Chapter 1613: When in town, do as the Romans do
Yuan Shilei had thought that someone else might be so foolish as to stand up and provoke Ruan Yu.
But in reality, these people are all as obedient as grandsons.
In this way, he felt relieved.
His father and clansmen treated him badly, but they didn't deprive him of food, clothing, or other necessities. At most, they just didn't give him the rights that a young master should have, like other families.
It's not enough to make them die.
"Since everyone has agreed, from this moment on, the Yuan Family Trading Company will be subordinate to the Ruan Family Trading Company under your jurisdiction. Whether or not to change the name is entirely up to everyone!"
Some people felt that since the Yuan family business already belonged to Ruan Yu, even without changing the name, it was still Ruan Yu's property. They thought it would be better to just change the name directly.
Maybe I can even gain some fame by riding on their coattails.
Others believe that as long as the business name is preserved, there will still be a chance to break away in the future.
After all, no matter how hard the Yuan family had suffered over the years, they had never considered handing over their business to others. If they were to give it away, what face would they have to face their ancestors in the afterlife?
Little did they know that in the near future, they would be filled with regret!
"These shops of the Yuan family are now in your care." After the Yuan family members left, only Ruan Yu, Yuan's father, and Yuan Shilei remained in the front hall.
She was speaking to Yuan Shilei.
"I will manage the shops perfectly!" Yuan Shilei was now full of energy. He never imagined that one day he would be able to manage the Yuan family, and even so many shops under the Yuan family's control.
However… in his joy, he did not forget the important matter: “But sir, my strength is weak, and I am afraid it will be difficult for me to win people’s respect.”
He knew all too well what his people were thinking.
Don't be fooled by their quick agreement now; once Ruan Yu leaves, their minds will start to race.
It would be fine if Ruan Yu stayed here, but once she leaves...
“I know.” Ruan Yu gave Yuan Shilei a deep look: “These pills are enough to greatly improve your cultivation level.”
But it's still not enough.
Yuan Shilei could at most reach the fourth level of the God rank in a short period of time.
Even with so many members of the Yuan clan present, it was still not enough.
“Go buy some suicide bombers,” she said.
Yuan Shilei had the same idea, "Father."
He turned to look at Yuan's father. Although Yuan Shilei was now the head of the Yuan family, he didn't truly hold power yet, and he didn't have much money.
They could only ask Yuan's father for help.
Father Yuan was staring at the pill in Yuan Shilei's hand. Could a pill that could greatly improve one's cultivation level be considered a divine pill?
Really want……
“Give him the money.” Ruan Yu generously gave Yuan’s father a bottle.
"Oh, here you go, I'll give it to you right now." Father Yuan took the pill and was so happy that he forgot himself. He took off his spatial ring and stuffed it into Yuan Shilei's hand.
He forgot that the spatial ring contained not only some savings, but also a key to the treasure vault!
Yuan Shilei had never seen so much money in his life; his eyes widened with excitement.
After suppressing his excitement, he took out a key and asked Yuan's father, "Father, what kind of key is this?"
Father Yuan had just secretly opened the bottle and peeked inside. Sure enough, just as he had imagined, the bottle contained a divine pill! And a divine pill of perfect quality at that!
Just by smelling it, I could feel my cultivation level starting to weaken!
You have to understand, he hadn't made a breakthrough in decades! He had thought he had no hope of ever breaking through in this lifetime, but Ruan Yu brought him such a huge surprise!
His purpose in making money is to seek immortality!
If he had known that Ruan Yu could help him extend his lifespan, why did he ever object in the first place? He should have just begged Ruan Yu to acquire the Yuan family!
Upon hearing Yuan Shilei's voice, Yuan's father finally came to his senses. When he saw that his precious key was in Yuan Shilei's hand, he tensed up and immediately snatched the key away, saying, "My little treasure."
Then, as if it were a precious treasure, she put it into the spatial ring on her other hand.
"I've given you most of my private property, my little stash to live comfortably in my old age. You can't still be eyeing it, can you?" Seeing Yuan Shilei looking at him curiously, Yuan's father glared at him with displeasure.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shilei pouted: "Of course I don't care. I was just curious, that's why I asked."
"Then I won't bother you any longer, sir." Father Yuan couldn't resist any longer; the pill was just too tempting. If Ruan Yu hadn't been there, he would have swallowed it on the spot.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Yuan Shilei, "Leier, take good care of the adults!"
Now that Yuan Shijie is dead, although he has several sons, all of whom are more talented than Yuan Shilei, there's nothing that can be done. Only Yuan Shilei is favored by the adults.
Left with no other choice, Yuan's father chose Yuan Shilei, the son he least favored, from among his sons.
And Yuan Shijie's death, naturally, was left unresolved.
"My lord, I'm going to buy assassins now. Would you like to come with me?" Yuan Shilei rubbed the spatial ring in his hand.
His expression betrayed his excitement.
Suddenly they're out of poverty, and they have so much money they could spend it all in several lifetimes. Who understands that?
"Let's go take a look." Since she had nothing better to do, Ruan Yu nodded.
If there are any that catch your eye, Ruan Yu would like to buy a few.
I've heard that assassins are controlled by something special, and once they pledge allegiance to a master, they can never betray him.
"Although I've never bought any assassins, I've heard some stories. It's said that assassins can only be bought on the black market, and you have to wait until dark. But it's getting late now, and the black market is quite far from here."
Yuan Shilei hurriedly went to arrange the sedan chair.
Ruan Yu found it troublesome and too slow: "Just point me in a direction."
"In that direction, it's about 1.17 million li."
"So close?"
Yuan Shilei: "Huh?" What did he hear? Close?
Does Your Excellency possess a teleportation artifact?
Yuan Shilei guessed half of it correctly.
They were indeed going to be teleported there, but not with the help of a teleportation artifact.
"Let's go." Ruan Yu grabbed Yuan Shilei by the collar, and her spatial divine power suddenly began to operate.
Teleport!
After three teleportations, the two appeared in the city where the black market was located.
"Black Night City," Ruan Yu murmured, reading the large characters on the city gate.
"Yes, the black market is in Night City. We're... here?" Yuan Shilei asked, completely bewildered.
He had no idea how he ended up here with Ruan Yu, nor did he see Ruan Yu use any teleportation magic items!
After Ruan Yu's cultivation reached the ninth level of the God rank, the divine power he unleashed was so powerful that it was difficult for ordinary people to detect unless it caused large-scale damage and a sensation.
The teleportation technique she just used didn't cause the slightest fluctuation in spatial attributes, so it's no wonder Yuan Shilei was so confused.
Yuan Shilei was bewildered, but he was sensible enough not to pry and upset Ruan Yu.
"Who goes there! Come down! No flying in Night City!" The guards below spotted the two people in the air at a glance.
It's hard not to see them; everyone else is walking obediently on the ground, but the two of them are the only ones who stand out.
"Sir, should we force our way in?" Yuan Shilei asked in a low voice.
He had gotten used to Ruan Yu's straightforward and brutal approach, resorting to force at the slightest disagreement!
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Now go down."
