Early that morning, Xiao Yao arrived at a bustling market near the Xiao family residence. Upon reaching the market entrance, he saw Captain Payne approaching him with a grin.

"Young Master Xiao Yao, the clan leader has informed us that as long as you stay in this market, we will be at your disposal and provide close protection."

Xiao Yao looked at Uncle Payne in front of him, nodded helplessly, and said with a smile, "Well, Uncle Payne, please take me to the shop that sells pills first."

Xiao Yao lazily followed Payne down the street, recalling the night before when he had prepared to deliver the healing medicine he had been refining over the past few days to his father.

Then she went to her father's room, intending to return after delivering the medicine.

As a result, his father told him with a grin that the family had agreed to give him a market selling pills to manage, ostensibly to hone his skills in managing the family business, to understand the family's operations, and to sell his own refined pills in the market to learn how to seek higher profits for the family. Ugh, just thinking about it gives me a headache.

Xiao Yao followed Payne to a bustling, large shopping mall.

At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes slowly walked out of the shop. When he saw a handsome boy of about ten years old following behind Payne, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he asked softly.

"Young Master Xiao Yao, come in, let's go inside and talk."

The two were warmly greeted by the middle-aged man and entered the bustling shop.

As soon as Xiao Yao stepped inside, he saw that the shop was filled with all kinds of goods, with exquisite weapons and gorgeous jade bottles on the wooden shelves.

The air was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

The middle-aged man led them to a quiet corner where comfortable tables, chairs, and tea had already been prepared.

After sitting down, Xiao Yao looked around and found that although the corner was not big, it was decorated very elegantly. There were some exquisite calligraphy and paintings on the wall, giving people a peaceful and warm feeling.

The middle-aged man smiled and poured them fragrant tea, then sat down on the wooden chair opposite them and began to talk about serious matters with young master Xiao Yao.

The middle-aged man took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Young Master Xiao Yao, the Xiao Clan Chief said that you should bring the pills he wants to sell in person, and also asked me to personally teach you some business knowledge."

"Hehe, there's no need for you to teach me. I've already brought the healing pills; I'll give them to you later," Xiao Yao replied helplessly.

The middle-aged man looked at the handsome face before him, his eyes revealing a maturity beyond his years. He smiled and said, "I've long heard that the Xiao family has a prodigy alchemist with extraordinary talent. Seeing him today, I can see his remarkable bearing. The Xiao patriarch already said that if you don't want to learn, it's not a big problem. After all, geniuses always have their privileges!"

After the three chatted over tea for a while, the middle-aged man stood up, a beaming smile on his face, and extended his hand, saying, "Young Master Xiao Yao, please come with me."

Xiao Yao and Payne followed his steps, passing through the bustling corridors of the shops, and arrived at the outer area of ​​the shops.

Looking at the rows of empty wooden shelves in front of him, Xiao Yao asked with a puzzled expression, "What were those things that were placed on these empty shelves before? Were they healing medicines?"

The middle-aged man smiled and nodded, explaining, "Yes, these empty wooden shelves are filled with healing medicines provided by the Xiao family. They were sold out in just a few days, so Young Master Xiao Yao, please put the healing medicines you brought on them."

Xiao Yao waved his hand gently at the rows of empty wooden shelves, and instantly rows of neat and orderly jade bottles appeared on the shelves.

He walked towards the last row of empty wooden shelves, took out the second-grade Bone-Regenerating Pills and Qi-Returning Pills from his storage ring, and neatly placed these pills on the shelves.

With a smile, Xiao Yao said to the middle-aged man in front of him, "The last row consists of second-grade pills, namely second-grade Bone-Regenerating Pills and second-grade Qi-Recovering Pills. Don't get them mixed up."

A moment later, Xiao Yao and Payne walked out of the shop and began to patrol the streets.

Xiao Yao watched as many fierce mercenaries, their bodies reeking of blood, eagerly lined up in front of the shop after learning that it had received a new batch of healing pills.

Just then, a thin man dressed in ordinary clothes rushed over. Payne saw this and quickly stopped him.

"Kru, why aren't you pursuing your fortune-making schemes? What are you doing here? Do you even know who this young master in front of you is? You come here looking so impetuous, aren't you afraid of offending him?"

"Hehe, Lord Payne, I just saw Young Master Xiao Yao here and came to report something important."

Hearing that someone wanted to talk to him, Xiao Yao quickly walked up to him, looked at the thin man, and said calmly, "What is it? Just tell me. If it's valuable information, this bottle of second-grade pills in my hand is yours." After saying that, he flicked his finger, and an exquisite jade bottle appeared in his palm.

Kelu carefully took the jade bottle from Xiao Yao's hand, opened it, and saw a round, translucent pill inside, which also emitted a medicinal fragrance.

He tucked it into his arms, smiled obsequiously, and said, "I just received word from my subordinates that Miss Xun'er and her companions were verbally abused by an unknown man on the outskirts of the market. That's why I rushed over here."

"Oh, right, Galeo from the Galeo family is among them. He seems to know that guy in white. There are quite a few of them."

Xiao Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, his calm expression slowly turning grim. He turned his head slightly and said softly, "Uncle Payne, call everyone. Bring me all the living ones!"

"Yes, Young Master Xiao Yao." Then he quickly turned around and ran into the market.

"Lead the way." Turning his head, Xiao Yao nodded to Kluyang and said calmly.

Seeing Xiao Yao's suddenly cold expression, Ke Lu hurriedly nodded, not daring to say another word, and quickly led the way.

"Heh, the Jia Lie family is really tired of living, daring to come to our Xiao family's territory to harass us. I, Xiao Yao, will not let any of you leave this market unscathed today!" Xiao Yao's chilling voice made Klu in front of him tremble, and his speed increased again.

At this moment, on the outskirts of the market, Liu Xi looked at the two beautiful women in front of him, stepped forward, and smiled gentlemanly, bowing slightly as he said, "I am Liu Xi. May I invite you two ladies to stroll around the market together? Hehe, if there is anything in the market that you two ladies like, feel free to pay for it." As he spoke, Liu Xi slightly pulled his arm back, revealing the professional badge on his chest with a hint of smugness.
