Chapter 587's purpose is to completely confuse Xu Tianran!
Ye Nanxiao gripped the little yellow tour guide flag in his hand. From the moment he stepped into the Aodu Building, his mind was racing.
The best way to deal with a suspicious person is to go along with their feelings and poke at them.
If you want to know the secrets of the Aodu Building, then I'll let you know in the easiest way.
And it's something you can easily obtain, but once you know the secret, can you understand it? That's the Achilles' heel of the suspicious.
The ground floors of the Aodu Building are used to operate various businesses of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.
"Come, Your Majesty, what you see now is the clothing business of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce. Here, the best clothing creators in the entire Mingdu are gathered. The Chamber of Commerce not only manipulates buying and selling, but also manufactures and sells." Ye Nanxiao held up a small yellow flag in his hand, presenting the first floor of the Aodu Building to Xu Tianran.
Li Yuanren immediately understood and began explaining to Xu Tianran the overall affairs that the first floor of the Aodu Building was responsible for.
Upon seeing Ye Nanxiao and his group, the people on the first floor were somewhat astonished. They saw their guild leader bending down to explain something to a young man sitting in a floating chair.
When the staff member saw the five bodyguards following Xu Tianran at a distance, a look of fear immediately appeared on his face.
Although the five guards had suppressed their killing intent, their eyes were incredibly sharp from years of walking in the shadows and killing enemies for Xu Tianran. The killing intent in their eyes could not be concealed.
In addition, as the emperor's bodyguards, they naturally did not need to conceal themselves excessively, which served as a deterrent.
When a staff member standing around the clothes rack saw the five bodyguards and Xu Tianran, his body trembled involuntarily, just like his companions.
However, he didn't lower his head quickly out of fear, but continued his work, using the parallax created by the angle of his head to conceal the intense hatred in his eyes.
Xu Tianran looked around at the surrounding facilities with curiosity, his fingers gently stroking the clothes on his body.
He recognized all the soul tools around him; they were all simple, basic soul tools used by ordinary people and posed no threat whatsoever.
"Your Majesty, how do the skills of my men compare to those of the Imperial Clothing Bureau?" Ye Nanxiao turned to Xu Tianran. "Your Imperial Palace must spend a lot on clothing. I have plenty of manpower. How about I give them some business so that Aodu can experience the high-end lifestyle of the royal family? We can split the profits 50/50, how about that?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran's lips curled up slightly. This person in front of him had actually dared to do business with the emperor. How interesting.
"You're quite interesting. You want to do business with the royal family? Fine, I grant your permission. However, the royal family will take the lion's share, and the profits will be split 20/80." Xu Tianran seemed to be enjoying himself. He recalled the time before he was made crown prince, when he had dealt with many aristocratic families. The stories of those times were full of wits and courage.
"Alright, it's settled then. The Aodu Chamber of Commerce will specially manufacture a portion of clothing for the royal family. As for reputation, the emperor shouldn't mind if we publicize it, right?" Ye Nanxiao didn't care how much profit Xu Tianran would make from the 20/80 split; that wasn't his goal.
"Propagate? You dare to bargain with me? That's quite amusing. But it's also a good thing for me to extend my benevolence to the common people." Xu Tianran's gaze swept over the row of staff members with their heads down.
"With the royal name, our clothes will sell like hotcakes. Just imagine how many emperor's supporters will rush to buy clothes made by the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, serving the royal family. You might even have to open up a special street to prevent traffic jams on First Avenue. Those jealous people will drive you crazy." Ye Nanxiao led Xu Tianran and his group toward the elevator.
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran pondered the meaning of "sour nose" for a moment. Wasn't this referring to those ministers in the court who only bothered him with their occasional groans?
"Heh, that makes a lot of sense." Xu Tianran had already mentally labeled those useless court officials as "sour noses."
They have no real ability but rely on their ancestors' legacy to act arrogantly and domineeringly. All they do all day is envious and scheming about how to seize more benefits. Isn't that just sour grapes?
This Mu Shiyi is quite to my liking.
After the group entered the elevator, the young man who had been keeping his head down slowly raised his head.
"Bai Gui, look at that group of people just now, they looked so fierce. Did the guild leader bring in a bunch of assassins?" a companion said, then turned around and was frightened by the young man's bloodshot eyes.
Bai Gui immediately pretended that some dust had gotten into his eyes, rubbing them and forcing a smile. "It's nothing, it's just that some dust got into my eyes and they hurt a little."
Seeing this, his companion patted his chest and said, "You scared me to death just now! I thought you were going to steal your dinner for tonight and tomorrow night!"
Bai Gui chuckled and laughed it off, then continued fiddling with the clothes in his hands.
"I can't be mistaken, that's Xu Tianran! That devil!" Bai Gui's hands gradually clenched.
A trickle of blood seeped through his fingers and onto the smooth floor.
Bai Gui took a deep breath, trying to suppress the burning fire of revenge burning in his chest. His family was shattered because of the royal family. He hated the Sun and Moon Royal Family, and his sister had been personally thrown into a death row by Xu Tianran.
That was his last remaining relative in this world!
"Sister! I live for those who can never come back!" Bai Gui suppressed his vengeful rage, not letting himself lose his mind. He had been lying low for so many years, he wouldn't lose his mind and rush to kill his enemy on the spot.
Suddenly, a large hand pressed down on Bai Gui's shoulder.
Bai Gui turned his head instantly, his left hand instinctively resting on his waist.
"Kid, your skills aren't up to par, and your concealment is lacking too." Su Rang placed a large hand on Bai Gui's shoulder and smiled at him.
"The boss brought you back not so you could exist like a firework in the vast universe. You need to work on your facial expressions. Go wash your eyes." Su Rang put his arm around Bai Gui and led him away from his work station.
Feng Shiyi stood at the doorway, watching quietly as Su Rang took Bai Gui away, then looked worriedly toward the elevator.
Bai Gui was one of the members that Ye Nanxiao had specially asked her to train, so she naturally knew that Bai Gui's background was not simple.
"The herb-gathering girl's brother? He's so eager to die, isn't he?" Feng Shiyi crossed her arms, lost in thought, then touched the disguise mask on her face as if she had just realized something.
The realistic feel of the mask, resembling human skin, was particularly repulsive to Feng Shiyi, as it brought back some dark memories.
"Captain, what do we do next?" Xu Zhen scratched his head and touched the leather strap tied to his back, which was the sheath he used to store his martial spirit.
Both he and Su Rang had once survived in the cracks of the underworld, living their lives amidst blood and fire. Although they had now stepped into the world of light, they still felt disgusted when they saw officials, let alone the current Emperor of the Sun and Moon.
He was afraid that Xu Tianran had come to give the Aodu Chamber of Commerce a hard time. Having finally felt warmth in the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, Xu Zhen didn't want his current home to be destroyed.
The latest novel is first published here!
Upon hearing Xu Zhen's question, Feng Shiyi shook her head slightly. She had also been suddenly informed of the arrival of the current Sun and Moon Emperor, Xu Tianran, at the Aodu Building. Since Ye Nanxiao was leading the way for Xu Tianran, he obviously had no opportunity to give her instructions, so she could only wait quietly.
However, Feng Shiyi was unsure whether she should issue the order to seal off the secret floors on behalf of Ye Nanxiao. Those floors contained real secrets, such as the armor project that Ye Nanxiao was personally overseeing.
However, if the shutdown order were actually issued, it might be discovered by Xu Tianran's bodyguard, which would then arouse his suspicion.
"Trust the boss," Feng Shiyi said, telling Xu Zhen to wait for Ye Nanxiao's orders.
"The captain is right. Since the boss isn't panicking, we can't afford to lose our composure. With the two of us here, the Aodu Building will be fine!"
Now dressed in the uniform of the Okudo Chamber of Commerce, Wuyun spoke up, though her words were comforting, her face was serious.
"The boss intends to take Xu Tianran to Zhang Peng's place. Perhaps this was already part of the boss's plan," Wu Yun said.
The Aodu Building had been secretly surrounded by the people brought by Xu Tianran, and Wu Yun also sensed a familiar aura from Xu Tianran.
"Shadow Douluo, Xue Chen, this old guy is actually still alive." Wu Yun frowned, his gaze gradually moving upwards, staring at the ceiling, as if looking through layers of obstacles to the dark shadow behind Xu Tianran.
Xu Tianran, who was observing the second floor of Aodu with great interest, suddenly heard Xue Chen's soul power transmission.
"Your Majesty, there is a Title Douluo powerhouse in this building!" Xue Chen's voice rang in Xu Tianran's ears.
This caused Xu Tianran, who had been wearing a gentle expression, to turn cold.
"Elder Xue, do you know which Title Douluo it is?" Xu Tianran asked.
"I don't know for now, but the opponent's cultivation level is very likely above mine," Xue Chen replied. He could sense the soul power fluctuations of a Title Douluo, but he couldn't specifically sense the opponent's cultivation level.
"After all, the Aodu Chamber of Commerce is incredibly wealthy, so it's not difficult for them to hire a Title Douluo. It seems that the Aodu Chamber of Commerce has developed extremely rapidly since the change of its president."
"That old bastard An Litong is unwilling to invest such a large sum of money." Xu Tianran's smile reappeared.
When An Litong was in charge of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, he was one of the three major underground giants in Mingdu. However, An Litong's limit was limited, and he could not go any further because he was unwilling to take risks.
"How many more surprises can he give me? I'm getting more and more excited."
It felt like suddenly discovering that one of your subordinates had undergone a significant evolution—that was a fucking huge surprise!
While introducing the second floor, Ye Nanxiao also kept an eye on the micro-expressions on Xu Tianran's face.
"Why is this guy suddenly excited when he sees men's underwear? Could he be gay?" Ye Nanxiao looked at the men's briefs on the shelves around him and suddenly felt a chill. He quickly took two steps away from Xu Tianran.
