Chapter 15: Gifting

uan Sheng said that he went back to the palace after waking up, of course, it was impossible to sleep until the sun was high in the sky.Before dawn had broken, when the sky was still dark, he hurried...A carriage rolled along the road, with two people sitting opposite each other.

The curtains fell gently, cutting off the noise and bustle of the street.

The body's engraved glyphs are sufficient to ward off prying eyes.

“What are you going to do” Jiang Wang asked.

Since they had already entered the Baozhu Chamber of Commerce, their whereabouts could no longer be concealed from Chongxuan Zun. To do anything, they needed to act quickly.

Because once Chongxuan Zun's subsequent actions begin, they will very likely be overwhelmed and run around frantically after that!

He didn't ask "what to do," because someone like Chong Xuan Sheng would never be at a loss.

For the Ju Bao Merchant Association, at this time they were already in a dominant position in the competition with the Si Hai Merchant Alliance, it was precisely the time to expand their advantage.

In the operation of a business in Yang Guo, it is indeed impossible to avoid dealing with the Chong Xuan family. As for whether the Chong Xuan family is headed by me or Chong Xuan Zun, there is no significant difference.

They chose to follow Chongxuan Zun because they believed that, at this time, Chongxuan Zun could give them greater help!

Zhong Xuan Sheng let out a ferocious roar: “I will make them understand, they were so wrong! Terribly wrong!”

It's a difficult thing to prove that the Precious Treasure Society is wrong.

Because they were actually right!

Setting aside the battle on Yangdi, Chongxuan was indeed able to provide greater help to the Jubao Merchant Association in every aspect.

He held a significant advantage over Chong Xuan Sheng in terms of both his personal network and influence within the family.

The people of the Ju Bao Chamber of Commerce are not blind fools, they are a group of extremely intelligent businessmen. In business matters, they only care about profits.

They partnered with Chong Xuan Sheng because they needed to bring down the Si Hai Merchant Alliance, and Yang Di just happened to offer a huge opportunity.

Now, the cooperation with Chongxuan is precisely because we have seen a brighter future.

But since Chongxuan Sheng said so, he must have his own train of thought.

Therefore, Jiang Wang only asked, "What do you need me to do"

"If I remember correctly, you have a good relationship with Xu Xiangqian of Qingya Academy, don't you" Chong Xuan Sheng asked.

Jiang Wang pondered for a moment: "It's considered a meeting of minds! However, we haven't spent much time together and I haven't seen if you'd be willing to help with anything major."

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

He needs to make his relationship clear so that Chong Xuansheng doesn't have any unrealistic expectations and ultimately affects his overall plan.

"It's enough that we hit it off! There's no need for you to go out of your way." Chong Xuan tapped his thigh. He wasn't in a specially made carriage, and he was quite constricted sitting in it, but at this moment, there wasn't time to worry about such things: "You just need to arrange a meeting with Li Longchuan through him."

"Have you seen Li Longchuan" Jiang Wang asked in confusion. "From that time outside the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm, it seemed like he didn't want to get involved in your dispute with Chong Xuanzun."

“I don’t need him to help me with anything big, just want to give him a gift.” Chong Xuan said: “A gift he can’t refuse!”

Jiang Wang raised an eyebrow: "Qiu Shan bow"

"Do you think he can refuse" Chongxuan Sheng asked.

After killing Ji Cheng, the heir of the Tianxiong Ji clan, the Qushan Bow passed down through generations became a war trophy for Chongxuan Sheng. This famous bow was a treasure, especially for those skilled in archery, it was more than just a divine weapon.

Chong Xuan generously presented gifts, indeed quite lavish.

Jiang Wang thought for a moment: "Any master archer couldn't possibly refuse the Qiushan Bow, but rashly offering such a heavy gift might make him hesitate."

Zhong Xuan said triumphantly, "That's exactly how it should be done. The Li family of Shímen has seen it all and have everything! If you send something too lightly, they won't even bother to look at it!"

Saying that, he took out a storage box and handed it over: "There is only one Qushan bow in this storage box. Please deliver it for me!"

This matter isn't troublesome, Xu Xiangqian is still in Linzi at this time. The Qingya Academy has a branch in Linzi, Xu Xiangqian invited Jiang Wang before, but due to repeated incidents, it never came to fruition.

Jiang Wang took the storage box and asked, "Is that all you brought as a gift"

Just send a gift, don't need to say anything else, or do anything else.

Jiang Wang nodded, indicating understanding: "I'll go right away. Is there anything else I need to be careful of"

Zhong Xuan Sheng fell silent for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at him and said, "Brother, you're going to drag me into another gamble with you!"

Jiang Wang just smiled and said, "You always have good luck with gambling!"

He rose and went away, lifting the curtain.

Looking at the lowered sedan curtain again, Chong Xuan sighed, "You don't even ask what's at stake in this game!"

Unlike this academy, the Qingya Linzi Guest House is just an ordinary school that teaches reading but not cultivation.

Since all those who establish schools and teach the way of cultivation in Qi state are under its jurisdiction. They have certain responsibilities and obligations during peacetime, and they cannot refuse to be conscripted during wartime.

... While the Qingshan Academy, as one of the Four Great Academies in the world and a leading institution among Confucian scholars, was unwilling to be restricted.

Because of these reasons, this courtyard does not allow the teaching of cultivation methods.

Of course, because Qiyacai Academy itself has no national stance, disciples from the academy have served in various countries. The Qi state wouldn't be too harsh or block its own talents either.

Apart from forbidding the teaching of cultivation practices, Qingya Courtyard was treated with considerable respect in other aspects.

Here, in this manor, there are especially intelligent and gifted studious seedlings. They also have the possibility of being selected to cultivate at our institute, thereby embarking on a path of transcendence.

Generally speaking, it's similar to a typical private school in most aspects.

Xu Xiangqian traveled to Qi and took the position of an academy master at his Qingya Linzi courtyard. After obtaining the divine seed of the Heavenly Treasure Secret Realm, he spent his days wandering around Linzi.

When Jiang Wang arrived at the courtyard, he wasn't there yet.

If not for the courtyard dean calculating the time and saying that the person would be back soon, Jiang Wang was still planning to go out and look around.

After less than two incense sticks of time, which was just a moment for him to nurture and recuperate on this solitary island, Xu Xiangqian returned with a flushed face and flowing robes.

"I'm back from my wind-catching journey, hey!" he exclaimed as he approached the courtyard. He saw that unusually large forehead coming towards him and said, "Isn't this Brother Jiang What wind brought you here"

Jiang Wang looked at him and asked, "Which way of the wind did you choose"

Xu Xiangqian let out a sly chuckle and lowered his voice, "Wenyushi."

But it wasn't because of embarrassment.

He glanced outward: "We mustn't let the old professor hear that."

"The so-called 'warm fragrance and soft jade', just by hearing the name, one can know what kind of place this Yu Shui Pavilion is."

As a core disciple of the Xiangqing Academy, and a student of the renowned scholar Mo Ya, this courtyard head, no matter how much of an "old scholar" he is, can't control him.

Just this alone shows that, although he may appear to be a rogue, he has a heart that respects his teachers deeply.

Jiang Wang smiled and said, "I'm ashamed to say that since our parting in the Heavenly Treasure Secret Realm, it has been a long time. I came to find Brother Xu today because I have something to ask of him!"

Xu Xiangqian immediately lifted his long shirt and sat opposite him, then said with a serious expression: "Brother Jiang, please feel free to speak."

Hesitation and roundabout tactics are not the way to make friends.

Jiang Wang also did not hide his intention to seek talents. He directly said, “Please, Mr. Xu, act as a go-between and arrange a meeting with Li Longchuan of the Shimen Li family!”

“What’s going on here!” Xu Xiangqian readily agreed.

"There's only one thing," he said seriously. "I'm only responsible for bringing you together, not for anything else. Whatever you discuss with him, I won't take a stance. Brother Longchuan and I are good friends, and I must not make things difficult for him!"

This is a true gentleman, straightforward and sincere, without any pretense or artificiality.

Jiang Wang nodded and said, "This is only natural!" was bribed by the owner of a small tavern... In short, it's a messy affair."Zheng Shi's abilities were absolutely top-notch. In a very short time, he reconstructed the entire process of how the membe...
