Chapter 98: Sitting on the fence

"My Sun Clan has faced many obstacles in development over the years. While we now have three spirit-root cultivators, another was recently born into the clan," Sun Tianming remarked casually, ignoring Yun Yunyang's polite words.

"Is that so? Congratulations, Brother Tianming!"

"Ah, but the lack of cultivation resources in the clan is a major concern. We have no reliable means of acquiring such resources. As our spirit-root cultivators grow stronger, their cultivation will require significant resources. This is currently my greatest worry."

Yun Yunyang listened in silence, sipping his tea without a word.

He understood Sun Tianming's intentions well enough but chose to feign ignorance, unwilling to be the first to break the silence. If he addressed the matter outright, he would lose the upper hand in the conversation.
