The streets of Paradise are made up of countless floating islands, which are hidden in the clouds and mist, appearing and disappearing.
On one of the remotest floating islands, the streets were old and deserted. Most shops were open but empty.
However, this area is home to countless mansions. This floating island is where independent cultivators live. These independent cultivators are busy earning spirit stones on weekdays, and spend the rest of their time practicing in their houses. Therefore, although this floating island is large and has a large population, the streets are very deserted.
A humble little courtyard nestled amidst the sea of houses on the island, its surrounding buildings all looking much the same. If it weren't for the house number hanging on the wall, no one would have walked into the wrong door.
Xian Ao was standing in the middle of the yard with a stern face, while Qing Yan was standing beside him with a smile on her face.
"What? Are you heartbroken? Just like that? Brother Aotian, Yan'er has done so much for you, but it can't move your heart?"
Her water chestnut-like fingers brushed across his cheek, and Xian Aotian turned his head away in disgust.
"I have done what I promised you, where is my father?"
Qingyan withdrew her hand awkwardly, but her heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife.
All emotions surged up from the bottom of my heart, love and hate intertwined together, and finally hate swallowed up love.
Xian Aotian, you brought all this upon yourself...
"Haha~Brother Aotian, Yan'er was just joking with you and Sister Siyu. Today it seems that Sister Siyu really loves you, so Yan'er is relieved.
You and Sister Siyu are both willing to be together, how could Yan'er bear to separate you? Don't worry, Uncle Xian will definitely come to attend your wedding day! "
"You..." Xian Aotian clenched his hands into fists, his gaze sweeping across Qingyan like a knife, as if to gouge her. "What are you planning? If you dare to harm my father and Little Laizi in the slightest... I, Xian Aotian, swear to make you regret ever living in this world!"
After hearing this, Qingyan started to cry in grievance, "Brother Aotian, how could you treat Yan'er like this? Yan'er went through so much hardship to Zhangzhou to rescue my uncle, and almost died for it, but not only are you not grateful, you also treat me like this!
Just like when you fell into the black cliff, I jumped into it without thinking to find you. Later, you fell into the cauldron and I followed you.
In the world of the cauldron, I suffered so much for you... to save you, but in the end... in the end it was all in vain. You only have her in your heart, not me! Hahaha~"
From crying to laughing, Qingyan became a little crazy, and the past events played in her mind like a movie. The affection and love of the past all turned into a monstrous hatred!
Her words softened Xian Aotian's hard heart a little. He remembered the little girl who always followed him around when he was a child.
"...Qingyan, I have always treated you as my sister..." After a while, Xian Ao Tiancai said hesitantly.
Qingyan turned around and walked out the door. Sister, she doesn’t want it!
"Brother Aotian, prepare for your wedding with Sister Siyu. Uncle Xian really wants to see you get married. Don't worry, Uncle Xian is fine. He's recovering from his injuries and can't be disturbed right now.
It's not that I don't want you to see him. Uncle Xian's healing place is a key area on Xuanming Peak in Paradise. Outsiders are not allowed to enter! I begged Master for this, using the favor they owed me back then.
Tell me when you've set a wedding date, and I'll tell Uncle Xian. Also, if you're worried, Uncle Xian will let you know!"
Xian Aotian was stunned as he watched Qingyan's figure disappear outside the door.
Did I really blame Qingyan wrongly?
But why did she treat Xiao Lai Zi like that in the beginning?
Was it really just a joke?
Using his father to threaten him is just a joke?
If it was really for his own good, I wouldn't do that anyway.
What exactly is Qingyan planning?
Why does she care so much about his wedding with Xiao Laizi?
Did she want to use his father's life at the wedding to force him to give up the little scoundrel again?
As soon as I thought of these possibilities, the slight guilt that had just arisen in my heart disappeared!
Xian Aotian picked up the sound transmission jade slip and put it to his lips, "Xiao Laizi, where are you? Are you okay?
I’m sorry, Xiao Laizi, my father is in Qingyan’s hands…”
Qingyan came out of the courtyard and wandered around another floating island. Then she left the floating island area and flew towards the mountains.
She slipped into a dark cave deep in the mountains, and then a loud slap sounded in the cave.
"Who told you to act on your own?"
"My Lord, I also want to create a rift between them first..."
"Pah~"
Another loud slap was heard.
"The deeper the love, the deeper the hatred! Only by letting that man leave her when she is at the happiest moment of her life can she completely forget him and even hate him!
Don’t play tricks in front of this king anymore, this king has no shortage of discarded pawns…”
"yes……"
Lai Siyu jumped up happily after receiving Xian Aotian's message. She knew that Brother Erniu would never treat her like that.
It turned out to be that woman Qingyan’s doing!
With the help of Kong Jian, Fei Yuwen rented a shop with a courtyard at a very low price. After some arrangements, the Qingyun Grocery Store took shape.
That night, Fei Yuwen discussed with Lai Siyu, "We need to open a general store, mainly selling elixirs, talismans, formation plates, and magical instruments and spiritual artifacts. However, given the reality of the casual cultivators here, very few can afford them."
Lai Siyu nodded and said, "Well, what are you going to do?"
Fei Yuwen said: "I think we can use the barter method. The people here can exchange various materials for what they need. As for the pricing of those materials, they can be higher than the purchase price of the outside merchants.
In this way, the indigenous people and independent cultivators here can also benefit, and we can also collect these materials and specialties and sell them outside to make a profit from the difference.
only……"
"Just what?" Lai Siyu asked.
"But doing so would offend the big merchants who come to buy specialty materials, and I'm afraid they'll retaliate against me."
Fei Yuwen's idea was very good and thoughtful. Lai Siyu felt that his method was feasible.
"We've publicly announced that Qingyun Grocery Store is backed by Ji Le Tian. I wonder who dares to cause trouble!
In addition, the prices of specialties and materials can be set two levels higher. This will benefit the local indigenous people and independent cultivators, so just be generous.
In this way, the people here will definitely support Qingyun Grocery Store! Even if those people want to find fault, they don't want to offend the public, not to mention that our fighting is the signature of Ji Le Tian! "
The main things were settled, and then Fei Yuwen arranged for the people from the Fu Hall to set up several layers of formations in the store.
Lai Siyu was worried, so she used hundreds of fifth-grade talismans to set up a talisman formation. Now, even if a Lianxu cultivator came, he would not be able to do anything to the Qingyun Grocery Store.
