The elders of the Bao and Cui families were both greatly surprised, secretly wondering where the Xu Family got so many young descendants needing Foundation Establishment?
But everyone was savvy enough to immediately guess the reason. The Xu Family was trying to seize the opportunity to do a favor, pulling in their subordinate forces, affiliated families, and even the backbone of their private army. If they still couldn't fill the spots, they could sell the quotas.
In short, these spots wouldn't lack buyers. Selling them at double the price would be easy, and pleasing Qingming at the same time, why not?
The trickling of resources, for families, was everyday business. The Bao and Cui families were naturally unwilling to fall behind, each securing two thousand spots. Hence, the two million Qing Yuan just borrowed by the three families flowed back.
