Zhou family mansion.

In the study, Zhou Jiyuan quietly examined a list of supplies in his hand, and there was no expression on his clear face. Zhou Lingfeng sat opposite him, waiting patiently.

After a while, the door opened silently, the butler walked in, saluted and asked softly, "Class leader, do you have something to come to me?"

Zhou Jiyuan didn't raise his head and asked in a plain voice: "Have you sent the batch of supplies you arranged yesterday to the Jixing Temple?"

"Your Matriarch, because the list has a wide variety of supplies, it is difficult to sort out for a while! In addition, a few rare products are out of stock, so they have not been sent yet!" The butler said respectfully.

"Out of stock?" Zhou Jiyuan raised his eyebrows and asked calmly:

"I seem to remember that the family's transportation fleet arrived in the imperial capital a few days ago and brought back all the resources and income from the family's territory this year! Even those high-value resources have a lot of inputs in the warehouse. Why is it out of stock in just a few days?"

"This..." The housekeeper stopped and immediately explained:

"Your Excellency, according to the practice of previous years, these resources will be divided into part of them to reward members who contribute to the family, and part of them will be used to trade with other families, and the rest will be deposited in the warehouse! All accounts have been listed and there is no balance! So it is difficult for subordinates to make a decision!"

"It's hard to decide?" Zhou Jiyuan frowned secretly and asked again:

"But I heard that the young master of the Liu family suddenly said that he would buy some things from the family, including Posera crystal sand, Xiling stone, and eleven rare resources, and the quantity was quite large! But I specifically ordered these to be given priority to the Jixing Temple! I wonder why you arranged this way?"

The housekeeper was secretly shocked and said quickly: "Your Excellency, the cooperative relationship between the Liu family and the family has been going on for many years, and there have been many such business deals in the past years! Therefore, my subordinates have agreed to them in advance for this transaction!"

Zhou Lingfeng lowered his head and drank tea. A faint coldness appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Zhou Jiyuan didn't say anything, and looked at the old man who had followed him for many years with sharp eyes. After a while, he said, "It's hard to think carefully for you! Well! You have been with me for many years, right? There are hard work without credit, so I think it's necessary to reward you well!"

The butler felt something was wrong and said humbly: "It is the duty of his subordinates to contribute to the family!"

"If you have merits, you should be rewarded. If you have mistakes, you must be punished! Only by clearly distinguishing rewards and punishments can you reflect the fairness and authority of the senior members of the family!" Zhou Jiyuan said lightly,

"Since you are so willing to plan for the family, why don't I give up the position of patriarch to you! In the future, I will leave all the affairs of this family to you to make decisions! How about it?"

The butler's face turned pale and he quickly said, "Your Matriarch, this is impossible! I will never dare to have such inappropriate thoughts!"

"Do you know that this is a non-decision?" Zhou Jiyuan's voice turned cold.

"Did you ever have such an idea when you were making decisions without authorization? You dare to agree to such an important business without knowing that the family dares to make your own decisions! Who gives you the power? Leave family secrets to the children of foreign clans without permission, and you are so embarrassed to call yourself a member of the family!"

"What? This...This..." The butler's face finally changed color, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Zhou Jiyuan threw the list in front of him and sneered: "Don't think it's strange! Someone suspected you more than a year ago! But I have been holding back and forth. For the sake of your hard work for the family for many years, I will give you a chance. I hope you can return to the future. Unfortunately, you finally disappointed me!"

"You should know that this material was prepared by the family for Xiao Junling! But you gave the list to the third young master of the Liu family, and then the guy took some valuable local specialties. He planned to exchange all the scarce resources on the list! As for the tens of millions of benefits he gave you, I think it has already arrived in your bank account?"

"Also, you usually tell the guy about the whereabouts of the second lady, and even install a wiretap machine in her residence. There is no need to say about these things! I really don't understand where the family is sorry for you? Do you want to do this kind of traitor?"

"..." The butler looked like a mortal face, and he wanted to break open the door and escape. But after looking at Uncle Qing standing next to him and Zhou Lingfeng above him, he finally gave up his mind and said dejectedly:

"Forget it! Your Matriarch, I'm sorry for the family! I...I..."

Zhou Jiyuan looked at him with regret and waved his hand, "Uncle Qing, take him out! Ask everything clearly, and then leave it to the family council to make a decision to see what to do with this guy!"

Uncle Qing nodded silently, and two high-level psychics came in outside the door and raised the butler who was ashamed.

"The child is planning to set off after the New Year!" Zhou Lingfeng put down the teacup in his hand and said leisurely:

"There is nothing to worry about with that child Zhou Yun following him! However, hasn't he decided to go to which star field he plans to go to yet?"

Zhou Jiyuan looked at him and said, "He has his own plans for this matter, and I won't ask too much! Well! I heard that the man gave him a war fortress, and several other families have expressed that our Zhou family should not be stingy, so we will provide him with a batch of energy crystals! Anyway, there is enough space in that big guy! I'm not afraid of not being able to hold it!"

Zhou Lingfeng nodded and said with some emotion: "I really didn't expect that this child's strength would improve so quickly! My injury is almost healed! The seventh-level vitality is revitalized, and the effect is indeed extraordinary!"

"I really look forward to how many more surprises he can bring to us in the future!"

…………

The fourth planet.

In a high-end club in Tianjin, the Saint Yan sat leaning against the window, looking casually at the crowd on the street below. After a while, she turned her head sideways, squinted her eyes, stared at the boy sitting opposite her, and chuckled:

"It's indeed a breakthrough! It seems that the thing works well!"

Xiao Junling asked, "Are you all released the things at the auction?"

"Of course, your wrist guards are also in your human world, but that highness fell into the hands of our powerful men in the Beiming Prison!" Yan Li said without hesitation.

"Why do you do this? Don't you know, is this equivalent to helping me?" Xiao Junling asked curiously.

"Your talent is destined to be destined to advance even if you don't have these resources, it's only a matter of time before you advance! Your teacher will not be stingy to you!" Yanli said with a smile.

"Besides, I spent too much in those days. Your Chinese officials have an over-appetizing and are only willing to collect energy! Sister, I have no choice but to sell some things for money!"

"..." Xiao Junling sighed and said nothing.

"I'm going back in a few days, sister!" Yanli said again. "So come over to see you before leaving and discuss a deal with you!"

"What are you going to talk about?" Xiao Junling's expression suddenly became alert.

Yanli blinked, covered her mouth and chuckled, "Don't be so nervous, I won't let you do something that goes against the principles! I just want to ask you to change something!"

"What?"

"All the items on the Sixth Prince have fallen into your hands, including those high-level potions in the dimensional space necklace, right?" the saint said seriously.

Xiao Junling nodded. This may be a secret, but she must have known it.

"Very good, I need that batch of potions now!" Yan Li said,

"Leave it to me! I will give you a price that satisfies you! According to the past traditions of the two countries, prisoners with high enough status can all exchange ransoms for freedom. Including their own equipment and items! As long as the price is appropriate, such exchange does not violate the principle! What do you think?"

"Is there something that makes you excited?" Xiao Junling asked curiously.

He had seen all those things. Although they were precious, they were nothing with Yanli’s identity! There were only three of them with special potions with royal emblems, which seemed a bit unusual because the energy pressure inside was too strong!

"Yes, I need those three bottles of Holy Blood Flame!" Yanli did not hide it.

"That is the secret sacred medicine of the royal family. It is difficult for our temple to get it normally! So I must get this!"

"You told me everything, aren't you afraid that I will shout prices all over the sky?" Xiao Junling asked with a smile.

Yanli gave him a charming look and said with a smile: "Okay! Call me! As long as you dare to accept it, I will dare to give it away!"

"...Okay!" Xiao Junling shook his head and said:

"I spent a lot of money on those things I bought from you last time. Just return the money to me! These potions are all yours!"

"that's all?"

"Yes, that's it!"

"It's so strange, why don't you ask for more?" Yanli asked with interest, "Sister, I'm ready to be slaughtered by you!"

"Do you like being slaughtered? What if I shout a price and you can't give it?" Xiao Junling was speechless.

"I can't give it..." Yan Li thought for a while with a headache, and his beautiful eyes suddenly lit up:

"I have it! Then I will mortgage my sister to you, as a part of the ransom! How about it? Is this proposal good?"

"...Forget it, pretend I didn't say it!" Xiao Junling rolled his eyes and took out the potions from the dimensional space bracelet and handed them to her.

After she checked, the beautiful tentacle handed over a box:

"Sister, I have no money now! There are 30 kilograms of star zirconium jade and fifty star pattern carbon crystals, which are considered as ransom! Isn't it a problem?"

"Okay!" Xiao Junling took the box, but her wrist was entangled.

"The last time! Is it OK?" she looked at the boy with a bent eyes and said.

He sighed and said nothing. Yanli cheered and couldn't wait to get up. His snow-white and neat teeth bit through the blood vessels and sucked intoxicatedly.

"... Sure enough, after advancement, the taste has become much stronger!" She looked at the boy reluctantly and said quietly:

"I really don't know when I will have another chance to taste it!"

Xiao Junling snorted: "There is no chance! Unless you Beiming Prison people can enter the imperial capital!"
