Chu Yang and the other second-class managers had already made up their minds to stand by and do nothing in the matter of ransoming the captives. They were not really well-off in fact, if they had money, who would come to such a hard and bitter place like Lianying Realm to guard safe houses? Every single coin was precious to them, and they were all in the breakthrough period from Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishmentstage. The consumption of cultivation resources during this period was an astronomical figure to them. They had to save every possible coin for the upcoming breakthrough.
Moreover, according to the bilateral agreement reached between the Imperial Master Mansion and the Lianying Realm, these second-class managers were not allowed to directly participate in such matters, unless the vital interests of the disciples of the Imperial Master Mansion were threatened, otherwise they had to maintain an aloof attitude.
