"Qi Keqing, although Ma Keqing's life or death is still unknown, it has helped us a lot, but he is still a powerful spiritualist after all, and he cannot die so unjustly."
After the joy, Xiao Wanlin glanced at the old man in green robe and said expressionlessly.
Qi Keqing was shocked and knew that this was a warning to him.
"Don't worry, clan leader. Qi Liang will definitely forget what happened today and keep it to himself."
Although Xiao Wanlin appears kind on the surface, he is actually an absolute spiritual master. Facing Xiao Wanlin, Qi Liang may be killed if he shows the slightest sign of abnormality.
"Well, that's great!"
Xiao Wanlin nodded and continued, "According to what you said, Ma Keqing is very likely dead. Is that kid really just a seventh-level spiritual disciple?"
"Yes, Chief. That kid is about 27 or 28 years old. I originally thought that Lao Ma could easily take him down, but who knew... Alas, I was careless!"
Qi Liang sighed with a hint of regret. After all, Lao Ma and he had been working together for several years, and he was really not used to suddenly losing a partner.
"Well, this isn't your fault. I think it was because Old Ma underestimated the enemy and fell into that kid's trap."
Xiao Wanlin waved his hand, "Don't worry about this matter. Protect the young master. Old Ma can't die in vain. If anyone dares to touch anyone from my Xiao family, I will dig him out even if I have to dig three feet into the ground!"
Speaking of this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Xiao Wanlin's eyes.
"Yes, Patriarch!"
After Qi Liang left, Xiao Wanlin looked at the remaining four people and said, "Don't stand anymore. Sit down."
"Ming'er, please report on the recent situation of the family business."
"Father, in the past three months, our medicine shop has formed a monopoly in Beastmaster City. The higher the quality of the medicine, the greater the profit. Excluding labor and medicine costs, the profit has reached 70%. The profit in the past three months has exceeded 20 million gold coins, which is double the profit in the first six months."
Speaking of profits, Xiao Ming was somewhat excited. After the monopoly of these elixirs, the prices could be said to have been rising all the way. Even if the mercenaries were dissatisfied, what could they do? Buy them at the auction? No kidding, they would be even more expensive there than at the elixir shop, and they were out of stock!
"Well, you did a good job, but Ming'er, you also have to pay attention. Although high profits are a good thing, don't go too far. After all, if the price is too high, those guys won't buy it." Xiao Wanlin reminded.
"The child knows what's going on."
"Alas, Ming'er, you have great business talent, but you can't cultivate your spirit. Your father is worried about your future!"
The joy on Xiao Ming's face suddenly disappeared and he became silent. Not being able to practice was indeed a pain in his heart.
But then he forced a smile and said, "It's okay, I don't really care about these things. As long as I have money, that's all I need. Aren't those guys still obediently listening to me for this reason?"
A gold coin popped out of Xiao Ming's hand, shining brightly.
"Hahaha, that's right."
Xiao Wanlin smiled and said, "Some time ago, my father brought three elders to meet Han Tian, the chief outer disciple of Huoyun Sect."
"Oh? Why did father see him?"
"I mainly want him to help ask if there is anyone in the Huoyun Sect who can solve your spiritual vein problem. Han Tian is only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, but he has already reached the level of a first-level spiritual master, not much different from me. The disciples of the Huoyun Sect are indeed extraordinary. Those elders and even the sect master are even more terrifying. That's why I met him."
"Alas, father, there is no need to do this. I am already very satisfied with managing the family business now. There is no need to waste energy on these things." Xiao Ming said.
“Nonsense!”
Xiao Wanlin glared at Xiao Ming and scolded him.
"It's okay now, but what about in the future? Who will obey you when you take over the Xiao family? Don't worry about this matter, your father will find a way!"
A warm feeling rose in Xiao Ming's heart. Although his business ability was obvious to all, because he could not practice cultivation, he had indeed been ridiculed and looked down upon by many people, including several elders. However, he did not show it because of his identity as the young patriarch.
"Father, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now. I still have some things to deal with over there."
"Okay, go ahead."
Xiao Wanlin nodded and said.
"The young patriarch's mind is really mature. If he can practice hard, he might be able to bring the Xiao family to the peak." The Great Elder said.
"Yes, that's true." The other two elders also echoed.
"Hmph, you weren't like this five years ago. What? Have you changed your mind now?" Xiao Wanlin asked with a cold snort.
"Forehead……"
The three elders were a little embarrassed. At that time, when they said that Xiao Ming could not practice, they naturally did not want Xiao Wanlin to appoint Xiao Ming as the young patriarch. Who could have known that in just five years, Xiao Ming actually showed such a strong business talent and directly took control of the Xiao family's business empire in his own hands.
"Oh, forget it. Third Elder, I'll leave the matter of Ma Keqing to you! That guy dared to touch the Xiao family. He must pay a price. We must let the people of Beast Taming City know that the people of my Xiao family cannot be touched casually!"
Although Xiao Wanlin had a smile on his face, only those who knew him knew that this was his most terrifying moment.
Walking out of the hall, Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Whenever he mentioned his spiritual vein, he would feel depressed. Although he said he didn't care, who wouldn't care? Who wouldn't want to be an almighty powerhouse who could fly through the sky and pierce the earth, and even break mountains and rivers with a wave of his hand?
However, he probably won't have a chance in this lifetime...
Shaking his head to get rid of the unhappiness in his heart, Xiao Ming stopped and said to the person behind him, "Qi Keqing, how is the matter I asked you to investigate a few days ago going?"
