The Qian Family.
Atop a lavish pavilion, Landlord Qian and Landlord Sun gazed toward the north of the city. A rain of merit, a light more brilliant than gold, was pouring down. They were so envious their mouths were watering, cursing the fact that it wasn't them bathing in that glorious light.
In fact, they had been tempted three days prior, upon learning that He Daren was accepted as a disciple by the Sanqing Immortal Sect as an exception for his disaster relief efforts. They had originally intended to join the relief efforts to get a piece of the pie.
However, the He Family's attitude was resolute. They absolutely refused to give the Sun and Qian families any authority, nor would they allow them to skim any profits from the disaster relief and land reclamation work.
Only an idiot would do a job where you could only contribute without gaining any benefits.
