Yu Chuan looked around and thought for a moment, then looked at Yu Chuan and said, "How about you teach me formations and talismans, Father?"

"Why do you want to learn these two things?" Chong Jiu couldn't miss his wandering gaze; there must be a reason.

Yu Chuan's eyes lit up and he said, "Amazing! Look, if I set up an array around me when I break through, others won't be able to come in and disturb me."

"..." This reason is good, and he can't refute it.

Chong Jiu nodded, even though he knew there were other reasons behind it, he couldn't pry too much.

Even if it's your own son, you won't pry into his secrets; everyone has their own secrets.

“I’ll start teaching you tomorrow. Go apologize to your mother later. You should listen to her, even if she’s wrong.”

Yu Chuan's lips twitched as he asked, "Dad, where did you find this twisted logic?"

“From your mother.” Chong Jiu stood up. “Alright, your grandmaster has obediently gone to cultivate, so you should go and apologize obediently too.”

When Yu Chuan apologized to Shu Jianyue, Shu Jianyue happened to answer Wu Yan's two questions.

Wu Yan has only recently established his foundation. Even if he has a wealth of knowledge, his cultivation level will limit the quality of the pills he can refine.

"Mother, I'm sorry, Yu'er will never do this again, please forgive me."

Shu Jianyue paused for a moment, looked at Chong Jiu who had come in with her, smiled, and pulled Yu Chuan aside, saying, "Yu'er, it's not that I don't want you to go out and play, but shouldn't you take care of things first before you play?"

"Your master is your elder. He asked you to take care of your junior brother. You can refuse if you have important matters to attend to, but you can't refuse your master's request just because you want to play."

"If our master's demands are too unreasonable, we can refuse, but are his demands unreasonable?"

"No, he just wanted you to take care of his junior brother, but you treated him like a ball and kicked him around."

"Have you ever thought about how your junior brother will be hurt? He might think that you don't like him, which is why you don't want to play with him."

"Think about it again. If your mother entrusted you to your grandmaster, and your grandmaster gave you to the sky instead, and the sky didn't want to take you, wouldn't you be upset?"

Yu Chuan is still young. Even though he looks like he is twelve or thirteen years old, he is actually only a few years old.

He certainly understands the big principles, but if no one teaches him these small details, he definitely won't pay attention.

Yu Chuan immediately looked at Wu Yan and said, "Wu Yan, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that. Wherever you want to go in the future, I will definitely take you there whenever I have time."

Wu Yan shook his head. "Senior brother, it's alright." He hadn't originally intended for him to take him around, but he didn't say it aloud.

Yu Chuan should be taught a lesson so that it won't happen again next time.

Yu Chuan felt even more sorry for his junior brother.

Chong Jiu sat down next to Shu Jianyue, pulled her into his arms, and shook his head. "Yu'er isn't thoughtful enough." He glanced at Wu Yan, judging from his tone and magnanimous manner just now.

I feel like Yuchuan can't even come close to him.

Shu Jianyue glanced at him sideways, "You can just say he's not cunning enough, and he's not attentive enough."

"You're cunning enough, but you're also thinking about your son..."

"Shu Jianyue..." Gu Pingsheng's shout cut off Shu Jianyue's remaining words, and she couldn't help but tremble.

That roar made anyone who didn't know better think she had done something terrible.

Shu Jianyue picked at her ear and looked at him irritably, saying, "What are you doing, shouting so loudly? It's not like I'm deaf."

“You’re slandering me…” Gu Pingsheng looked at her, his eyes filled with grievance.

When Shu Jianyue saw that expression on his face, she felt goosebumps rise on her arms.

"When did I ever slander you? Before you falsely accused me, did you have any evidence?"

"One-tenth of the profits from Yunxiao Auction House..." Gu Pingsheng felt more and more aggrieved. He only realized today that Yunxiao Auction House was so profitable.

It hasn't been long since the auction started, but millions of spirit stones have already been traded.

That year, even a tenth of the share could yield over a million spirit stones!

It hurts to think about it!

Shu Jianyue laughed, "You gave up that 10% profit yourself, it wasn't me who forcibly took it back, so why are you blaming me?"

“I offered to help train them, but I didn’t ask you for that 10% of the profits. You gave it back to me yourself.”

Shu Jianyue couldn't help but laugh as she spoke. She knew he would back out after Yunxiao Auction House was established, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Gu Pingsheng choked. Now that he thought back, Shu Jianyue and Chaotian's expressions at the time were not quite right, as if they were both holding back laughter.

"When Chaotian made me sign the contract, I thought it was only a 10% profit, was it really necessary to sign it?"

"Now I know, so this is what they were waiting for. You're all so cunning."

Chong Jiu smiled as he looked at Shu Jianyue. He had just called her cunning, but she herself was quite cunning.

Shu Jianyue firmly denied it, "You didn't want it yourself, so you're blaming me for being greedy?"

"I was just sitting here, and disaster struck me out of nowhere!"

Gu Pingsheng's lips twitched. "Then give me back that 10% interest."

Shu Jianyue raised an eyebrow and said, "You have the nerve to ask for things back after you've given them away?"

"I'm sorry." Gu Pingsheng nodded. For the sake of millions of spirit stones a year, he had to be polite no matter what.

Do you really think that Shengshi Academy and spirit stones came out of thin air? They were all earned through his stinginess.

The previous collaboration with Dan Dian was worth tens of millions a year, and Shengshi Academy's income was just enough to cover that deficit.

Now that he finally has some extra income, he's turned it away himself.

I regret it!

Shu Jianyue waved her hand dismissively and said, "Then go ask Chaotian for it yourself. He's in charge of Yunxiao Auction House." As long as you get it.

Do you think the contract that Chaotian made you sign was signed for nothing?

Gu Pingsheng never imagined that even if he rolled his eyes at her, he would still come looking for her if he wanted to get what he wanted.

"Even if you don't give me 10%, you should still give me some other compensation, like some kind of pills or something."

Shu Jianyue knew that he wouldn't leave unless she offered him some incentive, so she nodded and gave him a discount on the pills.

Of course, she wouldn't make a loss-making sale, and naturally wouldn't let herself suffer a loss.

"I'll give you a 10% discount on each bottle of pills, but no more."

Although Gu Pingsheng was not satisfied, he calculated that he could save hundreds of thousands or even millions of spirit stones a year, so he didn't say anything.

To argue further would be a step down.

"By the way, where's the Teng Snake you brought back?"

When Gu Pingsheng asked this question, Shu Jianyue was taken aback. She had gone to the sinkhole as soon as she returned, and when she came back and didn't see him, she forgot that she had just taken in such a divine beast.

Shu Jianyue called out in her sea of ​​consciousness and realized that the Teng Snake was now in the Boundless Sea, tens of thousands of miles away.

He didn't say where he was going or what he was doing, and Shu Jianyue didn't ask. After all, just because they had a contract didn't mean he had to tell her everything. As long as he didn't cause trouble, it was fine.

I told him to be careful and then I left him alone.
