Chapter 70: Grand Sale

"This..." Gu Yao suspiciously glanced at Jiang Yan. Could it be that he knew everything they were doing behind the scenes?

"Let's not go," the chubby guy quickly shook his head. He didn't want the Moon Demoness to pinch his cheeks again. These people were inconsistent, and he didn't want to willingly walk into trouble.

Tian Feirong gritted his teeth, "Senior Jiang, do you know something?"

Jiang Yan smiled, "You are very clever, from what I know, Miao Yun Ge has announced that the four of you will be protected by them. The Furious Serpent Gang is displeased, and they have challenged Miao Yun Ge to a duel."

Gu Yao was surprised, "When did this happen? Why didn't we know?"

"It happened during the class. The Furious Serpent Gang just delivered the challenge, and Miao Yun Ge has accepted it." Jiang Yan looked at the changing expressions of the three, the only constant being Chi Changye.

Tao Yue could deduce that the pills came from Gu Yao's hands based on his actions, and Jiang Yan had no suspicions. He knew from the start that Gu Yao was an exceptionally talented alchemist. He even suspected that the high-grade Bi Hua Pill circulating in the Ten Directions City was likely connected to Gu Yao.

Gu Yao looked at Chi Changye, who nodded at him. "Let's go and see."

So, they headed towards Miao Yun Ge. Tian Feirong and the chubby guy had no choice but to follow, expressing their frustration, "Isn't the Furious Serpent Gang bullying us too much? If it weren't for Miao Yun Ge taking over this matter, how would they treat us?"

"You don't know?" Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow. "The conditions in the challenge letter state that if Miao Yun Ge loses, then the four of you will be at the mercy of the Furious Serpent Gang."

Gu Yao gritted his teeth, "At their mercy!"

What did they take them for? Furious Serpent Gang? Sooner or later, they would chop that Furious Serpent into pieces and stew it in a soup!

The Miao Yun Ge was bustling with people, almost flattening the door frame. This was because Miao Yun Ge had recently released several trial versions of pills for free. Today marked the official start of sales. The free trial promotion was highly successful, and the efficacy of the pills spread rapidly throughout the entire academy. Most of the female cultivators who came today were here to snatch up their favorite pills as soon as possible.

Several types of pills, and there was bound to be one that fulfilled their desires.

In such a frenzied scene, it made other shops and vendors on this commercial street envious. These women were too crazy, willing to spend spirit stones recklessly for the sake of their appearance. Many male students also joined in, spending spirit stones to purchase various pills to please the female students.

Just at this opportune moment, the Furious Serpent Gang delivered a challenge letter, thinking they had chosen a good time. They didn't need special promotion; defeating the group of women from Miao Yun Ge would spread the word, elevating the reputation of the Furious Serpent Gang and putting Miao Yun Ge beneath their feet.

Unfortunately, they underestimated the vanity of female cultivators. Angry female students nearly tore apart the male student who delivered the challenge. So when Gu Yao and his group arrived, they could still hear others discussing how members of the Furious Serpent Gang managed to sneak away.

Jiang Yan, observing the crowded Miao Yun Ge, sighed, "It seems we arrived late. We can congratulate Junior Sister Tao later."

Tian Feirong and the chubby guy also watched with some envy. If their future shop could have such a bustling situation, that would be great. However, they dared only to imagine. Without strength and support, they could only provide opportunities for others.

There were quite a few onlookers, and Gu Yao and the others listened for a while.

"Who are those four new students that caused such a commotion between the Furious Serpent Gang and Miao Yun Ge?"

"You can tell you haven't been to the commercial street recently. There's now a stall selling pills. Wu Fengzi from the Furious Serpent Gang wanted to pick on the new students, but unexpectedly, it backfired. Now the Furious Serpent Gang holds a grudge against these four, wanting to reclaim their reputation."

"But how did they get involved with Miao Yun Ge? Are these four junior brothers exceptionally handsome, triggering such good fortune?" The male student speaking had a pig-like appearance, deeply envious and admiring of such treatment.

"Haha, maybe the leaders of the Furious Serpent Gang are a bit unsightly, so the sisters at Miao Yun Ge can't stand them. Haha..."

Jiang Yan chuckled, and Gu Yao, Tian Feirong, and the chubby guy exchanged glances before looking at Chi Changye. Among the four, Chi Changye was probably the one who met the standards—handsome features and a noble demeanor. However, due to his servant status, some female students expressed regretful looks towards him.

Before long, Miao Yun Ge stirred again. They listened attentively and learned that the newly launched pills like the Whitening Pill and Fragrance Pill were already sold out. Those who bought them were ecstatic, while those who missed out either questioned or inquired when the next batch would be available. Eventually, Tao Yue and Du Lingdai emerged, and the angry female students, who were just upset moments ago, quieted down when they saw Du Lingdai swinging a fiery red whip.

"Sisters, I apologize sincerely. These newly developed pills from Miao Yun Ge have complex production processes, and the quantity is limited. Starting tomorrow, we will sell them in limited quantities on a first-come, first-served basis. We ask for your understanding. Miao Yun Ge will do its best to meet your requests."

With no stock left, the disappointed female students left, determined to come back tomorrow. Even though they didn't make a purchase, the desire to buy was ignited. Perhaps some people considered these pills non-essential, but Tao Yue, even if she wore a forced smile, genuinely felt pleased. These pills sold incredibly well, indicating that Miao Yun Ge would need to expand its business.

As the crowd gradually dispersed, some female students remained, selecting other items, and the service staff inside all wore smiles.

Jiang Yan, with Gu Yao and the others, entered at this moment. He greeted Tao Yue from a distance, "Congratulations to Miao Yun Ge for the flourishing business and abundant wealth."

"Oh, it's Senior Jiang and several junior brothers. Miao Yun Ge is just a small place, how dare we compare to the Star-Moon Trading Consortium? Senior Jiang and junior brothers, please come upstairs." Tao Yue instructed the staff below, then led the group upstairs, with Du Lingdai naturally following closely behind, catching the curious eyes of Gu Yao.

Upstairs, there were several senior brothers and sisters who arrived before Jiang Yan. Also invited by Miao Yun Ge, they greeted Jiang Yan and observed Gu Yao and his group with curiosity. Despite not having much fame, the challenge letter from the Furious Serpent Gang had brought them recognition. Many were curious about why Miao Yun Ge chose to intervene for these four individuals.

"Tao Yue, you really have no Whitening Pills left? Won't you keep a few for yourself!" A displeased female student called out.

Tao Yue extended her hand and nodded, "Blame me? How did you respond when I recommended it to you earlier? Should I remind you?"

"Pah! It's all because you didn't tell me the truth. I don't care; in any case, you must keep some for me, or else... I'll snatch Dae-er away!" The female student's eyes quickly shifted, targeting Du Lingdai nearby.

Before Tao Yue could respond, Du Lingdai blushed, displeased, and glared at the female student. This amused onlookers, who found the attempt to undermine Tao Yue and Miao Yun Ge quite entertaining. Trying to flirt with Tao Yue? Go back where you came from.

"Stinky women of Miao Yun Ge, we, the Furious Serpent Gang, are here. Dare you accept the challenge? If you don't, hand over the person, and maybe our leader will spare you after making reparations!" "Exactly, these stinky women of Miao Yun Ge, hiding in their tower, playing with cosmetics. They insist on coming out to compete with us men. Go back to your nests!"

"Haha... women are meant for giving birth, haha..."

As they were joking, shouts erupted downstairs. No need to say, it was the Furious Serpent Gang. Looking down from upstairs, dozens of Furious Serpent Gang members gathered in front of the tower, aggressive and scaring away both inside and outside guests. A new crowd gathered around, eager to witness the excitement.

The senior sister who had eyed Du Lingdai earlier showed a look of disgust and anger, "The Furious Serpent Gang's actions are becoming more and more outrageous. First, they bully new students, and now they provoke Miao Yun Ge and the female students. These bastards are looking for trouble!"

Tao Yue stood by the window, a cold smile on her lips. "Senior sister, why take their words seriously? They're just venting. I think their good days are about to end. Do they really think female students are so easy to insult?"

"Let's go, to the arena!" Du Lingdai's face had already turned dark. After speaking, she stepped onto the constantly swaying fiery red whip, flying out of the window.

"Dae-er is still impulsive. Well, follow her. This time, you must fight well and cripple that Wumeng." "We'll go too," Gu Yao said. Since the incident involved them, how could they be absent? He hadn't expected the Furious Serpent Gang to act so audaciously.

Tao Yue waved her hand, signaling, "Gather the sisters and go to the Martial Hall. We must not weaken the momentum of our Miao Yun Ge!"

"Yes!"

Not long after, two groups marched mightily towards the Martial Hall. A large number of spectators followed, spontaneously cheering for Miao Yun Ge. Some were female students, while others were male students who found the Furious Serpent Gang's words too insulting. The academy had no shortage of powerful senior sisters, and the Furious Serpent Gang was asking for trouble.

On the way, the two groups engaged in a war of words but refrained from physically fighting, avoiding descending to a lower level.

The arena area of the Martial Hall seemed to have received the news early. The arena was already cleared, and enforcers had arrived to maintain order and act as referees.

A tall, dark-faced male student jumped onto the stage first. His muscular arms were visible, even under the tight-fitting uniform.

The Furious Serpent Gang members cheered, "Boss Wu is mighty! The women of Miao Yun Ge should just surrender!" "Pah! The Furious Serpent Gang has no shame. Besides bullying new students, what decent things can you do?"

"Your face is so dark; why not let Miao Yun Ge give you a free Whitening Pill to lighten it up? Haha..."

Just as they were laughing, shouts arose from downstairs. There was no need to say; it was the Furious Serpent Gang arriving. Looking down from upstairs, dozens of Furious Serpent Gang members had gathered in front of the tower, appearing aggressive and scaring away both inside and outside guests.
