30 Greed
"Nie En? If I recall correctly, he was recently promoted to gold rank fighter?" Xiao Yi asked skeptically.
"Yes that Nie En." Ye Xinghan nodded.
"Young master, may I say something?" Xiao Yi suddenly asked, then he continued without waiting for Ye Xinghan's response,"How about to make this cooperation only between us. We will get much larger profit if those main ingredients are handled by me or master Ye Xiao." Xiao Yi said with the tone of deceiving a kid.
*THUMP*
Suddenly, his heart palpitated wildly. His senses screaming in danger making his whole body shuddered. But, all of that vanished instantly, as if it was just an illusion.
He looked up to Ye Xinghan but only noticed that he was so relaxed as if nothing happened.
'What was that??' Xiao Yi confusedly thought. His heart was still beating fast, afraid there was enemy sneaking in.
"Uncle Xiao Yi, I'm here to ask for your cooperation, not negotiating. It was fine if you don't agree, I can visit the other family." Ye Xinghan said while sipping a cup of tea. He continued, "I believe our conditions were generous enough for you, but it doesn't mean our choice was only Winged Dragon Family!"
"I agree, I agree!! Winged Dragon Family will only take 40% of the profit while master Ye Xiao will take 60%!" Xiao Yi nodded his head quickly, he assumed that those terrifying aura was from hidden master behind Ye Xinghan.
Xiao Yi was afraid if he became too greedy, then someone would assassinate him without anyone knowing.
'These powerful people doesn't play by the rules!' He thought.
Ye Xinghan shook his head as he said, "If I said you took 60%, then you took 60%! And remember, don't think about oppressing the Heavenly Marks Family. You must buy those thing with satisfactory price! If I hear something about it..." Ye Xinghan stopped his sentence and then he made a throat-slitting gesture with his thumb.
Xiao Yi pecked his head like a chicken as a response.
He believe it 100%!
Because although killing was forbidden inside the Glory City, it happened frequently outside the walls.
He is the second young master of Winged Dragon Family, he need to proof his strength through demon beasts hunting and subjugation!
Who cares if suddenly he was attacked and died in the wilderness?
Right now, he understood the saying "Accompanying an emperor is like accompanying a tiger!"
Ye Xiao's wrath wasn't something he could handle at all!!!
"You don't need to be overly concerned with it. If you can splendidly does your duty, maybe my father will need another help from you." Ye Xinghan grinned as he continued, "And in turn, maybe he will help you solved your difficulties!"
Xiao Yi's face became brighter as he heard those sentence.
'PATRIARCH!' He understood the hidden meaning behind Ye Xinghan's words.
"Young Master Xinghan! please send my words to master Ye Xiao. This Xiao Yi will go through mountains and seas if master wishes, my life and death will belong to master Ye Xiao!" Xiao Yi respectfully cupped his hand as he make those empty promises.
"Save your sweet talks, your result talk louder than any other words!" Ye Xinghan waved his hand, "I give you 4 days to prepare everything, then I will send the recipes and chefs to the destined location."
"Thank you young master for your generosity." Xiao Yi cupped his hand again. 4 days was really short for preparing a restaurant, but in order to show his sincerity he would do his best!
Ye Xinghan nodded and get up from his seat, "Alright, that's enough for now. I will tell other instruction in another day."
Xiao Yi nodded as he followed Ye Xinghan respectfully. He couldn't see Ye Xinghan as a kid anymore after their talk. The way Ye Xinghan act and move, his manner and eloquent talking was way beyond his years!

When Ye Xinghan arrived at the family courtyard, he was greeted by Head Servant Feng. He saw Ye Ziyun chasing another little girl with brownish orange hair.
'So, it's Xiao Ning'er!'
As a little girl, she was already devastatingly beautiful. The innocent smile on her face enough to make any adults melt.
'Fate is too cruel on her.' Ye Xinghan thought.
Then, Ye Xinghan ignored them as he took a seat on the nearby chair. He took out several books about alchemy and inscription from his space ring.
Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er played together until sunset before Head Servant Feng forcefully brought Ye Ziyun back.
The whole time Ye Xinghan read a book, Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er ignored him because they were too shy. Ye Ziyun too shy because of something everyone knows, while for Xiao Ning'er, Ye Xinghan was a stranger as this was the first time they met.
Then, Ye Xinghan party went back to the Snow Wind Family.

When Ye Xinghan arrived at his courtyard, he noticed Gyutarou dragging Ume into their room.
"Hahaha, good evening!!" Ye Xinghan laughed as he greeted them.
"You Demon!" Gyutarou shouted sorrowfully, Ume said nothing as she was too exhausted.
'Well, actually you are the demon, and your sister too.' Ye Xinghan said in his heart, but of course he said nothing in reality.
"Ah, this is for your future. Grit your teeth and hang on." Ye Xinghan calmly smiled. He took out a several herbs and waved it in front of Gyutarou, "Come, I've learned a bit of alchemy and wanna try it!"
"Both of you will take a bath using these herbs. Its purpose was to strengthen your muscle as well as to fasten their healing." Then, Ye Xinghan went first to the bathroom without waiting for Gyutarou.
He saw 2 big buckets filled with hot water that were separated by a thick curtain, presumably these were prepared by servants earlier for Gyutarou and Ume.
Ye Xinghan threw the herbs one by one as he stirred it according to the instruction.
It only took around 3 minutes to finished the process.
"Hehe, try it. No need to thank me!" Ye Xinghan said smugly.
Gyutarou and Ume only rolled their eyes. Then, each of them went to the buckets.
Gyutarou took out all of his robes at once and he dipped into the water with relaxed expression.
But, Ume only silently look at Ye Xinghan.
"What?" Ye Xinghan asked while still wearing his smug expression. He wanted to personally see the effect through these 2 guinea pigs.
Ume blushed deeply and feebly said,
"Can you get out?"
"Oh!"

Ye Xinghan being aggresive to Xiao Yi is because he didn't like Xiao Yi in the original novel.
