"Little junior, how did you end up like that scoundrel fox and become a shrewd businessman too?" Orange said helplessly.
Huo Yuhao glanced at Ye Nanxiao, then unceremoniously put away the two Sun Crystals. With a flick of his right hand, the emerald green Life Blade appeared in his hand.
The emerald light flashed across the Earth Core Forging Stone and then disappeared into Huo Yuhao's hand.
"Half for you, half for me, Muddy, how about I put it away for you and keep it safe for you? You must be having trouble keeping it while you're driving, right?" Huo Yuhao grinned.
Ye Nanxiao glanced at Huo Yuhao, wondering why he sounded so smug.
Orange reached out and took half of the Earth Core Forging Stone from Huo Yuhao's hand, patted the smooth cut surface, and said, "That bastard fox has already given me this piece as payment."
Upon hearing this, Ye Nanxiao said with a sullen face, "At least leave me one-third!"
"Sure, why don't you sincerely call me 'senior'?" Orange's eyebrows curved, her eyes full of laughter.
"What, didn't you hear enough before?" Ye Nanxiao clicked his tongue.
"It's different this time, it has to be full of emotion!" Orange walked to Ye Nanxiao's side and waved the Earth Core Forging Stone in front of Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao made a move instantly, his right hand turning into a blur as he put away the Earth Core Forging Stone.
"You damn fox!"
Half a day later, at the entrance of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy.
Xuan Ziwen looked at the four people in front of him who seemed to have just returned from shopping, and his lips twitched slightly.
Orange was holding two foxes, one big and one small, while Keke and Huo Yuhao each held snacks in their hands.
Ye Nanxiao was holding a large bucket of chicken wings. He took one out and handed it to Xuan Ziwen. "It's been so long, I've missed you so much, Old Xuan. Want one?"
Xuan Ziwen opened his mouth but didn't say anything. In the end, he reached out and took the chicken wings, leading the four of them back to his laboratory at a fast pace.
"Teacher, the experimental data is all in here." Ju Zi handed a soul guide recorder to Xuan Ziwen.
Xuan Ziwen quickly finished the chicken wing in his hand in two bites, wiped his hands, took the soul guide recorder, and carefully examined it.
As Xuan Ziwen reviewed the data from the recorder, his expression gradually filled with doubt. He looked up and asked, "This data, are you serious?"
"Can the all-terrain soul-guided detector be used for melee combat? And can the mechanical legs be used as spears?"
Orange blinked, picked up the two foxes, one big and one small, and quickly slipped away. "I've been out in the wind for so long, I'm going back to take a shower first, and I'll come back to report to the teacher after I eat!"
Seeing this, Keke jogged to catch up with Ju Zi.
"These strange data, were they your suggestion?" Xuan Ziwen asked, staring at Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao waved his hand and laughed, "We had some extra time, so we tested a few other items. By the way, next time I suggest adding a suspension device to the all-terrain detection soul guide, otherwise it will make people carsick when activating emergency escape."
"Alright, alright, as long as the main test results are available, that's fine. At first, I was worried that you might dismantle this all-terrain soul guide detector, and I even made a bet with the Red Dust Hall Master. Fortunately, I still trust you." Xuan Ziwen glanced at the data on the soul guide recorder and said with satisfaction.
"Jing Hongchen mentioned me?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
Xuan Ziwen nodded and smiled, "Jing Hongchen has a lot of information about you. I think he's very sincere in inviting you to become his grandson-in-law. What do you think? Half of Mingde Hall as Meng Hongchen's dowry, aren't you tempted?"
Half of Mingde Hall! That's the most advanced soul tool laboratory on the entire continent!
Huo Yuhao's eyes widened, he swallowed hard, and looked at Ye Nanxiao with a strange light in his eyes.
If I marry Ye Nanxiao off, will I be able to have a top-notch laboratory in the future?
After all, I deserve credit for this wedding!
Seeing Huo Yuhao's obviously odd expression, Ye Nanxiao said irritably, "Can't you come up with a better idea? Are you trying to be nice to me? Won't your sisters-in-law break your legs when we get back?"
"Hehe, Muddy, I believe in your manly spirit and your dominant position in the family!" Huo Yuhao rubbed his hands together. "I have a research project that requires a piece of Skywood. It's not much, just the size of my palm will do, but this stuff is priceless and hard to find, which is quite a headache!"
"It is indeed a case of high price but no market, but I think if you are willing to sell your brother, there are still quite a few resources among the noble families, especially those noble ladies who attend tea parties every day." A rare, frivolous smile appeared on Xuan Ziwen's face.
Ye Nanxiao rolled his eyes at the shameless teacher and student pair, waved his hand, and walked towards the door. "It's rare for me to be back, so I need to get some rest. Don't call me unless it's absolutely necessary!"
After leaving the laboratory, Ye Nanxiao walked back to the living area to rest.
At the Aodu Building, Ye Nanxiao flew straight into his office on floating ice.
Lying on the recliner, Ye Nanxiao pressed several pager buttons under the table.
After a short while, Li Yuanren, who was now even more "robust," pushed open the door and walked in.
"Boss, it's been so long! I've missed you terribly!" Li Yuanren said with a fawning smile.
Ye Nanxiao waved his hand.
Knowing his boss's personality, Li Yuanren took out a report and placed it on the table, saying, "This is the Chamber of Commerce's recent major projects and profit figures, as well as the new revenue from its affiliated assassin guild."
"Has the Xishui Alliance made any big moves recently?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
Upon hearing the mention of the Xi Shui Alliance, Li Yuanren's expression immediately turned pained.
"Those tycoons of the Xishui Alliance! They've been up to no good in their underhanded dealings! Not only have they been secretly messing with the various businesses under the Chamber of Commerce, but they've also extended their reach beyond Mingdu!" Li Yuanren's small eyes burned with the flames of hatred.
Taking his money is like holding a knife to his throat.
"Those rats that cause trouble in the shadows will never amount to anything. You can make a bigger splash with your next operation, but don't get caught," Ye Nanxiao said after quickly finishing reading the documents in his hand.
The underhanded tactics of the Xishui Alliance still caused the Chamber of Commerce to suffer a considerable loss, but fortunately, it did not damage its fixed interests.
"After Quan and Xin arrived at the Chamber of Commerce, what actions did they take?" Ye Nanxiao asked about Feng Shiyi.
Li Yuanren's expression changed instantly, turning resentful.
Upon seeing Li Yuanren's sudden change in expression, Ye Nanxiao's eyes widened beneath his mask, and goosebumps instantly rose on his skin.
A fat man weighing over 200 pounds gave you a resentful look. That was a creature that even Uncle Ying would have to shake his head and say he couldn't beat!
"Boss! I, Li Yuanren, have worked diligently and tirelessly for the Chamber of Commerce! I entrusted my entire life and fortune to you long ago! My conscience tells me I have done right by the Chamber of Commerce!" Li Yuanren cried out.
Ye Nanxiao placed his hands on the table. Although he didn't understand what was going on with Li Yuanren, he figured it was probably related to Feng Shiyi.
"Alright, be serious!" Ye Nanxiao said helplessly.
Li Yuanren wiped away his tears and asked, feeling wronged, "Boss, what did I do wrong? Why do I have two more superiors?"
Ye Nanxiao shook his head and said, "You didn't do anything wrong. On the contrary, you did quite well. They just came to take over the new department within the Chamber of Commerce. Their authority doesn't conflict much with yours, but you'll still need to cooperate when necessary."
Upon hearing that his authority had not been stripped or taken away, Li Yuanren immediately stopped feeling dejected, and the fawning smile returned to his face.
A soft laugh rang out.
Li Yuanren immediately turned his head, his small eyes narrowing into slits.
Standing in the corner, Wang Yu quickly resumed his poker face, seriously treating himself as if he were invisible.
Ye Nanxiao watched this scene unfold, a slight smile curving his lips.
Although Li Yuanren had many ulterior motives in private, he was more emotionally invested in the Aodu Chamber of Commerce than anyone else.
There was a slight knock on the door.
Li Yuanren straightened his clothes, and his face regained the dignified expression of a chairman.
Wang Yu opened the door.
Feng Shiyi and Lan Yuning walked in.
"Has my dear boss finally remembered that he transferred two employees? Or is he so engrossed in his newfound wealth that he's ready to become a hands-off boss?" Feng Shiyi said coldly.
Li Yuanren and Wang Yu, who was squatting in the corner, both opened their eyes wide.
Is the new guy really that bold? His first words upon opening the door were to mock the boss?
That makes a lot of sense!
The sound of swallowing saliva was especially noticeable in the quiet room.
Li Yuanren shifted his feet slightly, moving a little further away from Feng Shiyi. In Li Yuanren's mind, Ye Nanxiao was not a merciful person, so he had to stay away from this newcomer to avoid getting blood splattered on him later.
"Ahem, what gentle haven? I, the boss, also have plenty to do!" Ye Nanxiao coughed lightly, his tone filled with helplessness.
It seems like I'm the boss, right? Why am I inexplicably losing face in front of Feng Shiyi?
It's definitely not because I've always been a hands-off boss!
Li Yuanren and Wang Yu blinked at the same time, then rubbed their eyes.
What's going on?
A huge question mark appeared above Li Yuanren and Wang Yu's heads. What did they see? The boss wasn't angry at all?
"Could it be that these two newcomers are masters?" Wang Yu was startled. Although Feng Shiyi and Lan Yuning were wearing masks and disguises, judging from their figures, their faces must be beautiful.
"I've never heard of the boss having a woman he likes. It seems I've failed in my duty!" Wang Yu sighed regretfully. He had indeed failed in his duty.
Ignoring the expressions on Li Yuanren and Wang Yu's faces, Ye Nanxiao leaned back in his chair and asked, "Is this place manageable?"
Feng Shiyi nodded slightly.
Lan Yuning continued, "We have taken full control of the assassin guilds that have recently joined the Chamber of Commerce. The middle management has been replaced by our people. With generous gifts, one-third of the small and medium-sized forces in Mingdu have secretly defected to the Chamber of Commerce."
"The Xi Shui Alliance has taken action against us, but on the surface, Shangguan Wei'er is the one who is restraining them. We have also found out that the Xi Shui Alliance is currently in charge of targeting us with minimal losses. Nangong Wan will absolutely obey Yan Feng's orders."
"As for whether the small and medium-sized forces that have just joined the assassin guild should be treated as our main force, that awaits your instructions, boss."
Lan Yuning looked at Ye Nanxiao with a smile.
These two girls have already accomplished so much? Completely controlling the newly joined assassin guild under their command—it seems this task was assigned to Li Yuanren, right?
Ye Nanxiao glanced at Li Yuanren, who was staring blankly at the bottom of his head. No wonder this guy had been complaining like a little grump earlier. It turns out that his tasks had all been done by others, and he was afraid of being dismissed, right?
