"How do you feel?"
After the body tempering was completed, Ye Suifeng asked.
Ye Huang's eyes were hazy, and it seemed that he had not yet recovered from the process of body tempering.
"feel..."
"I seem to be invincible!"
She punched the water tank with a powerful force, causing a large splash of water that soaked Ye Suifeng's head.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" Ye Huang covered her mouth and laughed.
Ye Suifeng wiped the water stains off his face.
"Come out."
This daughter is increasingly looking like a middle school girl.
After getting dressed, Ye Suifeng carefully checked Ye Huang's body tempering results and found that it was better than he expected.
Both strength and physical toughness have increased by leaps and bounds.
It is almost three times more than before body tempering!
Moreover, the energy of the quenching fluid has not been fully absorbed by Ye Huang.
There is still a large part hidden in her limbs and bones. With continuous cultivation, they will gradually nourish Ye Huang's body.
Wait until all the energy is consumed before considering the second body tempering.
There was no other way. Ye Huang’s physical condition was very poor and she didn’t dare to take drastic measures. She could only move forward step by step.
"Get familiar with your current strength." Ye Suifeng said.
Ye Huang nodded excitedly, then ran out in a flash.
Soon, the sound of swords whirring could be heard from the yard.
Ye Suifeng walked slowly to the desk in front of the window and sat down. While admiring his daughter's swordsmanship, he took out a thick stack of books.
There were various martial arts techniques, secret manuals on refining elixirs and weapons, as well as some introductions about this continent.
“It’s time to figure out this world.”
......
Thousands of miles away from Yunxiao City.
This is a vast plain. In the center of the plain, a huge city rises from the ground, standing between heaven and earth.
Its scale is several times that of Yunxiao City, and it is full of tall attics and is magnificent.
Its walls are dozens of meters high and dark red all over, obviously made of special materials.
At the city gate, people lined up in a queue several hundred meters long and were entering the city in an orderly manner.
On the door, two large, majestic characters shocked everyone.
Sucheng.
Gu Wanxin sat in the carriage and slowly entered the city gate.
She opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the lively scene outside, and couldn't help sighing.
Since being sent to Yunxiao City, she has only returned once three years ago.
That time, she was severely ridiculed by her colleagues because of her poor business performance.
From then on, she did not return to Sucheng for the annual Pavilion Masters' Meetings, but only sent her deputy Pavilion Master as a representative.
Because being ridiculed is really unpleasant.
But this time, it's different.
She turned and looked at the pile of storage bags in the carriage.
She wants to wash away four years of humiliation completely today!
At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a servant opened the carriage curtain and asked, "Master, should we get ready before reporting to the main pavilion?"
Gu Wanxin raised her head and saw that the middle-aged man was none other than her deputy pavilion master, Mo Qiu.
The cultivation of the great perfection of the golden elixir.
In fact, including the coachman, all the servants in the caravan are experts of Wanbao Pavilion, and their strength is all at the Jindan stage.
She did this simply because the wealth being transported this time was simply too much.
You have to be extremely careful.
"No need, let's go directly to the main pavilion." said Gu Wanxin.
After many fears along the way, we finally arrived in Sucheng safely.
She didn't want anything to go wrong at the last minute.
The Jindan stage is the top existence in Yunxiao City, but in Su City, it is just a high-end force.
About half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of a tall attic.
The attic is nine stories high, and the air surrounding it is filled with the aura of formations.
Standing at the bottom, it is even difficult to see the scenery at the top.
Gu Wanxin got off the carriage and took a deep breath.
"Bring your stuff, let's go in."
After a while, Gu Wanxin came into a spacious room.
Right in front of me, a dignified middle-aged man was sitting there, holding an account book in his hand and flipping through it carefully.
On the side, a handsome young man was leisurely drinking tea.
"Greetings, Lord Luo." Gu Wanxin said respectfully.
This middle-aged man is none other than Luo Qing, the owner of Wanbao Pavilion in Sucheng.
However, within Wanbao Pavilion, he has a special position, the chief.
Wanbaoge is very large and spread across the mainland. Within it, there are specialized job divisions.
Deacon, chief envoy, deputy envoy, cabinet master, etc.
Strictly speaking, among the high-level positions, the position of Pavilion Master is the lowest.
This Lord Luo of Sucheng manages more than a dozen cities of different sizes, including Yunxiao City.
Luo Qing put down the account book in his hand, looked up and said, "Oh, it's the owner of Guge."
"I haven't seen you in years."
Gu Wanxin bowed and said, "I am very busy with my duties. I hope you will forgive me, Lord Luo."
“Hehehe…”
Suddenly, a burst of laughter came from the side.
"If you don't have the nerve to come, just say so. In a remote and poor place like Yunxiao City, what kind of official business can you be busy with?"
The person who spoke was the young man, who crossed his legs and looked at Gu Wanxin intently.
Gu Wanxin's face suddenly darkened. This young man was the one who insulted her the most cruelly back then.
Her name is Song Shuang.
"This is none of your business, Master Song." said Gu Wanxin.
Song Shuang laughed frivolously again: "Wan Xin, I'm afraid you're going to call me Deputy Envoy Song soon."
Gu Wanxin said nothing and looked at Luo Qing.
Luo Qing smiled and said, "Yes, Song Shuang has brought a lot of benefits to Wanbao Pavilion in the past few years. I plan to promote him to deputy envoy."
"When the time comes, he will manage Yunxiao City on my behalf."
Gu Wanxin's eyes suddenly widened.
Let Song Shuang manage Yunxiao City?
There was already a grudge between the two of them. If that was true, she would probably never have a good life again!
"Master Luo, I'm afraid this is not appropriate!" Gu Wanxin said anxiously.
Luo Qing played with the beads in his hand and said calmly, "Are you questioning my decision?"
Gu Wanxin was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "No, no, no, Wanbao Pavilion has always spoken with academic performance, how dare I question your choice."
"I just think that Yunxiao City can be completely independent and there is no need to send another deputy envoy."
"What a joke!"
Song Shuang chuckled and said, "You, Gu Wanxin, have not returned to the main pavilion for three years, and your annual income is very little, even worse than that of a second-rate city."
"Why do you say you can be independent?"
"I..."
Gu Wanxing was about to refute but was interrupted by Luo Qing.
"Master Gu, although Yunxiao City is not prosperous, it is also a small main city. What you have done in recent years is really beyond words."
"And the Huangye City where Pavilion Master Song is located can make a profit of nearly 10 billion spirit stones every year. Letting him manage Yunxiao City is also a good opportunity for you to learn." Luo Qing said lightly.
Gu Wanxin's heart sank gradually.
It was obvious that the two men had reached some kind of agreement.
It’s true that her grades in recent years have not been good, but everyone knows that it is due to geographical restrictions.
Yunxiao City is not rich to begin with. Unless there are unexpected circumstances, the annual income is just that little. No matter what you do, it will be useless.
As for Huangye City, it is a large main city within a radius of thousands of miles, second only to Su City.
There are many noble families in the city, and there are sects everywhere outside the city, and conflicts are extremely frequent.
Where there is competition, there will naturally be a huge demand for resources.
To be honest, with a profit of 10 billion every year, it's okay for her to go.
Now Luo Qing compares Yunxiao City and Huangye City together. If he says he has no selfish motives, she will never believe it even if you kill her.
But come to think of it, if there was no cat-paste between Luo Qing and Song Shuang, how could he have become the head of Wanbao Pavilion in Huangye City?
This time, they were targeting me.
However, Gu Wanxin will not back down easily.
"Master Luo, if I am really too different from Song Shuang, then I have no objection to your arrangement."
"Just..."
Gu Wanxin signaled to Mo Qiu, who understood and took the storage bag and a jade slip up.
"Just recently, I sold goods worth 143.8 billion Spiritual Stones, with a net profit of 19.2 billion Spiritual Stones!"
Gu Wanxin said in a shocked voice.
The two people opposite were stunned.
Luo Qing frowned slightly, picked up the jade slip and looked at it, then carefully checked the spirit stones in the storage bag.
His expression gradually became solemn.
"This is impossible!"
Song Shuang stood up suddenly.
"One hundred and four hundred billion. Unless you sold half of the Wanbao Pavilion, it is impossible to have that much!"
Gu Wanxin said with sarcasm: "Not half, Master Song, I sold all the treasures above the Xuan level, including the five treasures that are the center of the store!"
"Don't think that other branches are as wealthy as your Huangye City."
"You!" Song Shuang's face flushed.
"Shut up!" Luo Qing prevented the conflict from escalating.
His brows were furrowed.
In fact, even he himself did not believe that Gu Wanxin could sell such a huge amount of goods.
But with the spirit stone in front of him and the detailed account, he had no choice but to accept this fact.
"Master Gu Ge, can you tell me how you did it?" Luo Qing asked kindly.
Gu Wanxin was alert and replied, "Master Luo, we don't have such rules in Wanbao Pavilion."
If people knew that there was a wealthy family like Ye Suifeng in Yunxiao City, it would not be long before he would be replaced by someone else for no apparent reason.
However, he still underestimated human greed.
Luo Qing was silent for a moment, and then a smile slowly appeared on his face.
"Master Gu, you have indeed made a great contribution to Wanbao Pavilion this time."
"I will report the truth to my superiors."
"It's just that... Song Shuang has been confirmed as the deputy envoy. You will be under his command from now on."
Gu Wanxin's face completely sank. She didn't expect that even after showing her grades, she would still be manipulated by them.
A ball of anger rose up.
"This isn't fair!" she yelled.
Luo Qing looked calm: "Abundant resources can only maximize benefits if they are managed by someone with more experience."
"Master Gu, stop acting like a child."
“You are violating my rights!”
"Gu Wanxin!"
Luo Qing said in a deep voice: "I have allowed you to stay here until now because of your merits."
"If you dare to question my authority again, then choose another secondary city and give it some experience."
Faced with the naked threat, Gu Wanxin gritted his teeth.
But she really didn't have any better solution.
"I will report this matter truthfully!" said Gu Wanxin.
"Haha, whatever you want." Luo Qingsi was not afraid at all.
Gu Wanxin said nothing more, turned around and walked out.
After she left, Song Shuang came to Luo Qing and whispered, "Uncle, what if she really reports it?"
"Or we..." A ruthless look flashed in his eyes.
Luo Qing glanced at him and said, "I've told you many times not to rely on violence to solve everything."
"Gu Wanxin is the head of a pavilion after all. If something goes wrong with her, the higher-ups will definitely investigate, which will be even more troublesome."
Song Shuang bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
"Just do your job as deputy envoy. With me here, she won't be able to cause any trouble."
Luo Qing snorted and said, "For the higher-ups, more than 100 billion is not a big deal."
"A person with no background can only be our plaything."
"You are going with him to Yunxiao City this time and taking over the branch there. You must find out how she managed to sell so many things in such a short time."
"Then, take it into your own hands!"
