Chapter 2627: Chapter 2606: A Troublesome Shop
Chapter 2606: The Troublesome Store
Gu Tianhai took a sip of wine, nodded thoughtfully, and continued speaking: "Young Master, Lin City is so prosperous. We can’t rush in finding a store, and we must also find a suitable alchemist to ensure that the Holy Pill Pavilion can operate normally when you’re not around."
Lin Feng responded with a grunt. The matter of the alchemist was indeed a tricky problem. Regardless, Lin Feng wasn’t keen on hiring alchemists connected to other factions. Finding someone like Di Guang and Yao Nan wasn’t easy.
Gu Tianhai seemed to understand Lin Feng’s intention, so he continued, "Young Master, you don’t need to worry about this. Go focus on your own matters; I’ll handle the alchemist issue."
He could see Lin Feng had many things to deal with and didn’t want him to be troubled. As long as he could help share Lin Feng’s burdens, he was happy.
Looking at Gu Tianhai and listening to his ideas, Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction. Gu Tianhai understood his meaning without needing further explanation and could consider things from his perspective, ensuring every aspect of the Holy Pill Pavilion’s establishment was considered. It really put Lin Feng at ease.
Later, Lin Feng took out 30 million Yuan Stones from the space and handed them to Gu Tianhai, saying: "These are the Yuan Stones I retrieved from the auction house earlier. Use them to prepare, and if it’s not enough, you can take from the Holy Pill Pavilion’s income. Please handle the store matter as soon as possible."
Gu Tianhai nodded. The two then chatted about family matters as time slowly passed. The atmosphere was very good, and before they knew it, it was evening, so they got up, left the restaurant, and returned to the auction house.
Arriving at the auction house, Lin Feng suddenly remembered there was something he hadn’t discussed with Gu Tianhai, so he pulled Gu Tianhai into Ma Biaohu’s room.
Ma Biaohu and Xinyue were chatting happily. Seeing Lin Feng and Gu Tianhai return, Xinyue quickly ran to Lin Feng’s side and said sweetly, "Brother, you’re here!"
Lin Feng patted Xinyue’s little head and introduced her to Gu Tianhai: "This is Xinyue; I rescued her in Lin City and have been letting her follow me. Now, I’m entrusting her to you."
Xinyue stared at Gu Tianhai with wide eyes, unsure why Lin Feng was entrusting her to a stranger. But she knew Lin Feng wouldn’t harm her, so she smiled at Gu Tianhai and greeted, "Hello, Uncle."
Gu Tianhai looked at Xinyue, feeling a fondness for her, and smiled happily. He said to Lin Feng, "Young Master, rest assured. I will treat her like my own daughter."
"Good. You must teach her well. She is very intelligent and has learned a lot at such a young age. With proper guidance, she will surely thrive in the future." Lin Feng smiled at Xinyue with comfort. Saving her was their fate, and he must take good care of her.
"Leave it to me, Young Master. I will surely teach her well." After finishing their conversation, Gu Tianhai went back to his room to rest, as he had a lot of things to do tomorrow.
Watching Gu Tianhai leave, Lin Feng said to Xinyue, "Don’t blame brother for not having time to take care of you. You must follow Uncle diligently and learn well to become a useful person in the future."
Lin Feng felt guilty deep down, but he was constrained by his responsibilities and owed many people proper care, leaving him somewhat desolate thinking about it.
"Brother, don’t worry. Xinyue won’t be a burden and will certainly behave." Xinyue said with her sweet voice while patting Lin Feng’s hand like an adult. To her, Lin Feng was now her only family, and she must strive to relieve his burden.
Watching the sensible Xinyue, Ma Biaohu and Tangyuan both smiled, and even Xue’er, who was sleeping on the side, opened her eyes. She longed to go home quickly and rejoiced together with her family.
Early the next morning, after bidding farewell to Xue Fan and Gu Tianhai, Lin Feng left the auction house with Ma Biaohu, Tangyuan, and Xue’er. Ma Biaohu and Tangyuan were incredibly excited; finally, they were going to explore the Southern Region sea. Xue’er was also very happy, as she could finally go home.
But Lin Feng didn’t say where they were heading, instead walking in the opposite direction of the Southern Region sea. Tangyuan was very puzzled as to why they weren’t taking a boat; the Southern Region sea was quite far. Riding Aurora would be alright, too. Ma Biaohu was also puzzled but didn’t ask, trusting the Boss had his reasons.
After walking for more than half a day, the two humans and two beasts finally left Lin City’s downtown and arrived at a tranquil paradise.
"Oh my, Boss, where are we? Did we go to the wrong place?" Tangyuan exclaimed, looking at the place.
This place was simply too beautiful. An endless view of forest, the distant sound of a waterfall could be heard, and the river flowing from afar converged to form a tranquil lake before them. The most beautiful part was the flowers blooming around the lake, creating a sea of vibrant colors.
"Dashan, take Tangyuan and Xue’er to explore some other places for a few days. I want to spend a few days alone with Tao Tao, Lingling, and Si Hong." Lin Feng said to Ma Biaohu. He couldn’t let Xue’er know about the Cave Heaven Mansion affairs but felt that if only taking Ma Biaohu and Tangyuan out, Xue’er might overthink.
Ma Biaohu instantly understood Lin Feng’s purpose for bringing them to such a beautiful place, and he carried Xue’er and Tangyuan into the depths of the forest.
Seeing Ma Biaohu leave with the two beasts, Lin Feng opened the Cave Heaven Mansion and let Tao Tao, Lingling, and Si Hong out...
The three women were extremely excited to see Lin Feng. They hadn’t seen him for so long, and each had so much to say. They crowded around Lin Feng, eagerly talking all at once. And so, the four of them sat by the lakeside, watching the serene lake and the scenic beauty around them, chatting for several hours...
Lin Feng didn’t say much, he just listened to the three women talk about things in the Cave Heaven Mansion, smiling by the side. Perhaps this was the life Lin Feng truly yearned for. But he bore heavy responsibilities. If one day he could establish a sect and provide stability for the Ascenders, he would definitely retreat from the outside disputes and live such a life he desired.
Time flies, and happy days are always so short-lived. In the blink of an eye, several days passed. During these days, Lin Feng accompanied the three women in roaming, fishing, playing, occasionally visiting waterfalls, strolling through jungles, soaking in hot springs, feeling utterly carefree. However, Lin Feng didn’t have that much time; otherwise, he really wanted to stay there indefinitely.
Just as Lin Feng was about to leave here for the Southern Region, suddenly, Lin Feng’s Communication Talisman lit up. He walked to a secluded area and started chatting with Gu Tianhai.
"What’s the matter?" Lin Feng asked. He knew that if it weren’t something urgent, Gu Tianhai wouldn’t trouble him. Perhaps they had found a new shop.
"Young Master, there’s a tricky situation regarding the new shop. It can’t be explained in a few words. Are you far from Lin City? Could you possibly come back?" Gu Tianhai said apologetically. Although Lin Feng had entrusted him with handling the matters fully, he was still worried about creating trouble for Lin Feng if things weren’t handled well, so he hoped Lin Feng could return and make a personal decision.
Lin Feng thought about it. He hadn’t officially set off for the Southern Region yet, so maybe he should head back and see what was happening. If they really had found a shop, then the trip to the Southern Region would have to be temporarily postponed. So he said to Gu Tianhai, "Alright, I’ll return right away."
Then, he bade farewell to Tao Tao, Lingling, and Si Hong, gave a brief explanation, sent them back into the Cave Heaven Mansion, and hurriedly returned to Lin City after finding Ma Biaohu, Tangyuan, and Xue’er.
.......
Upon arriving at the auction house, Lin Feng saw Gu Tianhai with furrowed brows, sitting in the middle of the backyard, deep in thought. Lin Feng had never seen Gu Tianhai like this. For Gu Tianhai, he wouldn’t urgently summon Lin Feng back unless there was an incredibly intractable issue.
"Tianhai." Lin Feng called out, seeing Gu Tianhai pondering over something.
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s voice, Gu Tianhai snapped out of his reverie and said, "Young Master, I didn’t dare to make a hasty decision on this matter, so I called you back."
Gu Tianhai was very apologetic, as Lin Feng had just left, but he didn’t dare to decide rashly on this matter. After all, finding a suitable shop in Lin City was not easy, so he wanted to discuss it with Lin Feng.
"Tell me what’s going on first," Lin Feng said with a faint smile, then pulled Gu Tianhai down to sit with him and inquire in detail.
"I’ve been looking for a shop since you left. Two days ago, I finally found one on a main street that’s up for transfer. I went in to take a look. I am very satisfied with the environment and the location, and the space is more than enough to open a Holy Pill Pavilion," Gu Tianhai said.
Lin Feng asked, "Is it a problem with the transfer fee, is the price too high?"
Gu Tianhai shook his head and said to Lin Feng, "It would be easy if the price were high. The issue is that the price is puzzlingly low, exceedingly low."
Lin Feng looked at Gu Tianhai, waiting for him to continue.
"At first, I also wondered how a shop of this size could be transferred at such a low price. Later, I found out from the surrounding neighbors that the family who owned the shop offended the Shen Family of the eight prominent families in Lin City. The Shen Family had coveted their elixir shop and its business, but they hadn’t dared to act while the shop’s owner was alive. Recently, the owner passed away, and the Shen Family began eyeing this piece of meat," Gu Tianhai said angrily. He really didn’t expect the powerful families in Lin City to be so domineering and bully people this way.
Lin Feng didn’t respond, waiting for Gu Tianhai to continue.
"No one dares to provoke the Shen Family in Lin City. I heard they are extremely domineering. The elixir shop originally had a great business and a renowned name, called Lingyue Pavilion. The Shen Family wanted to take it over and enjoy the benefits, but now the owner is dead, leaving behind orphans and a widow who can’t manage it. Yet, the old owner instructed before dying that the shop must be transferred to someone who knows management, not to the Shen Family, to uphold the Lingyue Pavilion’s reputation. This, of course, offended the Shen Family and caused this misfortune. Now, the widow refuses to transfer it to the Shen Family, wanting to sell quickly at a low price and leave Lin City to avoid further harassment from the Shen Family, but no one in Lin City dares to take over."
Gu Tianhai recounted everything he had learned to Lin Feng, then looked at him, waiting for his decision.
