“Yes, Vice Dean Qing Yan speaks correctly. From now on, our academy takes forty percent, Ling Xiao you take sixty percent. After all, this Return to Heaven Spirit Pill formula is yours. This is what you rightfully deserve.”
The white-bearded elder pondered and said.
“Since the dean says so, this disciple will not decline.”
Ling Xiao nodded. Lately, he needed more and more spirit stones. With the academy offering this split, he had no reason to oppose.
Moreover, opposing would likely make the other party overthink.
He also could not let the academy feel the formula was too worthless, otherwise they would inevitably grow lax.
These three high-level figures of the academy were still very capable. No wonder they had endured for so many years, standing firm under various unfavourable situations without being completely defeated by Shen Huang Academy.
“Dean, Boss Yun Ya of Tianlong Auction House requests an audience outside!”
While everyone discussed follow-up matters, someone came in to report.
“Quickly invite her!”
The white-bearded elder hurriedly said.
In this incident, Yun Ya’s Tianlong Auction House had given Qing Xu Academy great support. As dean, he naturally felt doubly fond of this Yun Ya.
Moments later, Yun Ya’s graceful figure arrived from outside. Without speaking, her silvery bell-like pleasant voice rang out.
“Hehehe, everyone is here. Yun Ya pays respects to you all.”
This woman entered the council hall like a blooming rose unfurling in the hall, fragrance overflowing. Her voice, appearance, and smile stunned many, nearly captivating them.
Even Ling Xiao felt his eyes brighten momentarily.
Yun Ya had clearly dressed carefully. A high-slit ancient-style long skirt tightly wrapped her alluring figure.
Though not revealing, the innate seductiveness exuding from her bones still left people entranced.
“A rare beauty!”
This was what everyone in the hall thought.
Including the female high-level figures, all subdued by Yun Ya’s charm.
But the high-level figures here had mostly seen the world.
After a moment’s daze, they quickly returned to normal.
The white-bearded elder smiled faintly. “Boss Yun Ya coming to our Qing Xu Academy truly brings splendour to our humble abode. Please sit. Someone, quickly prepare tea. Do not neglect our great benefactor!”
In fact, even without this incident, the white-bearded elder would absolutely not offend Yun Ya.
Because he knew clearly how vast her backing was. This woman was definitely not just a mere Holy Dynasty princess.
It was said that when she was very young, she followed Ji Fu Ling and Yu Xuan Yue to the Heaven’s Chosen Giant Gate. Later, she returned alone to Tianlong Continent.
When asked what happened, she claimed to have forgotten everything.
Many tried to force her to reveal Heaven’s Chosen Giant Gate details. None lived past the second day.
After that, everyone knew this woman’s terror.
“Dean is too polite. How have I helped? In the end, it is Young Hero Ling who is formidable. We are also beneficiaries this time.”
Yun Ya smiled lightly, charm blooming instantly.
“Princess Yun Ya, no need to call me young hero in future. Just call me Ling Xiao. By rights, you are my elder.”
Ling Xiao smiled slightly.
He had not liked this young hero title before but had not opposed it.
But now, called so in front of so many, he truly felt uncomfortable.
What young hero.
He, Ling Xiao, did not qualify as a hero.
A great hero serves country and people.
He was far from that.
“I have not asked yet, Boss Yun Ya, what brings you to Qing Xu Academy this time?”
Feng Qing Yan asked with a smile.
“Actually, nothing special. Mainly to make a deal with you.”
Yun Ya said breezily.
“A deal?”
“Yes. You must know, though the Return to Heaven Spirit Pill is not high-grade, it sells extremely well on Shen Huang Continent, Tianlong Continent, the Five Immortal Islands, and the Six Great Martial Sect Islands. Even on White Tiger Continent, it has good sales.”
Yun Ya replied. “My proposal is, in future, we fully supply herbs to Qing Xu Academy. As for pill sales on Tianlong Continent, White Tiger Continent, Five Immortal Islands, and Six Great Martial Sect Islands, leave it to Tianlong Auction House. Final profits split fifty-fifty. How about it?”
“Great news!”
Feng Qing Yan’s eyes lit up at once.
Qing Xu Academy’s influence reached at most Shen Huang Empire and surrounding small countries on Shen Huang Continent. Further away, they could not control.
If Tianlong Auction House cooperated to sell pills for them, it was a match made in heaven. Absolutely a win-win.
“But Boss Yun Ya, I have always not understood. From previously cutting off herb supplies to Shen Huang Academy, to now helping us sell pills, all these are great benefits to Qing Xu Academy. Why do you do this?”
Feng Qing Yan was cautious. Lately, Tianlong Auction House had been too good to Qing Xu Academy, so he inevitably worried about other intentions.
Yun Ya giggled. “I have long heard Vice Dean Qing Yan is meticulous. Seeing you today proves it. Actually, no other reason. We are just entrusted by someone. We received sufficient benefits. Now do you understand?”
“Could it be the expert behind Ling Xiao?”
Feng Qing Yan exclaimed.
“Hehe, you can think that. Or, that Ling Xiao gave us sufficient benefits.”
Yun Ya chuckled. “From now on, at least on Shen Huang Continent, you and we will be allies in the same trench.”
“So it is!”
Feng Qing Yan looked at Ling Xiao with even more admiration and confusion.
He did not know what benefits Ling Xiao gave Yun Ya to make the always neutral Tianlong Auction House decide this.
“Sigh, you truly accepted a good student. Truly do not understand. Did Shen Huang Academy go blind back then? Such a good student, they would not accept.”
Yun Ya sighed, somewhat enviously.
“Hahaha, Boss Yun Ya speaks well. But if Shen Huang Academy had not been blind, how could we have the chance to accept such a good student.”
Huo Pi Li laughed heartily.
“Indeed! Alright, today’s matters are clear. For the formal trade contract, once you prepare, come to Tianlong Auction House to sign. Anytime.”
Yun Ya spoke, then stood lightly with a smile. “May I borrow Ling Xiao for a while?”
“Of course. Ling Xiao, see Boss Yun Ya off.”
Feng Qing Yan smiled at Ling Xiao.
“This disciple obeys!”
Outside, Ling Xiao suddenly looked at Yun Ya. “This deal does not seem to be my request, right?”
“What? Young hero unhappy?”
Yun Ya paused and asked.
She originally did this to please Ling Xiao. But now she suddenly felt Ling Xiao seemed unhappy, naturally worried in her heart.
