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

Li Wei had just left, full of enthusiasm.

Xu Jing then slipped into the small courtyard and pounced on Lu Xuan like an octopus.

"How is it, sir? Are you satisfied with my arrangements?"

Xu Jing smiled radiantly, her expression suggesting she had some good news.

"Satisfied, very satisfied."

"You look so radiant, is there some good news?"

Lu Xuan chuckled.

Of course, she knew that Xu Jing was largely responsible for Li Wei's performance.

Without Xu Jing's guidance, Li Wei might not have been able to employ so many methods to win Lu Xuan's favor.

"The master noticed that."

"Black Dragon just sent word that they've already secured all the goods from Xiping County in the Seven Clouds Mountains!"

Xu Jing's eyes lit up, sparkling with a lively light, and she grinned at Lu Xuan.

The gloating expression on his face didn't seem fake at all.

"Oh?"

"They were pretty quick."

"It seems this black dragon does indeed have some skill."

Lu Xuan nodded slightly, indicating his approval of the black dragon.

After all, this job looks simple, but it actually requires a certain amount of courage.

Otherwise, who would dare to touch Jin Guang Men's goods?

However, in the eyes of the Golden Light Sect, this batch of goods has not yet been delivered to their hands, and they will not acknowledge it.

I won't pay the money, but I absolutely need the items, and the compensation is absolutely unacceptable.

The Golden Light Sect never expected that such a good thing would happen to them.

This batch of golden thread grass was only supplied to the disciples of the Golden Light Sect for use in their training.

It's not some life-saving herb.

They have plenty of time to settle this score with your Guyun Pharmacy.

After all, there was a prior agreement regarding this order.

If you fail to complete the order or deliver it on time, cooperation is cooperation, and relationship is relationship, but you must pay compensation, not a penny less.

After the Black Dragon Gang acquired these medicinal herbs...

Alternatively, the goods could be sold to Xu Jing at a low price, and then Xu Jing could resell them to the Jin Guang Men.

Even if you know we're in cahoots, there's nothing you can do about it.

The work was done as usual, but a different family came to collect the money.

Furthermore, even if headquarters finds out about this, they will only praise your Guyun Pharmacy in Jinyuan City.

After all, it was Jinyuan City that handled this matter.

It was you people from Xiping County who messed things up.

"Now Xue Zhongfa is in a real mess. It seems there were some underhanded dealings between Jin Guang Men and Xue Zhongfa, and now disagreements have arisen between them."

Xu Jing chuckled.

This move was truly brilliant.

"Xue Zhongfa is just a minor character. We'll see how this Black Dragon fares. If he's useful and knows what's good for him, we can make use of him."

Lu Xuan nodded and said.

This black dragon is also a very ambitious fellow.

Most importantly, this person is pragmatic.

Many people have ambitions, but whether they can recognize the times and act accordingly is the key point that Lu Xuan is looking for.

And people like this also need to be controlled.

Otherwise, even if you nurture him well, it's common for him to turn around and bite you back.

Therefore, we must have ways to deal with it.

But for now, as long as Lu Xuan, this big tree, doesn't fall.

Then this guy wouldn't dare to be too arrogant.

However, Lu Xuan did not expect that the other party would actually dare to rob the Guyun Pharmacy in Xiping County.

It seems that the black dragon also harbors resentment towards Xue Zhongfa and the others.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have acted so decisively.

Fortunately, the action was effective.

Nothing went wrong.

Xu Jing came specifically to tell Lu Xuan this news.

Since there was good news to report, Lu Xuan rewarded Xu Jing handsomely.

Xu Jing had assumed that Lu Xuan had already been drained dry by Li Wei.

But to everyone's surprise, Lu Xuan was still as fierce as a tiger, and almost completely devoured Xu Jing.

This made Xu Jing sigh, Lu Xuan was really too fierce.

If Xu Jing hadn't used every trick in the book, it really wouldn't have been easy to win over Lu Xuan.

It's not that we actually won it over, we just took it out.

It was refreshing.

"Are the pills you refined last time enough?"

Lu Xuan asked.

Although I refined some pills last time, this is a very important moment, and I can't do without pill resources.

"That's enough, that's enough..."

"Of course, sir, if you wish to give more, that is also possible."

Xu Jing said in a sweet, coquettish voice.

"Give it back! I already gave you so much, aren't you satisfied?"

Lu Xuan teased.

"Master, you're so bad..."

Upon hearing Lu Xuan's teasing, Xu Jing immediately started throwing a flurry of small, pink fists.

"Hehe... Alright, enough joking. Have someone send me more medicinal herbs later, and I'll make time to refine them."

Lu Xuan said.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jing immediately beamed with joy. This was one of the benefits of having a fourth-grade alchemist as a patron.

Of course, only Lu Xuan could achieve this effect with this alchemist.

After all, the alchemy skills that Lu Xuan has demonstrated are definitely not those of an ordinary fourth-grade alchemist.

"Alright, I'll arrange for someone to send it over as soon as I get back. Thank you for your hard work, Master."

Xu Jing also came over to give Lu Xuan a back and leg massage, looking quite professional.

Lu Xuan was amused by Xu Jing's silly antics.

This girl is quite clever and mischievous.

The two then chatted for a while longer, until evening, when they reluctantly got out of bed.

"Sir, I've booked this guesthouse long-term."

"The owners of this guesthouse have now gone on a trip around the mainland."

"You can come and rest whenever you want."

Xu Jing said.

"Hmm, that was well done."

Lu Xuan nodded.

After all, this courtyard is comfortable to stay in, and there's no need to go to inns, as those places are always crowded and noisy.

There's no need to waste money buying it; how much can you ask for in a long-term contract?

As dusk fell, Lu Xuan and Xu Jing walked to the Ancient Cloud Pharmacy.

Given their relationship, there's no need to be too secretive about this.

The relationship between the two was not simple in the eyes of outsiders, so there was no need to hide it.

Xu Jing didn't feel ashamed or anything like that.

On the contrary, she was very enthusiastic, even a little proud, as she took Lu Xuan's hand. Coincidentally, just as the two arrived at Gu Yun Pharmacy, they bumped into Wen Lan running out.

"Ah? Master Lu, the steward."

When Wen Lan saw Lu Xuan, the image that had been lingering in her mind for the past few days instantly came back to her.

Her face instantly turned bright red.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xu Jing remained calm.

After all, she knew perfectly well that Wen Lan in front of her could not possibly escape Lu Xuan's clutches.

Even if she manages to escape, Xu Jing will do everything in her power to deliver Wen Lan into Lu Xuan's hands.

Hehe, this way we can increase our own influence.

"Reporting to the master..."

"I was just about to come find you..."

"The city lord's mansion has ordered us to gather physicians and pharmacists at the city lord's mansion..."

"It seems like this is quite a serious matter."
