Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 325 Four Symbols Mountain

Han Dingxiang saw Xiao Zhan’s predicament, but she also had her own reasons that she must uphold.

"Can you promise me? Consider it in light of the fact that I saved you. As long as you agree, we’ll be even. Whatever happens in the future, I won’t come to trouble you again."

As she spoke these words, Han Dingxiang looked very reluctant, yet she had no choice.

To exploit gratitude for personal gain is highly immoral, but for the sake of her father, she had to do it.

"Alright, I agree!"

Xiao Zhan clenched his teeth and accepted Han Dingxiang’s request.

"Really?" Han Dingxiang asked again, joy mixed with uncertainty.

"Really."

Xiao Zhan said.

He still couldn’t bring himself to commit such inhuman acts; the fact that Han Dingxiang saved him remained undeniable. The fact that she risked her clan’s betrayal to inform him was also undeniable!

If Xiao Zhan could remain emotionally unmoved by this, then he truly would have lost all humanity.

In fact, he wouldn’t even deserve to be called human!

"Thank you," Han Dingxiang said gratefully.

Seeing Xiao Zhan’s resolute expression, she felt a whirlwind of emotions, and a sense of desolation surfaced on her face, "I know this is very difficult for you, but that you could agree, for that I am truly thankful..."

She paused suddenly.

Seemingly feeling that she was being too sentimental, her expression of desolation deepened, "My wish is fulfilled; I should head back now."

She looked at Xiao Zhan with some expectation.

But Xiao Zhan did not fulfill her expectation, "Don’t worry, I will keep my promise to you. I’ll have someone send you home."

Then he had Han Dingxiang escorted back.

Ye Youlong remained silent throughout the entire process.

After Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong returned to their meeting room, they immediately relayed the matter to everyone present.

After hearing it, everyone couldn’t help but fall into silence.

However, at this moment, Ye Wudi firmly praised Xiao Zhan, "What you did was right. In the struggle of this world, although all is for profit, we can be ruthless, but we cannot lose our fundamental humanity."

Xiao Zhan was very happy to receive Ye Wudi’s support.

The heart of the matter still lay with Ye Wudi, and Xiao Zhan feared that his unilateral decision might cause problems for Ye Wudi.

Now, although the situation objectively remained difficult, subjectively it was somewhat better.

At this time, Hose voiced his own thoughts, "Sparing the Han Family is not out of the question, but we must ensure that they keep silent."

"And there are many ways to ensure their silence. Han Jinhui is known to dote on his daughter. If we threaten him using Han Dingxiang, while also offering him some benefits, I believe he would be more than willing to cooperate with us."

"After all, the Pickle Federation, under the control of the Li Corporation, is a subordinate state. Under the control of the Xiao Family, it remains a subordinate state; only the master has changed, essentially no difference, and Han Jinhui should be able to understand the nature of the situation."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

This reasoning was correct.

If the Li Corporation could be controlled by the Su Family, then why couldn’t the Han Family be controlled by the Ye Family?

Moreover, being under the Ye Family’s control was not a bad thing.

After all, the entire Pickle Federation relied on the Longxia Federation for its existence. And every time the Pickle Federation faced a Demon Beast it couldn’t handle, it was the Ye Family of Four Symbols Mountain – the closest to the north – that stepped in.

By siding with the Ye Family, the Han Family would not only become the top family in the Pickle Federation but would also gain the protection of a formidable military power.

This has to be much better than mixing with the Li Corporation.

Why not do it?

Of course, all of this still depends on whether Han Jinhui is willing to accept this favor.

However, it is almost certain that he is willing to do so, because not to mention anything else, just the threat of using his precious daughter, Han Dingxiang, as a bargaining chip is enough to make him submit.

After finalizing this matter, everyone began to discuss the specifics.

But at the same time, after leaving Xiao Residence, Han Dingxiang was stopped by a group of men in black on her way back.

"Who are you? What do you want?" The bodyguards protecting Han Dingxiang immediately shielded her behind them.

But these men in black didn’t want to waste any words and directly made their move.

As the aura dispersed, the bodyguards were instantly frightened.

"Fifth Rank!"

...

A day later.

Four Symbols Mountain.

It’s not just a mountain, it’s also a Secret Realm.

It’s called Four Symbols Mountain because this Secret Realm is controlled by four major families. The four families represent the four symbols, hence the name Four Symbols Mountain.

The Four Symbols Mountain Secret Realm, is the least risky and most rewarding in the entire Longxia Federation!

The opportunities contained within it are unimaginably great; those who have emerged say that obtaining even one of them could change the fate of an entire family!

The reason why the Li Corporation has been ranked at the top of the four major families over the years and firmly controlled the Longxia Federation is not just because of the help from the Su Family, but more so due to the fortunes obtained inside.

After the collapse and reconstruction of the Longxia Federation, it rose rapidly with the aid of this Secret Realm!

However, this Secret Realm is not something that can be entered casually. First, opening this Secret Realm requires four keys, and each key is in the hands of one of the four major families.

Secondly, the number of times this Secret Realm can be opened is very limited, only at specific times every four years.

This is also the reason why the martial arts competition is held only once every four years.

After this opening, it will not be opened again until the next martial arts competition.

Finally, there are restrictions on the number of people who can enter the Secret Realm; only two people, one male and one female, are allowed each time.

And this so-called power handover ceremony is not just a transition of power, but also the time to open the Secret Realm.

When the people of the four major families appear at Four Symbols Mountain, the outskirts of the mountain have already gathered many officials, politicians, and business celebrities early on.

For them, today is a day of change in power, affecting their development for the next four years, so they must adjust their attitudes early.

Seeing the people from the four major families appear, they all greet with smiles, humble and flattering expressions written generously on their faces.

Whether it’s the relatively weaker Zhang and Han families or the now-fallen Li family, they all act very humbly.

Because they know that even these three families are not ones they can afford to provoke.

Especially towards the Li family, this fallen family, they dare not show even a hint of ridicule.

Not to mention that a dying camel is still larger than a horse, even if the Li family has fallen, it’s only relative to the other four major families. Killing them off would still be effortless.

Besides, who knows if the Li family may rise again in the next term?

So there will be no siding with one and stepping on another.

However, all of this is just superficial; in their hearts, there is a tilted scale.

This is evident from the even more enthusiastic demeanor they show when the Xiao Family appears!
