Chapter 1498: Interests Determine the Result

Xia Chuan clasped his fists calmly and said, "I am Xia Chuan, the descendant of the Ferry Dan Saint."

This sentence made everyone change color.

The ladies, maids, housekeepers and servants had regained their ability to move since the Earl's return, but since the Earl was present it was not their turn to speak. But now they all exclaimed in surprise.

Zuo Nanshuang pointed directly at Xia Chuan and scolded, "How dare you pretend to be the descendant of the Ferry Dan Saint?"

The earl's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Xia Chuan added calmly: "You have met Su Qin, right? You should know his belt, right?"

Everyone was startled.

Xia Chuan had an extra belt in his hand.

Everyone understood, and Zuo Nanshuang's expression changed again.

The Earl saw it all at a glance, even the spiritual herbs inside. After all, there were no restrictions. He took a deep breath:

"This is indeed Su Qin's belt. Is he dead?"

"That's right. So I am the only successor." Xia Chuan calmly put away his belt.

The Earl did not rashly ask who killed him. The belt was in Xia Chuan's hands. This matter was obviously extremely strange. Even if he was dead, he should be in the hands of the eldest lady of the Zhendan Chamber of Commerce, unless it was Xia Chuan who killed him.

But Xia Chuan actually became the successor of the Alchemy Saint.

This can't be faked. With the belt, how can Dan Sheng not find it?

But this matter was too damaging to Dan Sheng's reputation, so it was better not to know about it. He made a decisive decision:

"I didn't expect to be deceived by Qin Hong. Since she is dead, it doesn't matter. My son was wronged, so let him come back."

Now that the crime has been pinned on Qin Hong, Xia Chuan can let go of the fact that she killed him, and his son must come back, otherwise how can both of them be wrong?

The most important thing is that since his son has such a good relationship with Xia Chuan and is willing to kill Qin Hong for him, this is not a bad thing.

Interests determine outcomes.

It’s not as difficult as Zuo Qinglou thought.

Xia Chuan used his mental power and Zuo Qinglou suddenly appeared.

The Earl no longer had any doubt that things with souls could not enter the storage space, unless it was a small world with the laws of life. Xia Chuan's inner world was much more advanced than the small world and could grow.

No wonder nothing happened after killing Su Qin. How bright would the future be for those who can open up the world within their bodies?

He only came to his senses when Zuo Qinglou appeared. He had no idea what had happened and thought he had just left the street.

I didn't expect that as soon as I landed, I found myself at Zuo's house. I was stunned.

Are you walking into a trap?

The Earl said very gently: "You were framed by Qin Hong. I already know that. Now that she is dead, don't take it to heart. You are still a member of the Zuo family in the future. You are completely free to do whatever you want."

Zuo Qinglou never expected this result, and said excitedly: "Thank you, father."

Then he turned to his mother, the Earl's Sixth Wife, and said respectfully, "Mom, I am sorry for wronging you."

The Sixth Madam was in tears. Her son was expelled from the Zuo family, and she became a servant. She suffered countless cold stares from the whole family, and her cultivation was abolished. She could not go anywhere and could only live here and be punished.

But now, Xia Chuan has come, everything has been reversed, and only immense sadness remains.

She just choked up and said, "Listen to your father and Xia Chuan from now on."

"Yes." Zuo Qinglou turned his eager eyes to Xia Chuan: "Brother, look at my mother..."

Xia Chuan waved his hand: "It's a small matter, but I don't have any spiritual herbs. I'll make a list and you can prepare them yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, a list appeared out of thin air and was shown to the Earl.

The Earl read it carefully and said softly, "It will take three days. I wonder if you are busy?"

Xia Chuan smiled and said, "I just need three days to refine the weapon."

The count immediately handed the list to the butler and told him to prepare two copies.

The housekeeper naturally understood that there was still a Seventh Madam in prison. Since his son was innocent, the Seventh Madam had to be released and her cultivation had to be restored.

Zuo Nanshuang's face looked extremely ugly. She certainly understood that interests determined everything and everything was irreversible. Her mother had died in vain and she no longer had a place in this family.

She only regretted why she had made the descendant of the Ferry Dan Saint kneel down. Now she only had one choice left, the one that was most in line with her own interests...

She immediately walked up to Xia Chuan and bowed: "I'm sorry..."

"No need." Xia Chuan waved his hand to interrupt: "We are even."

Even someone's mother was killed, so we have to keep a high profile.

Zuo Nanshuang was depressed.

The Earl couldn't let his daughter apologize. If he had to apologize after killing his wife, how could the Earl save his dignity? But it would be best if his daughter could resolve the grudge herself.

He smiled and changed the subject: "Let me introduce you to..."

He was just making the first move, so why should he speak? The eldest lady smiled kindly and said:

"My name is Jiang Zhecui. Unfortunately, my daughter is not with me. Her name is Shiyun. She is in Xingkong Academy. I will introduce her to you when I have the chance."

Xia Chuan smiled and clasped his fists: "I heard about it from the brothel. I really admire her. I will definitely pay a visit to the young lady if I have the chance."

No one thought Xia Chuan was being polite. Zuo Shiyun was truly a generation of beauty. The entire Xingkong Academy was a beauty, and there were no more than three people who could compare to her. Xia Chuan was only a flesh body after all, but his methods and his identity were enough to see Shiyun.

Afterwards, he greeted the Second Madam to the Sixth Madam one by one, and then the three young ladies, all of whom were Zuo Nanshuang's sisters.

The Zuo family has three other sons who are all imperial warriors. The ladies specifically told Xia Chuan their names so that he wouldn’t get into trouble again if they encountered them in the future.

Xia Chuan naturally remembered it. He found that those who stayed at home were nothing, and he didn't take any of them seriously.

On the contrary, the three young ladies are all very interested in Xia Chuan. He seems to be the best choice for them. Unfortunately, the flower is willing but the water is flowing without mercy.

The Earl also knew that it was impossible, so he simply left time for Qinglou: "Since you need to refine the weapon, let Qinglou take you to the room. Tell Qinglou what you need, and it will be fine if you can find it in three days."

Xia Chuan thanked him and took his leave, then followed Zuo Qinglou into his room.

Zuo Qinglou asked: "Brother, what materials do you need?"

"Nothing. Tell me about the Aurora Chamber of Commerce."

Zuo Qinglou said, "That is the top chamber of commerce in the empire. The president Gong Yangye and the eldest daughter Gong Yangbing are the two most talented. Moreover, they are the only chamber of commerce that has a business building in the Xingzhao Federation. Others are not allowed to do so."

Xia Chuan immediately became interested: "Is this a government-run business?"

"That's right. Gong Yangye's sister is the imperial consort. The Empire is good at martial arts, and the Federation is good at technology. They each have their own strengths. The technological products that the Empire needs are all purchased through the Aurora Chamber of Commerce. The same is true in reverse. The elixirs and magic weapons that the Federation needs are also purchased through the Aurora Chamber of Commerce."

Xia Chuan understood that this was the level of skill, and monopoly business was the easiest to do.

"What if the transaction is private among the people?"

"That's troublesome. There's an energy wall between the Empire and the Federation. It can block even large battleships. Even particle cannons can't penetrate it. It's like splitting the ferry in half. Ordinary people can't get through it."

"Aren't there more than fifty satellites? Can't we just travel to the satellites first?"

"Brother, have you never encountered space pirates?" Zuo Qinglou asked curiously.

"Oh, I see."
