Lin Hongyu did not deliver the promised treasure to the Zhou Family as scheduled, which indeed disappointed Zhou Mingde, who had been greatly anticipating it.
However, the stay of Lin Wan'er somewhat compensated for this.
Lin Wan'er's presence in the Zhou Family was not just about having an additional Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator at their disposal; it also meant that the espionage network she controlled would now serve the Zhou Family.
According to Lin Wan'er's own account, the espionage network she was assigned to manage by Lin Hongyu currently had twelve core members and thirty-four peripheral members.
These twelve core members were cultivators nurtured by Lin Hongyu and her, who could be turned into combatants at any time.
The thirty-four peripheral members were also those who could be commissioned to fight through money and treasures.
