After becoming a Taoist partner with my senior sister, my master changed

Chapter 239 Malicious Competition

Lin Chuan, who had many years of experience as a clerk at Blue Star, quickly learned how to handle these daily affairs.

Jiang Si was very capable in handling affairs. Lin Chuan read all the comments and found almost no mistakes. She even thought about some aspects more carefully than Lin Chuan.

So, he turned his attention to the matters that Jiang Wanying had not yet reviewed.

"Has Achuan finished the examination?"

Jiang Wanying, who was concentrating on the matter at hand, keenly noticed the gazes from the side, turned her head and asked softly.

"Yeah." Lin Chuan nodded slightly.

"Are you tired? How about I take Ah Chuan back to the bedroom to rest?"

Jiang Wanying stopped writing and looked at Lin Chuan who was sitting next to her gently, her eyes full of concern.

"I'm not tired. Can I help Senior Sister deal with the matters that haven't been reviewed yet?"

Lin Chuan looked at the pile of documents next to Jiang Wanying, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.

"No, it's tiring to watch this. Ah Chuan can just sit next to me and keep me company. If you feel bored, my name is Jiang... You can go out for a walk by yourself, but you are not allowed to go too far."

Jiang Wanying gently touched Lin Chuan's head, her eyes full of doting.

"It's okay, I want to help my senior sister." Lin Chuan shook his head, his tone revealing stubbornness.

"Okay, then if you're tired, remember to tell me."

Jiang Wanying smiled helplessly, her eyes full of doting.

Time flew by as Lin Chuan remained absorbed in reviewing the documents. His brows would sometimes furrow, sometimes relax, the brush in his hand dancing across the paper.

Jiang Wanying took advantage of the break in handling affairs to take a few glances at the documents that Lin Chuan had reviewed.

She saw that the handwriting was neat and well-organized, and the analysis and judgment of various matters were quite accurate, without any mistakes. She couldn't help but have a glint of surprise in her eyes.

So, Jiang Wanying no longer had too many concerns and focused on dealing with more difficult matters.

The two of them were busy in the quiet room. Occasionally, a breeze would blow by, stirring up the papers on the table and making a rustling sound.

Before I knew it, the sun had set and a ray of afterglow shone through the window.

Lin Chuan turned his head to look at Jiang Wanying beside him, only to see that she was frowning slightly, wondering what she was thinking about.

The afterglow shone on her, outlining a soft outline, but also reflecting the worry that could not be hidden.

"Sister, are you in trouble? Why don't you tell me about it?" Lin Chuan asked softly, his eyes full of concern.

"Ah? Just some trivial matters, don't bother with them."

Jiang Wanying came to her senses and smiled gently at Lin Chuan.

"Senior sister, do you treat me as an outsider?" Lin Chuan pretended to be angry and asked with an unhappy look on his face.

"No, no," Jiang Wanying quickly shook her head, looking somewhat helpless. "It's just that there's a force that keeps trying to steal my business by offering lower prices..."

It turns out that Fengtian Pavilion's main business is to gather and sell intelligence, but now a force called Siqin Tower has suddenly emerged and has been in vicious competition with Fengtian Pavilion.

If Fengtian Pavilion sells a piece of information for 100 spirit stones, they will sell it for 90 spirit stones, no more, no less, and each time the price they offer is 10 spirit stones less than Fengtian Pavilion.

"Then if our information is worth 10 spirit stones, they can't just give it away for free, right?"

Lin Chuan frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"That's not the case. Siqinlou has another business, and that's the Flower House. We sell information for 10 spirit stones, and as long as they spend 10 spirit stones in the Flower House, we will give it to them for free." Jiang Wanying looked solemn and shook her head helplessly.

"Then do we have any information that Siqin Tower cannot obtain or is difficult to obtain?" Lin Chuan asked with a frown.

"No." Jiang Wanying shook her head slightly.

"Then can our price be lower than theirs?" Lin Chuan asked again.

"The price has dropped many times. If it drops further, we will lose spirit stones." Jiang Wanying still shook her head.

"Then Siqinlou will disgust us even if it loses money? Have you talked to Siqinlou? What do they say?" Lin Chuan's face was full of disbelief, with anger burning in his eyes.

"I went there in person, but I didn't even get to see the owner of the building." Jiang Wanying looked helpless.

"Now it seems there are only two options. One is to offer a price lower than Siqinlou's and see who can't hold on first."

"Another option is to ask the master for help."

After all, this is still the world of cultivating immortals, and it is ultimately a world where the strong prey on the weak.

"That's what I planned. Let Master go over and have a talk first. If we can't reach an agreement, then let's go to war."

Jiang Wanying nodded, then hugged Lin Chuan in her arms and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Are you tired, Senior Sister?" Lin Chuan tilted his head slightly, his eyes full of concern.

"No, I just want to hug Achuan."

Jiang Wanying's voice was soft, with a hint of doting and dependence, and she hugged Lin Chuan tighter.

"Then Senior Sister, please hold me. I will help you review the rest of these."

With that, Lin Chuan picked up his pen and continued writing furiously. Aside from occasionally asking Jiang Wanying questions when he wasn't sure how to make a decision, the only sound in the room was the scraping of the pen tip against the paper.

……

Xuanwu Holy Land.

Zhao Gang, who had been practicing for a whole day, had a numb face and empty eyes. He mechanically took the duck soup from the feminine man, then slowly brought it to his mouth and drank it woodenly.

Thinking back on those days, Zhao Gang was filled with helplessness and resentment. He had tried to resist, both verbally and physically, but to no avail.

When Zhao Gang scolded the feminine man, he turned a deaf ear to him and still had a hateful smile on his face; when he hit him, he was protected by the heavenly defensive treasure given by Long Zhantian, and no matter how hard Zhao Gang tried, he could not hurt the feminine man at all.

Zhao Gang once stormed into Long Zhantian's residence in a rage, pouring out all his dissatisfaction in his heart, using harsh words, almost pointing at Long Zhantian's nose and questioning him.

However, Long Zhantian just listened calmly, his face showing no emotion at all. After Zhao Gang finished speaking, Long Zhantian was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, his voice without a trace of warmth: "He doesn't need to serve you at night."

Zhao Gang was full of hope, thinking that things would turn around, but then Long Zhantian added, "Everything else remains the same.

These words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the hope that had just ignited in Zhao Gang's heart.

"You are awesome today, Master. I will go down first and come back to serve you tomorrow."

The feminine man took small steps and came to Zhao Gang, took the empty bowl of duck soup from Zhao Gang, and then left the room.

"No, I can't stay here any longer..."

……

Siqin Building.

The quiet room was shrouded in flickering candlelight, and the warm yellow light was scattered wantonly, casting a dreamlike veil over everything in the room.

A woman in an emerald green dress was standing behind a graceful woman with a focused look on her face, combing her long hair that looked like a waterfall.

"Haru, do you think I'm pretty?"

Qing Shu tilted her head slightly, looked through the bronze mirror, and quietly looked at the woman in green dress who was combing her hair.

"The master of this building is extremely beautiful, which makes this servant very envious."

Chun's voice was soft and melodious, full of sincere admiration. She carefully tied the woman's long hair and inserted a warm jade hairpin into it. She took a step back and looked at it carefully, her eyes full of admiration.

"Since it's beautiful, then why do you think he still doesn't miss me?"
