Wang Ming did not say anything, but Gao Xian's attitude had completely changed.
One can only say that, being of the surname Gao, to have been able to cause trouble in Qingxi Fang for years without being caught, shows a keen eye for opportunities.
Previously, Wang's cards in his eyes were just like that, there were plenty of vassals of the Hongdeng Liao.
But the situation has changed now. Wang had always leaned on Xuanzhen Zhenren, and behind them, they were actually affiliated with Meng Xiangzushi of Hongdeng Liao.
Master Meng Xiang has already begun to prepare for the proofing of the Golden Elixir!
Gao Xian naturally does not know whether Master Meng can successfully break through, but if he does......
At that time, Wang's status would naturally rise along with the water, instantaneously becoming much higher than before, almost as high as several floors of buildings.
Gao Xian, relying on the protection of the stationed cultivators, could still put on a show within Qingxi Lane.
But in the power struggle within Hongdeng Liao, he is nothing, no, he doesn't even qualify to be called a fart.
And his marriage to a concubine and collection of celebration money are essentially an annual process, acting as a 'legal' way for the stationed cultivators to collect spiritual stones.
This is similar to the "Ice Respect" and "Charcoal Respect"; in reality, there are no strict restrictions or rules.
Considering that when the Bai Ba Ge was established, his concubine acquisition for this year has already ended.
In such vague rules, whether Bai Ba Ge is submitted or not has become an indeterminate matter.
Today, as he stepped into the Bai Bao Ge, seeing Yu Lou in the great hall, he immediately started to act grandly and pose, just wanting to get an extra sum of spiritual stones without having to give them to the stationed cultivators.
It's just bullying children.
But realizing that Wang's status may rise with the water, he was not too willing to take risks.
That's why Gao Xian gave up so readily and promptly.
Just to give Wang some face, no, Wang doesn't have such a big face.
I am giving face to Meng Xiangzushi today, tolerating the Bai Ba Ge's hand!
Meng Xiang: Little Gao, you look spirited. Stand in front of me and give it a try.
"Oh, respected Gao Xian friend, it's been a long time since I've heard your name~"
Wang Rongsheng smiled and greeted Gao Xian.
"Haha, No need to admire, no need to admire. I'll take my leave first since there's nothing much for me here. Your Bai Bao Ge is quite nice, very nice indeed."
After giving Wang Rongsheng a few casual glances, Gao Xian was about to leave.
That's just a waste of spiritual stone to maintain his life force.
"Ah, Gao Xian friend, I heard from Yu An that you just took a new concubine a few days ago. Come on, here's the gift money from our Bai Bao Ge for you."
Wang Rongsheng called out to Gao Xian and pulled out a packet of spiritual stones wrapped in paper from his bosom, handing it to the low-status creature with the surname Gao.
He spoke very politely and gave a lot of face, as the director of Qingxi Lane of Wang family, Uncle Rongsheng must handle the relationship with the public order squad.
With the spiritual stones offered so generously, Gao Xian naturally wouldn't refuse.
"This, Wang Dao friend, you are being too generous, too generous. I don't know how to accept it."
Saying this, Gao Xian snatched the spiritual stones from Wang Rongsheng's hand and directly stuffed them into his storage bag.
"Just this once, no more next time!" the captain of the Qingxi Lane public order maintenance team said.
After saying that, he asked unconsciously.
"Oh, Wang Dao friend, I still don't know your name."
This creature is as low-status as it can get, and that's saying something. He looks down on Wang Rongsheng, who is only a spiritual cultivator at the early stage of cultivation, so he doesn't intend to recognize him. That's why he only asked for his name now.
Gao Xian can be polite to Wang Rongyuan, Wang Rongwen, and Wang Yulou because the former two have high cultivation bases, and Yulou has great potential.
Wang Rongsheng is old and weak, and he has no regard for him at all.
"Wang Rongsheng of the Wang family, if there are any problems with the several stores of Qingxi Lane in the future, you can directly find me."
Hearing this, Gao Xian gave Wang Rongsheng a few more careful glances, and this time he actually saw something interesting.
Wang Rongsheng is handsome in appearance, but it's obvious that he is already old, and his cultivation level is not high either. He should be someone sent to Qingxi Lane by the Wang family to retire.
"Alright, then let's be friends for a long time."
"Hahaha, Gao Dao friend, you're indeed witty."
After a few rounds of polite conversation, the highly satisfied Gao Xian finally left with his people, and the business of Bai Bao Ge could continue.
After seeing the surname Gao walk away, Wang Rongsheng put on a serious face, shook his head, and spoke to the two youths with a lot of weight on his words.
"When you are looked down upon by others in the future, do not feel discontent or resentment. Their disdain is actually an opportunity for us."
"You see, our Lianxi Yi method is a very powerful secret transmitted technique. Ordinary cultivators who want to learn how to collect spiritual stones can't even learn it!"
Seeing that both Yu Lou and Yu An had understood, he deliberately looked at Yu Lou.
"How has business been today?"
"After a few days of propaganda, more cultivators have learned about Bai Bao Ge, the 'Nine-Fold and Three' group activity was very successful, but the limited time auction wasn't very good."
"I was thinking that maybe the auction time was too long, customers didn't want to bid in advance, and all wanted to see if there would be any chance to snatch a deal at the end."
Wang Rongsheng looked towards the auction platform on the right side of the great hall, where there were three items placed on five platforms.
Two of the items were provided by the Wang family, and one was brought by a customer, all with very low bids.
"Your business talent is already very good, Yu Lou. If these two strategies can work together, don't worry, if they don't work out, we'll take our time."
I will continue to cultivate, and you remember to teach the staff your insights. Your main task over the next few years is still to practice and refine your cultivation path; you can't always be stuck in Bai Bao Ge.
Yu Lou bowed in agreement, Uncle Rongsheng is right, but what he is thinking now is that Hongmei needs some time to adjust her mental state.
The Wang family's revenge on him this time was too fierce. Although Hongmei had a desire to kill Yu Lou and Yu An, it was justified to seek revenge, but Wang Xianmao directly seized Hongmei's hard-earned foundation-strengthening supplies.
About this matter, Hongmei needs to calm down and think carefully.
After Uncle Rongsheng left, Yu An looked at Yu Lou.
"Brother, shouldn't we go and see Master?"
Yu Lou remained silent for a long time before saying.
"Wait for him to think it through and come to us on his own accord."
As soon as Yu Lou and Yu An were talking, Zhong Ningyao peeked out of the Bai Bao Ge gate, looking around cautiously.
"Ningyao Sister!"
Yu An, seeing the goddess, happily exclaimed.
But thinking of the awkward relationship between him and Hongmei, he could only stand there, at a loss for what to do.
"Sister, come in quickly and take a look at our Wang family's new Bai Bao Ge."
You have lived in Huafeng Jiu for so many years, and your Master has done very well with his business. Under such influence, you must be very familiar with the ways of running a business.
Come on, take a look, and give us some advice." Yu Lou was composed and inviting, even extending an invitation for Zhong Ningyao to come in.
Looking at the seemingly ordinary brother, Yu An felt a bit heavy-hearted.
The world of cultivators is so cruel, yet my brother can easily adapt and handle all kinds of things.
I shall strive to catch up and not fall too far behind!
Only in this way, can we walk together for a longer distance and a farther distance.
In reality, Yu Lou has not truly adapted. He does not like this cruel system akin to a cage.
But in order to change the reality, one must first accept it, at least part of it. Only then can one gradually find the direction for change.
The turbulent sea is in upheaval, and it is like rowing upstream.
The yearning for immortality, the responsibility of being a descendant of the Wang family, and the pressure to transform the family in the future are all pushing Yu Lou to quickly adapt to the harsh reality.
Being weak and not participating from the beginning means losing the possibility of success.
Only by personally entering the game, can one have the chance to win against heaven.
"I don't understand the ways of business, but why haven't you two come to Huafeng Jiu for the past two days?"
"Father has also become strange, as if he forgot that he has two disciples."
