Was delayed for two days on the black market.
Ling Xiao returned to Linfeng City in high spirits.
Before leaving, Liu Junhuan repeatedly told him to be honest and not to get too involved with Zifengtai.
"The Xiao family has been planning at least since Xiao Bufan turned into a ghost cultivator. Once the civil war starts, it will be difficult to end in a short time. If you get too close to Zifengtai, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape afterwards..."
Ling Xiao chewed Liu Junhuan's instructions with mixed feelings in her heart.
He had tried his best to avoid getting too involved with Zifengtai, but there were some things that he couldn't escape after all.
The current situation is that if he doesn't kill the Xiao family, the Xiao family will kill him.
This life-and-death cycle can only be stopped if one party dies completely.
Therefore, Ling Xiao will help Zifengtai kill the Xiao family at all costs.
It would be better to get too close to Zifengtai than if the Xiao family won the war, right?
While walking and thinking, Ling Xiao suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly.
He spoke as if he had the ability to influence this civil war.
In war, the power of individuals is too small.
Ling Xiao did not think that he was a figure like the Qianqiu Holy Emperor who could single-handedly turn the tide of the war.
His self-positioning is very clear.
Do the logistics!
Make more talismans to provide fire support for the Zifengtai army.
As the saying goes, "do your best to wait for destiny", that's it.
If the Xiao family really overthrows Zifengtai, then Ling Xiao has only thirty-six strategies, and walking is the best strategy.
Return to Sin Mountain.
There is an unexpected but reasonable guest at the door.
"Brother Ling, can I go in and sit for a while?" An An tangled his hands and asked in a low voice, uneasy.
Ling Xiao shook his head.
"If the girl is here to be a lobbyist, please come back."
He was completely merciless and walked straight past An An and returned to the manor.
boom!
The iron door was closed heavily, and An An at the door was blushing with shame and looked slightly confused. After hesitating for a moment, he finally left.
[It's different after being on the battlefield. He has become hard-hearted and won't let anyone say a word. 】
Qianshou Yinzhen clicked his tongue in surprise.
Ling Xiao was speechless.
An An's purpose of coming can be guessed without even listening.
However, this girl had little to do with the county prince's palace, so Ling Xiao didn't want to waste any time talking to her.
No matter what Mrs. Xia He wanted to talk about, she should come in person.
As for the "heart of stone" mentioned by Qian Shou Yin Zhen, Ling Xiao could only say that he was too kind in the past.
I would like to ask, how can there be any dignified foundation-building monk in the world who is scolded by the common people all day long?
What is even more unjust is that not only has he not harmed the common people, but he has made many contributions in fighting against the evil spirits!
So now, Ling Xiao has figured it out. He needs to tell the entire Linfeng City that the good days are over!
Since you are so shameless, whoever dares to chirp in the future will definitely tell you what the "iron fist of justice" is.
He practiced in the manor until dusk.
The three-day period has arrived.
Ling Xiao was planning to go to Chenjia Mountain when the wind chime at the door rang.
Mrs. Summerhouse visits.
The companions also included Ling Xiao’s old friends.
"You two, please come in."
Ling Xiao welcomed the two of them into the manor and was about to ask them to sit down when Mrs. Xia He said preemptively: "Mr. Ling, I come here this time to ask you to be kind enough to allow my family members to stay in Linfeng City." .”
Ling Xiaowu boiled water and made tea. Hearing this, he said lightly: "I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain to Zifengtai."
Mrs. Xia He slowly took out a key and handed it to Ling Xiao: "I am willing to give the Lion Trading Company to you. I only hope that your husband will be more generous."
These words were like thunder on the ground. Even Ling Xiao didn't expect it and was stunned on the spot.
So generous?
Just give away an entire business?
Immediately, Ling Xiao reacted again.
Yes, even if Mrs. Xia He didn't send it, Xiongshi Trading Company would be closed down by Zifengtai.
Rather than being robbed by Zifengtai and ending up with nothing, it would be better to take it out first in exchange for actual benefits.
"I don't know how to run a business." Ling Xiao said.
Mrs. Xia He seemed to have expected such a saying, and immediately said: "So you should leave me and others behind to help you continue to run the business."
"I am not boasting. The Lion Trading Company has a history of three hundred years and has some connections. The training resources you need in the future can be obtained through the channels of the trading company. It is not only more worry-free, but also saves money."
Ling Xiao suddenly moved.
Controlling the channels of Xiongshi Commercial Bank is full of temptation just to save money.
As one's cultivation level deepens, the resources required for cultivation become larger and larger.
Even if you only save three or five spirit stones for each resource, over time, it will become a huge number!
"I have a question, why do you insist on staying? With your cultivation level, you can leave Beiliang Kingdom and find another way out, right?"
The two girls looked at each other, and Mrs. Xia He smiled bitterly and said: "I'm the only one in the house? I'm taking everyone with me. I'm determined not to leave, but I can't bear to leave them behind. After much thought, I have no choice but to seek refuge with you, sir." .”
"Besides, I have spent half my life in Linfeng City, and I really don't want to end up having to leave my hometown and live in fear for the rest of my life."
Ling Xiao was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "I agree to this deal."
Mrs. Xia He was overjoyed when she heard this and bowed to Ling Xiaoying: "Sir, you are so kind and virtuous that I and others will never forget you. I will do my best to serve you from now on and will never neglect you!"
"I hope so."
Ling Xiao waved his hand indifferently and said: "Since you will do things for me from now on, then just sit down and don't need to be restrained!"
The two girls then took their seats.
Mrs. Xia He took out two jade slips and handed them to Ling Xiao, saying, "These are the accounts of the former county prince's palace and Xiongshi Trading Company. Sir, please take a look at them."
"Most of the supplies in the warehouses on both sides have not been used by me."
Ling Xiao took it casually, glanced at it a few times, and secretly cursed.
Never used it?
Then why is there only so much left?
Even after all calculations, the supplies are less than 50,000 spirit stones.
"Sir, you don't know. In order to cultivate the monks, Xiao Pingsheng misappropriated nearly 90% of the materials. He never thought that he would still be vulnerable in front of you..."
Mrs. Xiahe explained.
Ling Xiao glanced at her and said calmly: "That's it."
Mrs. Xia He must have thousands of reasons to stall the matter of supplies, and he didn't bother to pursue it.
When I took over Xiongshi Trading Company, I only wanted the convenience of purchasing resources.
"Sir, this is the list of people who will join the Lion Trading Company. They are all female relatives of the house. They are all carefully selected by me. They are smart and intelligent..."
Ling Xiao waved his hand and said: "You are still the shopkeeper of Xiongshi Trading Company. You can take care of things like personnel functions, salaries and so on by yourself. In the future, you don't have to report to me all the time about business matters. You can just leave it to me once a year. ”
He didn't have time to stare at the Lion Trading Company every day.
When it comes to doing business, Mrs. Xia He is much more professional than him, so he doesn't have to suffer too much.
"I only have one request. The matter of Xiongshi Trading Company under my name should be kept secret. Even to Zifengtai." Ling Xiao said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Mrs. Xia He immediately took back the jade slip and responded respectfully without asking why.
"By the way, let me give you another mission." Ling Xiao said thoughtfully, "My fellow disciples from Qingfeng Temple, help me find them."
