I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

Grandma Luo saw the corpses piled up on the ground.

He quickly shielded Xu Jing behind him, while looking at Lu Xuan with a wary expression.

She was unaware of the relationship between Lu Xuan and Xu Jing.

But seeing Lu Xuan easily kill Zhang Yuan and the others, it's clear that killing them would be a piece of cake for him if he wanted to.

Grandma Luo dared not relax about this.

"It's alright, you don't need to help."

Lu Xuan waved his hand.

They then went forward and searched Zhang Yuan and the others, taking away their storage rings, storage bags, and money pouches.

Finally, he flicked his finger.

A ball of grayish-white flame landed on the corpses of Zhang Yuan and the others.

boom!

In the blink of an eye.

The bodies of Zhang Yuan and the others were also burned clean.

No trace was left.

What a young chief deacon!

What kind of identity is this, a disciple of the Northern Spirit Pill Sect?

At that moment, they all vanished with a gust of wind.

Xu Jing also swallowed hard.

This……

It's so clean.

It even felt to her as if Zhang Yuan and the others had never been there.

"Grandma Luo, you may leave now."

"Remember, you've never been here before."

Xu Jing said with an extremely serious expression.

This matter must not be leaked.

But since Granny Luo was one of their own, Xu Jing trusted her completely.

"Miss……"

Grandma Luo looked worried.

She wasn't worried about her own safety; she was only worried that Lu Xuan might harm her young lady.

If she could, she would risk her life to stop Lu Xuan and send Xu Jing away.

"Don't worry, Elder Lu won't hurt me."

"If Elder Lu wants our lives, even if you're here, you can't stop him."

Xu Jing said.

The old woman glanced at Lu Xuan with extreme vigilance.

He then had no choice but to obey Xu Jing's orders and leave the inn.

"Master...this is all my fault."

"Someone must have leaked your information, which is why they've been targeting you."

"I haven't even let headquarters know about you."

After Granny Luo left.

Xu Jing quickly stepped forward to explain.

When she heard the news, she rushed over immediately.

"Hmm... I don't doubt you on that point; you're not that stupid."

Lu Xuan nodded and said.

If you don't even trust your own woman, why would you trust anything else?

Lu Xuan didn't pay any attention to these things.

"Just pretend you know nothing about what happened today."

"You don't need to worry about this Northern Spirit Pill Sect matter."

Lu Xuan said.

Although Xu Jing was in charge of Gu Yun Pharmacy, she was only in charge of a branch in a county town. This was mainly because Zhang Yuan was not a heavyweight figure, so she naturally dared not take the lead in damaging the relationship between Gu Yun Pharmacy and Bei Ling Dan Sect.

After all, the two companies are not really competitors, but they can still have some degree of rivalry.

Lu Xuan didn't intend to influence Xu Jing.

Given Xu Jing's current abilities, she is not capable of withstanding such pressure.

Besides, this is his business, and there's no need to involve Xu Jing.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jing shook her head.

"This matter is definitely not simple."

"It is highly likely that someone inside the Ancient Cloud Pharmacy wants to use the Northern Spirit Pill Sect to deal with me. Even if I don't participate, I still can't escape unscathed."

Hearing Xu Jing's words, Lu Xuan nodded slightly.

The complexities involved in such matters are often difficult to explain in just a few words. It's impossible to say how many connections are involved, both inside and out, before and after.

When interests are involved, things are often complicated.

After thinking about it for a moment, Lu Xuan immediately made up his mind.

"That's not difficult."

"Then let's start by addressing the issues within your Guyun Pharmacy."

"Give me a list first, and I'll take care of them according to the list."

Lu Xuan said without any hesitation.

Although this approach may seem like meddling or getting involved in some conflicts.

But for Lu Xuan...

Anyone who wants to target Xu Jing will definitely start with him. To outsiders, he and Xu Jing are already inextricably linked.

Therefore, solving Xu Jing's problem is equivalent to solving his own problem.

Moreover, Xu Jing was still his woman.

In cases like this, they've already clearly started testing the waters.

Therefore, Lu Xuan had to nip the danger in the bud.

It's always better to strike first than for the other party to make a move later!

"master……"

Xu Jing's eyes were filled with emotion.

Regardless of Lu Xuan's reasons, this absolute trust, coupled with his domineering behavior in protecting his wife, ultimately moved Xu Jing deeply.

After all, Xu Jing's actions could be considered as implicating Lu Xuan.

But Lu Xuan didn't ask any questions and went straight to asking her for the list, ready to start taking action.

Xu Jing didn't hesitate either, and after thinking it over in her mind for a while.

That is what he said.

"Based on my deduction, at least two of them are plotting against us."

"One of them is Liang Wanquan, the deputy manager of Guyun Pharmacy in Jinyuan City."

"The other one is Lü Hui, the resident steward of the Beilingdan Sect in Wuling County."

"If nothing unexpected happens, based on my current performance, my next step will be to go to Jinyuan City and take over the position of manager. In that case, it would be equivalent to replacing Liang Wanquan."

"As for the other one, Lü Hui, he has asked our Guyun Pharmacy to make the Tiger Essence Powder formula public several times before, since our Tiger Essence Powder has a great impact on their low-grade pills."

"Lu Hui already had a good relationship with Liang Wanquan."

"Some things happen in secret, but I've also heard some things. Liang Wanquan has been trading medicinal herbs with Lü Hui in private, and their interests are closely intertwined."

Xu Jing said.

The two individuals were named, and the reasons behind their names were explained.

One is in Jinyuan City, and the other is in Wuling County.

"Write down their addresses for me; this old man might not remember them."

Lu Xuan said.

Afterwards, Xu Jing wrote down both of their addresses and handed them to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan handed the Spirit Qi Pills he had previously refined to Xu Jing.

"These are the pills I promised you before."

When Xu Jing saw the Spirit Pill that Lu Xuan took out, her pretty face was filled with shock, and her red lips trembled slightly.

"Master...you're here so quickly!?"

Xu Jing said in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan stepped forward and grabbed a handful.

"How dare you say the master is fast?"

"I'll show you what I'm made of today!"

After saying that, Lu Xuan picked Xu Jing up and carried her around the waist.

They led us to a room upstairs.

The entire inn had been emptied by Zhang Yuan and his group.

I reckon the shop assistants and the like won't be back until the appointed time.

This also gives Lu Xuan a good chance to show his skills.

"Ah... sir, that's not what I meant..."

Xu Jing immediately blushed.

However, Xu Jing also actively responded to Lu Xuan's domineering offensive.

Over the next hour, Xu Jing fully experienced just how powerful her master was.

Even this is not Lu Xuan's limit.

It was Xu Jing's limit.

Only after Xu Jing begged for mercy did Lu Xuan let her go.

At this moment, Lu Xuan was not in a hurry and went to Xu Jing to ask for the formula for the fourth-grade pill.

First, use some Grade 3 pills to become more familiar with your Spirit Ash Holy Flame.

After all, the medicinal materials used to refine fourth-grade pills are themselves very valuable.

It's at least a sixth-grade spirit fruit.

If it gets damaged, Lu Xuan will be heartbroken.

These are all old ideas; they're just afraid of wasting resources.

Therefore, Lu Xuan also instructed Xu Jing to continue sending some medicinal herbs directly to Zihu Manor.

"By the way, can we trust that old woman?"

Lu Xuan asked.

He didn't know this Granny Luo at all, nor did he understand her.

If this old woman has any problems, Lu Xuan will not hesitate to solve them.

"Grandma Luo is absolutely fine. She raised me from a young age, and I trust her completely."

Xu Jing nodded and said.

"Okay then."

Lu Xuan waved his hand as well.

As darkness fell, before leaving.

Lu Xuan also set the entire inn ablaze.

As for how much the innkeeper lost, that was none of his concern; Lu Xuan didn't care at all.

He was already being merciful by not going so far as to find and kill the innkeeper's entire family.

Xu Jing returns to the Ancient Cloud Pharmacy.

I still feel unsettled about what happened today.

Zhang Yuan wasn't exactly a big shot.

Even within the Northern Spirit Pill Sect, they might not know about this.

However, if an investigation is conducted later, some clues will definitely be found.

"No, I have to retaliate too."

"Otherwise, these bastards will only become more arrogant and rampant!"

Xu Jing's eyes narrowed, revealing a faint killing intent.

First, all the information we had gathered about the transactions between Lü Hui and Liang Wanquan should be leaked so that the Northern Spirit Pill Sect could investigate.

If the master could clean up the scene properly, it might create the impression that these two guys had fled to escape punishment.

At this moment, Xu Jing couldn't care less about anything else.

Fortunately, the opponent's attack was unsuccessful this time.

This also gave Xu Jing a chance to fight back.

If we're talking about tactics, who doesn't have some?

It's just that I didn't have any connections before, so I had to rely on myself to work hard step by step.

But now Lu Xuan has stepped in to help.

This naturally gave Xu Jing confidence.

Since Lu Xuan said that he would handle these people, then there should be no problem.

Lu Xuan returned to Purple Lake Villa.

He discovered that the girls were all waiting for Lu Xuan to have dinner.

"From now on, if you're hungry, just eat on your own. You don't need to wait for me."

"Our family rules don't need to be so strict."

Lu Xuan waved his hand and said.

These girls are all so sensible.

Now that they're all practicing martial arts, they need to make sure they get enough nutrition.

Unless you reach the level of Lu Xuan.

Therefore, in terms of the nutritional value of meat, there is not much need for it.

"Qingxue, come with me after dinner."

Lu Xuan said to Liu Qingxue.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingxue's eyes lit up.

This is another operation!

"Okay!"

Since the last incident involving the Bai family, Liu Qingxue seems to have become even more determined in her goal of practicing martial arts, or rather, she has finally found a joy in practicing martial arts.

In addition, Liu Qingxue herself was quite strong.

With a little polishing, it can quickly become stronger.

"Qin'er, how's business at the Treasure Pavilion lately? Have you encountered any problems?"

At the dinner table, Lu Xuan also inquired about Jiang Qin's situation.

Some time ago, Lu Xuan also took some resources and gems and put them to Jiang Qin to sell.

Of course, all of these are clean.

And it has a certain value, which can be considered as making Jiang Qin's Treasure Pavilion even more popular.

"Business has been very good lately."

"With the master's gift of several prized items, even those who haven't bought anything are attracting more and more visitors."

"Moreover, the streets are now managed by the Wu Gang, and there are no troublemakers left."

Jiang Qin said.

"That's good."

"However, we should still pay more attention to safety in general."

"If anything happens, protecting yourself is the most important thing; money doesn't matter."

Jiang Qin nodded repeatedly.

However, Lu Xuan was thinking to himself.

It seems we're short-handed.

We need to look around and see if we can find some reliable bodyguards, preferably women.

After all, Jiang Qin herself doesn't place much importance on martial arts training.

His martial arts skills are somewhat lacking.

When you have free time, you can also go to Jiang Qin's shop to set up a formation.

However, Lu Xuan thought about it and realized that this would only cause more trouble and attract the attention of some unnecessary people.

We'll talk about it when we're stronger.

Anyway, the incense tree is connected to several people now, so if Lu Xuan is in danger, he can come to his aid in time.

"Moon, Rain, how's your cultivation going these past few days?"

Dinner ended in this ordinary, everyday manner.

Liu Qingxue changed into her night clothes very quickly.

Lu Xuan took out the note.

"Hmm... Tianhui Garden in the east of the city."
