Mu Shengbai went in and found that although there was nothing in this shop as much as the little boy said, it was not much different. I saw that there were not many items on display on the counters on both sides, and more were empty, leaving only labels to tell visitors what had been placed here, and some cobwebs were wildly entangled in the corners.

"What's going on, how did the shop in Liuyun Villa come to this point?" Mu Shengbai picked up the pile of cobwebs with his hands, his eyes full of shock.

"Young farmer, this, alas." The boy wanted to say something, but at last he sighed, looked lonely, then shook his head, and finally said nothing.

"Little Four, who is this little brother?" Several teenagers dressed in college clothes, about seventeen or eighteen years old, heard the sound of conversation outside, lifted the curtain and walked out, still holding cleaning tools such as rags in their hands.

"This is a young owner of our Liuyun Villa." Xiao Si nodded respectfully to Mu Shengbai, and then said to those people.

"It turned out to be the young owner, fortunately." They were a little reserved, and they stood by and didn't know what to do for a while.

When Mu Shengbai was in the villa, he went up to Mu Changfeng and went down to the villa to watch him grow up, and his attitude was quite kind, with a lot less awe, and it was the first time for him to face so many peers who were so respectful to him, and he was not very embarrassed.

"You don't have to do this, just call me Shengbai or Mu Shengbai." He scratched his head, embarrassed.

Those students were relieved to see that Mu Shengbai had no arrogance, but they didn't really call him that way as he said.

"I don't know who you are?"

A student dressed in a cyan academy uniform and wearing a purple hair crown hurriedly said: "We are all disciples of the academy under Liuyun Villa, and we come here to help in our spare time, which can be regarded as fulfilling our obligations." ”

Mu Shengbai frowned, glanced around the store, and wondered: "Why do you want to help, are there no employees here?" ”

Their faces darkened, and it was the one with the purple hair crown who answered him, "The young owner doesn't know the current situation of the shop, there hasn't been a single item sold here for months, and the store has been in a state of deficit, and even the employees can't afford to pay their monthly salaries, so they left one after another." Fortunately, our college is located in Jinling City, so we can come over to help one or two in our spare time, so that the store will not be unable to operate. However, the store is barely maintained, and if it is said to be profitable, it is not. ”

It turned out that the store that was making money every day had fallen to such a point.

Mu Shengbai sighed and arched his hand to them gratefully, "No matter what, I still have to thank you for your help." ”

Those students all looked flattered, and took a few steps back, "Young Lord, we can't afford this gift, Liuyun Villa is as kind to us as a mountain, if it weren't for Mr. Changfeng's funding and tolerance for our poor disciples, how can we have a school to enter now, how can we have the opportunity to learn the scriptures, now it's just a gesture, it's our duty." But seeing the gradual decline of the store, although we have the heart, we are not enough, and we are ashamed of Mr. Changfeng. ”

Mu Shengbai has always known that the academy under Liuyun Villa has always been kind to those students who have excellent grades but are from poor families, not only exempting them from tuition, but also providing them with the four treasures of study.

Now when he saw these students, he only felt that they were as gentle as jade and had advanced and retreated, and they did not live up to the master's kindness to them, and he was very satisfied in his heart.

"Don't say that, you're doing a good job. If my master knew, he would be very pleased. And I'm here for the sake of the shop, and I'm sure I'll resume the shop's business. ”

Mu Shengbai's face was solemn, and he only felt that the burden on his body was very heavy.

Although he was a few years younger than those students, he was a head taller than all of them because he was a martial artist since he was a child, and he had already torn off his human skin mask on the way, revealing a perfect face that seemed to have been carefully carved by the heavens, which made people trust him. As if he said so, he would definitely be able to do it.

"The young owner is wonderful, and we believe that if the young owner makes a move, he will definitely turn the tide, and the business of the store will definitely be thriving."

Everyone clasped their fists at Mu Shengbai and said in unison.

Mu Shengbai nodded and patted the student wearing the purple-haired crown, "I don't know what to call this brother?" ”

"The young owner is in trouble, if you want, just call me Qingcheng."

The man hurriedly bent down slightly, and said respectfully, Qingcheng must be his word.

"Okay Qingcheng, I want to ask you something about the inside of Jinling City."

"Qingcheng must know everything and say everything."

The boy wiped a few chairs with a rag, led Mu Shengbai and a few people over, and then went into the house and brought out a few cups of tea and respectfully handed them to Mu Shengbai. It was probably one of the few good teas left here, and the fragrance spread throughout the shop at once, making it refreshing.

From the mouth of Qingcheng, Mu Shengbai learned that there are three major forces in Jinling City, which has been entrenched in Jinling City for decades, which contains countless rare treasures, and the wealth is abundant, only what is enough to cause a sensation in Jinling City, most of them will be Qibao Zhai to the very inevitable appearance of the Golden Grotto, one night pavilion is the largest "fairy treasure land" in Jinling City, it is said that every man who passes through Jinling City does not go to a night pavilion, just like satisfied with Jinling City.

There is also a major force that is the largest money bank here, Shifang Money Bank.

And the reason why the store has been depressed so far is because it has been operating poorly and has lacked products to attract customers' attention. The shop opened here by Liuyun Villa is not limited to selling just one kind of product, but everything from a woman's rouge gouache to a priceless vase and rare treasures. It also had a place in Jinling City back then.

However, after being exposed two years ago because of that incident, Jinling City gathered people from all walks of life at once, and also brought objects that people in Jinling City had never seen, and the Qibao Zhai founded by mysterious people was equivalent to the Liuyun Villa store that contains a variety of objects, gradually, more and more people went to Qibao Zhai, and this place was gradually forgotten by people.

Mu Shengbai digested the information in his mind, and also knew the reason why the store was gradually declining, so he had some ideas in his heart.

Bidding farewell to everyone for the time being, Mu Shengbai decided to go and find out about the situation of other shops in person. Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles.
