Chapter 58 Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles
"In the morning, basically all countries declare their declarations, and the official competition starts in the afternoon."
Ling Xuewei looked unconcerned.
"There's no point in going anyway. I happen to have some personal things to do. Don't worry, go ahead. I won't miss the game."
"Well, cousin, please be careful."
Ling Xuewei got out of the car. Seeing her get out of the car, the Ling Mansion's carriage behind them all looked around, but no one said anything.
The team continued to march. Ling Xuewei held Snowball in her arms, turned a street and entered Xuanyuan Bookstore.
After this period of time, the first issue of Xuanyuan Bookstore magazine was finally published!
Due to the good early publicity and the gimmick of the lucky draw, the first issue of the magazine was sold out as soon as it was sold!
And the most important thing is, because it is the first issue, a special edition is also produced.
It contains a detailed introduction to the four-nation competition and information about some players, so it became very popular after it was published!
In the end, demand exceeded supply, and each copy was sold for the price of a low-grade spiritual stone!
So during this period, Ling Xuewei made a lot of money! Not only did she pay off all her previous debts, she also made a net profit of one thousand low-grade spiritual stones in less than seven days!
This made Ling Xuewei happy for a long time.
She can imagine how much profit Xuanyuan Bookstore will bring to her with this weekly magazine!
Now, the spiritual stone that maintains the space every month was finally found, which made her feel relieved.
Ling Xuewei sat in the back hall, quietly listening to He Ming's performance report, and feeding Xueqiu snacks from time to time.
"I understand, you have worked hard during this period. Take advantage of these few days to have a good rest."
Ling Xuewei threw out a money bag.
"This is a reward for you, as well as the clerks. Each of them is also rewarded with twenty taels of silver, as a reward for their hard work in recent days."
He Ming took the heavy bag and said with great gratitude, "Thank you, Master. I would like to thank you on behalf of the people below..."
In the past, their monthly salary was less than three taels, and even He Ming only had five taels.
Since Ling Xuewei came, not only has the monthly income doubled, but there are also regular rewards.
This made the people below even more motivated and grateful to their master.
Of course, most people in the store don’t know who the real owner is behind Xuanyuan Bookstore. This is also to avoid too much trouble.
"He Ming, after the business gradually stabilizes over time, I want to gradually expand the store in the capital." Ling Xuewei said lightly.
"Master, what you mean is..." He Ming looked confused.
"When the time comes, you promote a capable person and he will manage this place."
Ling Xuewei ordered.
"Please help me survey the stores in the prime areas of the capital and make a detailed report based on their location, cost-effectiveness, and traffic flow. I will open at least three more bookstores within two months!
"
He Ming was shocked, thinking that in the future the entire capital would be filled with Xuanyuan Bookshop stores, he couldn't help but feel excited!
"How about it? Are you willing?" Ling Xuewei raised her eyebrows.
"My subordinate is willing! Thank you for the promotion, master! I will definitely do my best to complete the errands assigned by my master!" He Ming was very excited.
"Well, you are capable and very careful. But you have to understand that there are many capable people. What I value most is loyalty." Ling Xuewei's eyes narrowed slightly, flashing a sharp light.
He Ming was shocked, "I understand that I will never let my master down."
"Well, I'm relieved about that." Ling Xuewei nodded.
After explaining some things to He Ming, he sent him out.
Ling Xuewei checked the time and saw that it was almost noon. She got up and went to the inner room, changed into dark clothes, put on some disguise and left Xuanyuan Bookstore.
The figure quickly shuttled through the dark alleys on the street corners, and soon arrived at the destination.
This time she acted alone to find out where the Medicine King Cauldron was placed.
Ling Xuewei turned around and came to a building.
This is the place where the rewards for this competition are placed. There are many officers and soldiers guarding the outside. Ling Xuewei's figure flashed and jumped into the courtyard.
At this time, a group of officers and soldiers came here on patrol. Ling Xuewei quickly ducked and hid behind the rockery, and faint voices could be heard in front of her.
"We need to strengthen our defense in the past two days and make sure nothing goes wrong. Do you understand?"
"My subordinate understands. It's just captain, we are guarding an empty courtyard, why are we so cautious?"
"Shhh! Don't you want to die? Do you know that there are some things you can't say? If others hear it, your life and mine will not be guaranteed!!"
"Yes, I realize my mistake..."
"The prizes in every four-nation competition are top priority, so naturally we have to be cautious! We are just doing this to deceive others. There are other places where the real prizes are given! Even I don't know! Remember, this
Only you and I know the matter, and we can never say goodbye to anyone else! Do you understand?!"
"Yes, my subordinates know, captain, don't worry..."
…
The two of them drifted away while talking. It was not until they disappeared that Ling Xuewei came out from behind the rockery.
I didn't expect to hear such a secret.
It seems that this trip was in vain. The place where the prize is stored is not here.
To put it bluntly, with so many people watching the Medicine King Cauldron, how could it be placed in a place where everyone knows about it.
Knowing this, Ling Xuewei didn't stay any longer and left here quickly.
After quietly changing her clothes in a deserted place, Ling Xuewei headed towards the Colosseum.
Today is the opening ceremony of the Four Nations Competition, so the sound of gun salutes has been heard all morning.
Such a big movement attracted countless people to watch.
When Ling Xuewei came outside the Golden Colosseum, she couldn't help but click her tongue when she looked at the huge crowd of people.
This scene is truly unprecedented.
After finally squeezing to the front and showing my player token, I finally entered the Colosseum.
Just looking at the crowded scene inside, Ling Xuewei felt a little worried.
Where should I find Xiao Yifeng?
Where is her position?
What about the competition staff?
Why didn't you see anyone?
"Huh? Why are you here?"
At this time, Ling Xuewei heard a familiar voice, turned around and saw Yu Wenxuan walking towards her.
Ling Xuewei didn't expect to meet Yu Wenxuan here.
Ling Xuewei was very grateful for his help that night.
Today, Yu Wenxuan is dressed in a light blue python robe. He has a heroic appearance and a handsome face. He has attracted the attention of many women along the way.
"I have met the Prince of Xiliang." Ling Xuewei saluted.
"No need for gifts, this is not in the palace, so there are no need for so many gifts."
Yu Wenxuan smiled and waved a jade fan, looking very romantic.
"Why is Miss Ling here? Xuanyuan Kingdom's waiting area is not here!"
Ling Xuewei suddenly realized.
It turned out that she had gone the wrong way, no wonder she couldn't see an acquaintance.
Seeing that Ling Xuewei was silent, Yu Wenxuan understood and said with a smile, "I have nothing to do now anyway, I will send Miss Ling there."
Ling Xuewei did not refuse after hearing this, "Then thank you, Your Highness."
"Stop calling me Prince Prince. Just call me Yu Wenxuan. It sounds more comfortable that way."
Ling Xuewei looked at him and saw his cheerful face, so she smiled and said, "Okay, then don't call me Miss Ling. Just call me Xuewei."
After saying this, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, feeling a bit sympathetic to each other.
"Okay, Xuewei, after I said goodbye to the palace banquet, I was still thinking about when I could see you again! I didn't expect you to also participate in the Four Nations Competition!" Yuwen Xuan said with a smile.
"Yes?" Ling Xuewei raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but laugh, "So you are too?"
"Of course, how could such a fun thing happen without me?" Yu Wenxuan said, waving his fan.
"Aren't you the prince? Do you still need to participate in person?" Ling Xuewei was surprised.
"So what, Prince? No one can stop me from what I want to do!" Yuwen declared.
Yu Wenxuan exuded an aura of confidence and flamboyance, which made Ling Xuewei's mouth curl up slightly.
As a prince, there is no one else who can live such a free and easy life.
"By the way, were you okay that night? I've heard a lot of rumors about you since then!" Yu Wenxuan looked at Ling Xuewei teasingly.
Ling Xuewei raised her eyebrows, "What rumors? Tell me about it?"
"For example, it's about your identity and your engagement with someone. Of course, it's also necessary to add fuel to the fire about what happened that night..." Yu Wenxuan had a smirk on his face.
Ling Xuewei sighed, "You guessed it, good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles."
"Haha, it's not as exaggerated as you said!"
Yu Wenxuan said.
"But I think one thing is very strange. Why are there rumors that you stay in the palace because of the Queen? And there is not a word about Mr. Mo."
Ling Xuewei also knew about this.
Ling Xuewei guessed that there were only a few people in the entire capital who could do this.
But Ling Xuewei felt that Gu Yunqing was more likely.
Because it was Gu Yunqing who specially sent a message to Ling Mansion that night, saying that she was kept in the palace by the Queen. After that, there were no more rumors about the palace banquet that night.
Why did Gu Yunqing do this? Ling Xuewei didn't understand. That man acted secretly and she couldn't see through it.
"You don't know, and I don't even know. But I didn't expect that the dignified prince would be so gossipy." Ling Xuewei glanced at him.
"Hahaha! Anyway, I am idle. What's more, there is no need for anyone to inquire. Nowadays, there are rumors about you in the streets and alleys. It's hard for me not to know."
Because of what happened at the palace banquet, Ling Xuewei stole the limelight among the nobles.
Later, it spread to the ears of the people, and it was spread from one person to another, and in the end almost everyone in Xuanyuan Kingdom knew about it.
Being famous is not because of strength, but because of gossip. Ling Xuewei also expressed her helplessness.
Ling Xuewei and Yu Wenxuan chatted while walking, and soon arrived at the waiting area of Xuanyuan Kingdom.
The place was already full of people, almost all of whom were descendants of major families and nobles in Xuanyuan Kingdom.
Most of them had attended the palace banquet a few days ago, so they naturally recognized Ling Xuewei.
"Look! Isn't that the crown prince of Xiliang? Why is he with Ling Xuewei?"
"Yeah, I didn't expect that in just a few days, she would hook up with the prince of Xiliang Kingdom again! Tsk, this woman is really not simple!"
