Chapter 101: Jinbao Crisis, Wu Family Poaching (Subscription Request)
Decheng is located in the northeast of Fuzhou, facing the sea.

Not big, but very important.

Because it is adjacent to Funing Bay, a very large bay with abundant seafood and resources, but it is rare to see powerful sea monsters wreaking havoc.

Therefore, this place has developed very well and can be regarded as an important town in Fuzhou.

In a courtyard in the northern district of Decheng.

A beautiful woman with pearl hair ornaments, embroidered silk skirt, oval face, crystal skin, gentle yet sharp eyebrows and eyes sat on a chair and suddenly spoke:
"Is there no information about Uncle San and the others yet?"

"Reply Miss, not yet."

A heroic young man nearby answered.

"Maybe he was delayed on the way."

"The journey from Suzhou to Fuzhou only takes one month, but it's already been almost two months. There won't be any accidents in between, right?"

Chen Wenyue was a little worried.

"The Third Master and the Fifth Master are here, and with that ancestor backing us up, there shouldn't be any problems."

Dong Li was comforted.

"Well, with the Fourth Ancestor here, there really shouldn't be any problems, but..."

Chen Wenyue nodded.

Although Daxia is in turmoil now, all parties are ready to make moves and bandits are rampant.

But there is still some suppression at present, and the sixth level of bandits has basically reached the top.

A fifth-grade master of great magical powers is still an absolutely powerful deterrent force that can sweep across the four directions and suppress most situations.

Of course, grudges and hatred are excluded.

If one day even a fifth-grade master of great supernatural powers is in danger and useless, then this world will probably be not far from destruction.

“Miss, the three alchemists we recruited have all been poached by the Wu family, and the elixirs in our store are almost exhausted.

If we still can’t find a new alchemist, then our Jinbaozhai will probably have to close down.”

Dong Li told the most important thing at the moment.

"I know, but it's hard to find a good alchemist. I haven't met a suitable one yet, and ordinary alchemists are not very useful..."

Chen Wenyue was also a little helpless.

Alchemists are so rare, and they are indispensable whether for improving one's own strength or earning spirit stones.

However, the powerful ones are basically in the hands of major forces, and they all have inherited factions.

Those that are not powerful are of little use.

It would take too much time and resources to cultivate it by myself...

She finally picked out three apprentices with good qualifications from among thousands of apprentices and trained them.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they achieved some results, they were poached one after another by their rival, the Wu family.

Being an alchemist is a promising profession, and those talented apprentices are unlikely to sign a life-and-death contract with you, as the restraint is not strong enough.

However, their rivals, the Wu family, spared no expense, completely disregarding gains and losses, and suppressed them everywhere.

This made their situation increasingly difficult and gradually led them to despair.

Does the Chen family have to give up the medicine business and only be able to engage in the sale of low-end basic pills, ordinary weapons and raw materials?
The money earned every year would probably not be enough to cover the round-trip fare between Suzhou and Fuzhou.

The Chen family must move out of the low end and do upper-level business.

Otherwise, there would be no point for her to come to the Southeast.

"Miss, something bad has happened. I saw the Wu family's steward contacting Master Lu."

Suddenly a servant came to report.

"what?"

Chen Wenyue suddenly jumped up from her chair.

“You have robbed the alchemist, and now you want to rob my Chen family’s only craftsman who can forge Xuanbing. This is too much.

Is Master Lu's family on the list of people coming this time?"

"Yes!"

Dong Li replied, his expression changing.

He understood that the Wu family had probably been in contact with Master Lu for a long time, and Master Lu had probably already agreed, but...

"boom--"

Chen Wenyue slapped the table hard.

"hateful!
Let’s go to the craftsman’s workshop. I want to have a good talk with Lu Yuan!

If he leaves our Chen family, he may not be able to live as comfortably as he does now!"

Chen's workshop is right next door. Inside is a medicine workshop, and outside is a weapons workshop.

Soon Chen Wenyue came here with a group of people.

"Master Lu, don't you understand yet?
Shopkeeper Chen is fooling you. There is no spaceship coming from the northwest, and it is even more impossible for your family to come.

Think about it carefully. They are the Chen family's means of restraining you. How could they send you here, to your side, and give you a chance to escape?
That's not how business works.

As long as you leave the Chen family now, our young master said that he would ask friends or send someone to the northwest to bring your family here to reunite with you and enjoy happiness.

By then, your family will be happy and harmonious, how wonderful it will be." "But, but, what if the Chen family doesn't let you go?
In the northwest, in Yuanwu City, the Chen family’s strength…”

"The Chen family is powerful, but doesn't our Wu family have any?
Besides, do you know who is the backer behind our Wu family?

He is a big shot in Huanhai Pavilion.

You have been in Fuzhou for almost two years. I believe you should know the strength and status of Huanhai Pavilion, right? "

"Illusion Sea Pavilion!"

"Yes, it is Huanhai Pavilion!
How about it, are you confident now?
Would our Wu family lie to you?

You should know that there are countless craftsmen who want to join our Wu family. It’s just because our young master has a different attitude towards the Chen family that he has invited you again and again. Otherwise...

If you miss this opportunity, it may be impossible for you to come to our Wu family again in the future."

"Can't you wait a little longer?

Three days, three days at most!
Three days later, no matter if my family comes or not, I will definitely leave the Chen family and go to the Wu family!"

"Three days and three days, three days and three days, a month has passed.

I have patience, but our young master does not.

In one word, go or not?

If you want to go, follow me. If you don't want to go, then...

Hey, you have to think about it carefully.

Our young master may be a little restrained with Shopkeeper Chen, but for you..."

The voice of the person coming suddenly became fierce.

"!!!"

Lu Yuan was shocked for a moment, and then there was a wonderful look on his face.

"Go ahead, my Chen family will let you go!"

Chen Wenyue appeared from behind the door.

"Miss!"

Lu Yuan was startled and sweat broke out on his entire back instantly.

"Shopkeeper Chen."

The Wu family's steward was not panicked when he saw Chen Wenyue.

Because he did it on purpose today, there must be consequences today.

If Lu Yuan is not captured, he will be severely punished.

“Since Master Lu’s heart is no longer with the Chen family, what is the point of staying here?
Our Chen family is not unreasonable, nor do we want to be the evil master who pulls out the tendons and skins people.

When your family arrives, I will send someone to take them over.

Once you leave the Chen family, never think of stepping back in again, ever!"

Chen Wenyue said lightly.

"Miss..."

Dong Li was anxious.

If Lu Yuan also leaves, Jinbaozhai will really have to close.

"Shh-"

Chen Wenyue waved her hand to interrupt Dong Li's words.

"Well, well, well, Shopkeeper Chen is very courageous. He is indeed worthy of being the person chosen by our young master."

The Wu family steward applauded.

"~~"

Lu Yuan's heart was shaken violently, then he bent down, clasped his fists, and saluted respectfully.

"Thank you, Miss!"

"Let's go!"

Chen Wenyue waved her hand and turned to walk into the yard.

"If any of you want to leave, you can follow me. As I said before, once you leave the Chen family, you are no longer a member of the Chen family. Please do as you please!"

"~~"

Dong Li didn't know what to say.

Finished!

They probably really need to pack up and go back to the Northwest.

It’s just that the current situation in the northwest…

"Whoosh-"

At this moment, a servant ran in quickly and shouted in surprise:

"Miss~Miss! The ship is coming! The spaceship from home is coming!"
