"Did Master co to give so instructions?"
Qin Ke, knowing his character well, asked.
"We’ll talk after you achieve your breakthrough."
After all, waiting a bit more after such a long ti isn’t a big issue.
"No need, just instruct if there’s anything, and Qing Lian can handle it too."
Although her skills were average, she excelled in other areas.
"The Azure Star River Pill needs to be refined. I’m here to check on the collection of rare ingredients and if there’s any news about the Wing-Spiral Dragon Beast!"
"The required rare ingredients are almost gathered."
"So have been placed in the Prince Xuan’s Mansion, so are in the Ten Thousand People Mountain Range, and others are with the Divine Walk Trading Company. But about the Wing-Spiral Dragon Beast, there’s no news at all."
Chen Xuan’s instructions were always his top priority.
This task had been ongoing, but there really was no news about the Wing-Spiral Dragon Beast.
"None?"
Chen Xuan furrowed his brows slightly, "Did you ask the Dark Moon?"
"Disciple went to Jiang Qi to ask, but he also seems unsure."
"Seems?"
Chen Xuan looked at him with so doubt.
"Yes, sothing seems off, but disciple can’t quite grasp it."
After all, he didn’t possess Chen Xuan’s telepathy, and people like Jiang Qi generally don’t show any flaws, he just had a slight feeling, uncertain.
"Understood, I’ll go personally."
"Disciple feels ashad!"
Qin Ke looked guilty, it pained him a bit that Master had to go personally for such matters.
"Alright, you’ve done very well already."
Chen Xuan patted his shoulder in reassurance, "Focus on preparing for your breakthrough, let Qing Lian handle the rest for now if needed."
"Before the Burial Ground opens, concentrate on cultivation. At that ti, I’ll help you seize a high-tier rule."
"I’ll find a way for your Divine Soul too."
With his current strength, coupled with Qin Ying, capturing a high-tier rule would be a breeze.
This confidence cos with strength.
If able to achieve complete Divine Bone, his strength could ascend to another level.
The only troubleso part is the Divine Soul.
Qin Ke’s Divine Soul is too weak, even if given a high-tier rule, he might not be able to comprehend it.
If rejection occurs, it could be dangerous.
"Thank you, Master."
Tears welled up in Qin Ke’s eyes in an instant, Chen Xuan had thought everything through for him.
How could he not be moved?
"Alright, being an adult and still shedding tears, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?"
Chen Xuan laughed, knocking lightly on his head, "Alright, I’m leaving now, focus on your cultivation."
With that, he stepped into the air and left the pavilion.
"Master...."
Qin Ke gazed at his figure, his voice choked slightly.
"Hoo—"
Exhaled a long breath, calming his heart, "Disciple won’t disappoint Master."
...
On the streets of Moran City.
Dark Moon!
Chen Xuan looked slightly upward at those two words and the familiar emblem.
"Hope you aren’t deceiving ."
He murmured, then walked towards the main entrance.
Jiang Qi was lying on the recliner as usual, but this ti he didn’t appear as leisurely as before, with a worried expression.
Ever since a Divine Walk Trading Company suddenly erged in the Molan Mansion, and like a madman, nearly seized half of Dark Moon’s business in a short ti.
For this reason, he was harshly reprimanded by the Elder Council of Dark Moon.
If it weren’t for his grandfather Jiang Yudao’s influence in the Elder Council, the last ti wouldn’t have been a re scolding.
He certainly wouldn’t hold the Steward position at Molan Mansion.
But even with Jiang Yudao’s presence, the Elder Council has given him an ultimatum to suppress this Divine Walk Trading Company within a year, at any cost.
And Dark Moon will fully support this.
But even with such backing, the situation remains bleak.
"Who’s really behind this Divine Walk Trading Company?"
"It’s downright frenzied, are they in business not to make money?"
Jiang Qi was filled with resentnt.
He sent people to the Divine Walk Trading Company, had calculations made of what they sold—almost not profit-making, and so were even sold at a loss.
What’s the point of doing business this way? Just to ruin Dark Moon?
Laughable!
With Dark Moon’s accumulation over decades, can a small trading company suppress it?
But he didn’t know that this was all Qing Lian’s idea; Divine Walk Trading Company wasn’t there to earn, just to seize Dark Moon Trading Company’s share in the Molan Mansion.
The ultimate aim was to drive Dark Moon out of Molan Mansion.
Of course, Qing Lian knew this wouldn’t be easy, but Qin Ke also supported her actions, and secretly used the Three Judicial Departnts to assist her, so even a centuries-old Dark Moon Trading Company had half its share snatched in such a short period.
But ever since Dark Moon Headquarters gave Jiang Qi substantial support, so shares were regained.
"Burns money too quickly."
Jiang Qi felt a pang of heartache because the expenses counted against him.
They’ll need to be replenished annually.
Otherwise, how could the old folks agree so straightforwardly? This still was gained by Jiang Yudao’s pulling strings.
"Da da da..."
Just then, a series of soft footsteps ca from outside.
Feeling irritated, Jiang Qi grabbed the book on the table beside him to cover his face and then shouted loudly, "Xiao Yue, there’s a guest!"
Upon hearing this, a girl in a pink dress hurried out from inside, quickly arriving before Chen Xuan, with a smile on her face, "What can I assist you with, sir?"
"Geez, why doesn’t Young Master hire more people?"
Xiao Yue complained inside.
Laundry, cooking, cleaning, and other chores were all her responsibility.
She had just been preparing food for Jiang Qi.
"So stingy! Not at all like a young master of a great family."
Chen Xuan waved to her, signaling her not to speak, then walked over to Jiang Qi’s side.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Jiang Qi raised an eyebrow at the sound, "Xiao Yue, you..."
"I’m here to see you!"
