Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

After that day, Mu An's shop gained a regular customer.

For the first month, Mu An ignored the scholar, and the scholar did not disturb Mu An's life.

One of them sat at the counter reading a book, and the other sat in the rest area reading a book. Most of the time, they did not disturb each other.

Compared to when the game first started, Mu An now has a little more patience for these mortals.

Although it's not much, it's not enough to constantly think about driving people away.

The scholar seemed rather strange to Mu An. Not only was she dressed as a man, but she also had a rather peculiar habit.

That is, every time the scholar came to the shop, he would approach Mu An and wave to greet him, and he would do the same when he left.

Occasional, sporadic exchanges were always written down with pen and paper.

The scholar insisted on complicating a matter that could have been resolved with a simple sentence.

Mu An was puzzled, but didn't care, simply assuming it was a unique habit of a scholar.

As the only customer in the shop, Mu An was very tolerant of the scholar.

Just as there are all kinds of birds in a big forest, humans are diverse creatures, and it's perfectly normal to have a habit of being a little unsociable.

More importantly, Mu An himself was also communicating with Mu Ling'er in a more complex way.

The scholar's behavior was much more normal than the other two's.

……

Because the scholar would buy small items every time he came, the shop gradually earned some more income.

Although it wasn't much, for Mu'an, who hadn't had much business for a year, this was a rare and unexpected surprise.

If it weren't for the scholar's appearance, Mu An felt that she would have almost been unable to resist cheating.

This is Shuzhou City, the imperial capital of the Southern Frontier. Many important figures here know him. Once you remove the spells that conceal your identity, selling something here won't be too difficult.

……

As Mu An spent more time with him, she gradually discovered that the scholar seemed to be a quiet person as well, just like herself, who preferred peace and quiet.

Mu An was very satisfied with this.

Guests should act like scholars.

Sure enough, the problem wasn't with him, but with the previous guests.

Wouldn't it be better to be quiet and peaceful?

Since the scholar usually reads the books compiled by Wang Le and Wang Pingshan, Mu An simply put the two books together so that the scholar could read them easily, and it would save her from having to rummage through boxes and cabinets every time.

The Wang family members of the two generations were Mu An and Mu Ling'er's most trusted ministers. In Mu An's eyes, Wang Le had always been his chief strategist and the minister he was most satisfied with.

It's naturally a welcome thing that people like their books.

As a result, Mu An found scholars much more pleasing to the eye.

Although the scholar's behavior was strange, he was indeed a scholar with great insight.

……

A month and a half passed peacefully like this. After Mu An repeatedly ruined deals that should have been done, the scholar, who had been holding back, finally couldn't take it anymore.

As a member of the royal family, the scholar felt he already lacked common sense enough and knew absolutely nothing about doing business.

But after spending more than a month in the shop, the scholar finally made a discovery.

Compared to myself, this shop is truly outrageous!

Whether he understands common sense or not is unknown, but one thing is certain: this person has absolutely no business acumen!

If this business continues to squander its savings, it will eventually end up homeless!

The scholar could easily imagine the terrible things that would happen to a deaf-mute person wandering the streets.

Yes, in this month, she also gave Mu An the identity of being mute.

Finally, the scholar, unable to bear it any longer, took decisive action and decided to take Mu An as his role model to put his knowledge into practice.

As Confucius said, true knowledge comes from practice.

In the scholar's eyes, Mu An was undoubtedly the most suitable person for her to verify what she had learned.

If you want to govern a country and bring peace to the world, you must start with the small things around you.

Her first goal was to revitalize this "near-bankrupt" shop and teach the owner how to make a living.

She wanted to prove to her father and brother with her actions that she, Bai Ling, was not some aloof young lady who didn't understand worldly affairs!

……

That day, after Mu An once again ruined a deal that should have been done.

Bai Ling took a piece of paper from the shop, scribbled a bunch of words on it, and then walked aggressively to Mu An, slamming the paper full of writing on the table.

"Take a good look! Learn from this! You're doomed to fail sooner or later!"

Mu An, who was reading a book, looked up at Bai Ling and then glanced at the contents of the text.

At first glance, Mu An felt that this person was probably an idiot.

The meaning of the words is not complicated. Although a lot has been written, it can be summarized in a very simple way.

While criticizing Mu An for not knowing how to do business, the scholar said he would show Mu An how to do business properly so that Mu An could learn from him.

Mu An was puzzled, assuming that the female scholar disguised as a man was simply acting strangely.

This is normal. When Mu Ling'er was a teenager, she would occasionally act crazy and do some inexplicable things.

Teenagers are the most rebellious time, and their thoughts are often incomprehensible to others.

It's understandable that the girl in front of me would do something similar.

In the past, whenever Mu Ling'er had a seizure, Mu An would pretend not to see it, and Mu Ling'er would return to normal on her own after a short while.

Having long been accustomed to Mu Ling'er's eccentricities, Mu An readily agreed after reading the contents of the paper.

Although Mu An felt that even he couldn't sell his own product, this girl was unlikely to be able to sell it either.

But since someone is willing to help me sell my goods, it would be foolish not to agree.

If we can achieve our goal without cheating, that would be ideal.

The two, each with their own agendas, reached an agreement, and Bai Ling began appearing at the shop much more frequently.

If Mu An is a high and mighty god who looks down on everyone equally, then Bai Ling is a truly otherworldly young lady.

Despite her boastful words, Bai Ling found herself in a predicament when she actually tried to operate the game.

She was too embarrassed to greet the guests...

The way the customers in the shop spoke was completely different from the way the people in the palace spoke.

Whenever someone speaks loudly or urgently, she doesn't know what to do.

Whenever this happens, Bai Ling would imitate Mu An, hiding in a corner and pretending to read a book.

……

Time passed little by little, and in two months, Bai Ling had only earned thirty taels of silver.

If costs are removed, this profit is probably not even enough to cover the rent for the Mu'an store, given its size.

This is already the result of Bai Ling's hard work.

It only takes two months to go from being full of ambition and determined to make a great career, to hiding in a corner and pretending to be an ostrich.

On the contrary, Mu An was quite satisfied with this.

Thirty taels was a small amount, but it was still a rare income, much better than what he had before.

As it turns out, this girl, who wasn't the brightest, was more capable than him at business, and she's someone worth learning from.

……

Inside the mansion 500 meters from the shop, the Five Elements Sect disciple responsible for handing over the treasure chest looked completely bewildered.

How could the great Celestial Venerable be stumped by such a trivial matter?

No, no! How could I have such blasphemous thoughts? This must be a test from the Great Celestial Venerable for the mortals of this place!
