Chapter 23 Hidden Crisis

The wages of Canaan College are basically paid directly in the form of supplies, and instructors at the Grand Master level can get a few second-grade items every month to make do.

After all, a bunch of people in the inner courtyard work so hard that the low-level medicines have long been sold out. Paying them as salary can save some financial pressure.

Xiao Yu dipped a little medicine and applied it on his hands.

The emerald green oily droplets are not sticky. They spread out naturally and blend in quickly once they touch the skin.

The inherent medicinal power is released directly with almost no delay.

She only felt a trace of warmth seeping into her skin, and the area where the application was applied began to become active, which lasted for ten breaths and had not completely subsided.

"The real best..."

Xiao Yu didn't know how to describe his feelings for a moment: "This level of elixir, I'm afraid even ordinary second-grade elixirs can't make it! When did such a big Buddha come to the Xiao family?"

Even if she lived frugally in Canaan, she couldn't even afford a few bottles of pills, but her family actually wholesaled them as daily necessities.

He even hid everything from her!
In an instant, she truly felt the disparity in the world.

I thought I was the hope of my family, so I studied hard and became a Dou Ling so that I could come back and revive the family business.

My home was demolished halfway through my studies...

"How do I know this?"

"These matters are directly managed by the clan leader and several elders. We are just guessing about this person, and no one knows the inside story."

Xiao Ning scratched his head.

"The other two are a little anxious. Their business in the market has been squeezed too hard. I heard they will soon hire an alchemist to support them."

"Wutan City is still too small." Xiao Yu sighed while holding the small bottle.

As one of the few people in the family who has seen the world, she sees things much more clearly than this silly brother.

Although Wutan City is backed by the Monster Mountain Range and has a large number of mercenaries coming and going, it is considered a regular commercial city, but there are many such cities, and there are three families crammed into the city.

Each city competes for mercenaries, and each company competes for customers.

There are too many monks and too little porridge...

People in the city robbed shops, picked fights, and even had street fights. These things happened too frequently.

Not to mention outside the city, there were fights between fighting masters, and even cases of each family fighting in the ring.

In the past, there were three families in Wutan City, and their overall strength was firmly at the top, so no one dared to challenge them.

Now that so many elixirs from the Xiao family have entered the market, it is possible that more than a dozen families would unite and come to cause trouble.

Even powerful Dou Ling masters who are firmly in power may cast their eyes on him.

"I just don't know what the relationship between that alchemist and the Xiao family is. If he doesn't intend to help, the Xiao family might be in big trouble..."

"Ah? Is the situation so serious?"

Xiao Ning couldn't believe it: "But there hasn't been any big movement outside for such a long time."

"Can't you think about it carefully? If there was any movement, I wouldn't have notified you before the attack."

"Then, what should we do?" Xiao Ning moved his lips again and again, and finally uttered, "Should we talk to the clan leader and others..."

"Ugh"

Xiao Yu tapped his forehead and said, "I'll go ask about the situation later. If you really want to do it, practice hard instead of just following those good brothers and sisters around all day. It's a waste of time!"

“Oh…oh…”

Xiao Ning lowered his head and scratched his head, not daring to make a sound.

He was not happy all the time. He just made a breakthrough to the ninth level a few days ago and was so happy that he planned this.

As it happened, Xiao Yu took leave to come back to visit.

Hiss...how could something like this be such a coincidence?

"Okay, if you're fine, I'll leave first." Xiao Yu stood up and straightened her clothes. "Sister."

Xiao Ning called her unnaturally.

"Ok?"

Xiao Yu turned around and saw that this young man was hesitant and hesitated for a long time before he could utter a word that could be heard clearly.

"Take all these." Xiao Ning took out a few porcelain bottles and placed them on the table together with the small bottle that Xiao Yu had just put down.

"You've been away for these years, and we haven't given you anything... Instead, you've sometimes asked for this and that..."

From childhood to adulthood, the medicinal herbs he used were better than those of others, and he even had a few magical prescriptions hidden at the bottom of his box.

Xiao Yu begged for them all with a smile.

Xiao Ning's voice got lower and lower as he spoke: "Also, Dad will be relieved from his post tonight, let's have a meal together... Dad was actually quite sad that he missed your departure banquet. He's just a little stubborn and doesn't want to say it directly."

"Tsk—what were you doing so early?"

Xiao Yu turned around abruptly.

Xiao Ning shrank his neck and subconsciously closed his eyes, but nothing fell.

When he opened his eyes again, Xiao Yu had already walked to the door: "I'll only wait a quarter of an hour. If that old guy is late again, I won't let him go!"

"Yes! Definitely, definitely!"

Xiao Ning smiled happily, and nodded and bowed in a very standard manner: "Sister, take care——"

……

"Three hundred and thirty thousand."

There was a table full of account books in front of the great elder. He was wearing a pair of crystal-polished reading glasses and was calculating the accounts with his eyes closed.

"Grand Elder——"

Xiao Zhan was angry but also amused: "How many times have you looked through this account book, and you still don't understand it? I think we should just change the name of this meeting room to the accounting office!"

"It's not impossible..."

The great elder listened with his eyelids raised, muttered something, and slowly put away the booklet.

Ever since the market became prosperous, this bad-tempered and stubborn old man has become like this.

He was just like a ball, no matter how hard he tried, he would kick, slam or slap it, but he never let go of his anger. He would do the accounting every day wearing the glasses he bought at the auction.

temper?

How big can a temper be? Can it be as big as these hundreds of thousands of real money?
Eating gold energy can nourish people, the ancients were not deceiving me...

The third elder looked at the eldest brother helplessly, pinched the jade bead and said, "Recently, a mercenary leader came to Qingshan Town and said he wanted to discuss the issue of stable supply."

"Can't the Third Elder decide on this matter himself? Why drag it to the meeting?" Xiao Zhan moved the table back and put down the tea bowl in his hand.

"Because the leader wants to barter, but he's afraid that the group doesn't have enough funds." The second elder helped.

The table for four people was occupied by the elder alone...

"That's not all. I don't think their mercenary group will last long."

The Third Elder has been handling foreign affairs for half his life. He is considered a man of great experience and is naturally ruthless in judging people. "Although mercenaries are all bloodthirsty, I think that Mu She is too aggressive and has a perverse personality. He must have offended many people."

"Moreover, they are in danger every day and have been injured, but the funds in the group are so scarce. This shows that everyone allocates funds on the spot and squanders them. They are just a group of unorganized reckless people who don't know how to run a business."

"Oh? In that case, this business really can't be continued." The second elder touched his chin and subconsciously glanced at the first elder.

Then he looked away.

Things are different now. This old guy is unreliable now, and he can't just sit there and do nothing anymore.

It's a bit uncomfortable.
