Listening to Wang Shichang's question, the four elders also reflected their eyes on Xiao Bao's body, the importance of that swordsman to the Wang family is naturally self-evident, but he only seems to favor Xiao Bao, and the others have never seen him alone.

For Xiaobao to be able to enjoy this kind of treatment exclusively, everyone has to be full of envy.

Lazily raised his eyelids, Xiaobao said in a sullen voice: "Well, see you!" ”

After a slight silence, Xiao Bao spoke again: "He said that his alchemist friend wants to accept an apprentice. ”

Hearing Xiaobao's later words, Wang Shichang's palm holding the teacup suddenly froze, raised his head suddenly, stared at the young man who was sitting in the chair with a very wonderful face, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said with some disbelief: "You said he wants to accept you as an apprentice?" ”

Rolling his eyelids, looking at Wang Shichang with a look of ecstasy and excitement, and the four elders with cramps on their faces, Xiaobao nodded lazily.

"Okay, good..."After taking a sip of tea with a flushed face, Wang Shichang stood up excitedly, walked back and forth in the hall, and rubbed his hands excitedly: "I know that my son is not an ordinary person, grandma's, who dares to say that my son is a waste in the future, Lao Tzu will shoot him to death on the spot!" ”

Looking at Wang Shichang's excited appearance, Xiaobao shook his head helplessly, and said softly: "In half a month, I will go out to practice with the teacher... I'm afraid it won't be back for a year or more. ”

"Huh?" Wang Shichang was stunned, the smile on his face gradually converged, frowned, and asked hesitantly, "Aren't you going to apply for Jialan Academy?" That's a famous college in the Wendou Continent, if you can go there. It's good for you. ”

"I will apply for the exam, but I may miss school for a year or two." Xiaobao touched his little nose and said with a faint smile: "Although Garan Academy is very good. But they didn't allow me to surpass it in less than three years... Erin @Harrumman. ”

Xiaobao smiled, his gaze slowly swept over this hall, it was here that the tsundere woman challenged herself.

Hearing this is almost a taboo name in Xiaobao's heart. Wang Shichang's face shook slightly, and he was silent.

Standing up, Xiaobao lazily hugged the back of his head. Walking slowly out of the hall, the boy's faint laughter echoed in the hall.

"Since she took on the challenge back then, I naturally had to fight it. Hehe. It's not for anything to impress her, it's just that when you're in battle, by the way, your vision is pretty bad..."

……

The next few days passed slowly like quicksand at your fingertips.

In all the markets of the Ma family in Uno City, the amount of healing medicine sold every day is getting smaller and smaller. Until the last day, when the last bottle of healing pills has been sold. The clansmen of the Ma family, who sold medicine, had to squeeze out an apologetic smile at the crowded mercenaries outside the door with an embarrassed face: "I'm sorry, this shop needs to be temporarily closed due to insufficient inventory." ”

Outside the shop, hearing these words, the mercenaries who were still crowding each other suddenly fell silent, and glared at the person selling the medicine with a vicious gaze for a long time, and then they dispersed in a hurry.

The mercenaries who scattered away were still muttering some unceremonious insults in their mouths, which made the people who sold the medicine pale.

Within less than an hour after the Ma family's healing medicine was sold out, almost the entire Uno City spread the news, and at the moment, they couldn't help but be stunned, secretly gloating, regretting, and sighing...

Without the support of healing medicine, the competition between the Ma family and the Wang family will undoubtedly be a mess, and after this defeat, the Ma family is obviously greatly damaged, and in the future, it will be difficult to restore the influence in Uno City to the same situation as before.

Wang's house, the council hall.

"The source of the Ma family's healing medicine is broken?" Listening to the report from his subordinates, Wang Shichang stood up suddenly after being stunned, and the joy on his face was almost impossible to hide.

Excitedly glancing at each other with the four elders, now they were also ecstatic on their faces, Wang Shichang walked around the hall two steps excitedly, and after a while, he finally suppressed the joy in his heart, and asked with a smile at the voice of the announcement: "What about their alchemist named Lu Renjia?" ”

"I don't know, since Marven had a conflict with Lu Renjia and Young Master Xiaobao that day, the next day, I haven't seen that person again."

Hearing this, Wang Shichang and the four elders were slightly stunned, and then their eyes shifted to Xiaobao who was sitting on the chair on the side.

"What do you want me to do? It's none of my business. Seeing the five of them looking over together, Xiaobao rolled his eyes and said innocently.

Wang Shichang shook his head helplessly, anyway, he wouldn't believe what Xiaobao said, no matter what you wanted? How could that person disappear from the world after a conflict with you?

"By the way, patriarch, I learned from the words inadvertently leaked by an insider of the Ma family that the second elder of the Ma family, Magdan, seems to have been killed by a mysterious black-robed man on the way to transport medicinal herbs." After a moment's hesitation, the person who reported it suddenly whispered.

"What? Magdan was killed? The footsteps of walking suddenly stiffened, and Wang Shichang's eyelids twitched slightly.

Magdan is the second elder of the Ma family, and his strength cannot be underestimated, and such a strong figure will be killed, which really surprised Wang Shichang.

After a moment of silence, Wang Shichang nodded, waved his hand to send the person who reported it back, turned his eyes to Xiaobao, and asked with a smile: "Xiaobao, you can easily kill the three-star Jinshi Magdan, this kind of strength, in the entire Uno City, except for your teacher, I'm afraid no one else can do it, right?" ”

Xiaobao touched his nose, sighed, and nodded helplessly: "Magdan is indeed dead." ”

Hearing Xiaobao admit it personally, Wang Shichang also shook his head with some sighs, this Ma family, who has been fighting with the Wang family for decades, is actually because of a teenager, and gradually entered decay, this feeling...

With a wry smile, Wang Shichang sighed: "I know that old gentleman will help our Wang family, mostly because of you, but if you have time, I would like to thank our Wang family, we owe too much favor." ”

Xiaobao shrugged his shoulders and nodded with a smile.

"Next, let's see how the vest cleans up this mess." Wang Shichang smiled, gloating in laughter, undisguised.

In the battle for the healing medicine market, the vest returned with a big defeat, and this defeat made them lose their vitality, but the Wang family became the biggest profiteer in this competition.

In just two months of confrontation, the Wang family almost went from a plummeting adversity, miraculously turned defeat into victory, and the profit of two months of healing medicine was not only comparable to the total income of the previous year, but also the influence of the current Wang family in Uno City has obviously surpassed the Ma family and the O'Brien family, and, because of Xiaobao, now even Wal-Mart Auction House is constantly making good moves to the Wang family, all of which have made the Wang family the most popular emerging force in Uno City.

However, although the Ma family suffered a major blow this time, after all, the hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, even if there was no profit from the healing medicine, the strength of the Ma family was still not to be underestimated, and the armed forces that his family had cultivated over the years did not dare to ignore it easily in Uno City.

The Ma family is also very aware of the influence of the current Wang family, so after knowing that the competition is hopeless, they have to be like poisonous snakes, quietly entrenching their bodies, secretly licking their scars, and seemingly waiting for this opportunity to make a comeback again.

However, this kind of entrenched days did not seem to last long, the day after the Ma family's healing medicine was cleared, the medicinal herb family of Lodge City, led by two Jinshi, rushed into the Ma family's compound violently, and very "politely" asked Ma Zhentian to pay off the three million gold coins owed for the purchase of medicinal materials within two days.

Such a move by the Rocky City Medicinal Herb Family was undoubtedly an unceremonious blow on the head of the Ma family with a stick, but Rao is Ma Zhentian was furious in his heart, and he did not dare to offend a force whose strength would not be weaker than the Ma family at this time, so he had to break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and began to desperately scrape together money to pay off the debt.

However, Ma Zhentian turned the family upside down, and only collected more than one million gold coins, which is undoubtedly a big distance from the arrears.

In desperation, Ma Zhentian had no choice but to be cheeky to find a force with a better relationship on weekdays, planning to borrow some money temporarily to solve his urgent needs.

But there are a lot of people who put the icing on the cake, but what is the charcoal in the snow? But it is pitiful, seeing the Ma family's current down-and-out appearance, and there is the Wang family watching from the side, how can the forces that have been friends in the past stick this kraft candy to themselves?

If you don't fall into the well and add fuel to the fire, you can be worthy of your Ma family.

Ma Zhentian, who returned to the family with a gloomy face, had to make an extremely unwilling idea that shocked everyone after making a big thunderstorm: "Sell the market!" ”

The Ma family has three medium-sized markets and four small markets in Uno City, and what Ma Zhentian plans to sell this time are the two with the best locations and the most popular among the three markets.

As soon as this news came out, not only the Ma family reacted strongly, but even the entire Uno City was shocked, you know, the income of the market basically accounted for five or six tenths of the Ma family's profits, and it was not a way to make Ma Zhentian want to sell the market, so it can be seen that Ma Zhentian has been forced into a desperate situation.

Doing business in the market, as long as the popularity is enough, there is a scene of making money and losing money, but there are only a dozen or so markets in Uno City, which are controlled by the Ma family and the Wang family on weekdays, and the other O'Brien family does not rely on the market for a living, their profits mainly come from most of the underground casinos and various peach-colored places, so when they know that the Ma family intends to sell the best market in the area, many people are a little greedy, but after the greed, they are all sluggish and soft.
