Chapter 572 Old classmate, wanna do a big business deal?
Zhengtian City, the Ye family.
"In the previous battle, we lost twenty Soul Saints and five Soul Douluos. Of the remaining Soul Saints, less than three-tenths still retain combat ability, and only eight Soul Douluos remain."
Ye Ling Shuang picked up the loss report in her hand and gestured to her deputy standing next to her to hand the information to Ye Nan Xiao.
A tall woman wearing glasses handed Ye Nanxiao a report on the Ye family's losses after the battle against the allied forces, then secretly glanced at Ye Ling Shuang, who was sitting in the main seat engrossed in reviewing documents.
"Could this be a clansman newly promoted from the lower five lineages by the patriarch?" the tall woman wondered to herself. "But where in the lower five lineages could such a genius be seated directly in the elder's position? Why have I never seen this clansman before?"
Ye Nanxiao quickly glanced at the documents Ye Ling Shuang handed him. Although the Ye family, under his command, had hastily prepared fortifications and formed a war squad formation to deal with the surprise attack by the allied forces, the time given to Ye Nanxiao to prepare was ultimately too short. In addition, the Ye family was not used to Ye Nanxiao's tactics, which resulted in casualties after the battle that were somewhat beyond Ye Nanxiao's expectations.
"This number is much larger than I estimated." Ye Nanxiao frowned. He hadn't expected the Ye family to suffer such heavy casualties. Nearly two-thirds of their Soul Saints had been killed in one fell swoop, and only half of their Soul Douluo-level combatants remained. This was undoubtedly a major blow to the Ye family's current situation.
"This will significantly delay the construction project. How much healing medicine and medicinal herbs are left in stock?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
"Our original stock of healing medicines was running low after we spent money rescuing our clansmen who were injured or killed. But after seizing the storage soul tools of the six people, including the leader of the Hook Claw Sect, Xu Lu, we now have more than 5,000 bottles of high-grade healing medicines, more than 2,000 bottles of top-grade healing medicines, a large amount of immortal herbs, and enough money to cover the Ye family's expenses for the next twenty years, as well as various weapons and rare metals." The tall woman adjusted her glasses and reported on the spoils of war seized from Xu Lu and his group.
"The harvest team is currently assisting the City Lord's Mansion in clearing the battlefield. The harvest after the battlefield is cleared will be reported together with the interrogation of the enemy Soul Douluo by the Discipline Hall."
When Ye Nanxiao heard how much rare metal Xu Lu and the others had, he wondered if he had misheard.
"Hello... um, what's your name?" Ye Nanxiao looked up at the tall woman.
"Elder, my name is Ye Yuan." The tall woman bowed to Ye Nanxiao.
"Okay, Miss Ye Yuan, could you repeat how much rare metal the Jietang seized from Xu Lu and the other six?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yuan quickly glanced at the information in his hand and said, "The Discipline Hall seized a total of one thousand catties of rare metals from the six Title Douluos, including Xu Lu, the sect leader of the Hook Claw Sect. The types of rare metals included..."
"Okay, I understand." Ye Nanxiao gasped. The rare metals on Xu Lu and the other six people combined were not even half the amount of temporary materials he carried in his storage ring.
These six people have all cultivated to the level of Title Douluo and are the leaders of a sect, so how come they have so little rare metal?
Could it be that they all left the soul tools for their own sects to make?
I didn't see the opposing group use any soul tools on the battlefield before.
"Soul tools are not popular in Zhengtian City. The people of Zhengtian City do not like the Sun Moon Empire, so naturally they do not like the soul tools that came from the Sun Moon Empire." Ye Ling Shuang put down her pen and picked up a document she had just finished reviewing.
Ye Yuan quickly stepped forward, took the document signed by Ye Ling Shuang, bowed, and hurriedly left.
"I've heard that the people of Tianhun don't really like soul tools, but this is the first time I've seen a situation like this." Ye Nanxiao recalled that the Ye family was able to block the first three rounds of attacks from the allied forces while hastily setting up defensive fortifications. This was partly due to the fact that the combatants of the allied forces did not use soul tools. These cannon fodder were truly cannon fodder, relying entirely on their own protective soul power for defense during the attack.
He devoted most of his time to hammering iron and being a full-time househusband. Even though Shrek Academy was located within the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire, he knew very little about the customs and culture of the Heavenly Soul Empire, even less than he knew about the Sun Moon and Star Luo Empires.
Xu Lu and his six companions were all titled Douluo, yet their soul tools were surprisingly "shabby." Ye Nanxiao could easily find a rogue soul master in Mingdu whose equipment was far superior to that of these six.
"It's normal for me to think this is your first time meeting them, after all, these six people are notoriously stubborn." Ye Ling Shuang tidied up the documents on the table and put them aside, then took out a new stack of documents to process.
Ye Nanxiao shook his head slightly. Disliking soul tools is not a big deal, but not accepting soul tools means being eliminated.
My lord, times have changed.
Just as Ye Nanxiao was lamenting that he had finally captured six Title Douluos but had gained nothing, Ye Yuan, the secretary who had left earlier, returned.
"Patriarch, Elders, distinguished guests from Tiandou City have arrived!" Ye Yuan said excitedly.
Ye Ling Shuang subconsciously looked at Ye Nan Xiao, only to see that the latter had a calm expression.
Tian Dou City is the imperial capital, so the only thing that could make Ye Yuan show such excitement is a visit from a major family in Tian Dou City.
What purpose do the major families of Tiandou City have in visiting the Ye family?
"Lead the way to the waiting room," Ye Nanxiao said.
Ye Yuan quickly walked ahead and went out.
Ye Nanxiao waited for Ye Ling Shuang for a moment, then lagged behind Ye Ling Shuang by half a body length.
Reception room.
Jia bowed to Ye Nanxiao and Ye Ling Shuang and said, "Patriarch Ye, we are from the Luo family of Tian Dou City. We heard that the Ye family was attacked by thieves, so the patriarch brought us to Zheng Tian City to offer our help."
"After we arrived in Zhengtian City, the patriarch ordered me to come ahead. This is the list of supplies brought by the Luo family." Jia Yi took out a document from his pocket and handed it to Ye Yuan.
Ye Ling Shuang waved her hand, signaling Ye Yuan to hand the supplies list to Ye Nan Xiao.
Jia glanced at Ye Nanxiao out of the corner of his eye and found him somewhat familiar. He leaned slightly towards Ye Nanxiao and asked in a low voice, "Elder, may I ask if you are from Shrek Academy?"
Upon hearing the question, Ye Nanxiao looked up at Jia Yi and instantly realized that he had never seen Jia Yi before.
"I do indeed come from Shrek Academy," Ye Nanxiao said truthfully. He was now traveling in the Heavenly Soul Empire under the identity of Ye Nanxiao.
"May I ask if you are Lord Ye Nanxiao?" Jia asked tentatively.
"It's me, but I don't know you." Ye Nanxiao recalled the people with the surname Luo that he knew, and then he thought of someone, his old classmate.
"Old classmate, long time no see! How have you been?"
Two maids from the Ye family led several people into the reception room. The person in the lead was Luo Xinyao, an acquaintance of Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao placed the list in his hand on the table beside him, stood up, walked forward, and extended his right hand.
Luo Xinyao knew some of Ye Nanxiao's habits, so she extended her right hand and shook hands with him lightly.
After taking their seats, Luo Xinyao first explained the Luo family's purpose to Ye Ling Shuang, then looked at Ye Nanxiao and asked, "Old classmate, are you interested in cooperating?"
The latest novel is first published here!
"I'm not picky when it comes to business. Please tell me in detail how I can help you." Ye Nanxiao gestured to the seat opposite him and took out a tea set from his storage ring, placing it on the small wooden table beside him.
With a slight tap towards the air, tiny streams of water melted out of thin air and fell into the teapot.
"This is also my business partner, Ye Ling Shuang. Ling Shuang, this is an old classmate of mine." Ye Nanxiao took the opportunity of brewing tea to act as the introducer.
Luo Xinyao was already used to Ye Nanxiao's usual enthusiasm, but Ye Ling Shuang was a little unaccustomed to it, because in her heart, Ye Nanxiao was not only her boss, but also her benefactor.
Serving tea and water shouldn't be done by the boss himself.
Ye Nanxiao glanced at Ye Ling Shuang, who came up to brew tea and pour water for him, and then pressed her down into the empty seat to his left. "Some of my rules are a bit different from what you know, so just observe."
"It's a good opportunity for us to discuss the collaboration face-to-face."
Hearing Ye Nanxiao's words, Ye Ling Shuang had no choice but to sit obediently in her seat and accept the teacup that Ye Nanxiao handed her.
Five cups of tea, each supported by a small piece of ice, flew to Luo Xinyao and her group.
Ye Nanxiao's actions greatly improved the impression of him among Jia Yi and the others.
"Old classmate, I have three collaborations. One is a business deal. I've wanted to buy the soul tool you've been researching for a long time, but I had some things to take care of at home, so I was delayed," Luo Xinyao said.
"Secondly, the Luo family wants to establish a stable cooperative relationship with the Ye family, which we will discuss later."
"Thirdly, old classmate, can you tell me where Shen Ciyuan went?"
After Luo Xinyao finished speaking, she picked up her teacup and took a small sip.
Ye Nanxiao lowered his head slightly and touched the tip of his nose. The first two collaborations—purchasing soul tools and connecting with him—were not a big problem. But the third one... he had a feeling that Luo Xinyao was coming to ask him, her unscrupulous boss, for a return to her husband.
I did set up a weekend shift system for Aodu.
Could it be that Shen Ciyuan didn't even send a letter to let us know he's safe?
"Well, Patriarch Ye, Miss Luo wants to cooperate with your family. Why don't you two have a chat?" Ye Nanxiao pushed Ye Ling Shuang forward.
Ye Ling Shuang sensed that Ye Nan Xiao seemed a little flustered, but she didn't think about it too much; her boss was very capable.
Luo Xinyao clapped her hands, and Jia Yi quickly took out several documents from his storage soul tool and handed them over.
Taking advantage of a spare moment, Ye Nanxiao quickly thought through the topics that Shen Ciyuan had discussed with him when he first started working.
He vaguely remembered that one of the topics was Shen Ciyuan asking him, "Could you give me another room in the staff dormitory? I don't have enough room for all my belongings!"
