Money 2

Information regarding Lei Family in Hefei City beginning to sell and export a product named Green Heart started spreading instantly to everywhere, even towards the proper places on the Ohin continent.

The reason why it spread there in under a week was that a rogue cultivator who got this information in Hefei City risked his life to be the first one to sell this news piece he got about Green Heart to both Bald Eagle and Liang Dynasties.

The information letters he sold fly so high up the ranking of those factions that it even arrived in front of the eyes of particularly powerful individuals.

One of these was the current Empress of the Liang Dynasty, a character who sits at the very pinnacle of this continent.

In terms of national influence since she lords over the Liang Dynasty and in martial proves since her own combat power is at the peak of Body Limit realm.

This Empress was having an everyday court day packed with the usual concerns occurring everywhere around her Empire, yet the woman in her hanfu dress seemed not to be interested in these.

Until one of her advisors informed about this Greenheart matter and hearing about it even, she was astonished that how could a place like that invent something so potent,

She wastes not a small amount of money on her own nations research teams who during her rain hadn't come up with anything.

While this Greenheart mix had come from some rogue cultivator who had negotiated about retailing this item through a tiny family called Lei Family somewhere in the wastes; the name Hefei City had been mentioned yet she skipped it.

She wanted nothing more than to march towards the laboratories and trash some researchers that she had paid while gaining nothing, yet before she did so, a giant hand came from her right preventing her from doing so.

However, the woman didn't throw a fit at this man who was her only stepbrother still alive but looked at this man who was easily five meters tall.

¨Liang Chang what is it?¨ When looking at him, she needed to bend her neck to see her brother's face.

Liang Chang looked down towards her sister, for if he would have stared straight, he wouldn't even see her head.

When Liang Chang spoke what was on his mind, everyone could hear his tone of voice that was unpleasantly low.

¨Empress Rong, didn't you fully hear what advisor Yan told? He clearly stated that this Greenheart mix is said to be an accidental discovery. Of course, that doesn't imply that the person isn't a genius for making one¨

¨However, don't go and trash those common researchers just yet. I advise sister to reason for the Empire that you rule¨

¨We need to try to get the inventor onto our faction before someone else snatches him!¨ The tall man uttered in a deep tone down to her sister on the throne.

¨Yes you are right I was too hasty¨ She took her eyes off him and towards the speaker ¨Advisor Yan do you have anything regarding this man specifically¨ She asked the man who had brought the news.

Xiao Yan, who was the advisor, of course, had done his work well before delivering anything to the Empress, so he had a report ¨The man is called Xiao Fan, he arrived at Hefei City a few weeks ago and contacted the man currently managing the Greenheart business...¨

The list went on and on about Xiao Fan's little background yet when advisor Yan saw his sovereign getting bored did he go to the important section right away.

¨This is where everything gets interesting. He is supposed to take part in a recruitment tournament held in Hangzhou by Zou Zexi the Warlord of the Jungle¨ Which did pique the curiosity of many including Liang Rong.

¨Then it is manageable, get someone to recruit him before the tournament has even ended and enrol him into the Liang Dynasty Royal Institute. Done next topic¨ Without needing to think she had already comprehended what will happen and moved onto the next thing.

She understood that numerous forces on the continent will go and see this Xiao Fan and try to pick him for their cause, but luckily for her, there will not be many who will go against the Liang Dynasty.

However, this news had gotten to the Liang Dynasty weeks after the initial unveiling; furthermore, other people had heard about this, including the Bald Eagle Dynasty.

Back to the normal timeline.

Still, inside the restaurant, Du Lan, Xiao Fan and Lei Tao had concluded their negotiations.

And by now, Lei Tao could see the cut on his hand had stopped the flooding of blood and how it was well on its way to healing to a complete restoration.

Since the deal had been reached, Xiao Fan did their part of it, he took out the receipt to producing Greenheart and gave it to Lei Tao, who only saw two materials and two steps that were required to make it.

The full recipe was to smash Greenflake flower petals into powder and mix it with fresh water.

Not seeing anything else, Lei Tao took penetrating glances towards Xiao Fan that was he bullshitting him?

This revolutionary medication came from mixing water and a weed flower that was found anywhere in a tropical jungle that they were surrounded by?

Yet his glances were met by a simple smile on his face, so it should be accurate ¨Well I hope the most beneficial of co-operations!¨ He stated and quickly as his body could take off from their table, he made his way towards Lei Family compound.

Not at all caring about his position at the north gate, and why should he? After now he would never need to stand around babysitting a gate all day, soon he could focus on more important matters to him.

Seeing the fatso waddle below them on the road fast as he could move his body could the two of them now also start doing things they had been talking about before they had come to Hefei City.

Xiao Fan gazed at her, who next to him sitting there waiting for him to initiate something, discerning this he quietly gulped down and concentrated his confidence, and then went for it.

¨Du Lan lets go someplace nice. I still have most of my money so I can pay for both of us¨

She didn't immediately respond, making him a little uptight, yet it was only for a few seconds before she willingly nodded her head, smiling.

After this, they had a nice dinner eating casually while at the same time, chattering and giggling.

In Xiao Fan's mind, everything was going too well, but hell if everything was going well why complain?

Surely he loved spending time with her like this, and since the most beautiful woman he had seen liked it, he wouldn't try to change anything.

Then after the dinner, Xiao took her to a few shops he had already picked to be the best ones to take her.

Outing her did come costly, but thankfully clothes were mostly in silver coins yet sometimes a piece of jewellery or such did cost gold coins, but now he didn't worry about this.

With her laughing and enjoying the time with him, there was little he wouldn't pay for such and money would be soon coming faster than they could spend it.

Cao Cao's notion that when in a bigger place, Xiao Fan did come much more engaged with her was right.

Xiao Fan had realised a lot about his feelings, particularly those that were towards his partner who had taken care of him so far.

Supplemented by when they were in a bigger city, he had definitely noted how much prettier she was compared to other women.

When the rest of the day had gone by was Xiao Fan very assured what he needed to do sooner the better; there was zero reason to give anyone else even an opportunity with her.

Du Lan had also relished her time with him. She could already recognise where this was going, and she didn't mind, for she also wanted this to happen.

Maybe someday she could get to see what was the thing or being that was promoting Xiao Fan in mysterious ways.

However, before they could be freed for a month, they were required to take part in the unveiling ceremony that had been already booked for the next day because it was just too simple to make.

Du Lan had little to do here other than making contacts and connections while Xiao Fan was needed to be there for he as the inventor would be taking much of the fame.

He was also needed to be here to present himself and such to other big shot who lived in Hefei yet weren't a part of Lei Family.

Xiao Fan managed this somehow, yet it sometimes things became troublesome, for Du Lan would be positioned in such a way that he could see her behind the person he was speaking to...

Well, when they were aligned so his eyes would be on her, even if his priority here was to make money to get filthy rich.

There was no way that he wasn't waiting that when this was over, he could again spend time with her.

While his thoughts were somewhat off, his fame still grew substantially when familiarising himself with different people.

Before this Xiao Fan had been known to many locals as a model of a righteous youth helping mortals. It was so since the talk about slaying a snake that had slaughtered an entire village was a hot topic for many.

And since his fame grew his security also tightened considerably as when they were at the unveiling he had a Body Strengthening realm expert guarding him at all times.

It would only take a second or so to assassinate Xiao Fan, so the person tasked to do this even if he was an officer level retainer was he pretty concerned every time Xiao Fan went for a handshake.

Nevertheless, all in all, the unveiling went as one would have expected.

After Lei Tao revealed the potency of Greenheart everyone amongst the audience was even more shocked than Lei Tao had been and then fierce bidding for it commenced.

The profit they were making was almost at the level of scamming since producing Greenheart costed virtually nothing else than paying for work yet a singular veil that could be a lifesaver was priced around ten gold coins.

The price, of course, depended on how much one person was asking, for example, purchase of one veil went for over ten gold coins while delivery for a vassal family went low as six gold coins per vial.

Still, at the end of the day, the Lei Family gave Xiao Fan and Du Lan over three thousand gold coins for their portion of the sales.

And this number wouldn't become cheaper as very next day the neighbouring cities and towns had already sent people to buy it for themselves.

And this trend would continue all the way to the bigger nations that would be asking for tens of thousands of veils worth of Greenheart per order, though they weren't asking for veils but for barrels.

Meanwhile, Xiao Fan and Du Lan inside the mansion very happily celebrating together for how much money they would be earning day after day.

Xiao Fan was happily laughing and celebrating. However, even if all the money he wanted was now his, he still thought that the real price was seeing her smile towards him.

Du Lan noticing his gazes at her, she couldn't help but smile even more brightly at him, who had made all this possible.
