"..."
The hall fell silent. Xiaoyao's words sounded really strange. If it were soone else saying this, it would be fine, but when Xiaoyao said it, there was definitely a problem.
If eating one's fill was enough, then why did you practice your culinary skills to this level?
"Hey you, don't get too cocky. You're just from a branch family and don't have the ability to make demands of the main family. In the end, you're not much different from ," At this mont, the Young Miss suddenly said. It seed she had been dwelling on this matter all along.
Whether it was because she refused to admit defeat, or because she didn't want Xiaoyao to be protected by other people was unclear.
"Young Miss, perhaps you're mistaken. Miss Suxin is very special—she can influence the main Nangong clan," Xiaoyao said at this mont.
Everyone didn't pay much attention to Xiaoyao's words, thinking they were just his speculation. The matter of branch families and main families was very common, especially among great clans, which generally had many branch families. Those who managed these branch families were usually people who had been exiled.
How could such people have any special influence!
"Eh? How would you know about this?" Nangong Suxin asked with so surprise.
From Nangong Suxin's words, everyone seed to detect sothing fishy. It appeared that this Nangong Suxin might really be able to influence the main family. If that were the case, she might beco part of the continent's top tier in the future.
Such a person should be cultivated more...
"I don't know about anything specific. I only know that Miss Suxin and Third Miss are both extraordinary people. Even within the main Nangong clan, they would be top talents. In the future, they might even control the entire Nangong clan,” Xiaoyao replied casually.
"Is that really the case? I feel like you know more than just this," Nangong Suxin looked at Xiaoyao with eyes that seed to want to see right through him.
"How would I know about your family's affairs? If you were to ask about the Mo family's affairs, I'd know everything—I even know what underwear the Young Miss wears..." Xiaoyao remained as casual as always, completely unaware of how serious his words were, leaving everyone stunned.
"..." At this mont, everyone looked at the Young Miss. They seed to be waiting for her to explode. Any girl being spoken about this way would erupt.
Even if this might be true...
However, the Young Miss didn't react as everyone expected. She didn't explode or even look angry. Very calmly, she said: "What's so strange about that? You're all making a big fuss over nothing. He bought all my clothes and made them, including my underwear!"
"..." Everyone was speechless.
"Mine too!" Guxing also spoke up at this mont.
"..." Everyone was even more speechless.
Afterward, everyone began chatting about various topics—the Dragon Gate Tournant, going to the Great Tang Empire together afterward, the sects that had taken interest in Princess Ke Xin. Of course, most of the talk was about Xiaoyao. However, Xiaoyao didn't participate in any of the discussions and started reading a book instead.
When the Young Miss complained about Xiaoyao reading even at this ti, Xiaoyao replied with a passage.
"There's not enough ti. After this ends, we'll have to depart in at most ten days. It's not like last ti when we had three months. I've only reached the seventh level now—there are still more than two levels left!"
"Damn, you've already reached the seventh level? That's really abnormal. With the remaining two-plus levels, you should be able to finish them in ten days,” the Young Miss replied directly.
"Should be possible, as long as no one disturbs ,” Xiaoyao nodded in response.
"In that case, you won't be able to participate in our celebration banquet," the Young Miss frowned.
"I wasn't supposed to participate anyway. There's no point in going, and besides, they wouldn't let ." Xiaoyao replied.
"Forget it, I won't participate either. I'll go set up a stall with you for fun. I've never tried setting up a roadside stall!" The Young Miss had no interest in any celebration banquet. Moreover, she had heard from Xiao Ai about Xiaoyao's stall-setting, and she thought this would be more fun.
"No need. I'm not planning to set up a stall anymore. I don't know what's going on now, but so many people are looking for that I can't keep up. I was originally just setting up for fun and to earn so travel money, but now I don't need to anymore..." Xiaoyao shook his head in response.
"..." Xiao Ai was sowhat speechless. The young man before her really had too much personality—saying he wouldn't do sothing and then not doing it.
What was even more speechless was that he seed unaware that he had already beco a famous doctor in the New Moon Empire's capital. People were looking for him because his dical skills had spread, so naturally more people were seeking him out.
And as the protagonist, he was completely oblivious to this.
No wonder he didn't know—he was imrsed in books all day. When people ca, he would just examine their conditions, paying no attention to outside affairs.
"No, I want to set up a stall! I want to set up a stall! Let's go together!" the Young Miss began to wheedle like a spoiled child.
"Alright then, we'll set up a stall, but we'll change the sign..." Xiaoyao thought for a mont. He felt there were too many people seeking dical treatnt. If he switched to sothing more obscure, there shouldn't be any problems.
"Change to what?" the Young Miss asked.
"Let think... selling pills with clear pricing. You can handle everything too. Besides, we need to recover so funds, or we'll run out of money," After thinking, Xiaoyao realized that switching to things requiring skills would an he'd have to do the work himself, but selling pills wouldn't require his personal involvent.
Moreover, what he said was true—he had too many pills but very few dicinal materials. He needed to sell so pills to exchange for materials to refine the pills he needed.
"Good," The Young Miss didn't care what they sold, as long as they set up a stall.
"I'll co to play too!" Nangong Suxin said.
"Nangong Suxin, don't always butt in. Isn't it annoying?" the Young Miss imdiately said.
"Whether I'm annoying or not is none of your business. The little servant didn't say I was annoying, right, little servant?"
"Mm, even if you're annoying, you're not as annoying as the Young Miss..." Xiaoyao nodded.
"..." The Young Miss gritted her teeth and said word by word: "What did you say..."
"I said she's not as annoying as you!"
The Young Miss's expression grew darker and darker...
"You're the most troubleso. Even if you're annoying, I have to endure it. She doesn't need to!"
The Young Miss's expression imdiately changed, becoming bright and sunny. She smiled smugly at Nangong Suxin, who turned her head away and ignored her.
At this mont, everyone was montarily confused about the Young Miss's change, but after thinking carefully, they understood.
Xiaoyao's words expressed a aning—that he could tolerate the Young Miss, and even if she was a bit troubleso, he wouldn't mind. But Nangong Suxin was different. If she was troubleso, he could directly ignore her.
This attitude was a distinction—a distinction in their relationships.
Xiaoyao didn't treat the Young Miss as an outsider, so he would tolerate her troubles. But others were different—he didn't need to tolerate them, including Nangong Suxin and everyone else present.
Naturally, Guxing wasn't in this everyone present.
The next day, although Xiaoyao had changed his stall, he still couldn't change the situation of booming business. This ti, it seed even more booming than before.
Previously, everyone ca seeking dical treatnt, but now, not only were there those seeking treatnt, but even more ca to buy pills.
Among those buying pills, it seed the majority ca to see beautiful won and chat with them. Xiaoyao's current stall was too eye-catching. Before, people ca because they knew his reputation, but now even without fa, it could attract large crowds to watch.
If Xiaoyao's stall only had Guxing, perhaps it wouldn't be too ostentatious. If he added the Young Miss and Nangong Suxin, it might be a bit showy but not too lively.
But now he had to add Princess Ke Xin, Zhang Caiyi, and County Princess Ling Lan. This combination would definitely be very lively and attract large numbers of people to stop and watch.
This still wouldn't cause the current situation. What was unexpected was that there was also Xiao Ai plus several of her close friends. Thus, the scene beca explosive.
Damn, this wasn't setting up a stall—this was selecting a courtesan queen, And the highest level kind at that. Even if all the beauties of the continent ca to compete, this would be the level. It couldn't get much higher.
If this situation weren't explosive, that would be the strange thing.
Xiaoyao had no particular thoughts about this situation. After all, he was reading from beginning to end. At the sa ti, he hoped to sell all his pills. In the current situation, even double the amount could be sold, so why wouldn't he be happy?
This group of young ladies all tried the taste of setting up a stall and found it very fresh. Even Guxing went to sell a few bottles of pills, all enjoying themselves without feeling any hardship.
Because of this, they felt that setting up stalls was actually quite good. Although it was a bit busy, they earned a lot of money. They felt that if they ever ran out of money in the future, they could try this.
Of course, they were just thinking. With their status, how could they possibly lack money? How could they fall to the point of showing their faces in public like this?
At the sa ti, they also had a misunderstanding. Xiaoyao's stall had booming business due to special reasons, which didn't represent the general case. This was just an illusion.
"Today we sold thirty-eight Lower-Grade Essence Pills at one tael each, earning thirty-eight taels! We sold one hundred and ten Middle-Grade Essence Pills at two taels each..."
County Princess Ling Lan was doing the accounting—this was her strength. At this ti, they were already at the Heavenly Wind Kingdom's residence, and those who weren't from the Heavenly Wind Kingdom had already left.
What Xiaoyao sold tonight were basically low and middle-grade pills. He kept all the high-grade pills for his own use.
In pill refining, besides different types, there were also grade distinctions. Generally, one could distinguish them by looking at the pills' color and form. Good alchemists not only had high pill completion rates but also high quality rates—aning the proportion of middle and high-grade pills should be high, with lower-grade ones being as few as possible.
