Lü Shaoqing came to Juxian Tower again.
Wang Yao greeted him, "Senior Brother Lü!"
"Are you here to visit Senior Sister Xiao?"
Lü Shaoqing waved his hand, "No, just find me a seat. No need for a private room, just outside is fine."
"Alas, Tianyufeng has been unbearable these days. People come every day, it's so annoying."
"It's just a small breakthrough to become a Yuan Ying, what's the big deal?"
Wang Yun's face turned red, feeling very uncomfortable.
He really wanted to criticize Lü Shaoqing.
What do you mean by a small breakthrough?
What do you mean by a big deal?
Some people are stuck at this level for their entire lives and never become a Yuan Ying.
I'm still at the Qi Condensation stage.
Wang Yao quickly ran away, afraid that he would really criticize Lü Shaoqing if he stayed any longer.
Lü Shaoqing sat in the hall and soon saw his junior sister Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi had been working here for almost a month.
Compared to when she first started, Xiao Yi had changed a lot.
She wore a smile and greeted customers warmly.
She handled the verbal teasing from some customers with ease and poise.
"Almost there," Lü Shaoqing thought to himself.
When Xiao Yi first came to Tianyufeng, she still had a childish look on her face.
Although she wasn't arrogant like a spoiled young lady, she was still pampered.
Working here and interacting with the common people changed her mindset, which was exactly what Lü Shaoqing needed.
Xiao Yi was born as the young lady of the Xiao family, pampered from a young age.
She grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth and had never experienced the harshness of the real world, so her mental fortitude was not yet mature.
In Lü Shaoqing's view, cultivation starts with cultivating the mind.
As long as the mindset is correct and stable, cultivation will be more efficient.
Xiao Yi was not a genius, but she was not a mediocrity either; her talent was decent.
Letting her gain some experience before cultivating would only benefit her.
Lü Shaoqing practiced in the time room of his ring. At first, he couldn't bear it for more than a day or two.
Later, it gradually became ten days, a month, several months, and then a year.
Each time he finished practicing, he felt a sense of emptiness and沧桑 (cang桑, meaning "沧桑" which can be translated as "沧桑" or "weathered").
So, after practicing, he had to lie down and relax, or he would go crazy.
"There's no way, who made our senior brother such a freak?"
"To be his junior brother or sister, one must have a stable mindset, or it's easy to break down."
Lü Shaoqing muttered to himself.
Ji Yan was incredibly talented and hardworking.
Being a fellow disciple with someone like him was very stressful.
One would often be discouraged.
Without a solid and firm Dao heart, one would eventually break down.
When Xiao Yi first came, she almost couldn't hold on during the first month.
Lü Shaoqing noticed this and decided to let Xiao Yi temporarily stop cultivating and work here.
To temper her mindset.
After a month, Xiao Yi's mindset had recovered quite a bit.
So, after having a meal, Lü Shaoqing found Fang Xiao.
Seeing Lü Shaoqing, Fang Xiao smiled directly, "Young Master Lü, you said you would bring Young Master Ji Yan here for a meal."
"Until now, I haven't seen Young Master Ji Yan."
"Could it be that Young Master Lü has forgotten this matter?"
Ji Yan was now the top trending topic in Qizhou.
Everyone was amazed by this young genius.
Becoming a powerful Yuan Ying before the age of thirty.
His future was limitless.
If someone like Ji Yan came to her Juxian Tower for a meal, Juxian Tower would surely become the top restaurant in Lingxiao City.
Lü Shaoqing said, "No rush, Senior Brother is busy now."
"Let's wait until he has time."
"Alright, I hope Young Master Lü doesn't deceive me."
Fang Xiao knew that Ji Yan was currently busy, but she said this to further build a relationship with Lü Shaoqing.
As Ji Yan's junior brother, being able to connect with Lü Shaoqing, and even Ji Yan, would only bring benefits and no harm.
And!
Fang Xiao's eyes hid a hint of curiosity.
The person in front of her was also a formidable individual.
But she didn't know why he was so low-key.
Unlike Ji Yan, who was in the limelight, Lü Shaoqing was incredibly low-key.
Even as Ji Yan's junior brother, he was still unknown.
Logically, for someone as famous as Ji Yan,
Everything about him would be thoroughly investigated and known.
But not for Lü Shaoqing.
He was like a transparent person, even by Ji Yan's side, he couldn't be known by others.
If it weren't for Fang Xiao's fortunate encounter where she saw Lü Shaoqing's abilities, she would have been deceived by him.
However, even knowing this, she didn't dare to expose it; she wanted to live a few more years.
Then, Fang Xiao asked Lü Shaoqing, "Young Master Lü, is there something you need from me?"
Lü Shaoqing said, "I need to take my junior sister back, please help me settle her wages."
"So soon? It hasn't been a month yet."
Lü Shaoqing said, "A day or two doesn't matter."
"But, if she said she would work for a month, she should work for a month."
"A few days off, I can't calculate the wages."
Mainly, by having Xiao Yi work here, she could better build a relationship with Lü Shaoqing and Xiao Yi.
With Xiao Yi here, Lü Shaoqing would occasionally come here.
Over time, their relationship would naturally become closer.
Having a connection with a high-level expert like Lü Shaoqing was always beneficial.
So, Fang Xiao didn't want Xiao Yi to leave.
But hearing this, Lü Shaoqing stared at Fang Xiao with caution.
"Boss, you're not trying to withhold my junior sister's wages, are you?"
"Is it right? A young girl works hard here, and you want to deduct her wages?"
"Boss, you can't be so heartless."
Fang Xiao:
