18: Give away slaves and bear the profits and losses yourself

As expected!

He saw through Xiao Qingyuan’s little scheme at a glance.

Not only was he not disappointed, but he was even more gratified.

With strength and knowing how to hide it, the more he looked at this Grandson, the more satisfied he became.

“Not changing it? You know, the help from a Talisman Master in the early stage is something others would kill for!”

“Not changing it! We’ll do it this way. Your Grandson will bear his own profits and losses, and the finished talisman papers will be sold to the Family at ninety percent of the market price. I will not participate in anything after that!”

“Good!”

Xiao Tianheng stroked his beard and smiled.

“Xiong Da!”

The next second, an ordinary-looking man with a resolute face suddenly appeared from the corner.

He walked quickly.

The newcomer was dressed as a Martial Artist, carrying a treasured sword on his back.

His temples were bulging high, and his eyes were bright and piercing.

His hands and feet were large, and his limbs were strong and powerful.

He walked up in a few steps.

He knelt on the ground with a thud.

He respectfully kowtowed.

“This humble one greets the Family Head, and greets the Seventeenth Young Master!”

“Mm!”

Xiao Tianheng nodded.

He pointed at the person in front of him and said, “This is a Martial Artist the Family has cultivated since he was young. He is a Great Grandmaster, equivalent to Body Refining Stage Three. His strength is not much, but he is loyal.”

“Since you don’t want the Family’s cultivation plan, as compensation, I will give him to you today!”

Xiao Qingyuan was a little puzzled when he heard this, but he still nodded gently.

To be able to Cultivate to the Great Grandmaster Realm was a notable figure among Mortals.

But in the eyes of an Immortal, it was only equivalent to Qi Refining Stage Three.

No different from an ant.

He gave one-tenth of his profit to the Family, just to give back a little.

The amount of Spirit Stones he would earn in the future would become increasingly terrifying; the Family would know this later.

Even if it was only one-tenth, the wealth it represented would be terrifying.

It was just a servant; he accepted him.

After thinking about it, he didn’t dwell on it.

Since he was loyal, he could at least serve as a butler and run errands, which was not bad.

“You may rise and stand behind me. Since you are with me, I will give you a new name. Xiong Da doesn’t sound good. From now on, you will be called A Da.”

“Yes! A Da accepts the order. This humble one’s life is the master’s life.”

Xiong Da kowtowed again, this time to Xiao Qingyuan.

Then he stood diligently behind Xiao Qingyuan.

Xiao Qingyuan nodded in satisfaction when he heard this.

Having a loyal follower, even if he was just a Mortal, still felt very good.

Moreover, to be able to Cultivate to the Great Grandmaster Realm at such a young age.

Aside from not having a Spiritual Root, his talent in the Martial Dao should not be underestimated.

One could say he was one in ten thousand!

It just so happened that the Family asked him to take charge of the Mortal side, which could save him a lot of trouble… Coming out of the Council Hall, Xiao Qingyuan not only had A Da following him.

His bag also contained one hundred forty-eight Spirit Stones, thirty stacks of talisman paper, talisman ink, and other items.

The talisman paper and talisman ink were given by his grandfather in his name.

He also gave an extra half Spirit Stone.

Xiao Qingyuan didn't care; as long as it was given to him, he would take it.

This time, he had a full harvest.

He just waited to go back into seclusion and Breakthrough to Qi Refining Stage Five.

At that time, he would save up Spirit Stones and also get a flying Magical Artifact.

He saw others flying around, and it made him so envious!

Unexpectedly, just as he came out, he was blocked by Xiao Yanshi, who had returned.

“Xiao Qingyuan, why did I call you, and you still dared not come? You’re quite bold.”

Holy cow!

“Little Aunt!”

Xiao Qingyuan’s body stiffened.

His Little Aunt, Xiao Yanshi, was only eight years older than him.

Three years ago, she had already reached Qi Refining Stage Five.

His eldest brother reached Qi Refining Stage Five at twenty-one because of insufficient resources.

For this Little Aunt to Cultivate to Qi Refining Stage Five at twenty-three was truly due to her hard work.

She was skilled in wielding spears and staffs, and also Cultivated Mortal martial arts, expertly handling a mountain-splitting axe.

After growing up, she also frequently joined hunting teams in the mountains.

Since he was very young, she had been an indelible shadow over him.

She was the only one who could snatch food from his mouth.

More importantly, she had Bloodline suppression over him, making him unable to fight back.

It was only now that she had matured, she became a little more reserved.

Even more crucial was that this girl looked soft and delicate, with a temperament somewhat resembling Lou Shishi from his previous life on Blue Star.

She even bore some resemblance to her.

But those who knew her knew that she was a Cheng Yaojin; those who understood, understood!

“Heh heh! Little Aunt, wasn’t I busy with my Breakthrough during this time? Look, I’m already in the Qi Refining Stage - Mid Phase!”

Xiao Qingyuan fawned over her.

He had a silly smile on his face.

Damn, his face was numb from all the smiling today.

In this Family, when would he be able to stand up, dammit!

Breakthrough!

He must Breakthrough!

“Eh?”

Suddenly, Xiao Yanshi’s pupils contracted, and her gaze shifted towards A Da behind him.

This scene made Xiao Qingyuan a little puzzled.

But Xiao Yanshi said no more.

Instead, she looked at Xiao Qingyuan up and down with surprise.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll forgive you for now. I heard your new concubine, Young Miss Zhao, is pregnant? When will you bring her to see me?”

Perhaps Xiao Yanshi’s way of changing the subject was too abrupt.

Although Xiao Qingyuan was puzzled, he didn’t think much of it.

He just said helplessly, “Little Aunt, just tell me if there’s anything. I remember I sent you the new perfumes and face creams from the workshop immediately. What else do you need from me?

I’m still waiting to go home for dinner!”

“Who told you about that?” Xiao Yanshi’s pretty face flushed when she heard this. “Where’s the strong liquor I asked for? I heard your winery released a new one called Xinghuacun. Where is the liquor? Why haven’t I seen it yet?”

As she spoke, Xiao Yanshi placed her hands on her hips, speaking with righteous indignation.

As if everything was his fault.

Xiao Qingyuan was speechless when he heard this.

“Big Sister! I’m really impressed with you! Can my winery stop you? If you want to drink, why don’t you just go get it yourself?”

Xiao Yanshi narrowed her eyes when she heard this, and her fists cracked.

“Oh, you! Being in the Qi Refining Stage - Mid Phase makes you different, doesn’t it? You’re looking down on me, aren’t you? Do you believe your old aunt will loosen your bones for you?”

Xiao Qingyuan’s scalp tingled.

He quickly stepped forward, putting on a fawning smile.

“How could I! We just bought some new Yao Beast meat at home. Whatever you want to drink, we have it. I’ll treat you with Guanyin Nu, so she can meet her elder.”

“That’s more like it. It’s not in vain that I specifically brought you this news.” Xiao Yanshi heard this and finally lowered her fist that had been shoved in front of his face. “Don’t say I don’t take care of you. Your father, my second brother, they originally planned to arrange a marriage for you. The target was the county lieutenant’s Young Miss Zhen Qi. I heard she has a distant relative connection with my second sister-in-law.”

“It’s just that they didn’t expect to encounter these matters with Young Miss Zhao, so the Family plans to arrange this marriage for you with the position of co-wife.”

“And that Young Miss Zhen Qi’s parents died young.”

“She has no biological brothers, but a lot of cousins.”

“If she hadn’t been detected with a pseudo-Spiritual Root, she would have long been tormented to death by the elders in her Family.”

“Even so, her life was extremely difficult.”

“She is eighteen this year and is only at Qi Refining Stage Two.”

“What do you think, kid? It’s not too late to regret now…”
