A Warning From The Countess

Having balanced both aspects, Lin Mu had a plan that was more viable than before.

He would support his companions from the proceeds of the bets and also help them in defeating Yao Changying. 

But in all this, a final point was left.

'Umm, I get that we can't defeat Yao Changying on our own and that we'll have to weaken her over time. But when we do defeat her, what are we going to do with the reward from Princess Shang?" Luo Liqin asked after pondering on it.

"Isn't that obvious?" Lin Mu said instead. "We simply divide it. I'm sure the Princess can accommodate a reward that is split between several people." 

~phew~

They couldn't helps but feel relieved after hearing this. After all, not being able to obtain a reward after all that might be bothersome to them. Even if some of them had enmity against Yao Changying, the need for resources was eternal.
