The meaning of Zhong Niyao's question seems that Hongmei didn't tell her what happened.
Sacking the Golden Light Pavilion, showing a killing heart to his disciples, trying to give away his daughter, and being controlled by Wang Xianmeng...
Yes, how could Hongmei confess these things to his daughter?
As for his resolute heart, Hongmei is the best example. In order to protect himself, he is willing to give his daughter to the Wang family.
His only miscalculation was that the murderous intent he expressed was caught by Yulou.
Yulou invited Ningyao in and explained at the same time.
"It's us, we've been too busy recently."
Looking at the brand new hundred treasure pavilion, Ningyao nodded thoughtfully.
The Wang family opened a new shop in Qingxi Lane so quickly that Yulou and Yuan'an naturally had to come to help.
"Here, you can buy..."
Just as she wanted to ask what was sold in the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, but when she looked to the left, she was stunned and hard controlled.
Mangxiang Teacher, Xuanzhuan Immortal... For the first time, she realized what kind of existence the Wang family was.
In the past, she got along well with Yulou and Yuan'an, and their relationship was equal. She didn't feel that there was anything different between the two of them and herself.
But now, looking at the dense Longsheng plaques, Zhong Niyao felt a bit uncomfortable in her heart.
Several elder ancestors have bowed under the Red Light Illuminated Purple Mansion. Is this the King's family of Anbei Kingdom?
There are many vassal forces of Red Light Dao, but there are also great differences between the various vassal forces, no matter how large or small they are.
It seems that the Wang family has had people take refuge under the Purple Mansion for generations, indicating that they are not the same as ordinary vassal families.
The girl is not aware of Master Mengxiang's intention to prove the Golden Dan, and if she knew, she would probably be even more shocked.
"The spell scrolls and pills, however, are all targeted at Qianqi practitioners. My sister-in-law can take a look at our spell scrolls instead.
For example, this Golden Light Torrent Scroll can effectively supplement your combat shortcomings in water magic.
Seeing Ningyao's sister-in-law looking at the Longsheng plaques, Yulou didn't explain either, but directly promoted them.
When Wang Rongsheng left from WoLong Lane, he took away all the things in his shop, including the Golden Light Torrent Scroll, a specialty of Jinbi Cliff.
This spell scroll uses the special spiritual energy from the WOlong Golden Light Tide as a guide for the induction of spiritual power, which is more powerful than ordinary Torrent Scroll, and can be considered an excellent product for dueling.
As Zhong Ningyao has fire, wood, and gold three spiritual roots, water and earth magic have some shortcomings. Yulou's recommendation is based on her needs.
She cultivates "Fahrenheit Inception Decision", mainly focusing on fire and wood. Naturally, there is no need for her to buy the various wood-type scrolls of the Wang family.
"Hahaha, I came to see you, and you're trying to sell me spell scrolls instead. Yulou, you might be a genius in business management in the future."
Yulou's enthusiastic promotion broke Zhong Ningyao's reverie, and she joked.
Rubbed his head and helplessly explained.
"Sister, the family needs the Hundred Treasure Pavilion to earn more spiritual stones, so we naturally have to do our best."
However, the Golden Light Torrent Scroll is indeed worth buying. After all, things are chaotic on the side of WoLong Lane.
"After this period of time, there will probably be no more new special Torrent Scrolls, and only one will be used less and less."
Here's one for you, sister. Outside the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, it might really not have this scroll anymore.
Ningyao didn't have the intention to buy the spell scrolls, but she instead cared about another matter.
"I asked my father about the situation in WoLong Lane, but he didn't tell me. What did you encounter there?"
Zhong Ningyao looked at Yuan'an, who avoided her gaze.
He knows that there is a thick, indescribable barrier between the two of them.
The Wang family did nothing wrong. Hongmei deserves the punishment, but Yuan'an just can't face Ningyao's eyes directly.
"The Valley Spirit Sect broke through the magic array set up by Maofeng Mountain, and we escaped back. However, there is a message here. Don't tell others..."
Noticing Yuan'an's tension, Yulou told Zhong Niyao about the bizarre situation of Maofeng Mountain to divert her attention.
Frowning and listening to Yulou's message, Zhong Ningyao shook her head, sighed.
"It's safer to stay in Qingxi Lane. There are also horse races to watch. By the way, today is the day for horse racing again. Do you want to go?"
In the past three years, Yulou and Yuan'an have been restricted from leaving Qingxi Lane. The only fun thing they have is to watch horse races, and they go every month.
"We haven't..." Hearing Ningyao sister's invitation, Yuan'an wanted to refuse.
"Let's go, we'll go after we finish counting our accounts."
Yulou's answer left Zhong Niyao and Yuan'an a bit confused. Usually, the two of them were the main force for entertainment, and Yulou was often just following along. Why was she so proactive this time?
The reason is actually very simple.
Yulou's psychological age is more mature. When it comes to leisure activities, he looks at it very lightly. Compared to watching the crowd, he is more willing to spend time on cultivation and the study of alchemy.
Yuan'an and Ningyao are well protected by their elders but also restricted from leaving Qingxi Lane. They naturally enjoy watching horse races.
Today, Yulou's sudden change in behavior was because he thought of a special marketing idea.
The three-person nine-fold discount group has achieved good results, but the limited time auction has gone downhill. Yulou wants to find a new way to achieve the breakthrough of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion's business.
This may not directly help Yulou improve his cultivation, but many things are actually interconnected.
Yulou has been reborn in the Wang family, avoiding many pitfalls that wandering cultivators might encounter, and has made progress smoothly.
Relatively speaking, he enjoys the protection of the Wang family and has to make contributions to the Wang family.
In the near future, there will be at least two new foundation builders in the Wang family.
Considering the need for more sources of income, Wang Xianmao has opened a new Hundred Treasure Pavilion in Qingxi Lane.
Later, he placed Yulou in the position of owner of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion to gain experience.
After all, he can only cultivate for three hours a day now, and the remaining spare time is quite a bit. It's just that it can be used now.
With the family's protection and the patriarch's trust, Yulou had no reason to decline, and he had no intention of declining either. What he was thinking about was nothing more than running the Hundred Treasure Pavilion better.
"Keep track of accounts?" Zhong Ningyao looked confused towards Yulou.
"I don't know, sister. My brother was appointed as the owner of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion by the patriarch." Yuan'an said with some pride.
Big brother is highly trusted by the patriarch, so Yuan'an, being his younger brother, naturally also felt happy.
"Soon, just wait."
Yulou took the account book upstairs, had a brief exchange with Wang Rongsheng, and then went down again.
"Let's go, today's work is done."
Although he is the owner, the Hundred Treasure Pavilion doesn't lack employees. With Yongshang uncle watching over it, whether he is there or not actually makes very little difference.
"How much did you earn today?" Zhong Niyao and Yulou walked together, curious and slightly eagerly asked.
Yulou is her junior, and Ningyao naturally has no envy towards Yulou. After a moment of shock, all she has left is support for Yulou's opportunities.
Of course, while supporting Yulou, it's not possible for her to spend money.
With Hongmei around, Ningyao doesn't lack any spell scrolls or spiritual pills.
"It's not us who are earning; we're just helping to look after the store. It's the Hundred Treasure Pavilion that's making money."
Yulou first emphasized that he is a mere employee, and then said.
"It's the third day of opening, and the business is a bit better than the first two days. In the first half of the day, we earned seventeen spiritual stones."
In the morning, we earned seventeen spiritual stones. If that's twenty a day, it would be over seven thousand in a year.
This number is too big, and Zhong Ningyao is a bit dizzy from calculating it.
"A little over ten thousand spiritual stones in a year, Yulou, the business of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion is much stronger than Huafeng Residence."
"How could that be? When we just opened, customers naturally spent more. It's because we used good quality goods to meet their needs and release their accumulated desire to spend."
"As time goes on, the old customers who would buy everything have already done so, and the profit will naturally decrease."
This is also the reason why Yulou wants to diversify and break the impasse as soon as possible. The steps of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion cannot stop, and marketing must keep up.
"Even if the annual profit is halved, you guys haven't earned less..."
Yulou sighed and said.
"The key is the profit margin and turnover rate. The goods in the Hundred Treasure Pavilion are of high quality, even if they are not sold through the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, but through other channels, Wang's family will have its due share of profits."
The patriarch gave me the position of the owner, naturally hoping for more profits. To be honest, I feel a lot of pressure in my heart.
Ningyao understands the profit rate, but the word "turnover rate" is something she doesn't understand.
"What is turnover rate?"
Yulou thought for a moment and explained in a didactic manner.
"Oh, it can be understood as the time from when the goods in the Hundred Treasure Pavilion are put up for sale to when they are sold. The higher the turnover rate, the more goods the Hundred Treasure Pavilion sells within the same amount of time."
"If we want to earn more spiritual stones while ensuring that the sales price does not rise, we need to do something with the turnover rate."
Yuan'an had become a fanboy of Yulou, praising him.
"Brother, you really are a genius in business!"
Yulou quickly waved his hand.
"What's that, just picking up others' ideas."
Ningyao questioned herself, asking that she had also mixed with the three teachings and nine schools, seeing and hearing more than Yulou. However, she hadn't heard of concepts like turnover rate or similar ones.
"You're just too reserved and not showing your talents, Yulou. You don't have any youthful vigor."
Yuan'an didn't fully agree with Ningyao's words this time.
Yes, you are my goddess, but I Wang Yuan'an am not some love slave!
Right is right and wrong is wrong!
"Youthful vigor? What good is it, can it be used as spiritual stones?"
The Wang family's cultivation of its offspring is undoubtedly above average. They have been able to pass down for so long, not just because of the so-called background.
There are plenty of foundation-settling families that rely on the Zifu (Purple Mansion). Families like the Wang family, which have maintained their heritage for over a dozen generations, are not numerous.
People like Yuan'an can gradually be influenced by the teachings of the Wang family and realize what truly important things are.
She was slightly embarrassed and slightly annoyed, giving Yuan'an a withering glance.
"You used to say Yulou was like an old man, and now you're starting to sound like an old man too."
A girl's anger is also very attractive, making Yuan'an scratch his heart with excitement, but thinking of Hongmei, he immediately calmed down.
Master, Master, you're getting older, oh dear.
"Hahaha, Sister Ningyao, when did I start looking like an old man?"
Yulou believes that he is only sixteen years old, the prime of his youth, and has nothing to do with an old man.
Defamation, this is defamation to me~
"You're just like an old man in every way. Hmm, could it be that you were possessed by an elderly evil demon master?"
Zhong Niyao joked and taunted.
"What's that? If I were possessed by an old evil demon master, the patriarch would have seen it by now."
As they walked towards the horse racing track, the three of them laughed and joked, enjoying themselves thoroughly.
As for Hongmei, no one cared.
If one has the heart to kill, one must bear the cost; the Wang family is not a great Buddha on Leshan Mountain, with so much surplus kindness.
