Chapter 148: Too Extravagant?

The inner gate of Yanhai Wufu has the Treasure Palace, the Guiyu Palace, the Danlu Palace... New disciples who enter the inner gate are free to choose their favorite palace.

There were only a handful of female disciples among the inner disciples, and the disciples of several major palaces watched with their eyes open, Xia Yuxian entered the inner gate merit hall under the leadership of the elders of the outer gate merit hall for handover.

"Elder Murong, you haven't passed on your disciple yet, do you think Shopkeeper Xia is appropriate?" Who would dare to talk to the Great Elder of the Treasure Palace in normal times, but Lin Ming was desperate today.

Disciples who enter the inner gate before the age of nineteen have a limitless future. What's more, Xia Yuxian, who had been the shopkeeper for so many years, was very mentally in line with Elder Murong's requirements.

Murong Yu, who was watching Xia Yuxian's every move, didn't look back and said, "You still seem to have a request?"

"Hehe, you still don't know the relationship between Shopkeeper Xia and Liu Hong. If you can show up at tomorrow's competition, I'm sure Shopkeeper Xia will be happy to accept you as a mentor!"

Lin Junmen, a well-established character, can guess what happened between Liu Hong and Xia Yuxian with just one sentence. The meaning he sent the news to Lin Ming was to ask him to take care of Xia Yuxian more.

"In tomorrow's competition, I won't be the only one who pays attention!" Murong Yu said, holding an umbrella and walking towards Xia Yuxian.

.............................

Not long after Liu Hong's city guards passed, two more carriages slowly drove in the rain. Captain Xia, who was sitting in the first carriage, kept nagging: "Master, do you have any happy events today? Bring wine, vegetables, and the cook to Baicaotang?"

"Is Yuxian a happy event when he enters the inner gate of the Martial Mansion?" Xia Hulang couldn't hide the joy in his heart.

If a family wants to grow and develop, wealth and cultivation secrets are indispensable. His niece entered the inner gate of the Wufu Mansion and married Liu Hong, and the Xia family could completely skip the primitive accumulation and directly become the upstart of Yanhai City.

"So fast? In this way, the few sons and brothers I helped her find are no longer worthy of her!" Mrs. Xia was surprised.

"You don't have to worry about this kind of thing!" Xia Hulang said a little unhappily.

Don't worry about yourself? Captain Xia, who had not yet recalled, got out of the car and entered the Baicaotang, and saw that Xia Yuxian was always standing with Liu Hong, sometimes showing a coquettish appearance, and gradually understood in his heart.

The cafeteria of Baicaotang does not have a special chef, and usually a few guys take turns to take charge. The chef brought by Xia Hulang is far above them, and the delicacies have not yet been served, and the fragrance can make people hungry.

A few guys, the Liu family sat at a table, Xia Hulang's whole family plus Liu Hong and President Lu of the Inscription Masters Union, and Hong Lao sat at a table.

Since seeing Liu Qiaoyun and Liu Hong in close contact, Mrs. Xia has not had a very good impression of Liu Hong. Is it because his father-in-law agrees with him in this way because he has money in his hands? Seventy million taels of gold is indeed a lot of wealth.

"Nephew Liu Xian, Guan Pu has made so much money this time, do you have any new plans?" Xia Hulang, who was spitting wine, looked at Liu Hong and asked.

"The commander was dismissed, so naturally he was mainly doing business. I made a big deal before I came back!" Liu Hong replied.

When did Liu Hong become a commander of a thousand? What kind of big business could he do to be worthy of such a good public office? Captain Xia stopped serving vegetables to the children and listened to their conversation with questions.

"Do business, are you betting on the Fan family's Guan Pu shop again?" Xia Hulang had a hunch.

"It's a little 100 million! If you win, it's 500 million taels of gold!" Liu Hong replied.

Hearing these two numbers, the chopsticks in Mrs. Xia's hand fell on the table. Baicaotang, which has been in operation for decades, has a profit of less than 30 million, and Liu Hong can win 500 million at a time?

"Playing Guan Pu is not a serious business, if it weren't for your competition tomorrow, I would definitely scold you!" Xia Hulang's serious expression frightened his two children into not speaking out.

Mrs. Xia pulled Xia Yuxian to the side and muttered, and only after learning that the rest of the money had entered Xia Yuxian's pocket did she leave Baicaotang with a light smile.

.........................

Baicaotang, which did not have pills for sale, was deserted, and I couldn't see a single customer enter the door for a long time. Ding Kui, who remained on duty in the sales hall, buried himself in tinkering with his novel, and didn't notice that Director Cao of Foreign Affairs of the Fan Mansion had walked to his counter.

"Liu Hong, the nurse of Baicaotang, became the richest man in Yanhai City, and grew old with Xia's shopkeeper, realizing his good wish to become a rich generation and sit on Bai Fumei?"

Across the counter, Director Cao laughed when he saw Ding Kui's last few words.

"Just Liu Hong dares to claim that he is the richest man in Yanhai City, doesn't it make other people laugh off their big teeth?"

"Director Cao, if Brother Hong wins tomorrow's competition, why can't he become the richest man in Yanhai City?" Ding Kui, who looked up and saw Director Cao, hurriedly closed his novel.

"Let's save such big words for tomorrow! Go and ask your shopkeeper Xia to come out, saying that it is Director Fan Fucao who came to receive the magic weapon on the order of the prince!"

When it comes to hundreds of millions of bets, it's not the shopkeeper Fan who has the final say, could it be that Fan Junmen and the other Fan family members are stupid?

Director Cao, who only knew that his son-in-law was in retreat, did not dare to reveal more relevant information, and just wanted to complete the task as soon as possible and return to Fan's Mansion.

.....................

Tomorrow is the day of the competition between Liu Hong and Fan Siliang, and Liu Qiaoyun, who has obtained several books of Guan-level cultivation secrets, did not dare to disturb Liu Hong, and consciously lay on Liu Hong's bed, baring his head and watching them push the door in.

In order to get my extra credit, Fan Siliang is willing to buy the extraordinary magic weapon of Baicaotang's inventory at a premium of 20%. Xia Yuxian sat on the edge of the bed and explained to Liu Hong.

Extraordinary-level magic weapons are difficult to sell, in order to get Xia Yuxian's merit points, Fan Siliang would rather buy the extraordinary-level magic weapons of Baicaotang back as inventory?

Liu Hong couldn't guess, what is the role of Fan Siliang in collecting credit points?

Tomorrow is the day he competes with Fan Siliang, Fan Siliang uses these merit points to go to the Inner Gate Gongfa Hall to exchange for king-level secrets, is it too late?

Liu Hong, who took off his robe and got into the quilt, pillowed his head with one hand and said: "In my competition with Fan Siliang, the Fan family offered 5 to 1 odds, is the Fan shopkeeper stupid, or full of confidence?"

500 million taels of gold, almost the total value of all the Fan family's industries, if you are not sure, who would take such a big risk?

"You mean, this matter may have something to do with Fan Siliang's purchase of credit points?" Xia Yuxian was a little worried that he had done something bad with good intentions.

"It's not clear yet. It doesn't matter if we lose, at least we already have tens of millions of taels of gold in our pocket!" Liu Hong hugged Xia Yuxian and comforted.

A gamble of 500 million taels of gold is crazy enough, and tomorrow's competition is likely to turn into a battle of life and death.

"Miss, look at which of Liu Hong's magic weapons can be used tomorrow, isn't it just right to hand them over to him for self-defense?" Liu Qiaoyun raised his head and finished speaking, and pillowed his head on Liu Hong's chest.

Liu Hong could only pull out his other hand from under his head, hugged Liu Qiaoyun and asked, "Fan Siliang's weapon, is it the folding fan he has been holding for a long time?"
