266: Are you Liu Xuan?

Hu Caiping looked like an innocent little sister, but in reality, she had grown up step by step from the bottom, having witnessed the schemes and intrigues among low-level Cultivators.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. When you think you can pick up a bargain, it is very likely that you are the 'food' for someone else.

She understood this principle, so naturally, she would not easily believe what Liu Xuan said.

Liu Xuan was not in a hurry; he reached out and pointed to the Big Black Bear beside him, "You recognize Dashan, right?"

"It is Senior Sister Yunxi's natal spirit beast. If you cannot trust me, surely you can trust Senior Sister Yunxi?"

Dashan stopped eating the Spirit Seeds, staring at the two with eyes as big as copper bells, not knowing what they were talking about.

Liu Xuan took a bag of Spirit Seeds from his Storage Pouch and tossed it to it. The guy grinned and continued to squat on the ground, eating attentively.

The wariness on Hu Caiping's face faded a little. She had seen Old Ancestor Yun Xi and Dashan from afar before, and she also knew that Old Ancestor Yun Xi's status was extraordinary.

Since this person could make Dashan listen and follow him around, he must have a close relationship with Old Ancestor Yun Xi.

Looking at the attitude of the shop assistants and the manager in Guanghui Tower towards him, his status and position were definitely not ordinary.

"Fellow Daoist, you mean..."

She hesitated for a moment and looked at Liu Xuan cautiously.

Seeing that there was a chance, Liu Xuan waved his hand and pointed around, "Miss Caiping, what do you think of my Guanghui Tower?"

"Your Guanghui Tower?!"

Hu Caiping reacted instantly and exclaimed, "Could it be that you are Liu Xuan?"

She had been in Feiyu City for so long and had heard many rumors about Liu Xuan, but she had never seen him in person. She only knew that this Guanghui Tower was Liu Xuan's property.

Rumor had it that Liu Xuan was excessively lustful and that all the beautiful women in the Sect had been selected by him to be his Concubines. Then, right now...

Thinking of this, she shrank back again, looking as if she were terrified that Liu Xuan might eat her.

"Miss, rest assured!"

"I, Liu Xuan, am an upright gentleman and never force others to do things."

"The way to make money I mentioned to you earlier is actually very simple. I intend to hire you as one of the managers of this Guanghui Tower, responsible for transactions with Beast Taming Sect Disciples."

Liu Xuan put away the seeds and sat up straight. His entire aura instantly changed, as if he were a scholar filled with Noble Spirit.

"I will give you a salary of two hundred Spirit Stones per month, and you will also receive a certain percentage of commission based on your performance. How much you can earn depends on your capability!"

"Re...really two hundred Spirit Stones per month?"

When Hu Caiping went to the border to risk her life fighting for a month, she would earn at most a few hundred Spirit Stones. Sometimes she earned more if she was lucky, but she had to bet with her life; one mistake and she could be killed in battle, becoming someone else's spoils of war.

Although the Beast Taming Sect held the advantage on the border battlefield, people died every day for various reasons. The mortality rate for the first batch of people who went there was no less than twenty percent.

If she could earn two hundred Spirit Stones a month just by staying in Guanghui Tower and have enough resources to Cultivate, why would she go to the border and risk her life?

"It is not just two hundred Spirit Stones; it is a guaranteed minimum of two hundred Spirit Stones per month," Liu Xuan reminded her.

Seeing that she was still somewhat suspicious, Liu Xuan added, "The salary is paid in advance every month, and the commission is paid at the end of the month."

"Guanghui Tower will not only hire you as a manager; we will also hire other Beast Taming Sect Disciples one after another. You do not need to have any concerns."

Hu Caiping was still somewhat suspicious and felt that things were not that simple. However, she hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, nodded, and said, "Okay! I trust you!"

Opportunities were rare! Even if she knew it might be a trap, she decided to seize the chance.

Compared to the possibility of dying at any moment on the border battlefield, this potential trap was not worth mentioning.

"That is right!" Liu Xuan smiled and immediately called over Xia He and Lu Ping, who were in charge of Guanghui Tower's affairs, and instructed them to carry out his plan.

"Little Sister Caiping, right? From now on, you will follow me, and I will teach you step by step!"

After hearing Liu Xuan's instructions, Lu Ping immediately understood his intentions. She stepped forward and took Caiping's hand, appearing exceptionally enthusiastic.

Xia He glanced at Lu Ping indifferently and came to sit beside Liu Xuan, "Husband, rest assured, I understand what you mean."

Both of them knew that the business of Guanghui Tower was actually not important; the point was for Liu Xuan to use this as a pretext to hit on the girls from the Beast Taming Sect.

What manager of Guanghui Tower? It was just that Liu Xuan had taken a fancy to the girl!

Otherwise, given Liu Xuan's current status and position, if he really wanted to expand the business of Guanghui Tower, wouldn't it be better to cooperate directly with high-level figures like the Foundation Establishment Ancestors of the Beast Taming Sect?

"He'er is truly sensible!"

Liu Xuan leaned into Xia He's ear and whispered via voice transmission, "He'er, your Cultivation is almost at Perfection. When the time comes, I will gift you a foundation establishment pill to help you forge your dao foundation!"

Xia He knew that once she reached Qi Refining Perfection, Liu Xuan would definitely give her a foundation establishment pill. But hearing Liu Xuan mention it again, she still could not help but feel happy.

However, her expression suddenly became a bit worried, "My Foundation is not solid, and my accumulation is insufficient. Even if I reach Qi Refining Perfection, I should settle for a few years; otherwise, I will just waste a precious foundation establishment pill."

"Who says your accumulation is insufficient?"

"Others can only Cultivate bitterly on their own, but you have my full support. How could your Foundation be inferior to others?"

Liu Xuan gave her a reassuring look and pulled her into his arms, "Besides, it is just a mere foundation establishment pill; it is not a waste. If you happen to fail, I will just give you another one!"

Liu Xuan wanted to know if the foundation establishment pill provided by the System had a guaranteed Breakthrough attribute, so it would be best if Xia He started her Breakthrough as soon as she reached Qi Refining Perfection.

"Husband~"

Xia He breathed like an orchid, her entire body softening in Liu Xuan's arms.

Lu Ping abandoned Hu Caiping and also snuggled up to Liu Xuan, acting coquettishly, "Husband~"

"Ping'er has also been at the ninth level of Qi Refining for a long time, and Qi Refining Perfection is coming soon!"

"Alright, alright, alright!" Liu Xuan reached out and tapped her cute nose, smiling, "You won't be left out!"

Over these years, Lu Ping had been diligent and conscientious, and their son, Dao Rui, was almost fifteen years old. Liu Xuan had removed the Puppet sub-gu from her Divine Soul a few years ago.

Although her level of trust was slightly inferior to Xia He, who had gone through thick and thin with him, Liu Xuan was still willing to part with a foundation establishment pill.

Xia He, who had just been feeling affectionate, rose from Liu Xuan's arms; she found that woman Lu Ping annoying!

But Liu Xuan loved to arrange for them to be together, and sometimes he even enjoyed watching them bicker.

She could not figure out whether Liu Xuan did this because he wanted them to get along well and eliminate their estrangement, or if he simply enjoyed watching them bicker!

Hu Caiping watched the three of them being lovey-dovey. She didn't know whether to leave or stay. What was this? The Joyous Union Sect?

The three of them—Liu Xuan, Xia He, and Lu Ping—did not feel like the orthodox members of the Azure Profound Sect to her, nor were they like the Sword Cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect; they were more like the legendary Joyous Union Sect.

However, she could not ask too much. She only thought to herself that she should stay away from them in the future to avoid being influenced.

"Someone is still watching!" Liu Xuan noticed Hu Caiping's expression and instructed the two women, "You two take Miss Caiping to get familiar with the business first; your husband has important matters to attend to!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Xia He tidied her clothes and left first, while Lu Ping took Hu Caiping's hand and followed.

After the three women left, Liu Xuan took Dashan and brought out the Spirit Seeds again, cracking them while scouting for new, beautiful Junior Sisters from the Beast Taming Sect...
