Because they felt humiliated, the Jiang family became aggressive in business. Both families mainly focused on raw silk, although they did not openly compete directly.
However, the price of raw silk seemed to have shot up overnight.
"Miss, the price of raw silk has skyrocketed right now, do we want to follow?" the housekeeper asked.
To be honest, the thunderstorm last night made people feel panicked.
As a result, when he woke up, the price of life and death had been rising for half a day. He never dreamed that one day the price of life and death would soon match the price of gold.
"The Sima family won't follow." Sima Manli said categorically: "Some money can be made, but some money cannot be made."
Once the Sima family catches up, the price of raw silk in Nandu will definitely be driven higher. Not only will the people in the lower class not make money, but the century-old brand name established by the Sima family will also be ruined.
When the housekeeper saw this, he understood the truth, but it was a pity.
After the housekeeper left, shopkeeper Qian rushed back from outside: "Miss, it has been basically confirmed that the raw silk price is the work of the Liu family."
"Who else could it be but them?" Sima Manli gritted her teeth and said viciously.
The Sima family is now in a state of despair. She has to be careful every step she takes, as any wrong move will put the entire Sima family in catastrophe.
The Jiang family is now aggressive and determined to annex the Sima family.
"Miss." Shopkeeper Qian looked over worriedly.
"I'm fine." Sima Manli shook her head, indicating that she was fine.
At this time, someone came from below: "Shopkeeper, the raw silk shipped from the four cities in the south of the Yangtze River has arrived."
Shopkeeper Qian was shocked, looked at Sima Manli and said in surprise: "With this batch of goods, we have a chance to defeat the Jiang family."
"It's a bit difficult to defeat... but it can restrain them for a while." The sadness on Sima Manli's face has also dissipated a lot.
It seems that a strategy has been thought out.
Shopkeeper Qian felt a little relieved when he saw the young lady like this.
"Master Xiao has already entered the ranks of grand masters."
When Sima Manli heard this, instead of showing any expression of surprise on her face, she was rather solemn: "It's much faster than expected."
After a moment of pause, he said faintly: "If he wants to leave, then it's easy to get together and part ways."
"Yes, miss."
…
"gentlemen."
In the courtyard, Sima Yingjun was silent for a while and said cautiously: "Why do I feel that something is different about you, sir, today?"
"What's different?" Pei Jinye looked over and asked casually, reaching out to pick up the teapot.
"Just..." Sima Yingjun frowned for a while, not knowing how to describe it.
"Drink water." Pei Jinye poured him a glass of water, "Sober up first."
When Sima Yingjun heard what he said, he immediately smiled bitterly.
He felt a headache when he got up this morning. Later, he heard Fu Rong describe how he was holding a feather duster to pretend to be a flying sword, crying and clamoring for the sword to kill the Jiang family.
Knowing that he had made a big joke while drunk last night, Sima Yingjun immediately did not dare to say anything more.
He lowered his head and drank the sobering tea honestly.
But he still couldn't help but look at Pei Jinye.
When he looked back, he whispered.
"Sir, it is indeed different."
I can't tell you what's different.
It was as if he was clearly in front of him but couldn't touch him. After closing his eyes, he couldn't find his husband.
How evil!
How evil!
It must be because I'm still drunk!
Sima Yingjun shook his head and murmured to himself that he wanted to stay with Pei Jinye for a while longer.
But as Pei Jinye tested his cultivation level, he retreated steadily.
After a blow to self-esteem.
Sima Yingjun found an excuse and evacuated quickly.
"It's so bullying, woo woo hoo."
Wait until the door is closed.
Pei Jinye shook his head and smiled softly.
Then he returned to the room, took out the small red Dharma flag, and started practicing alone.
It only took a moment for him to open his eyes.
Although the physical body can practice cultivation with the blessing of the small Dharma flag.
But there are still some regrets.
Without the dragon fish, the progress of cultivation has obviously become a bit slow.
Of course, it was slow, but it was much faster than before.
But how could someone who is used to a speed of seventy miles be willing to stoop to twenty miles.
Pei Jinye sighed.
"I want to eat fish."
"Go, look for me where there is an arowana."
Finished.
The two flying birds outside the window quickly left and disappeared in the wind and sand.
Pei Jinye continued to practice cross-legged.
It's dusk.
There was another heavy rain outside the window, and the patter of rain continued, but it soon weakened and disappeared.
Throughout the afternoon and into the evening, Sima Yingjun did not show up.
It seemed that he wanted to practice hard, but maybe he was frightened by Pei Jinye's attack in the morning, so he didn't dare to come rashly.
But with his temper.
It is estimated that after a small harvest, he will come over immediately to ask for rewards.
Pei Jinye slowly opened his eyes.
Put away the little red flag.
He reached out and hooked.
The window opens automatically.
Almost as fast as he stepped back and forth, a green and white bird landed on the window railing, chirping something.
Pei Jinye's eyes suddenly brightened.
"Really?"
"well done."
A ray of spiritual energy fell on the flying bird.
The bird chirped happily a few times, rubbed Pei Jinye's palm happily, and then fluttered its wings and left.
Pei Jinye stood up.
Then disappeared from the place.
Yu Renhai, the leader of the Yulong Gang, has two arowanas in his hands.
"Gang leader, I just received the letter. The Liu family members have left Liyue Sword Sect and are expected to arrive in Nandu tomorrow."
The middle-aged military advisor looked at Yu Renhai and said in a deep voice: "The Liu family has become unhappy because of our indifference."
"How could I not know?" Yu Renhai stopped pouring water and looked up calmly: "Is the Jiang family looking for you again?"
The middle-aged military advisor quickly bowed and clasped his fists and said, "Just this afternoon, the Jiang family came to deliver a message, saying that if we continue like this, they will not give up the Sima family's share."
Yu Renhai picked up the teacup and said unhurriedly: "Wait."
The middle-aged housekeeper looked over after hearing this.
He wondered what exactly he was waiting for.
But Yu Renhai said nothing.
The middle-aged military advisor stepped back to say goodbye.
"By the way, Lao Mo, Curry has a dragon fish." Yu Renhai's voice sounded.
"Yes, Gang Leader."
Wait until the door is closed.
Yu Renhai picked up the tea cup and took a leisurely sip.
The moment his lips touched the tea, the void seemed to tremble.
The moment Yu Renhai's expression changed in shock, the whole room seemed to be filled with frost, and a hand pressed on his shoulder.
"Be honest, or I'll beat you to death."
Yu Renhai's eyebrows were covered with frost, and his lips were trembling... He didn't know whether it was because of the cold or because he was scared.
So much so that the tea was rippling.
But almost instantly, even the tea turned into a piece of ice.
Pei Jinye sat opposite Yu Renhai.
Yu Renhai remained motionless and kept drinking tea, but his eyes were raised, almost falling out of their sockets in shock.
There was already a storm in my heart.
It's been a while since he met Pei Jinye. How come this person's strength...
Became so strong! ! !
Could it be that……
He actually hid his clumsiness last time! ! !
Yu Renhai's expression changed from shock, to astonishment, to horror, and then to sudden realization at this moment.
Until now.
He finally understood Pei Jinye's chuckle when he heard him mention Liyue Sword Sect.
Thank you for being so awesome! ! !
But everything in front of me.
Yu Renhai's voice was already trembling: "You...are a magician?"
Pei Jinye sat in front of him.
"Magician?"
He chuckled again.
This sound made Yu Renhai's heart stop beating.
He didn't know why, but he now felt an inexplicable fear of Pei Jinye's smile.
However, he never thought that Pei Jinye was the most mysterious magician in the world.
But why are there rumors that he is a swordsman?
I don’t understand... I don’t understand this time! ! !
At the moment, Pei Jinye ignored the ups and downs in his heart.
Take out a coin from your hand.
"Make a bet."
"Senior, what do you want to bet on?" Yu Renhai's face was filled with frost, and his voice was trembling from the cold.
"I'll bet your life on it."
Pei Jinye looked at him.
The surrounding space was instantly blocked.
Yu Renhai's face was full of shock.
For a moment he didn't even know what to say.
"You live on the front, but on the back"
"you die."
As Pei Jinye's voice sounded, Yu Renhai's eyes fell on the coins thrown in the air.
It was a coin he had never seen before.
But he couldn't care about that at the moment.
His eyes followed the coin and finally landed on Pei Jinye's palm.
"Unfortunately, it's the front."
The moment Yu Renhai heard this, his hanging heart suddenly dropped, and he breathed a sigh of relief like a big breath.
Unexpectedly, Pei Jinye said again.
"Then let's make a second bet."
"Still... still gambling?" Yu Renhai stammered.
Pei Jinye ignored him and continued: "This time, it's a different situation. You die from the front, and you surrender to me from the back."
Yu Renhai's expression suddenly changed.
I cursed my father and mother in my heart.
He quickly said: "I accept it! I accept it!"
"I'm a very principled person, let's look at the gambling situation first," Pei Jinye said seriously.
Yu Renhai's eyes once again followed the flying coins rising...and falling.
"Too bad, the back."
As Pei Jinye said something.
The surrounding frost disintegrated.
Yu Renhai finally regained his freedom.
The air was stagnant for a moment.
He knelt down on one knee towards Pei Jinye and said, "I, Yu Renhai... am willing to accept senior as my master."
"Are you willing?" Pei Jinye looked over.
Yu Renhai smiled bitterly and said: "If I had known that my senior had such means, why would I have been embarrassing the Sima family all the time? I am convinced in front of you... But my senior doesn't know something. People from the Liyue Sword Sect will arrive tomorrow." .”
"Come just come." Pei Jinye said nonchalantly.
At this time.
Suddenly there was a shocking explosion throughout the south.
A fire shot into the sky.
Pei Jinye frowned slightly.
