Chapter 16: Ye Xiu

"Hello young man, my name is Ye Xiu, may I know your name?" Ye Xiu approached Cao Fenguan and spoke to him in a formal tone.

"Hey uncle, my name is Cao Fenguan," he replied.

Ye Xiu didn't mind the other party's nickname and continued to get to know this young man.

"Are you from Glory City?" he asked.

"Yes, I'm from an aristocratic family, the Cao family. I was expelled from the family with nothing except this store, which belonged to my parents. So I have no choice but to start my own business," Cao Fenguan knew where the conversation was going, so he reassured him by saying that he was born in the City.

Ye Xiu was shocked for a while.

This boy was expelled by his family, who would be foolish enough to expel someone with a lost elixir recipe?

He wondered if the Patriarch was out of his mind.

"I understand, I'm sorry about that, although you seem happier than sad. I'm from the Snow Wind Family, in charge of the City. If you need any help in your business, you can contact me through Chen Linjian," Ye Xiu said.

Cao Fenguan thought for a moment and spoke.

"As it happens, I need some manpower. Now that my store has become so popular, I need strong people who can maintain order in the place. I don't want this to become a nuisance."

Upon hearing the other party's request, Ye Xiu's old face turned red with excitement.

"You don't have to worry about that, I'll bring personnel at your disposal tomorrow. As a member of the family that maintains order in this City, I cannot ignore a young entrepreneur," Ye Xiu spoke brazenly.

"Thank you very much, uncle," Cao Fenguan thanked him rudely.

"Well, if there's nothing else, see you tomorrow, uncle. I'm a little tired," he said goodbye.

"Okay, rest well, we'll talk better tomorrow. I'll bring my niece, she's young and still in the academy, she'll be happy to know about your store," Ye Xiu decided to surprise Ye Ziyun, his dear niece, knowing her deep desire to strengthen herself and gain her father's recognition.

This place would be heaven for her.

"Then I'll give her a warm welcome to my store. Goodbye, uncle," Cao Fenguan hurried inside, not wanting to face an angry Yang Xin approaching in the distance.

"Wait there, little brother," she shouted from a distance, but Cao Fenguan acted as if he hadn't heard her.

Now in his mind, he was only thinking about grabbing today's earnings and going to bed.

Yang Xin wanted to chase after him inside, but Ye Xiu stopped her.

"Vice President Yang, the young man is a little tired. I'm sorry if you made the trip on purpose, but I would recommend letting him rest. He's a good kid, and you'll have time to meet him tomorrow," Ye Xiu tried to make this unreasonable woman understand.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Xin decided to listen to the other party.

A rude laugh was felt not far away in the distance.

"Hahaha, Mr. Ye Xiu, look, my Lanrou is already in the Silver rank. She's only 14 years old and can already integrate with her first Spiritual Demon," Huyan Xiong boasted about his daughter in front of Ye Xiu.

Under her father's insistence, Huyan Lanruo had no choice but to drink the three bottles of Coca-Cola and ascended to the Silver rank without much difficulty.

Ye Xiu was happy for Huyan Lanruo, knowing that she was a talented young woman. He thanked Cao Fenguan again in his heart for sharing this product with all of Glory City.

"I hope the Dark Guild doesn't take action too soon. It's better to tell Ye Zhong about this, so he'll put the boy's protection as his top priority," he thought in his mind.

The Dark Guild is a group of bandits who live by kidnapping Nobles from Glory City. No one knows where this vicious group comes from or where they hide, so they haven't been able to take action against them.

Huyan Xiong didn't waste any more time, bid farewell to Ye Xiu, and turned to Lanruo with an affectionate look.

"Let's go, Lanruo. Your mother will be very happy to see your progress," he dragged a bewildered Lanruo.

Ye Xiu also bid farewell to a furious Yang Xin and ran towards the Snow Wind Mansion.

"Let's go, we'll come back tomorrow," Yang Xin also left.

On the side of the street, Shen Ming of the Sacred Family was standing with his servant, still shocked by everything he had just seen.

"A store that will be of great interest to the Dark Guild, perhaps we can share a bite with our Sacred Family. Even if it receives Ye Zhong's protection, knowing his character, he won't fight to the death for a stranger," Elder Shen Ming thought in his mind.

"Let's go, I have to inform the Patriarch," he said a little hurriedly.

"Yes, sir," the servant gave a last look of pity to the small store and quickly followed the Elder.

...

"Nie Li, is this the store?" The Nie family arrived late to the scene, so they missed the best part.

Nie Li cursed his father for making him leave the Academy, something that was extremely forbidden.

"Seeing all those people setting up camps as if they were in a hunting contest, the owner must have closed because they don't follow his example and wake up early," Nie Li looked at his father with a mocking expression.

Nie Ming, seeing all these spiritists, realized that everything his son had told him was true.

"Nie Kai, let's go back and inform the Patriarch. We can bring many young people to the Capital. We shouldn't miss this opportunity," Nie Ming spoke to his brother.

"Yes, I agree. I had planned to let Miao Ling give it a try, but we arrived a little late. On second thought, it's better not to waste any more time and inform the Patriarch. He will reward us handsomely," Nie Kai liked his brother's idea.

"Then let's do it that way." Nie Ming turned to his son.

"You little bastard, go back honestly to the Academy. We'll come back to inform the Family. Here, take these 10,000 coins. It's all our savings for the year. It's better that you're not lazy like that friend of yours, and come every day to buy Coca-Cola. When we return with the Patriarch, I want to see you at least at the Bronze 5-star rank," Nie Kai was very demanding with his son.

He had always been like that, besides being an excellent father who taught his son the values of life perfectly.

In the novel, one can see the affection, love, and above all, the respect that Nie Li has for his father.

"Don't worry, old man. I'll give you a surprise when you come back. Bring the cousins too. Our family can't miss this opportunity to become strong," the little Nie Li reassured his father.

He wasn't lying. He and his friends had agreed to come every day after classes ended. Their competitive spirit didn't allow them to be lazy with such an opportunity in front of them.
