Chapter 242 Mirror Red Dust's Invitation
After temporarily entrusting the matter of Qiu Wu and the other two to Chu Ying, Ye Nanxiao got busy.
Although the official explanation given by the Aodu Chamber of Commerce was to purge traitors from within the guild, after An Litong's death, some assassin and thief guilds that had been obedient out of fear of An Litong's methods began to harbor ulterior motives and secretly plotted to take a piece of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.
After handing over the Aodu Chamber of Commerce to Ye Nanxiao, Ju Zi ignored everything else and focused on handling various matters within the royal family.
As long as the Aodu Chamber of Commerce can continue to pay a huge amount of deposit to the Sun and Moon Imperial Palace, they will not care what the Aodu Chamber of Commerce does in the underworld.
Even Xu Tianran's attitude was the same: as long as they obeyed, it didn't matter who the president of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce was.
This gave Ye Nanxiao ample time to firmly grasp the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.
The sweeping reforms within the Aoto Chamber of Commerce directly impacted the interests of the key advisors and judges.
Fortunately, since becoming the president, Li Yuanren's heart has been captured by Ye Nanxiao's grand blueprint, and he reluctantly spent a lot of resources from his wallet.
Upon seeing the new treatment for the top-tier referees, the referees who had previously considered leaving immediately became obedient, and even the veteran referee guarding Arena No. 1 became more diligent.
Of the ten squad leaders who controlled the trading channels, only the oldest ones chose to remain loyal to the Aodu Chamber of Commerce. The rest were persuaded by Li Yuanren's silver tongue, and two of them even declared that their lives belonged to the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.
This gave Ye Nanxiao a completely new understanding of Li Yuanren.
So the best salespeople are actually misers?
In Xuan Ziwen's laboratory.
Huo Yuhao, acting as the porter, followed behind Ju Zi, carrying documents that were taller than his head.
"Thank you for your hard work, little junior. Just put it on that table over there," Orange said.
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, placed the large stack of documents on top, clapped his hands, turned to Ju Zi, and asked, "Senior Ju Zi, um, have you seen my brother?"
Ju Zi was pleased to hear Huo Yuhao call her "senior sister" and nodded in satisfaction. She glanced at the clock on the wall and laughed, "I wonder what that fox has gone off to do this time. Maybe you'll see the teacher dragging him over himself later."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao looked puzzled.
"Drag? What does that mean? Could it be that my brother is up to his old tricks again? He keeps saying he's a lazy bum but is actually secretly developing soul tools?" Huo Yuhao's thoughts continued to wander.
The laboratory door opened, and Huo Yuhao hurriedly walked out and turned to look at the doorway. He had a lot of secretly copied core array sequences of soul tools that he wanted to discuss with Ye Nanxiao.
As a result, Ye Nanxiao was either nowhere to be seen or was engrossed in researching inside the soul tool, so Huo Yuhao had several opportunities to speak but didn't get a chance.
Keke, with her hair tied in pigtails, ran in carrying a small soul-guided cannon. She jogged all the way to Ju Zi's side and went straight past Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao's ears and eyes were instantly drawn to the small soul-guided cannon behind Ke Ke. He could tell that the style of the small soul-guided cannon was made by Ye Nanxiao, and it was a soul-guided weapon modified from Tang Sect hidden weapons.
His spiritual power instantly spread out, and a faint golden light flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes.
Ju Zi felt the soul tool "Fox" that she kept close to her body suddenly tremble, and she immediately became extremely alert. She scanned her surroundings and finally her gaze landed on Huo Yuhao.
Unaware of Orange's slightly serious expression, Keke excitedly exclaimed, "Orange, Orange, look what I'm carrying!"
After saying that, Keke took the soul-guided cannon from behind her and waved it in front of Ju Zi, her pretty face full of excitement.
Ju Zi glanced at Huo Yuhao, then slapped Ke Ke's head. "Stop shaking her! Your eyes are going to get blurry!"
"Hehe, this small soul-guided cannon is the teacher's latest research achievement. Not only is its power comparable to that of soul-guided cannons of the same series, but it also has a charging mode with two charging modes!" Keke's eyes were full of love.
Upon hearing the words "charging mode," Huo Yuhao asked, "Senior Ke Ke, where did you obtain this soul tool?"
Keke turned to look at Huo Yuhao. His tall stature and still somewhat youthful face made Keke curiously take a second look.
"You must be the new exchange student from Shrek Academy, right? You look pretty big. Since you call me 'senior,' then I'll tell you, I got this from the teacher at a great cost!" Keke said proudly, holding the Soul Guidance Cannon in her arms, her eyes closed and her head slightly raised.
Ju Zi gave Huo Yuhao a meaningful look, pointed towards the door, and said, "I guess you'll know the answer if you ask these two."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao turned around and saw Xuan Ziwen, whose hair was still as messy as a bird's nest, walking in while pulling a small cart. On the cart was a leaf fox.
"It's up to you now, wake him up quickly!" Xuan Ziwen freed a hand to comb his hair and tossed Ye Nanxiao to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched slightly. He remembered that Ye Nanxiao had a bad temper when he woke up. In the past, he, Xu Sanshi, and Shen Ciyuan had often tried to stop Ye Nanxiao from sleeping in, and the result was that all three of them were dragged to the Soul Fighting Zone by Ye Nanxiao and given a good beating.
It's estimated that only his two sisters-in-law could get Ye Nanxiao out of bed peacefully.
"Why don't we let him continue sleeping?" Huo Yuhao suggested sincerely.
Ju Zi rolled her eyes at Huo Yuhao, walked over to Ye Nanxiao, squatted down, waved her hand to conjure a purple-skinned orange, and threw it hard, hitting Ye Nanxiao on the head.
Sensing the attack, Ye Nanxiao instantly woke up.
The orange condensed into a purple-skinned orange again, and just as Ye Nanxiao opened his mouth, it was stuffed into his mouth.
"Idiot fox, wake up!" Orange slapped Ye Nanxiao on the head.
Huo Yuhao, standing to the side, stared in disbelief at Ju Zi's series of actions and quietly took two steps back.
Upon seeing that the person in front of him was a master of manipulation, Ye Nanxiao immediately came to his senses and reached out to press his storage ring.
He didn't want to be extorted by Ju Zi again. Ju Xiaohan's talent for extortion was beyond his imagination. Often, while he was extorting money, a portion of his private savings would be taken away instead.
Muttering curses under his breath, Ye Nanxiao picked up the purple-skinned orange that had been thrown at him, rubbed his eyes, and walked over to his soul guidance experiment table to lie down.
"Onii-chan, wake up! What's with that Soul Guidance Cannon?" Huo Yuhao scratched his head and whispered in Ye Nanxiao's ear.
"That thing was made by Lao Xuan after watching my production process for a few days. Apart from being a little less powerful and having a shorter range, and needing to be charged with soul power, it's not much different. Lao Xuan is a real Nascent Soul maniac, keeping me up all night." Ye Nanxiao cursed in a low voice.
Huo Yuhao was shocked to hear this. Just by watching Ye Nanxiao's production process, he was able to imitate and create it himself. His talent for creating soul tools was truly amazing!
"No wonder Onii-chan included Teacher Xuan Ziwen in his list of plans to recruit her to a sect." Huo Yuhao put his right hand on his left and his right hand on his chin, thinking about how to recruit Xuan Ziwen as soon as possible, no, how to get her to work at the Tang Sect.
After tidying himself up, Xuan Ziwen took a pointer and lashed Ye Nanxiao twice before beginning today's lesson.
Beside them, a soul tool shaped like a crystal ball the size of a human head was recording Xuan Ziwen's lectures, so that Zi Mu and the other person, who were in seclusion, could keep up with the course progress.
Just as Xuan Ziwen was halfway through his lecture, the token in his arms suddenly vibrated.
Xuan Ziwen put down his teaching pointer and took out his token to check it.
After glancing at it only once, Xuan Ziwen put away the token and looked towards the doorway.
"I'm so sorry, Teacher Xuan, for disturbing your class." Jing Hongchen walked in slowly with his hands behind his back.
Upon seeing Jing Hongchen, Xuan Ziwen frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes, and asked, "Hall Master, what brings you here?"
Jing Hongchen smiled, pointed to Ye Nanxiao sitting next to the orange and fiddling with the core magic array, and said, "This old man came here to see young friend Ye."
Upon hearing Jing Hongchen call his name, Ye Nanxiao looked at Xuan Ziwen, who nodded.
"What business does the Hall Master have with me?" Ye Nanxiao asked as he approached Jing Hongchen.
He didn't recall ever dealing with this seasoned veteran, He Jinghongchen, and the other party's purpose was currently unknown.
"Hehe, I am here as the head of Mingde Hall to invite young friend Ye to study at Mingde Hall starting today. Young friend Ye's grades have already met the learning standards of Mingde Hall, and I came here as soon as I received the news." Jing Hongchen said with a gentle smile, his words implying that he valued Ye Nanxiao very much.
Ye Nanxiao raised an eyebrow slightly. He remembered that the exam time for Shrek's exchange students was still far away, and he himself did not have any test results. What did the other party mean by "results"?
"In that case, I am deeply honored that the head of Mingde Hall has personally come to invite me," Ye Nanxiao said.
Jing Hongchen nodded with a smile and said, "Then, young friend Ye, please prepare to report to Mingde Hall?"
Ye Nanxiao didn't think about it carefully and nodded in agreement.
Having received Ye Nanxiao's reply, Jing Hongchen nodded to Xuan Ziwen and Ju Zi before turning and leaving.
"Old Xuan, did you secretly grade me? I don't remember taking the exam," Ye Nanxiao asked.
Xuan Ziwen glared at Ye Nanxiao and said, "No! I'm being lenient by not deducting points from your score! What? You're not happy about going to Mingde Hall, are you?"
Ye Nanxiao shrugged. His original plan was to settle things with the Aodu Chamber of Commerce before entering Mingde Hall to study with Huo Yuhao and Caitou. But now it seemed that he was too outstanding and had attracted Jing Hongchen's attention.
Ju Zi glanced at Ye Nanxiao, but her mind was no longer on Xuan Ziwen's teaching.
Despite being the head of Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen treated Ye Nanxiao with unusual friendliness. As Xu Tianran's most capable ally, she was well aware of the reasons behind this.
Ju Zi sensed something was amiss when Jing Hongchen personally came to invite Ye Nanxiao into Mingde Hall.
As Ye Nanxiao's ally, Orange still intended to give Ye Nanxiao a reminder.
"Jing Hongchen has come looking for you personally. Be careful; that old fox has a lot on his mind." Ju Zi said telepathically using her soul power.
Ye Nanxiao nodded, and also transmitted his voice using his soul power, "Don't worry, I'm a fox too. No matter how cunning Jing Hongchen is, can he be as cunning as you? You're one of the few people who can snatch treasures from my hands. Why don't you become a fox too?"
Upon hearing this, Ju Zi glared at Ye Nanxiao with annoyance, gave a soft snort, and ignored him.
"Would you like some fruit? I haven't had breakfast."
A certain chubby little orange, who had made up his mind to ignore Ye Huli, tossed two purple oranges over.
Mingde Hall.
After Zi Jing Hongchen returned to Mingde Hall, the hall, which had been filled with the sounds of machines running and researchers discussing, instantly fell silent.
An oppressive atmosphere emanated from Jing Hongchen.
All the researchers slowed down, stopped arguing, and left only the sound of the machines running, for fear of angering Jing Hongchen.
"What's wrong with the sect leader?" Lin Jiayi's face twitched a couple of times. After thinking it over, he decided to let Jing Hongchen calm down by himself first.
With a gloomy expression, Jing Hongchen crushed the communication soul tool in his hand, his eyes filled with intense self-reproach.
He received a special message from the teacher in charge of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy: Meng Hongchen's cold poison had flared up again. If Ye Nanxiao hadn't intervened, he would probably have owed Shrek Academy a huge favor.
"Damn it, I clearly suppressed the cold poison in Meng'er's body beforehand, why did it still erupt in such a short time?" Jing Hongchen closed his eyes in pain.
"Ye Nanxiao, Ye Nanxiao! I can't wait any longer!" Jing Hongchen suddenly opened his eyes and reached out to press the ring with the chain symbol.
"I never expected Ye Nanxiao to have left a clone at Shrek Academy!"
