Chapter 85: Changes at Jue Ming Pavilion

Bored at the Qin Family, Qin Qing hopped and skipped her way to Qin Ming's room.

Yesterday was the celebration banquet, so Qin Ming had no time, but today he would surely have time to refine some candy beans for her. Thinking of the delicious candy beans, she came looking for him early in the morning.

She was completely unaware of the attack that happened last night; she only felt that the Family's defenses had become much tighter.

However, as the eldest Young Miss of the Qin Family, no one would stop her, and she didn't pay any attention to the changes in the Qin Family.

"Brother, you lazybones, it's time to get up!"

Qin Qing pounded on Qin Ming's door and shouted loudly.

Qin Ming always called her a lazybones, so she finally had a chance to pay him back.

"Coming!"

Qin Ming's voice came from inside the room.

A moment later, Qin Ming opened the door and looked at his younger sister, who was standing outside the door, looking anxious.

He couldn't help but stretch and asked, "What's wrong? You're up so early?"

"Early? You should take a look…" As she spoke, Qin Qing pointed to the sun already high in the sky and said, "The sun is already so high, and you're still sleeping!"

Qin Ming looked up at the sun and laughed, "As expected, you wouldn't get up unless the sun was high in the sky. I thought you had turned over a new leaf and came to find me before the sun was even out."

"Hmph…" Hearing her brother's sarcasm, Qin Qing turned her face away and said, "I won't play with you anymore; you're always badmouthing me."

Patting his sister's head, Qin Ming smiled and said, "Alright, what did you come here for?"

Hearing this, Qin Qing remembered that she had come to find her brother for something important.

"Brother, didn't you say you would refine candy beans for me after the competition? Why are you going back on your word now?"

Qin Ming rubbed his nose. It was true; he had indeed promised his sister before the competition, but there had been so many things lately that he had forgotten.

"I didn't forget; I've just been busy, haven't I? Even if you didn't ask, I would have taken the initiative to refine candy beans for you."

"Liar!" Qin Qing said loudly, "Brother, you're lying! You clearly forgot!"

"No, I didn't!" Qin Ming argued, "Let's head out now; I'll go buy some spirit plants for you!"

"Great!" Qin Qing said happily, "You're not allowed to lie this time! Actually, no, I'm going with you!"

"Alright then!" Qin Ming smiled.

Jue Ming Pavilion in Liu City had opened its doors early in the morning. The attendant was arranging spirit plants, preparing for the day's sales.

A few shop assistants were cleaning. Early in the morning, there weren't many Martial Artists buying or selling spirit plants, so they were taking advantage of this time to clean up properly.

Qin Ming and Qin Qing arrived there, holding hands.

"Young Master Qin, you haven't been here in a long time!"

The attendant saw Qin Ming and immediately came to greet him.

Qin Ming nodded, held Qin Qing's hand, and walked inside.

"Young Master Qin, this is our Steward Zhang."

The attendant introduced him to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming looked up at the Middle-aged Man dressed as a steward.

"This must be Young Master Qin, right? Truly handsome and dashing."

Steward Zhang smiled.

"What about the previous Steward Li?" Qin Ming asked, puzzled.

He remembered that it was Steward Li who used to manage this shop; had the personnel changed?

Steward Zhang smiled, not minding that Qin Ming asked like that.

The attendant hurriedly explained, "Steward Li was transferred away by the headquarters. Now, Steward Zhang is in charge of the entire Jue Ming Pavilion in Liu City."

"Steward Li has been promoted." Steward Zhang said with a chuckle, "Steward Li accumulated enough contributions, and now he has been transferred to a big city!"

Qin Ming nodded. He actually knew that the background of Jue Ming Pavilion was not simple; its Power spread throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty, and he had heard that there were Jue Ming Pavilion shops in other Dynasties as well.

With such a large Power, they naturally had their own management methods.
