READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 56: Pinnacle of Life
“Eighty-twenty split? Or ninety-eight for you, and two for the auction?” Yun Zhongjin put down his wine glass, furrowing his brow slightly as he looked at Jun Jiu. “Miss Jun Jiu, my Yun family’s auction has never been offered such terms before. I don’t doubt your medical skills, but this eighty-twenty split is quite hard to agree to.”
“My elixirs, from now on, will only be auctioned at your Yun family’s auction,” Jun Jiu smiled, her lips curved. “Is that sufficient?”
Only at Yun family’s auction?! !
Yun Zhongjin’s heart skipped a beat. From the Warm Heart and Qi-boosting Pill, it was evident that Jun Jiu’s alchemy skills were profound. Even Elder Dan Ge was captivated by her, and her achievements were sure to be boundless.
But this eighty-twenty split was just…
Yun Qiao suddenly spoke up, interrupting Yun Zhongjin’s thoughts. He said, “Brother, I think this is a great deal. Miss Jun’s alchemy skills are beyond doubt. She will definitely not let us incur losses. Brother, you should agree quickly. Should we sign the contract? I’ll go get it.”
Yun Zhongjin’s mouth twitched. He turned to look at Yun Qiao. Was this still the brother he grew up with?
But Yun Zhongjin didn’t know that Yun Qiao was absolutely right. He would never incur losses in a deal with Jun Jiu!
In the future, because of Jun Jiu’s elixirs, he would elevate the reputation of the Yun family’s auction to all ten kingdoms, ultimately making it famous throughout the land! The elixirs of the Divine Healer Jun Jiu could only be bought at the Yun family’s trading house. This would attract people from all over the world, just to snatch a Divine Healer Jun Jiu’s product.
But Yun Zhongjin didn’t possess foresight. He still hesitated. “Miss Jun Jiu, why did you choose our Yun family?”
“Because I know Yun Qiao. And because your Yun family is in conflict with the Jun family,” Jun Jiu said casually.
The first sentence made Yun Qiao happy, but the second one left the two brothers stunned.
What did that have to do with their conflict with the Jun family?
Wait a minute! Jun Jiu’s last name was Jun. And, Jun Jiu! Wasn’t that the same name as that useless person from the Jun family? The one who was abandoned in Fengluo City. According to Yun Qiao, Jun Jiu saved him there.
Yun Zhongjin and Yun Qiao exchanged a glance, and it seemed like they instantly understood something extraordinary!
This revelation hit them hard, and the two silently raised their glasses. Yun Zhongjin drank wine, while Yun Qiao, due to his health, could only have a cup of tea.
Jun Jiu said, “Have you made your decision? If you agree, this deal can start right now. Yun Young Master, you can rest assured; I, Jun Jiu, will never let you suffer a loss.”
“Meow, meow~”
Little Wu took a sip of wine, and, feeling tipsy, snuggled into Jun Jiu’s lap. She heard Jun Jiu’s words and drunkenly meowed in agreement.
Every one of her owner’s business partners has become wealthy and reached the pinnacle of life. Cooperating with the owner, that’s the way to go! Only fools would refuse to cooperate.
Jun Jiu heard her words, curved her lips, and reached out to scratch Little Wu’s chin. Little Wu, who had been purring, raised her head and met the gaze of Mo Wuyue’s.. Suddenly, the cat’s body stiffened.
Like a bolt of lightning, Little Wu swiftly climbed up and sat on the chair next to Jun Jiu. This sudden reaction surprised Jun Jiu. Why did she suddenly move away?
Little Wu: It sensed danger, shivering in fear QAQ.
At this moment, Yun Zhongjin made a decision. Yun Qiao personally went to fetch pen and ink, allowing Yun Zhongjin to write down two copies of the trading contract, one for Yun Zhongjin and one for Jun Jiu.
Yun Zhongjin looked at the name “Jun Jiu” on the paper, and his penmanship flowed freely, displaying a confident arrogance. Seeing the name was like seeing the person; he had not been wrong.
He couldn’t help but look at Jun Jiu and directly voiced his lingering doubt. “Miss Jun Jiu, what’s your relationship with the Jun family from the Eastern City?”
At these words, Yun Qiao held his breath, looking at Jun Jiu with nervous anticipation.
With a slight smile at the corner of her lips, Jun Jiu stood up and looked directly at the two of them. She chuckled with a hint of darkness, “You’ve already guessed it, haven’t you?”
Yun Qiao was stunned, “Miss Jun, it’s really you!”
“Changing names and identities is of no use. ‘Jun Jiu’ has never changed. This is our first transaction; the names and effects of the elixirs are on the paper. I’ll leave the auction to you, and I’ll contact you when needed.” Leaving behind two bottles of elixirs, Jun Jiu beckoned and left with Mo Wuyue..
What surprised Jun Jiu was that Little Wu didn’t stick around as usual. Instead of seeking her embrace, it walked away on its own, acting unusually.
Hmm, could it be that the cat has grown up and matured?
Jun Jiu had been thinking about her Little Wu at home. Behind her, Yun Zhongjin and Yun Qiao finally regained their senses. They exchanged a long, relieved sigh.
Yun Zhongjin said, “I can’t believe she’s Jun Jiu. Is she a famous waste from the Jun family?”
“Brother, Miss Jun is not a waste!” Yun Qiao corrected Yun Zhongjin with conviction. If Jun Jiu was a waste, there would be no geniuses left in the world.
“But there have been rumors from the Jun family that she’s useless and that they don;t want to bring her back. Who would have thought that Jun Jiu would appear openly in the Dan Pavilion, and Jun Yunxue didn’t even recognize her? It seems like the Jun family is in for a big show this time.”
“Brother, are you suggesting that Miss Jun has come back to settle scores with the Jun family?”
“Of course. She doesn’t seem like the kind to let false accusations slide without retaliation. Qiao Qiao, have you forgotten that our father mentioned in private that Jun Jiu had an engagement with Crown Prince Feng Tianqi?”
Few people knew about Jun Jiu’s engagement with Feng Tianqi, but the Yun family was definitely informed!
While they used to say that Jun Jiu was a waste, the rumors of her return had already debunked that notion. The engagement was still in place, but Feng Tianqi was busy being affectionate with Jun Yunxue. What would Jun Jiu do?
Thinking about Jun Jiu’s style in the Dan Pavilion, Yun Zhongjin’s lips curled into a mischievous smile.
He said, “I’m afraid the Jun family has no idea what kind of person they’ve provoked.”
…
After leaving Yun Zhongjin’s mansion, Jun Jiu glanced around to orient herself. She extended her hand, “Let’s go this way! Bilo should have found a good inn for us; let’s meet her now.”
“No, it’s this way,” Mo Wuyue held Jun Jiu’s hand and changed direction.
Jun Jiu raised an eyebrow, “This way?”
“Yes, Little Nine, just follow me.”
Mo Wuyue’s voice was lazy but carried an irresistible dominance. He released Jun Jiu’s hand and took hold of her instead. Jun Jiu felt a bit skeptical but still followed Mo Wuyue.
Only Little Wu was agitated, clawing and scampering around.
Holding hands!
This villain is making advances on his owner! Meow, meow, but I can’t defeat him. I can’t save my owner’s innocence. So frustrating QAQ.
Mo Wuyue cast a glance at Little Wu and a wicked smile curled on his lips. When he lowered his head to look at Jun Jiu, his ink-dark eyes were deep and mysterious. Mo Wuyue spoke, “I have bought a house in the imperial city. From now on, We will live here.”
“Bought a house? Where?”
“Jiu Jiu, look up~~” Mo Wuyue pointed his fingertip at the center of Jun Jiu’s palm, instantly sending tingles throughout her body.
Jun Jiu frowned but ignored the sensation. She raised her head and saw a courtyard right in front of her. A plaque hung with the words “Mo Residence” on it. Leng Yuan was standing at the entrance, extending his hand to push open the gate. “Please.”
It was early spring. When she pushed the gate, a gust of wind blew, lifting peach blossom petals and carrying their faint fragrance deep into Jun Jiu’s heart, creating ripples.
Jun Jiu didn’t enter but looked at Mo Wuyue. “I’ll be living with you?”
“Or else, would Little Jiu prefer to go back to the Jun family and deal with those annoying ants every day?” Mo Wuyue hit the mark with his words, leaving her unable to retort.
