Inside the Yang Manor's main hall.
Yang Wu was calmly drinking tea. His face had a charming smile that could make all the girls in the world fall in love with him.
The original Yang Wu was not that handsome, but after going through tempering again and again, his appearance and body had undergone earth-shattering changes. His temperament was also completely different. Yang Keren, who was waiting on him by the side, had a mesmerized look in her eyes.
Yang Keren was praised as the "number one voice prostitute" in a short period of time. Aside from her powerful voice, she was also beautiful and had a graceful figure. Especially after strengthening her cultivation, no one would think that she had the life of a servant, but rather the identity of a rich family's young miss. In fact, this was not the case.
A young miss with the life of a servant was nothing more than this.
"Sister Keren, Father has already recovered and his strength will continue to improve. You can leave without worry." Yang Wu said to Yang Keren, who was standing properly.
Yang Keren replied, "Young Master, are you in such a hurry to let me leave?"
Her appearance was lovely and moving, causing people to feel pity for her.
Yang Wu said, "What are you saying? If possible, I hope that Sister Keren can stay in this family for the rest of your life, but this way of thinking is too selfish. Sister Keren, you already have a better home, so we can only support you. I only want to say that if you are not happy outside, this family welcomes you back at any time."
Yang Keren said with a bitter smile, "I'm sorry."
She wanted to say that she really did not want to leave. She only wanted to stay here for the rest of her life.
When the Yang family was in trouble, she had already promised her master that once the Yang family's matter was resolved, she would leave here and go to the Transcendent World to cultivate. If she went back on her word, the Yang family would suffer retaliation. She did not believe that the Yang family had the ability to resist.
Moreover, she wanted to enter the Transcendent World and cultivate well, protecting the Yang family. This was something that she would never change. She only hoped that the Yang family could understand.
Yang Wu had grown up with Yang Keren. Even though she had always been an introverted person, he could understand her feelings. He did not blame her for her choice. He also believed that his parents could understand.
At this time, Lu Zhi brought Guo Xiafei, Geng Jian, Pang Yuan, Huang Changjian, Lin Kai, and Shu Luoqiu to the main hall.
"Master, they're here." Lu Zhi said this and then quietly stood beside Yang Wu's side. He looked like he respected Yang Wu, abiding by his duty.
Guo Xiafei, Geng Jian, and the rest saluted Yang Wu, "Greetings, Marquis Shaowu."
......... Yang Wu's name's name..................................... Yang Wu.............
"You may dispense with the formalities, but Sister Ren asked the servants to serve tea." Yang Wu instructed.
Yang Ke Ren nodded and quietly retreated, letting the servants serve tea for everyone.
. Lu Zhi's gaze followed Yang Keren far away. His infatuation was obvious. Unfortunately, Yang Keren didn't even look at him. This made him feel very hurt.
"Marquis Shaowu, I want to worship you as my master." Geng Jian knelt down and shouted to Yang Wu.
An old man like him shouting to a young man to worship him as his master. He really lived up to the saying, "Shameless."
Yang Wu smiled bitterly... "Don't get excited. I don't know you yet."
Lu Zhi hurriedly introduced Geng Jian to Yang Wu. He also introduced the other five people together.
Geng Jian waited for Lu Zhi to finish speaking before speaking again. "I ask Marquis Shaowu to fulfill my wish. Otherwise, I will kneel here for a long time."
Yang Wu patted his forehead and said. "Geng Jian, right? It's useless for you to threaten me like this. This Marquis has risen from the ranks of the Death Legion. My hands are stained with the blood of countless people. The Barbarians were scared out of their wits by me. You should stand up and speak."
After Geng Jian heard Yang Wu's words, he stood up with a "sou" sound. His old face was completely red as he muttered in his heart. "How come the methods in the book don't work?"
"Marquis Shaowu, I am a quasi-Medicine King. As long as you give me some pointers, I can become a Medicine King. You won't lose out by having me as your disciple." Geng Jian's face was still very thick.
"You're already so old. I'm afraid your life will be shortened if you become my disciple. If you don't mind, you can stay in my Yang Mansion as an alchemy deacon. If you do well, I'll help you become a Medicine King within a year." Yang Wu's finger lightly tapped on the armrest of the chair.
"Many thanks to Marquis Shaowu for taking me in." Geng Jian didn't haggle and very obediently expressed his thanks.
He didn't have any extravagant hopes of becoming Yang Wu's disciple. As long as he could stay in the Yang Mansion, it would be a great fortune for him.
The others couldn't sit still. Huang Changjian opened his mouth and said, "Marquis Shaowu, I also want to stay in the Yang Mansion to serve you."
Shu Luoqiu also said succinctly, "I'm willing to serve you like a dog or horse."
Yang Wu glanced at them and said, "My Yang Mansion doesn't accept useless people. If you have any specialties, feel free to say them."
Huang Changjian cleared his throat and said, "Marquis Shaowu, I'm good at business and can help the Yang Mansion manage all kinds of businesses and increase the Yang Mansion's income. My Huang Family was once one of the top business families in the Imperial City, but because the power behind it lost its influence, it completely declined. I, Huang Changjian, have no place to display my talent in business, so I came to the Yang Family to serve you. I don't know if Marquis Shaowu is willing to trust this little one's ability?"
Huang Changjian's body was robust and looked to be around forty five years old. For someone who practiced martial arts, this was the prime of their life. He called himself a merchant, but he didn't have the slightest bit of a merchant's aura. Instead, it was Lin Kai who was beside him who was fat and dressed luxuriously that made him look more like a merchant.
"What business can my Yang Family have for you to manage?" Yang Wu spread his hands and said.
Huang Changjian smiled and said, "Marquis Shaowu, you are a dignified Heavenly Master. How many people would beg you to refine pills for them? Haven't you thought about selling pills and increasing the Yang Mansion's prestige?"
"Uh … … That seems to make a bit of sense." Yang Wu hesitated and said.
At this moment, Lin Kai opened his mouth and said, "In this aspect, our Lin Family can help you. I believe that Marquis Shaowu has heard of the Lin Family Trading Company?"
"The Lin Family Trading Company is one of the top trading companies in our Grand Xia. Of course I have heard of it." Yang Wu replied in astonishment.
The Lin Family Trading Company's businesses were spread throughout the various cities of the Grand Xia. Some of their businesses had even expanded to other countries. This was a rather influential trading company and they had a very large network of connections with many powers. This was also the reason why their business was so prosperous.
Lin Kai revealed a typical merchant's smile and said, "It's good that Marquis Shaowu has heard of it. We are willing to cooperate with you and sell all kinds of pills to various places. We will give you the lowest discount and take only five percent of the commission. What do you think?"
Huang Changjian's eyes flickered, but he wasn't in a hurry to speak.
Yang Wu asked, "Your Lin Family Trading Company also cooperates with the Medicine King's Pavilion, right?"
Lin Kai smiled slightly and said, "The Medicine King's Pavilion is rich and overbearing. They have their own channels and don't need to cooperate with our Lin Family."
In fact, the Lin Family's businesses were shrinking rapidly in the Grand Xia precisely because of the Medicine King's Pavilion. In the past, the Medicine King's Pavilion had cooperated with them and it was considered quite good. However, as the Medicine King's Pavilion grew larger and larger, they established another sales channel and pills became the best-selling product. The Lin Family had no pills to sell and naturally suffered a huge blow.
In addition, the Medicine King's Pavilion was also involved in other businesses and controlled most of the businesses in the Royal City. They forcefully squeezed out the Lin Family's business share and had already caused the Lin Family to face a considerable crisis.
This was also the reason why the Lin Family had said that they would try to win over Yang Wu at all costs. As long as Yang Wu supported the Lin Family, the Lin Family's businesses would recover in the near future. Who didn't know that Yang Wu and the Medicine King's Pavilion were already at loggerheads? Sooner or later, a conflict would erupt between the two. Taking advantage of the time when Yang Wu needed help, the Lin Family had to make a choice. Otherwise, in the future, the Lin Family would have nothing to do with the Medicine King's Pavilion.
Yang Wu then looked at Shu Luoqiu and asked, "What can you do?"
Shu Luoqiu was a person dressed in black. His expression was always calm, as if everyone owed him a few hundred taels of silver. He held a sword in front of his chest and had the appearance of a proud and aloof swordsman.
Shu Luoqiu said softly, "Stealth assassination!" After pausing for a moment, he added, "I need a King Pill, and my life is yours."
Yang Wu ignored Shu Luoqiu and looked at Guo Xiafei with a smile, "You're already a high-level King. You're one of the top experts in the Grand Xia. What do you want?"
Guo Xiafei laughed lightly, "Haha, your father and I are old friends. This time, apart from meeting Marquis Shaowu Feng Cai, I also wanted to catch up with Brother Zhennan."
"Oh, so you're an old friend of my father. Then you'll have to wait a bit longer. My father is still in closed door cultivation." Yang Wu replied.
Before this, Yang Zhennan had already recovered his strength, but that didn't mean that the Heaven Pill's effects had run out. There was still a large amount of medicinal energy waiting for him to digest. This was also why he was still in closed door cultivation.
Guo Xiafei waved his hand and said, "It's fine, it's fine. Being able to meet a Heavenly Master Marquis is also a great fortune."
Yang Wu said, "Then stay for a few more days. Wait for my father to come out of closed door cultivation, then you can catch up."
Yang Wu wasn't afraid of Guo Xiafei causing trouble. Even though Guo Xiafei wasn't weak, in his eyes, it wasn't enough.
Following this, he said to Lin Kai, "You can discuss your matter with my Grand Master. If you're sincere, I don't mind cooperating with your Lin Clan."
Huang Changjian said, "Why don't you let me try?" After pausing for a moment, he said to Lin Kai, "Do you know the Huang Clan Auction House?"
Lin Kai's eyes narrowed as he cried out in shock, "The Huang Clan Auction House that was directly wiped out by the Medicine King Pavilion ten years ago?"
Huang Changjian's eyes were filled with deep hatred as he said, "That's right. My Huang Clan and the Medicine King Pavilion have an irreconcilable enmity."
In the next moment, he knelt down on one knee in front of Yang Wu and said, "Marquis Shaowu, you and the Medicine King Pavilion have already shed all pretense of cordiality. This matter is known to everyone. They definitely won't let this matter rest. My Huang Clan offended the Medicine King Pavilion in the past and was almost completely wiped out. I ask Marquis Shaowu to take me in. I will definitely be able to establish the largest auction house and compete with the Medicine King Pavilion's auction house."
