Xiao Huaichen went into the kitchen and took out the eggs.
While beating him, he asked, "Grandmother, do you suspect that this Xiao Guoshi has ulterior motives?"
Shen Congyun kneaded the dough he had risen the night before into pancakes and began to bake them skillfully. "He definitely has ulterior motives, but he doesn't seem to have any malicious intent."
Xiao Huaichen said: "Then you won't let me learn the Vajra Shield."
Shen Congyun said: "You kid, you don't think before you speak. It's okay in front of us. No one will bother you if you say something wrong."
"But if you go out with him alone, who knows what you'll be tricked into saying?"
"What if he not only knows the Diamond Shield, but also the Soul-Bewitching Spell?"
Xiao Huaichen thought about it and felt a sudden fear on his face.
Shen Congyun continued: "Why didn't your second uncle come out yesterday? He wanted to leave a way out for our Xiao family."
"As for you, please don't make trouble."
Xiao Huaichen nodded and decided to be honest and not learn the Vajra Shield.
After a while, people from the Xiao family came out one after another.
After the people from the three countries had breakfast, Lin Yue came to discuss the matter.
Chen Guojun said: "We will still follow the previous agreement of 100,000 kilograms of coal. As for the elixir formula, it will be given according to your wishes."
Lin Yue nodded and said, "Okay, then it's settled. When the king leaves, please pay half of the money first."
Chen Guojun immediately looked at the imperial teacher.
Xiao Yubai asked, "Can I pay with spirit stones?"
Lin Yue said: "Of course."
Xiao Yubai handed a space ring containing spirit stones to Lin Yue.
After checking, Lin Yue said with satisfaction: "These are enough, there is no need to pay the balance."
Seeing that Chen Guo had already made the deal, Rong Heng said, "We also want 100,000 kilograms of coal, but we don't have any spirit stones, we only have gold notes."
Lin Yue said: "That's fine."
The two parties started trading immediately.
The Crown Prince of Wu was anxious: "You...you won't fight for it?"
Chen Guojun asked, "Why didn't you fight for it?"
I tried my best.
But it's no use.
Rong Heng said, "I think Master Xiao is a powerful figure. If he can't do anything, let alone me."
"Besides, my mother said that as long as I can return alive, she doesn't expect anything else."
Lin Yue couldn't help laughing: "Prince Rong is a man of temperament and straightforward."
"How about this, when you leave, I'll give you a bottle of the anti-eating pill made by my husband."
Prince Rong said happily, "That's great. How many are there?"
Lin Yue said: "Twelve."
Prince Rong said, "That's enough for us to share. Thank you, Madam Xiao."
Xiao Yubai asked in surprise, "Your husband can also make pills?"
Lin Yue said, "Of course. The recipes I sell to you have all been tested by my husband. Only when there are no problems can they be used by you."
"So you can take it back and rest assured. As long as the materials are correct and the heat is high enough, it will be successfully refined."
"This is also the reason why our Xiao family's business is so good."
The Crown Prince of Wu hesitated: "If I order coal now, will I get the refined elixir as a gift?"
Lin Yue said, "I see the prince is so hesitant, worried that you wouldn't dare eat it even if I gave it to you. Why waste it?"
The Crown Prince of Wu quickly said, "I dare!"
At last, he muttered quietly: "I have already eaten the meal, why would I not dare to take the pills?"
Seeing this, Lin Yue said, "Okay then. From today on, anyone who orders 100,000 kilograms of coal will receive a bottle of our Xiao family's food-avoidance pill."
"As for Prince Rong, if you don't mind, you can stay here for a few more days."
Rong Heng touched his butt. He was thinking about it, but his butt was still burning with pain from being pecked by that chicken last night.
“That chicken…”
Lin Yue said: "Did he bully you?"
Rong Heng frowned, "We spent the whole night trying to catch them, but we didn't catch any. Everyone was injured, and they just pecked at their butts. It was so annoying."
The King of Chen and the Crown Prince of Wu couldn't help laughing.
Lin Yue said: "Maybe it's because there's a lot of flesh on my butt, so he enjoys pecking it."
Rong Heng had no words to express his grievances, he just felt that the chicken was "too bad".
"Is that chicken for sale?"
"I want to buy it."
Lin Yue said: "Do you want to buy it and kill it?"
Rong Heng said: "No, no... I just think... it's very special."
Lin Yue said: "That chicken can dig coal, and he doesn't ask for wages, so I won't sell it."
Rong Heng: “…” I can also dig coal.
But why compete with a chicken?
So I had to remain silent.
Chen Guojun was about to return to the country to find a prince and a young man from an aristocratic family to send to him. Before leaving, he took a food-avoidance pill as a snack. He had just taken one when Xiao Yubai stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, although this food-avoidance pill is not precious, it can be used as a life-saving medicine in times of danger. Why waste it?"
Chen Guojun was very reluctant: "Then can't we just buy the coal and refine it ourselves?"
Xiao Yubai said: "Of course, but we also need to purchase spiritual medicine, which costs money."
"Most importantly, the spiritual medicines bought may not be as good as those from the Xiao family."
After hearing this, Chen Guojun quickly hid the elixir.
He said to Xiao Yubai earnestly, "Master, I grew up with you and we are as close as brothers. Your staying here is the hope of our Chen State, so we must stay close to you."
Xiao Yubai had a blank expression on his face: "I remember that when I arrived in Chen State, His Majesty had already..."
Chen Guojun seemed to know what he was about to say and quickly interrupted him: "Is that important?"
"None of that matters."
"What's important is that I treat you as my own brother."
"Abai, you can do it!"
