XIAO SHUXIANG'S

148 - They I Elect Without Doubt [Revised]

"Young Master, I've wanted to see you for a long time. You're getting good-looking..!" Thian Zai continued to hold onto Xiao Shuxiang's hand while rapidly raising it down, he looked so overjoyed.

Xiao Shuxiang smiled awkwardly, inwardly he wondered when Thian Zai would let go of his hand because it had been a long time since they shook hands.

Xiao Shuxiang looked at Zhi Shu and Hai Feng, both of them instantly realizing their Xiao brother needed help. Soon Hai Feng and Zhi Shu reminded Thian Zai.

Hi Feng, "Uncle Thian. Already, already."

"I'm sorry! I'm too happy to see you, Young Master. I'm so happy!"

"No problem, Uncle Thian." Xiao Shuxiang was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief even though his hands were a little sore.

Thian Zai invited Xiao Shuxiang, Hai Feng and Zhi Shu to sit down. He apologized for not coming to pick them up.

"So, the one who was said to want to meet me was you..?" Xiao Shuxiang secured his sitting position, he did not want to waste time because the sun was almost setting.

Thian Zai with a still fluffy smile said, "Actually besides me, there is another person who has long wanted to meet Young Master Xiao,"

At the same time as he said it, a nineteen-year-old girl, but her true age was 25 years old, appeared to be entering Thian Zai's room. This girl was none other than Liu Xi Ling.

Xiao Shuxiang and his two friends stood up. He had only noticed this girl more thoroughly, Liu Xi Ling had long hair on her back that was draped in dark purple with light green eyes.

Her clothes were bright purple and slightly exposed on both of her shoulders. The girl smiled as she saluted him.

Thian Zai who also stood up politely introduced Liu Xi Ling as the daughter of the Association owner to her. He nodded and then replied to Liu Xi Ling's greeting.

The five sat back down, Xiao Shuxiang directly asked Liu Xi Ling about his relationship with a cultivator named Liu Xuling, because the names of the two were almost similar let alone their surnames were the same.

"He is the younger brother of my Grandfather," Liu Xi Ling replied with a smile.

He was not at all suspicious of Xiao Shuxiang's question as his grandmother's name was written on the Stone of Acts and became one of the cultivators killed in order to protect the Eastern Continent from the Destroying Star.

Before Xiao Shuxiang, there had already been many people asking about the relationship of the Peacock Stork Association with the Ice Lotus Sect cultivator, Liu Xuling. Both have a blood relationship.

Liu Xuling was the founder of the Ice Lotus Sect, while her brother was the founder of the Peacock Stork Association.

When it comes to work, both will attach importance to responsibility and forget about their blood relationship. It was as if inside their family home, but outside their home were strangers.

Compared to the Ice Lotus Sect.. The Peacock Stork Association is slower to increase. Even several times it had gone out of business before it finally became as big as it is now.

"Then, what about the Ice Lotus Sect? Is there still, or has it disappeared?" Xiao Shuxiang looked curious, after taking a good look, Li Xi Ling's voice and face resembled that of his senior.

"After that war, some of the Ice Lotus Sect disciples decided to join other sects, and some went to the Northern Continent. They established a new Ice Lotus Sect there."

Xiao Shuxiang muttered while rubbing his chin, he then asked about the reason Liu Xi Ling wanted to meet him.

Liu Xi Ling apparently wanted to ask Xiao Shuxiang's permission to produce the Three Goods Pill, he said that Xiao Shuxiang would get 30 percent of the proceeds from the sale of the pill.

"I still don't understand. You want to make the pill with my prescription and patent it as your Association's, then I just sit idly by doing nothing and instead receive 30 percent of the proceeds from the sale of the pill, right?"

!

"E-I-iya, but your name will still be that pill maker. Yeah-so.." Liu Xi Ling was nervous, had she just offended this man?

Ever since he spoke to Xiao Shuxiang earlier, he had somehow felt that he was talking to someone older than himself.

"I want to convince you something first. You provide the ingredients, make the pills, then sell them. While I'm staying take care of it, are you?"

Liu Xi Ling assented while nodding. Subconsciously Zhi Shu, Hai Feng and Thian Zai also nodded. The four of them were pounding with the words that Xiao Shuxiang was about to utter.

To an Alchemist, a pill recipe was like his life. The Peacock Stork Association asked Xiao Shuxiang for permission to produce his own Three Goodness Pill by indirectly requesting the pill recipe from him.

Had they asked permission was an Alchemist like Zhou Yan, surely their place now would not be intact anymore. This palpitating feeling accompanied by nervousness existed because they knew that Xiao Shuxiang had a close relationship with Zhou Yan. It was not impossible that Xiao Shuxiang was a disciple of such an Immortal Cultivator.

Sweat poured down Thian Zai's temple, he continued to pay attention to Xiao Shuxiang's face which was so cold.

"Then I agree!" Xiao Shuxiang suddenly exclaimed to the point of making Liu Xi Ling, Thian Zai, Hai Feng and Zhi Shu aghast. The four of them immediately rubbed their chests, as if they were almost hanging.

"Why do you have to be that surprised, just relax.." Xiao Shuxiang seemed to be unaware that his facial expression was like a mountain about to erupt.

"God.. It's the first time I've felt like I'm in front of death." Thian Zai was still trying to catch his breath.

Xiao Shuxiang inwardly smiled in satisfaction, getting 30 percent of the proceeds from the sale of his second-rate pills was including large.

The Peacock Stork Association was like licking it in order for Xiao Shuxiang to establish a relationship with them. "Yeah.. There is no loss for me either. Alright, I will give you the recipe as well as the way the pill is processed. It's also good that you can develop it, but my share if it can be raised." Xiao Shuxiang smiled as he blinked one eye.

Thian Zai smiled awkwardly, no he thought that this boy who was so young and innocent looked was harboring the Aura of the Business Fox.

"Of course, Young Master. It can be arranged.." Liu Xi Ling smiled amiably, she was initially quite jolted when Xiao Shuxiang blinked at her.

"Because there's nothing more to discuss, I'll-"

"Wait a minute, sir. There's still something I want to talk to you about.." Liu Xi Ling held back Xiao Shuxiang who was intending to get up from his chair.

"What else does Miss Liu want to talk about," Xiao Shuxiang reorganized her sitting position, she had to immediately return to the sect to meet Lan Guan Zhi and Lan Xiao.

Liu Xi Ling placed a Spatial Ring on the table and said, "Inside here is a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Arak Anak Linglung. The rest will be delivered in three days."

Xiao Shuxiang frowned. "Hm? Not that you have bought the Arak, why was the sale given to me..?"

Liu Xi Ling said, "The Peacock Stork Association did not buy the Linglung Children's Arak. We only helped Young Master Hai Feng and Miss Zhi Shu sell it for a 30 percent share for the Association and the rest was given to the owner of the Arak."

Xiao Shuxiang gasped when he heard that his two friends had already made progress in doing business. He looked at Hai Feng and Zhi Shu, "If I don't like you guys selling that wine without my permission, but I salute your work." Xiao Shuxiang raised his thumbs on his two friends.

Hai Feng and Zhi Shu hid their pleasure. In my heart, both were so happy. Brother Xiao they must have withdrawn his sentence later.

Liu Xi Ling was initially a bit doubtful, but she finally decided to tell Xiao Shuxiang. He apparently also wanted to produce Arak Anak Linglung which turned out to instantly make the look on Xiao Shuxiang's face change again.

"Honestly, Miss Liu. I actually don't like it because my wine is sold without my permission. These two friends made a mistake in giving it to your Association. But it's all over, so well, what can I do.."

Xiao Shuxiang also said what offer Liu Xi Ling could give her so that she would give her permission as well as the recipe for making Arak Anak Linglung, of course he did not want if the offer was just a revenue sharing system anymore.

"We have actually already talked about this to Master Hai Feng and Miss Zhi Shu. We are willing to give ten percent of the Association's shares to Young Master Xiao,"

"Brother Xiao, there's something you need to know. We already have a five percent stake in this Association," Hai Feng half whispered, he said that if Xiao Shuxiang accepted it.. Then they would get fifteen percent of the Association's shares.

"Hmm, but I want 30."

!!

"That's too big, Tu-Young Master. We're.." Liu Xi Ling did not know what to say, the thirty shares Association was not something small.

He attempted to bargain and finally reached an agreement that Xiao Shuxiang was the owner of 20 percent of the Peacock Stork Association's shares.

Hai Feng and Zhi Shu looked at Xiao Shuxiang in awe. Both of them had just witnessed the other skills of his brother other than Alchemists and reliable chefs.

Liu Xi Ling gave a black jade token with one side a white heron and the other side a peacock.

He also gave three balls the size of a baby's fist to Xiao Shuxiang while saying that the balls were special fireworks to ask the Association for help.

"Thank you, Miss Liu. I'll keep this one ball.." Xiao Shuxiang then handed over the token and the two balls Liu Xi Ling gave to his two friends.

His actions made Liu Xi Ling, Thian Zai, Hai Feng and Zhi Shu shocked. Xiao Shuxiang was certainly aware of what he was doing, but compared to him.. Hai Feng and Zhi Shu needed the token more because these two people were the representatives of him.

"Did he not know the meaning of the token?!"

"He believed in his two friends so much, to the extent that.." Liu Xi Ling certainly did not expect with the actions that Xiao Shuxiang had taken.

"Young Master, are you sure..?"

"Miss Liu, before we meet.. You must be no stranger to these two friends. They are the ones I chose without the slightest hesitation." Xiao Shuxiang firmly said that his two friends would not be traitors and would not be able to become traitors.

Hai Feng and Zhi Shu looked at Xiao Shuxiang deeply. His brother said confidently to the point of touching their hearts. Getting a trust of this magnitude certainly will not be wasted.

Liu Xi Ling and Thian Zai led their three guests to the outside door of the building while still talking.

"It turns out he's a fun kid.." Liu Xi Ling felt that her nervousness earlier was very unnatural.

During the talk with Xiao Shuxiang, he could judge that the child was not a stingy smile and occasionally liked to joke.

Liu Xi Ling and Thian Zai gave a salute which was also directly greeted by Xiao Shuxiang, Hai Feng and Zhi Shu. The three then climbed their flying swords and immediately shot towards the Butterfly Sect.

Slightly looking down, Xiao Shuxiang could see a large market crowd that was not as usual. Many red and yellow gold lantern decorations in each place including small flags stretched interconnected between one building to another.

"Is there a festival?" Xiao Shuxiang asked his two friends.

Zhi Shu replied, "The Lantern 1000 Festival will be held tonight. You must have never seen it, right? We'll take you around later, Brother Xiao."

"Aahs.. I don't think you guys will be able to do it.." Xiao Shuxiang smiled faintly, his words made Hai Feng and Zhi Shu astonished.

Arriving at the Butterfly Sect, Zhi Shu and Hai Feng began to know the meaning of their brother's words.

"Sa-Brother Xiao. You-you're so fucking.." Zhi Shu knelt down with both hands raised while holding a medium-sized urn in which there were embers.

While Hai Feng was standing using both of his hands with bare feet that propped up a medium-sized urn and also contained embers of fire.

"Brother Xiao, my hands are no longer strong..!" Shi Shu felt his hands extremely hot, like they were about to blister. Although he tried to reduce his pain with Qi, but somehow the heat from the urn was still felt.

"It's only been a minute, you guys don't get so weak."

Xiao Shuxiang added his little blue flame into the urn of Zhi Shu and Hai Feng, making the heat instantly radiate from his hands and feet to the rest of the body.

Zhi Shu and Hai Feng screamed inwardly, they were unable to move, sweat was pouring down their temples and even their whole bodies were also cuddling.

Zhi Shu and Hai Feng were trying not to show their expressions of pain, as they were currently being witnessed by the disciples of the Butterfly Sect and the Silver Bamboo Sect.

Hun Fung and his friends shook their heads slowly. If Xiao Shuxiang were to come, there would only be their fellow students who were punished for some reason.

The more disciples that watched Zhi Shu and Hai Feng made the two of them even more scream in the heart. They were so embarrassed to be seen like this, what would their juniors say if they were to face pain and scream?!

"Can't! Don't let that happen..! They won't respect me as 'Senior' anymore..!" Zhi Shu held back the trembling in her teeth, she showed as much as she could with her thin, graceful smile.

"I won't lose to Zhi Shu, it's a matter of self-esteem..!" Hai Feng also did the same thing, trying to stay calm even though he was screaming in pain and like he wanted to wriggle hard.

"Well, you two are great. Stay like this until I get back, you understand?"

"Okay, Brother Xiao!" Zhi Shu and Hai Feng replied in unison, there was an aura of decisiveness as well as authority emanating at the exclamations of the two.

"Amazing Passion!" Xiao Shuxiang grabbed his two friends and started walking away.

"You must not be long, Brother Xiao. Hurry back before my hand melts from the heat..!" Zhi Shu was actually very anxious to cry and scream loudly, but his juniors continued to watch him being punished.

"Senior.."

Some disciples were goosebumps when they saw the flames inside the urns of his two seniors were burning even more. Every now and then a small blue flame floated out from inside the urn and then entered again. It was this blue flame that further doubled the heat on the urns of their two seniors.
