Chapter 42: On Doing Business with Others

there are secrets I am not qualified to know“The State of Zhuang has three major prefectures, and Qinghe Prefecture has thirteen cities. You are merely one of these thirteen cities'… temporary stewar...It was just another ordinary day.

The Baiyu Jing Restaurant is very busy.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Lian Yuchuan diligently served a full hour's worth of dishes before going upstairs.

Passing by the serene Master Jingli sitting in the middle of the stairway on the tenth floor, and passing by Bai Yuxia who was meditating on the eleventh floor, he went straight to the top floor to look for Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang is in the study.

Reclining on a sun-drenched lounge chair by the window, I was leisurely reading a book.

Lien Yuchan lightly knocked on the door and stood at the study entrance, looking at her master who was quite leisurely: "It's time."

Jiang Wang let out an "Oh" and said, "I'll go after I finish this page."

Lian Yuchuan naturally knew her master was studious and diligent, constantly reading. After all, she saw him every day with a book in hand. Now that they were somewhat acquainted, she felt a little curious and asked, "Master... what book is the East Master reading"

Life in Xingyueyuan had become her norm, but she still occasionally slipped up and called out "Master." Being in Xiangguo, it was truly hard to forget the impression of "Wuan Hou."

Jiang Wang casually raised the book in her hand, allowing Lian Yulan to clearly see the cover.

“The Law of Ten Thousand Ages”

When Lian Yuchun read it out loud, she immediately stood in awe and respect.

This is a legal classic!

The host was once the youngest and most accomplished military general among the nations. His strategies were undoubtedly exceptional. He was also close friends with the Pure Glass Buddha Son, sharing meals and lodging together, which gave him a deep understanding of Buddhist teachings. He was known as one of the "Double Talented" alongside Xu Xiangqian from Qingya Academy, excelling in Confucian studies as well. Now, he is even delving into Legalist philosophy, truly a multifaceted genius!

The owner of the Baiyijing Restaurant, with an air of nonchalance, said: "This book is called 'The Laws of Ten Thousand Ages,' but it actually talks about the absence of any laws that last for ten thousand ages. It's a classic that makes legal codes sound very interesting. I often reread it and find something new every time. The military strategist Wei Shu from Qin also highly praised this book, citing it multiple times in public."

“Yes,” Lian Yuchang said with emotion. “The *Wan Shi Fa* was written by Xue Gui, a prominent Legalist scholar of the ancient times. He was the first to stand up and say that the laws established by the patriarchs were no longer suitable for the times, thus sparking a legal revolution. He broke the tradition of venerating antiquity and set the tone for Legalism’s ‘innovation,’ becoming a model for later scholars. My father often said that every aspiring legal scholar must read this *Wan Shi Fa*.”

Wow, Xiang Guo is such a small country, they're really dedicated to reading!

The Ten Thousand Dharma Sutra was actually the Lian family's secret teachings.

Is Lian Jingzhi, the Great Pillar Minister of the Elephant Kingdom, not from a military background!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Jiang某 quietly put the book down.

And Lian Yuchang was still actively discussing, resonating with like-minded individuals: "Wei Shu is also a master of legal studies and a representative figure of Qin law. It is said that he is the descendant of Wei Xing. In ancient times, Wei Xing and Xue Gui debated law, losing three times in a row, which led to his spiritual path collapsing and failing to transcend. However, his descendants were able to learn from Xue Gui, showing their vastness! I didn't expect the employer to also have an understanding of the Wei family, truly learned!"

This is an example of how to use the HTML tags in the context.

Wei Xing this name sounds so familiar!

Jiang Wang kept a calm face, but scratched his ears and cheeks in thought. After a moment, he gave up and chuckled wryly: "I'm not knowledgeable at all. I just know my limitations and try my best to make up for them."

Lian Yuchuan was after all not like Chong Xuanpang and Xu Gaoguo, those bad friends. Jiang someone found it embarrassing to continue putting on airs. He said sincerely: “I was born in a small town that wasn't very prosperous. People there rose with the sun and set with it, they didn't know what transcendence meant. Many people had never left that town in their entire lives.”

My father treated me very well, providing for my food and clothing, and teaching me to be an honest person.

As for me, I've loved swordsmanship since I was young. My dream is to wield my sword like the Azure Heavens, soaring freely in the sky. Father never said my aspirations were foolish or that our humble beginnings meant I shouldn't dream. He only told me that if it truly captured my heart, then I must strive, I must persevere.

But he only sold herbs and knew a little about medicinal plants. He didn't understand cultivation at all. He spent a lot of money buying me several sword manuals and personally making some liniments for me, that was all he could do.

I have no famous master to teach me, and no renowned score to learn from. I only bury my head in diligent practice, repeatedly pondering and refining on my own.

Besides a few primer books for learning characters and some illustrations of medicinal herbs, there weren't many other books in the house to read. I wasn't interested in reading at the time either. What use were books anyway A scholar was supposed to be useless!

I've gone through some things, taken some detours, and am now considered an adult. Facing all these brilliant people, I often feel ashamed of myself. Miss Yuchan, you mentioned Wei Xing, but I have no idea who he is. As for Wei Shu, that name I've only seen in history books.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

I have traveled thousands of miles, yet my horizons are still narrow, and I often feel ashamed of my limited knowledge. I only regret that time is not enough, and every moment cannot be split into two. All I can do is study diligently, practice hard, constantly supplement my knowledge, lest I become stagnant and ultimately be abandoned by the world.

Lian Yuchun was momentarily moved.

She felt admiration, but no words could express it.

Speaking of her, she was even a prodigy like Yuchan, the top figure in Xiangguo. But she often felt limited by her background. She believed that if she were born in a powerful empire or a prestigious family, she shouldn't settle for this and should strive for fame and recognition, like the Yellow River.

As for her background, she grew up reading a hundred classics, "The Book of Ten Thousand Ages" being just one. Yet, Jiang Wang could only recognize characters simply. Her father was the Great Pillar State, brilliant and wise, proficient in both literature and martial arts. Jiang Wang's father was just a humble herb merchant, with only some simple life lessons. She learned from renowned masters since childhood, while Jiang Wang could only pore over nameless sword manuals.

But today, who is called the peerless one, who is the world-renowned hero

Even if Jiang Wang died today, his name would already be recorded in history. But he is still striving forward, working tirelessly.

Lien Yuchan, Lien Yuchan, how can she blame herself and lament her own misfortune

Every day at the time of "Zi" (3-5 PM), people from Baiyu Palace would gather at the Jade Pavilion restaurant to discuss cultivation. Usually, either Jiang Wang or Jing Li would bring up a thought-provoking question about cultivation, and then everyone would brainstorm together, sparking each other's inspiration.

The drama of living here will also be a part of it, one that won't let you down.

As for the dishes, while White Jade Palace Restaurant has hired many chefs, they mostly come from small countries and are not highly regarded in the world.

As for alcohol, Baiyujing Restaurant only caters to the wealthy. It is still quite generous to ordinary customers. But it definitely lacks in class.

But if we're talking about the talents of its staff... it's completely worthy of being called the number one restaurant in the world!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Jiang Wang is a big boss who advocates for decentralization.

>

The talented Huang He, with his pure and flawless jade-like beauty, oversees all affairs of the winehouse, including finances.

On the first day of Rongguo's arrival, Jiao Lin admired the split wood and hired some men from the wine house.

Let me know if you have other content you'd like translated!

The daughter of the Great Pillar State, Lian Yuchan, served dishes and also acted as a maidservant to the Eastern House.

...The young monk Jingli of Xuankong Temple...under the instigation of Bai, the shopkeeper, opened a wine shop as a sideline business.

He sat on the stairs between the tenth and eleventh floors, with a pennant on each side.

On the left it is said: The Glass Buddha.

Right said: Sincerely open the light.

You're still not willing.

He only takes ten orders a day, and once he's finished, he goes back upstairs to meditate.

Only super-VIP guests of the wine house, who have dined from the first floor to the tenth floor and indulged in luxurious consumption on the tenth floor, have a chance to obtain a quota through a draw and be eligible to spend money on the opening ceremony!

Anything can be consecrated, Buddha said all beings are equal, anything can be taken to consecrate.

We didn't bring any, but the restaurant also has various souvenirs.

Of course, the price varies.

The restaurant's business was booming day by day, and everyone's cultivation also saw progress.

For everyone attending, this is a rare time of joy. There are no intrigues or rivalries, no jealousy or resentment. Everyone simply works, lives, and practices simply.

In this complex world, simple is not simple.

By the time the morning meditation session ended, it was noon and the tavern was bustling with customers. The crowd dispersed, leaving Jiang Wang to continue his practice diligently.

Fate didn't show up today. He sat there, meticulously observing Jiang Wang and said, "Is this how you live every day"

>

Jiang Wang was adjusting his Dao Yuan while casually saying, "How is life"

“Cultivation, cultivation, cultivation, discussing cultivation, or still cultivation.” Xi Mending said, “This is all I’ve seen these past few days.”

"That's probably right."

He flicked his finger, unleashing a wisp of jade-colored sword energy. It was Bai Yu Xia's Jade Cutting Sword Finger: "You said that my method of cracking this sword finger just now wasn't concise enough I always feel like I missed something."

Xi Mie had a somewhat helpless expression: "Perhaps you don't need to decipher it meticulously. Breaking his spirit platform at the second finger should suffice. His cultivation level is insufficient, leaving loopholes here."

Jiang Wang once again unleashed a strand of snow-white sword energy, clashing with the jade-colored sword energy. He focused intently and said: "What if his cultivation level were sufficient enough"

"Strike him directly," Fate said, "making his second finger's killing intent even fiercer. When he reaches his third finger, it will be difficult to connect. That's when another opportunity will arise."

"The art of the Slicing Jade Sword Finger is indeed a very demanding skill, requiring precise control." Jiang Wang watched the clashing sword qi intently. "You have a very direct way of thinking, which is quite rare.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Fate merely said, 'You're thinking about how to spar, I'm thinking about how to kill him. That's all.'"

Jiang Wang clenched his palm, shattering the two strands of sword energy within it. He slowly turned his head, fixing his gaze on Xi Ming's expressionless face: "Why do you want to kill him"

Xi Ming said calmly, "This is my way of thinking."

"Your way of thinking is dangerous," Jiang Wang said.

"So I'm called Destiny."

“I’ve been meaning to ask,” Jiang Wang said, “what brings you to Xingyueyuan I see you go out in the afternoon and return late every day, very busy.”

"Don't you wait for me to find a suitable time myself"

Jiang Wang shrugged: "I'm a person who does things based on my mood. Especially lately."

>

Xi Ming said in a firm tone, "You're not afraid of danger, but you are afraid of your friends being in danger. Rest assured, I have no interest in Bai Yu Xia."

Jiang Wang said: "Sometimes people have different definitions of danger. So what are you interested in"

“I’ll still answer your previous question,” Xi Ming said. “I came to Star Moon Origin to handle the business of Qianji Building.”

Jiang Wang sighed: "I really thought you were a businessman, then we could have chatted more."

The Fate said with a lighthearted tone, "It's not much different. I've been in business for years, so I don't play those kinds of games. Besides, my family's bigwigs are known as the Copper-Smelling True Monarch...there's nothing purer than money in this world, which proves that the merchant lineage is legitimate in Giant City."

The Qianji Tower is currently the number one commercial building in the world, and behind it stands the Mo Sect.

It is the product of Ju Cheng, hence the constant stream of exotic treasures, a variety of puppets catering to all needs, and intricate mechanisms...

The great figure of the Mohist school, Qian Jinhua, was called "the True Jun of Copper and Stink". This was a derogatory term, indicating that he had gone against the path of Mohism and betrayed the long-standing spirit of the Mohist tradition.

In theory, it should be a good weapon to attack the disciples of Mojia. If even your wealthy family members aren't pure enough, what kind of Mojia are you

But the tragic figure's proud bearing is indeed something that can't be seen as an offense.

Of course, Jiang Wang didn't care about these things. He only asked, "What is your relationship with Xi Xiangyi"

The girl I met outside Buqiong City two years ago saw through the extraordinary nature of the Ruyi Immortal Garment at a glance and wanted to buy it for a hefty sum. As it turned out, I indeed received a legacy from the Ruyi Immortal Garment itself.

Later, he found out that the short-haired girl with painted face was a genius girl from the Mo family, the manipulator of the Mojia's real person-level puppet Minggui, and also one of the two real person combat forces who had captured Huang Jinmo.

And he still doesn't know where his eldest brother, Zhu Wei, went.

He had asked too many people, but none of them had answers. He had checked too many leads, and they all turned out to be unrelated. The Wages of Sin has already asked Lian Que to help repair it, but that proud young man from the Cold Star Dawn remains silent.

When He and Xi Xiangyi had that chance encounter, he never thought that the city of Unredemption he left behind would crumble and vanish from existence.

"After a long moment of silence, Xi said, 'I treat myself as her elder brother.'"

"What to do"

"We're not related by blood, she's an orphan, and so am I."

"So, what brings you to the tavern" Jiang Wang asked.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Xi Mending said, "I was indeed just coming to Xingyue原 on business. She told me she had met you and wanted to buy your Ruyi Xianyi. So I came to take a look... Perhaps you are willing to sell it now She is a very pure child, with no interest in the inheritance of Ruyi Xiangong. She's just curious about how this Immortal Garment was made. I will give you a suitable price."

Jiang Wang looked at him and slowly said, "Zhu Wei, who disappeared after the battle of Buxu City two years ago, is my senior brother. He is someone I have always admired. Huang Yinmo, who was taken away by you without asking any questions, is my sister-in-law."

"She killed my talented Mohist disciple, Mo Jingyu. Tian Gong Zhenren only took her back for investigation."

"Two years have passed, what results has the investigation yielded" Jiang Wang asked.

"Jiang Wang raised his hand and said: “I, Jiang Wang, swear that Mo Jingyu's death has nothing to do with Huang Jinmo and Zhu Wei. The people I, Zhu Wei, killed, I will never deny.”

“I believe you,” Xi said, looking at him seriously. “But I believe you’re useless.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Jiang Wang put down his hand. This was indeed unnecessary to say. When he met Bei Gong Ke of Yong Guo outside Bu Xue City, he had been naive once.

He then picked up his own azure robe: "Regarding this Ruyi Immortal Garment, I have an idea for a suitable price."

Destiny shook her head. “This is not up to me,”

Jiang Wang's hand went down, only saying: "You can't live here anymore."

“Why” the drama asked him, “Didn’t you say we could talk about anything”

"This matter cannot be done."

"Alright!" the fortune teller shrugged. "Business is business, I paid today's rent, and I'll be gone by morning."

Jiang Wangdao: "Let's talk business."
