Chapter 149: A Leaf Covering the Sky

I saw that the direction that Ye Linglong pointed to was actually a shop in the middle of the street. The shop was very large, but there were not many goods on display inside. However, the things were very exquisite and seemed to be expensive, so not many people came in and out.

At that time, the shopkeeper was sitting inside, counting his money in boredom.

"Junior sister, why are you standing so far away and pointing at something in that store? Go inside and take a look to find out what you want to buy."

"Fifth Senior Sister, your shocked expression just now has already betrayed you. You clearly know that I am not going in to buy anything."

…

Indeed, the junior sister was referring to the sign of someone else’s shop just now.

When the five of them went out, it was fine for the others to buy some small things, but Hua Shiqing, who spent the most money, only bought some medicinal herbs. But when they came to Junior Sister's place, they either bought nothing or bought the whole shop!

This is no small matter!

As the shop in the center of this street, its prices must be very high, and the boss behind it must be extraordinary. You can't just buy it with money. I wonder how many connections he has to use to get it done.

Lu Baiwei looked at the shop for a long time, wishing that time could go back to the time before she promised her junior sister to buy something for her.

"Senior Sister, actually I don't want you to buy a shop for me."

"That is..."

"I want to find you to be my partner. You buy the shop, and I will run it. We will split the profits. You are not spending money on me. I am helping you make money."

"Making money?"

"Yeah, your dad always complains that you're useless and just spend money. Don't you want to do something to show him that you're not just wasting money but actually making money?"

"Yes."

"Although our Qingxuan Sect is not poor per capita, we are not rich enough to sweep across the world of immortal cultivation. If we have this shop, won't we have more material things when we travel in the future?"

"yes."

"What are we waiting for? Let's go buy it."

"good!"

…

This reversal of events caught the other sisters off guard, but they also felt it made a lot of sense.

Then the other three also began to look for spirit stones in the ring.

"How about this, the five of us sisters buy this shop together, and let the younger sister be in charge of the management, ok?"

"I agree. We all have our own skills. We need a place to sell the things we make to earn money. If we sell them to other people's businesses, they will take most of the profits. If we sell them in our own shops, we can earn more."

"I thought so too, so when Junior Sister said she wanted to open a store, I thought it was a feasible idea. Besides, opening a store at the foot of Jiuhua Mountain is a good choice. This is a city that does not belong to any family and is not under the control of anyone. We are freer."

"Yes, there are only a few of us supplying the store. We are mainly engaged in cultivation rather than business, so we cannot do long-term business. There is no need to open a store in a big city. As long as there are activities and people come and go here, we can just clear out our inventory."

They had said everything Ye Linglong wanted to say, and all she could do was nod along.

"Besides, if we only let Fifth Junior Sister pay, she may not be able to come up with that much money at once, so let the five of us pay together."

"Sister, I don't agree with your last sentence." Lu Baiwei said, "I can buy this shop by myself. You can sell the goods with your own strengths, but I have nothing but money, so I will pay the money and you can split the bill with me. How about that?"

Hearing this, Ye Linglong gave Lu Baiwei a thumbs up.

"Fifth Senior Sister, you finally got the hint."

…

It’s exaggerated, but it doesn’t seem to be exaggerated.

Finally, they decided to do what they had just discussed, Lu Baiwei would pay and the other four would deliver the goods.

After making the decision, Lu Baiwei went to buy a shop. It was indeed not an easy task, after all, no one would sell such a good shop without special reasons.

But Lu Baiwei was the daughter of the Lu family, and she had money, connections, and personal connections. She also contacted her father in the process, and after great effort, she finally bought the shop.

After getting the contract for the shop, Lu Baiwei opened the stall and handed it to Ye Linglong.

"Here, let me give it to my junior sister for safekeeping."

Ye Linglong took the store contract, read it carefully from top to bottom, and felt very happy.

"Fifth Junior Sister, you are so amazing!"

"Ah? Really?"

"Really, we wouldn't even dare to think about this without you, and you did it in one day!"

Lu Baiwei was so flattered that she was confused, with her mouth raised high, almost to the sky.

She didn't have this kind of treatment when she was in the Lu family. Wherever she went, she was nagged by her father and slandered by her brother. Only in Qingxuan Sect, her senior and junior sisters would praise her generously and always find her advantages and strengths.

"As the biggest boss of our shop, Junior Sister, please give the shop a name."

"One leaf covers the sky."

When Ye Linglong said this, all the other senior sisters were stunned.

A Leaf Covers the Sky, a very domineering but not entirely domineering name.

While they were still thinking about the name, Ye Linglong had already taken out her pen and quickly wrote the word "This is" in large characters on the plaque.

I usually see my junior sister writing runes, but this is the first time I see her writing.

I thought her handwriting was so clear and majestic because she was writing runes, but I didn't expect that her handwriting was also so vigorous and majestic when she wrote, which was very inconsistent with her age.

After finishing it, she wrote a new couplet for the store.

Left Union: The spirits of heaven and earth are not as powerful as mine.

Couplet on the right: Don’t miss it if you pass by.

Seeing how she finished it quickly in one go, Ke Xinlan suddenly had an idea.

"Junior sister, you haven't been planning to open a shop for a long time, have you?"

Ye Linglong turned around, smiled and winked at her.

"Second Senior Sister is smart."

…

The store's facade was quickly completed, and Ye Linglong looked at the empty new store, feeling very satisfied.

She wanted to do more, but it was getting late and they should go and meet up with their senior brother.

"Let's deal with the inside tomorrow. Let's also call our brothers tomorrow so that more people can do the work."

"Okay, I'll hire a few more people to look after the store tomorrow." Lu Baiwei said.

"No need to hire people. The cost of hiring people is too high."

After she said this, the other four people looked at her in confusion.

Ye Linglong smiled mysteriously.

"You'll find out tomorrow. Let's go."

After the shop door closed, the five sisters turned back and walked along the street to look for their fellow brothers.

"Huh? That's strange. It's so late, they should have found the inn to send us a message. But an entire afternoon has passed, the sun is almost setting, and I haven't received any letter from Senior Brother? Did you receive it?" Ke Xinlan asked.

“No.”

"Oh, could something have happened? Then I'll send a letter to Senior Brother, and we'll look for him while we wait for a reply."

"good."

After Ke Xinlan sent the message, they began to look for Pei Luobai and the others along the street.

Fortunately, the town at the foot of Mount Jiuhua is not big, with only five streets in total, and you can always find the person by searching one by one.

When they finished searching the first street and were about to look for the second street, they saw Pei Luobai and a few others arguing with someone in the inn.
