108: Eighth level of the Golden Core Realm? Impressive?

Uncle Zhong approached and said to Feng Ming, "Second Young Master, today is the anniversary of the Hua Clan Merchant House, and there's an auction. Would you like to go and see?"

Feng Ming nodded. Better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early; since he happened upon it, he naturally had to go take a look.

At this time, the managers of the various Pill Workshops in Qingyang City also followed into the shop.

Seeing Feng Ming, they were like wolves seeing meat, crowding around to curry favor.

"Young Master Feng, the location of your shop is quite good. When do you plan to open? We are waiting to cooperate with you."

"That's right, give us an exact time so we can come and share in the joy when the day arrives."

Feng Ming saw Lu An'an walking down from upstairs and smiled.

"Everyone, do not be anxious or flustered. The main person in charge of this shop is Young Miss Lu An'an. Therefore, as for when it opens and how we will cooperate, you must all negotiate with her. Furthermore, I must declare one point: from now on in Qingyang City, our Feng Family will only operate this one shop."

"If any of you buy Medicinal Pills from other sources and any problems arise, our Feng Family will not bear that responsibility."

The group of managers was instantly shocked upon hearing this. "Young Master Feng, why is that? The Feng Family's Medicinal Pills are so competitive, why only open this one shop?"

"Yes, Young Master Feng, you aren't joking with us, are you?"

"Young Master Feng, can you really resist not opening any branches?"

Feng Ming laughed.

"As the saying goes, fragrant wine fears no deep alley. I believe our Feng Family's Medicinal Pills will sell very well. Moreover, I am doing this for everyone's sake; if we opened many direct-sale stores, how would everyone else make money then?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Muqing frowned and spoke, "Isn't Minger just messing around? If we only open one shop, how will we make money?"

The Eldest Uncles Wife also frowned deeply, but she had great trust in Feng Ming.

"Though it sounds a bit absurd, he must have his reasons. There must be something we haven't considered."

Feng Ming directed the people around him toward Lu An'an; with such a capable helper, he had to make good use of her.

After arranging these matters, he walked over to Feng Xiaotian and the others.

"Grandfather, Father! Eldest Uncle, Eldest Uncles Wife, in a moment, Lord Ye will escort you back to the manor first!"

"Uncle Zhong and I will go out for a stroll later and check out the merchant house across the way. Remember, do not go out after you return. No matter what you need to buy, let the servants do it for you!"

Everyone nodded hurriedly.

The Eldest Uncles Wife quickly asked.

"Minger, don't you worry. We aren't muddle-headed people. At a critical time like this, since you've given us such specific instructions, we guarantee we won't leave the manor."

"However, I really do have something to ask you. What you said just now about only opening one shop—is that for real?"

Feng Ming saw that not only the Eldest Uncles Wife but everyone else was also very curious, so he said.

"This is not the place to talk. I will explain it to you all after we return."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this; the place was indeed crowded with many prying eyes.

So they did not ask further.

Ye Feng now understood Feng Ming's intention in asking him to go to the manor, but he was somewhat surprised that Feng Ming wasn't going back with them.

"You're having me go to your house, but will you be safe if you don't go back? Or are you trying to find a way to deal with the Huangfu Family while I'm protecting your family?"

"If that's the case, you'd better hurry. I'll be leaving tonight, and I'm afraid the Huangfu Family's assassins will arrive the moment I step out."

Hearing this, Feng Ming cupped his hands toward Ye Feng. "Huainian truly is clever. So, please do not leave until I return."

Ye Feng smiled.

"I'll wait to see what you do!"

After saying that, Ye Feng led Feng Xiaotian and the others back to the Feng Family first... Meanwhile, in a restaurant on another street.

Huangfu Jing had finally managed to press Huangfu Rui down into his seat.

Huangfu Rui questioned him.

"Second Brother, what is the meaning of this? I am your elder brother! Your elder brother was toyed with, and not only did you not help, you even stopped me. This is really too much."

Huangfu Jing sighed and said helplessly, "My dear brother, if that kid were anyone else, I would have rushed up and chopped him to pieces without you saying a word."

"But that person has a significant background, and I simply have no way to deal with him."

Hearing this made Huangfu Rui even more displeased.

"Then tell me who this kid is and exactly what his background is!"

Huangfu Jing waved his hand.

"Big Brother, wait for me here. I'll go buy your favorite wine, and we can chat while we drink."

It wasn't that Huangfu Jing wanted to drink, but he knew his elder brother's temperament too well; if there wasn't his favorite wine to soothe the atmosphere,

He wouldn't dare mention Feng Ming's affairs, and even less would he dare tell him that Feng Ming and Lu An'an were involved with each other.

Once that was said, his elder brother would absolutely risk his life against Feng Ming.

He had personally witnessed Feng Ming's battle with Luo Meng. Luo Meng was at the Fifth Layer of Golden Core Realm, and in a life-and-death struggle, he could even kill those at the Seventh Layer of Golden Core Realm.

His strength could be said to be above his elder brother's, yet he was easily subdued by Feng Ming.

If his elder brother couldn't let it go and provoked Feng Ming, he might never return.

Therefore, in Huangfu Jing's view, the priority was to first stabilize his elder brother.

Fortunately, he had a weakness: he gets confused as soon as he drinks. To save his elder brother's life, he couldn't worry about the cost of this wine.

"Huangfu Yunyan, you take care of my elder brother first!"

Huangfu Jing instructed before leaving. Huangfu Yunyan nodded, a strange smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

"Eldest Young Master, have some tea!"

Huangfu Yunyan stepped forward and personally poured a cup of tea for Huangfu Rui.

However, how could Huangfu Rui possibly drink it? He raised his hand and smashed the teacup onto the ground.

"You blind thing, do you see me in the mood for tea?"

Seeing this, Huangfu Yunyan crouched on the ground to clean up the remains of the teacup while advising him.

"I can understand that Eldest Young Master is in a bad mood, but one must resolve one's own emotions. After all, you were only toyed with by Feng Ming today. In the future, when he marries Sister Anan, wouldn't it be..."

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Rui instantly exploded. He stood up, grabbed Huangfu Yunyan's collar, and said angrily,

"Feng Ming is going to marry Lu An'an?"

"Wait, who is Feng Ming? Tell me everything clearly!"

Seeing this, Huangfu Yunyan looked terrified.

"Eldest Young Master, please calm down. The Second Young Master saw that you weren't calm, which is why he had you sit here. I cannot say."

It would have been better if Huangfu Yunyan hadn't said that.

As soon as she spoke, Huangfu Rui became even angrier.

"I am the eldest! What right does he have to keep things from me!"

"Lu An'an is the woman I've set my sights on. Who dares to snatch her from me? Speak quickly, or I'll kill you right now."

Hearing this, Huangfu Yunyan hurriedly knelt down.

Huangfu Rui was the Eldest Young Master of the Huangfu Family, and although his mind was not as meticulous as Huangfu Jing's,

He was indeed very talented in his Cultivation; otherwise, he wouldn't have reached the Eighth Layer of Golden Core realm today.

He was the strongest young person currently in the Lingxiao Sect, and had even attained basic mastery in the Way of the Blade.

It was just that heaven is relatively fair; it gave him Comprehension Ability but didn't give him intelligence.
