AMSSO-Chapter 35: Serves Them Right to Lose Their Wealth

This is the Zhao family’s identity plaque!

Holding this plaque allowed one to withdraw quite a bit of money from shops under the Zhao family’s name!

And this was something only important figures of the Zhao family could possess.

In her previous life, when Qin Yiwei returned to the Zhao family, she’d never enjoyed such treatment.

Originally, she also didn’t know this thing existed, until Zhao Hanxue held the identity plaque in front of her to show off.

At that time, Zhao Hanxue put on an innocent face, saying she actually didn’t want it.

She even said she also wanted to give this plaque to Qin Yiwei, but since it was something given by their parents, she couldn’t do such a thing, otherwise their father and mother would be sad.

After hearing that, Qin Yiwei who just returned to the Zhao family, was heartbroken and thought that she must’ve done something wrong, that’s why her family didn’t love her.

So, she desperately tried to perform, desperately tried to win the Zhao family parents’ favor.

Of course, all she received was everyone’s dislike and disgust, and in the end she died a particularly miserable death!

But now, seeing this identity plaque, she didn’t have a trace of her former obsessions, only overflowing excitement!

Since Zhao Hanxue “didn’t want” this plaque, then that’s perfect, she would take it!

In this lifetime, Qin Yiwei would, of course, never return to the Zhao family. She would never again treat the Zhao family as her own family.

However, since the Zhao family’s things had fallen into her hands, she would naturally never return them.

Thinking about Zhao Hanxue’s reaction when she realized her storage bag was gone, Qin Yiwei almost laughed herself to death.

“Zhao? This should be an identity plaque.”

Chu Jingzhuo flipped the plaque over and quickly guessed.

The Chu family also had identity plaques.

Or rather, those families that prided themselves on long lineages all had identity plaques, only the shapes and materials differed.

Without an identity plaque, how could one shamelessly call their family powerful and long-standing?

Even small families that had only existed for a few decades had to make some kind of identity plaque.

“It is an identity plaque.” Qin Yiwei nodded, her eyes shining brilliantly. “I know where we can use this plaque!”

Hearing that, everyone was immediately astonished and looked at her, “You know?”

Even Mu Shiyue was surprised.

Although many families had identity plaques, and people knew that many things could be done with one, such as going to their shops to withdraw money, outsiders who got hold of an identity plaque weren’t guaranteed to get anything.

Firstly, the surname “Zhao” wasn’t rare.

Secondly, among so many shops, finding the Zhao family’s specific shops was difficult.

Even if one found a Zhao family shop, getting money out wasn’t easy.

After all, these families also set up plenty of secret codes.

They had various “passwords”.

Even if someone brought the plaque, they had to say the right code to obtain anything.

To put it in Mu Shiyue’s words: It was like picking up a bank card, but to withdraw the money inside, you first had to find the issuing bank, then enter the correct password.

Otherwise, it’s just a useless card.

Under everyone’s doubtful gazes, Qin Yiwei hesitated a moment, then chose to reveal half the truth, “Actually, I am a child of the Zhao family.”

“What?!”

Everyone was immediately shocked, “That Zhao family?!”

“Aren’t you surnamed Qin?”

“How do you know that?”

“Then are you going back?”

Even Mu Shiyue’s gaze deepened with more interest. This second disciple seemed to have a story!

But she herself also had many stories, which likewise couldn’t be revealed to her disciples.

So, she quickly calmed down and didn’t press further.

Facing everyone’s questions, Qin Yiwei tugged at the corner of her mouth, her smile somewhat forced, and said half true and half false, “I only learned my background not long ago. I was abandoned by them, because they thought my aptitude was poor.”

“Nonsense!” Xin Jinrui immediately stepped forward. “How is your aptitude poor? They’re the ones who’re blind!”

“Exactly, senior sister, your aptitude is clearly excellent!” Jiang Yunnuan also said indignantly.

Actually, none of their aptitudes were bad.

On the contrary, their aptitudes were quite good.

Otherwise, how could they have all reached Foundation Establishment at around twenty years old?

To reach Foundation Establishment at twenty must mean their talent and aptitude were outstanding!

Moreover, Wanxuan Sect was so poor, they had practically no pills or spirit stones. They’d  purely relied on their own efforts to break through!

Even in a great sect, with their conditions, becoming inner disciples would pose no difficulty.

But, each of them had their own story and unspeakable burdens, so they could only remain in a small sect like Wanxuan Sect.

Still, no matter what, their aptitude absolutely couldn’t be called poor!

Even Mu Shiyue spoke fairly, “All of your aptitudes are not bad. Don’t listen to their nonsense!”

To receive even a single “not bad” from her, one had to be a dragon or phoenix among men.

She wasn’t someone who looked favorably upon just anyone.

Being affirmed and praised like this by everyone, Qin Yiwei couldn’t help but smile, her eyes turning a little red, “Thank you.”

“This kind of rotten family isn’t worth us caring about at all!”

Jiang Yunnuan linked arms with her to comfort her, “Don’t bother with whatever they say, just let them get lost!”

“Yeah, whatever they say is all nonsense, don’t take it to heart!” Chu Jingzhuo also spoke seriously.

“Let them go to hell!” Xin Jinrui gave a cold snort.

Qin Yiwei felt even better, “Alright, I won’t take them to heart.”

She smiled, “It’s just that I used to pay attention to their actions, so I know where these identity plaques can be used.”

She also picked up another identity plaque, “The owners of these two are a couple, they often acted together, so I also know how to use this one.”

Obviously, this identity plaque belonged to Xu Chengjun.

In her previous life, Zhao Hanxue had shown off in front of her many times on how to use the identity plaque, and she’d also seen Xu Chengjun use an identity plaque.

Now she could finally make use of it!

“That’s great, let’s hurry and go!” Jiang Yunnuan immediately grew excited. “Let’s go right away and take whatever we can!”

Xin Jinrui was also eager to try, “Yes, let’s go now!”

Being able to use an identity plaque meant the family definitely had some wealth!

By using the identity plaques to take everything they could, they would make a fortune!

However, Chu Jingzhuo frowned and raised an objection. “If we do this, won’t they come after us for revenge?”

After all, they’re staying here. If Zhao Hanxue and Xu Chengjun came back to look, wouldn’t that bring danger to everyone?

Mu Shiyue smiled, “Don’t worry, they probably won’t come.”

She hugged the sleeping Iron-Eating Beast cub and said with a smile, “They just ran away from here, how could they possibly come back so soon? Besides, with the Soul-Devouring Tiger here, they wouldn’t dare return.

And it’s not like they can be sure it was us who did it—couldn’t these identity plaques have been picked up by someone else in the Myriad Beasts Forest?”

Hearing her say this, everyone thought it made sense.

“Yes, if it were me, I would think the storage bags got carried into the forest by the Soul-Devouring Tiger, and then someone else picked them up!”

“Besides, maybe people from other families also lost their identity plaques?”

Everyone grew more and more excited as they talked.

“While they haven’t realized it yet, you’d better hurry and go.” Mu Shiyue said, “Take as much as you can, consider it their compensation.”

She was too lazy to bother taking revenge on those people, but that didn’t mean she would refuse things sent to her doorstep.

Everyone nodded in agreement, “Right, this is their compensation!”

Who told them to try and shift disaster onto others!

Serves them right to lose their wealth!
