Chapter 265 Playing Big
Yang Xun has been very happy recently.
His new disciple basically never stayed at Zuidan Peak except for eating and sleeping. He was very diligent.
I heard that he also got a job as a deliveryman, earned a lot of spirit stones, and caused a lot of buzz in the sect.
"Alas, heroes are born young, which makes me worry less!"
Yang Xun took two big gulps of wine and lay comfortably on the wooden couch.
"Old Yang! Come out here!"
The clouds on the top of Zuidan Peak were scattered by a loud shout.
"You're here so soon?" Yang Xun raised his eyebrows slightly. "You're still the same as before, unable to control your temper."
Qian Yuanbao, the head of the trading pavilion, came through the air on a golden abacus. His round belly made his brocade robe embroidered with copper coin patterns shine.
He slapped the wooden door of the alchemy room with his palm, causing dust to fall from the door frame.
"You guys from Zuidan Peak are so bold that you actually dare to steal the business from the Trading Pavilion!"
A disheveled head popped out from behind the alchemy furnace. Yang Xun stood up unsteadily, holding a wine gourd. His collar was still stained with burnt ash from the furnace explosion last night while he was refining the alchemy furnace.
"Fatty Qian, what are you yelling about so early in the morning..."
"It's all your apprentice's fault!"
Qian Yuanbao threw out a stack of account books, and the pages of paper rustled and spread all over the floor.
"have a look!"
"The trading pavilion's turnover plummeted last month, all because of that takeout business your beloved apprentice was running!"
Yang Xun squinted his eyes and looked at the red circle marked on a certain page——
[Tianjian Peak purchases ten bundles of Xunyun Peak's Spirit Feathers]
[Handled by:]
[Danfeng Takeaway Lu Yuguan]
Yang Xun muttered quietly: "This kid is really amazing. He can actually make money from Qian Fatty..."
He took a sip of wine, then looked up with a look of deep sorrow and anguish on his face: "Is this really true? I'll find that evil disciple right away!"
Lu Yuguan, who was huddled in the corner pretending to sleep, was grabbed by Yang Xun by the back of the collar and stumbled to Qian Yuanbao.
In his arms, he was holding a booklet filled with the needs of each peak, with some ink still wet, and he was looking directly at Qian Yuanbao's flaming eyes.
“Lu Yuguan!”
"You're using outer disciples as errand boys, using flying swords to deliver packages, and you're also promoting the 'free ice and fire pills for those who reach fifty' promotion?"
"Do you know that according to the sect's rules, transactions must go through the Trading Pavilion to take a cut?"
Qian Yuanbao's abacus beads clattered.
Lu Yuguan dusted off the hem of his clothes and calmly took out a jade-inlaid scroll.
"Uncle Master, please understand. Article 230 of the sect's rules states that privately reselling sect supplies is strictly prohibited."
"But the things that the disciples sent us were all produced by each peak. At most, it can be considered as... mutual assistance and exchange?"
"quibble!"
Qian Yuanbao poked his fat finger at the small characters at the end of the scroll, "Look at this note!"
"[Purchasing roast chickens from the Outer Gate Market for five cents each]... You're even mixing in common food. How can the Law Enforcement Hall tolerate you?"
Yang Xun suddenly interrupted and drunkenly put his arm around Qian Yuanbao's shoulders: "Old Qian, young people are just playing around..."
"A little fight?"
Qian Yuanbao shook off his hand, pulled out a heavy storage bag from his sleeve, and immediately poured out a lot of spirit stones.
"This is the unsettled payment he received from the Trading Pavilion. A full two thousand seven hundred taels!"
"If it weren't for this Pavilion Master's cleverness, who knows how much the loss would have been?"
"The law enforcement elder is on his way. Master and disciple, neither of you can escape!"
Yang Xun, who had been pretending to be stupid, suddenly became clear-eyed. He squatted down and poked the pile of spirit stones, then turned around and gave Lu Yuguan a thumbs up.
"Hey!"
"That's more than what I made selling Tribulation Pills back then!"
"Master!" Lu Yuguan stamped his feet anxiously, "Now is not the time to praise me!"
"What are you afraid of?"
Yang Xun took out the wine gourd and threw it on the ground, a gleam of light flashing in his cloudy eyes.
"Back then, when the Thirty-Eight Peaks jointly sued me in the Law Enforcement Hall, wasn't it because of a furnace of Drunkenness and Dreaming Death Pills that I was able to force those stubborn old men to retreat for three months?"
Qian Yuanbao's face suddenly changed when he heard this. He was about to make a gesture to send a message when he suddenly saw a sword light like a waterfall in the sky.
The black jade banner of the Law Enforcement Hall pierced the clouds, and a cold shout echoed through the mountains:
"Yang Xun and Lu Yuguan from Zuidan Peak, go to the Criminal Law Hall for trial immediately!"
Lu Yuguan's movement of bending down to pick up the spirit stone froze in mid-air.
But Yang Xun slowly stood up and took out a jar of mud-sealed old wine from the bottom of the alchemy furnace. After breaking the seal, a strange fragrance filled the sky.
Yang Xun grinned at the command flag:
"Please wait a moment while I warm up a bottle of good wine. After all, the cold bench in the Criminal Law Hall is really uncomfortable!"
……
Law Enforcement Hall.
The inner hall was filled with densely packed disciples, many of whom were outer disciples recruited by Danfeng.
Bai Ming and Miao'er squeezed into the crowd, anxiously looking at Lu Yuguan who was kneeling on the ground.
"What happened to Master Lu?"
Miaoer asked.
Bai Ming frowned: "It seems that he was escorted here because he touched the interests of the Trading Pavilion."
Miao'er was surprised and asked, "Huh?"
Bai Ming knew that Lu Yuguan had an unconventional mind and could always come up with something unusual.
Qianhua Chamber of Commerce is proof of this.
But now that I am in Xuanyu Sect, it is not like the free Kyoto. I must always abide by the rules and follow the rules of Xuanyu Sect.
Bai Ming clenched his fists, but then loosened them weakly.
He knew that he and Miao'er were merely outer disciples and had no say in the Law Enforcement Hall.
"Third brother..."
"Please don't get into any trouble!"
Seven Netherworld lamps were hung on the dome, and the purple flames moved between the black jade flags, stretching the shadow cast by Du Yuansheng's hooked nose.
The withered fingers tapped on the jade slip on the table, and each crisp sound was like a poisonous spider spinning silk.
The obsidian floor tiles reflected the cold light of the Soul Locking Chain, and the delicate face faintly visible at the end of the chain was much better than an ordinary furnace.
Du Yuansheng stared at the audience.
In just two months, this Demon-Suppressing Furnace has caused such a disaster.
But it’s also good. I was just worrying about how to pull this kid out of Yang Xun’s hands. Now is a good opportunity.
"You have secretly cut off the sect's financial resources and disrupted the trading order," Du Yuansheng said, licking his yellowed teeth. "According to the law, you should have your cultivation abolished and be expelled from the sect."
"However, considering that you are new to the sect and unfamiliar with the rules, I will punish you by confining you to the Cold Marrow Cave for five days to reflect on your mistakes."
As soon as these words were spoken, the disciples watching gasped.
"Cold Marrow Cave?"
"That's the most terrifying prison in the sect!"
"The last disciple who went in to reflect on his mistakes failed to protect his Dantian, and even his spiritual roots were damaged!"
"It's just a food delivery. Is it necessary to go into the Cold Marrow Cave?"
……
Listening to the noise around him, Lu Yuguan broke out in a cold sweat on the back of his neck.
"Mist grass!"
"Tong-chan, this is getting serious!"
[Haha, I've never seen you play small games]
The system said.
Lu Yuguan: ...
No.
Are we talking about the same thing?
Faced with such a verdict, Yang Xun suddenly burst into laughter.
"Du Yuansheng, stop being so hypocritical!"
"My disciple just wanted to facilitate transactions between the various peaks. What crime has he committed?"
"If he really needs to be punished, I, as his master, will go with him!"
As he said this, he ignored the authority of the Law Enforcement Hall and took another gulp of wine.
Du Yuansheng's face was gloomy.
He didn't expect that Yang Xun would openly oppose him.
Just when the atmosphere was at a stalemate, a clear voice came -
"Wait a minute!"
