I'm The Lowest-Ranking Daughter Of A Martial Arts Villain (2 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 164

Ask me to support Hee Hee Pavilion under better terms?

Hee Mi pondered Hee Seon’s words for a moment.

“To keep supporting Hee Hee Pavilion as is, but find a way to extract better terms from me—that’s what you mean.”

“Indeed, Sister, your wisdom is unmatched! Even with my clumsy explanation, you grasped it instantly—I’m truly moved!”

Hee Mi pretended not to hear Hee Seon’s flattery and sank into thought. There must be a reason Su Hee specifically used the name ‘Nak Hwa Gok Ju.’ Probably, only by invoking that name could Su Hee’s claim hold any persuasive power.

‘So in the end… it all comes down to numbers.’

Su Hee isn’t foolish—quite clever, in fact. More precisely, cunning. Naturally, then, she couldn’t endure staying in Wol Yeong Gak after Ja Ryong entered.

While Hee Seon hesitated over whether to lay out all the details, Hee Mi spoke again.

“It seems the remaining children in Nak Hwa Gok are fewer than expected. Since there aren’t enough to declare herself Young Sect Leader outright, she’s weighing her options between Hee Hee Pavilion and Maeng Ho Gak to secure the best deal.”
