Chapter 16: Shouyang Arena Opens



Xu Qiuqian was surprised.

"Cook? How do you do it?"

"I saw a kitchen in the yard behind the store and found that the cooking stove was usable, so I cleaned it up."

"Oh." Xu Qiuqian nodded. If Yun Yi hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten that there was a small courtyard behind the store.

The small courtyard is also two-story. It is not small, but it is rather messy. It is particularly dirty because no one has lived there or cleaned it for many years.

The systematic cleaning at that time only included the store but not the yard. She was too lazy to do it. In addition, Xu Qiuqian felt that the second floor of the store could also be used as her sleeping place, and she could just pretend that the small yard did not exist. Unexpectedly, Yun Yi actually cleaned it and even used the kitchen in the yard to cook.

"Okay, I'll try it."

Yun Yi hurried to the backyard and brought out the bowl.

Passing the bowl to Xu Qiuqian, Yun Yi said embarrassedly: "I only found some cakes. I made a bowl of porridge with the cakes. Please don't despise it."

Xu Qiuqian took it and took a sip.

It can’t be said to be unpalatable, but it’s not delicious either, after all, the only ingredient is pancake.

He drank it all in one gulp and returned the bowl to Yun Yi: "Not bad."

"I'm glad you like it." Yun Yi seemed to be praised and looked very happy. "Then I'll wash the dishes first. The yard is not clean yet. I'll clean up after I finish washing the dishes."

Xu Qiuqian waved her hand when she heard that: "There's no need to clean up the yard. I don't usually use it anyway."

But Yun Yi suddenly became depressed.

"But if I don't do these, I don't know what else I can do..."

"..." So pitiful, as if she had bullied him.

Sighed.

"Never mind. It's up to you."

After getting the answer, Yun Yi became happy again: "Thank you!"

Looking at Yun Yi's back as he left with the bowl, Xu Qiuqian seemed to be thinking about something.

To be honest, it doesn’t matter if I’m alone, I can just make a pancake. But if I have a child, I can’t live this rough anymore.

We have to add some other things to the store, such as tables and chairs, as well as cleaning tools. We can't let Yun Yi kneel on the ground and wipe the floor with a towel every day.

Let's wait until I come back.

Today is the day when the Shouyang Arena opens. She plans to go and take a look at what types of magical instruments the cultivators need most, as well as which alchemy formations and talismans are more popular.

Thinking about this, Xu Qiuqian went to the backyard.

Yun Yi had roughly cleaned the backyard once, and it didn't look as dirty as before, so it was at least ok to step in.

When Xu Qiuqian went over, Yun Yi had just finished washing the dishes.

"I have to go out for a while. I might be back a little late. Can you watch the store?"

Yun Yi was stunned for a moment: "Are you going out?"

"right."

"I can do it!"

"That's good. Don't clean the yard for now. Look after the store. What if customers come? You can clean it when I come back." She reminded.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

Xu Qiuqian responded and left.

I have to say that it is quite convenient to have a clerk. At least when I go out, I don’t have to go to the store to check in and I don’t have to worry about not being able to find anyone when customers come, although most of the time there are no customers.

However, when she thought about the fact that Yun Yi still had more than 3,000 spirit stones to return to her, she couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

I don’t know when I can pay it back.

Shortly after Xu Qiuqian left, a large group of people came to the store.

"Sister Qiu Qian! Sister Qiu Qian!"

Yun Yi heard the shouting outside, walked out, and saw a handsome male cultivator at the head, followed by people who should be protecting him.

"What do you want to see the store manager for?"

"Ah! Are you a human or a ghost?!"

They both spoke at the same time.

Yun Yi lowered his eyes and said, "The manager is out. I'm a clerk."

"Oh, okay." Chen Wei didn't say anything after hearing that and walked into the store. "It's okay, I'll just wait for her here."

Xiao Ye, who was following behind him, quickly took out tables, chairs, spiritual tea and snacks from the storage bag.

Chen Wei sat down, eating snacks and drinking tea, enjoying himself so much. It was a pity that there was no beautiful scenery and nothing fun to do.

When he turned his gaze, he saw Yun Yi's face, and the snack that had just entered his mouth suddenly lost its flavor.

"I don't need anything here, you go ahead and do your work." He thought for a moment and then said, "If there are any guests, I'll ask Xiaoye to call you."

"Then thank you for your help." Yun Yi stepped back.

Seeing that the person had disappeared, Chen Wei patted his chest.

"Finally he left. That face was really scary. Why would Sister Qiu Qian hire someone like that as a clerk? She's not afraid of scaring away customers. But speaking of it, you are worthy of being my sister Qiu Qian. She hired him as a clerk with a face like that!"

"Yes, Manager Xu is different..." Xiao Ye echoed.

In a dark corner not far away, Yun Yi, who had not walked far, heard these words. His eyes, like a pool of stagnant water, did not show a ripple. He raised his hand and touched his face, thinking of the eyes of Xu Qiuqian when she looked at her.

It was as if he was no different from everyone else, with no fear or disgust.

"Indeed, it's different..." he murmured in a low voice.

The other side.

Xu Qiuqian followed the crowd and came to the Shouyang arena.

This is a huge venue, which is divided into twenty small venues. The outer edge of the venue is crowded with people. Further out are some small stalls selling elixirs, formations, weapons and talismans, materials and spiritual herbs, and even snacks.

Anyway, there is nothing you can’t see, only things you can’t imagine.

Xu Qiuqian knew at a glance that she couldn't squeeze in, so she walked around the venue from the outside. When she walked the other half of the circle, she found that most people were gathered around a table.

She leaned over.

"Come on, come on, take a look, place your bets, who will win the first competition in the Shouyang Arena!"

So that's it.

There are twenty venues, and bets can be placed in each venue. After looking at the people who are about to start the battle, Xu Qiuqian actually saw Yu Jun's name among them.

The cultivator fighting against him was a cultivator named Ning Fan, who was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, while Yu Jun was only at the seventh level. Therefore, almost 90% of the people bet on Ning Fan to win, and another 10% bet on Yu Jun to be an upset, so that they could win more spirit stones.

Thinking of Yu Jun buying the Shadow Moon Blade.

"Can I exchange points for spirit stones?"

[Yes, 1 point can be exchanged for 10 low-grade spirit stones.]

Xu Qiuqian glanced at his own points: 638.

Then he exchanged thirty-eight points for three hundred and eighty spirit stones.

She took the spirit stone and put it under Yu Jun's name. She glanced at Yu Jun on stage No. 16. Just behind him was stage No. 14. She walked a distance further and saw stage No. 16.

As luck would have it, just as she arrived, the ring was raised for everyone to see.

Xu Qiuqian raised his head and looked at Yu Jun and Ning Fan on the stage.

Ning Fan looks to be in his thirties. At this age, he is at the eighth level of Qi Refining, which means that his cultivation is very solid. Yu Jun will probably not get much good if he faces him.

At this time, the fight begins.

Ning Fan wanted to cut the Gordian knot quickly, so he directly took out his magic weapon, the Hundred Breaking Sword, and chopped it towards Yu Jun with lightning speed!
