The female cultivator walking towards her was tall, about a head taller than Yi Wen.
She didn't look at others, and she didn't pay much attention to Yi Wen and others when they passed by. Just when her eyes touched the female cultivator's face, Yi Wen suddenly felt a sense of fear from the bottom of her heart, which made her stop and turn around to see the female cultivator walking alone into the hall.
Yi Wen couldn't tell what this person's cultivation level was, so she knew that the other person's realm must be higher than hers. However, this kind of intimidation was something that Bai Xiaoran had not been able to bring to her before.
Bai Xiaoran became famous at a young age, and the teacher he worshiped was highly respected even within the Yuecang Sect. Therefore, in the eyes of Yuecang's disciples, Bai Xiaoran's temperament is quite arrogant and arrogant. It is common for his subordinates to be scolded for their incompetence in doing things. Even Yi Wen, who has been with Bai Xiaoran for many years, is usually deeply afraid of her, for fear of offending him.
However, this fear is different from the current fear.
The female cultivator who passed by her had a temperament as cold as frost and snow on the mountain tops, but the expression on her face made people feel that this person was as calm as a still lake.
While she was thinking about it, she heard the female cultivator speak. It was just as she thought in her heart, a cold and low voice. She said:
"Who is in charge of this store? I have something to do with him."
The tone was neither respectful nor polite.
When the words fell, the other party seemed to have taken something and looked at it strangely. Yi Wen couldn't see it clearly. She only felt a golden light appear in front of her, and then she couldn't see anything at all.
The civet cat spirit twisted its body and quickly transformed into a half-grown boy. This time, the expression on his face was not at all the same as the one Yi Wen had seen before. Instead, he half-bowed cautiously and made a mocking gesture. With a flattering look, he said with a flattering smile: "Back to the Master, the shopkeeper here is named Yue Ya. He is currently counting the accounts in the inner hall. The young one will lead the way for the Master."
The female cultivator said nothing, only nodded in response, and signaled to the young man to lead her to find someone.
Yi Wen was naturally surprised when she saw this, and she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed and unfair because of the difference in treatment between the two. She was the only one who was afraid, but she didn't dare to step forward and stop the two of them, asking the civet cat spirit why he refused to show respect to his master, but instead greeted the female cultivator with a smile.
She was doubtful and annoyed, thinking that she might be punished by Bai Xiaoran if she failed to get Shuangye Hanxiao back, so she secretly wrote down the incident about this female cultivator, and wanted to go back and report it to Bai Xiaoran. Adding fuel to the fire, but at least let the Master know that what happened today was not her fault.
Yi Wen turned around and walked to Bai Xiaoran's mansion. Here, Zhao Shun also followed the civet cat spirit into the inner hall.
With her eyesight, she could see the details of the strange creature in front of her when they met. This civet cat has white eyebrows and whiskers, a round body, and a long fluffy tail with a light golden color at the end. It should be a gold-stealing civet that is good at sniffing out treasures and hunting for traces. The bloodline of this clan is nothing special, just ordinary spirits. Because they like gold, iron and jade, the more precious the better, they have developed a skill of stealing and have a very bad reputation among the monks.
However, the gold-stealing raccoon in front of her can be said to be round and round, with smooth skin. If you look closely, it actually has a mysterious cultivation level, and you will know that the shopkeeper here also cares for it.
When Zhao Shun stepped into the inner courtyard, Yue Ya was still taking a nap under the pavilion. Different from the accounts counted by the golden raccoon thief, there was only a pot of rice wine and two plates of side dishes placed on the low table in his hand.
Yue Ya's eyes were half-squinted, but his consciousness was very sharp. When this man and a demon entered the inner courtyard, he realized that there was more than one gold-thief raccoon coming in. The other person's aura is pure and pure, definitely not a monster. Looking at his aura, his cultivation level is definitely not lower than his own. It is even said that among the Zhenying monks Yue Ya has seen, there is no one stronger than this person. .
He jumped up from the reclining chair, just as a man and a demon were walking towards the small pavilion.
Before entering the pavilion, the female cultivator suddenly stopped, tilted her head and whispered a few words to the half-grown boy next to her. Then she handed him a small porcelain vase. After the boy took it, his expression was visibly excited. I have received so much, I just wish I could kowtow and say thank you. After that, he stood outside the pavilion and walked into the pavilion without the female cultivator.
Yue Ya carefully studied the female cultivator's appearance and felt confident. He did not stand in the pavilion. He even raised his feet to greet her. He cupped his hands and made a long bow and said: "Yue Ya, the manager of the Sword City, see you." Pass the palace master."
"You ever met me?"
Zhao Xuan raised his hand briefly and helped up Zhen Yingxu in front of him. While she asked, she motioned for Yue Ya to follow her forward.
"When we work for the palace lord, we must memorize the palace lord's appearance." Yue Ya replied in a low voice. Because he was in a hurry to greet him, he did not have time to put away the things in the pavilion. At the moment, the food and wine were all gone. Now, it is inevitable to blush a little.
Fortunately, Zhao Shun didn't care about this. She chose a place to sit down at will, and told Yue Ya not to be formal. When they sat opposite each other in the pavilion, she saw her look serious and asked: "So now in Fengde Zhai, Are you in charge?"
"That's not the case," Yue Ya shook his head and explained, "My subordinates are only in charge of the business in one part of Zhongjian City. They are considered to be in charge of separate affairs. The big shopkeeper above is the person in charge, and we are just Do what you're told.
"However, the big shopkeeper has very little free time and cannot take care of every business of Fengde Zhai. Therefore, most of the decisions within the branch hall are made by the stewards. The accounts in Beidi are submitted once a year for the big shopkeeper to check. For those of us in the Southland, we can pay once every three years."
The big shopkeeper he mentioned should be Shen Qingkou himself.
Zhao Chun had always known that Feng De Zhai was like a vine in Shen Qingkou's hands, spreading many branches across the vast land, but only when he saw Yue Ya today did he finally have some real feelings about it. She had already heard about this before entering Fengde Zhai in the City of Swords. She knew that this was the largest shop in the city, selling everything from elixirs and minerals to elixirs and talismans.
Coincidentally, it was Feng De Zhai who entered the business more than a hundred years ago and Yue Ya who came here on the orders that brought the Wu family's Shanxing Hall to its present state.
According to Yue Ya, the outside world must have vaguely known that the person Feng De Zhai relies on behind his back is a disciple with a very good background in the Zhaoyan sect, so Feng De Zhai's expansion can be so smooth, but Even so, the obstacles encountered in the process cannot be said to be small, so it should be Shen Qingkou's contribution to strategizing.
On the road of spiritual practice, both Dharma and wealth are indispensable. There are few disciples in the sect who are short of money, because they never lack various properties under their hands. Even if they don't manage it themselves, there will always be people willing to surrender, so they have a lot of money and always have plenty of money. (End of chapter)
