Jiang Xiaoyue and Xu Ni swam in the water for a long time before surfacing, far away from the Three Sisters Market.
Xu Ni took out the Water Lily from her storage bag, and the lotus leaves carried the two of them towards Humingfang.
Jiang Xiaoyue sat behind the lotus leaves, took off her shoes, rolled up her trouser legs, and put her feet in the lake water.
Sometimes it touches the water with only its heels, leaving a white wave on the lake.
"You're having a good time," Xu Ni teased. "You can get 1 point just by recruiting anyone, and then use that point to learn alchemy, which gives you another 1 point. It's a never-ending stream. Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Jiang, on your potential for immortality."
Jiang Xiaoyue didn't join in the joke; she shook her head and said, "We can't be casual about it."
"Of course we can't just do it casually, what if it's someone like Weng Liang..."
"That's one aspect, but there's something even more important," Jiang Xiaoyue said. "Nizi, have you thought about the future?"
"Trading, huh?"
"That was before, but what about now?"
Xu Ni remained silent.
Jiang Xiaoyue turned her head and looked up at her: "Xian'er has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining in three months. With the resources of the Three Sisters Market, she will only reach the Nascent Soul stage and the Divine Transformation stage even faster."
“I know that, which is why I said we need to be careful when hiring, so as not to affect the Three Sisters Market,” Xu Ni said.
Jiang Xiaoyue braced herself with her hands on her sides, looking at her feet in the water.
"Nizi, are you going to watch her drift further and further away, or try your best to catch up and be sisters for life?"
Before Xu Ni could answer, Jiang Xiaoyue continued, "I want to keep chasing until I can't anymore."
Xu Ni thought for a moment and nodded.
“So don’t always think about going into business. You need to broaden your horizons. When I recruit people, I want to recruit people who are useful to the market,” Jiang Xiaoyue added.
“I didn’t realize,” Xu Ni said, taking off her shoes and sitting down. “You’re just a country bumpkin who farms and sells mud, yet you’re smarter than me?”
"Only the smart ones go to the countryside to farm, while fools stay in the market and get cheated by men—even without Xian'er, you'd be sold by Weng Liang sooner or later."
"Don't mention him, I'll never trust men again."
Jiang Xiaoyue shifted her little bottom, moving a bit further away from her.
"What?!" Xu Ni's eyes widened in disbelief. "Look at yourself! If I had any lustful thoughts, they would be for Xian'er!"
"Judging by appearance, how are you any different from Weng Liang?"
"Let's not talk about him. Anyway, I've lost interest in men. From now on, I'll focus on making money and cultivating my spiritual path..."
The two chatted and took turns driving the Water Lily. After half a day, they saw in the distance what appeared to be someone spreading their arms and embracing a lake.
We've arrived at Humingfang.
Once ashore, just as they put away their magical artifacts, the enforcement disciples of the Qingyue Sect stationed at Humingfang arrived.
Their hearts tightened; had their plot to kill Weng Liang been exposed?
Murder and theft are not crimes. As long as the Qingyue Sect doesn't pursue the matter, they generally won't either. Even if they find out, they'll just laugh it off.
However, at the beginning of the establishment of the market, in order to better control the rogue cultivators, the Qingyue Sect set aside law enforcement authority for itself. If they really wanted to cause trouble for someone, it was completely legal and compliant.
The enforcement team approached the two men and took out a photographic stone.
Have you seen this person before?
The two looked on in fear.
I glanced at it once, then couldn't help but glance at it a couple more times.
On the photo stone, the man sits on a stone chair with a smile on his face. He is handsome and upright, and his eyes sparkle with energy.
He seemed to be talking to someone, his words carrying a hint of disdain, his demeanor captivating.
"Have you seen this before?" the enforcement disciple shouted.
The two snapped out of their daze and quickly shook their heads.
"If you see the person in the shadow, report it immediately. The seven major sects will reward you handsomely and guarantee that you will establish an unparalleled foundation for the Dao and achieve the Golden Core. This is a legally binding agreement. Do you understand?"
"Understood, understood!" The two nodded repeatedly.
A legal contract is a higher-level contract than a spiritual contract, and it is said that even cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage are bound by it.
Every Mid-Autumn Festival, during the Grand Competition at Wangyue Lake, the seven major clans and the aquatic tribes sign legal contracts when they demarcate resources.
After the law enforcement disciples left, Xu Ni grabbed Jiang Xiaoyue's arm: "Did you see that? Did you see that? He's so handsome! If Weng Liang were this handsome, I'd be willing to be deceived or killed by him!"
"...Weren't you disappointed in men?"
"Is that a man? He's a god! Ah, he's practically my deity! I'll never forget him! No, I'll go to the market later and see if they sell any memory stones!"
Jiang Xiaoyue didn't say anything to her because she also felt that this person was extraordinary.
Just thinking about that handsome, refined face with its ambiguous smile makes my heart race, as if I'm about to jump onto him.
"I don't know why he's wanted by the police," she muttered to herself.
Xu Ni said with a mischievous smile, "You're interested too?"
"I'm just curious about why he's wanted." Jiang Xiaoyue said calmly. "Let's go, it's getting late, let's hurry."
Upon leaving the dock and entering Humingfang, they were questioned again by another group of law enforcement disciples at the entrance of the market.
As for who this person actually was, these law enforcement disciples had no idea.
It is said that the person in the shadow is definitely not disguised and must look like this. If you see them, you must report it.
The two entered the market and sold the dead scaled crucian carp from their storage bag.
Fortunately, the scaled crucian carp are mainly sold as raw materials, not for meat, so it doesn't matter if they live or die, as long as their scales are intact.
These fish were all killed by the thunderous sound, and naturally, they died intact, so it didn't affect the price.
One spirit crystal equals one jin (500 grams), 1 cubic meter equals 4000 jin (2000 grams), 4000 spirit crystals equals 400 spirit stones.
Exorbitant profits!
Both of their eyes were red.
This isn't a one-time thing!
"I haven't finished scooping out all those dead fish yet, there are still so many!" Xu Ni exclaimed excitedly.
