Chapter 13 Don’t bully a young girl into being poor

……

"call!"

The handsome young man exhaled a breath of foul air and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Uncle, I have never tried to travel 500 miles in one day. I am exhausted."

This young man is naturally Chen Jingyun.

They flew for more than three hours, plus a one and a half hour rest in between, a total of nearly five hours!
"Haha, that's because you live too comfortably on weekdays, so you're used to traveling long distances." Fourth uncle Chen Daoyuan said jokingly, "When I was at your level of cultivation, it always took only one day to travel from the market to home. Although we had to rest three times in between, we never stayed out overnight."

"Mr. Chen, don't be anxious. Things will be much better once you break through to the Lingquan realm." Wang Qianqian put on a smile and tried hard to please.

"..."

Chen Jingyun's face darkened again.

You keep showing off your "Lingquan Realm" and "Lingquan Realm" all day long. Are you mocking me for being stuck at the peak bottleneck of "Xuanqiao Realm"?
While talking.

The lean guard and his colleagues had come forward, each with a fawning look on their faces, and they saluted respectfully to Chen Daoyuan: "Greetings, sir."

As the representative of the Chen family in Sheshan Market, Chen Daoyuan served as the head of the market and was a powerful figure.

To these market guards, he is naturally a high-ranking figure.

He waved his hand in response to the guard's greeting.

"Meet Master Jingyun."

The guard saluted Chen Jingyun again.

Chen Jingyun is only nineteen years old. Although he seldom comes to the market, he is the direct descendant of the Chen family and has the qualifications of four spiritual roots. It is rumored that he is the next generation successor of the Chen family. He is very famous in the immortal cultivation world of the Southern Five Guards, and the guards are no strangers to him.

"Thank you for your hard work, brothers." Chen Jingyun returned the greeting politely.

As the face of the younger generation of the Chen family, he should be graceful and well-mannered.

"It's not hard, it's not hard." The guards nodded and bowed, "This is our duty."

After a few casual greetings, Chen Jingyun and the other two entered the maze under the respectful gaze of the guards. Among them, Wang Qianqian walked with great vigor, which seemed like a fox borrowing the power of a tiger to bully others.

Wait until people leave.

Shang Jianzhou then asked in a low voice: "Big brother, why is that young man so impressive? Who is he?"

As he spoke, he secretly slipped a bag of gold over.

The thin guard secretly weighed the bag, and the expression on his face immediately relaxed.

Quietly putting the bag into his arms, he glanced at Shang Jianzhou and said with a hint of pride, "I'll teach you a lesson. In the Southern Five Guards, there are three major immortal cultivation families. This market is a joint venture of the three families."

"And that Master Jingyun is the representative of the younger generation of the Cangyi Chen Clan. He is very likely to become a hero in the foundation-building stage in the future."

"By the way, do you know the foundation-building stage?"

Shang Jianzhou shook his head and said modestly: "I hope you can give me some advice."

"He is a truly great man, with a lifespan of two hundred years, and he can fly and hide underground."

"Innate warriors like you and me are like ants in front of the Foundation Establishment Stage. They can turn into ashes in a moment."

The skinny guard introduced with saliva at the mouth, and his smug expression was as if he was the high and mighty Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Shang Jianzhou was horrified when he heard this, and his eyes were filled with anxiety.

And at this time.

Chen Jingyun and his three companions passed through the maze and arrived inside the market town.

Sheshan Market is not big and is mainly divided into two parts: East Market and West Street.

The East Market is an area similar to a square with many stalls.

However, there are not many people on weekdays, with an average of only about ten to twenty stalls per day.

As the Sheshan gathering was approaching, many independent practitioners and traveling merchants came from far away to set up stalls in the past few days, and the place gradually became lively.

West Street is much more upscale, with many shops along the street rented to businesses with stronger financial strength.

The three major immortal cultivation families, including the Chen family, also have their own shops and strongholds in the market town.

Chen's shop, Jintai Building, is located in a prime location on West Street.

On weekdays, Chen Daoyuan is stationed here, guarding Jintai Tower for the family and serving as the family's representative in Fangshi.

Wang Qianqian originally wanted to go to Jintailou to have a free meal.

But who knew that as soon as she entered the market, a young man of about sixteen or seventeen would run towards her, his face full of panic: "Sister Qianqian, you are finally back! Manager Zhao is in our store with his men, saying that he wants to use the materials in the store as collateral for the rent and kick you out of the market."

"He dares!"

Wang Qianqian was startled and ran away with the young man in rage.

After she left.

Chen Daoyuan glanced at his nephew with a half-smile and said, "Jingyun, why don't you go with us? If you can help, Miss Qianqian will definitely like you better."

"The market has its own rules, how can I interfere?" Chen Jingyun shook his head and said, "Besides, Wang Qianqian is very cunning, who knows if she is trying to drag me into this?" Chen Daoyuan couldn't help but laugh: "You are so straightforward, I'm afraid you won't be able to find a wife in a short time." Although there are marriages in the world of immortal cultivation, they also require that the two parties like each other and will not force marriage.

"Uncle, you're joking." Chen Jingyun was a little embarrassed. "I'm only nineteen years old now. My goal is to quickly break through the peak of the third level of Qi Refining and reach the fourth level!"

The uncle and nephew walked away chatting and laughing.

We passed through the Fangshi Archway and walked along the bluestone road until we arrived in front of Jintai Tower.

Those three large golden characters written in a flamboyant style were written by his great-grandfather Chen Xuanmo himself, implying "a prosperous family and a peaceful clan."

Seeing the object reminded him of the person, and Chen Jingyun's expression couldn't help but darken slightly.

At this time.

When several shop assistants saw Chen Jingyun and his nephew arriving, they hurriedly put down their work and bowed respectfully.

Another fat shopkeeper came out from behind the counter and said, "Fourth Master, you are finally back."

"Hey, Master Jingyun, you are here too."

The fat shopkeeper is named Chen Enze, a descendant of Chen Ningde, the second son of Chen Xuanmo.

Because Chen Ningde had no spiritual roots, his descendants could only become side branches of the family. They could not use the family generation name, were not included in the Chen family tree, and were not qualified to enter the family ancestral hall.

Even at Chen Xuanmo's funeral, he could only go there as a maid.

Unless any offspring of a side branch has his spiritual root aptitude tested at the age of eight, he will be qualified to be brought into the main lineage.

This is not because Chen is cold-blooded and heartless, but because this is the rule of the entire world of immortal cultivation.

However, although they do not have the qualifications to cultivate immortality, there are actually many outstanding talents among the side branches. For example, Chen Enze has been smart and studious since childhood. After being well trained, he entered the Chen family's industry and played a role.

"Enze, arrange for Jingyun to stay first. There is no need to worry about other things." Chen Daoyuan ordered calmly.

"Yes, Fourth Master."

Chen Enze took the order and called two smart servants to go and clean up the yard for Chen Jingyun.

Jintai Building has a layout of a shop in front and a yard in the back. There are several courtyards behind the shop, which are quite large. The Chen family’s children usually stay here when they come to the market, and this time is no exception.

Silent all night.

The next day.

After a night's rest, Chen Jingyun was ready to go out in high spirits and stroll around the market town.

But before he left, he was stopped by Chen Daoyuan: "Jingyun, I have already agreed with Baibao Pavilion last night that you go and get a beast control ring. The price is sixteen spirit stones."

As he spoke, Chen Daoyuan counted out sixteen spirit stones and gave them to him.

"Fourth uncle, I have some private money and can pay the spirit stones myself." Chen Jingyun quickly refused.

He knew that the family was facing difficulties and needed to save money everywhere.

"You kid." Chen Daoyuan scolded with a smile, "We in the Chen family don't lack these two spirit stones. Besides, you raise locusts to drive away insects and beasts for the family's spirit fields. The expenses must be paid through public funds. How can we let you pay with your own pocket money?"

"Alright~ I know you want to share the family's worries, but if you really do this, how will other members of the family deal with similar situations?"

"What Fourth Uncle taught me is that Jingyun was not thoughtful enough." Chen Jingyun accepted the advice humbly, took the spirit stone and went to the Treasure Pavilion.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xuanmo hesitated for a moment, but still followed Jing Yun.

He knew that Daoyuan would definitely go to the managers of the other two companies to discuss the redistribution of interests in the market town, so he was deliberately trying to get Chen Jingyun away.

He wanted to help, but unfortunately, the profit distribution plan of the market town was to be determined over ten years, and the amount of money involved was quite large. It would be difficult to influence the result with the existing amount of purple energy in the lucky bead.

It would be better to follow Jing Yun, maybe we can find other opportunities to turn the situation around.

Not long.

Chen Jingyun passed by a remote place on West Street.

Suddenly, a familiar female voice came from the front.

"Manager Zhao, take care. Don't worry, I will make a fortune this time when the market opens to pay off the rent!"

Chen Jingyun looked up and saw Wang Qianqian, who was wearing a white dress, escorting a chubby shopkeeper out of the door of a shop in front of him in a flattering manner.

"Humph!"

The chubby shopkeeper still had a bit of impatience on his face, his tone was cold and his attitude was arrogant: "Wang Qianqian, this is your last chance, I hope you will do what you say."

"sure!"

After finally sending the fat steward named Zhao away, the fawning smile on Wang Qianqian's face immediately disappeared.

She never thought that the three spirit stones she had earned from Chen Jingyun with great difficulty would be gone just like that after being in her pocket for less than a day.

She clenched her fists, feeling heartbroken and unable to control herself: "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. You Zhao man, don't bully a poor young girl."

"When I, Wang Qianqian, become a puppet master in the weapon refining world one day, I will make you regret your decision."
