Chapter 159: Become Her Master
"Not much, just... 100,000, how about that?"
One hundred thousand is definitely a lot for ordinary people.
But Zhu Yichen is the male protagonist, let alone 100,000, even 10 million is just a drop in the bucket.
It's not too much for her to ask for one hundred thousand.
Anyway, Zhu Yichen will definitely regret it after he is reborn and find her to end their master-disciple relationship. This 100,000 yuan will be used as the cost of helping Xiaoxin find him and end their master-disciple relationship.
"no problem!"
Zhu Yichen agreed readily and left contentedly.
Looking at the other person's relaxed back as he left, Xu Qiuqian smiled slightly.
The next day.
Feeling the noise coming from outside the door, Xu Qiuqian, who was practicing, opened his eyes.
It was a disciple of the Xiao family, who came to remind her that it was time to go to the agreed place for dinner.
Xu Qiuqian responded and went to eat. Zhu Xin, Zhu Yichen and Xiao Pingyue were already ready and were waiting for her.
The two siblings looked very happy.
"Sister Xu, come here quickly. This crystal bun is delicious. Try it."
As soon as Xu Qiuqian sat down, Zhu Xin put a crystal bun into Xu Qiuqian's bowl.
Then another pastry was put into the bowl.
"Master, try it. This sweet-scented osmanthus cake is also very good. It's sweet but not greasy."
Xu Qiuqian paused and looked at Zhu Yichen, who quickly smiled ingratiatingly at Xu Qiuqian.
"Master?" Xiao Pingyue and Zhu Xin were both stunned. "What master?"
Before Xu Qiuqian could explain, Zhu Yichen said, "Last night I begged Master to accept me as her disciple. Master was moved by my sincerity and agreed. So from now on, she is my master!"
Then he assured Xu Qiuqian: "Master, don't worry. I will never let you down!"
"..."Xu Qiuqian even suspected that she had sleepwalked after falling asleep yesterday.
Otherwise, how could Zhu Yichen say that she cared deeply about him? But she didn't sleep at all yesterday, so naturally she wouldn't sleepwalk.
After thinking it over again and again, Xu Qiuqian believed that the person in the dream was not her but most likely Zhu Yichen.
But she didn't react much, and was even happy to see it happen.
How happy Zhu Yichen is now, how regretful he will be after his rebirth.
So she smiled and didn't explain anything.
Xiao Pingyue and Zhu Xin took it as her consent.
After looking Zhu Yichen up and down, Xiao Pingyue still couldn't figure out what Xu Qiuqian liked about Zhu Yichen. Why did he accept him as his disciple? Was it because he was good-looking? But there were no ugly cultivators, and he felt that Xu Qiuqian would not be such a superficial person who would accept him as his disciple just because he was good-looking.
After thinking about it, I still think it might have something to do with Zhu Xin.
After all, Zhu Yichen also said that he was being hunted by his enemies.
Zhu Xin had no dissatisfaction at all. One was her own brother, and the other was her beloved Sister Xu. She was of course happy that the two became master and disciple. Moreover, she also thought that Sister Xu was very powerful. Even if her brother had a higher cultivation level than Sister Xu, wasn't he still beaten by Sister Xu and ran away in fear?
He glanced at his brother and snorted.
But she knew that her brother was beaten black and blue by Sister Xu yesterday, and the wounds on his face have not healed yet!
After the meal, the four led the Xiao family disciples to the agreed location.
The place where the Su family and the Xiao family discussed the matter was in a teahouse on Yong'an Street. The lobby of the teahouse was very spacious, enough to accommodate more than 5,000 people.
As I walked to the entrance of the teahouse, I heard discussions coming from the lobby.
"What's going on?" Zhu Xin was confused.
"Are these people members of the Su family?"
"No." Zhu Yichen recognized some people, "They are not from the Su family. These are just independent cultivators or people from other small sects and families."
Xiao Pingyue thought thoughtfully: "Although they are not from the Su family, these people should have been called by the Su family."
The Su family believed that they would definitely win this competition. Of course, the more people knew and saw it, the better. This way, the Su family would become famous and they could also take this opportunity to get the Xiao family out of Yancheng completely.
"This is ridiculous! It was the Su family who sold us the fake goods first, and now they are the one who is right!"
All the disciples of the Xiao family were filled with righteous indignation and wished they could kill all the people of the Su family.
But there was no way. When the Su family sold the camphor wood to the Xiao family, there was no one else watching. This batch of fake camphor wood was sold by the Xiao family, so the people who came naturally came to the Xiao family.
Xiao Pingyue glanced at Xu Qiuqian, who seemed to be calm and emotionless.
He then felt relieved.
"Come on, let's go over there."
At this time, the Su family saw Xiao Pingyue and his men and said quickly, "The Xiao family is here!"
"Finally they are here. I thought the Xiao family was too scared to compete and left Yancheng in disgrace!"
Everyone laughed.
"I think it won't be long before the Xiao family leaves Yancheng in disgrace."
"That's right. Hey, who are those people next to the Xiao family? Could they be the foreign aid they invited?"
"It's possible. Does anyone know this foreign aid? Anyway, I don't know any of them."
"Looking at this, the Xiao family is doomed to lose!"
Amid other discussions, a group of people walked onto the stage.
Seeing these people, the steward of the Su family looked arrogant and looked down on them: "These are the people? Master Xiao Qi, why don't you call a few more?"
Master Xiao Qi is a respectful title for Xiao Pingyue. In the eyes of the Su family, Xiao Pingyue is the only one in the Xiao family who can make them look at him differently.
But, only slightly.
Therefore, although he was talking about Master Xiao Qi, his eyes and eyebrows were full of disdain.
He didn't even look at anyone except Xiao Pingyue, and didn't take Xu Qiuqian and the others seriously at all.
"Everyone, please listen to me."
The sound reached everyone's mind, and the discussions around them stopped.
"I think everyone has heard about the Su family and the Xiao family. A few days ago, there was a problem with a batch of camphor wood sold by the Xiao family. Someone came to the door and the Xiao family said that the camphor wood was sold to them by our Su family. But how could our Su family sell fake goods to the Xiao family? Even if the Su family intends to sell fake goods to the Xiao family, won't the Xiao family check carefully when receiving the goods?"
The others nodded.
Goods must be checked when they are sold. If they are fake, they can be discovered on the spot.
"Faced with the Xiao family's encroachment, our Su family is helpless, so we proposed a competition to see who can come up with what is needed in the shortest possible time. No matter what it is, materials, spiritual plants, pill formations, weapons, talismans, anything is fine. Whatever is needed, it can be chosen from the cultivators in the hall. What do you think?"
Seeing that there might be a chance to get them, everyone cheered.
At this time, the Su family's steward said again: "In addition, we also guarantee that anything the Su family takes out today will be sold at 80% of the market price!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard everyone cheering.
The steward of the Su family was extremely proud. With just this one move, he won the hearts of the people.
Just then, I felt a chill coming from the side.
He looked over subconsciously, but saw an expressionless female cultivator.
The female cultivator is the foreign aid who came with the Xiao family.
What was it called...oh, he didn't know.
There is no need to know.
Anyway, the winner will only be the Su family.
