"Come, let's take stock."
Seeing so many goods, Du Feng was happy and worried at the same time. He was happy because he had earned so much, but worried because he had to take stock of the goods and waste time running the store. Actually, he was not in need of money and had no intention of opening a store. He wanted to spend all his time on Cultivation.
Only when his Cultivation improved would he be able to find Fu Yao. Now that he had taken over the old man's study, although he didn't even know his name, he couldn't let the old man down. Fortunately, Su Susu had experience in running a business and was very hardworking. With Zhou Jianqiang's help, it should not be a problem.
"Brother Du, is this your store? It's so big."
Just as he thought of Xiao Qiangqiang, he pushed the door open. He was a child from a poor family and did not even dare to go shopping in the downtown area. He had never seen such a good store before. In fact, Du Feng's bookstore was definitely a small one in this area, but for Zhou Jianqiang, it was the first time.
"Quick, go and learn how to run a business from Sister Susu."
Du Feng tried his best to let Su Susu do the work. It was not that he was selfish, but that Su Susu really liked to do these things. It was much more satisfying to make money quickly than to improve one's cultivation. She was not cut out for Cultivation anyway. Her cultivation had stopped at the Ultimate Emperor Realm. She would rather make more money.
While Su Susu and Zhou Jianqiang were busy, Du Feng went to the backyard. This was the first time he had checked out the rooms in the backyard. The most important place was, of course, the Cultivation Room. As expected, the Array Eye of the store was set up in the Cultivation Room. It seemed that the old man still paid great attention to cultivation and safety.
Huh? Du Feng took two quick steps and arrived in front of the cattail hassock in the middle of the training room. He lifted the cushion and took out a book. That's right, it was a soft and thin book. It was not a Cultivation Jade Scroll.
It was an Array Formation Book. Interesting. Du Feng had thought that the old man would hide some secret book under the futon, but it turned out to be a book on array formations. Thinking that he had not made any progress in the field of array formations for a long time, Du Feng took it and looked at it.
Although the book was not thick, the contents and drawings were very complicated, and the knowledge was very profound. He was so engrossed in it that he even forgot the time. Su Susu and Xiao Qiangqiang were busy tidying up the shop outside. They sorted through all the goods and noted down the quantity and price. He turned around and saw that Du Feng hadn't come out from the backyard yet.
"Forget it, I won't disturb him. Big sister will take you to a restaurant."
Su Susu thought for a moment. Brother Du must be busy in the backyard, so she decided not to invite him along.
"Okay, okay, I haven't been to a restaurant for a long time."
Although Zhou Jianqiang's sister was a good cook, she would get tired of eating food cooked by the same person. When he heard that Su Susu was going to treat him to dinner, he was so happy that he danced with joy. Children were simple. They would be happy as long as there was good food.
Su Susu closed the door and left with Zhou Jianqiang. As long as the door of the bookstore was closed, no one would be able to enter. Moreover, Du Feng was in the backyard, so there was no need to worry that someone would come in and steal. Actually, Du Feng knew what was happening in front of him through the array formation in the Training Room.
However, he was focused on his book, so he didn't say anything to Su Susu. He figured that the two of them would be fine if they ate nearby. He held the book in his hands and continued to study. Time passed just like that.
"Little girl, come to our manor and be a servant. You are so pretty, maybe you can become the concubine of the nineteenth concubine."
Just when Du Feng was focused on his book and thought that nothing would happen, Su Susu and Xiao Qiangqiang were caught by someone in the restaurant. They were three men, all wearing the same clothes. They were probably the servants of some family. Their Cultivation Room was at the first or second level of Sky Realm, so it was easy for them to bully a female Ultimate Emperor Realm martial artist like Su Susu.
However, it was not allowed to beat or capture people in Season City, so they could only tease her verbally.
"Pfft, who wants to be a servant in your family? My brother is the boss here."
Su Susu didn't fall for it. She came from the Exiled District. However, back in the banished area, the Su family was still somewhat wealthy, and she was also a young lady who had people serving her. If it wasn't for Old Zhong's disappearance, she might still have people serving her.
"Oh my, big boss, you scared me to death."
"If your brother is the boss here, why are you just a temporary resident? Don't make me laugh."
These servants were obviously familiar with the place and knew who they could bully and who they could not. They saw that Su Susu was only wearing a temporary identity card, so they knew that she was a new female martial artist. She might even be from the Exiled District.
For female martial artists from the Exiled District, being able to find a mansion to be a servant was already a blessing from their previous life. That was because they could get a temporary identity for free, and they wouldn't need to spend money to buy one, and they wouldn't be chased out after a few days.
If she was pretty and pleased the young master or master, she might even be able to become a concubine. If that was the case, she would be able to obtain permanent resident status. It could be said that she was a hen that had flown up the branch and turned into a phoenix. Now that the servants saw that Su Susu was pretty, they wanted to bring her back to the mansion. The young master would probably be happy to see her.
"Hmph, that's because we just got here. Once we earn enough contribution points, I won't be a temporary resident anymore."
Su Susu didn't want to admit defeat. She was indeed a temporary resident, but she believed that Brother Du would have a way to get her permanent resident status. She was already the owner of a bookstore, so it shouldn't be too hard to get a permanent resident status. There was actually a simple way to break the law, and that was for Su Susu to marry Du Feng. That way, she would naturally be able to become a permanent resident. However, the problem was that they were currently living as brother and sister, so they couldn't talk about marriage.
"Earn contribution points? You want to earn contribution points with your Cultivation? Don't make me laugh."
One of the servants looked Su Susu up and down. He couldn't help but laugh when he saw that she was only at Ultimate Emperor Realm Level Three Cultivation. With this kind of cultivation, he could not even defeat the weakest wild rabbit that came out of Ximen Mountain. Wanting to earn contribution points was simply a fantasy. Dream on.
"So what if my Cultivation is low? I have a big brother."
Su Susu knew that her Cultivation was low, but she could still help Du Feng with his shop. The higher the shop's turnover, the higher the tax, and the higher the contribution points. Becoming a permanent resident wouldn't be a problem at all.
"Ptui ptui, what kind of boss is that big brother of yours? He's probably an old man who sells fruits at the entrance, hahaha."
