Brother, how come you're a witch?

In the small study behind Liuliu Secondhand Recycling Shop, Su Yan put down the communication jade tablet and stretched.

Li Changsheng's tone was strange today; talking to him felt like being haunted by resentment, making Su Yan feel increasingly exhausted, so he quickly made his escape.

Although we only had a limit of twenty customers to accept today, due to everyone's overwhelming demand, we still added an appraisal event for 1 spirit stone as an opening bonus.

For just one spirit stone, you can experience Liuliu's appraisal service. Of course, after the appraisal, you can choose not to recycle or choose pre-recycling, but you cannot recycle on the spot.

Because Su Yan had no money in his account.

The event was so popular that Su Yan only just finished processing the last batch of appraisal forms and handed them to the female sword cultivator shop assistant, who also looked exhausted, so she could send them out.

Next, we need to check the accounts and take inventory.

Once everything is confirmed to be correct and positive revenue is achieved, the recycling scale can be expanded tomorrow.

He buried himself in calculations for a while, and when he looked up again, he found that it was already completely dark. He didn't know how much time had passed, but there were still many accounts to be made.

The main problem is that there are too many small businesses involved in the event, and they are too varied. Some items need to be pre-ordered, and some sellers even insist on keeping the items for fear of customers backing out. Others require specific purchases and have already paid deposits. All of these things need to be remembered.

"Xiao Ye, pour me a cup of strong tea."

Su Yan leaned back in his chair, not wanting to move, and took it perfectly natural to order Ye Jingqiu around.

Ye Jingqiu, who was resting with her eyes closed, said without opening them, "I'm not going. I'm not your maid."

"But in addition to giving you a share of the profits, I'll also pay you extra wages, so you have to do something."

Su Yan rubbed his temples.

"I remember you said I was an advisor," Ye Jingqiu said.

"Security consultant, but now nobody's causing trouble."

Su Yan shrugged.

Ye Jingqiu's strength at the peak of Foundation Establishment is still quite formidable. She can even put up a fight against a cultivator in the early stage of Core Formation. If any fellow cultivators come to violently disrupt her, she will suppress all enemies.

"Then I don't want to serve tea and water either."

Ye Jingqiu opened his eyes, a slight hint of dissatisfaction rising deep within his deep, well-like pupils:

"I can help you with some other things."

"for example?"

"Settle the accounts."

"You can do this too?"

Su Yan was shocked and looked at Ye Jingqiu, who was always as cold as an iceberg.

The Little Sword Ancestor was already considered to have a rich range of expressions in front of him; in front of others, he would only be more expressionless. To put it nicely, he was aloof; to put it bluntly, he was like a human bot.

He looked blank and dazed, not like someone who would do mental work like accounting.

"My master has no other disciples, so I have to do all the data." Ye Jingqiu's lips trembled, as if he was recalling some unpleasant memories.

"I see."

Su Yan understood.

Unlike the Xuanqing Sect, the Sword Ruins only studies swords, so it is even more rigorous. It is not enough for a sword to kill an enemy; you also have to cut it beautifully, brilliantly, innovatively, and theoretically, and ideally, cut it to a new research direction.

This inevitably requires Sword Ruins disciples to have stronger calculation abilities, and to perform statistical calculations on the angle, width, force, speed and other aspects of the sword.

Growing up in this environment, it's only natural that Ye Jingqiu would be good at accounting.

"Master Ye, please."

Su Yan was filled with respect, stood up, and made room for Ye Jingqiu by holding onto the back of his chair.

Ye Jingqiu glanced at it, walked to the chair and sat down obediently. He straightened his back seriously, stared at the pile of accounts for a few moments, then picked up his pen and wrote with great skill.

Su Yan watched this clearly from the side.

These simple accounts were no challenge for her at all!

Now things will be a bit easier... Su Yan couldn't help but sigh. Ye Jingqiu is really useful. Although she is in the way of saving the world, she is very versatile in other matters.

They can guard the house, serve tea and water, talk about "GG" (a popular internet slang term for someone who is attractive or influential), and also act as a cashier and bookkeeper.

Su Yan poured Ye Jingqiu a cup of strong tea and placed it beside her. He habitually wanted to pat her shoulder, but seeing that she was writing and couldn't, he patted the back of her head instead.

"You keep calculating, I'll go check the inventory."

"Um......"

Ye Jingqiu's long eyelashes trembled slightly. Without looking up, she simply responded softly.

However, this "hmm" sounded a little strange compared to how it usually sounded.

Su Yan assumed he was just tired and didn't think much of it. He picked up the notebook and headed to the warehouse.

It's called a warehouse, but it's actually a simple, narrow wooden hut built by the members of the training group who secretly cut down trees in the mountains these past few days. It's made of the same material as the rotten wooden sign hanging at the door.

There was no other way; the shop was too small, and there were no rooms inside. There was a patch of open space in the back connected to the sect's greenery, which no one usually walked on, so they naturally requisitioned it.

Of course, someone had to guard the warehouse, so members of several training groups sat and trained around the open space.

Sensing Su Yan's arrival, they all opened their eyes and greeted him, their brows furrowed with excitement. Today's initial success made it difficult for them to calm down. They sat there cross-legged, seemingly circulating their spiritual energy, but in reality, their minds were filled with some wonderful thoughts.

"Stop pretending to practice there. You won't die if you don't practice for a day."

Su Yan waved to them, telling them to do whatever they wanted, and then walked into the warehouse alone.

The warehouse was built quite large, taking up all the open space behind it, but it was completely empty, with hardly anything inside.

After all, it was the first day of business.

This made the inventory of the warehouse much easier. Su Yan opened the ledger and wandered around the warehouse shelves while taking out a few pills from his pocket and popping them into his mouth.

The kidneys need to be nourished at all times so that the essence and blood can be restored quickly.

During the identification process, encountering complex situations also requires consuming essence and blood to strengthen one's spiritual awareness.

The warehouse doesn't have many items, and the workload is light.

Su Yan concentrated and quickly finished the inventory.

Just as he was about to leave, his consciousness, which had been in an excited state all day, became exceptionally sharp at a certain moment as it merged with a bit of essence blood that seeped out after the pill gradually took effect.

He suddenly noticed a shadowy figure approaching furtively from the greenery behind the warehouse.

"Ah, here it comes."

Su Yan sneered, having expected someone to cause trouble.

He didn't rush to call Ye Jingqiu. Instead, he pressed himself against the wall to conceal his aura. With the system's support, he used the Turtle Breathing Technique of the Qi Refining stage at full proficiency. Instantly, he became like a piece of dead wood, blending into the warehouse wall.

I only waited a moment.

A figure dressed in the most common Xuanqing Sect disciple's robes carefully climbed in through the high back window of the warehouse.

It was clearly using a concealment spell, but it wasn't very sophisticated. In front of Su Yan's experienced gaze, it could only slightly conceal its appearance.

The figure cautiously observed the window for a while, and only after confirming that no one was there did it leap in.

But as soon as he landed, Su Yan, who was pressed against the wall, immediately launched a heavy punch.

"You little thief, how dare you!"

Su Yan did not draw his sword, but instead went up and grabbed the target.

The man was startled and immediately tried to cast a spell, but hesitated for a moment after recognizing Su Yan.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yan grabbed his wrist, flipped him over, and pressed him tightly against the wall.

"Ugh!"

The figure let out a somewhat familiar exclamation.

Su Yan frowned, feeling that he was really tired today. How could he have hearing problems twice in a row? Why does this voice sound a bit like Liu Baishuang?

He immediately raised his finger to break the spell on the other person's face, and at that moment, the warehouse door was kicked open.

"Team Leader Su! We heard a really loud bang, what happened?"
