Chapter 276 The Ritual Sense of Life

It was night, in a villa in the northern suburbs of Yu'an, a long-haired man in a nightgown was lying on the sofa and smoking a cigarette, while in front of him was kneeling a middle-aged man with a gloomy expression.

If Tao Guoyuan was here, he would think that the middle-aged man was his immediate boss, Xu Zhenhai!

As the master of the Jiuchuan Xu family, he could only kneel in front of this man. It was hard to imagine what kind of man he was.

Xu Zhenhai knelt on the ground, trying to keep his head down. He had been kneeling here for almost half an hour, and he didn't dare to get up without an order.

"Tell me, how did the investigation go?" Xu Liwen looked at Xu Zhenhai and asked calmly.

When Xu Zhenhai heard this, he raised his head and shook his head in embarrassment, "I can't find any clues, and the people of the Lu family are tight-lipped, and they can't open their mouths at all."

Xu Liwen frowned and stubbed out the cigarette in his hand.

He came to Yu'an this trip to investigate the matter of the Yuanling Pill. After the Xu family got wind of the Yuanling Pill, he specially sent Xu Zhenhai to bid for a Yuanling Pill at the Lu Family Auction, and gave the Yuanling Pill to the family. After the elders read it, the Xu family discovered an astonishing fact, that Yuanling Pill not only has the ability to turn ordinary people into cultivators, but even for cultivators, the spiritual power contained in the pill is of great benefit.

He came to Yu'an just to find the owner of the Yuanling Pill auction, so that he could get the formula of the Yuanling Pill from the owner of the pill.

If this kind of treasure is produced with energy, the strength of the Jiuchuan Xu family will definitely be greatly improved.

"You are the pinnacle master of the eighth rank!" Xu Liwen said in a deep voice, frowning.

How many grand masters above the eighth rank of the Lu family are there? Wouldn't it be okay to go after the weaker Lu family?

"Those Lu family members who know about it have shadows behind them, and it's hard for me to do anything." Xu Zhenhai hurriedly replied.

Although he is an eighth-rank master, in terms of his status in the Xu family, he is completely on par with Xu Liwen!

Xu Liwen is the son of Xu Tianhou, the current head of the Xu family, and he is just a cultivator cultivated by the Xu family. Even the surname "Xu" was given by the family.

What's more, Xu Liwen's strength is far above him.

"A net of heaven and earth?" Xu Liwen frowned.

It's just an auction, how could Tianluodiwang be involved? Could it be said that the owner behind Yuanling Pill is a member of Tianluodiwang?

Xu Liwen shook his head lightly, he could only figure out a solution in the future.

"What about Xu Chenxuan?" Xu Liwen continued to ask.

On the surface of Xu Chenxuan's affairs in Jiangdong, Tao Guoyuan was in charge, but it was Xu Zhenhai who reported to the family.

Xu Zhenhai froze, his face extremely pale.

"Failed, the other party doesn't seem to care about the Xu family at all." Xu Zhenhai said, cold sweat broke out on his temples.

Xu Chenxuan has branches all over the country. This is the main pillar industry of the Xu family in the mundane world. He would never have imagined that his own negligence would cause problems in the Jiangdong area he was in charge of.

"Oh? It's rare in Huaguo to dare to provoke the Xu family. Is he a member of the other three families?" Xu Liwen asked with interest.

Xu Zhenhai shook his head, suddenly he seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said, "I saw him at the Lu family's auction, he seems to be very close to the Lu family's Lu Qianqian and the Lin family's Lin Yuqing.

"

Hearing this, a look of disdain appeared on Xu Liwen's face.

Families like the Lu family and the Lin family are nothing more than ants that can be crushed to death in front of the Jiuchuan Xu family.

"Young Patriarch, please rest assured, I will try my best to reach a cooperation with the other party!" Xu Zhenhai lowered his head and said in a low voice.

The eighth-rank master is somewhat a big man in the secular world, but in the Xu family of Jiuchuan, he is just a guardian of the Xu family's home.

"No need." Xu Liwen raised his hand and said.

Xu Zhenhai raised his head and looked at Xu Liwen suspiciously.

"Xiyu, it seems to be a very interesting company, so why don't you go with me tomorrow." Xu Liwen said lightly.

Xu Zhenhai couldn't understand what Xu Liwen meant for a while.

"It's better for us to let our Xu family control this kind of company. After we buy it, it's not a matter of cooperation." Xu Liwen said lightly.

Xu Zhen Haimian

With a look of shock, he quickly lowered his head and said, "Understood!"

"Go down." Xu Liwen waved his hand.

Hearing this, Xu Zhenhai bowed his head and got up as if he had received an amnesty, and slowly backed away.

"Wait!" Suddenly, Xu Liwen said again.

Xu Zhenhai froze, lowered his head carefully and asked, "Is there anything else I need to order?"

"Breakthrough to rank nine within a month, I, Xu Liwen, don't need a dog that is too weak, understand?" Xu Liwen said in a deep voice.

When Xu Zhenhai heard this, he nodded quickly and said, "This subordinate will definitely do it!"

"Go on." Xu Liwen said a little tiredly.

It wasn't until he left the villa that Xu Zhenhai heaved a sigh of relief. When he came back to his senses, he realized that his back was completely soaked in sweat.

Breaking through to rank nine in one month, he had to do it no matter what, otherwise what awaited him would be an unbearable punishment.

...

Zhou Ran woke up and was about to wash up when he saw Xiao Jingyu coming out of the kitchen.

She held a plate of fried eggs in her hand, and there were two bowls of porridge on the table, which were steaming.

"Let's eat at home in the future." Xiao Jingyu said with a smile, putting the fried eggs on the dining table.

"Just buy some outside, there's no need to waste precious sleep time." Zhou Ran said, looking at the breakfast on the dining table.

Xiao Jingyu gave him an angry look, "Life needs a sense of ritual, what do you know, go wash up and get ready for dinner!"

Zhou Ran shook his head slightly, he is a rough man, he can eat anything.

However, the breakfast was placed on the dining table, which added a bit of fireworks to the villa. The previous house was too deserted.

"Let's just eat it today. After get off work tonight, I will find a way to contact Yuxianlou to get some ingredients from them, and I will eat it at home later." Xiao Jingyu said excitedly as she placed the tableware.

Seeing this, Zhou Ran didn't say anything. Since she likes this kind of life, she should live it like this.

"How does it taste?" Xiao Jingyu looked at Zhou Ran with interest and asked.

"It looks good, and it tastes even better." Zhou Ran looked at the heart-shaped egg on his plate and said with a smile on his face. He always felt that Xiao Jingyu today had some changes compared to before, but he couldn't tell what the changes were.

"Eat more if it tastes good, and go to work quickly after eating." Xiao Jingyu said happily.

From now on, she will start a new life and bid farewell to the previous Xiao Jingyu.

"Yeah." Zhou Ran nodded and drank two mouthfuls of porridge. Not to mention, the food made at home seems to be more delicious than outside.

Perhaps, this is the so-called sense of ritual that life needs?

After dinner, the two went to work together. Today, Zhou Ran and Zhang Yuan are going to discuss the opening of a physical store. Today's Xiyu needs to develop rapidly both online and offline.
