Dao Companions Help Me Live Forever

Chapter 103: Rules, It's All About the Rules! (55 Seeking First Subscription!)

After a quarter of an hour.

Yu Xian swaggered out of the Baiyi Pavilion with eight hundred spirit stones for selling magical artifacts, then quietly disappeared into the crowd.

However, soon after, two cultivators with deep auras followed him out.

About half an hour later, the two returned cursing and grumbling, obviously having lost their target.

And all of this was observed by Yu Xian from a teahouse not far away.

The teahouse was called the Moon True Teahouse, opened by a female cultivation sect called the Moon True Sect, with the main specialty being the Lingcha Moon Bud Tea.

A small pot of tea cost one spirit stone, which ordinary wandering cultivators couldn't afford at all.

But Yu Xian was more fond of the tea artisans in the teahouse.

All of them were female cultivators, although their cultivation levels were not high, only at the Qi Refining first or second level.

But as long as you ordered a pot of Moon Bud Tea, the skillful and elegant young girls would perform the tea art for you.

Even the waitresses in the teahouse were tall and beautiful women.

It could only be said that the boss understood the concept of consumerism.

Unfortunately, the purchasing power here greatly underestimated them. If they could open a teahouse in Shangyang City, business would definitely thrive.

"Guest, please have some tea."

The tea artisan sitting across from Yu Xian was a slightly chubby girl with ear-length short hair, and her appearance was quite beautiful.

Yu Xian sniffed the tea before drinking it.

The tea was warm, but there was a hint of coolness in the mouth. As he savored it carefully, only a faint tea fragrance remained in his mouth.

It was like a flower bud quietly blooming under the moonlight, emitting a subtle fragrance.

In addition, his own mana received a very weak nurturing, but the effect was too weak. If he hadn't carefully sensed it, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

"Not bad."

Yu Xian casually commented and put down the teacup.

The girl smiled sweetly at Yu Xian and was about to leave.

"Guest, please enjoy."

"Wait, bring four more pots of Moon Bud Tea. I have a few friends coming, and each of them wants a pot."

The girl was taken aback, then immediately smiled happily.

"Alright, please wait, guest."

Five pots of tea at once would cost five spirit stones, which was a rare big deal for her.

Outside the teahouse.

Zhao Shiwen was walking ahead with a displeased expression, followed by three family elders with worried faces.

One of the female family elders was still talking to Zhao Shiwen.

At this moment, they all suddenly paused, as if they had heard something, and then looked up to see Yu Xian raising his cup to toast them.

...

Inside the teahouse.

The girl had already set up the tea set and was waiting for the guests to arrive.

"The tea here is quite good. You all seem restless, why not calm your minds with tea?"

Yu Xian nodded to the girl.

"Lingling, you may begin."

Through a simple exchange, he had already learned the tea artisan girl's name.

Of course, the main reason was his boldness in throwing five spirit stones.

Soon, the girl began her smooth and flowing tea art performance.

Although the later guests were not in the mood to watch, the girl still performed seriously time after time, which could be considered worth the tea money.

After the four of them had finished drinking the tea, their emotions indeed stabilized a lot.

Yu Xian lightly tapped the table a few times and suddenly spoke up.

"It seems that your trip didn't go smoothly, Shiwen, what happened?"

Hearing Yu Xian's gentle voice, Zhao Shiwen finally couldn't hold back her emotions and her eyes turned red as she said.

"They simply don't acknowledge me as the new head, and they even said that I..."

Zhao Shiwen glared at the female family elder and continued.

"...they even said that I'm just a whore who sleeps around, a money-losing commodity from the Zhao family, and they have nothing to do with me."

The air suddenly became still, as if you could hear a pin drop.

Yu Xian smiled at the three family elders and his face showed a hint of coldness.

"Elders, is this also your intention?"

"No! Absolutely not!"

The three of them quickly shook their heads. At this moment, the seventy or eighty-year-old elders were no different from guilty children, closing their legs and sitting up straight.

"We have already scolded him severely, and next time no one will dare to speak to Shiwen like that. You can rest assured, Lord Guest."

"Kill him."

Yu Xian took a sip of tea and casually said.

The three of them were immediately shocked, especially the female elder whose face showed fear.

"Lord Yu, he is just a child. Please don't bother with him. I will apologize to Master Shiwen on his behalf and apologize to you, Lord Yu."

Yu Xian asked, "What is his relationship with you?"

"He... he is my own grandson."

The female elder stammered.

"Then you should personally do it, bring his head here. I'll give you the time it takes to burn an incense stick, so he can leave some last words, fulfilling your family bond."

Yu Xian maintained a casual attitude, but his words sent chills down one's spine.

"Lord Yu, it doesn't have to come to this. He really is just a child."

The female elder's eyes turned red, and tears fell uncontrollably.

"Please spare him this time. I promise that he will never appear in front of Master Shiwen again, and he will never utter a word."

"Either he dies, or you all die together."

Yu Xian reached into his pocket and took out the letter from Zhao Laozu.

The eight characters on it, "Death is not a pity, act cheaply," seemed to have gained a touch of blood at this moment.

Seeing this, the female elder had no choice but to stand up and walk out in a daze.

"Two elders, do you think I am cruel?"

Yu Xian raised his teacup.

The two quickly raised their cups in return and shook their heads, denying, "No, no, Lord Yu is enforcing the law strictly for the good of the Zhao family."

"It's enough that you can understand my intentions. Severe illnesses require severe treatment. Originally, I didn't want to interfere with your management, but the Zhao family's business in the market is now partly mine.

There are some things I still have to say. You have been too indulgent with your own people."

Yu Xian pointed to the Baiyi Pavilion outside the teahouse.

"For example, this Baiyi Pavilion, it has become a representative industry of the Zhao family. Yet, they are still engaging in collusion, robbery, and murder for money."

"How can this kind of business last? Do you really think you can deceive everyone?"

"The business in the market is so bad now because of these evil practices. When even the people of the market don't follow the rules, how can others dare to do business and consume in the market?

So, starting from today, regardless of the past, everyone must do three things.

That is, follow the rules, follow the rules, and follow the damn rules!"

"Otherwise..."

"Two elders, I'll kill you first."

In the eyes of the two elders, Yu Xian's smile was like that of a devil.

They cried with mournful faces, "Lord Yu, they are the ones who don't follow the rules. How can you blame us? We are innocent."

"Then replace them with people who follow the rules."

Yu Xian's face turned completely cold, and his voice carried a hint of killing intent.

"I have put in so much effort, not to become a nanny for the Zhao family, but to earn spiritual stones.

Whoever makes it difficult for business in the market, I will kill them!"

"Also, remember to cooperate well with Shiwen. She is my woman. If she is wronged, it's like slapping me in the face, and the consequences will be severe."

Yu Xian turned his head and looked at Zhao Shiwen, who was already stunned. His face softened, and he smiled gently.

"Shiwen, do you have the confidence to do well?"

Zhao Shiwen glanced at the two elders who were silent like cicadas in winter and suddenly felt no longer aggrieved or nervous.

That's right, she had a powerful backing. It was they who should be afraid.

She nodded heavily and said again,

"I will definitely not let Master down."

Just then,

The female elder, covered in blood, walked into the teahouse, holding a box and walking unsteadily.

She looked up at Yu Xian upstairs, closed her eyes in pain, and said,

"Lord Yu, I have brought my grandson's head!"

Yu Xian looked at the female elder for a while, then turned his body, leaving only his back.

"Bury it."

The box was empty.

No wonder that person dared to insult Zhao Shiwen to her face.

With parents who were willing to sacrifice even their lives, what was there for him to fear?

But an empty box was better than one with a head.

Yu Xian looked at the two elders who were currying favor with Zhao Shiwen and the female elder who would forever live in the shadow.

The situation in the market had been decided.

He couldn't help but shake his head. He knew he couldn't resist, yet he instinctively wanted to make some small moves. Human nature was truly complex and difficult to understand.
