Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 556: Chapter 37 Master’s Blame! I’ll Take it~_3

At this point, Wang Liyao had already removed her “ordinary” disguise, revealing her stunningly ethereal beauty.

Despite both Lady Huandie and Master Xuanyao being high-ranking individuals, when they looked at Wang Liyao, their astonishment was tinged with indulgent affection. Despite her young age, she had boundless potential and was considered a future pillar of the Purple Abode Academy. Moreover, with such good looks and innate beauty, she was like a goddess descended to earth.

“Master Yuan, Sister Huandie, Senior Brother Xuanyao,” Wang Liyao stood and courteously said, “I have a business proposal here that I wanted to present to you.” As she said this, she politely handed a copy of the proposal to each of them.

She then explained, “According to my statistics and research, our Academy owns thirty Spirit Bird Flying Carriages. The cost of the Spirit Platform Realm disciples piloting, maintaining the Spirit Birds, maintaining the Spirit Wood carriage compartments, and maintaining the Formation that lightens the carriage comes out to around four hundred and fifty thousand Qian Gold a year.”

“However, the usage rate of the Spirit Bird Flying Carriages is very low. When factoring in the Academy’s study points, on average we only make two hundred thousand Qian Gold a year. This means that every year, the Academy loses twenty-five thousand Qian Gold on the Spirit Bird Flying Carriages.”

In fact, Master Xuanyao and Lady Huandie had already privately agreed with Wang Luoqiu and Wang Luo Jing and knew the plan and intentions of the Wang family. However, putting on a show was still necessary at this point.

… “Huh? This lady was unaware that the annual deficit from the Spirit Bird Flying Carriages was so great?” Lady Huandie feigned surprise, “It truly is heartbreaking.”

“Indeed, even if our academy is wealthy, we cannot squander resources like this,” Master Xuanyao similarly lamented, “In ten years, that would be two and a half million Qian Gold! In a thousand years, it would be two hundred and fifty million Qian Gold. Such a loss equals that of an entire Purple Abode Prominent Family’s fortune.”

The face of Master Yuan, who was temporarily acting as the leader of the Academy, darkened. It seemed as if these individuals were challenging his leadership.

Was it he who had set up this system? These Spirit Bird Flying Carriages were left behind by his beloved master for the sake of prestige and face…

All right, all right!

As the saying goes, a disciple doesn’t speak ill of his master’s faults. It was up to Master Yuan to carry this burden. After an awkward cough, he spoke, “Don’t exaggerate about the thousand-year deficit. I’ve skimmed the proposal. Is the Changning Wang Clan proposing to “take over” these Spirit Bird Flying Carriages?”

“Master Yuan,” Wang Liyao said with a light smile, her charm drawing all attention, “My father’s idea is for our Wang family to spend six hundred thousand Qian Gold a year to lease the thirty Spirit Bird Flying Carriages. In this way, not only will the Academy not lose that twenty-five thousand Qian Gold each year, but will also make an extra one hundred and fifty thousand. That’s an annual difference of four hundred thousand Qian Gold.”

“This… Why is your Wang family willing to invest so heavily in these carriages?” Although Master Yuan was accustomed to grand affairs, a 7th-rank Aristocratic Family spending six hundred thousand Qian Gold a year was indeed impressive.

“Master Yuan, that’s our Wang family’s business secret.” Wang Liyao, having been schooled in such matters from a young age, was not just some naive young girl, “Maximum usage rights of the carriages will still be always available for the Academy’s core students, and the rate would definitely be much cheaper than before.”

“Yuan, where else can we find such a good deal?” Master Xuanyao supported her proposal, “With the Wang family maintaining these flying carriages, we could use that extra four hundred thousand Qian Gold to cultivate so many core students!”

Just as Master Yuan was still somewhat hesitant, the authoritative voice of the headmaster chimed in: “Very good! Indeed, she is a promising disciple I’ve accepted. She just joined the academy and is already making money for it. Ah Yuan, you truly need to learn from your junior sister. Don’t squander resources anymore~”

Master Yuan was stunned, he was almost in tears.

Ever since the headmaster took a younger female disciple, he had not secluded himself in meditation and was always gallivanting about. But, the matter with the Spirit Bird Flying Carriages was originally his, Master’s, problem!

Regardless, no matter how bitter he felt inside, he swallowed down his tears. If he, as the disciple didn’t shoulder the blame laid at his master’s feet, then who would?
