Si Hao's face was familiar to the people of Danwang City, and since he hadn't intended to hide his identity this time, he naturally attracted a lot of attention. Therefore, the key question was what he was doing with this group of people—it was, of course, for show.

Since it wasn't convenient for the junior sister to handle this herself, she left it to him. Her reasoning was quite sound: wasn't that the famous fabric shop in Pill King City? Since they'd already spent spirit stones, they shouldn't waste it. She'd lead a group of people to bring back all the fabric and clothes—a way to make the most of it!

When Si Hao received the message, his face darkened. He could handle moving the fabric by himself; a larger spatial ring would have been enough. Calling so many people was a complete waste.

However, Junior Sister's reasoning was also quite valid. She had previously allowed that bastard Hua Rong to take over the shop under her name. While some of the fools from the four major families might seem harmless on the surface, who knew if they might harbor resentment and cause trouble behind her back? Therefore, she needed to trouble Second Senior Brother to make a trip and put the Pill King Hall's mark on the shop, to see how they could cause any more trouble.

So, this large group of people came purely for show.

Si Hao, dressed in a black outfit and holding a sword, looked like a cold-faced god of death as he watched a group of people moving fabric, occasionally giving instructions: "The young master has ordered that the fabric and clothes must not be damaged."

"yes."

These twenty or thirty men were all well-trained and highly capable servants, more than capable of handling these small tasks. Si Hao watched as they emptied the shop and then the warehouse, before ordering the cleaning to begin.

After cleaning up, he led twenty or thirty people out, affixed the seal of the Pill King Palace to the shop, and left.

Xu Qing and Bai Ye watched helplessly as Si Hao, that cold-faced killing god, personally took action, did just that little bit, and then went back, as if it were all unreal.

What do you think?

"I'm doing this for you to see, and also for the people of Danwang City to see." Xu Qing sighed. That young boy had such a meticulous mind; the golden age of Danwang Palace was about to begin.

"Brilliant!" This small action directly suppressed the uproar, reaffirmed the ownership of the shop, and served as a warning to the four major families: they had better behave themselves, because the Danwang Palace will always be in charge in Danwang City.

"Was this person's doing?" Bai Ye could hardly hide his shock.

"Who else could it be but that person? Just remember, whatever you do, never offend that person. That person is now the apple of the eye of His Majesty, the Palace Master of Jingli, the Eldest Senior Brother, the Second Senior Brother, and Xiu Qiyu. If he falls or gets hurt, the consequences could be severe."

"I know my limits, thank you for reminding me."

"We've been brothers for so many years, don't take this little thing to heart."

In fact, Si Hao did not return directly to the Danwang Palace, but disguised himself and went directly to the restaurant in the East District.

As expected, Hua Rong was lounging on the soft couch with her legs crossed, a table in front of her with fresh spiritual fruits on it. She couldn't be more comfortable.

Si Hao stood directly in front of Hua Rong with a dark expression. He just stared at Hua Rong without any emotion.

Hua Rong quickly lay down: "Master Alchemist, what brings you here so suddenly?" Her tone was somewhat cautious.

Si Hao was still holding that black longsword in his arms, and with his tall stature, he was a silent intimidator.

Hua Rong felt her hair stand on end. Si Hao, with his perfect Golden Core cultivation, could easily crush a late-stage Golden Core cultivator like him with a flick of his finger.

"I've come to talk to you."

Hua Rong looked extremely frightened. "What do we have to talk about?" she thought, but she still cautiously said, "Alright, please speak, Master Si Dan."

"Do you know what kind of reputation Junior Sister has in the Pill King Hall right now?"

Hua Rong shook her head honestly, "I don't know, I haven't been in the Danwang Palace these past few days, okay?" So the point is, Si Hao actually came to settle accounts with him. After realizing this, Hua Rong was completely distraught.

However, it is clear that Si Hao is not so cold-blooded and ruthless. He can still calmly communicate with Hua Rong at this moment, instead of following Ye Xiruo's message to first punish Hua Rong.

"Has something happened?"

"Yes, it's related to you, and it's related to Junior Sister Ye."

Hua Rong quickly realized the key to the problem: the alchemist he had properly educated.

Do you know the consequences of provoking public outrage?

"Come at me if you have any problems. I'll take responsibility for my own actions." Hua Rong's nonchalant attitude made Si Hao's forehead veins bulge.

"You haven't forgotten who issued the mission, have you?!" he gritted his teeth.

"So, Xiao Yezi is now being attacked by everyone. That explains why she hasn't come to report for several days."

"You don't need to worry about this. But I think you should know what it means to stop when it's appropriate." Hua Rong instinctively saw a flash of white light before her eyes, and the table in front of her had been cut in half. The fruits on the table were scattered all over the floor, and the cut was smooth and clean! Hua Rong felt a chill run down her spine. She swallowed hard and said nervously, "I understand. I will definitely be more careful in the future."

Xiao Yezi is so insidious! Not only did he hide in the back, but he also sent Si Hao, that cold-faced killer, to threaten and scare him. Poor thing, he was really frightened. Is this a weak alchemist? With this physique, skill, and speed, he can completely rival those madmen from the Wan Jian gang, okay?

To put it bluntly, he is now the meat on the chopping block, and Si Hao is the sharp knife, while the knife's owner is Ye Xiruo.

"This restaurant doesn't belong to Xiao Yezi alone. Xiu Qiyu owns 25% of it. You should think about it carefully!"

Before Hua Rong could recover from the previous blow, another mercilessly descended upon him. Si Hao was not to be trifled with, but Xiu Qiyu was even more so; one was a Golden Core cultivator, the other a Nascent Soul cultivator—a single glance from him could probably send him flying.

In addition, Xiu Qiyu is Qingqing's most respected senior brother, and Qingqing will definitely help Xiu Qiyu in the future. The more she thinks about it, the more miserable she feels.

"I understand. I will definitely make the most of my time and get the restaurant in good order."

Si Hao nodded: "My junior sister asked me to pass on a message to you: don't let it interfere with your cultivation."

Hua Rong was speechless. It wasn't that Xiao Yezi didn't care about him at all, but hearing these words from Si Hao's mouth felt chilly.

"You can delegate tasks to the managers; you just need to oversee the overall process."

"I understand. Please thank the young master for me."
