nothing more, because, in the end, Ghost Abacus was securing benefits for him. Wasn’t Ye Youlong’s property essentially his own?

The only thing was, the method of obtaining these benefits was somewhat discreditable. But Ghost Abacus had been thorough, consulting with Ye Wudi, who had agreed.

Aboveboard, rather than sneaky.

Then Xiao Zhan would unashamedly accept with a smile.

Well, consider it a dowry.

As for Ye Youlong, she didn’t react at all upon hearing this, because in her view, it was only right for Ye Wudi to help without expecting any compensation.

The money was hers, and not a penny should go to anyone else.

Watching the reactions of Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong, Ghost Abacus chuckled to himself. The money was safe.

What a joke.

The entire fortune of the Zhang Family, tens of billions, how could it be given to the Ye Family!

That was all money, real money. Ghost Abacus would be heartbroken to part with even a penny.

He firmly couldn’t let it go!

Not even to the Ye Family!

At most, to Xiao Zhan.

Because giving it to Xiao Zhan was like not giving it away at all; it was still under his control!

Soon, Xiao Zhan and the others arrived at the third floor.

There were very few items on the third floor, less than ten in sight, but all of them were of very high grade. Each one of them, if taken out, would cause a sensation.

Xiao Zhan looked around and found two Sixth Grade Spiritual Medicines.

Sixth Grade Spiritual Medicine was valuable regardless of the variety or attribute. Xiao Zhan would never refuse such an offer.

He took them directly.

Then there were some Artifact Refining Materials, such as Fire Shadow Vajra Stone, Dark Water, and so on. These items were of high quality too, but Xiao Zhan had no use for them.

Still, he took them anyway. His Dimension Space was vast, and who knew if they might prove useful in the future.

He collected every single one of them, and at last, Xiao Zhan’s gaze stopped on the final item.

It was a Spirit Manipulation Stone.

A Spirit Manipulation Stone contained recorded methods of practicing Spirit Manipulation Techniques.

The description of this particular Spirit Manipulation Stone happened to be the latter half of Thunder Shadow Step.

Xiao Zhan’s face revealed some joy.

The power of Thunder Shadow Step had already been proven by Xiao Zhan; when he only knew the first half, he had demonstrated impressive lethality.

Now that he had the latter half, Xiao Zhan could fully utilize its capabilities, significantly enhancing his combat power, like adding wings to a tiger, ascending to greater heights!

After taking all these items, Ghost Abacus watched from the side with a pang of loss.

He had hoped that Xiao Zhan would leave him an item or two, but he hadn’t expected Xiao Zhan to be even stingier than he was. Whose master was this?

Oh~, turns out it’s mine.
